Chapter 111: Betrayal (Part II)

This kind of programmatic content is actually very straightforward for many ink practitioners present.

What did the Chu people do when they attacked Shangqiu twenty years ago?

In addition to defending the city, it also forced a coup d'Γ©tat and reform in the Song State, so that the people of the Song State benefited, and with the help of the opportunity for the people to gather together after the defense of the city, they carried out some moral propaganda reasonably and legally.

It's the same with Zheng Guo today.

If it is said that as long as it is a war, it is unjust, which is not a reasonable morality for the Mo family, who turned defense into attack and began to attack from all sides: if one day the Mo family sent troops to Wei Han and took the initiative to fight, then is it righteous or unjust?

When there is a conflict between injustice and small conflicts, what should come first?

This is a battle of lines within the Mo family.

Therefore, this matter must be made clear.

This time, the Mohists used the slogan of non-attacking soldiers, but this slogan must be clearly stated behind it to revise the rationality of the Mohist morality, otherwise it will have an adverse impact on the situation in the world in the future.

Based on the experience of the Mohists over the years, when is the monarch of various countries most likely to accept the conditions of the people? When there is a danger of losing the country.

When the people are strong, the power of the monarchy and the aristocracy can be easily restricted, especially when there is an organization called Mojia within the people.

Moreover, this incident itself is also an unavoidable question to solve Zheng Guo's dilemma: why did Zheng people defend the city?

In the current situation, the monarchs and nobles are getting richer and the people are getting poorer, and when the time comes to war, it is a bit whimsical to think of letting the people defend the city.

Even during the Battle of Long Spoon two hundred years ago, Lu Hou still knew that he had done some personnel to tell Cao Di, so the people's hearts could be used.

Even worse now.

Xu Miao strongly agreed with the presiding officer's statement, and followed: "Juzi said that we must use all means that conform to the old system or do not conform to the old system to benefit the world and the people. ”

"In Sishang, we can ignore the old rules and turn the world upside down. In Zhengdi, of course, we can also benefit the people as much as possible under the premise of complying with the old rules. ”

"It's the same with non-attacking and defending cities. If the purpose is non-offensive, then no matter how brutal Zheng Jun is, as long as Zheng is a small country, we will help defend the city, which is undoubtedly wrong, and it is also what Zi Mozi opposed back then. The boundary between punishment and non-aggression, each of us should be clear, whether its judgment is in line with morality, lies in the three expressions of Zi Mozi, and whether it can benefit the world. ”

"Now that communication is inconvenient, the order has not yet been issued, but the battle situation waits for no one, so I suggest: we should take this opportunity to force Zheng to change and make it beneficial to the people. If not, then we have no obligation to keep it. ”

"If we enforce the ban now, the people will resent us and think that we are aiding and abetting them to death."

"The scholars understood why they were guarding, for they were guarding their interests, which were the righteousness that came from them. It is unreasonable to accuse the people of treason and injustice. ”

"Besides, it is difficult to hold on to the gentry class alone. Times have changed, and it is no longer an era when more than 100 soldiers and soldiers can defend the city in the field. ”

Xu Qiao's meaning is that now Sishang is unable to quickly issue instructions because of inconvenient transportation, and the incident is sudden, which requires the Mo people in Zhengdi to exert democratic centralism, and on the basis of conforming to the general righteousness and morality, give full play to their subjective initiative and make correct judgments.

Now Xinzheng If the Mo family does not intervene, it will not be able to hold it at all.

The use of violence to enforce the ban on defending the city violates the morality of the Mo family, which will lead to complaints from the people, and the people themselves do not have any desire to defend the city.

If you intervene, you must take this opportunity to learn from the changes in Shangqiu twenty years ago, and force Zheng Jun to accept some conditions for the change of the law that benefit the people, otherwise it will be impossible for the Mo family to abide by it.

After all, the tone was set at the very beginning of this matter: if Zheng Guo did not accept political conditions, then the Mo family would not protect Zheng's independence.

The construction of a new type of defense behind the city wall, which he said before, also requires the Mo family to fully take over the city defense of the city and have the endorsement of Zheng Jun before it can be carried out.

The Mo family defended the city, demolished the house and demolished the house, and it was necessary to "write the main bill", and the war would end in the future and be compensated according to the original price.

The overall battle to defend the city requires the requisition of grain and the mobilization of people's strength, which can only be implemented if Zheng Jun comes forward to express his approval, otherwise it is impossible for the Mo family to demolish the house and build a new city defense.

There are many ink writers in Xinzheng, and it is also possible to organize the people and put forward programmatic conditions for changing the law to force Zheng Jun to accept it, and follow the example of the Song Dynasty state affairs of that year.

The premise is to accept the tiger talisman of defending the city first, and organize the people in a reasonable and legal name, as for what to promote after the organization, it is not something that Zheng Jun can control.

After discussing for a while, everyone quickly made a vote, and finally agreed with the opinions of the host and Xu Xiao, and elected three people as representatives to enter the palace to negotiate with Zheng Jun, and take over the defense of Xinzheng under the premise that Zheng Jun promised to change the law afterwards.

…………

In the Xinzheng Palace room, Zheng Junyi was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Before the Battle of Daliang City, Zheng Guo turned his back on the Wei-Han-Zheng Alliance, and took advantage of the opportunity of Wei Han to send troops to Luyang to besiege the Korean capital, so that Han Hou Xue that year led to a series of subsequent events.

Of course, Han Houxue was not killed by the Zheng people, but the tension and uneasiness caused by the siege were only partly due to it.

Zheng Junyi never expected that Wei would actually carve up Zheng Guo with South Korea.

Zheng Guo and South Korea do have a blood feud, but Zheng Guo has always held Wei Guo's thighs and used the contradictions between Wei and Han to survive in the cracks.

For the sake of Wei, Zheng Guo did not hesitate to go to war with Chu back then, the prince was set to flee, and Zheng Guo publicly said that he would take him in, all in order to curry favor with Wei, tell Wei Guo Zheng Guo's loyalty, and pray that Wei State could guarantee Zheng Guo's interests.

Zheng Guo is the rope that Wei pulls South Korea, which Zheng Jun understands and knows, but it is precisely because of this that Zheng Guo's independence should be guaranteed.

After the change of Si Ziyang, Wei took the opportunity to annex a lot of land in Zheng State, and Zheng Junyi could only express his approval.

Because Zheng Guo is divided into three points, the Yang Yu Party of the Seven Mu killed the monarch and supported Zheng Jun Yi to take the throne, and the rest of the Six Mu and the Yang Yu Party have blood feuds, and there is nothing to say about surrendering to the Wei State.

The basis of Si Ziyang's ascension to the throne is revanchism, when Han Zi killed Zheng Jun, Si Ziyang stood out under this background of revanchism, and since then has pursued a policy of never tolerating war against Han.

In fact, at that time, Zheng Guo's smart people understood that even if Wei and Han were allies of the Three Jins, Wei Guo was happy to see Zheng Guo fight South Korea, but he was embarrassed to say it.

Si Ziyang ascended to the throne with the help of the blood hatred of revanchism, and Wei was very happy.

is openly mediating, and secretly supports Zheng Guo a lot, which is used to contain South Korea. At that time, the Sanjin Alliance had not yet collapsed, and Wei was embarrassed and even less likely to explicitly support Zheng Guo to weaken Korea, which required Zheng Guo's smart people to make the right decision.

Si Ziyang was killed, Dazai Xin's faction was killed again, and the rest of the six Mu fled from the capital and returned to the fiefdom, each of them either voted for Han or Wei, which coincided with the defeat of the Great Liang City of Chu and the division of the prince, but there was no vote for Chu.

However, the rise of Si Shang, the formation of a new army by the Chu State to quell the rebellion of Prince Chen Cai and the Wei State urgently needed Korea as an ally, which made Zheng Guo's previous strategy of hoping that Wei State would protect Zheng's independence completely failed.

At the moment of failure, the Mo family came forward and expressed their willingness to help Zheng Guo, which was really dozing off and sending pillows.

It is impossible to fully fall to the Mo family, so at the beginning, the negotiation between Zheng Guo and the Mo family was also to grasp the truth that Mozi stopped Luyang from attacking the Song Dynasty: the son is not good, and there is no need for neighbors to fight.

What Zheng Junyi considered, or the reason why the Mo family moved Zheng Junyi, was "to wait for the situation to change".

Xinzheng can't hold on to Zheng alone, but there are not only South Korea and Zheng Guo in the world, so as long as Xinzheng can be held for a period of time, there may be interference by various countries, and then Wei can borrow the slope to get off the donkey, so as to stop South Korea from swallowing Zheng.

It can only be said that Zheng Jun has not learned the theory of contradiction and cannot see the situation clearly at this time.

Originally, Wei had hegemony, but this hegemony needed the support of South Korea, so Wei was willing to mediate the contradictions between Zheng and Han, so as to maintain his control over Zheng and Han.

With the Central Plains War a few years ago, the hegemony of Wei was lost, and the strategic contraction was turned, the rise of Si Shang and the recovery of Chu made the contradiction of Wei and Chumo the main contradiction, and the contradiction within the Three Jin Dynasty was a secondary contradiction.

Zheng Jun never thought that Wei Han would join forces to carve up Zheng Guo, and now that the cannon was five miles away, he was also completely panicked.

Wei Guo's three sins against Zheng Guo are actually unreasonable, and there is no excuse for the crimes that he wants to add.

What made Zheng Jun at a loss was that Zheng Guo originally hoped that Wei would adjust, but now Wei was unreliable.

wanted the Mo family to help defend the city, and the Mo family proposed a non-offensive alliance Zheng Guo was also very happy, thinking that this was a lifesaver, but the Mo family directly said that if they wanted to join the non-offensive alliance, they must carry out political reforms, otherwise they would not need to talk about it.

The incident happened suddenly, and the ink scholars in Xinzheng have not yet accepted the charm of defending the city, and the people in the city do not want to fight at all.

The fine work in the city and the people of Liumu back then were also preaching: give up defending the city, and the fiefs and private fields of the scholars and low-ranking nobles will not be moved.

Moreover, Zheng Junyi was also the one who killed the king, and there was a lot of propaganda that Wei Han came to avenge the Duke of Xuan, especially when some fugitive Liumu and the losers of the political struggle wore filial piety this time, and the three armies were vegetarian, shouting outside the city that this was not an invasion of Zheng State, but revenge for the king, and the removal of the monarch killers made the people in the city disheartened.

The common people, who have nothing to do with revenge, do not want to fight.

Meat eaters can fight the taxi class or not.

There are also some people who are extremely confused: they abandon the defense of the city because they are disloyal; But after the death of Si Ziyang, the remnants of Si Ziyang did kill the monarch to let Zheng Junyi take the throne, and now Wei Han came to avenge the Duke of Xuan, and it seems that he is also a chaotic minister and thief if he continues to defend the city.

In fact, according to the Mohist saying that righteousness is profit, the most lethal thing is actually the sentence "the fiefdom does not move".
