The Qi army that Mingjin withdrew was only a failure in this wave of attacks, and the regrouping of the team will continue.

Nearly 2,000 people tried to attack, without the support of artillery, relying on pestle shields and short swords and spears, using the siege method that had been outdated twenty years ago, to impact the city defenses that were most suitable for the era of inferior black powder, and the consequences can be imagined.

Wailing was all over the field, and I don't know how many people lay within the three hundred steps of this death-strewn pretence.

Sima Chang, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, listened to those miserable Qi Yu voices, and sighed: "I'm afraid the world is going to change this day." Twenty years ago, the war was not like this. ”

"At that time, following the nobles, the nobles' chariot rushed, and we didn't care where the enemy was, just run with the chariot. If you are far away, although there are feather arrows, you don't want to be the same as now, and you don't know where to be killed by an iron bullet that fell three or four hundred steps. ”

In fact, the world has changed, otherwise the war would not be like this at this time, but the so-called world of this Qi army commander is not like this.

The Qi pawn also said: "Just look at this, if you want to capture Yingyi, you have to kill a lot of people." ”

Sima Chang smiled disdainfully: "Capture? Where can it be attacked? You and I don't want to die and want to go home, aren't others afraid of death and don't want to go home? To this day, there is nothing left to fight, we are just dying for Gongzi Wu. If we don't die and defeat the Mo family, he will have to die. ”

After a simple description of this simple truth, the people around him suddenly let out a burst of clear and enlightened oh oh sounds.

Such a simple truth can be understood by these soldiers who have lived in the village community since childhood, and no matter how difficult the truth is, there is no need for it.

But not all these people who are lying on their stomachs and pretending to be dead only use this truth to interpret their peaceful behavior of pretending to be dead.

For example, on the other side hundreds of paces away, there was also a person who was pretending to be dead, but he was only by his side, and there was no rest of his companions.

Occasionally, when the cannon sounded, he would quietly look up at the movement in the distance, and said abruptly: "Master said, everything in the world is more precious than life. If it is good for life, it will be done, and if it is harmful, it will be stopped. If everyone in the world is precious to themselves, why are there so many wars? ”

"The master learns from Yang Tzu, and Yang Tzu's learning is the truth. It's a pity that the Mohists think that they can use what kind of rationality to launch the most reasonable world and make the world on fire, which is ridiculous. ”

After the man who pretended to be dead finished speaking, he shook his head, looked back at the Qi army that was organizing the second wave of attacks, and scolded: "For the benefit of one person, and the lives of ten thousand people are harmed, and the trip is also a bad trip!" Won't the Tian family die? ”

Since "everything in the world is nothing more than life, if it is beneficial to life, it will be done, and if it is harmful to life, it will stop", then pretending to be dead on the battlefield is naturally peaceful.

Linzi is rich and culturally prosperous, in addition to the Mohist doctrine spreading in Linzi, Yang Zhu's doctrine is also popular in Linzi.

At this time, Huang Lao's five virtues and the sense of heaven and man had not yet been integrated with Confucianism, and Confucianism declined after the death of Zhongni, or it was completely difficult to integrate the era of the development of productive forces and the world of princes.

Decades later, Meng Ke once said that the learning of the world does not belong to Yang, but to Mo.

Later, some people commented: Yang Dang is lawless, frugal and wasteful. The ancients Yang and Moselu, Mencius resigned and refuted......

It is all about the fact that the Yang and Mo families have become prominent scholars in the world, forcing Confucianism to refute it.

Especially with the many public debates between the Mohists and the Yang-Zhu School, the followers of the Yang-Zhu School have become more and more numerous, of course, more than the number of Mohists.

Because of this troubled era, because of the development of productive forces, because of hundreds of years of repression of etiquette, there has finally been a huge rebound, and when the dawn of human power first appears, it will inevitably contain too many extremes.

Selfishness, self-interest, self-esteem, and noble life are also a way to fight against feudal etiquette, just as the Renaissance in Europe in later generations also opened the dawn of resistance to dark feudal etiquette and morality from extreme carnal desires, sexuality, selfishness, and greed.

The contradiction between Yang Mo is very deep, and it is not a difference between a dime a dime and a dime to benefit the world, but it is fundamentally based on thinking about the world.

The Mohists believe that reason can know the will of heaven, and reason can deduce the most suitable system and decree for the people of the world.

Yang Zhu believes that even the rational world is terrible and cannot be beautiful.

This doctrine was born from the Taoist Taoist nature, Yang Zhu's so-called "Mrs. does not lose a slight, then there is no Yao Shun, everyone is not good for the world, then there is no trouble; If there is no rebellion, there will be no chaos at that time; Without Yao Shun, there will be no disadvantages in the future. ”

In other words, don't think about benefiting the world, because as long as you do it, even if the original intention is good, as long as you do it, it will cause harm and chaos.

It is impossible for people to know the will of heaven, and it is impossible to rationally deduce what the most suitable world looks like, so the creation of the state from the beginning was a mistake.

Yao Shun is for the benefit of the world, and the world is one, changing the original situation of "Taoism and nature" and "small countries and widows" in the world, what is the result? As a result, because of the emergence of the state, it led to the emergence of the Tsuki.

Without it, there would be no suffering in the world, but the root of the suffering in the world can be traced back to the Yao Shun era, which changed the state of "Taoism and Nature" and made the country appear.

The Mohists believe that the state must exist, at least at this time, and that as long as the most reasonable system is deduced by reason, then the existence of the state can make the world beneficial.

This is the most essential disagreement between Yang Zhu and the Mo family, and it is also the fundamental reason that leads to the inextricable debate:

Yang Zhu believes that everyone is self-interested, my property belongs to me, my house belongs to me, the wind can enter the rain, the prince cannot enter, and don't think about anything to take away my property for the sake of benefiting the family and the country, then the world will be rich.

If the nobles don't take my property, and I don't take other people's, how can the world be poor?

Everyone is noble for themselves, everyone is noble for life, let me fight I will not go, the so-called "its righteousness does not enter the army", then how can there be a war in the world?

Your Mo family said today that in order to benefit the world, you can let the country continue to exist, and you can also force people to serve and use taxes to take other people's property. When one day your Mo family is gone, no one will mention the benefits of the world, but the world's habits of forcing people to serve and using taxes to take other people's property have not disappeared, so what you do cannot benefit the world.

The Mohists believe that we force people to serve today and use taxes to collect other people's property, which is to better benefit the world, and to infer rationally, our approach is the most "utilitarian" and the most efficient optimal solution, and although the idea of your Yang Zhu school sounds very good - the basis of the Mohist theory of love and love is that love for oneself and love is only the highest form of love for oneself and the most efficient optimal solution under rational deduction - there is no contradiction in purpose, but there are too many differences in the process.

Yang Zhu believes that the existence of the state should be abolished in one step, and that any authoritarian existence, including compulsory military service and taxation on the grounds of benefiting the world, should not be abolished.

The Mohists believe that the existence of the state cannot be abolished now, and that authoritarianism must not only exist but also be more powerful and centralized, otherwise it will not be able to benefit the world.

This is a very interesting reality, Confucianism is declining, the world will be chaotic, productivity will be improved, and human nature will awaken, and it is inevitable to take the two roads that Yang Zhu and the Mohists must take, at least in principle, they can only choose one of them, so it has led to the situation that "the words of the world do not belong to Yang, that is, to Mo".

It's a good future to speculate.

If the words of the world are attributed to Yang Zhu, then the Renaissance of "decay of etiquette", "moral degradation", "full of carnal desires", and "unleashing extreme nature against extreme repression" will begin, and the greed, desire, selfishness, self-interest, survival, profit, and wealth will be released, and the desire for gold will surpass the original morality...... This kind of unleashed desire and humanity will spontaneously unite the people of the world, and will blow up the "rites" of the feudal system, and re-start thinking about the relationship between morality and reason after the excessive pursuit of individual freedom under the human nature.

What the Mohists want to do is to use reason to deduce that today, etiquette is no longer applicable, and to use rational inference and material basis to create a new moral standard, and this moral standard is difficult to continue without material support, so it is necessary to use the three words of benefiting the world, so that the people of the world under the organization of the horse pioneers, not rely on spontaneity and consciousness and the natural hostility to the rites after the release of human nature, but rely on the leadership of the Mo people in a purposeful and organized manner, smash the rules and regulations of the past, and create a new world.

The former may require hundreds or thousands of years of natural evolution, while the latter may only take a few decades, especially in the face of the reality that the material base is constantly following suit.

Under this disagreement, the "fugitive" who had learned some knowledge of the Yang Zhu school in the market was only disgusted with the Mo family, but he did not hate it.

For the nobles behind him who forced him to go on the expedition, he was full of hatred.

Everyone's righteousness is different, and Yang Zhu's righteousness is a noble life, so this fugitive can also escape with peace of mind, and there will be no shame.

The truth he used for peace of mind was not the same as that of those fugitives hundreds of paces away, but the effect was the same.

In the debate outside the battlefield, his master could argue with the people of the Mo family, and he was eager to fight each other with swords to correct his righteousness.

In the life-and-death struggle on the battlefield, he just sighed that the righteousness of the Mo family was not necessarily right, but he was full of hatred for the enemies of the Mo family.

The enemy's enemy may not necessarily be a friend, but sometimes it is more reliable than the enemy, although the fugitive of the Yang Zhu school muttered about the wrongness of the Mo family's truth, he still eagerly hoped that the Mo family would win this battle quickly.

Although the Mo family does not have the ultimate noble life, the saying that being born and living is the power of the Emperor of Heaven has led to the Mo family not killing innocent captives, which he is still clear.

He agrees with the Mo family's statement that "life is the right of the Emperor of Heaven", but he hates the Mo family's behavior of forcing the people of the world to recognize that "life is the right of the Emperor of Heaven".

Because this itself violates the essence of "life is the right of the Emperor of Heaven": the Emperor of Heaven can take away life, and the Mo family is not the Emperor of Heaven, so they have no right to use this as a reason to force military service, because serving in the war may kill people, which is not in line with the righteousness of your life, and will only be counterproductive.

He felt that this was like the Mo family saying that our Mo family wanted to make the world free of beatings, and we hate beating people the most, and then those who like to beat people with a pair of fists will not beat people, which makes no sense.

Yang Zhu's righteousness is not wrong, it is not unreasonable, but Yang Zhu did not teach the fugitive master, and the fugitive master did not teach him one thing: I will not harm others, and others will not harm me; I don't take what others have, and no one else takes what I have. But if I don't hurt others, others will do me harm. What should I do if I don't take anything from someone else, but someone else comes and robs me?
