Chapter 300 Song Xianggong, Overlord of Parallel Imports... (Subscribe)
"Teacher Chen Fan, hurry to Shangqiu."

"What are you doing in Shangqiu?"

"An ancient capital city from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was discovered here."

"Oh……"

After talking about the Qi Kingdom, Chen Fan rested for a few days.

Chen Fan was thinking about another Spring and Autumn Overlord in the next issue, but Professor Zhou called Chen Fan.

It's just that this made Chen Fan a little strange: "Professor Zhou, what's the situation, aren't you studying history? Why did you go to archaeology again?"

"Well, history compiling and archeology are the same family. Besides, history compiling can't be finished in decades, so I can't just keep doing it. Besides, you are always in charge of history compiling. You have to do it every day. Are you repairing it?"

"It makes sense."

"Come or not."

"Tell me about the specific situation."

"In terms of time, it should be the ancient capital city of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The probability of the Spring and Autumn Period is higher. However, for the time being, we don't know which country this ancient capital city belongs to. No, I just thought of you." .”

"Okay, post the location, I'll go and have a look."

It's been a long time since I went out for activities.

After receiving a call from Professor Zhou, Chen Fan went straight to Shangqiu.

……

"Brothers, it seems that a large tomb has been found in Shangqiu."

"Brother, that's not a big tomb, it's the ruins of the ancient capital city."

"Uh, it's the same anyway, have you seen the news?"

"Now that the Internet is so convenient, once something happens in the country, the whole country knows it. It is said that many experts, scholars, archaeologists, and many friends who watch the excitement have gone to Shangqiu. I thought, I will also go to see it. "

"You also want to watch the fun?"

"No, mainly because it is said that Teacher Chen Fan will also go."

"No way, who said that?"

"I heard that. After all, the only person in China who knows the history of the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States best is Mr. Chen Fan. If there is no Mr. Chen Fan, these archaeologists would probably feel dizzy when they ran."

"That's true. However, if Teacher Chen Fan goes, I'd like to see it too. Anyway, I'm not far from there."

Although this news is not big, because it has just been discovered, there has not been a large-scale report yet.

However, when the news that Mr. Chen Fan would go appeared, it immediately aroused the interest of countless people.

This is not.

After Chen Fan arrived at the destination that Professor Zhou sent, there were already many people around here.

Fortunately, the on-site protection work is not bad, and there should be no problem with safety issues.

"Teacher Chen Fan, you are here."

"Professor Zhou, why are you so excited?"

"It's okay not to be excited, you don't know, these days our group of archaeological teams are all confused."

"Why are you confused?"

"Come, come, I'll take you there."

Following Professor Zhou, Chen Fan came to the center of the ancient capital city.

at this time.

The system dinged and issued a prompt: "Punch in Shangqiu, the capital of the Spring and Autumn and Song Kingdoms, and get the history of the Song and Spring and Autumn and Warring States."

Seeing the system prompt, Chen Fan nodded.

There is no need for Chen Fan to investigate, the system has already told him that this is the capital of the Song Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Teacher Chen Fan."

"Teacher Chen Fan, you are here."

"Teacher Chen Fan."

Seeing Chen Fan coming, all the staff members greeted Chen Fan one after another.

Chen Fan also nodded to everyone: "It seems to be another big discovery, how is it, have you gained anything in the past few days?"

"Mr. Chen Fan, it can be confirmed that this is an ancient capital city in the Spring and Autumn Period. Judging from some unearthed cultural relics, we think it should be the capital of the Song Dynasty. However, there are too few unearthed cultural relics, so we are not sure. Still There's another one, and that's what confuses us the most."

"Which one?"

"Teacher Chen Fan, what do you think?"

"This is?"

Seeing the staff coming over with a pattern, Chen Fan asked.

"This is a sign among our series of unearthed cultural relics, and it should be something like a national totem."

"What's wrong with that?"

"There was no problem at first, but this totem should be from an earlier period, and logically speaking, it shouldn't appear here."

"Hehe, I know why you have such doubts."

Looking at the bird-like totem in front of him, Chen Fan said: "The mysterious bird of destiny came down to give birth to Shang. The name of this totem is Xuanniao. Like the Shang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty used the Xuanniao as its totem."

"Teacher Chen Fan, this doesn't seem right."

"What's wrong?"

"The Spring and Autumn and Warring States period belonged to the Zhou Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty had already wiped out the Shang Dynasty. How could one of his vassal states still be sacrificed to the totem of the previous dynasty?"

"I've actually said this before."

Chen Fan explained: "Although the Zhou Dynasty defeated the Shang Dynasty at that time, it did not completely wipe out all the nobles of the Shang Dynasty. Either it was to protect the living power, or to compromise with some nobles of the Shang Dynasty, or something else. In addition to enfeoffing its own princes, the Zhou Dynasty also enfeoffed some nobles in the Shang Dynasty. For example, King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed Pangeng, the son of King Zhou, in Yin, and asked him to sacrifice to his ancestors in the way of the Shang Dynasty. After the death of King Wu of Zhou, Pangeng launched a rebellion, and was killed by Zhou Ping. Afterwards, the Duke of Zhou named Wei Ziqi, the elder brother of King Zhou, to establish the State of Song in Shangqiu, the old capital of the Shang Dynasty, which is where we are now. At the same time , and let the nobles of the Song Dynasty worship their ancestors in the original way of the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, we can also see the mysterious bird totem of the Shang Dynasty in the capital of the Song Dynasty."

This said, everyone suddenly realized.

"I see."

"Sure enough, it is Teacher Chen Fan. When Teacher Chen Fan comes, there is no problem that cannot be solved."

"top……"

At this time, an interactive live broadcast also came to the archaeological site.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen Fan. If it weren't for you, this question would have stumped us for thousands of years."

"Thousands of years, it's just a matter of looking up more information."

"However, Mr. Chen Fan, there is one more question. Look at this cultural relic, he seems to mention that Song is also one of the Five Uncles of the Spring and Autumn Period."

At this time.

Another staff member took Chen Fan to another bronze vessel with an inscription on it and said.

"Bo Tongba here, Wubo means Wuba."

Chen Fan continued: "Actually, there is no fixed ranking among the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period. The most recognized ones are Duke Huan of Qi, the first hegemon of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Duke Wen of Jin, the second hegemon. Opponents. As for why Song was one of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, there are many reasons."

"The first reason is that Song State is different from ordinary Spring and Autumn vassal states. Song State is an aristocrat from the Shang Dynasty, so strictly speaking, Song State does not completely belong to the Zhou Dynasty, and its status is only under the Zhou Dynasty Emperor. , but completely surpassed other vassal states. Therefore, his status is very high."

"Secondly, it may be that Song State is more benevolent."

Of course.

Speaking of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, countless people in later generations suspect that Song Xiangguo is a parallel importer.

After all, some other princes and overlords, although they can't reach the level of Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin, can dominate one side after all.

But Song Xianggong of the Song State was lucky. First, he did not dominate one side, and second, he was defeated by the Chu State and became a laughing stock.

"Song Kingdom is more benevolent and righteous?"

The staff are a little puzzled.

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded: "Let's start from the beginning.

"Because of the superior status of the State of Song, his treatment is very high. Because the people of the State of Song are very good at doing business, they developed very well in the Spring and Autumn Period. Originally, the State of Song only owned a territory less than a hundred miles away. Slowly, the State of Song has already owned [-] square kilometers of land."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Huan of Qi once entrusted his son Zhao to Duke Xiang of Song. After the death of Duke Huan of Qi, civil strife broke out in Qi State to seize the throne. Duke Xiang of Song took several vassal states and escorted Prince Zhao all the way back. When we arrived in Qi State, in the end, son Zhao became the king of Qi State, and he was Duke Xiao of Qi."

"Because of this incident, Song Xianggong's prestige has been greatly improved. At the same time, Song Xianggong also began to feel complacent. So, he wanted to learn from Qi Huangong, inviting a group of princes to form an alliance and become the leader of the alliance, that is, to become the leader of the alliance. The overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. But Song Xianggong had a good idea, but all the big countries in the Central Plains ignored him. This made Song Xianggong very distressed. All the princes ignored him, and Song State did not have such a strong strength All the princes, what should we do?"

"For this reason, Song Xianggong thought, why not take advantage of the prestige of the big country to suppress other small countries. Song Xianggong shared his thoughts with the ministers, but the first person who objected was Song Xianggong's elder brother Mu Yi , he said, Song State is weak, far less powerful than Qi State at that time, and even less powerful than Chu State is now. King Cheng of Chu sent an invitation, inviting them to come to Song Guoyu to hold an alliance meeting to discuss the conclusion of an alliance."

Sometimes that's the case.

When your desire reaches a certain level, you may not think about anything.

He just wants to accomplish such a thing, he just wants to accomplish the cause that the predecessors have not accomplished for hundreds of years.

This is just like some modern countries must dominate the world.

Even if some countries do not have this strength, they don't have to stand up and take risks.

Song Xianggong is like this.

"Song Xianggong was eagerly preparing to go to the meeting, and his elder brother Mu Yi advised him: You should bring more soldiers and horses, in case the king of Chu has bad intentions. But Song Xianggong said: How can we do that? We are holding a meeting to avoid war. Why bring so many soldiers and horses? During the meeting, Song Xianggong and Chu Chengwang both wanted to be the leader of the alliance. The king directly lifted the table, and then sent his army to arrest Song Xianggong. Fortunately, Song Xianggong had some friends, and Lu and Qi were on the sidelines to persuade him, and agreed that King Chucheng should be the leader of the alliance, so Song Xianggong was released."

"After Song Xianggong came back, he was full of anger. He hated King Chu Cheng, and he also hated King Zheng Guo, who had the same nostrils as King Chu Cheng. He decided to crusade Zheng Guo. Zheng Guo asked Chu State for help, and Chu Cheng King led the army Direct attack on the Song State. The Chu and Song armies faced each other across the Hongshui, the Chu army was in the north, and the Song army was in the south. The Chu army relied on the large number of people and forcibly crossed the river in broad daylight to attack the Song army.

At this time, the son Muyi said to Song Xianggong: Before the Chu army has crossed the river, we will rush to the river and we will surely win.But Song Xianggong, who was full of stupidity and stupidity, said: No, we are a country of benevolence and righteousness. If the enemy is crossing the river, we will kill him. Can we still be regarded as a country of benevolence and justice?At this time, the Chu army had all gone ashore and was queuing up in a mess. Mu Yi said to Song Xianggong: "The Chu army is not stable. If we kill them, we may still win. Otherwise, we will be in danger."Song Xianggong said: "You are too unrighteous. How can you attack if your team hasn't been lined up yet?"However, before he finished speaking, the Chu army of the brigade rushed over like a flood, causing the Song army to flee one after another. Song Xianggong was also shot in the thigh by an arrow. Under the protection of several loyal ministers, Song Xianggong was able to escape. "

Sometimes history is harder to believe than drama.

Many people can't believe it.

How can there be such a monarch?

When Chen Fan said that Song Xianggong played like this, the whole live broadcast room was shocked.

"My God."

"It's so funny, let others go ashore first when fighting a war, not to mention going ashore, but let him organize the team?"

"Teacher Chen Fan, you are teasing me, you are teasing me, you must be teasing me."

Everyone really laughed so hard that their stomachs ached.

I have seen wars, but I have never seen such wars.

If there is such benevolence and righteousness in real wars, then the world will be much more peaceful.

"The news of the defeat of the Song State spread throughout the Song State, and people talked a lot, complaining that Song Xianggong should not have fought with Chu, let alone fight like that. The son Muyi reported these comments to Song Xianggong, and Song Xianggong said nonchalantly: In my opinion, people who talk about benevolence and righteousness should fight like me. For example, when you see someone who is already injured, don’t hurt him anymore; , Said: To fight is to destroy the enemy. If you are afraid of hurting the enemy, why do you fight? If you see a gray-haired person and don’t catch him, then let him take you away... Come on..."

This is naturally Mu Yi's angry words.

But a year later, Song Xianggong died of illness.

"Okay, I suddenly understand why Teacher Chen Fan said Song Xianggong is too benevolent."

"It really is benevolence and righteousness, almost destroying the country."

"However, this alone can become the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants?"

Many people have some doubts about Song Guo's positioning as the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although in terms of reputation, Song Xianggong is indeed not bad.

But it's too cheesy.

Duke Huan of Qi is such a dick, if you want to form an alliance with the princes, let dozens of princes come over, and I will be the leader of the alliance, do you have any objections?

As a result, other people naturally had no opinion.

But Song Xianggong himself did not have the strength to be the leader of the alliance, but he wanted to be the leader of the alliance, and then dominate the princes... This is courting death.

but.

Chen Fan also added: "In fact, sometimes you don't blame Song Xianggong. You may not know that the wars between countries in the early Spring and Autumn Period were relatively civilized. The Chu army mentioned by Song Xianggong has not yet crossed the water. The fact that the troops did not attack has not been sorted out, and it did happen. Even, not only these, but also more unimaginable examples. For example, in the early Spring and Autumn Period, the two countries were going to war. Then you can't attack them. At the same time, sneak attacks are not allowed. If you encounter people with gray beards, you can't take them away, and you are not allowed to attack wounded soldiers."

"Is there such a rule?"

"Also, if you can't win the fight, you can run away. If you escape beyond 50 steps, you can no longer pursue it."

Mencius has a saying, "Fifty steps laugh at a hundred steps."

In fact.

In the early spring and autumn period, 50 steps can be laughed at a hundred steps.

Because you will not be chased by the opponent if you escape to 50 steps, and you don't need to escape another 100 steps.

"In addition, if you find that the opponent's tank is broken during the pursuit, you will often help him repair it. After repairing it, let them run away and continue chasing."

After Chen Fan told a series of fighting styles of the princes and states in the early Spring and Autumn Period.

In the entire live broadcast room, only three words appeared: "No way, no way, no way..."
