Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

And under the attention of Qin Shihuang.

The sky screen continues to play.

[A pair of dragon-patterned axes unearthed from Fu Hao's tomb, each weighing 9 kilograms, with a blade width of nearly 40 centimeters, and with the inscription "Fu Hao" cast on it.]

[This ceremonial vessel, symbolizing military power, confirmed her legitimate status as commander-in-chief.]

[Among the 130 weapons buried with the deceased, the shapes of daggers, spears, and arrowheads show that her troops had formed a three-dimensional combat system that combined long-range and short-range attacks.]

[The Shang Dynasty believed that "the most important affairs of the state are sacrifice and war." ]

【And Fu Hao miraculously mastered these two fields at the same time. 】

[In the oracle bones unearthed from Yinxu, there are many records of her presiding over sacrifices to heaven, ancestors, and sacred springs.]

[As a priest of the highest rank, she is well versed in astronomy and calendar, and can interpret the oracles in the cracks of tortoise shells.]

[This ability to communicate with heaven and man enables her to always obtain the legitimacy of "divine authority" before military operations.]

[A bronze goblet with Fu Hao's inscription, now in the National Museum. ]

[It was the ritual vessel she used when presiding over important sacrifices.]

[Except for military command and sacrificial authority.]

【Wu Ding also granted Fu Hao an independent fiefdom. 】

[In this territory outside the royal capital, there are records such as "Fu Haoqi brought millet" and "Fu Hao showed" in oracle bone inscriptions. ]

[She has absolute power and can train the army, collect taxes and even cast bronze artifacts. ]

[Many of the ritual vessels such as bronze jugs and tripods with the inscription "Fu Hao" discovered by archaeologists were produced in her fiefdom workshop.]

[She had an independent fiefdom and was treated as a kingdom within a kingdom, which was unique among the more than 60 princesses in the Shang Dynasty.]

[According to oracle bone inscriptions, she often paid tribute to the royal family, including tortoise shells, shell money, prisoners of war, etc., which shows the prosperity of her fiefdom's economy.]

[This political arrangement not only reflects Wu Ding's trust in his beloved wife, but also reflects Fu Hao's outstanding governance ability. ]

[She is not only a commander on the battlefield, but also a local ruler who is capable of managing a region. ]

[The relationship between Fu Hao and Wu Ding went beyond the ordinary relationship between husband and wife and formed a unique political alliance. ]

[According to oracle bone inscriptions, Fu Hao may have come from the nobles of Fang State in the north of the Shang Dynasty.]

[This marriage itself carries a strong political alliance color. ]

【But it is different from the hypocritical political marriages of later generations. 】

【Wu Ding showed rare respect and dependence on Fu Hao.】

[According to the existing oracle bone inscriptions, Wu Ding performed divination for Fu Hao more than 200 times.]

[The content ranges from good and bad luck in war to reproductive health. ]

[Even including details of life such as whether the toothache has healed. ]

[This level of concern has never been seen in other princesses.]

[Their relationship has gone beyond the scope of monarch and general, king and queen.]

[Even more intriguingly, when Fu Hao led the army independently, Wu Ding would "ask" for her military advice through divination.]

[An oracle bone records Wu Ding asking: "Will Fu Hao come? Or will Fu Hao not come?". ]

[Whether Fu Hao should return to her teacher? )]

[This kind of almost equal military consultation was an anomaly in the Shang Dynasty, which was characterized by absolute monarchy.]

[On a cold night in 1245 BC, Fu Hao, who was only years old, suddenly passed away, leaving an unsolved mystery for future generations.]

[According to oracle bone inscriptions, when Fu Hao was seriously ill, Wu Ding conducted divination for seven consecutive days.]

[This powerful Shang king repeatedly asked in the oracle inscriptions, "Is Fu Hao in trouble?" and "Does Fu Hao have any illness?"]

【Wu Ding tried to communicate with the gods about the cause of his beloved wife's death.】

【But I only got the vague words "production of evil spirits". 】

[In order to commemorate his beloved, Wu Ding buried Fu Hao next to the daily palace area so that her soul could accompany him forever. ]

[It is also recorded in oracle bone inscriptions.]

[Wu Ding married Fu Hao to three former kings of the Shang Dynasty: Cheng Tang, Taijia and Zuyi.]

[This seemingly absurd behavior actually stems from the Shang Dynasty's concept of "treating death as life".]

Wu Ding believed that Fu Hao's soul needed the protection of the previous king, and marrying her to the previous king was a way of honoring her status.

[I also hope that she will continue to enjoy honor in another world. ]

[These records indirectly reflect the irreplaceable position of Fu Hao in Wu Ding's heart. ]

[And the Shang Dynasty highly recognized her achievements. ]

Barrage:

"Wu Ding is so infatuated?"

"Of course, I thought that Fu Hao had so much power that Wu Ding would be afraid of her."

《The most affectionate person in the Shang Dynasty.》

"Pure Love God of War" belongs to.

"Wu Ding is too infatuated, a good man."

"To be able to feel this kind of longing, love is too deep."

"Thanks to Wu Ding burying Fu Hao in the palace instead of the royal mausoleum area, Fu Hao's tomb became the only intact mausoleum in Yinxu."

"Wu Ding later dreamed of meeting Fu Hao, and immediately sought divination from the priests to find out how Fu Hao was doing over there."

"Amazing! Even Oracle can eat dog food."

"What's the point of bragging about being the most affectionate? Wu Ding had three queens, all of whom were recorded in oracle bones. Don't try to use the idea of ​​exclusive love as true love."

"The King of Shang was originally polygamous, but does that mean a polygamous King of Shang cannot have true love?"

……

The sky continues.

[Modern archaeologists have discovered many fertility-related jade artifacts and infant skeletons buried with Fu Hao in her tomb.]

[It seems to suggest that difficult childbirth may be the main reason for the death of this female war goddess. ] [However, most of the more than 20 weapons unearthed from the tomb showed signs of use, and some of the bronze daggers had obvious cracks on the blades. ]

[This has led scholars to wonder whether she returned to the battlefield shortly after giving birth.]

【He eventually died from a recurrence of his old injuries.】

[The funeral of Fu Hao also broke all the ritual conventions of the Shang Dynasty.]

[Wu Ding built a huge tomb for her that was 7.5 meters deep, which was far beyond the 5-meter standard for male nobles of the same period.]

[The tomb also contains a full set of ritual vessels for sacrificial offerings.]

[Including 28 bronze goblets and 53 bronze jue, the number even exceeds the burial objects of King Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty. ]

[He was also buried with the emperor with a large square tripod inscribed with the inscription "Si Mu Xin" which symbolized the king's power.]

[This is an honor that only the mother of the Shang king deserves.]

[Among the 16 human remains found at the archaeological site, 4 were wearing jade weapons, and they were all well-trained warriors.]

[It is very likely that Fu Hao's personal guards were buried with him.]

[For the pair of bronze axes with dragon patterns weighing 9 kilograms in the tomb, Wu Ding specifically ordered people to break off a corner of the axe blade.]

[This ceremony is called the "Zhebing Ceremony."]

[It symbolizes that the warrior's weapon will always accompany its owner to rest in peace. 】

[In recent years, the academic community's research on Fu Hao has entered a new stage. ]

[Through AI restoration technology, archaeologists successfully reconstructed Fu Hao's face: oval face, high cheekbones, single eyelids, which are highly similar to the features of modern North China women. ]

[A replica of her armor is displayed.]

[This brave female general wore a "jade armor" made of 238 pieces of jade, which provided both protection and flexibility.]

【Throughout Chinese history, there have not been many female generals. 】

[And this Fu Hao who lived more than 3200 years ago was the beginning and the pinnacle of Chinese female generals. ]

【none of them. 】

……

The video ends.

There were also discussions in the barrage and comment sections.

"Is it true or not? Is Fu Hao a wild history?"

What kind of education is this?

"I've been to the National Museum, and there are many records and burial objects of Fu Hao. She was indeed a very powerful woman."

"China's first recorded female war god."

《The Shang Dynasty’s High Priest, General, Queen, and National Hero! 》

"Wu Ding and Fu Hao, both of whom often led troops in battle, would be the two strongest male and female protagonists in modern online fiction, and they would be awesome!"

"Fu Hao was 1 meters tall, which made her a giant in that era."

"Then Wu Ding is blessed."

"The most important affairs of a country are sacrifices and war, not to mention a superstitious dynasty like the Shang Dynasty. Fu Hao could lead half of the country's military forces and was also responsible for sacrifices. Fu Hao was obviously the number one queen."

"In the oracle bones discovered so far, the largest number of troops Wu Ding led was 5000, while Fu Hao led 13000..."

"Why do businessmen always consult divination for every matter, big or small? Are they so free?"

"The Shang Dynasty was originally the most superstitious dynasty."

"Before the discovery of Fu Hao's tomb, everyone thought that Fu Hao was a position, otherwise why would there be so many occurrences of a person who was not a king in the oracle bone inscriptions?"

"It was not until the discovery of Fu Hao's tomb that people realized that Fu Hao was actually a person."

And outside the sky.

Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin was also deeply moved when he looked at the contents on the sky curtain.

In Li Shimin's time, many ancient legends from the Shang Dynasty recorded in oracle bone inscriptions had long been lost.

Although Li Shimin had learned a lot about Wu Ding's deeds, he also regarded this ancient wise king as his role model.

But it was also the first time that Li Shimin learned about Fu Hao's deeds.

Li Shimin, who had gained more knowledge, could not help but sigh:
"I didn't expect that the one who was the Holy King of Shang Dynasty, Wu Ding, and his queen was also such a powerful figure."

"As a woman, she was able to command the army in battle and preside over sacrifices."

“It’s really remarkable.”

"It's even more impressive than when my sister led the battle."

"But what moved me even more was that Wu Ding and Fu Hao were the ruler and queen of a country."

"He led the country, commanded the army, and was in charge of the sacrifices."

"Such a high position and power, yet such love and such harmonious relationship."

"When Fu Hao was alive, Wu Ding was very concerned about her."

"Even after Fu Hao passed away, Wu Ding still missed her from time to time, and tried his best to hope that Fu Hao could live happily in the other world."

"As a king, I can do this."

“It’s already very difficult.”

When he said this, Li Shimin couldn't help but look into the distance, at Empress Changsun who was taking a nap in a chair.

Although her beauty has faded, her love has not stopped.

Li Shimin's eyes were also full of love.

Li Shimin felt that he dared not say anything else, but as an emperor, the relationship between him and the queen was very solid!
This real feeling also made Li Shimin feel very proud.

Compared with those emperors who had equally outstanding achievements, but whose families were not harmonious and whose spouses were like enemies.

Li Shimin could not help but feel a little superior. (End of this chapter)
