Three prison riots in the history of the early Zhou Dynasty

After Zhou Wuwang captured the capital Chao Ge, Zhou Wang was forced to commit suicide, and the history of the Shang Dynasty ended, but the slave owners of the Shang Dynasty still maintained strong strength. In order to strengthen the control of the Yin people and consolidate the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains, Wu Geng, the son of the seal, was named as the capital, and the Shang Dynasty was divided into Wei, Ti and Gao, which were governed by their brothers Cai Shu and Huo Shu respectively, and supervised Wu Geng, which were collectively called the Three Supervisors. In prison, it is generally believed that the area north of Shangdu is Li; The area south of Shangdu is a province; There are guards on the east side of shangdu.

Wu Wang died soon after he ruined the business, and the Duke of Zhou was the Regent. Guan Shu wanted to fight for power and gain, so he made a rumor that "the Duke of Zhou was not good to courtiers". In the third year of Yin Dynasty, Cai Shu encouraged Wu Genglu's father to fight against Zhou Dynasty. Correspondingly, there are dozens of countries in the East, such as Xu and Yi, which are closely related to Shang Dynasty. This is an extremely heavy blow to the Zhou Dynasty, which has just been established for more than three years. If the rebellion is not overcome, the Zhou Dynasty will face great difficulties, and the achievements made by Zhou Wenwang after decades of bleak management will be destroyed.

There was a royal chaos in Zhou Dynasty. Some people in the royal family doubted whether Duke Zhou was the king. This situation of internal and external attack put Duke Zhou in a very difficult position. First of all, he stabilized the internal affairs, maintained unity, and persuaded Taigong and Zhao Gong to have fun. He said: "The reason why I don't avoid disasters is because I am afraid that everyone in the world will betray the Zhou Dynasty. Otherwise, I will have no face to repay Wang Tai, Wang Ji and Wang Wen. Wang has been worried about the world for a long time, but now they have achieved something. Wu Wang left us prematurely, while Wang Cheng was still young. I did this to achieve the Zhou Dynasty. " After Zhou unified internal opinions, he organized a crusade against Guan, Cai and Wu Geng in the following year. Divination is carried out in advance and announced in the jubilee.

After three years' efforts, the Three Sword Uprising was successfully defeated in BC 1022, and the eastern countries were conquered. Wu Geng, the first evil head who fled to the north, was killed, and the innocent Cai Shu was exiled. After Cai Shu's death, his son Hu "cultivated goodness with virtue", which was quite different from his father. Hearing this, the Duke of Zhou named him a scholar of Lu, and Hu managed Lu well. Hu is also known as Xincai.

The Duke of Zhou pleaded with Cai Ping, advanced eastward, wiped out more than 50 countries, and killed Fei Lian by rushing to the seaside. Since this week, the influence has spread to the seaside.

After the chaos of three prisons, the rulers in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty realized the importance of feudal relatives and officials more deeply. On the basis of Wu Wang's enfeoffment, Duke Zhou and Wang Cheng enfeoffed governors on a large scale again. According to legend, Zhou Gong is divided into 7 1 countries, of which 53 countries are descendants of Ji surname, all of whom are descendants of Wen and Zhou Gong. For example, Wang Wen's brother was sealed in Wudong and Xiwu, and Wang Wen's son was sealed in Han, Jin, England and Han; His sons are Fan, Jiang, Xing, Mao, Cha and Cai.

The adherents of Feng and Yin originally belonged to Wu Geng and were divided into two parts. One of them was Qi Ge Wei, who surrendered for several weeks after ruining his business and did not take part in the rebellion. So he was sealed in the titles of Shangqiu and Song. The other half was given to Uncle Kang Cheng. Champion guard. In addition, some nobles with different surnames were also banned by Duke Zhou and Wang Cheng. These two enfeoffments not only consolidated the rule of Zhou people in the vast area of Shang Dynasty, but also expanded their own power and influence, making Zhou a powerful country with national strength and territory far exceeding that of Shang Dynasty.
