The upshot of it was that in 771 B.C. the Emperor was killed by the
Tartars in battle, and it was only by securing the military
assistance of the semi-Tartar Warden of the Marches that the
imperial dynasty was saved. As it was, the Emperor's capital was
permanently moved east from the immediate neighbourhood of what we
call Si-ngan Fu in Shen Si province to the immediate neighbourhood
of Ho-nan Fu in the modern Ho Nan province; and as a reward for his
services the Warden was granted nearly the whole of the original
imperial patrimony west of the Yellow River bend and on both sides
of the Wei Valley. This was also in the year 771 B.C., and this is
really one of the great pivot-points in Chinese history, of equal
weight with the almost contemporaneous founding of Rome, and the
gradual substitution of a Roman centre for a Greek centre in the
development and civilization of the Far West.
