What is the relationship between the internal medicine system and the external service system in Shang Dynasty?

For internal use, it is Wang Ji, that is, the area directly ruled by the king, and for external use, it is the area under the jurisdiction of the vassal States. Shang Wang held the actual power at home and abroad to varying degrees. The Shang king handled the affairs of his family through two different management systems and surrendered to the foreigners.

Shang Tang eliminated Xia Hou and established a national structure and management model characterized by internal and external service systems. In the early Shang Dynasty, with the consolidation and development of kingship, the internal and external service systems were gradually improved.

In the struggle for the throne in the middle of Shang Dynasty, the domestic and foreign service forces became an important supporting force for the throne, and the domestic and foreign service forces were weakened.

In the late Shang Dynasty and the early Wuding period, the domestic and foreign military forces played a great role in national politics, economy, military affairs, religion and other fields, which brought the Shang Dynasty to its peak.

However, after the restructuring of Zujia, several generations of Shang kings tried their best to expand the royal power and limit the influence of domestic and foreign clothes in state affairs, which led to the disintegration of the cohesion between domestic and foreign clothes and Shang kings.

Extended data:

Wang's control over the affiliated countries participating in the alliance is limited. Each subordinate country basically maintains its original social structure, and besides its obligations to commerce, it also has great autonomy. Some affiliated countries often have wars with enterprises.

The king cannot absolutely dominate the subordinate countries, which are basically independent and have great autonomy. In Shang Dynasty, the central government managed the Shang nationality areas very closely, but its control over subordinate countries was relatively weak.

Di Xin abandoned the tradition of being an official with the old nobles and killed foreign servants, which led to the contradiction between domestic and foreign service forces and Shang Dynasty. With the disintegration of the internal and external service system, the Shang Dynasty was doomed.
