Xuanniao Qijiang: Conquests of the Yin and Shang Dynasties

In the twelfth century BC, the Shang Dynasty reached its peak under the rule of Wu Ding. However, in the long river of history, there is always the possibility of being forgotten - if a royal concubine was exiled to the northern border due to border chaos, but rose up in desperate circumstances, and used iron blood and wisdom to reshape the territory of the Shang Dynasty, how would he rewrite the territory of China? "Xuanniao Qijiang" is set in the mid-Shang Dynasty, relying on oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions and archaeological discoveries to construct an alternate history that is close to historical facts. The protagonist, Zizhao, was originally the concubine of King Wu Ding of Shang Dynasty. He was demoted to guard the border in the north due to court strife. Facing the intrusion of nomadic tribes such as Guifang and Tufang, he integrated tribes in the border areas, reformed the military system, promoted farming, and gradually expanded the influence of the Shang Dynasty to Monan, Hetao and even to the north of Yanshan. In an ancient dynasty where divine power and royal power were intertwined, he had to deal with the constraints of the priestly group, balance the interests of the vassal states, and find the boundaries for civilization expansion between conquest and mercy. This is a historical epic written without miracles or magic, only with system, strategy and blood. Here, bronze chariots roll over the wasteland, and the scorching patterns on oracle bones reflect the journey, while the ancient hymn of "The destiny black bird descends to give birth to Shang" will echo again in the new territory.
