In 1075 BC, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Xin, came to power, and was later called "King Zhou". Emperor Xin is talented, extremely agile, and powerful. He can fight fierce beasts with his bare hands. He is arrogant and thinks that others are not as good as himself. Emperor Xin loved wine and sex, favored Daji, and obeyed her words. Emperor Xin built the Lutai , piled up many treasures and rare objects, and had fun with Daji all night long.

Emperor Xin

Emperor Xin was very cruel to his subjects who disobeyed or betrayed him, and invented tortures such as "cannon burning". Emperor Xin ordered Ji Chang, Jiuhou, and Ehou to be the three princes. As a result, Emperor Xin killed Jiuhou's daughter in anger because she did not like prostitution, and chopped Jiuhou into meat paste. He was also dissatisfied with Ehou's advice and made Ehou into dried meat. Ji Chang sighed twice and was also imprisoned. Fortunately, Jichang's subordinates quickly prepared beauties, treasures, and fine horses to give to Emperor Xin. Emperor Xin released Jichang, gave him bows, arrows, axes, and axes, and exercised the power of conquest. Emperor Xin appointed a group of villains, the country's government gradually fell into disrepair, and the princes stayed away.

Jichang

The Zhou people lived in the Jishui area in the early days, and later moved to Zhouyuan south of Qishan Mountain. Ji Chang's father Ji Li Shi, Zhou began to become powerful, Ji Li was later killed by the Shang Dynasty. After Ji Li's death, it was Ji Chang who came to the throne. After Ji Chang returned to the Zhou clan , he began to accumulate strength, practice virtue and do good deeds. His power gradually became stronger, and many princes came to join him. When King Wu of Zhou came to the throne, Ji Fa re-employed Jiang Ziya, Zhou Gong, Zhao Gong, Bi Gong, etc. Zhou's power became stronger and his appeal became stronger. The next year, King Wu of Zhou wanted to test the strength of the Shang Dynasty, so he led his troops to Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty. When they arrived at Mengjin, eight hundred princes gathered for an alliance. King Wu of Zhou found that several large princes had not come, and thought that the time was not yet ripe, so he temporarily retreated.

Jiang Ziya

The Shang Dynasty had no time to pay attention to the Zhou Dynasty at this time, and was conquering Dongyi year after year. Although they finally won a great victory, they spent too much and their national power was exhausted. Moreover, Emperor Xin has no moral principles, and loyal people may die or leave. Bigan has his heart ripped out, Jizi is imprisoned, and Weizi lives in seclusion. Emperor Xin has already betrayed his relatives, and the regime only needs the final blow.

BIgan

King Wu of Zhou believed that the time was ripe and great things could be accomplished. In 1046 BC, King Wu of Zhou led an army consisting of 300 chariots, 3,000 warriors, and 45,000 soldiers from Haojing to attack the merchants, and met with the princes at Mengjin. At this time, more princes came, and many kings of Fang Kingdom personally led their troops to attend the meeting. The army of conquering merchants exceeded 50,000. King Wu of Zhou wrote "The Oath of Animal Husbandry", and the morale of the army was high, so King Wu of Zhou led the army to attack Chaoge in a mighty manner. Emperor Xin did not pay attention to it. At this time, the main force of the Shang Dynasty was still in Dongyi. It was not until King Wu of Zhou came to Muye that Emperor Xin temporarily assembled a force of 170,000 to fight. Emperor Xin organized slaves and prisoners of war into forwards as cannon fodder. These people had already hated the Shang Dynasty, so as soon as the two sides came into contact, these people turned against them and killed the Shang army. The Shang army was in chaos. King Wu of Zhou took the opportunity to lead his army to cover up the Shang army. The Shang army was defeated. Emperor Xin was defeated and returned to Lutai, where he set himself on fire. King Wu of Zhou led his troops to Lutai and beheaded Emperor Xin and Daji in public display, making the people dance with joy.

Died of the Shang Dynasty.

Chaoge

After King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he settled in Haojing and established the third slavery dynasty in Chinese history: Zhou Dynasty . King Wu of Zhou named his father Ji Chang as King Wen and enfeoffed the princes. History opened a new page.
