Is da ji really the cause of the demise of Shang and Zhou Dynasties?

Shenpu blamed da ji, the beloved princess of Shang Zhouwang and the incarnation of the nine-tailed fox, for the downfall of Shang Dynasty. Because of molesting Nu Wa Empress, Nu Wa sent da ji to be confused, which made him a fatuous emperor and caused chaos in the country, and was finally destroyed by Zhou. Because of the popularity of TV series, many people think that Shang and Zhou Dynasties were destroyed by da ji. Da ji has long been described as a banshee by later generations, but was the demise of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties really destroyed by a beautiful woman? This is to look down on Zhou Wang!

Later generations were deeply impressed by Zhou Wang's fatuity, but in fact, early Zhou Wang was a very resourceful and wise man, who was able to quell the rebellion in the face of the chaotic Shang Dynasty. "I am talented, articulate, quick-witted, receptive and powerful, and I can beat wild animals with my bare hands." After Zhou Wang acceded to the throne, he made the capital sing and attach importance to military affairs. As early as his father's generation, the Shang Dynasty was already in a weak stage.

When Zhou Wang succeeded to the throne, there was a rebellion in Dongyi area. He decisively sent troops to attack Dongyi to suppress the rebellion. Later, he continued to attack, expanding China's territorial power to the Jianghuai area and the coastal areas of Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. The greatest achievement of his life lies in expanding the territory of Shang Dynasty, and the greatest failure of his life lies in this. Attack all the way, laid a lot of territory, but Shang Zhou didn't digest. When attacking, the territory laid will be rebelled. Shang Zhouwang is not only good at martial arts, but also good at pleasure. The rebellion under his leadership seems doomed. This time, Shang Zhou didn't think about how to gather people's hearts and minds, but also slaughtered loyal subjects. Bigan was killed, Ji Zi was imprisoned and Wei Zi escaped. Zhou Wuwang seized the opportunity.

The Shang army's expedition to Dongyi, the collapse of Zhou Wang's ruling group, and empty singing of praises are the best time to attack. Zhou Wuwang led the army to attack, sweeping all the way, and the blade pointed at Song. Zhou Wang heard Zhou Wuwang's army attack and quickly withdrew an army. This army consists of prisoners of war and slaves. These people hate Zhou Wang, how can they work for Zhou Wang? After confronting Zhou Jun, the temporary army defected overnight, and Zhou Jun came to Chao Ge almost effortlessly. Seeing this, Zhou Wang dressed up, took his own Baoyu, boarded the deer platform, and set himself on fire and died.

If the regular army of Shang Dynasty had not made an expedition to Dongyi, could Zhou Jun have won Chao Ge so easily and forced Zhou Wang to die? Of course not. So the main reason for Zhou Wang's demise is not da ji, but his ambition!
