Chapter 163: The Decree of Injustice (II)

After writing this letter, he ordered someone to send it to Pengcheng quickly.

He expressed his attitude as the deputy second giant and the seven gods to express his support for the issuance of the unjust decree, which was the first attitude to be stated.

This attitude does not indicate that there will be some rift between some radical people within the Mo family and him.

The purpose of expressing this attitude is to achieve unity within the Mohists, and to highlight the importance of the Mohists' "righteousness" and their incompromiseability on the issue of "righteousness".

However, the expression of this attitude must also be followed by a series of future implications.

Once the order of punishment is issued, if Tian Qing Tian Wu is not captured in the decisive battle against the Linzi army in the future, then even if the war is not over, the conditions for peace talks with Qi must be added to the order and executor who called out the order to massacre the city.

If you can't catch it, you need to make a psychological preparation for a long-term war with Qi after breaking the Linzi army and even breaking through Linzi to force Qi to accept.

In terms of the external situation, the powerlessness of the Wei State can already be determined, but how much impact and shock will such a thing as breaking through the capital of a country have on the princes?

The nobles fought each other, and Han Hou killed Zheng Bo, in the eyes of the princes, this was just a personal feud between families, which was understandable, and at most accusatory.

But if the Mo family, who shouted the equality of the nobles and nobles, broke through the capital of Qi in the name of righteousness and shot Tian Qingtian Wu, it would not be as simple as accusations among the princes of various countries.

The next five years at most may be the last chance for the Mohists to develop with peace of mind, and perhaps this will require extensive mobilization and the Songun system after the war, as well as a thorough propaganda of the Mohists' true one-day purpose slogan.

When there are hundreds of people, you can shout for righteousness.

When the strength is several counties and two counties, you can shout about the world.

This mention of the sword of the world was originally a slogan to persuade Mozi before, but he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't want the Mo family to be the supervisor of the princes of the world at all.

Originally, his plan was to take advantage of the victory of the First World War to stabilize the north, take advantage of the struggle between the centralization and decentralization of power in the Chu State, and take advantage of the historical trend of the checkmate of the King of Chu in a few years at most, to make a big event in the Chu State, and then completely reveal the ambition of the Mo family to one day.

It's just that if such a thing happens, under the premise that the injustice order will inevitably be issued, it will be much more difficult to do what you have to do in the Chu State in the past few years.

If we do not explain the essence of the expansion of the classical militaristic state, and we cannot educate the people so that they can still believe in the possibility of love for all people in the world, the propaganda of the Xuanyi Department after this massacre will inevitably set such a tone.

But to talk about the essence, even if we don't talk about the purpose of the Mohists, some people who have read the Mohist articles will naturally think that since the Mohists say that the essence of brutal war is the issue of land ownership, then the Mohist way of doing things to treat the symptoms and cure the root cause must be to solve this essential problem.

He wrote this letter, not only to set the tone of propaganda for the Xuanyi Ministry, but to let the people understand the "essence" of the war - although in essence war will still occur under private ownership, but the initiator of the war has changed from the landed aristocracy to the big bourgeoisie that has not yet been created at this time - but under the limitations of this era, it is still easy for the people to understand that these hatreds and disputes in the world arise because the nobles want to get benefits and the monarch wants to get benefits, not because the Qi people hate the Fei people and the Qin people hate the Jin people.

It is also to make the high-level Mo family think about the consequences of this incident, and the preparations to be made for these consequencesSishang has not yet been fully mobilized, singing songs, drinking wine, and signing this order, it is necessary to be prepared in case Tian Qingtian Wu cannot be captured in the battle and completely break through Linzi, then more troops, supplies, supplies, and logistics are needed; Cadres who were originally planned to be used in Huaibei, Donghai and other former Yue regions this year were transferred to Qi for long-term confrontation and land reform; Bring all the attention to the direction of Yue Guo to the side of Qi State...... And so on and so forth, this is just for this year, not for the next few years.

Righteousness comes first.

There are things that can be compromised, and there are things that cannot be compromised. The Mo family has come to this point, and it is no longer possible to compromise on this matter, and a large number of radical young people themselves are already a little dissatisfied with the Mo family's slightly conservative strategy of making a fortune in recent years.

The herald had already left, and Shi felt that his words were not fully clear, so he rewrote another one, writing extravagantly and explaining the problem as clearly as possible.

…………

Takejo.

This important city, which has been built in the nineteenth year of Lu Xianggong, is now like hell.

In the past, Zhong Ni passed by here, and his disciple Ziyou was the commander of Wucheng at that time, Zhong Ni saw that the city was singing and dancing, and the common people played the piano and sang, like a gentleman, so he joked, "Kill chickens with a knife?" ”

The allusion to killing chickens with a knife came from Wucheng, and Zhong Ni, who liked to joke with his disciples afterwards, also told the second and third sons of the disciples around him, I joked with you before, Ziyou was right to do this.

The geographical location of Wucheng is dangerous, in the past, Wu went north to interfere in the internal affairs of Lu, and after capturing Wucheng, he could go straight to Qufu.

After the Sandu, the Jisun clan gave up Feiyi, and finally usurped the country, and Wucheng also changed from the southern gate of the Lu State to the northern gate of the Fei State.

It has been decades since Zhong Ni saw the prosperity of Wucheng culture and joked that he used a knife to kill chickens, and after a series of wars and changes such as the encroachment of the Jisun clan, the relocation of Luhou, and the destruction of Wucheng in the battle of Mojia Lushui, Wucheng was still a prosperous city with a large population a few days ago.

Only now, the crying, the smell of blood, the flies flying in the sky and the white wriggling maggots on the corpses have made this city a ghostly forest.

More than 14,000 people were slaughtered, more than 6,000 houses were burned, thousands of women were raped, and the bodies of many children were reduced to ashes along with the thatch.

The remaining women in the city were too old and weak to pick out the bodies of their families for burial.

When the righteous division of the Gongzao Metallurgical Department and the division of the capital of the Fei Kingdom entered Wucheng, it was already a few days after Wucheng was slaughtered.

Before entering the city, many young soldiers of the Volunteer Division rushed out of the marching line with their mouths covered, squatting on the ground retching.

The smell of bloody rotting human flesh was like a latrine that hadn't been dug for years, and suddenly someone had broken open the dry shell of the skin, allowing the smell to come out.

It was a summer day, and the buzzing of flies in the city even drowned out the cries of the women, and as soon as they entered the city, they stirred up a field of flies.

The soldiers of the righteous division couldn't resist the churning smell and vomited for a long time before their noses got used to the stench.

They were all young people under the age of twenty, and they were the first batch of young people to grow up after the Mo family gained a foothold in Sishang.

The education they received from childhood was love, at least they knew that it was wrong to slaughter the city.

But when they really stepped into the battlefield and really saw this tragedy, they realized that the righteousness of the land of Sishang was nothing but obscene to the world.

When a young man who has been taught that love is right since childhood, seeing the tragedy of this massacre, it is like a person who has been accustomed to the sun rising in the east and setting in the west since childhood, and suddenly one day sees the sun rising from the west and setting in the east.

They believe that people should respect life, at least that way, as individuals.

Human nature is like plain silk, they grew up in the twenty years after the Mo family in Sishang, and their perception of "people" is completely different from the perception of people by the nobles of the world.

Now this one was born in the Tai Extinguishing Ming and Zeng Point; Confucius once lamented the prosperity of culture here, and joked that the city where chickens were killed with cattle knives was full of dead bodies, but there were few people who wore linen and wore filial piety, because most of their houses were burned, and they couldn't even get sackcloth.

Holding back the stench of more than 10,000 people decomposing after death, Gongzaoye stood in the middle of the road and asked a few soldiers to go to the ruins of a nearby house to see if there were still people there.

A few soldiers walked over, and there was a strange thud, like a dull gourd being trampled on, and a black, foul-green juice spurted from the strange sound.

Gongzaoye knew that it was the sound of the corpse being trampled on after the decomposing body, and there was a cavity in the human body, and the cavity would first mold and ferment a large amount of gas, which would make the dead body swell and burst. He has traveled all over Hebei and Jiangnan over the years, and this kind of banging sound can often be heard in the years of the great wilderness and after the war.

A veteran who has experienced many wars opened a corpse, and the face of the corpse could still be seen clearly, the meat was not completely rotten, but it had already grown black-brown mold, just like his own steamed bread and dry food had grown hair for a long time.

The body of the man was gently taken away with both hands, and the rotten flesh and bones were separated, and the sticky flesh in his hands was rotten flesh, and a few maggots dragged their long tails down from the rotten flesh on their hands, shaking their fat bodies and burrowing into the corpse.

It's a dead woman.

The veteran wiped her hands in the ash pile next to her, but her eyes were fixed on the thatch that had been reduced to ashes, and she thought, maybe her child was in the house. Otherwise, why do you have to crawl into the house when you are dying?

As far as his eyes could see, the veteran finally found the answer in his heart, a baby who had been burned to black, holding a clod of earth in both hands, probably because it was too painful to burn, and his body curled up uncontrollably.

The veteran swallowed a mouthful of saliva that kept gushing out because of the stench, and wanted to vomit a little, he once ate a delicacy, that is, the toad by the Surabaya River, first threw the eggs of birds by the Surabaya into boiling water to make poached eggs, and then threw down the live toads, these strong toads would hold the eggs that became poached eggs because of the severe pain, and they became one.

Now the burned baby, like a boiled toad, clasped his hands around the unburning clods of earth in the room, which seemed to be colder than fire.

The old soldier walked over and broke the baby's hands with all his might, rubbing the rotten flesh of one hand, but he couldn't break it.

Xu is strength was too strong, and the burned and rotten arm was broken by the veteran, and the veteran took half of the baby's arm and cried out.

Before the expedition, his youngest child played with his military medal at home and refused to let go, he also broke the child's hand hard, and said with a smile to his wife that this child is really energetic, and he will be a good soldier in the future.

But now, he took the arm of the dead baby that he had broken, and cried, "Why are you so strong, why are you holding so tightly?" ”
