It's not that Zheng Junyi doesn't understand which of these people can be used. Vertex X23US

Now that the Wei and Han coalition forces are besieging the city, the people who can be used are either feelings or interests.

Those who have feelings are those low-level scholars and down-and-out nobles, who have a certain amount of constant property under the feudal system, so they have a certain sense of family and country under the feudal system, as well as loyalty and other ideas to instill these people, these people can be the mainstay of the city, but the number is too small.

The interests are those who are the remnants of Si Ziyang, that is, those who now control the government. After the coup d'état that year, Si Ziyang was killed, and the rest of the party killed the monarch, and now controls Zheng Guoguo's national politics. Now the people of the other six families in Qimu are on Wei Han's side, as long as they attack in, the remnants of the party clan in Si Ziyang will definitely be driven out, and these people will fight to the end for their own interests.

It's just that...... Relying on these two kinds of people alone is really not enough, the number of people is too small.

The hearts of the people are disheartened.

Defending a city is not the same as fighting in the field.

Even the defense of the city before the appearance of gunpowder was different from field warfare.

What is needed in the field is 3,500 soldiers who are trained on a full-time basis, with 350,000 apprentices, to win a decisive victory in front of the battle.

What is needed to defend the city is tens of thousands of people working together to fight to the end on the city wall, which is not a single drum, but three drums, five drums or even a hundred drums.

This is also the reason why he is full of expectations for the Mo family.

When Xu Miao and other three representatives of the ink artist came to see Zheng Jun, Zheng Junyi went out without even tidying up his clothes.

"You're finally going to help the widows defend the city?"

The leader of the Moshi said: "We have to help you defend the city, but to defend the city, and the princes of the world will easily launch an unjust war." ”

Zheng Junyi knew that the people of the Mo family always talked about morality, and he didn't think it was angry in his heart, and said in a loud voice: "Exactly, exactly, it is to easily launch an unjust war with the princes of the world." ”

Xu said weakly: "That day, we asked you why you fought as Cao Di said. It's the same today. ”

"As the king of a small country, you need to understand that if you don't defend the city, you still have to defend the city with the help of agriculture and industry. Everyone seeks profit, and if there is no profit, they refuse to fight, and the common people have no home and no country, so how can they defend? ”

Zheng Junyi is already cornered, Zheng Guo said that it is not big, but it can be said that it is not small, at least it can win and lose against South Korea, although it is a weak country, but it is not willing to die Zongmiao.

Xu Wan's words were very unkind, and the implication was that Zheng Junyi was not even as good as Lu Hou in the Battle of the Long Spoon, and he didn't have the slightest reason for the people in the city to fight to the death.

But now, although this is not to be heard, and there is no such straightforward and faint criticism as the etiquette of respect and humility, he can only accompany: "It's like this, it's like this!" ”

Xu Miao roughly talked about the countermeasures of the Wei and Han coalition forces to attack the city with artillery, and then talked about the key issues.

Zheng Junyi can only keep saying that he has not considered the interests of the people before, and he must change his situation today.

Xu Qiao, like the other two ink artists present, didn't believe Zheng Junyi's words at all.

In terms of age, Xu is not much younger than Shi, in history, he put forward his own opinions on the death of Meng Sheng and the elite of the Mo family in Yangcheng, and finally chose to die first to maintain the righteousness of the Mo family, he belongs to the next generation of Meng Sheng.

But when Shi joined the Mo family, he was still young, and Meng Sheng and others had already become famous at that time, and the Mo family that Xu Xiao came into contact with was the Mo family that experienced the gloomy end of the third army meeting, and finally chose to entrench in Sishang to be the sword of the world.

Shi's extreme distrust of the aristocracy and shameless criticism of the aristocracy made Xu Qiao's generation of ink scholars have no illusions about the princes and nobles at all: it is not that there is no such ink person, but that the ink artists with such illusions have already stood aside after losing in the internal struggle.

What he came into contact with has always been the doctrine of balance of power: such as the thirteen swords of Mozi in order to prevent the application of knowledge to harm the world, such as the Sishang Yishi who was in order to keep the Song State from attacking at the beginning.

Those beginnings created the current Mo family.

The checks and balances of power, the support of violence, the distrust of the oath of the princes and nobles, and the belief that only the force of the people can make it possible to enforce the rules that are beneficial to the world.

This time they came to find Zheng Jun, not out of illusion about the princes and nobles, but to need Zheng Jun to open an opening.

Mohist propaganda methods, organizational skills, and inflammatory ...... These are all clear.

As long as Zheng Jun gives the Mo family a chance to be justified, as long as it opens a small opening, the Mo family will be able to do some big things in Zheng Guo with its organizational strength.

And this mouth requires Zheng Jun to first recognize some of the Mohists' rhetoric, and give a space that the people can believe in and fantasize.

Xu said weakly: "The matter of defending the city needs to win the trust of the people, so that it is possible to make the people believe more, so that they can believe in the reason they are defending." ”

"Now that Wei Han's artillery is bombarding the city wall, we have already said the idea of how to defend the palace, now please take out the gold, silver, jade and bronze of the treasury and your private treasury, and directly compensate the people when demolishing the people's houses and building a new inner city."

"If you can't do that, how can you convince the public that you will do something good in the future?"

"What the people want, this can be discussed by the National Assembly."

"If you agree to what the people want, whether you can fulfill it in the future or not, you need to take out gold and silver to gain the hearts and trust of the people that you have lost for a long time."

The capital is about to be defeated, how can Zheng Junyi still care about his wealth, and said repeatedly: "This is true!" That's right! ”

He took out the Huang talisman to defend the city and bowed: "Zheng Zhi's defense depends on the Mo family." All the uses are from the Mo family. The treasury is open, and the Mo family can take it, as long as it can be held and even the princes come to help, this can be promised. ”

The only thing that the Huang Fu who defended the city could control was a part of the people in the city, such as the private pawns of the nobles and the private property of the nobles.

There is no need for Zheng Jun to say this, and several ink masters also understand it.

All the Mohists needed to do was to gain the power to command the people who defended the city, so as to organize the people.

As for what to do, Zheng Jun will naturally not be able to do it at that time.

After these ink artists left, Zheng Jun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if he could support Yueyu, the princes and Sishang would definitely make moves, and Wei Han might not be able to break the city.

Just when he was happy, a close minister who heard that Zheng Jun had promised the Mo family to "win the trust of the people, benefit the people, and make the people warable" hurriedly came, and knelt in front of Zheng Junyi after retreating from everyone and said: "The monarch is in danger of dying in the temple of Jizong, but he is still happy? ”

Zheng Junyi thought that he was talking about Wei Han's siege of the city, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Mo family is good at defending the city, they have promised to help defend the city, as long as they can last for a month or two, how can Sishang, Chu, and Qin sit idly by?" ”

The close minister said: "The king thinks that the worry about the death of the Jizong Temple I said originated from Wei Han? That's not the case, what the minister is worried about is the Mo family and the people, this is the power of the real Dead Emperor Shangshe Jizong Temple. The monarch actually handed over the right to defend the city and the power of the people to the Mo family, do you think that this Sheji Temple can still be kept? ”

Zheng Junyi chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

The close minister said: "Your Majesty, if you take Zheng as a judge, our close ministers are different from the Qimu nobles. Our power comes from the king, so we can fight to the death. ”

"It is said that the noble ministers can surrender, and if they surrender to Wei Han, they will still be the doctors of one side. Only the king and my cronies and close ministers like me cannot surrender ......"

Zheng Junyi Qi said: "It is precisely this reason, so I handed over the responsibility of guarding the city to the Mo family, so that it can win the trust of the people, and the noble ministers can descend, but I can't." If you agree with this truth, how can you say that what I am doing is wrong? ”

The cronies and close ministers said solemnly: "The inker in the world, the giant has an order, don't dare to disobey." But I don't know if the king is the giant of the Mo family? The Mo family is loyal to the people, believes in the giants, and defends the city and sieges the city, all for its morality and the people, but not for you. ”

"Could it be that the monarch has forgotten the events of the Song Kingdom back then? The Mo family helped defend the city in Shangqiu, and what became of the Song Kingdom in the end? The monarch is not for the king, the people are not for the people, the temple is overturned, and the noble and the low are equal, isn't this the death of the society? ”

The words made Zheng Junyi's heart chill.

What has become of the Song Kingdom now? He knows.

The people are rising, the nobility is powerless, and the monarch is a god ornament, and the root cause of this is due to the fact that the Shangqiu defense battle twenty years ago allowed the Mo family to organize the people who were originally scattered.

What the minister said is right, the Mo family is loyal to the people of the world, and it is the Mo family giant who is ordained, but not his Zheng Jun's courtier.

It's just that the morality of the Mo family makes the Mo man defend the city, not out of the relationship between the monarch and the minister or the love for him, if there is no such morality, what can he make these madmen who shout that they want to choose the Son of Heaven to defend the city?

But the Mohists not only have the righteousness of defending the city, but also the righteousness of the people as the gods and the love of the people......

Seeing that Zheng Jun was already hesitant, the minister said, "Your Excellency, please try to give an example." ”

"If thou wilt keep many slaves and maidservants, and thou wilt work for thy servant, thy possessions may increase and increase thy storenment, and attract the covetousness of thy neighbours."

"Then the neighbors said that you were guilty and wanted to come and rob your property. But this property is not the property of slaves and maids, so they don't want to fight, thinking to whom to be slaves and maids, why should they die? And this neighbor is strong, and you can't beat it. ”

"At this time, there was a slave and maid who was extremely shameless, taking advantage of the danger of others, saying that this property was the income of their labor, and they deserved their share. And take advantage of the covetousness of your neighbors to tell you that as long as you treat your slaves and maids as human beings and give your property to slaves and maids, these slaves and maids will naturally fight to the death. ”

"You can't even beat your neighbors now, and if these slaves and maids can beat your neighbors, then how can you beat those slaves and maids who can beat your neighbors away?"

"If you can't beat it, in the future, those slaves and maids will say that these family property should be theirs, so why should you keep it?"

"Of course, your warehouse has been saved, but is this one still yours?"

"If it goes on like this, it will be beneficial to the people of Zheng, but it will not be beneficial to you."

Zheng Jun took a deep breath and wondered, "How can I do it to benefit me?" ”
