In the battle of Makino, there was the Sichuan Army.

The legend of the battle between King Wu and Makino has long been known. Today, let's talk about a humble vassal in the battle of Makino-Chuan Jun!

As we all know, in modern history, the reputation of the Sichuan Army is very great, especially the contribution of the Sichuan Army in World War II has been moving so far, but little known is that as early as 3000 years ago, the Sichuan Army has now entered the historical stage and participated in the battle of King Wu attacking merchants' Konoha, leaving a rich and colorful stroke. Sichuan troops participated in the attack of King Wu, which brought a question: Were these Sichuan troops sent by the subtle Sanxingdui civilization?

Zhou was originally a small vassal state in the west of Shang dynasty, but from Gu's father, Zhou people initially made a plan to "cut merchants". Later, through the efforts of Harmony, especially after 50 years in office, many correct policies were implemented, and talents such as Jiang Ziya were employed. As a result, the national strength gradually became stronger, and the Xidi city was conquered, and the home front was settled. Finally, after the death of King Wen, the final battle to destroy the business was launched.

About 1048 years ago, in order to inquire about the possibility of cutting merchants, Zhou Wuwang made an alliance with the princes of Jin Meng, Henan. "Zhou Wuwang's eastward expedition to Jin Meng, and the vassals set out for Huizhou in 800 Li". The so-called eight hundred princes are just an imaginary number, which shows that many princes rebelled against the Shang Dynasty and returned to the Zhou Dynasty, further comparing the manipulation and unpopularity of the Shang Dynasty.

Two years later, these eight hundred governors took part in the battle of Makino, and under the guidance of Zhou people, they destroyed the business in World War I. So, what exactly are these eight hundred governors? According to the Book of History, there are eight very important firsts, namely, "Yong, Shu, Qiang, Wei, Xun, Lu, Peng and Bo are barbarians", and the second is "Shu", which is today's Sichuan. It can be seen that the "Sichuan Army" was established as early as 3000 years ago.

How did the famous Sichuan army fight in the battle of Makino three thousand years ago? As for the detailed process of Makino War, the history books hardly cover it. For example, in Yi, the sentence "Wang vowed to overtake the business department with warriors and cars, and the business normal university will collapse" made no mention of the detailed process of Zhou Jun's war, so naturally he would not deliberately describe the war means of Zhou's vassal States.

However, modern scholars have found some clues according to the abnormal record of "King Wu attacked Zhou and danced before Song Dynasty". As we all know, the conquest week is a very severe and cruel war. How can there be a happy dance before the song? Moreover, there was no tradition of enjoying war in Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It's already like this. Where does the "King Wu chop first and then dance" come from? There are two important lines left in the history books.

1 year, during the hegemony between Chu and Han, Liu Bang Group recruited a group of Pakistani soldiers who were "forwards for Han". These Pakistani soldiers were "full of energy and danced" and were also appreciated by Liu Bang. "Eight Records of Huayang National Records" in Changqu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty records: "There is Chongqing water in Langzhong, and many people live in the water, which naturally produces courage. The Han striker is sleepy and eager to dance."

2. "Huayang Guozhi Bazhi" records: "Zhou Wuwang cut India, which was actually the teacher of Bashu ... Bashi was brave and sharp, singing and dancing with Ling (meaning aggression, aggression), and his former disciple rebelled."

Therefore, the "Sichuan Army" took the lead, singing and dancing, essentially creating a horrible atmosphere that shocked the enemy, full of primitive wildness. Ningsheng Wang, a historian, pointed out in the textual research of "Song before Dance" that Jingpo people in Dehong area of Yunnan and Yi people in Liangshan area of Sichuan still had the custom of "singing and dancing as the spirit" before the war.

Of course, there is no 100% conclusion about whether "singing before singing and dancing after attacking Zhou" is a Sichuan army, but it is the most credible explanation at present.

In the 1920s, in Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, archaeologists discovered Sanxingdui Site, which unveiled the subtle veil of the ancient Shu State and shocked China and foreign countries.

At the same time, almost at the same time, a serious archaeological discovery-Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins, scholars sorted out 1 1 Oracle Bone Inscriptions with the word "Shu". In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the phrases "(Shu) shoots 300", "Yu Shu", "Zhi Shu" and "Zheng Shu" indicate that archers and (Zheng Shu) were often used in ancient Shu. It can be seen that as early as 3000 years ago in Shang Dynasty, the ancient Shu kingdom represented by Sanxingdui civilization had certain contact with Chinese civilization.

Here, people have to have a daydream: there is already a Sichuan army attacking King Wu, so is this Sichuan army sent by Sanxingdui civilization?

According to the excavation of Sanxingdui site, scholars roughly defined the activity time of Sanxingdui civilization, that is, from 2800 BC to100 BC and from 4800 to 3 100 years ago. The time of King Wu's attack was determined as BC 1046 by the "Xia Shang Zhou Dating Project". In other words, it has been more than 50 years since the foundation of Sanxingdui civilization disappeared, and it is difficult to relate the two in time. The "Sichuan Army" in the battle of Makino should not be sent by Sanxingdui civilization.

But assuming that this Sichuan army has nothing to do with Sanxingdui civilization, what is the status of "Shu State" in Shangshu Pastoral Pledge? Archaeological discovery of a bronze weapon in the late Shang Dynasty, Triangle Aid Brother, may have revealed the identity of this exquisite Sichuan Army.

Triangle auxiliary bronze Ge, which is quite different from Huaxia bronze Ge, was first unearthed in Yin Ruins in Anyang. So far, 1 1 pieces have been unearthed, and the number of isosceles triangular bronze kudzu is even less. Bronze Ge was an equipment in the military system of Shang Dynasty. Why is there only 1 1 odd triangular bronze ge in Yin Ruins?

Archaeologists have found that bronze godos with triangular assistance are distributed in Shu, which is extremely rare in China. But besides Sichuan, there are also many triangular bronze temples in Hanzhong, Shaanxi. A total of 95 bronzes were found in the Shang Dynasty site in Gusu Village, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, among which 8 1 bronzes with isosceles triangle width and short length were found. Bronze Ge11piece was found in Chengyang area of Hanzhong, among which triangular bronze Ge accounted for about 77%.

It can be seen that the source of the Triangle Aid Bronze Brother is in Sichuan, so it is also called "Shu Ge", which is the primary combat weapon of the Sichuan Army. Through the weapon civilization of Shu people, scholars judge that the early Shu civilization not only existed in Sichuan, but also dispersed to Hanzhong, Shaanxi. That is to say, perhaps a "Shu tribe" expanded to Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, or the local tribe in Hanzhong was assimilated by Shu people, so the Shang and Zhou Dynasties called this tribe "Shu", and the "Shu Ge" in Yin Ruins originated from Shu people paying tribute to Shang Dynasty.

Hanzhong and Guanzhong, although separated by the Qinling Mountains, are very close after all, with the same distance, and the exchanges between the two places are relatively convenient. At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou people conquered the western and southwestern cities, controlled a Sichuan tribe in Hanzhong, and asked these "Shaanxi Sichuan Army" to cut the merchants together. This is a completely possible operation. Ba Zhi, the National Records of Huayang, records that "Zhou Wuwang was indeed the teacher of Bashu", and historians such as Dong Zuobin and Gu Jiegang all think that the "Shu" in Zhou Wenxian is located in Hanzhong area in southern Shaanxi.

Did Sichuanese in Sichuan Basin take part in the attack of King Wu? As for whether Zhou Wuwang conquered Sichuan, there is no historical basis or archaeological proof. Moreover, it is difficult for Zhou Wuwang to conquer Sichuan because of "it is difficult to pass through the Shu Road and it is difficult to go to the sky" and the traffic barrier. In fact, it was not until 3 16 BC that Sima Cuo, the state of Qin, destroyed Shu and then Pakistan, and Sichuan was controlled. The reason why Sichuan was occupied so late is closely related to the topography of Sichuan, so it is unlikely that the "Sichuan Army" in the attack of the King of Wu came from the Sichuan Basin.

To sum up, as early as 3000 years ago, there was indeed a "Shaanxi Sichuan Army" living in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province who participated in the attack of King Wu, but it was not certain whether this "Shaanxi Sichuan Army" was originally from Shaanxi or from Sichuan adherents.

In Zhuyuan National Cemetery in Baoji, Shaanxi Province, many artifacts inextricably linked with Shu civilization were unearthed, which indicated that this should be a vassal state developed by Shu people. Perhaps this Shuren in Baoji, Shaanxi Province is a branch of Shuren recorded in Shangshu Pastoral Oath.
