Chapter 253: New Strategy (5)
The entanglement between the Qi Kingdom and the Mo family was not just a matter of these two families from the beginning, and it is not until now.
Therefore, the conclusion of a peace treaty with Qi is not a separate matter between the two countries, nor is it just a simple external peace treaty of the Mo family, but involves the world and the Mo family.
From the perspective of a later generation, this time the princes will join forces with the Mojia and the Qi State to conclude a peace treaty, which will mean the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, which has lasted for hundreds of years, and the complete collapse of the patriarchal system of Zhou Tianzi.
The marquis of the three Jin Dynasty, the Tian family was the Qi dynasty, and it was a dark place of the times.
The title of the Marquis of the Three Jin Dynasty originated from the Three Jin Dynasty and the Three Jin Dynasty was authorized by the Son of Zhou Tianzi, even if the Son of Heaven had no real power, but the result was that the Three Jin Dynasty were "sacrificed to the Son of Heaven".
Yue took this opportunity to conquer Lu and Qi, which was just to fulfill the order of the Son of Heaven to attack Qi and support his allies as Yue Bo.
And this time after this war, the Mo family will not care about Zhou Tianzi, because Zhou Tianzi has not given the Mo family a real name so far, in other words, the Mo family is not uncommon.
Moreover, this time the alliance is to solve many problems, and create a more favorable environment for the Mo family in the future general trend of the world.
The matter between Qi and Mo.
The matter of the independence of the Zhongshan Kingdom.
The exchange of enclaves between Wei, Han, and Zhao.
The border between Chu, Wei, Korea, and Zheng and the ownership of Yuguan......
All these issues must be discussed at the time of the conclusion of the peace treaty, because this alliance must be presided over by the Mohists.
No one.
The Wei state is now worried about the cooperation between the Mo family and the Chu state.
The state of Chu itself could not recapture Yuguan, let alone the Great Liang, and needed the support of the Mo family.
Zheng Guo is now facing the danger of being abandoned to Korea by Wei State, and needs the Mo family's non-offensive as support.
The three kingdoms of Wei, Han, and Zhao swapped enclaves, and a host was needed to manipulate them to maintain "fairness".
This host, according to the previous rules, is the overlord.
The Mo family didn't care about the identity of the presiding alliance, nor did they care about Zhou Tianzi's attitude, but they cared about the benefits and favorable forms that they could get after presiding over the alliance this time.
For this reason, the aligned peace treaty must not be able to have too much appetite, and must also choose to withdraw troops.
Similarly, this matter involves more complex issues, involving the rationality and legitimacy of the Mohist family's future benefits to the world.
The formal collapse of Zhou Tianzi's patriarchal feudal system, the complete rout of the surrounding Yidi, and the huge gap between the agrarian peoples and the bone nomads brought about by gunpowder and iron tools all made the concept of "tianxia" lack a more stable imaginative support.
The Duke of Qi Huan respected the king of Yiyi, not counting the state of Chu, the northern Yan State faced Yidi was still strong at that time, and all princes needed to face the possible threat of Yidi, and the concept of "China" was supported by cultural foundation and imagination at that time.
The whole world is not the difference between the king's land and Huayi.
The Mohists support "synonym and unity", but oppose the original meaning of the whole world, because if the whole world is not the king's land, then it is against the truth for the people to divide the land of the nobles.
It is necessary to oppose the whole world and the land of the king; and to maintain a stable community for the future; Beware of the creation of nations among nations, and this is the most difficult and complicated matter to be solved by this time to align the peace treaty and the subordinate princely alliances.
After all, Confucius is a pioneer in private learning, and the development of a complete set of system theories and even the contention of a hundred schools of thought can be traced in the context of the issue of "the world".
The reality before Zhongni was that the etiquette collapsed.
The collapse of etiquette means that the era with Zhou Tianzi as the branch, the same imaginative race that maintains Kyushu, and Zhou Tianzi's divine power and legal principles, will collapse.
In this regard, Confucius thought of a way to retreat back to the era when etiquette did not collapse, happiness did not break, and conquest came from the Son of Heaven, so as to maintain the unified existence of Zhuxia and form an external independent structure that was divided internally.
By the time of Mozi, the collapse of etiquette was more complete, and the patriarchal feudal system could no longer be supported, Mozi's idea was to recognize the established reality and implement the norms of international law, so that "righteousness" and "injustice" could be separated, and the non-offensive was not to maintain the peace of the world.
After the emergence of the suitable, the entire theory of Mohist was revised to a large extent, and a new concept of "synonym" was proposed, and the basis of synonym is that books are the same text, cars are on the same track, weights and measures are the same in the world, and the standards of good and evil and righteousness are the same in the world, forming a closer cultural group.
For example, someone asked Mozi the question "I love the Zou people more than the Yue people, I love the Lu people more than the Zou people, and I love the people in my hometown more than the outsiders".
Zhongni's solution is "conquest comes from the Son of Heaven", so that the world is still the people of the world, and will not be divided, even if there is a division inside, but it still belongs to the "whole world" of the Son of Heaven, relying on the cultural identity of the microtubule Zhongwu to maintain the basic centripetal force of the people in the world.
Mozi's solution was to "non-offensive", to implement the norms of the world and recognize the reality of division between countries, because Confucius's methods had proved ineffective, and it was impossible for the princes to agree, so they would take a step back and admit the reality, and rely on the preaching of "love" and the preaching of the truth to solve the problems of the Zou people, the Yue people, the Lu people, and the Qi people.
The appropriate solution is that it is too difficult to preach, so let's reunify, after reunification, there will be no problem of Zou and Lu people? This problem is too difficult to solve, and instead of solving the problem, we will get rid of the problem itself and replace it with a problem that is easier to solve.
As long as the big "synonym" can be completed, then the world will be one step closer to love. At that time, all that needs to be solved is the problem of "I love the villagers more than the outsiders", and the identity of the Zou people disappeared and became the people of the world.
If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem itself.
In this way, the theory of "righteous war" and "unjust war" must be resolved.
A simple civil war, based on the righteousness of the Mohists, is bound to be unjust, especially the Zhuxia civil war for the plundering of land and wealth, which is the tone set by Mozi, and it can be revised but not subverted on the issue of principle.
However, if it is because the existence of the aristocracy is unreasonable, a unified Zhuxia is more in line with the main purpose of "benefiting the world", liberating the rest of the peasants and industrialists who suffer from the aristocratic system, and using the theories of "the general covenant of the monarch and subjects" and "Taoism and nature" to explain the rationality of the peasants and industrialists to gain power, then this solves the problem of "righteous war", so that what the Mohists do is not a simple civil war between princes.
Therefore, the tone of the alliance this time must focus on this issue and force the princes to admit one thing: the Mo family's war against the Qi Kingdom is reasonable.
How to force the princes to admit it? Then it is necessary to calculate the attitude of each country, to concede the interests of some countries, and to obtain the verbal recognition of the other benefiting country.
This is also the reason why Shi Shi is full of vigilance against the "non-offensive country" faction, and it is also the reason why he believes that "non-offensive" is right in his first speech as a giant, but it does not conform to the current situation and needs to be changed.
He's making corrections.
Because the faction of "non-offensive country" is based on the meaning of Mozi's "non-offensive", it cannot oppose non-offensive itself, but can only oppose non-offensive at this time.
Moreover, because of Mozi's theory and prestige, there is a theoretical basis for the rhetoric of "non-offensive state", and there is also a sufficient population base of yeoman farmers in Sishang, which is dangerous.
After the collapse of Zhou Tianzi's patriarchal system, the situation in Zhuxia was a bit ugly.
The continuation of the non-offensive state will inevitably lead to the complete collapse of the Zhou Tianzi system, and the international law of "non-offensive" and "righteous war" will appear, which may make Zhuxia become "international" rather than "world", so that the Mohists may cause a huge obstacle to national awakening in the future.
At that time, there will be confusion within the Mo family, which is absolutely intolerable.
Therefore, the conclusion of the peace treaty in Qidi this time and the subsequent alliance of the princes must not talk about the issue of "non-offensive", and it must not be the theme of the "Fourth Soldiers' Conference".
Because when he first entered the Mo family, he said that the future of the Mo family was "the sword of the world".
There are two explanations for this.
Appropriate Revised Interpretation.
Originally, Mozi's "non-offensive" explanation.
This makes the situation within the Mo family actually seem more complicated.
They support the interpretation of the sword of the world, so they hope to take advantage of this great victory to quickly resolve the disputes in the world, and they are synonymous.
The princes of the alliance should suppress the non-offensive faction, and they will support the move of retreating from the Qi country, but they may take the "non-offensive" peace with the world as the theme of the alliance. Because the Mo family is quite strong now, it should inherit the ambition of Zi Mozi, be the restraint of the princes of various countries, be the executor of the law of non-attack, be the gendarme of Zhuxia and the criminal officer of international law of non-attack.
That is, this "sword of the world" is the difference between "the righteousness of the Mo family as the righteousness of the sword bearer, and the sword of the people of the world" or "the political subject of the Mo family as the sword bearer, the sword of the princes of the world".
It is suitable to have its own faction, but it is impossible for the Mo family to be truly unanimous and unfactional.
The purpose of aligning the peace treaty is to "convince" the Gaosun line, and not to use non-offensive factions to suppress Gaosunzi.
The theme of the alliance of the princes and the tone of public opinion in the future that will emphasize "punishment of injustice" and ignore "non-offensive" should form an alliance with Gaosun to "suppress" the non-offensive faction, rather than simply persuading.
In other words, the grandson can be reasonable and criticized as a comrade, but the non-offensive faction must be "criticized".
Criticism is not the same as criticism.
Therefore, in order to convince Gao Sun Tzu, we must use the three aspects of morality, interests, and the future situation to prove that it is in line with the righteousness of the Mohists, the interests of the people in the world, and the future situation, and will be greatly beneficial to the future situation.
Only in this way can we achieve our goal and convince this person who is very disciplined but also stubborn.
Only talk about interests, not morality, anyone in the world can talk about it, but the Mo family can't, some princes have long said that the righteousness of the Mo family is sometimes the shackles of the Mo family, for example, Tu Wucheng dragged the public smelting to take advantage of this "shortcoming". If this giant does not teach handouts, then he will be overthrown soon, and after the reorganization of Shangqiu, the giant of the Mo family will inevitably have the right to interpret ideology.
The utilitarian nature of Mohism itself makes it impossible to talk about morality, and it is necessary to talk about real interests, otherwise he will not be supported by most of the practical Mohists.
As for the future situation, it is a psychology that can be exploited behind closed doors, as long as the people present approve of it, and the judgment of the situation has been generally correct over the years, and even sometimes "unpredictable prophets".
