As an emperor, Zhou Liwang was the son of heaven. Why did he run away in a hurry? What about his imperial imperial imperial army? What about the police officer who kept him safe?
In fact, when the people of China surrounded the city, Zhou Liwang was not a fool. He also knew how to defend himself and ordered the transfer of troops. But after he gave the order, the person in charge of the execution replied that he said this: "We China people have soldiers, China people are soldiers, and soldiers are China people. People in China are rioting. Who do you want me to mobilize? " Zhou Liwang had no choice but to run for his life.
who the hell are all these people？
Let's first look at the social class in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Let's take a look at the military service system at that time.
The Zhou Dynasty implemented the conscription system. The "pro-soldiers" of the emperor or prince, that is, the "guards", are called "warriors". Their main task is to protect the safety of the emperor and prince. They are elite troops and generally serve as the vanguard in wartime. These soldiers were recruited from the "royal family" or "public family". The governor can also have his own Qin Bing.
The main force of the army is to defend the country and crusade against foreign countries. Mainly composed of "soldiers" and "apprentices". Soldiers are mainly recruited from China and Shu Ren. China people and Shu Ren people mainly refer to the "scholar" and "civilian" classes in the above picture, excluding slaves.
Comrades serving in the army, that is, handyman. Specializing in dirty work and rough work, such as raising horses, cooking and transporting logistics materials. This part of the army is mainly collected from humble occupations such as officials, slaves, herders and grooms.
So the problem came out. At that time, when Zhou Liwang gave the order, it should be the "samurai" general who was responsible for the execution. They should belong to the royal family and the public family, and they are the children of the nobility. The equipment and training of the samurai army are different from those of the general army. In Zhou Wuwang, 300 chariots opened the way, followed by an army of 3,000 warriors, which was defeated by the so-called 700,000 Zhou Wang troops. In addition to popular support, the equipment advantage of the samurai army at that time was also the main reason.
Therefore, through the analysis, it can be concluded that the uprising of China people in Zhou Liwang period was based on the former Taiwanese people. In fact, all classes were opposed to Zhou Liwang, and it is very likely that the nobles instigated or even participated in a riot behind the scenes. Because the samurai army and generals, mainly composed of the royal family and the male family, refused to come forward to protect Zhou Liwang. The connivance of elite troops to Chinese riots is essentially support.
Look back at the historical background of the Chinese riots at this time.
Primitive society was public ownership, and slave society began to enfeoffment. Those arable land and grassland can grow food and graze livestock, so they are fenced off. At first, it was temporary, and later it became a long-term and hereditary replacement. However, forests, some natural pastures, swamps, rivers and so on. Still in the open. During the reign of Zhou Liwang, a large amount of land was privatized, and slave owners and nobles owned a large number of fertile and fertile fields, and kept taking mountains, rivers, forests and other resources as their own. This makes the land actually controlled by the Zhou royal family smaller and smaller. Some vassal states openly rebelled against Zhou Wang's orders. In fact, Zhou Liwang was an emperor who made great achievements. He conquered Huaiyi in the south, Yan Yi in the north and stayed in the east. He rebelled everywhere and struggled for many years to safeguard the ruling regime of the country, which was very hard.
There are constant wars and huge military expenditures. This is the fundamental reason for hiring Rong to search for the people's fat and paste for him. Zhou Liwang not only promulgated the "patent" policy to nationalize mountains, rivers, forests, fishing and hunting, but also carried out a series of reforms, such as reforming male and female servants, homestead, punishment and land system. Mainly by confiscating big noble's private property and spitting out public property to increase the income of the Zhou royal family to maintain military expenditure. Because it touched the interests of the nobles, the nobles opposed Zhou Liwang's reform, and the contradiction became increasingly fierce. The controlled aristocrats increased the exploitation of grassroots civilians, and the lives of grassroots people became more difficult. I could have made some wild things from mountains and rivers to supplement my food. The "patent" law plundered the resources that "China people" depended on for survival, and aroused the hatred of the ordinary class towards Zhou Liwang.
From this, we can see why the princes of the "Chinese riots" did not have a loyal monarch, but they all wanted to be kings. If they wanted Zhou Wang to step down early, why did they come to him? Why didn't the samurai group composed of royal nobles protect Zhou Liwang? Their aristocratic property was confiscated and their original good life was controlled. They hate Zhou Liwang in their hearts, so they also hope that he will step down as soon as possible. As for the China class, because it was strangled, it directly killed Zhou Liwang. Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhou Liwang will eventually run away, beg for a living, and eventually starve to death.
