Chapter 31: A Strong Man Breaks His Wrist

In the mansion of the imperial father Yue Ling, the imperial father Yue Ling looked at every henchman around him, and said with a smile: "I didn't know that there were still people among you who had the heart to benefit the world. When the world is in turmoil, is it so rare that even the faithful and righteous are so rare? ”

The gunshots outside continued, and the imperial father Yue Ling understood that it must be the news of the dew.

The Dai clan hit him seven inches this time, and the most dangerous time for the coup d'Γ©tat planned was the day before the coup was launched.

Earlier, if there is a movement on the other side, you can also deal with it.

Later, the opposite side has no time to move, and he can take the initiative.

It happened the day before he was about to initiate such a thing, which made it extremely difficult for the emperor's father Yue Ling to do.

He didn't expect the Mo family's strength and organizational ability in Shangqiu City, or he knew something about it, but he still underestimated it.

It must be the news that leaked last night, and it can chaos the city like this in just half a day, and the imperial father Yue Ling only thinks that where is this Shangqiu of the Song Kingdom? This is clearly Shangqiu in Sishang!

Everyone was silent, and after the emperor's father Yue Ling scolded, he also knew that he couldn't rush to find out the traitor at this time, so he said: "This matter has been leaked, what can I do?" ”

In the morning, while he was still planning, four bombs were dropped in his courtyard, and two carriages filled with gunpowder blew up the walls of his courtyard, which made him extremely panicked.

Everyone and he thought that this was the Dai family and the Mo family preparing to kill him first, and in the chaos, they could only choose to let the private soldiers defend first.

I didn't think that the other party just shook a shot, and instead of besieging his mansion, he went directly to the palace, where the battle was going on, but the command was paralyzed, and listening to the intensity of the cannon and muskets, he could also know how many people were there.

After thinking about it, he said: "There is no way to do anything in the city, so why don't you take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city immediately." ”

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, knew that the main force of his private soldiers was outside the city, and the situation in the city was now uncontrollable.

He asked, "What about after you get out of the city?" ”

The henchman said: "After leaving the city, gather a large army, and never besiege Shangqiu." ”

"First, there must be people from the Mo family to help here, in the past, tens of thousands of Chu divisions besieged Shangqiu and couldn't go down, and we must not be able to break the city under siege."

"Second, if Shangqiu is obtained by the Dai clan, it will be difficult for us to attack again. If the siege is unfavorable and the city is under the fortified city, the army's spirit is easy to disperse and cannot last. ”

"In my opinion, it is better to return to the fiefdom with private soldiers, join forces with nobles everywhere, do not surround Shangqiu, do not approach Surabaya, and surround Shangqiu with fiefdoms."

"Don't attack, don't fight, don't fight, now the fiefdoms everywhere are changing, suppressing and slaughtering the people who have bad intentions there."

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, this henchman's idea was very much in line with his heart, and it could be regarded as a remedy for making mistakes.

Now it is impossible to succeed in the city, give up Shangqiu City, if you gather private troops to attack Shangqiu, I am afraid that you will not be able to attack it for a while, and it is likely to suffer heavy losses under the city.

Those private soldiers can maintain his rule while controlling Shangqiu City, but if Shangqiu City is taken into custody and defended first, he also knows that he will not be able to capture Shangqiu.

If you return to the fiefdom and maintain a strategy of not attacking, fighting, or fighting with Shangqiu, and engaging in two Song kingdoms, it is the most suitable.

The power of the nobles in the various fiefs is strong, and the so-called outside must be settled first, and the potential rebels in the fiefdom can be eliminated first.

Let Kaishangqiu, Taoyi, and other cities that are impossible to control, and where the power of industrialists, merchants, and yeoman farmers are strong, return to the fiefdom to fight.

The larger the city, the stronger the power of the people, but the fiefdom villages were the least affected by various currents of thought.

Seeing that the emperor's father Yue Ling nodded, the henchman immediately said: "If the Dai clan takes Shangqiu, Shangqiu can be defended, but it is difficult to fight. We can't take the city defended by the people of Shangqiu, but if it is a field battle, they are powerless."

"When the time comes, if you don't attack Shangqiu, they won't dare to attack you. Occupy various fiefdoms to delay time. ”

"This matter has nothing to do with the Mo family, and all countries will inevitably be shaken by this matter."

"If you retreat to the fiefdom, divide into two Song kingdoms, and form an alliance with the rest of the nobles, occupy most of the Song land, and Shangqiu cannot send troops to attack, then all countries can respond."

"If Sishang does not send troops, it will be difficult to defeat you if you only rely on a few cities such as Shangqiu, and it will take at least a year to two years to organize troops to go out."

"If Sishang sends troops, then the countries of Wei, Chu and Han will inevitably send troops, and then they can be used as foreign aid."

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, lamented: "I'm only afraid of this, Song is divided into two places." Wei Chuhan and Sishang were anxious, and when the time came, their great powers conspired to divide the Song land into two, which was my fault. ”

"The purpose of my rebellion in Shangqiu is to kill people with the sword, to force those common people to do something out of the ordinary, and to shake the nations. But now if it is divided into songs...... Countries are only afraid of other ideas, and may not choose to compromise with the Mohists. ”

"I have long said that what is divided into feudal systems and rituals to rule the country, and what people choose the virtuous as the Son of Heaven for the gods, they are all the same and the same! They all have the intention of annexing the United States, and they will not let the Song Kingdom go because of the difference in systems......"

The strategist said: "Don't be impatient, the lord, this matter is not something that Wei Chuhan can divide if he wants to make peace with the Mo family and divide the Song Kingdom." Wei Hanchu doesn't want to fight, we can force them to fight. ”

"After returning to the fiefdom, immediately purge the people of the fiefdom. But whoever claims to be equal, and who is noble, who is silverfish, who divides the land, who is virtuous, who is noble or not, who is not always noble, who is not always cheap, who is not always cheap, shall be killed. It's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to miss one. ”

"Including those who have made their identities public, they will all be hanged, and then they will write an essay to denounce the evil of the Mo family."

"The lord should not forget the administrative method of the Sishang Mo family, they not only say that the people are the gods, but they have always liked to incite and borrow the power of the common people, but they are also the most easily swayed by public opinion."

"When the time comes, even if it is a person who doesn't want to fight and just wants to divide the Song Kingdom, but when the time comes, the people will be in Si, and if he doesn't fight, there will naturally be people who are willing to fight and will gather the hearts of the people.

"Proposals such as retiring and compromising will inevitably be regarded as 'harming the world' by the people of Sishang, everyone wants to fight, and people like Yan Zhishi can't fight if they don't want to."

"When the time comes, the Sishang army will attack, will Wei Chuhan let the Mo family monopolize the Song land? This is to use the Mo family to force Wei Chuhan to send troops, and if you want to force the Mo family to send troops, you have to use the administrative method of Sishang. ”

"The people's participation in politics can certainly make the people strong, but there will also be backlash, and the people's will will influence the policy, so it is not something that can be controlled by the people of Yan Zhishi."

"As long as Wei Chuhan participates in the war, Qi Yue will send troops, and even if Sishang is good at fighting, he may not be able to win. And at that time, we will kill so many people, the Mo family will definitely not agree to kill the soldiers, and they will never give up until they fight to the last person, because if they give up, then it will be equivalent to losing their so-called righteousness of benefiting the world, and they will no longer be able to win people's hearts, and Sishang will be in chaos first. ”

"If Wei Hanchu wants to balance the Mo family, he must leave the Song Kingdom, because if they can destroy the Song Dynasty, it seems that the Mo family is not guilty of destroying the Song Dynasty, they need to keep the Song Kingdom in order to seek the righteousness of etiquette and law, so that they can confront Sishang."

The emperor's father, Yue Ling, was overjoyed when he heard this, and clapped his hands and praised: "This is a great goodness, but I didn't think of it." ”

"As long as we kill a lot of people, the Mo family will inevitably fight with us endlessly, even if it is such a thing as dividing the Song Dynasty, which is very beneficial to Sishang, the people of Sishang will definitely not agree. Who let the Mo family always borrow the power of inciting the people, this is their weakness. ”

"As long as they don't divide the Song, Wei Chuhan will definitely shed the last drop of blood for the Song. Otherwise, Sishang has the only land of Song, and Wei Chu and Han Qi don't know the danger of losing their lips and teeth? ”

"Moreover, when the time comes, we will do an anti-ink essay first, and we will not ask Wei Chuhan to send troops, but wait for them to take the initiative to send troops."

"We don't ask for it, if they send troops, it will be on the grounds that they agree with our anti-Moxiwen text. When the time comes, even if you don't want to fight, you have to fight! ”

"Ask them, they push back, but they ask for bribes from the cities; If you don't ask them, they will also send troops, and they will not send troops to save the Song Dynasty, but to send troops against Mexico. ”

"That's a great word! Great goodness! Your advice is worth the seal of a thousand households. ”

The henchman thanked him and said: "I spoke out not for the fiefdom of Yulu, but for the righteousness in my heart." Those who work hard govern people, those who work hard govern people, there is a difference between the noble and the low, and the principle of heaven and earth cannot be shaken. ”

"I have long felt that the words of the Mo family will cause chaos in the world, I only hate the short-sightedness of the princes, and I can't work together, take this opportunity to take revenge in my heart, and fulfill the righteousness in my heart, as it should be."

"The lord must remember that when everything is undecided, and it is difficult to decide, what the enemy wants, we are not good, and that is often right."

"If the Mo family wanted to take the Song Dynasty, they would have been able to do it a long time ago, but this time the chaos in the Song Dynasty has lasted for a long time, and the Mo family has been suppressing it, and it can be seen that they are not willing to fight now."

"If they don't want to, we can't go their way, and force them to fight."

"It's not necessarily the best way, but it's not a bad way."

A few words made the emperor's father Yue Ling like an empowering, and suddenly woke up to many things.

The policies, strategies, and plans of the Sishang Mohists are unprecedented.

It's not that people's planning ability is higher than theirs, but it's a completely different way of doing things and organizing mode from the old era, which makes it difficult for the emperor's father Yue Ling to deal with it.

If they are all in the old era, most of those people in Sishang are just middle-aged people, engaging in intrigues and tricks hidden by etiquette and rules, and I am afraid that no one can be the opponent of the emperor's father, Yue Ling.

But now it is not a person who is fighting, but a completely different thing from before, and the imperial father Yue Ling has no experience.

Those ink masters who are active in Shangqiu may not be first-class talents in Sishang, but it is extremely difficult for him to fight.

Some talents who were originally only second-rate can make first-class figures like the old emperor Yue Ling helpless under the Sishang model.

Passively, the method that this henchman said is indeed a good way, and if he can't take the initiative to deal with Sishang's plan, then do the opposite, what Sishang does he just can't do.

Today's thing is like this, Sishang doesn't want to fight, then drag Sishang into the war, can't let Sishang lead the way, and turn the passive into the active.

He can be regarded as a strong man with a broken wrist, and there are still many forces in the city, but it is obviously difficult to succeed, so it is better to abandon these forces in the city and flee from Shangqiu.

Stay in the city, if you fail, you may die directly, the family will be destroyed, and there will be no chance of trouble. The Dai clan will not let him go, and even if they don't kill him, they will expel the state of Chu and make him go into exile.

After thinking about it for a while, the imperial father Yue Ling considered the power of the fief and the current situation of the Song State, and felt that the strategy of relying on the fief to surround Shangqiu as mentioned by his henchmen was appropriate.

The most rampant place for Mojia activities is the city, and the power in the fiefdom of the village community is very small.

The first is that the peasants of the fiefdom have little contact with outside affairs, the second is that the more the city develops, the more easily accepted this doctrine of equality and virtue, and the third is that the cost of organizing the people in the city is lower.

Since the Mo family and the Dai family made a preemptive strike, Shangqiu City had to give up.

Now the Song Kingdom is roughly divided into several parts, Pengcheng Peiyi Surabaya line, all the way to Taoyi, almost is already the courtyard of the Mo family in Sishang, in and out at will, the city does not obey those feudal lords at all.

In the vicinity of Shangqiu, after the coup d'Γ©tat 20 years ago, homesteaders were the mainstay, plus a large number of handicraftsmen, merchants, and landless farmers in Shangqiu City.

With the exception of these two, most of the remaining fiefs were controlled by the nobility.

The activities of the Mohists there were not very rampant, and a strict economic policy made the development of industry and commerce there poor, and there were not enough people who recognized the doctrines; The second is that the nobles can continue to maintain the system in their own fiefdoms.

Abandon Shangqiu and return to the fiefdom, Shangqiu City was given to the Dai family, and the Dai family could only control the hundred miles around Shangqiu and the Dai family's fief.

Along the coast of Surabaya, where the Dai clan has no jurisdiction at all.

Shangqiu is a big city, second only to Taoyi, which has developed rapidly in recent years and is an important node on the northern route of Sishang trade.

Tens of thousands of households in the city, plus tens of thousands of households in the surrounding areas, and most of the people themselves are original Chinese people, with very good military qualities.

However, the emperor's father, Yue Ling, was sure that at least the Mo family did not come forward, and Shangqiu City was more than capable of defending itself, and the attack was insufficient.

If he was able to unite the rest of the nobles in the fiefdom and follow the example of Zheng Guo when he divided the Song State into two, Dai would need to prepare for at least a year if he wanted to attack him, and the people might not be willing to fight.

The people of Shangqiu City have now become war-weary, one is getting richer, and the other is that most of them are short-sighted, and they only feel that they are benefited, and they do not have much desire to rule elsewhere.

As long as there is a delay and all countries will respond, then they can help.

If it were an ordinary person, perhaps the first thing to do at this time was to send henchmen to Chu Wei and other countries, follow the example of crying Qin Court back then, and kneel down and beg other countries to send troops.

But the emperor's father, Yue Ling, decided to use it in the opposite way, not only did not ask them to send troops, but also made a sufficient gesture, with the most resolute anti-Mexican gentleman's attitude, holding high the banner of anti-equality, anti-virtuous and observance of the law, so that the countries were in an embarrassing situation.

If you don't send troops, if the Mo family really occupies Sishang, Wei Chuhan will be very uncomfortable, the battle of Jincheng back then has already understood the truth of cold lips and teeth, if such a thing happens to the Song State in the middle of today, how can you ignore it?

If you can send troops, but you don't ask for help, you don't plead, and you don't have a city as a bribe, what is the reason for sending troops?

There is no other reason than to oppose equality and morality together.

In that case, it would be a never-ending war, and there would be no possibility of carving up the Song Kingdom.

Or, Sishang defeated the Wei, Chu, Han, Qi and Yue coalition forces, the world was shaken, no one dared to fight, Song Guosheji naturally perished, and his family's grand dream was certainly gone.

Or, Sishang is defeated by the Wei, Chu, Han, Qi and Yue coalition forces, retreats to Sishang, Sishang builds more fortresses, and the people are fierce and good at fighting, so naturally they can't attack it, then the Song State, as a buffer between the countries and Sishang, will inevitably be left by the countries.

Because once the time comes, the distrust between the countries will become the mainstream, and it is impossible for anyone who wants to swallow the Song State by themselves, and the imperial father Yue Ling feels that he can survive in the contradictions of various countries and strengthen the power of the Song State at that time.

There is another possibility...... That may be the last thing the imperial father Yue Ling wants to see.

The coalition forces and Sishang fought in the land of the Song State, and the entire Song Kingdom was scorched earth and became a battlefield for various countries. Sishang can't win the coalition army, and the coalition army can't win Sishang, and the entire Song State fought to the end, and there was no capital to rise, and more than half of the casualties were killed......

But at least, it's just a possibility, and I still have a chance to fight. Even if the common people of the entire Song Kingdom were buried for their ambitions, it would be worth it.
