Chapter 287: Thirst for Wine (1)
This is his strategic idea since he took refuge in the Mo family, and things have come to this point, and they can no longer be accomplished by covert influence.
Since he joined the Mohists, valued the organization of the Mohists and the principles of the Mohists, and valued the action after the reorganization of the upper and lower synonyms, then it is necessary to pick out these things to gain support.
Otherwise, he is alone and cannot do anything.
These are the words he has been holding back for a long time, and he chose to say it today, not only because the time is ripe, but also because Mozi is already old.
He had to ensure that before Mozi's death, the ideas of the Mo family's top leaders were unified, and he relied on Mozi to suppress the internal divisions, so as to develop as much as possible during this chaotic period and create an irreversible general trend in the world in the future.
The difference between Song and Chu is not only the difference in size, but also the huge difference in the contrast between the power of the nobility and the power of the monarch.
In the Song Kingdom, there was no need to rely on the contradictions between the monarch and the nobles, and the people of Shangqiu could directly make a big move during the siege.
In the state of Chu, it is necessary to rely on the defeat of the state of Chu and the urgent need for change, relying on the reform will inevitably be obstructed by the aristocracy, and relying on the gradual promotion of the lowly people's organizations under the Xuanyi Department of the Mo family to suppress the situation of the nobility together with the monarch.
A temporary ally, possibly a future enemy.
But what is not afraid of the most is the future, because as long as the Mo family has a long-term strategy, the speed of development is far from being comparable to that of the monarch.
Infiltrating the Chu State is far more likely than infiltrating the Three Jin Dynasty, and under the Three Jin Dynasty changes, it is already difficult to have the opportunity to develop secretly in a balanced situation.
Just when everyone was still pondering these words, a whistle sounded in the distance, and after a while, an ink man came and said, "Chu Youyin Zhaozhi, ask to see the giant, and it has arrived." ”
Everyone was stunned, and just after talking about the Chu State, they didn't want Zhao Zhiai to come, so they couldn't help laughing.
Mozi waved his hand to let the ink master leave, signaling that he knew, and then said to Shi: "What you said, how to do it, it still needs to be detailed, and the radical and the enlightenment will gather to discuss." ”
In other words, it is actually a suitable idea that is roughly recognized, and as long as you can come up with a good enough plan, you can always try.
Not necessarily agree, but at least not against it now.
Shi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "I'll do it as soon as possible." Today, Zhaozhiai came to ask my Mo family to help Chu, or to support the weapons defending the city. ”
"The king of Chu is already panicking, and he must gather all the forces he can rely on to hold his throne. In the battle of Shangqiu, I think that the current king of Chu also knows the reputation of my Mo family. ”
"Just ......"
He glanced at Mozi and said slowly, "It's just that if you want to do what I say, you must be weak. But at the same time as being weak, now it needs to take the opportunity to infiltrate the Chu State. So, it's about the future, not just the present. ”
Mozi smiled: "Your plan may not be agreed, nor will it be opposed. But since there is a possibility of consent, it must not get in the way of your plan. ”
"When I look at today's events, I will first decide according to your plan."
When everyone saw Mozi say this, they all agreed, and everyone was here to discuss the countermeasures and bottom line for Zhaozhi Ailaipei's help.
In the general direction, it can be regarded as agreeing with the appropriate plan.
…………
Right Yin Zhaozhiai is not the first time to see the ink, he participated in the battle of Shangqiu, this time Chu was in turmoil, their family stood on the side of the prince and supported the enthroned King of Chu.
This time, Wang Ziding fled, causing Jin and Zheng to join forces to enter Wang Ziding, and the situation in Chu was really ugly.
On the way to Pei, Wuyang had been lost, Yangcheng Jun could not hold Yuguan, and the two Chu nobles were killed in battle and beheaded.
The State of Wei has announced that it will support Wang Ziding, the Qin people are afraid that they will return in vain when they fight Xihe, and the State of Qi is really not strong even if it is pro-Chu, and it has just been violently beaten by the Sanjin Dynasty a few years ago, and it is still breathing.
In the battle of Shangqiu, the Mo family showed enough skills to defend the city, and made a covenant with the previous king of Chu to benefit the world.
The area around the Great Wall of Luguan in Chu cannot be lost, once this place is breached, the king of Chu can flee directly, and these families who support the prince will also be implicated.
As Shi inferred, the king of Chu also understood that the state of Chu could not be defeated, and once it failed, the undercurrents that seemed to be stable in the country for the time being would gush out, and those nobles who supported Wang Ziding would inevitably take advantage of the national disaster to wave their flags and shout for Wang Ziding, and turn their backs on Chu independence.
Zhao Zhiai came to Pei County this time, knowing that it was impossible for the Mo family to send elites to help the Chu people defend the city, which was very obvious.
However, if you can get the gunpowder support of the Mo family, if you can let the Mo family come forward to improve the defense of Yingdu City as soon as possible and strengthen Luguan Fangcheng, you may not be unable to agree.
It would be best if the Mo family could come forward and help carry out some changes in the land directly under the jurisdiction of the King of Chu, but only technical changes.
Gunpowder thunder is a sharp weapon to defend the city, which is known to the Chu people who have experienced the battle of Shangqiu, and it is also hyped in the "newspaper" of the Mo family.
And the gunpowder weapon itself was an important factor in promoting the defeat of the Central Plains.
The improvement of the defense weapons made it impossible to storm the city, and it was only possible to besiege it.
The siege will be tired, it will give the reinforcements a chance to win the decisive battle under the city, and it will also give the reinforcements more time to assemble.
The siege will inevitably lead to the impact of domestic production, and the conscription of peasant soldiers to besiege the city for a few months is the limit, otherwise there will be a food shortage when you return.
The technique of gunpowder siege has been hidden, and this kind of shield strengthened while the spear remained unchanged, which increased the weight of the previous soldiers.
It's just that Sanjin and Zheng drilled a loophole, leaving the Mo family with nothing to say: Entering the prince's decision, this is not an unjust war, even if it is not a righteous war, but the Mo family seems to have no reason to stand on the side of the Chu State.
After all, Sanjin still released a signal, the three-year appointment has not yet arrived, if the Mo family is trustworthy, it may not be that they will not participate in the war after three years.
Zhao Zhiai also hopes to take advantage of this loophole, even if he doesn't get weapons directly from the Mo family, he can also let the Mo family sell them to the Song State and then buy them from the Song State.
The appearance of gunpowder and the night in Shangqiu left a deep impression on Zhaozhiai, and Zhaozhiai was full of confidence in the kind of weapon that was like thunder and purple lightning.
The king of Chu also attached great importance to this visit of Zhaozhiai, and in fact, the king of Chu was helpless.
The new monarch ascended the throne, the country was unstable, and there was a younger brother abroad who had the right to inherit, and the nobles around him had ill intentions, and few could trust him.
In order to facilitate this visit to Zhaozhiai, Lu Yanggong, an important feudal lord at the border of Chu, also came forward in person and wrote a handwritten letter for Zhaozhiai to hand over to Mozi.
Duke Lu Yang is responsible for the defense of Lu Pass in Chu State, guarding the entrance to the Nanyang Basin, it can only be said that fortunately, Duke Lu Yang supported the prince's ascension to the throne, otherwise the King of Chu could have fled directly.
Lu Yanggong and Mozi have a very close relationship, and they have met with many people in the Mo family, and when Lu Yanggong wanted to invade Zheng Guo, Mozi came forward to obstruct it and said something very "reasonable".
Lu Yanggong felt that these words could now be used to persuade Mozi.
Since Zhao Zhiai came, the disciples of the Mo family who stayed in Pei County also had a special person in charge of hospitality, but they only said that the giant and the leaders of the Wuzhi sect had gone out, and they didn't know when they would be able to come back.
He didn't rush either, knowing that there was no rush in this matter.
It wasn't until the evening that everyone in the Mo family returned, and they didn't know what they had been discussing for so long.
After meeting, they each greeted each other, and Zhao Zhiai said that many things after Shangqiu were also old feelings, and then handed over the letter written by Lu Yanggong to Mozi, saying: "The old man has a letter, ask me to pass it on." ”
Mozi took it and opened it, and the first sentence at the beginning of it was "Did Jun Shangji stop me from attacking Zheng back then?" ”
With just one sentence, Mozi smiled, and said in his heart that what he said was now returned to himself after all.
When Duke Luyang was going to attack Zheng Guo, Mozi happened to travel with his disciples near Lu Pass, that is, at that time, Gongzaoye became famous in the first battle and was better than Duke Luyang.
At that time, Mozi asked Lu Yanggong, saying that now in your fiefdom, most of the capital is attacking the small capital, and the big family is attacking the small family, killing the people, and plundering cattle, horses, dogs, pigs, cloth, silk, rice, millet, goods, and wealth, so what should I do?
Because under the feudal monarch system of the Chu State, the Duke of Luyang is a real power feudal monarch and has military obligations to the king of Chu, but he has the right to govern his fiefdom, and the king of Chu has no right to govern, and even has the right to go to war.
Lu Yanggong said that since they are all my subjects, I will definitely punish those who take the initiative to stir up trouble.
Mozi seized this loophole of Lu Yanggong and told him that you said that the world is all the ministers of the Emperor of Heaven, and if you attack Zheng Guo, isn't this equivalent to most of your territory attacking a small city? Wouldn't the Emperor of Heaven punish?
Lu Yang Gong was also interesting, and immediately told Mozi, "Didn't you say that the conquest was unrighteous all day long? Zheng has been in turmoil in the country, killing the monarch, and the nobles are in civil strife, isn't this unjust? Wouldn't it be in accordance with the will of heaven for me to attack Zheng Guo?
Mozi also followed Lu Yanggong's words and asked rhetorically: "It's like there is a person here, his son is violent, strong, and unsuccessful, so his father whips him." The neighbor's father also raised up a stick and struck him, saying: 'I struck him in accordance with his father's will.' Isn't that ridiculous! Everyone is a minister of the Emperor of Heaven, why do you Lu Yang teach others for the Emperor of Heaven? You don't understand Tianzhi, Tianzhi said that Zheng Guo must be punished by beating? ”
Now holding Lu Yanggong's letter, seeing Lu Yanggong talking about dissuading him from attacking Zheng back then, Mozi naturally knew what Lu Yanggong wanted to say.
Now that Chu is in turmoil and the inheritance is in crisis, it is also a family affair in Chu. Since everyone is a minister of the Emperor of Heaven, this matter is a family matter, so what qualifications does Sanjin have to manage? Sanjin is not the father of Chu State.
Back then, you dissuaded me from attacking Zheng Guo, and I will return these words to you now.
Mozi smiled bitterly, thinking of his previous words, just to dissuade them, he didn't believe in the punishment of the Emperor of Heaven, where would he think of this day?
As the so-called poverty is to not interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, develop independently, love and not attack, and fight the world.
Da is to conform to the will of heaven, crusade against injustice, the world is great, change customs, morality is high, and Kyushu is a happy land.
Although today's Mohists are not "attained", they are also happy to interfere in the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty.
The so-called Tianzhi, how to say this is reasonable. Of course, Lu Yanggong didn't dare to say that he knew Tianzhi, but Mozi dared to say it, and he always dared to say it.
Seeing that Mozi had finished reading the letter, Zhao Zhiai bowed and said: "Chu internal affairs, what qualifications does Wei Han Zheng have to manage?" Besides, the war broke out again, and it was the people of the world who suffered, this was not provoked by the Chu State, Sanjin and Zheng, isn't this harmful to the world? ”
