Whether it is the worship of ghosts and gods or the love of the people, so much so that the envoy said that the capital of Zheng Guo can hold on to it for more than half a year under the siege of Korea, etc., it is an internal problem.

If internal problems are not solved, it is impossible to resist external aggression.

The envoy came with a purpose, but he did not know the true purpose, or the true purpose of the entire Mohist decision-making circle.

The real purpose of the Mohist decision-making circle is actually very simple to let Zheng Guo reorganize his army and build the city wall, so that Korea can make a judgment that the later it annexes Zheng Guo, the more likely it is that there will be problems.

Zheng Guo will perish sooner or later, even if he does not die in Wei Han, he will have to die in Sishang.

The decision-making circle of the Mo family hoped that Zheng Guo's demise could be advanced, and this time they sent envoys to Zheng Guo with great fanfare, preparing to provide Zheng Guo with loans and weapons, helping to train new troops, building city walls, etc., all of which were forcing Korea to hurry up.

If Zheng Guo is not prepared, it may take seven or eight years to lose the country.

But this time, the Mo family clearly helped Zheng Guo to prepare the city defense, but he might lose the country in a few months.

South Korea did not want Jeong-kook to gradually have the same force as Sishang, and it did not want Jeong-kook to transform the capital into a new, gunpowder-era fortress.

This is obvious.

Wei will not let South Korea swallow Zheng, the only possibility for South Korea to swallow Zheng is a quick blitzkrieg, once the capital of the country is not settled, Wei will inevitably come forward to mediate.

This is exactly what the envoy said to the monarchs and ministers of Zheng State, and this is the core meaning of the so-called diplomatic mediation to save the weak country.

Zheng Guojunchen also agreed with this statement, and has always adhered to the status quo of relying on Wei to ensure that Korea can only be eaten and not swallowed.

But he didn't expect that behind such a fact, there was a deeper plan hidden, and Sishang really harbored evil intentions and led to trouble.

There are two issues involved.

One is that the Mo family has always had an unparalleled ability to defend the city, relying on this unparalleled ability to defend the city back then, it prevented Chu from attacking Song, Chu from attacking Zheng, and Qi from attacking Lu.

The second is the level of Sishang's training of the new army, Sishang's righteous division Nanjishui fought a battle and the world moved, and then the Chu State pacified the rebellion of Prince Chen Caiding.

These two issues must be considered by South Korea, and they are also the direct reasons why Zheng Guo believes that this is a life-saving straw.

Regarding the relationship between Wei and Han, the envoy of the Mo family did not say a word of lie, and the overall idea of being able to hold the capital until the mediation of the Wei State is also correct.

Zheng Guojun certainly hoped to strengthen his military so that Korea could not invade and could defend the country.

However, this was the idea of Zheng Guojun's ministers, and they did not look at the problem from the perspective of South Korea.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

For Zheng Guo, Sishang is a real bystander, who can think about the real situation from the perspective of the parties.

From South Korea's point of view, this is delicate.

Because South Korea will think the same way, so it's okay not to help, if it is, the best choice for South Korea to do must be to attack the Wei capital before Zheng Guo can hold the capital.

Sishang has a strong ability to defend the city, Sishang has the most experience in the city defense system in the gunpowder era, and Sishang has the ability to help other countries organize and train new armies...... All kinds of factors are imposed on Zheng Guo, and what South Korea needs to consider is...... If Zheng Guo really completes the military reform after three or five years, will South Korea still be able to annex Zheng Guo? Is the heart of South Korea threatened by Jeong-kook?

Twenty years ago, Zheng Guo defeated Korea several times in a row with the strength of a small country, and even directly besieged the Korean capital during the Wei, Han, and Zheng alliances into the prince's reign, and South Korea was always full of vigilance against Zheng Guo.

Once Zheng's military strength is enough to defend itself and support the intervention of various countries, then Korea will never be able to defeat Zheng, unless Wei and Chu both lose their hegemony and completely decline - when the time comes, the problem of swallowing Zheng will be the battle between Han Wei and Han Chu.

Considering the Song coup from South Korea's point of view, it is not that it has no impact on South Korea at all.

In addition to the need to curb the spread of morality and egalitarianism, the growing threat of Sishang also made it very likely that Korea would send troops to Wei.

This time the Song coup also brought a golden opportunity for South Korea.

That was when Wei and Chu met with Han, and Korea directly annexed Zheng Guo, forcing Wei to recognize the fait accompli of South Korea's annexation of Zheng Guo with the support of South Korea.

Otherwise, the main force will intervene in the Song State, and the most tenacious force of the present day will be in long-term confrontation, and let Zheng Guo reform the military reform, I am afraid that South Korea will lose Zheng Guo forever.

Moreover, if Wei, Chu and Han intervene in the Song State together this time, the result will inevitably be to save the Song Dynasty and oppose Mexico, which is an ideological war, and South Korea is likely to contribute but not benefit, but will suffer heavy losses.

The Song State was far more important to Korea than the Kingdom of Zheng, which was close at hand, bent on annexation, and had been planning for thirty or forty years.

The decision-making level of the Mo family wants to use the method of pretending to arm Zheng Guo to force South Korea to annex Zheng Guo as soon as possible.

It's just that it is impossible for Zheng Guojun and his ministers to know the hidden thoughts of the Mo family, in their opinion, Sishang may have his own purpose, that is, to assist Zheng Guo against South Korea, but they didn't expect that in the eyes of those people in Sishang, whether Zheng Guo exists or not, can involve South Korea.

If Zheng Guo starts military reform, even if South Korea does not swallow Zheng and confronts Sishang in Song for a long time, then Zheng Guo can backstab Korea and besiege the Korean capital as soon as the time comes in the future.

If South Korea chooses to swallow Zheng, then it is impossible for South Korea to focus too much on the Song State, although the Zheng State has been encroached upon, but the newly annexed land cannot be transformed into strength without five years and ten years, and it must reserve a lot of troops to involve the force, so that even if the Wei-Chu-Han alliance is formed, in fact, there is only Wei Chu.

However, Wei Chu distrusted each other and fought each other for decades, which can be broken individually.

Moreover, the matter of South Korea's annexation of Zheng will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of Wei and Chu, and South Korea will definitely not allow Wei and Chu to divide the territory of Zheng, because this is the hinterland of South Korea, and it is only a hundred miles away from the Korean capital, so it is impossible to allow the strategy of the three countries to work together to divide Zheng.

Once each has a ghost inside, then the changes in the situation in the Central Plains caused by the coup d'état of the Song State will become more and more favorable to the Sishang Mo family.

Whether Sishang was motivated by his own benefit or had other motives, it was impossible for Zheng Guo to refuse some of the suggestions put forward by the Mohist envoys.

After explaining the way out for Zheng Guo in the long run, the envoy said to Zheng Junyi: "The giant sent me this time precisely to prevent the people from falling into the flames of war. ”

"Only by fighting can we defend, the South Koreans will hesitate and dare not go to war at will."

"If you can't defend it, it's like a three-year-old child walking in the market with a piece of gold in his hand, and those who have a heart will do evil. There are many people walking in the market with gold in their hands, but there are many safers and few people robbing them, which is exactly what it means. ”

Zheng Junyi said: "This is true. It's just that the reason why people in the market can't be robbed is that the law is fixed, and the looters are punished. ”

"In the past, the alliance of Heze, if it could set the law of the country and the country, it would be good, so as to stop the heart of the big and the small, and the strong swallowing the weak."

The envoy of Sishang nodded and said, "Although my Mo family considers this matter for the sake of the world, I have many intentions, but twenty years ago, the call of the Central Plains to kill soldiers was betrayed by various countries, and they are already disheartened. ”

Zheng Jun complained and didn't mean anything else.

A country like Zheng Guo, which is absolutely incapable of being strong and is surrounded by powerful powers, is the most eager for the new international law.

There's another reason for that.

In the past, the international law in the world was a weekly ritual, and under the rules of etiquette, how to be right, how to be wrong, how to levy, how to fight, how to wartime, and how to not chase after the old and weak, etc., are all within the scope of international law.

However, the beginning of the destruction of international law originated from Zheng Guo, so Zheng Guo was also the most looking forward to the new international law and was embarrassed to talk about Zhou Li.

It was Zheng Zhuang Gong who first destroyed the international law part of Zhou Li, and it was Zhuang Gong who angrily shot Zhou Tianzi when he fought with the Son of Heaven.

Zheng Guo also had Zheng Zhou's hostage, and the Son of Heaven exchanged hostages with the princes, which can be regarded as completely ruining the Zhou rites that shrouded the heads of various countries and maintained relations between countries.

Zhou Li's international law was partially destroyed, and Zheng Guo suffered first, and now he naturally hopes for the emergence of new international law, and only when the new international law is recognized by all countries can it be most beneficial to Zheng Guo and can guarantee Zheng Guo's independence.

Sishang did not want to establish international law, nor would he advocate the call, but only implemented the law of war of Zhuxia, which made all countries begin to expand their armies, prepare for war, and change the law, and Zheng Guo had some complaints about this.

Zheng Guo and Song Guo are very similar, but they are very different.

The Song State could join the non-offensive alliance in Sishang, and under the military guarantee of Sishang, it would remain neutral with the only remaining Lu State.

But Zheng Guo can't.

Sishang was too far away, Wei was too close, Zheng did not dare and could not join the non-offensive alliance led by Sishang, and could only be a vassal state of Wei in the way of meeting Wei.

However, because of the relationship between Korea, Wei could not really guarantee the independence of Zheng Guo, on the contrary, it would use Zheng Guo as a bait to maintain the Wei-Han alliance and appropriately suppress Korea.

Sishang was not Zheng's first choice, but Zheng's request for Wei to intervene and officially guarantee Zheng's independence did not receive any response, and with only a few ambiguous words, some military and economic support from Sishang was what Zheng urgently needed now.

Supposedly, it sounds like Zheng Guo's approach is actually very stupid, and it is unwise to be surrounded by Wei Han, but he still ceremoniously received the envoy of Sishang, who was opposed to Wei Han.

The so-called long-distance and close-range attack strategy that can only be feasible for a small country to act as a big country is the way to self-destruction.

But the problem is that Zheng Guo understands that even if he doesn't make friends with Sishang, South Korea will fight himself, and South Korea will never lack a reason to fight himself, and no one has obeyed the Zhou rites, and sometimes there is no need for any reason to fight and annex, this is the cruelty of the world of great controversy.

If Wei Han is one, with Chu or Sishang as a threat, Zheng can of course maintain his independence as a vassal state as a buffer, but this is not the case, then this seemingly unwise approach is actually the most beneficial choice for Zheng.

In the longer run, Zheng Guo's situation is a dead end, and it can never be solved from Zheng Guo's point of view.

Si Shang just knotted this inevitable death knot in advance.
