I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 621 The Three Supreme Gods of Kyushu

Roy has no plans to transfer troops from other regions to the mainland of China.

Because the mainland of China is really too big, even if Luo Yi dispatched a hundred thousand troops, it would be a drop in the bucket to rule the mainland of China.

The only way for Roy to conquer China is to assimilate the natives of China into Athenians.

It's obviously not too difficult to do this.

Although Roy's policy was to eliminate princes and nobles, there was no shortage of Fang kingdoms and tribes that became slaves after defeat in the mainland of China.

For example, supporting Xia Jie in the Xia-Shang War, Wei, Kunwu, Shun, and Three Kingdoms were destroyed by Cheng Tang.

These vassal states were annexed by Shang, their nobles became human sacrifices of Shang State, and the common people became slaves of Shang State.

In Haocheng, the capital of Shang, there were tens of thousands of slaves from Wei, Kunwu, Shun, and Three Kingdoms.

After Luo Yi's army occupied Haocheng, they transformed all the slaves in the city into Chinese, and immediately won the support of tens of thousands of people.

As for Roy's policy of eliminating princes and nobles——

What does this have to do with slaves?
Do slaves like to exploit and enslave their princes and nobles?
When Luo Yi allocated land in Hao City and canceled taxes, even the common people of the Shang Kingdom began to support Luo Yi's rule.

After all, although the princes and nobles were of the same race as them, the princes and nobles did not allow them to live a better life.

Could it be that because the princes and nobles are of the same race, the common people will support the rule and slavery of the princes and nobles?

This is obviously impossible!

After recruiting [-] soldiers in Haocheng, Luo Yi began to occupy the Yuzhou area.

Yuzhou is a big central state.

Even if the towns in Yuzhou were not directly under the Xia royal family, they were ruled by princes who supported Xia.

When Luo Yi conquered Yuzhou, he could wipe out the princes and nobles in Yuzhou without any scruples.

Because after the Xia-Shang War ended, all the princes and nobles who supported Xia Jie had been wiped out by Cheng Tang.

The remaining princes and nobles had obviously betrayed Xia Jie.

As Xia Jie's son-in-law, Luoyi had the right to eliminate the princes and nobles who betrayed Xia Jie.

1594 BC.

July.

Yangzhou and Yuzhou were all included in the territory of the Athens Empire.

Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou——

A quarter of the world of Kyushu has already belonged to Roy.

Among the remaining seven states, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Jizhou belong to the Niaoyi ethnic group who worship the sun god Emperor Jun.

The Tori tribe is dominated by nine large tribes, and they are called the Jiu Yi tribe.

When Hou Yi ruled Yuzhou, he crusaded against the Niaoyi tribe, so it was called Yi She Nine Suns.

Jingzhou and Liangzhou [Sichuan] belong to the southern ethnic group who worship the earth goddess Nuwa.

Yongzhou belongs to the Rongdi ethnic group who worship the Emperor Yuanshi.

Xiqi and Qishan are located in Yongzhou.

In the pre-Qin era, the people from all directions in Kyushu were divided into four major ethnic groups.

The east is called barbarians, who are tattooed, and there are those who do not eat fire.

In the south, it is called Man, and there are some people who do not eat fire.

In the west, it is called Rong, and some of them don't eat grains when they are given clothes and skins.

In the north, it is called Di, who lives in clothes and feathers, and some people do not eat grains.

It is Dongyi who worships the sun god Dijun, so the sun god Dijun is also called Donghuang Taiyi.

During the Warring States Period, King Qi was once known as the Eastern Emperor, because the name "Eastern Emperor" has existed since ancient times.

It is Nanman who worships the goddess of the earth.

In another world, it is no accident that the descendants of Nuwa in mythology came from the south.

Among the Kyushu, Yongzhou is both the west and the north, so Xirong and Beidi are collectively called Rongdi.

What Rongdi worshiped was the emperor Yuanshi Tianwang.

The sun god Emperor Jun and Yuanshi Tianwang are both gods who rule the north, and they are both gods of the sky attribute.

The Earth Goddess who rules the south is a deity with earth attributes.

Evidently, Dijun and Yuanshi Tianwang are much older local deities.

About 1 years ago, the group that worshiped the goddess of the earth brought the civilization and technology of the Neolithic Age to the southern part of the mainland of China, and gradually expanded their territory.

After thousands of years of development, Nanban, who worshiped the goddess of the earth, ruled the south.

After entering the Bronze Age, the Nanman, who worshiped the goddess of the earth, also entered Yongzhou to rule the north and establish the Xia Dynasty.

In this process, Dongyi took the lead in absorbing the civilization of the Bronze Age, and possessed a military force strong enough to fight against the Nanman.

So the sun god Emperor Jun challenged Nuwa, the queen of the gods, and drove Nuwa back to the south.

600 years later.

The Rong and Di in the West—the Western Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and the Yuanshi Heavenly King replaced Emperor Jun as the supreme god.

The Xia Dynasty was a country that worshiped the goddess of the earth, and the Xia royal family claimed to be the descendants of the goddess of the earth.

Therefore, the king of the Xia Dynasty used the word "hou", which symbolizes a woman, to represent the ruler, and called the king the queen of Xia.

The Shang Dynasty was a country that worshiped the sun god Dijun, and the Shang royal family claimed to be the descendants of the sun god.

Therefore, the monarch of the Shang Kingdom used the character [帝], which symbolizes wearing a crown, to represent the ruler, and added the title of emperor to the monarch.

The Zhou Dynasty was a country that worshiped the Yuanshi Heavenly King, but the Zhou royal family did not claim to be descendants of the Yuanshi Heavenly King.

Therefore, the king of the state of Zhou claimed to be the son of heaven, but he was only ordered by heaven.

The difference between them, simply put, is——

The rulers of Xia and Shang were direct descendants of the kings of the gods, and thus had authority over other gods.

Even if the gods are in front of them, they must bow their heads and bow their heads.

The ruler of the state of Zhou is not the direct descendant of Yuanshi Tianwang, the king of the gods, but the co-lord of the world who was born by destiny.

Therefore, Zhou Tianzi is just a human being, and does not have the authority of the Empress Xia and Emperor Shang to order the gods.

In another world, Haotian, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Jade Emperor, the great Taoist gods who symbolize "heaven", are actually the incarnations of Yuanshi Tianwang.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhang Daoling founded Taoism, which deified Lao Tzu as the Supreme Laojun and regarded him as the ancestor of Taoism.

Those who are too big are too big.The superior is respected.High truth is not the first, all saints respect together.Therefore, it is called Taishang Laojun.

The old man, longevity, Ming Laojun cultivated the sky and the earth, and naturally lived a long life, so it is called old man.

The emperor, the honorary title, the Tao is pure and virtuous, so it is called the emperor.Taking Laojun of the Ming Dynasty as the ancestor of all saints and the ancestor of the true gods, all things are controlled by Laojun, so they are the ancestors.

The meaning of Taishang Laojun is the supreme god who is supreme, prior to heaven and earth, and transcends life and death.

At that time, there was no name of Yuanshi.

It was not until the Northern and Southern Dynasties hundreds of years later that King Yuanshi entered the Taoist system as Yuanshi Tianzun and replaced Taishang Laojun as the supreme god.

Taishang Laojun has developed for hundreds of years, but within his own Taoism, he is no match for the airborne Yuanshi Tianzun——

It can be seen that outside of Taoism, the "Heaven" symbolized by Yuanshi Tianzun is widely worshiped.

After all, around 1000 BC, the [Heaven] symbolized by the Yuanshi Heavenly King had already been regarded as the supreme god.

About 500 years later, Li Er, the prototype of the Taishang Laojun, invented the theory of Tao.

1000 Two hundred years later, Zhang Daoling founded Taoism.

It is normal for the Taishang Laojun to be no match for Yuanshi Tianzun even within Taoism.

In the mainland of China, in addition to the three supreme gods, Nuwa, the goddess of the earth, Dijun, the sun god, and the king of Yuanshi, there are of course other gods.

But these weak gods are not qualified to be Roy's enemies.

After eliminating Sun God Di Jun, Luo Yi's eyes naturally turned to the west.

Although Yuanshi Tianwang rose 600 years later, he is also qualified to be Roy's enemy now, and Roy personally sent the god who symbolizes "Heaven" to the embrace of the mother of the world.
