When he crossed the Great Wall of Chu with Meng Sheng and others, it was already April.

If Zheng Wei and Han want to jointly send troops this year, they should have already started to recruit and prepare at this time.

However, it is estimated that the time for the three countries to send troops will not be too fast, and the contradictions between Zheng and Han need to be resolved.

And the knife in the back was quite ruthless, directly besieging Yang Zhai, the capital of South Korea.

In other words, at the same time that the three kingdoms joined forces to enter the prince's decision, Zheng Guo, as an ally, took advantage of the opportunity of the three kingdoms to fight against Chu and attacked the capital of the ally.

Si Ziyang was ambitious, and the land of Zheng was divided by Chu and Korea. There is also a feud with South Korea.

On the eastern front, if we can take advantage of the opportunity of Wei and Han to jointly attack the Great Wall of Chu and enter the prince's ding, take Yuguan Daliang, etc., connect the east and west together, and besiege the Korean capital at the same time to force Korea to sign an alliance, it seems that it can be revitalized.

The timing of this betrayal is excellent, Wei will in any case in order to maintain the situation of the temporary alliance of the Three Kingdoms into Wang Ziding, and Wang Ziding is in Zheng State at this time, so he can only mediate in the middle, and will not help Korea fight Zheng Guo in the name of the Three Jin Alliance...... Moreover, South Korea ate Zheng Guo, and the most dissatisfied is probably Wei State.

Shi is very suspicious that the reason for this time in history that "Jin Shi and Zheng Shi will not succeed in entering the prince" is not that Lu Yanggong defeated the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but it is likely that the contradiction between Zheng and Han intensified after Zheng Ren stabbed him in the back.

After all, just four years later, the state of Chu had a big defeat, and it was impossible for the field combat capability to drop so much in just four years.

Moreover, this time the state of Chu is regarded as the total outbreak of various diseases accumulated over decades, so that when counterattacking Zheng Guo, if there is no internal problem in Zheng State, it may not be able to defeat.

According to the previous plan, the Shi people did not go directly to Luyang, but first went to Yingcheng to the east of Luyang, and they would join those who rushed to this place from Pei County, as well as the weapons that were sold to the Chu State to defend the city.

Yingcheng is about the Pingdingshan of later generations, the son of King Wu has been in this country, "Xia Wu" in the poem also has a sentence of "Meizi alone, should be Hou Shunde", also did the Son of Heaven to supervise the country, after the Chu State destroyed the Ji, here is the county.

This place also belongs to the Luyang Luguan defense line, this time if the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Zheng enter the prince's determination, they must break through the Great Wall defense line of the Chu State.

Take the line of Ye and Fangcheng, where the feudal monarchs are strong, but they are afraid that they will be besieged, and they are also worried that if they can't succeed, they will be copied by these county officials.

It looks easier to take the line of Luyang and Luguan, and this is the shortest distance, once the Luguan is broken, then the state of Chu will inevitably shake.

This is a political battle, and there is no need to win brilliantly, as long as the Great Wall defense line of Chu State is opened, the internal contradictions of Chu State will always erupt, and those who support Wang Ziding will immediately stand up and wave their flags and shout.

As the commander of the Luguan defense line, Lu Yanggong also took on great pressure this time and could not withstand any failure. Once you fail, there is almost no chance of a comeback.

Originally, Gongsun Kuan was right to choose Luyang as a fief, but at that time, the state of Chu was aggressive, and it was in an offensive position in an all-round way, and the anxiety point of the struggle for hegemony was also between Song and Zheng.

When neither side had the power to destroy the country, it was impossible for Jin to attack the essence of Chu with all his strength, and could only find a way to maintain hegemony from the direction of Song Zheng in the Central Plains.

But now the situation has changed, and Luyang, who was originally safe, is on the front line of this inheritance war.

This time it's no better than before.

Before Mozi traveled to Luyang, at that time the Duke of Luyang was still complacent, and Mozi went to talk to the Duke of Luyang as a position to persuade him not to start an unjust war.

The relationship between Lu Yang Gong and the Mo family is quite close, and the previous generation and this generation have friendships, but this friendship is not enough for the Mo family to help Lu Yang Gong do things, and the ultimate goal is for the Mo family's own plan.

Shi and the others were in Yingcheng, and they quickly found the people of the Mo family who had been staying here for more than ten days. This time, more than forty people came from within the Mo family, and the rest were transported by some hired people.

The carriage was loaded with gunpowder and some rudimentary firearms, which were not cumbersome to make, but they were too dangerous and not very powerful to use, but at this time they were still ahead of their time, and it was a huge breakthrough to start from scratch.

There were 1,000 gunpowder mines of iron or pottery, 30 barrels of gunpowder, more than 300 primitive firearm weapons such as crude hand cannons, four lightweight "cannons" or large-caliber spray guns that fired gravel, and three small copper cannons.

This is something that has been produced since it was decided in July last year, and although copper is expensive, the return is the infiltration of the Chu State, the right to open mines, and the right to tax exemption, and this investment is still worth it.

In addition to these firearms, there were six sets of iron armor.

At this time, all countries have armor, and a leather craftsman like Shi's brother needs to pay a certain amount of armor as a military tax, of course, leather armor.

Because they are all long strips of armor, it looks like a wooden piece written on bamboo slips at this time, so it is called a wooden slab.

Since Peixian can produce iron on a large scale and has trained a group of forging craftsmen, it is not difficult to make this kind of armor.

Although the labor value of each set of armor is still very expensive at this time, since the countries have not yet reached the peak of militarism in the Warring States Period, it is also a good way to accumulate money by relying on the armor that these "nobles" can afford, and exchange for a large amount of money at the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

These weapons are all profitable, and they are actually several times the profit.

Not counting the two privileges obtained by the Chu State, these armor pieces can also be sold to the nobles for extremely high profits.

Moreover, now that the world's powerful countries are dominated by Jin and Chu, a series of wars around this Chu succession crisis are the perfect time to open up the market and reputation of these "defensive weapons" that can be sold.

If the Mohists wanted to develop, they had to have enough funds to reproduce as capital input, so that they could continuously attract craftsmen and people from all over the world and enrich their strength.

Now that the future course has been determined internally, this kind of arms trade will also become the main income of the Mo family in the near future.

This is the real windfall profit, compared to the iron farming tools that take years to repay, or the co-farming society that the Mo family directly invested in for a long time, the profit is both high and the speed of recovery is fast.

Following this escort was Mozi's disciple Hu Feizi, who was also the "gentleman" of the Chu people, who was familiar with both Shi and Meng Sheng, and was an important figure in the Mo family.

Hu Feizi first asked about the appropriate trip to Yingdu, and when he learned that the king of Chu had agreed to various conditions, he said happily: "Before coming, the giant said that the right thing must be trusted." Now that this matter has been completed, my Mo family will soon be able to enter Chu. ”

Shi Hui said: "I heard that the cunning rabbit has three holes, but I can only avoid its dead ears. Now the Mo family only has a cave in Pengcheng, Pei County, and it is not stable. If you can gain a foothold in the Chu State this time, the situation will look good in the future. ”

Then Shi asked again what happened to Peixian after he left? What instructions do the giants and the seven enlightenments have?

Hu Feizi first talked about the changes in Pei County, just as Shi conjecture, everything is on the right track, and there is no risk of war in the short term, and the development of the entire Pei County is normal and upward.

The iron-smelting technology has basically reached the level of the Han Dynasty, and the technology of producing pig iron by stirring method is higher, because there is a reflective arc to separate the fuel and pig iron, and the wrought iron produced is of good quality.

The Mohist family itself is the top artisan association of craftsmen in this era, and the level of various craftsmen is not low.

It is suitable to know the general outline and principle, and the original ink master has strong hands-on ability, which is a match made in heaven.

After the busy autumn harvest, Pei County also began the first batch of conscription, and the number of volunteers in Pei County expanded to about 3,000.

And that's not even counting Pengcheng, which has just begun to infiltrate.

Moreover, the iron farm tools produced in Pei County also began to be transported to the north through Taoyi and other cities in exchange for a large amount of copper metal.

As the basic plate of the Mo family, the Song Kingdom adopted more of the method of "the city is kind to the people".

Relying on the strongholds in some cities, the use of the promotion of Sumai and a public mill in Thirty Miles, the use of "Shi Fu Shui" and other means of curing diseases, gradually infiltrated the surrounding areas of the Song Kingdom.

Most of those iron tools were repaid gradually in installments, so as to not only develop the agriculture of the Song Kingdom, but also gain the support and familiarity of more Song people.

In addition, everything else is also developing step by step, and there are no problems for the time being, and it is at a time when the contrast between the old and the new is the strongest after the innovation of agricultural technology, and the people's support for the Mohists can be described as the peak.

After telling the situation in Pei County, Hu Feizi and Meng Sheng Heshi said: "This time, Juzi discussed with the rest of the committee members, since the future goal has been set, then this time it is best to make the reputation of the Mo family even louder." ”

"It's just that subject to the previous agreement, this time we absolutely can't directly help the Chu State fight, but can only do it in the name of providing equipment to defend the city. Juzi means that here, it is up to us to decide. If there is any disagreement, when there is no decision between support and opposition...... Subject to suitability. ”

Shi nodded and said, "I will do my best to live up to everyone's expectations." I've thought about this matter, this time is indeed a rare opportunity for our Mo family. ”

In the first battle of Shangqiu, the Mo family's fame, even if the Soldier Killing Society died halfway, but Shi used the Soldier Killing Society to the extreme.

This time, since it is determined that he wants to infiltrate the Chu State, he must take this opportunity to make certain merits in the Chu State, so that the King of Chu can justifiably cooperate with the Mo family.

It's just that this degree needs to be grasped very carefully.

After doing so, Zheng Weihan and other parliaments were dissatisfied with the Mo family, and even caused some unnecessary hatred.

If it is not done enough, it will be difficult for the king of Chu to suppress the opposition of the domestic aristocracy to the infiltration of the Mo family into the Chu state to help the reform.

Since everyone is allowed to make a decision on the spot, and the final decision when hesitant is put in the hands of Shi, this can be regarded as really letting Shi try to take charge alone.
