The world usually calls Bashu and Bashu together, but in fact, Shu and Ba are feuding countries.

The history of the Shu people can be traced back to the ancient Qiang tribe in the far west, which is even further west than Longxi - the Gukang Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. When this Qiang tribe moved eastward, they gave birth to their future with the daughter of Shu Mountain.

leader.

This leader was called "Silkworm Congshi" when he became an adult. As the name suggests, he is a person who knows how to raise silkworms and weave silk.

At this point, this Qiang tribe merged with the Shu people and was tentatively called the Cancong tribe.

The people of the Cancong tribe inherited the culture of the Xiqiang and Shushan tribes. They knew how to herd, hunt, farm, and raise silkworms. However, as the tribe developed, they also encountered their enemies, the ancient people from the west.

Xiqiang on the Kangqing-Tibet Plateau.

In the long war, the Cancong tribe was defeated and its leader was killed, so they were forced to move east from Shushan to the plains (actually the Sichuan Basin), where there are rich copper mines, jade, and clay, which can be used for daily needs.

During this period, a new leader "Baiguan" emerged in the tribe, who led the people to survive on this fertile land.

At this point, the Shu people moved from the "Tiancan tribe" stage to the "Baiguan tribe" stage.

The people of the Baiguan clan, on the basis of inheriting the culture of the Tiancan clan, also learned to forge bronze and pottery.

Unfortunately, this tribe gradually declined.

At that time, across a big river from the Baiguan tribe, there was an indigenous tribe whose leader was the "Yufu tribe". When the Baiguan tribe declined, the Yufu tribe annexed the former. At this point, the powerful Shu tribe began to

Taking shape.

During the Yufu clan's era, the Shu people not only mastered herding, hunting, farming, spinning, pottery making, and copper smelting, but also knew how to use Yufu for fishing. They simply combined the advantages of both nomadic and agricultural peoples.

, very powerful.

Later, the leader of the Yufu clan established the Kingdom of Shu on this fertile land that would later be called the Land of Abundance.

Unfortunately, due to the terrain (basin), floods often occur in Shu.

In the most serious flood, the ruthless floods destroyed the former prosperity of the Shu Kingdom.

As a result, the Shu Kingdom in the Yufu clan's era was in ruins.

A few years later, Kaiming, who shared the same "Du" surname as the Yufu family, replaced the former Shu state and dug through Wushan to guide water flow out of the country. "PS: It was only when I looked for information that I discovered that the Yangtze River was actually the result of the ancient Shu state digging through Wushan.

It was formed by deriving floods, it’s amazing.』

After that, the Shu Kingdom entered the Kaiming clan stage and became stronger and stronger.

The Shu Kingdom was very powerful at that time. When the Central Plains was still dominated by dozens of countries, the Shu Kingdom expanded its territory to "Hanzhong" in the north, Shushan Mountain in the west, Nanzhong (Yunnan) in the south, and Baqian in the east.

Until the Shu people met the Ba people.

The Ba Kingdom, or the Ba people, lived in Wushan, adjacent to the Chu Kingdom. At that time, the Chu Kingdom had only the western part of Chu, and had not yet acquired the eastern part of Chu.

During the war with the Chu people, the Ba people were forced to move westward. Caught between the Shu and Chu states, they struggled to survive in what was later called "Badi" (i.e., the eastern part of the Sichuan Basin), using Wushan as their

Barrier to resist the Chu State.

A few years later, the Chu State expanded eastward, the relationship between Bach and Chu was no longer tense, and the Shu people became the new enemies of the Ba people.

For the Shu people, the Ba people were the invaders who occupied their homeland, and for the Ba people, they longed for this fertile land (Sichuan Basin).

As a result, the Bashu and Bashu tribes started a long confrontation and stalemate.

At this time, the Ba Kingdom had also established a country, and successively built five capitals in Ba County, namely "Jiangzhou", "Pingdu", and "Langzhong". It was precisely because of this that Shu

The country went to war with Pakistan. "Note: Sorry, the author looked through the information for a long time and couldn't find the two remaining capitals of Pakistan."

But having said that, instead of saying that Ba is a country, it is more like a collection of tribes such as the "Jiejiao Alliance", "Sichuan-Luo Alliance", and "Sichuanbei Alliance".

This alliance-like combination of tribes was originally composed of five major tribes: "Ba clan", "Fan clan", "Shen clan", "Xiang clan" and "Zheng clan".

It is not difficult to guess that the reason why these five major tribes united was probably because none of them could annex the other four tribes in one go, and there were threats from external enemies - Chu and Shu - so they united for survival.

stand up.

Later, it gradually absorbed some small tribes that defected to the Ba people, as well as some split affiliated tribes.

Because of the lack of a monarch-like figure, the political power of the Ba Kingdom is very chaotic. In times when life and death are not critical, the five tribes often fight on their own, and there are even some attempts to add insult to injury and take advantage of others.

In order to truly unite the tribes, the five major tribes of "Bashi", "Fan", "Qing", "Xiang" and "Zheng" decided to elect a chief.

As for the recommended method, it is naturally through force.

In the end, the Ba clan won the victory. Therefore, these tribes, including the "Fan clan", "Qing clan", "Xiang clan" and "Zheng clan", were later collectively referred to as "Ba people" by the Central Plains.

The countries established jointly are also collectively known as Pakistan.

In the long years, Bashu and Bashu were often in harmony, and wars often broke out. But in the end, no one could do anything to the other. Therefore, King Du of Shu and Ba Shi, the leader of Ba, reached a tacit understanding.

Avoid conflicts as much as possible.

This does not mean that Bashu and Bashu have given up their hatred and prejudices, but it is just that neither side is sure of defeating the other, so they can only reach peace.

The war between the two countries has gradually subsided, and both sides are interested in expanding in other directions.

Among them, Shu State mainly expanded to the southwest, while Ba State expanded to the north.

Compared with the Shu State, which had formed a stable culture similar to that of the Central Plains countries at this time, the Ba State was still in the early stage of the clan state. The typical phenomenon of the early clan state was to continuously expand, absorb, and rob foreign populations to supplement the tribesmen (including slaves).

quantity.

On the way to expand northward, the Ba people encountered the Zhao family who had migrated from Longxi County to the Central Plains, and the two sides started fighting.

Finally, with the help of people from the Qinling Mountains, the Zhao family defeated and severely damaged the Ba Kingdom.

After that, the Zhao family continued to move eastward, gradually conquering Sanchuan, Zheng State, and Liang State, and established the Wei State. However, the Ba State suffered a great loss in strength due to this war.

Seeing this, the Shu Kingdom immediately broke the previous tacit agreement of "non-aggression between the two countries" and immediately sent troops to attack the Ba Kingdom.

After all, to the Shu people, the Ba people were enemies who had usurped half of their land. Even if it was not out of hatred but for future generations, they had to drive these enemies out of the land.

But what I didn't expect was that even though Ba State suffered heavy losses due to the war with its ancestors of Wei and Qin, it still stubbornly defended "Ba Commandery" in the end.

In the end, the Shu Kingdom could only recapture "Hanzhong" that once belonged to them, but could not recapture Bajun.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties of the people, the Shu State changed its strategy. He asked his younger brother to go to Hanzhong County and established the "Ju State" there. As a subordinate state of the Shu State, he cut off the "Northward Road" of the Ba State and tried to attack the Ba State.

Launch a two-sided flanking attack.

Another reason is that the main family of the Zhao family, the Wei family in Longxi, also expanded frequently to the southeast at that time. The Wei family in Longxi, which was still strong at that time, made the Shu Kingdom quite wary and hoped that the Ju Kingdom could act as a buffer.

function.

However, although the first few generations of monarchs of Ju State still firmly remembered their mission as Ju State, over time, due to various reasons, Ju State was no longer satisfied with being a vassal state of Shu.

During this period, Ba State wooed Ju State, and both parties united to resist Shu State.

Although the monarch of the State of Ju did not intend to completely break up with the State of Shu, it is undeniable that the State of Ju was secretly helping the State of Ba, which gradually balanced the situation in which the State of Shu was strong and the State of Ba was weak.

After a few years like this, the Central Plains gradually formed the Han, Qi, Wei, Song, Lu, Chu, Wei and other kingdoms. In the land of Bashu, the Shu Kingdom was like the later Qi Kingdom, because it was too comfortable.

And gradually lost the blood of the ancestors, and the national power gradually turned from prosperity to decline.

Logically speaking, this should be a good opportunity for Pakistan to seize the opportunity to devour Shu, but unfortunately, Pakistan is not united within itself.

It may be because Shu, the biggest enemy, has already lost its threat, and the "Fan family", "Qing family", "Xiang family", and "Zheng family" no longer recognize that "Ba family" has always occupied a large area.

The position of the patriarch, they are not listening

According to the orders of the Ba tribe, they fought independently, either attacking Shu or annexing other small tribes. In the end, Shu, the old powerful country in the sunset, was still hanging on, while the tribes in Ba were fighting each other.

Not open to trade.

The chiefs of those tribes all wanted to annex the other tribes and become the king of Ba, and then annex Shu, their once powerful neighbor, and become the only monarch of Bashu.

To this day, Pakistan is still fighting within the country.

"..."

On the way to Badi, Zhang Qigong listened to Mi Rui's account of the history of Bashu and Bashu. He really didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Let’s leave aside the Kingdom of Shu. After all, the Kingdom of Shu, just like the other countries in the Central Plains, has gone through various stages such as annexation, expansion, and the development of its own civilization. Although it has now declined and is no longer as strong as it was in the past, its prosperity and decline are what this world has to offer.

The truth is not surprising.

But Zhang Qigong really can’t understand Baguo.

Mi Rui said that the Shu Kingdom, which was once powerful for a while, took hundreds of years without completely expelling the Ba people. This shows that the Ba Kingdom is very united in fighting against foreign enemies and its own strength is not weak.

However, when the only enemy, Shu, lost its threat, the Ba Kingdom immediately became divided. It no longer had the unity it once had, and actually began to fight against each other, so much so that even Shu, the former enemy, was still lingering by and could not care less.

Apart from the word "stupid", Zhang Qigong really doesn't know how to describe it.

However, he also understood that the reason why the Ba Kingdom was divided in the end was mainly because the "Ba Tribe", which was once the leader of the clan, was not strong enough, or in other words, the leader of the Ba Tribe lacked some means and tactics. If it were replaced by

Zhao Run, the monarch of Wei State, believed that he had already unified Bashu and counterattacked the Central Plains.

"No, no, no, how can the barbarian lords of the Western Land be compared with me, the lord of the Wei Dynasty? I am really..."

Shaking his head secretly, Zhang Qigong asked Mi Rui: "Master Mi Rui, which tribe of Ba country is the one who enshrines you as the goddess?"

"Pa's." Mi Ruiyan replied concisely and comprehensively.
