Chapter 317: The Princes' Sideways Eyes on the Market (3)
At the beginning of the storm, a Mo rider finally got rid of the countless surprised stares along the way, and sent a secret letter from Niu Langyi to Pei County.
He rode a horse.
A horse with a saddle and stirrups.
So I looked sideways along the way.
The secret letter in his hand was sealed with wax paint, and after the person who received the letter confirmed that it was correct, he sent the secret letter to an ink artist who was subordinate to the secretary.
The contents of the letter are all numeric symbols used within the Mohists, and the scribes need to translate the contents of the "Common Books of Cheap Characters" that have been written for several years, corresponding to those numeric symbols.
Because...... This kind of letter, marked as confidential, once it is identified by any potential enemy, will cause an uproar, and even trigger the destruction of the Mo family, which was still fragile at this time, and even trigger the siege of the kings of the world.
Mozi, whose body was not as good as one day by day, took the translated letter, and after a cursory reading, handed the letter to Yu Huali, and said to the rest of the people: "It's good to be on the side of Niu Langyi." ”
Gao Sun Tzu smiled: "As expected, we can trust his ability." What does the letter say? ”
Mozi took a deep breath and recalled the contents of the letter.
There are two copies of the letters, one of which needs to be translated secretly, and the other is not needed, but it only introduces the process of defending the city and the Warring States.
If the contents of the secret letter were seen by outsiders, it would surely cause a stir.
The letter said that Han Qian was dead, and this time there would be no result for the time being. Hearing the news, it seems that Zhao Ji is also dead.
Therefore, Zheng Guo's situation is ugly, it will be difficult for Han Zhao to send troops within three years, and the consequences of the entire Jin-Zheng coalition army entering the prince will be borne by Zheng Guo for the time being.
Under the chaos of the situation, this time and that time, so the waist of the king of Chu may be stiffened, and he can't have any illusions about the king of Chu.
There is less than a year left before the deadline for the Soldiers' Meeting, and the monarchs of Han and Zhao will die at the same time, and there will be internal chaos. Zheng Guo bore the brunt and was certainly not an opponent of the Chu people, so the Chu State was likely to launch a counterattack.
The letter said that the princes and nobles were not credible, and they could only change if they were forced to the end of the world.
Therefore, the king of Chu was in a desperate situation half a year ago, but now in the battle of Niu Qiyi, the Jin and Zheng coalition forces did not succeed in breaking through the Lu Pass, and the king of Chu will integrate his forces, counterattack Zheng Guo, and force Zheng Guo to unilaterally engage Wei, it seems that the advantage is very large, and he can survive this inheritance crisis.
Under this advantage, some of the Mo family's ideas of change, or even a year later, the covenant of the soldiers may not be observed, and the Mo family should completely abandon illusions.
The infiltration of Yan Ying is unlikely in a short period of time, and the promise of the King of Chu in the secret agreement can now be regarded as a fart.
Unless the Three Jin Dynasty coalition forces completely hurt the Chu State three years later, the King of Chu may contact the Mo family again at that time, so after entering Chu this time, the Mo family should take the initiative to put on a cold posture and wait until the King of Chu is hurt again before mentioning the matter of entering Chu.
However, you can send people to Yan Ying in advance to find out the local situation, and make sure that the king of Chu takes the initiative to invite the Mo family to Chu after the Chu people are beaten and hurt a few years later.
In addition, the excavation of iron ore and pig iron farming tools in the Wan and Nanyang areas belongs to the content of the Ming Agreement, which can be prepared as soon as possible.
On the side of Niu Qiyi, a part of the ink masters should be selected to come, and it is better to have five people. One person from the Xuanyi Department, one person who understands political affairs and military affairs, one person who understands the technology of cropping, one person who has learned enough words, and one handicraft who is proficient in carpentry and leather crafting and other skills.
On the bright side, one person was randomly selected as the slaughterer of the city, and these five people were used as the foundation in Niulangyi, and the reform was carried out without touching the core interests of Luyang Gong, and the operation of Niulangyi was operated.
In addition, the war and some propaganda content of Niu Qi Yi have been drawn up, and after asking the Giant and the other Seven Enlightenment Harms to approve it, it will be published and disseminated to the Great City and Dayi.
At the same time, after the successful publicity of the defense of the city of Niu Qiyi, some defensive gunpowder weapons could be sold for Zheng Guo, and the money could be used as a reserve for iron smelting in Nanyang, and part of it could be used as a fund for Niu Qiyi's activities.
It is recommended that the Mo family immediately prepare to formulate some of the rules of the world, such as the cannon that can fire more than three catties of iron balls is an offensive weapon, and the arquebus used inside the Mo family is also considered an offensive weapon and will not be sold. The rest of the various hand cannon guns can be sold.
It can be claimed that if all countries build fortresses like Niu Langyi, then the besieging side is very broken, which may lead to a strange peace that the attacking side does not dare to attack.
If possible, you can send an envoy to the Chu capital, and talk to the king of Chu with the rhetoric of killing troops to eliminate grievances, in the case of forcing the Zheng people to truce by force and the internal instability of the two monarchs of Han and Zhao, the king of Chu will definitely not agree, and may even feel that he has a great advantage, and will definitely refuse.
In this way, when the time comes to tear up the alliance between the soldiers, the Mo family will win the support of the market, and the ugly faces of the princes and nobles will also be revealed within two years, so that the people of the world will completely lose the illusion of relying on the benevolence and righteousness of the princes and nobles to achieve peace.
This is based on the speculation that the king of Chu wants to change, not that the king of Chu thinks that the nobles are unreliable, but that the king of Chu thinks that the Mo family has ideas and cannot be loyal dogs.
The King of Chu could feel that the Mo family seemed to be a delicious lump of minced meat, but in fact it was poisonous. Although this poison is less toxic than that of the noble feudal relatives, if he can win several battles and slowly change with the help of power, it seems that the influence of the Mo family can be minimized.
However, when Shi promised to help the Chu people build Daliang City two years ago, he was already ready to pit the king of Chu, forcing him to swallow this mouthful of poisonous wine at that time.
This is not only to make the ink scholars give up their illusions about the princes and nobles, but also to let the king of Chu give up the illusion that he is now favored by providence, which is very advantageous, and let Sanjin wake up and slap him hard, so that he can understand why he said that Jin Yu was ruined that day.
The high-level Moshi present passed the letter, and after reading it, they were all amazed.
The heart said that if you talk about the grasp of the general trend of the world, there is indeed no one within the Mo family who can do the right thing. Originally, he thought that he could be prepared for entering Chu this time, but he thought that this was not the best time, and decisively judged the situation on the Sanjin side after Han Hou and Zhao Hou died at the same time.
After looking at it, Wu Mabo said, "I agree with the appropriate opinion. Princes and nobles, I'm afraid it's really unreliable. In the battle of Shangqiu, the soldiers will die, but it is because the prince is determined to go to Zheng, so that the balance is broken. This time to negotiate in Chu is just a crisis for the king of Chu, but if Han and Zhao are all suspended, Zheng Guo is difficult to support alone, and Wei only relies on himself, I am afraid that the king of Chu can also breathe, and may not use the morality of our Mo family. ”
"Sir, defend the city and help the small country more, because the king of the small country has no choice but to use our inkers. As for a big country like Chu...... I think it's still right, wait a minute, send someone to lobby the king of Chu, and see if he still abides by the covenant after a year. ”
Several people said in their hearts that after the battle of Shangqiu, the soldiers would die young, and the words of the princes and nobles were really hard to believe.
Gao Sun Zi nodded, signaling that he agreed with Wu Mabo's opinion, and said with a smile: "Judging from the letter, it has always been like this. He didn't believe in princes and nobles five years ago, and he still doesn't believe in it now. I think he is right, someone may be Zhou Wen Shang Tang, but Shang Tang's heirs still have the king of Zhou, and the descendants of King Wen also have faint and unsupportable generations. We can't pin the hope of benefiting the world on these princes and nobles. ”
Mozi sighed and said, "What he said is right. It's just that the battle of Niu Yiyi proves that the Great Wall of Chu is not a momentary succession, and the re-fight between Jin and Chu can only be between Zheng and Daliang. It's a miserable place! ”
"Now that the prince is set in Zheng, the three Jin and the two marquis are both in power, and it is difficult for the Wei people to send troops this year, and they have to reconcile the relationship between the three Jin and the new king, celebrate with the new monarch, and join forces with the three Jin Dynasty. How could Zheng Guo be able to resist the counterattack of the Chu people? ”
"Although Zheng Guo took advantage of the time when the prince was set to leave and the new king of Chu was unstable to capture Wuyang of Chu, if he did not attack, the Chu people might not attack in the future. In the end, we still haven't been able to convince the warlike kings of the world. ”
Frowning for a while, Mozi said again: "Zheng Yougong died at the hands of Han Wuzi. Now that the Zheng people have raided Yang Zhai and Han Qian died in the city, even if it is not killed by the Zheng people, the Han people will have to attack Zheng in the end. ”
"In my opinion, Si Ziyang is also difficult to do, he can't have thought that Han Qian would die. Now it's a good thing, originally allied with Chu to resist the Koreans, but now he jumped back and took the lead in capturing Yuguan, killing the doctors of the Jing and Shu clans. The Chu people are also angry, and the Han people have the hatred of killing the king, even if the Wei State wants to maintain it, it is difficult. ”
Glancing at Xiao Sheng, who was temporarily acting as a secretary after leaving, Mozi asked, "How is the public opinion in the market on Zheng Guo's side recently?" ”
Xiaosheng took out a small notebook, looked at it and said, "In the market, there is a lot of dissatisfaction with Si Ziyang's attack on Chu. In addition, Si Ziyang's ruling was too strict, and some people discouraged students from giving birth to one by one, but he did not listen, thinking that the criminal law could not be changed. Dazai Shin and others are also spreading remarks that are unfavorable to Ziyang. ”
"Last year, when they attacked Wuyang, the Zheng people were dissatisfied, after all, the Chu State was a big country, and the Zheng people were afraid of the Chu people's retaliation. After Han Qian's death, the news also quickly spread to Zhengdi, and our people also heard a lot of news. Zheng Ren...... Panic and rejoice with revenge. ”
"Ziyang...... It seems that after Han Qian's death, he immediately sent people to South Korea to mourn. He didn't dare to incite revenge against the people of the country, and he was also afraid. ”
Shijia Dolphin clapped his hands and said, "It's late!" Zheng Xiaoguo also! If you have to have the heart of a great power, how can you not be dangerous? Zheng Guo will be in chaos. It also happened that the Chu people could not use the equipment to defend the city for the time being, and those craftsmen who made the fire gun and hand cannon could also continue to make it and sell it to Zheng Guo through the battle of Niu Langyi. ”
"The money obtained can be used to start the Nanyang Iron Mine, and the second is to ...... It is also possible to change horses from Zheng Guoduo. It can be used immediately to cultivate the land, and it can also be used to train stirrup riders and strengthen Peipeng's army for the future. ”
"The righteousness of the world, although we can't grasp it now, but ...... We can set the rules of what is a defensive weapon and what is an offensive weapon. ”
"If it is suitable, it is not wrong, if every city is built like a cow, equipped with artillery and firearms, it will be difficult for the besieging side to break the city, and it seems that it is really possible to defeat the army for a short time......"
If he says it seems, it really seems. Because Shi clearly told everyone in the secret letter: The city wall of Niu Langyi seems to be stable, but in fact there are many problems. As long as the attacker has artillery, or digs a tunnel and approaches it, it can be broken with gunpowder.
If the Mo family wants to give the world a strong shield, there must be a sharp spear that can break the shield.
