Strategy and tactics are not the same thing.

The Mohists pay attention to democratic centralism, but it is very difficult to grasp the degree of slander that everything is above and that there is a mistake.

The strategy of the siege and the use of visiting groups composed of envoys from various countries after the siege to force the countries to build new gunpowder age fortresses at a high cost did not need to be discussed.

However, Sishang has always pursued a system in which company commanders receive education from brigade commanders and deputy brigade commanders, and this discussion is also in the hope of developing the strategic thinking ability of these division-level cadres.

After the six-fingered question, a division commander raised his hand and said, "In my opinion, the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages." ”

"Sishang's system, taxes, and per capita grain production are not comparable to the rest of the princes."

"Even with the wealth of our Sishang and the hearts of the people, we can only choose to build enough fortresses in the direction of Heze Taoqiu."

"In the case of Wei Han, they will devote all their strength to the whole country, and I am afraid they can only choose to build a few in the border area and near the capital."

"But that would be a huge drain on their national strength. If money is given, then the tax must be heavy; If you don't give money, the people will complain. ”

"Building such a fortress is not a rammed earth city in the past, the imperial father and his family have been in charge of the Song Kingdom for 20 years, and they have done more trade with us, but they can only build two angular cities."

"Moreover, this kind of city, it's not that we can't take it, but it's just that it's a little troublesome to attack. He spent national resources to repair, and at most he stopped us for a month or two months, which made no sense. In the end, it is the field battle that determines the victory. ”

The teacher's words drew the approval of many people.

As high-ranking officers, they knew exactly how costly it would be to build such a fortified system.

With the degree of affluence in Sishang, he only chose to build Peiyi, Pengcheng, and a fortress area southwest of Heze Taoqiu Qilu.

The whole way of building needs national strength as the foundation, and the foundation of national strength needs to change the law as the foundation, but the change will inevitably damage the interests of the old aristocracy, and the construction of the fortress also requires a lot of manpower, and the people will be dissatisfied.

In the long run, it would be advantageous if countries could be dragged into a race for border fortresses.

In fact, before this, countries had been dragged into this arms race, but most of the countries built the Great Wall.

The Great Wall of Chu, the Great Wall of Qi, the Great Wall of Wei, the Great Wall of Zhao...... These Great Walls were the optimal solution for cold weapons and Bronze Age defense systems.

With the popularization of gunpowder, copper cannons, geometry, blasting siege methods, and tunnel approach methods, the cost performance of the Great Wall system has become very low.

From the Sifang City to the Star Castle, this is not something that can be imagined with a pat on the head.

In the Sishang hegemony war between the Mohists and the Yue Kingdom, the new siege method was applied to break the city for a few days, and the world shook, and more people saw the Mohists write in the market newspapers and periodicals "the victory of reason, the victory of geometry, and the victory of Tianzhi".

From the siege method that originally relied on experience, it has changed to geometric angles, angles, parallels, perpendicularities, side lengths, engagement lengths, and so on, turning the unfathomable science of war into nine-digit geometry that can be deduced, in order to win the victory of rational thinking.

In the short term, all countries will develop, which may be unfavorable to Sishang.

In the long run, the development of rational thinking has made the leisure class in the market more and more inclined to the Mohists, which is extremely beneficial to Sishang.

Now this siege visit is similar to dragging countries into the fortress arms race.

This matter is like Zheng Guoqu in later generations.

Even if the countries know that this is Sishang, they want to consume the strength of the countries and exhaust the countries, the problem is that even if they know, they have to repair it, especially if Dangshan is quickly captured.

The old-style defense system and means of defending the city are no longer suitable for the material basis of the new era.

If it is not repaired, some Chu people have commented shortly after the previous Qi-Mo War that the national capital built with the two construction methods of the Chu State twenty years ago may not last more than two days under the attack of the Mojia siege troops.

In the Qi-Mo War, Sishang created a new mode of warfare, with long-distance raids, decisive victories in field battles, siege and rescue expenses, siege and reinforcement, and other combat methods with the main purpose of mobilizing the enemy's army and destroying the enemy's vital forces.

Under this mode of warfare, the importance of siege warfare and defense warfare is vividly reflected.

If the State of Qi could hold Pingyin and Licheng back then, where would Sishang have the opportunity to make a gesture of going straight to Linzi?

If cities such as Pingyin and Lucheng can be defended for more than three months, the princes of various countries will inevitably react, and the situation of the Mo family will be extremely disadvantaged.

If the Qi State can have the confidence to hold Linzi, then the army will not have to come back to help, and the first to withdraw the army will be Sishang Yishi......

All these are the summaries of the experiences of various countries after the First Central Plains War.

So build a new city defense system, which is what countries have to do even if they know that the Mo family is tired.

Especially in some transportation arteries, if there can be such a fortress and fortress, even if the Mo family wants to bypass it, then it is inevitable that a part of the troops will be left to besiege the city, monitor and guard their supply lines, which will lead to the dispersion of troops and the weakening of the offensive.

But just as the division commander said, not all the princes could build such a fortress.

Sishang can be repaired like that, relying on the propaganda of the people's unity, relying on excess profits, and relying on the profits from commodity dumping.

The gap in national strength is reflected in this, for example, in today's South Korea, let South Korea build out the fortified area of the Heze Taoqiu defense line in Sishang within 20 years, and the whole South Korea will inevitably be boiling with resentment and the aristocracy will rebel.

It takes people and money to build a fortress.

But where do people and money come from?

Under the peasant and military system, people also had to bear taxes, food production, and ordnance manufacturing, and the number of people who were left vacant elsewhere had to be reduced.

Under the aristocratic feudal system, the aristocratic fiefdom could not afford to repair such a city defense system by itself, would the monarch send someone to repair it and the nobles would agree? Even if the nobles agreed, would the monarch be stupid enough to build the nobles a fortress city that could fight against the central government in the future?

This is not the same thing as the later generations repairing the Zhengguo Canal and Ximen Leopard's construction of the canal in Yecheng, which caused the people's resentment.

After the canal was repaired, the irrigation agriculture was immediately effective, and the people's hearts were restored in a maximum of three years.

What about fortresses and cities? The people went to work to build, the family taxes continued to be paid, the usury of the nobles forced debts every day, and their land was bought and robbed by those who did not need to do labor...... If the people could do so, they would be ghosts.

When the Song Kingdom repaired Shangqiu City during the slack time, the people complained fiercely, and by the way, they also mocked the nobles who supervised their construction of the city, and counted the embarrassing things of the nobles.

Nowadays, the ideas of the Mohists are spreading so rapidly, every time tens of thousands of people are gathered to do something together, it is a carnival of the Mohist Xuanyi Department, and various ideas will spread among the people like wildfire: the people themselves are bound to the land, and the world they know is only within a hundred miles, and they are worried about the difficulty of propaganda, and the princes take the initiative to help gather the people together, aren't these princes members of the Mohist Xuanyi Department?

Therefore, the division commander said that in the long run, the internal contradictions of various countries will inevitably be blown up, and this has almost won the approval of the majority of the people.

This is strategic.

Some agree, others add.

Another division's Moshi representative said: "In addition, the role of the fortress of the city is only to delay our march and supply, but the final victory still depends on the field battle. ”

"What is needed for field warfare is a new military system, and the new military system must be in line with the new land system and political system. You can't imagine a standing army under the peasant and soldier system, and you can't imagine a village archer under the destruction of the well field system and the collapse of the village community, this is the same reason. ”

"Such a fortress is expensive to build, supporting the education of nine-number, geometry, artillery gunners; The training of musketeers, a standing army that can break the siege and fight in the field...... It's not just about building forts. ”

"In the short term, it may have an impact on our future operations, for example, if the Qi people build new city defenses in some important cities, we will need a longer time to capture them, and the Qi people may gather more troops."

"But in the medium term, this incident will inevitably lead to civil strife in various countries. Monarchy, nobility, commoners, taxes, servitude...... This is not something that can be solved by a simple decree, and there is no bloodshed if you want to change the law. ”

"In the long run...... In the long run, we have made the world profitable, and those cities and fortresses are only a part of Kyushu, which can be demolished or kept, and there is no point. ”

"Since we don't want to fight with the princes of the world in the short term, the drawbacks in the short term will have no effect on us, which is equivalent to non-existence."

"Since we can't allow the old aristocracy to continue to rule the world like this and brutalize the people of the world, the long-term pros and cons are not something we need to consider."

"Since only the medium term is considered, the benefits must outweigh the disadvantages. No matter how strong a city is, it needs someone to guard it, and if there is chaos in the country, no matter how strong the city is, it will be like paper soaked in water, and it will be broken if you tear it lightly. ”

This is not what these senior officers learn in the academy, but it can also be said that this is what they learned in the academy.

The senior military and political university in Sishang teaches methods, just like the difference between "Tao" and "art" that is often said in a hundred schools; They may only learn methods, but methods can analyze many truths that they need to learn but can comprehend by themselves.

The expectation in the hearts of these high-ranking officers in Sishang was to fight a decisive battle with the princes within ten years, and only twenty years at most.

Because...... After the serious illness of the poultry in that year, the first suggestion put forward was to prevent the recurrence of the situation of serious illness of the poultry at an advanced age, and the term of office of the giant was two for a maximum of 24 years.

Now, five years later, the senior military officers understand that the giant will let such a great opportunity to benefit the world be given to the next one?

Since there is an expectation of time, there is a scope for analyzing the pros and cons, if it is based on the theory of fifty years, the fortress and military reform have given birth to changes in various countries, then it will definitely be unfavorable for Sishang; The problem is fifty years, and these people don't think it's in the scope of consideration.

Fifty years is too long, three years is too short, but ten or twenty years is just right. Ten years will be the most embarrassing time, when the old law is tired and the new law is undecided.

The ultimate competition for building fortresses and reforming the military system is national strength, and the competition of national strength is for system, science, technology, organizational strength, and ...... Which country can shed all the blood that should be shed in the shortest time, and how can it change the law without bloodshed? In particular, what needs to be changed is the law of the fiefdom nobles who have the ability to make the royal power bleed, how can it not shed blood.
