Analysis of the Battle of Makino in Zhou Dynasty

Exploring the Makino War to Promote the Historical Development of China.

In the long history of China, there were many famous battles, which were won under the leadership of excellent generals, which had a very significant impact on the historical development at that time and promoted the historical development. After some wars, it laid the foundation for the establishment of the new dynasty in the later period.

The Battle of Makino, also known as the Battle of King Wu, was a decisive battle between the allied forces of Zhou Wuwang and the army of Shang Dynasty in Mu Ye. At that time, because Shang Zhouwang conquered Lebanon in the northwest first, and then pacified the barbarians in the southeast, although he won the battle, his troops were seriously inadequate, which aggravated the class contradictions. After the final defeat, he set himself on fire and the Shang Dynasty perished.

The battle of Makino ended the 600-year rule of Shang Dynasty and established the rule of Western Zhou Dynasty, which opened the way for the prosperity of ritual and music civilization in Western Zhou Dynasty. The strategies and operational methods displayed in Mu Ye War also had a far-reaching impact on the development of China's ancient military thought.

Shang Dynasty was established after Shang Tang destroyed Xia Zhishi. After more than 600 years of rule, it was already in danger when it was handed over to the 3rd1King Shang Zhouwang. Politically, Shang Zhouwang invested heavily in the construction of Lutai and Rectangular Bridge, and built meat forest in the wine pool, which led to the emptiness of the national treasury. A group of courtiers, such as the beloved princess da ji and concubines, killed the royal etiquette, which led to the rebellion of the courtiers.

Militarily, Shang Zhouwang has been fighting the Yi people in the southeast of China. During this period, although the war was won and many Yi people were captured, the main force of the Shang army went to Dongyi, which led to the emptiness of the defense of the Shang capital and the lack of soldiers to defend.

Zhouyuan is an ancient tribe in the middle reaches of Weihe River, which developed gradually in the superior natural environment. When I arrived in Jichang, I used Lu Shang and other sages. After that, his national strength became stronger and stronger. Ji Chang advocated moral education, actively mediated disputes between countries, and made vassals attach themselves to him. Ji Chang took advantage of the United front, because countries wanted suppliers to attack troops and materials in Dongyi and were suspected by the king, so they had already suffered, and they were happy to move closer to Ji Chang.

BC 1050, Zhou Wenwang Ji Chang died of illness, and his son Ji Fa succeeded to the throne and was named Zhou Wuwang. After King Wu succeeded to the throne, he said that he would inherit the fate of King Wen and continue to take advantage of the opportunity of Shang Dynasty to develop the western region. At this time, there was a great civil strife in the Shang Dynasty. Shang Zhouwang killed his uncle Bi Gan, imprisoned another uncle, and some implicated nobles defected to Zhou Guo.

King Wu got a lot of confidential information from the harmonious nobles. Knowing that the time was ripe, King Wu decided to send troops to attack the merchants, and at the same time informed the allied governors to send troops together.

On October 26th, 65438 BC+65438 BC+65438 BC/KLOC-0, Zhou Wuwang personally led 300 chariots, 3,000 warriors and tens of thousands of infantry to send troops to the East. On February 2 1 of the same year, our troops arrived and joined the tribes of Yong, Shu, Qiang, Lu, Peng, Pu, Wei and Xun, and monarchs from many other countries also came in person. However, the formation of the commercial army that came to intercept gradually revealed its outline.

Soldiers with high morale were frightened when they saw the Shang army. The army of Shang dynasty is endless, and it is impossible to judge the specific number, but it is far more than the allied forces of Zhou dynasty. The morale of the allied forces suddenly became somewhat low.

In Chao Ge City, just after getting this information, the allies arrived and were caught off guard. There are not enough elite soldiers in the city to resist the enemy, and there are no chariots to use. It is difficult to compete with the chariot array by infantry alone, not to mention Zhou Dajun's morale is sharp. Shang Zhouwang was shocked and quickly armed a large number of slaves and prisoners of war. Go to Konoha to fight with the troops of Zhenguo.

Because there was no way to fight, coupled with years of fatuity and unpopularity, only a few imperial soldiers were his confidants, which led to the final failure of the battle. The Battle of Makino is a famous pre-emptive war in the history of China, in which the few win the many and the weak win the strong. The 600-year-old Shang Dynasty ended, and the Western Zhou Dynasty was established, which promoted the development of China's history.
