Chapter 138: The Unclear East (I)

The Mohists talk about the Heavenly Will, which is the rule of the universe, and those gods and ghosts that were revised with the death of Mozi were adapted to natural philosophy that relied on mathematical principles, so naturally they did not have the ability to retreat from the sun in the legend.

Moreover, even if it was Lu Yanggong's retreat, it was also explained by the Mo family: Lu Yanggong was at war with South Korea, and the eclipse was in the evening, and the Koreans thought that the sky was about to set, and Lu Yanggong knew that the sky was a solar eclipse, so he waved it. After a while, the solar eclipse receded, and the Chu army thought that Lu Yanggong would retreat from the sun, and the gods descended to earth, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they defeated the Korean army......

As for the truth or falsehood, the previous generation of Lu Yanggong, who used to take Mozi as his husband, has already passed away, and Mozi, who can be asked about this, has also passed away, so it is naturally subject to the explanation of Mozi's most trusted disciple.

There was no solar eclipse today, and there were no once-in-a-lifetime natural wonders, and the sun soon set on the side of the mountain with the rules of the Heavenly Will.

The righteous division and the Qi army, who had already achieved a great advantage, seemed to have some tacit understanding, and at the same time Mingjin withdrew his troops, and each withdrew from the land of one arrow - now the so-called land of one shot - and stopped to rest. Otherwise, there would have been far more casualties from stampedes or accidental injuries at night than from the afternoon fighting.

After a little counting, the exchange ratio of the afternoon battle reached five to one, and this was still because the Qi army had its back to Jishui, and many of the scattered troops had nowhere to escape and were regrouped.

The battle in the afternoon was not too fierce, the Mo family lost more than 500 people, and the Qi army lost nearly 3,000.

Among them, the Qi army that died under the copper cannon was actually more than 200 people at most, and more of them were killed and injured by the subsequent infantry assault caused by the gap in the formation caused by the copper cannon bombardment.

Master Mo Jiayi used the most stupid tactics that even Doctor Pingyin felt could see clearly, and he was stunned to make such an exchange ratio, which made Doctor Pingyin's despair even worse.

When the sun had completely set, both sides lit bonfires, and the bronze cannons that had been ringing all the time were like sleeping beasts no longer making a sound.

The Qi army, which had been easily able to rest, gathered around the campfire, cooking porridge and rice in the crockpot they carried with them, not daring to recall the battle in the afternoon.

The battle in the afternoon was really not fierce, but for the Qi army on the front, it was still a nightmare that they did not want to recall.

Many Qi soldiers who had not participated in the battle of the most defeated soldiers saw this kind of tactics for the first time, and it was easy to catch the copper cannon without bombardment, but what they were waiting for was the volley of muskets in turn, and then the spearmen of those righteous divisions burst through the gaps in an array and widened the gaps.

Once there is a gap, the Qi people in the array cannot see the comparison between 60,000 and 40,000 on the entire battlefield, all they can see is that the partners next to them are either dead under the cannon or under the gun, and finally they are left with five or six spears in front of the righteous man, each of which may stab themselves, and there is no other way but to retreat.

But if everyone runs away in the back, it's fine, if the formation behind is still maintained, there is no place to retreat, so you can only throw away the spear and crawl on the ground to both sides, just hoping not to be trampled to death......

The five brigades of the Qi army have all wavered and retreated, if it were not for the reserve brigades behind to make up for the front line to maintain the front, if it were not for the Mo family's side not to continue to send people to expand the gap, I am afraid that the battle in the afternoon would be extremely tragic.

In the middle of the bonfire, there was a burst of singing next to the bonfire outside the Mo family's camp opposite.

The song is so familiar.

There are Linzi dialects, Pingyin dialects, Junan dialects, and Jimo dialects...... All kinds of accents, without listening to the content of the song, can stimulate nostalgia, as if these soldiers have returned to the harvested fields and the spring fields to be planted.

The songs floated higher and higher in front of the mile-long military formation, over the salty wind that blew from the East China Sea.

"The East is not clear, and the clothes are turned upside down. Turn it upside down, call it from the public. ”

"The East is not dawning, and the clothes are reversed. Turn it upside down, and order it from the public. ”

"Fold the willow garden, the madman Qu Qu. If you can't stay overnight, you can't sleep hard. ”

This is a song often sung in the countryside of Qidi, and it is usually hummed when ordinary women are at home, especially the night before these soldiers are called out for the war, when they comfort their sleeping children and put on their clothes before leaving, such songs echo among the villages and communities of Qi country.

Working for the Gongtian Society and the gentlemen, the dog-legged dogs under the doctors barked wildly, making the busy people turn their clothes upside down.

Coat.

Bottoms.

This can be reversed, because the time of work is too early, so early that the sky is not yet bright, and before the means of oil extraction are transmitted from Si to Qi State, who can light a fat candle unless a gentleman or doctor? With that bit of fat, it is better to moisten the dry lips of the children who are waiting to be fed and may not be able to eat meat once a year, where is willing to use it for lighting.

It can be reversed, because those dogs are urging too quickly. They were busy dressing here, and they were already kicking the tattered door with whips, so that they could hurry up and get to work, and not lose time.

Serfs are not slaves, serfs have their own land, but they still have to serve the lord for free, this is the feudal system, otherwise what do the nobles eat and wear, and who built those bright houses? Who dug those summer ice cellars? Where did the corn and deer breasts that piled up in the yard come from?

If you don't have crops, you can't take 300 crops?

If you don't hunt or hunt, does Hu Zhanerting have a county quail?

A song of "The East is Unknown" in a woman's mood, singing Qi people burst into tears.

It is always said that women are foolish.

Because of this, they don't know what "etiquette" is, what is "loyalty", what is for the Qi country, for the prince, for the doctor, for the lord......

They are only for their husbands, and they do not see the glory of their husbands who are loyal to the country, who are victorious for the country, and who are the lords......

All they saw was that their husbands were called up to work in the East before they knew it; It's just that when her husband was in the East, he was whipped with a leather whip by the lord's overseers, and they were disgusted that they were too slow to do things; It's just that her husband can't tell the difference between day and night, and every moment is in a panic.

Besides, the princes have kingdoms and doctors have families, and the overseers shout in the highest voices, saying that this is for the country and the family, but for whose country? For whose home?

A song in the East, the sky is not yet clear.

So there are "Cutting Tan", "Shuo Mouse", "July", and "Paradise......

There were no women in the army, but there were many women's voices on the side of the righteous master.

When they sang "The East is Unknown", they used the Qi language, and to the Qi people's ears, it was like their wives singing before they left, full of resentment in their sorrow, like a huge cannonball, which had been ignited, but not exploded, just spreading and flashing beautiful sparks.

At the beginning, it was just these people from the Xuanyi Department who were proficient in Qi language singing.

When it was sung, it was a mixture of accents and voices, singing these ballads that had been sung many times in Qi language.

After singing, there was even catering on the side of Qi Guo, at first there were three or five people, then thirty or fifty people, and in the end, it was a one-piece, adult man's, heavy and somewhat hoarse singing.

"The deceased woman is a paradise. Paradise, I ...... what I have"

Where's the Promised Land?

Some people know that because they were captured by the Mojia Yishi in the final battle a few years ago, they spent the most memorable half a year as a prisoner in Sishang.

"Paradise is what I ......"

A Qi soldier who had been captured sang this song along, and at the end of the song, he sighed and said, "The Promised Land is on the other side, but what can I do?" ”

"If I flee alone, what will happen to my wife and children? The lords will drive them away, they will reduce them to slavery, I want to escape, I don't want to fight with you, but what can I do? ”

He had already told his accomplices about the experience of being captured, an experience that would have made his companions, who might have spent most of their lives within thirty miles of the village, wide-eyed in disbelief.

Those who seek the benefit of the people.

Those who have changed the appearance of mountains and rivers to their advantage.

The smoke of gunpowder that rose high blasted the ditches.

Those towering and turning water drain mills.

The prisoners of war camps ate enough wheat flour, vermicelli, and cornmeal.

Keju, wrestling, fencing, singing and dancing in those prisoner of war camps.

The dramas that they watched together and empathized with.

The people gathered together to elect the people of the wise men as gods with soybeans, mung beans, red beans, and corn.

Those horse-drawn carriages that run on wooden tracks to transport ore.

Those who are demonstrated are the lightning of the natural nature, the sun and the moon.

The women who came and went to deliver medicine to the prisoners of war and wore Mojia witch costumes.

The children flying kites after the school.

Those towering red bricks and blue tiles glow with pale green windows.

Those who walked in the market to buy vegetables in person joined the Mo family in the era of King Zhou An......

All these things, all of them, is the Promised Land.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still wives and children at home, many people would stay there, not only for the sake of the existing paradise, but also for the construction of a more beautiful paradise in the future.

"The East is Unknown", sang the cry of those new pawns.

"Rats, Paradise", sang the grievances of those old pawns.

The people who were able to stay back then stayed in Sishang, because the wives and young parents couldn't stay, as if they heard the voice of the partner who stayed on the other side.

There is no call for friends to accompany him, because every farmer under the field closure system is a partner, and he has a reputation and a comrade of one heart and one mind.

The hoarse voices of those who were not graceful, those who had been conquest, those songs that had been sung for hundreds of years, made many Qi people weep bitterly tonight.

But what can they do?

Behind him is a team of gentlemen and soldiers, and anyone who abandons his armor and drags his soldiers away will be killed.

After that, there were their respective lords and doctors, and all those who surrendered to the enemy were hanged by their parents, their children were subordinates, and their wives were all prostitutes.
