商朝末年,暴君纣王统治残暴,朝中官员大多心怀不满,甚至暗中策划谋反。周武王在讨伐纣王的关键时刻,向他的军队发表了慷慨激昂的誓师演讲。他强调,只有将士们同心同德,团结一心,才能战胜强大的敌人。他号召大家为了共同的目标,为了光复华夏,为了天下黎民百姓的福祉,抛弃私心杂念,拧成一股绳,奋勇杀敌。周武王慷慨激昂的誓言点燃了将士们心中的激情,他们深受鼓舞,决心同心同德,誓死追随武王,最终推翻了商朝的残暴统治,建立了周朝。
At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the tyrannical King Zhou ruled with cruelty, and most of the officials in the court were dissatisfied and even secretly plotting rebellion.

He called on everyone to abandon selfish thoughts and work together for their common goal: the restoration of China and the welfare of the people. King Wu's impassioned words ignited the enthusiasm of his soldiers, who were deeply inspired to follow him to the death and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty.
