I was a priest in the city-state era

Haiyang City.

Precious materials, including salt, ironware, and spices, which are as valuable as gold, are being transported from the sea to the port of Haiyang City, and then transferred to Yangzhou and Yuzhou ruled by the Athenian Empire.

These materials not only became the military pay for Roy to recruit and support soldiers locally, but also quickly improved the lives of local people, allowing the Athenian Empire to gain the support of the people of Yangzhou and Yuzhou in the shortest time.

After all, everything is afraid of comparison.

Compared with the original period of rule by princes and nobles, the people of Yangzhou and Yuzhou have no reason not to support the Athenian Empire.

Seeing that under the rule of the Athenian Empire, the civilians in Yangzhou and Yuzhou have a quality of life that is not inferior to that of the nobles or even small princes, some princes and nobles in Jingzhou and Liangzhou are even willing to voluntarily give up their status and power in exchange for their people to enjoy the same treatment.

Roy, of course, accepts all the princes and nobles who voluntarily give up their status and power.

And in order to buy horse bones for thousands of gold, Roy also arranged for them to become merchants so that they can continue to enjoy a life without worries about food and clothing.

1594 BC.

August.

In addition to Yangzhou and Yuzhou, half of Jingzhou and Liangzhou also became the territory of the Athenian Empire.

The Athenian Empire recruited more than 10,000 soldiers in Yuzhou.

After handing over 6,000 soldiers to Xia E and letting Xia E conquer the Dongyi tribes in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, Roy led 4,000 troops to Yongzhou, ready to conquer the Rongdi tribe and make Tianhuangshi·Yuanshi Tianwang [Yuanshi Tianzun·Haotian] completely disappear from Kyushu.

Archaeological discoveries in another world show that agricultural civilization had a great development in the Xia Dynasty.

The production tools unearthed from the Erlitou cultural site were mainly stone tools used by the Xia Dynasty people, and bone and horn tools and clam tools were still in use. There were traces of digging soil with wooden plows on the walls of some house foundations, ash pits and tombs.

As the center of Kyushu, the Xia Kingdom did not fully enter the Bronze Age.

At this time, the backward Yongzhou Rongdi were naturally at the level of the Neolithic Age. The weapons used by tribal soldiers were mainly stone and wood, and only the princes and nobles used bronze weapons.

Roy led the Athenian soldiers using iron weapons to attack the Rongdi tribe in Yongzhou. The outcome of the war was doomed before it even started.

The only problem was how to assimilate the Rongdi.

Unlike the southern barbarians and the Dongyi people who entered the agricultural civilization, the northwestern Rongdi were still backward nomadic tribes.

How to transform the Rongdi tribe from a nomadic people to an agricultural people was the first problem that Roy had to face.

Qishan in Yongzhou.

Qishan was called Xiqi in ancient times. It was the remnant of Qianshan Mountain. It was the place where Emperor Yan lived and the Zhou Dynasty was founded.

[Guoyu·Zhouyu] records that when Zhou was rising, the phoenix sang in Qishan.

The Zhou tribe was an ancient tribe living in the area of ​​the present-day Loess Plateau and the Wei River Basin. It is said that they got their surname Ji because of [Jishui].

Six hundred years later, Ji Zhou became the common ruler of the world, and the Ji surname became the largest surname in the world, and the Five Emperors followed suit and changed their surnames to Ji.

For example, Huangdi Gongsun Xuanyuan's original surname was Gongsun, but because Ji Zhou won the world, Huangdi became Ji Xuanyuan.

For example, Di Jun, as the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty, should have the same surname as the royal family of the Shang Dynasty, but he changed his surname to Ji Jun of Ji Zhou like Huangdi.

From the Five Emperors Taihao, Yan Emperor, Huangdi, Shaohao, and Zhuanxu in [Lüshi Chunqiu], only Taihao and Yan Emperor did not change their surnames to Ji.

This is because Taihao and Yan Emperor are not only listed among the Five Emperors, but also Tianhuang, Yuanshi Tianwang, Haotian, and Shennong among the Three Emperors.

Of course, there are also versions in which the Three Emperors were changed to Ji.

For example, Suiren was changed to Ji, and his name was Ji Sui.

Fuxi was also changed to Ji, and his name was Xi.

Yan Emperor was also changed to Ji, and his name was Nian.

Seeing that most of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were surnamed Ji, some people believe that from ancient times until King Wu of Zhou divided the princes and re-demarcated the surnames, except for a few women, all those who ruled the world were surnamed Ji.

In fact, this is a typical case of taking the result as the cause.

It was because the Ji Zhou Dynasty dominated the Nine Provinces that the surnames of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were changed.

Taihao in [Lüshi Chunqiu] is both the first of the Three Sovereigns, the Tianhuang clan, and the first of the Five Emperors, Taihao, because this Tianhuang clan, Yuanshi Tianwang, Haotian Shangdi is the god worshipped by the Ji Zhou and Rongdi tribes.

Yandi is the second of the Three Sovereigns, the Dihuang clan, and the second of the Five Emperors, because Yandi's tribe is not a Rongdi tribe.

[Luoshu Lingzhunting] records that the Dihuang, eleven kings, all have female faces, dragon foreheads, horse legs, and snake bodies.

[Shuowen] - Man: Southern Barbarians, snake species.

Also said - Min: Southeast Yue, snake species.

Shangbo Jian [Rongcheng clan] - Yu then began to use flags to distinguish between the left and right, thinking that the people's mothers were confused. The flag of the east is the sun, the flag of the west is the moon, the flag of the south is the snake, the flag of the center is the bear, and the flag of the north is the bird.

The Yan Emperor tribe existed in the Neolithic Age - 5000 BC to 3000 BC.

The Yan Emperor tribe was active at the junction of Yuzhou and Yongzhou. Perhaps it was the Yan Emperor tribe that taught the advanced technology including fire making to the Rongdi tribe.

The eleven kings of the Dihuang clan all had female faces, indicating that the Yan Emperor tribe was a matriarchal clan.

The Dihuang clan had a dragon forehead, a horse's head, and a snake body - because the Yan Emperor tribe worshipped the goddess of the earth.

The Nanman and the Southeast Yue were both snake species, which means that Liangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou south of the Yangtze River all worshipped the goddess of the earth.

The flag of the east has the sun as a totem because the Dongyi tribe worshipped the sun god.

The flag of the north has a bird as a totem. This bird may be the black bird Jinwu symbolizing the sun god Dijun, or it may be the symbol of the emperor Taihao Yuanshi Tianwang.

The flag of the South has a snake as its totem, and this snake is naturally the goddess of the earth that rules the south.

The flag of the West has the moon as its totem, which is a little difficult to interpret.

In the myth of Chang'e flying to the moon, Chang'e took the immortality medicine of the Queen Mother of the West and became the moon god.

This western moon may be the earth goddess of the southwest and the god of the moon, or it may symbolize the emperor Taihao·Yuanshi Tianwang.

The flag of Zhongzheng has a bear as its totem, which symbolizes the common lord of the world.

Because Youxiongshi is the title of the Yellow Emperor's tribe.

Roy came to Qishan with 4,000 troops, and finally encountered the 10,000 coalition forces of the Rongdi tribe on the plain north of Qishan.

Although the Rongdi coalition has an advantage in numbers, the advantage of two or three times the number obviously cannot make up for the gap in strength between the stone army and the iron army.

Therefore, the god of the Rongdi tribe, Yuanshi Tianwang·Tianhuang Taihao, the patron saint of the sky, descended on the battlefield before the two armies fought.

In another world, Yuanshi Tianwang and Tianhuang Taihao are undoubtedly the supreme gods.

Tianhuang Taihao is Haotian God.

His title first appeared in the Shang Dynasty, and the title of [Haotian God] officially appeared in the Zhou Dynasty.

Surrounded by the sun, moon, stars, wind and rain, thunder and lightning as messengers, and assisted by the five gods.

The emperor of the Shang Dynasty was the sun god Dijun, who used the power of the sun to dominate all living things, gods of heaven and earth.

In order to defeat the Shang Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty made Haotian God the [sky] that governs the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

In the myths made up by Taoism, before the chaos was opened, there was the essence of heaven and earth, named Yuanshi Tianwang, who roamed in it.

Later, the two instruments were separated, and Yuanshi Tianwang lived above the center of the sky, absorbing the weather from the sky and drinking the springs from the ground.

Xuandu Yujing Qibao Mountain, above Daluo, has three palaces: upper, middle and lower.

The upper palace is ruled by Pangu Zhenren Yuanshi Tianwang and Taiyuan Shengmu.

Yuanshi Tianwang is Pangu, the creator of the universe.

During the Southern Dynasties, Yuanshi Tianwang was given the title of Yuanshi Tianzun.
