The decline of Zhou dynasty

The land directly under Zhou Wang is called the land of Ji Wang. Originally, Fiona Fang was thousands of miles away, and other places were enfeoffed during the period of King Wu. The enfeoffment system is mainly in the border areas, which has the dual functions of guarding the border and developing. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the military strength of the Zhou royal family was strong, and hundreds of thousands of troops made it impossible for any vassal state to challenge. The vassals paid tribute honestly according to the rules set by the enfeoffment system and sent troops when the capital was threatened. Zhou Youwang's bonfire drama The Princes reduced the prestige of the royal family to the extreme, and the princes no longer believed in the royal family. When the dog army attacked Haojing, only the Yuan family helped the royal family. They were originally people who raised horses and drove cars for Zhou Wang. Because of their meritorious service in protecting drivers, they were named Earl of Qin. However, in this war, the direct power of the royal family was seriously consumed, Haojing was also destroyed too much, and with the continuous threat of ethnic minorities, Wang Ping had to move the capital. At this time, there were only two or three military forces left in the royal family, and there were almost so many military forces secretly developed by the big vassal States. The royal family could no longer suppress the princes, and the princes began to let go of development, stepped up the expansion of land, and invaded the land of Ji Wang, making the territory directly under the Zhou royal family smaller and smaller, and the Zhou royal family became more and more unbearable.
