After King Xuan of Zhou died, his son Ji Gongne (吉宫涅), King Yu of Zhou, took the throne. King Yu of Zhou didn't care about state affairs, he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and sent people around to look for beautiful women. A minister named Baogao (褒珦) advised King Yu, but King Yu not only didn't listen to him, but also put Baogao in prison.
The king was imprisoned for three years. The people of the Berg family did everything they could to get Berg out. They bought a pretty girl in the countryside, taught her to sing and dance, dressed her up, and offered her to the king of Yu to atone for the sins of Berg Liang. This girl was a member of the Baosi family and was called Baosi. The king of You was so happy to have Baosi that he released Baosi. He favored Bergsie very much, but since Bergsie entered the palace, she was in a sullen mood and did not smile once. King You tried his best to tell her to smile, but she could not.
King Yu of Zhou made a reward: whoever could make the Queen Consort smile, he would be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.
There was an ass-kisser named Guo (虢) Shifu (虢) who came up with a sneaky idea for King Yu of Zhou. In order to protect himself against the attacks of the Injuns, the Zhou Dynasty built more than 20 beacon towers around Mount Li (southeast of LinTong in present-day Shaanxi Province), one for every few miles of land. If the Injuns attacked, the soldiers guarding the first pass would set fire to the beacons; the soldiers at the second pass would also set fire to the beacons when they saw the smoke and fire. When the soldiers of the second pass saw the smoke and fire, they also burned the beacon fire. When the nearby lords saw the beacon fire, they would send their troops to come to the rescue. Guo Shi Fu said to King Yu of Zhou, "Now that the world is at peace, the beacon has not been used for a long time. I would like to ask the king to go up to Mount Li with the queen for a few days. At night, let's light up the beacon fire, so that the nearby lords will see it and come to take advantage of it. The Empress will laugh when she sees these many soldiers and horses pouncing."
King Yu of Zhou clapped his hands and said, "Excellent, let's do it!"
They went up to Mount Li and really set the beacon fire on Mount Li. When the neighboring lords got this alarm, they thought that the Injun Rong had come over and quickly led their troops to rescue them. But when they got there, there wasn't even a single soldier from the Injun army, and all they heard was the sound of music and singing on the mountain, and they were all flabbergasted.
King Yu sent someone to tell them that they had worked very hard and that there was nothing wrong here, but that the king and his wife were just playing with fireworks, so you
Go back to your homes!
The lords knew they had been tricked, and went back.
Baosi didn't know what the hell they were up to, and when she saw several lines of soldiers and horses coming from the foot of Mount Li in a chaotic manner, she asked King You what was going on. King You told her everything. Baosi really laughed a little.
When King You saw that Baosi had smiled, he rewarded Guo Shi Fu with a thousand taels of gold.
King You doted on Bergsi-Si, and later simply abolished the queen and the crown prince, made Bergsi-Si the queen, and made Bergsi-Si's son, Bo Sui, the crown prince. When the queen's father, a vassal of the state of Shen, got the news, he linked up with the Injun to attack Haojing.
When King Yu heard the news of Inu Rong's attack, he panicked and ordered the beacons on Mount Li to be lit. The fire was lit, but the lords did not pay any attention to them because they had been fooled last time.
Smoke billowed from the beacon in the daytime and flames burned at night, but no one came to their rescue.
When the Injun soldiers arrived, Haojing had few soldiers and horses, so they barely resisted for a while, and were beaten by the Injun soldiers. The men and horses of the Injuns came into the city like a tidal wave, and killed King Yu of Zhou, Guo Shifu, and Boshi, who was born to Bergs. That Bergsie, who did not open her smile, was also snatched away.
By this time, the lords knew that the Injun had really struck into Haojing, so they united and came to the rescue with a large army. When the leader of the Injun Rong saw that the army of the vassals had arrived, he ordered his men to loot all the precious possessions that the Zhou Dynasty had amassed over many years, and set fire to them before retreating.
The lords of the Central Plains repelled the Inu Rong and installed the original prince Ji Yishu as the son of heaven, King Ping of Zhou. The lords also returned to their respective fiefdoms.
What he didn't realize was that as soon as the vassals left, the Injun came back and took over most of the western part of the Zhou Dynasty. King Ping was afraid that Haojing could not be preserved, so he made up his mind to move the capital to Luoyi.
In 770 BC, King Ping moved the capital to Luoyi. Because Haojing was in the west and Luoyi was in the east, history refers to the z period when the Zhou Dynasty had its capital at Haojing as the Western Zhou, and the period after the capital was moved to Luoyi as the Eastern Zhou.
The goose carries letters
2,500 years ago, our ancestors began to domesticate carrier pigeons. In the war between Western Xia and Northern Song, the Western Xia army used carrier pigeons for military communication.
At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, general Qu Duan also used carrier pigeons in his army to send messages to rally the troops. In ancient times, pigeons were called "flying pigeons". Legend has it that when Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Dynasty, was surrounded by Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, he used carrier pigeons to send a message to attract reinforcements to get out of danger. When Zhang Qian and Ban Chao traveled to the West, they also used pigeons to transmit information to the royal family. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Foshan area in Guangdong Province of China held pigeon releases in May and June every year, with thousands of pigeons participating every year, and the distance of the race was about 400 miles. At that time in Shanghai, Beijing and other places, there are similar pigeon racing. Foreign use of pigeons to transmit news of the earliest written records, seen in 530 BC, when the use of pigeons to transmit the results of the Olympic Games.
The goose is the name of the letter, sometimes also referred to as the letter carrier. Why "wild geese" as a substitute for letters and letter carriers? The first time I saw this is when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley. Chang Hui, who traveled with Su Wu to the Xiongnu, informed the Han envoy of Su Wu's situation and designed the envoy to tell Shan Yu that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had shot a wild goose during a hunting trip, and there was a letter tied to the foot of the wild goose, which told him that Su Wu had been herding sheep in a certain swampy area. After hearing this, Shan Yu had no choice but to let Su Wu return to Han. Later, people used the goose as a metaphor for the letter and the person who delivers the letter.
This is the legend of "the geese passing on letters".
Kite communication
The legend says that as early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Lu State craftsman Gongbopan (i.e., Luban) had modeled after the shape of the bird, "chipping bamboo and wood as a magpie, into the flight, three days not", this bamboo and wood as the material made of the "wooden magpie", is the kite, and it is the most important thing for the people. This kind of flying "wooden magpie" made of bamboo and wood is the predecessor of kite. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun invented papermaking, and people used bamboo gabions to make a frame, and then used paper to paste it, which became the "paper kite". In the Five Dynasties, when people made paper kites, they attached a bamboo whistle to them, and when the wind blew the bamboo whistle, the sound was like the sound of a kite, and the word "kite" came from it.
Originally, kites were made for military needs, and their main purpose was to be used for military reconnaissance, or to transmit information and military intelligence. It was only after the Tang Dynasty that kites gradually became an entertaining toy and were spread among the people.
Examples of military utilization of kites are recorded in history books. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, when Liu Bang besieged Xiang Yu in Gaixia, Han Xin suggested to King Liu Bang to use silk, bamboo and wood to make a large kite with bamboo whistles on it, and put it over the Chu camp in the evening to make a whimpering sound, while the Han army sang the Chu song on the ground, triggering homesickness among the Chu army, which disintegrated the morale of the Chu army, and won the victory of the war
Transmission of letters through bamboo tubes
In the history of China, there is also the use of bamboo tubes to transmit letters to the people, which has become a kind of entertainment toy and has been spread to the people.
In the history of China, there is also the story of the bamboo tube to pass the book. The story of the bamboo tube, from the Sui Wen Di Kai Huang eleven years (590 years), that year in November, the south of the rebellion, in order to pacify the rebellion, stabilize the country, the Sui Wen Di urgent edict, appointed Yang Su for the marching chief, led the army to go to the crusade.
Yang Su led the navy across the river into the south of the Yangtze River, and won several battles, recovered Jingkou, Wuxi and other places, the morale is very strong. So, Yang Su made a big effort to lead the main force to track down the rebels and chased them all the way to the sea. In the face of the mountains and the sea, Yang Su ordered the troops to stay in place, and assigned Shi Huanwang, the military governor, to lead an army of 2,000 men to attack behind the rebels over the mountains and across the mountains.
Shi Huanli led his troops into the battlefield and fought in the mountains, forests, and streams, winning many battles and recovering a large part of the lost territory. When he wanted to report the victory to his superiors, but because of the blockage of transportation and information is not smooth and can not get in touch with the army. One day, he stood at the top of the mountain and looked into the wind, saw the dense bamboo forest in front of him was wavy and dancing with the wind, suddenly had a realization, and immediately sent someone to cut off a section of bamboo, and put the written report of the battle into it, sealed it and put it into the water, and let it float down the river. A few days later, a water-carrying villager saw the bamboo tube, salvaged it and opened it, found the report Shi Wan Wan sealed inside, and sent it to Yang Su according to the hints on the report. Shi Huan Wang no news, do not know the life and death of this Yang Su is anxious and uneasy, suddenly saw the townspeople to send the report, overjoyed, and immediately Shi Huan Wang troops successive victories in the war reported to the court. When Emperor Wen heard the good news, he was so pleased that he immediately promoted Shi Banliang to be the left general of the army. Then, Yang Su led a large force, continued to pursue the anti-Sui scattered soldiers, did not take long, completely pacified the rebellion. Answer by: 安安555运气123 | Grade 4 | 2011-4-25 20:15
