199. Revenge from human sacrifice
Jiang Midang led the Qiang people straight to Xiqi.
Xiqi is the richest place in the west, and he knows very well that Xibohou is imprisoned, Boyikao, Taisi are all in Chaoge, and there is no one in charge in Xiqi.
This is Xiqi's weakest moment!
"Your Majesty, do we really want to fight Xiqi?"
Erhe felt a little sorry, and the other Qiang people were also a little embarrassed.
The ancestor of the Zhou clan was Hou Ji, who gave birth to the Zhou clan. Hou Ji's mother was named Jiang Yuan. Legend has it that she stepped on the footprints of a giant in the wilderness and became pregnant and gave birth to Hou Ji.
Jiang Tongqiang and Jiang Yuan are actually Qiang people.
It was only later that when the Zhou people formed a tribe, they gave themselves the surname "Ji" and called other surrounding tribes the surname "Jiang".
This signifies that the blood relationship between Zhou and Jiang has become estranged and they can intermarry with each other. According to their customs, people with the same surname and clan cannot intermarry.
Our ancestors are our own people!
Jiang Mi shouted loudly: "The Qiang people and the Ji family are of the same lineage, and they resisted the Rong Di together. Ji Dan was cowardly, and because of the intimidation of the Rong Di, he led his people to move from Bindi to Zhouyuan at the foot of Qishan Mountain and took refuge with the merchants!"
All the Qiang people knew this, and it was a good thing done by Grandpa Jichang. He abandoned the Qiang people and took the initiative to invest in business. He became the Xibohou of a great merchant in exchange for a place to live.
Jiang Midang continued: "In Ji's eyes, the Qiang people are sacrifices to please businessmen!"
After Ji Dan led the merchants to join the merchants, his most important responsibility was to provide Qiang people as human sacrifices to the Shang Dynasty.
In the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang Dynasties that have been unearthed, most of the records about human sacrifices have Qiang characters.
Jiang Mi's eyes turned red and he said angrily: "What Ji did is a shameless betrayal of the Qiang people! By hunting the Qiang people, they received generous gifts from merchants. Sharp bronze weapons can help them capture prey, and exquisite clothing can help them
Fight the cold!”
"And we, the Qiang people, our people were hunted and used as human sacrifices for heaven! The Qiang people who lost their allies were allowed to be abused by others! We had to survive in the cracks!"
"Today, we have pasture, cattle and sheep, and we want revenge!"
Jiang Midang gritted his teeth and roared, and even chopped off the horse's head with a knife to vent his anger.
According to traditional marriage customs, the leader of the Ji family should marry a lady surnamed Jiang every generation. Ji Dan’s wife, Taijiang, is from the Qiang people. But starting from Ji Li and Ji Chang, two generations of people married their wives from the east, and they even publicized it.
The virtuous virtues of Taisi and Taiyi showed their desire to be completely independent from the Qiang people!
"King Zhou is a foreigner, yet he abolishes human sacrifice and no longer uses Qiang people for sacrifice!"
"The Ji family has the same roots as us, but they are unwilling to abolish human sacrifice and still use Qiang people to sacrifice!"
"Are you willing to watch your own people being used as sacrifices?!"
"I don't want to!"
"Do you want your people to be bound by ropes, twisted, beheaded, burned, flooded, or buried alive?!"
"I don't want to!"
"Do you want your people to be like hanging cattle and sheep after their internal organs are eviscerated?!"
"I don't want to!"
"Do you want the bones of your people to be thrown into the cold sacrificial pit together with animal bones?!"
"I don't want to!"
Under Jiang Midang's encouragement, the Qiang people became excited.
Because there is not a trace of falsehood in these words, they are all facts that everyone can see.
If the northern tribes had not moved in, the Qiang would have been bullied and reduced to sacrifices because of Ji's departure.
Those used as human sacrifices were not only slaves, but also civilians, not to mention "foreigners"?
"We want revenge!"
"revenge!"
"revenge!"
Revenge and the sound of horse hooves echoed on the ground, and Jiang Mi knew that he had succeeded.
He inspired everyone and gave the Qiang people and even the tribesmen from the north who followed them a common enemy.
External contradictions became the biggest contradiction. As long as Xiqi was successfully plundered, Qiang would truly become a powerful country.
"kill!"
Ji Fa followed the earlier plan of Jian and Shang and publicized King Zhou's cruelty and inhumanity in Xiqi.
For example, the slaves who froze to death in Northern Xinjiang, and the wives and daughters who fainted from crying in Northern Xinjiang were all added to the story by Ji Fa and spread among the people of Xiqi.
so good!
In this way, Ji's popularity among the people in Xiqi became more stable.
Look at that King Zhou, the people of Great Shang all had to build the Great Wall and build roads, how hard it was!
The weather was sunny today. Ji Fa took a break from his busy schedule and played football with his brothers.
It’s good to have more brothers, you can form your own football team.
Just as he scored a goal, the servant from Chaoge came to report.
Ji Fa was a little confused. His engagement was cancelled? His grandmother came back from the dead? His brother dressed as a woman?
What happened in this short month?
It took him a long time to calm down and understand that Shang Qingjun, who was engaged to be married, wrote a divorce letter for him because he was a female doctor. His grandmother, mother, and brother all combined to win the support of Chaoge nobles and ministers. Unfortunately,
In the end, my grandmother became seriously ill and the plan failed.
His brows furrowed deeply, it was not good, his father would probably never come back.
After a while, someone came to report again, and the Qiang army moved south in large numbers and attacked Xiqi.
This time Ji Fa not only frowned, he wanted to twist his head.
Ji Fa could not regain his composure for a long time.
The situation in Xiqi is actually a terrible mess.
He even thought in his mind, could this be retribution?
Ji Xian encouraged Tufang to go south and mess up the merchants. Now the Qiang people are going south to rob Xiqi.
Moreover, Xiqi has no defense at all. Even if the city can be defended with high walls and thick walls, there are still a large number of civilians scattered in the villages!
A large amount of cold sweat broke out on Ji Fa's forehead, and then he said vigorously and resolutely: "Send troops! We must send troops! If we cannot minimize the losses, we are afraid of chaos!"
Ji Fa found Ji Dan and discussed it together. In fact, it was obvious where the problem lay.
Xiqi always thought about Jian Shang and secretly planned to deal with Dashang, but when had he ever been on guard against Dashang?
No!
They have all fallen into a misunderstanding! They are still using the way of thinking of the Shang King in the past to speculate!
I thought that the main enemies of Dashang were Dongyi and Baiyue, and I thought that merchants would not attack Xiqi easily!
But is the current King Zhou such a person?
Are you someone who is willing to suffer hardship?
As everyone knows, King Zhou is different!
They all understood when they heard that the Qiang came under the guise of revenge for the tribesmen who had been treated as human sacrifices.
Abolition of human sacrifice, the creation of terracotta warriors, the construction of the Great Wall, the dispatch of slaves, and the relocation of foreign tribes
This serial scheme has been in effect from the beginning, and they have been plotted without knowing it.
They abolished human sacrifices and sacrificed pottery figurines to identify the loyalty of princes, built the Great Wall, dispatched slaves to plot against princes who disobeyed orders, and finally moved inward to weak foreign tribes, allowing relatively powerful foreign tribes like the Qiang to occupy pastures and thus grow stronger.
Strong foreigners would attack the princes who did not build the Great Wall, and these princes were all duplicitous princes who did not obey King Zhou's instructions and sent slaves!
It's really fucking unlucky. The Shang royal family is obviously the one that uses Qiang people as human sacrifices. Although Xiqi also uses them, they are much less common.
But under the manipulation of King Zhou who was the instigator, successive Shang kings cleared their names one after another, and even the Qiang people completed the transfer of their anger.
The merchants have changed their ways, but the princes still refuse to repent?
Then fight the princes!
Ji Fa's handsome face no longer had the usual demeanor, and even had a hint of ferocity: "Fourth brother, you and Nangong Shi lead the troops to meet your brother!"
The most important thing is that Boyikao and Taisi were on their way back to Xiqi. If they encountered an army of Qiang people,
The consequences could be disastrous!
