Chapter 19
Autumn and winter, in a few months, Gander lost more than ten pounds, and read books that are not known to be several times the weight lost, but fortunately, it is already a paper book, if it is a bamboo slip, I am afraid that I will have to see a few more rooms.
In addition to attending classes in the school every day, I went to study by myself in the library library, and when it was time to rest, I ran to look at the stars, staring at the stars night and night, and sighed at the vastness of the universe.
In the past few months, he has had a good life, several books he has written have passed the review, he has received a lot of money, and he has some fame and respect in the astronomy school circle.
One day when the winter moon was approaching, Gander came out of the school and was about to go home, where the coachman was already waiting, and the two men were already acquainted.
It's just that he doesn't talk much these days, and Gander is either reading in the car or thinking about things, and the coachman probably sees too many such people, so he doesn't make noise.
When the carriage crossed the street, dozens of gorgeous carriages came on the opposite side, obviously in the style of the Chu Kingdom.
The men of the garrison on both sides of the road wrapped red red curtains around their arms and maintained order, as someone was gathering there, shouting at the carriages, "Do not interfere with the Song Kingdom!" ”
"The people are the gods, and the affairs of the Song land are decided by the people of the Song land!"
The carriages did not stop, and passed through the streets at a rapid pace, led by a troop of Sishang cavalry.
Gander looked strange, he had been immersed in knowledge lately, and he didn't listen much to the outside world, and he couldn't help but ask "What's going on?" ”
The coachman didn't look back, and said very casually, "The messenger of Jingzhou, because of the change in Song Land." ”
Gander then remembered some rumors in Yangxia before, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that there will be another war?" ”
The coachman smiled, "Whether we fight or not, it's not up to us." But if those unrighteous kings have to fight, they can't be afraid. I don't want to fight, I won't need to fight, but it will affect the carriage business. But if you really want to fight, if you want me to say it, I will fight hard, and the world will be unified as soon as possible, wouldn't there be no need to fight? I don't think those princes and nobles have the heart to benefit the world, and if they really want to benefit the world, they might as well surrender......"
Gander smiled secretly in his heart, the people in his heart really talked about his own reasoning, and he was sure that what he did was to benefit the world. But if those princes and nobles are afraid that they still think that Sishang's disobedience is harmful to the world.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of some trivial things in life, so I asked, "Food prices won't rise, right?" Do you want to buy some food and stock it up? ”
The coachman laughed and said, "Sir, I'm too worried." If you really want to fight, who dares to raise prices too much? Is it true that those people in the Pingguang Department and the Supervision and Inspection Department only receive money and do not do things? Besides, who can raise the price? Don't you see the grain piled up in a few large granaries...... The wine is still brewed. ”
This was the first chaos that Gander had experienced in Sishang, and it was not yet known to the extent to which Sishang had mastered and controlled the situation.
But when he saw the coachman say this, he also put his mind at ease, and said in his heart that what he said was also right, the world will settle down sooner, and I can also put my mind down and concentrate on studying the stars.
…………
The heart of Pengcheng.
Shi is presiding over a meeting in which the Seven Enlightenments participated, and now the Seven Enlightenments are no longer those people back then, there are only three old people left, and the rest are middle-aged people who are about the same age as Shi.
Time is inevitable, and no one is the same.
In addition to him, the giant and the Seven Enlightenments, there were several other people, each of whom was looking at a piece of material in his hand.
Most of the people present had already seen these materials, and they were about the Song Kingdom.
After waiting for a while, after everyone put the materials away, he said, "This time Xiong Su sent someone, I think it's just delaying time." The interior is still unstable, Xiong Su is also old, and his body is now sick, so in my opinion, he is unwilling to interfere with the Song Kingdom. ”
"Of course, whether we are willing to interfere or not depends on our attitude. The more ruthless we are, the more he will be afraid. Fighting, it's not good for him, a few years ago, we played a prestige in Qidi, and he also has to understand that even if he wins the new army, the new army foundation he has accumulated will be destroyed, and the nobles inside will be happy. ”
"He just sent people to scare us, it seems that if we really fight, Chu Wei Han and others will send troops, and if they can divide the Song Land at that time, such as Zheng Guoshi, it will be the most beneficial for him."
"If he wants to scare us, we can't be afraid."
"As for whether we should follow the example of the land to seek the Song Kingdom, my opinion is still the same as before, don't do it."
"Song Di is a powder keg. Swallowing in our mouths, we also feel uncomfortable. ”
"Song is in the middle of the world, the world is decided, and Song must be. The world is divided, and the Song may not be divided. So the key lies in the future of the world. And the future of the world is still the strategy of the original birds, first Chu and then the Central Plains. ”
"I'm still the same sentence, if the family surnamed Mi can rely on hundreds of nobles and more than a thousand scholars to govern the vast land of five thousand miles, then why can't we tens of thousands of Mo people?"
Everyone does not object to this, this is the established strategy that has always been established, it has never changed, and it has been laid out.
The meaning of the suit is obvious, if the Song Dynasty is in turmoil, it will also be won by the local people, as long as foreign countries do not interfere, the Mo family does not need to interfere.
A large number of inkers, a large number of people close to the inkers, a group of farmers who thirst for land, a large group of developed industrialists and merchants, a large number of displaced people who have flocked to the city because of the loss of land, some old nobles who have changed their identities, and some big careerists who want to use the power of the people to get rid of the rest of the nobles.
As long as it doesn't interfere...... The new government of the Song State must still be pro-Mo, and if it wants to use the power of the people, it has to let go of some shackles on the people, and the stronger the people, the more beneficial it will be to the future.
Moreover, the Song Kingdom is in the middle of the world, and it has not died until now, which is already a miracle. The world will be stable in the future, and the Song State will definitely be the first to be pacified, and it is the least likely to be independent, so now there is no need to follow the example of Fei Guoshi and send troops directly, but it is most advantageous to keep the Song State close to the Mo family and carry out appropriate changes.
In the future, the affairs of the Chu State will be certain, and the Song State will not say that it will be passed on, and it will be about the same.
The repaired roads, the developed water transportation, and the mass base of a large number of people close to the Mo family are really going to come to that day, but I am afraid that it will be over before the countries can react.
A person on the right side of the lower head said, "Since this is the case, I think I can dry the messenger of the bear doubt first." The Qin people will also send people to greet them with great fanfare when the time comes, and they will be shown to Xiong Wei and Wei Zhen. ”
"When the winning division met with Heze, he didn't notify us in advance, and later announced that they had gunpowder and flint guns, so that Wei and Han thought that we had formed an alliance with the Qin people, and borrowed our strength to stabilize the Xihe border and expand westward."
"Today, we should also let the Qin people come back. The Qin people definitely hope that we and Chu, Wei, and Han will fight around the Song land, and the more chaotic the Central Plains, the more peaceful the Qin land will be. Shengqi Wu Qi and others are all scheming people, and they will definitely learn from the snipe and clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman. ”
"He wants to be a fisherman, but he still needs bait for fishing, so he has to come up with something."
"Therefore, we will talk about injustice against Chu; Talk about non-aggression against Qin. Talk about difficulties with Chu and Qin. ”
As soon as I said it, everyone present laughed.
The Qin State must hope that the Central Plains will be in chaos, not only the Qin State, but I am afraid that the Zhao State will also want the Central Plains to be in chaos.
But if the Central Plains wants to be in chaos, something has to be said.
In alliance with the Wei people, the Wei people did not believe it, and the Qin people themselves did not believe it.
The Mo family talked about difficulties to the Qin people, and everywhere revealed that they did not want to fight, wanted to attack peace, wanted to be stable, and wanted to solve the affairs of the Song State through the alliance.
The Qin State needs to take a stand, at least to take a firm stance and say that it will inevitably support the Mo family, and may not morally express the righteousness of supporting the people as gods, but it will definitely be shown to the Mo family in terms of vertical and horizontal cooperation.
Let's show that I will fight, it's okay, I will stab Wei in the back, you can do it with confidence, in order to make the Mo family firm in the idea of fighting, and even persuade to fight.
Even if the Central Plains fights out the brains, the Qin State will go to Qinchuan for a cat, and when they are exhausted, they will cross the Weishui River and recapture the West River, wouldn't it be beautiful?
Or maybe the Mo family won a complete victory, and then all countries could only rely on the Qin state, and gently and skillfully used the power of the Mo family to take away the hegemony of Wei Chu, so that the Qin state could exert more influence on the Shandong countries, and it was likely to become the leader of the anti-Mexican alliance.
In any case, it was the most beneficial for the Qin State to fight in the Central Plains, and no matter who won or lost, they would all benefit.
And the king of Chu also has his own small abacus, it is best not to fight, it is best to be able to divide the Song Kingdom among the three kingdoms, so as to let the Mo family serve as a buffer between Wei and Chu, and maintain a tripartite equilibrium situation.
The king of Chu is unwilling to fight, and the nobles will jump when the fight starts, and the previous changes may be in vain, and the state of Chu will really return to the situation of being beaten by the Central Plains all day long thirty years ago.
This allows the Mo family to have enough room to operate.
The conditions put forward by the Chu State are very tempting, without fighting the Three Kingdoms to carve up the Song State, it is better to introduce Korea again, so as to make the situation in the Central Plains even more chaotic. And the Mo family can also get the rich western part of the Song Kingdom without fighting, and from the perspective of the Qin people, the Mo family should not refuse.
Because the Mo family's mind has never been the Song State, but the world, they will not allow the Song State to split and create a chaotic situation in the Central Plains that is unable to go south, which the Qin State does not know, and does not even dare to think that the Mo family is ready to use a knife against the Chu State and is ready to overthrow the Chu State in one fell swoop.
But the thoughts of the State of Qin and the thoughts of the State of Chu are easy to guess.
The Nanzheng region needs to cross the Qinling Mountains, and others don't know how to defend the city, but they still know that it is powerful, and it is easy to fight Nanzheng through the Baogu Valley, and it is easy to bite the teeth and not to say, and the benefits obtained are far inferior to the west and east, and Nanzheng is not a weak Shu State now. The change is in a period of repetition, and it can't withstand failure, and it's not worth it or daring.
It is even more unlikely that the king of Chu will go to fight the Song State at this time, because the Wei State ...... Five years ago, when the Qi State and the Mo family were fighting fiercely, he first made peace with the Mo family because of the chaos of the Zhao State.
The king of Chu was also afraid that he and the Wei people would just form an alliance, and the Qin people over there would be backstabbed and Wei Zheng would learn from the same example as last time, or take advantage of the weakness of the Chu State to consolidate the Daliang defense line and seize Yuguan to cut south.
Who will believe in any covenant in these years...... If it was four years ago that the Heze Hui Alliance, the Mo family would continue to adhere to the covenant of non-attack, and even come forward to formulate a new law similar to the etiquette law of the world, perhaps it would be possible for 'the gentleman to deceive him in a way, and it is difficult to disregard it in his own way';
Besides, the Song Kingdom is easy to fight, but Sishang is not easy to fight, if all the money he changed the law was thrown in the Song Land, the nobles would be happy.
Twenty years ago, when it was appropriate to send an envoy to the Chu State, it was said that the Chu State was defeated by the gold and jade, and it is still the same now. Xiong Suspicion should be very clear about how much strength he has in his hands, it is nothing more than trying to pull Qi, Wei, and Han to scare Sishang.
was scared, three or four families divided the Song land, and they were all very good. Wei Han and the Mo family had a lot of disagreements, and some of them were chaotic when the time came.
If you can't be scared, you just don't fight, let the Mo family occupy the Song State, and the Wei State must be the first to be nervous. There is Qin in the west of the river and Sishang in the east of the river, and the king of Chu can also calmly change the law and continue to oppress the nobles in the country.
What the Mo family did in Fei five years ago also made it easy for Chu to think that the Mo family would draw gourds in the same way, but they didn't expect that the Mo family was thinking that as long as the Song State remained neutral and close to the Mo family, it was best for the local people to get enough strength to restrain those careerists in the Song Dynasty, or at least exercise the experience of popular uprisings, the people of Zheng were very skilled in this, and the Song State was still a little worse. Sishang didn't want to take Song Guo into his hands at this time.
