Why did you attack Zhou?

The last king of Shang Dynasty was Zhou. Zhou turned out to be a very clever and brave man. He can fight wild animals with his bare hands. He once hung nine cows upside down and changed the column by hand without changing color. In his early years, he personally led troops to wage a long-term war with Dongyi. He is very talented in military affairs. He won every battle, finally pacified Dongyi, and spread the culture of Shang Dynasty to Huaishui and the Yangtze River basin. However, the long-term war cost a lot, which increased the burden of businessmen and their suffering.

As usual, Zhou only knows pleasure, regardless of other people's lives. He built palaces endlessly. He built a magnificent "Lutai" in his own capital, Chao Ge (now Qixian County, Henan Province), and stored all the gold and silver treasures he collected in it. He also built a huge warehouse called "Giant Bridge" to store the mined grain. He poured the wine into the pool and hung the meat like a forest. He and his beloved da ji lived a luxurious life, which increased the burden of civilian slaves. People complained about the sky, and some other countries rose up against Zhou Wang's serious exploitation. Zhou Wang used all kinds of cruel punishments to suppress the people. Whenever the princes betrayed him or the people opposed him, he arrested people and burned them to death on red-hot copper pillars. This is the so-called "branding" punishment.

Zhou's brutal behavior accelerated the demise of Shang Dynasty. At this time, a tribe in the west is thriving. This is Zhou.

Zhouben is an ancient tribe. At the end of Xia Dynasty, this tribe was active in Shaanxi and Gansu. Later, due to the intrusion of nomadic tribes such as Rong and Di, Gu Gongfu, the leader of the Zhou tribe, led the Zhou people to settle in the lower plain of Qishan (now the northeast of Qishan County, Shaanxi Province).
