Chapter 189: Ambition

Speaking of this, a few people next to him were even more angry.

Soon after the coup, the purge of two types of people began in the Forces nouvelles.

One is those who are loyal to the old King of Chu.

The other part is some young people who are deeply influenced by the Mohists, who are full of words such as equality, virtue, people, and benefiting the world.

After verifying the correct body, those who were ink did not dare to kill and could only be expelled and sent back, and those who were not ink were killed a few to set an example.

But at this time and that time, I didn't dare to say it casually before, but there was still no taboo to complain at this time.

Someone scolded: "It's just that if you say a few more words about equality and virtue on weekdays, you will be suspected of inking, and it is a conspiracy against morality." ”

"How many battles have we fought? fought from Dongting to Cangwu, and from Cangwu to Chen Cai, he made a big contribution and became an officer. ”

"Damn, this time he took us back to guard the city, but he just sold his buttocks, and jumped on our heads to command me and wait?"

These people are all old people in the new army, when the Chu State and the Mo family were considered to be in a semi-allied state, they were in the army, and at that time, the Chu State invited instructors from Sishang to train the new army of the Chu State with a mixture of cold and hot weapons, and many people were influenced by the Mo family.

Fortunately, some of the artillerymen suspected that even the grassroots organizations of the Mo family existed, and there were many of them, but at least they were relatively secretive.

These old people in the new army themselves have been influenced by a lot of Mohist doctrines, not to mention the benefits of the world, but at least they accept equality and virtue.

He worked hard to beat Chen Cai from Dongting, made war exploits, and died nine times, but as a result, the male pets of the King of Chu can become masters by selling their butts, who can accept it?

Originally, it was convincing, after all, wealth and poverty are God's destined bloodline, and it is already a thousand thanks to be able to give them the grace to "knight military merits", so what is there to disagree with sending a male pet to lead the troops?

But in recent years, the doctrine of the Mohists has spread everywhere, and this kind of meritorious service, which should have been appreciated for a thousand gratitudes, has become a matter of course, and if it is not done, there must be resentment.

Someone laughed and said: "In the past, Mo Zhai said that the spirit king is a good man with a thin waist, so the ministers of the spirit king all take a meal as a festival, coerce and then bring, and then support the wall and then rise." Compared with the period of the year, there is a dark color in the morning. Now our king is not good at thin waist, and his face is like jade, and his buttocks are like white moon. ”

"You and I have been fighting for many years, and my complexion is so dark, I don't think I can expect to sell my buttocks in this life."

Everyone laughed and scolded a few more words, and another person sighed: "This big defeat will definitely not be able to stop the elite of the Mo family." We and the new army are all under the guidance of the Mo family, how can the disciples beat Mr. ”

"I can't win the battle, and I don't think I can hold the city. Let us pile up firewood and grass, I am afraid that we will burn the city with a fire, cut off the pursuit of the Mo family, and hinder the Mo family with scorched earth. ”

As soon as he mentioned this, the people next to him were a little scared and exclaimed, "Can't you?" ”

First of all, they don't believe it, because they have been more or less influenced by the Mohist doctrine, and some ways of thinking are gradually thinking towards the way of thinking that the Mohist Xuanyi Department wants everyone to use.

Thinking about it, everyone is the so-called descendants of Zhuxia, this city is still the city of the Chu people, at this time the weather is overcast and cold, and the local area is all thatched houses, a fire, tens of thousands of people are homeless, and there is no advance notice, I don't know how many people will be burned to death in the city.

As the king of a country, how could he do such a thing?

But think about the propaganda of the Mo family that I occasionally heard, and the tabloids that circulated in private...... In particular, some of the "lace news" that these literate people in the army love to watch and the princes and nobles vigorously forbidden, such as how the ancestors of the princes of various countries played with their daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law.

There may not be any connection between the two, for example, those who like to play with their daughters-in-law may not necessarily set fire to the city, but rational thinking has not yet become the mainstream under the rule of princes, and this kind of thing will inevitably be associated together.

The princes and nobles are shameless, what can't they do?

After being surprised, someone exclaimed, "That...... Isn't it unjust to condemn us people? ”

The impact of the Qi Gongziwu incident was very great, so big that it shocked the world: in the past, the princes and nobles did not die, but indeed none of them were executed after being tried by people from the common people for this kind of crime.

They were officers, not ordinary soldiers, and a little recollection knew that their qualifications were just enough to be shot and sentenced to the rank of an injustice.

There were a lot of people who died with Qi Gongziwu in the funeral, and that time the Mo family was really killing people's heads, of course, because of the support of Qi Gongzi in China, but the Mo family really did what they said, and they said that they would kill whoever they wanted.

It is not a secret that the Mohists in various countries have frequent activities, and the merchants who walk back and forth, the craftsmen who survive in the cities, and the witches who walk the villages are likely to be the Mohists, and they have also heard of the fast transmission of news.

There are even quite a few in the army.

"Damn, even if the princes and nobles are punished for injustice, unless they are defeated, it is not so easy to die. It was not easy for an Assassin to break into the palace guarded by the Praetorian Guards, and it was even more difficult to assassinate him in secret. We can't hide in the palace. ”

"If this is the name of harming the people, the world knows that it is from Kunlun in the west to the sea in the east, from Guzhu in the north to Panyu in the south, where can we hide?"

Some people even sighed: "I think this Chu is going to end, and the Mo family will get Chu." Princes and nobles can flee, but where do we flee? ”

Someone asked, "If the city is burned, let's retreat, and you and my brothers and sisters, parents, wives and children are at home, how will they follow?" ”

Someone waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this. The so-called Mo family, the disaster will not affect the family, the law of Sishang, you have also heard Mr. talk about it, people are the main body. ”

The questioning man shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again." Furthermore, when the time comes, once the injustice order is signed, even if the family is innocent and cannot be killed, but the surrounding villagers know about us, how can the family gain a foothold? ”

Saying this, everyone couldn't help but sigh and be shocked.

If they escape, they will have nothing, and judging from the current situation, I am afraid that they are getting closer and closer to the normality of the princely generals, even if they flee to other places and make war exploits, to what extent? It's not as good as being born by others, selling himself to the king, or being born noble, and having a fief title to inherit.

"I think we might as well run away. Anyway, the Mo family is coming, and I am not guilty. Escape into Daze, and when the Mo family drives away the prince, how about we come out again? ”

It has been suggested that fleeing is indeed a good way to avoid the calamities that follow.

But someone said, "Flee? It's true that I don't die, but all the achievements I have been fighting for more than ten years are gone. ”

Someone replied: "If you don't flee, you will be on the list of unrighteous orders, and it is better to flee than to die." ”

"Besides, even if we don't flee, even if we escape the unjust order, what do we have left? Stay away from your wife and parents don't talk about it...... Ay. ”

"Even if we are innocent and no one knows, when the Mo family comes, won't we still have no merits? The Mo family doesn't look down on the little land you and me, but it's impossible for us to continue to be officers......"

When his face was sad, a person with considerable authority among the crowd whispered: "Now it seems that if you set fire, you will die; If you flee, the achievements of decades of war will be ruined; Even if you don't flee, you may die in the battle, and if you are captured by the Mo family, we will be the ones who help the abuse. ”

"The Mo family has many words, everyone is equal, and the princes and princes can do anything if they have merit. Today we have a great deal of work in front of us. may die, but if you don't die, you will be famous and amazing in the world. ”

Several people glanced at each other, immediately understood what this person meant, and said, "You mean ......?"

The man said, "That's right! The Mojia army is not far away, and our army will be defeated in the field, otherwise how can we escape? The princes and nobles can escape, that is because the Mo family wants to divide their fiefdoms, how can we escape? And how can they bear the burden of setting fire to the city and harming the people? ”

"If you don't do a big thing, plot to assassinate the official, raise your arms and shout. If it is successful, then the princes and nobles will all die under the city, and we will make great contributions, and the Mohist family will have clear rewards and punishments, and we will be used. Besides, the Mo family army does not look at blood, only looks at merit, this is an opportunity. ”

"The Mo family has a lot of words, the king's coup is unpopular, and there are many complaints among the kings."

"We can contact trusted friends and spread rumors, only saying that we will set fire to the city and scorch the people to prevent the Mo family from chasing the army, and the people will follow it. At that time, the general who plotted to assassinate the defender of the city, raised his arms and shouted, and elected the sage as the general, and the great thing could be accomplished. ”

"Life in the world is nothing more than death. If you are bound to die, why not do great things and become famous? In the past, there was indeed a kind of prince and general; In today's time, where there is ambition, there is fame, so why not do it? ”

The word ambition is one of the major crimes of the previous princes, princes and nobles and some schools of thought who judged the Mo family to "bring disaster to the world".

The common people don't want to cultivate the land in peace, the craftsmen are working in peace, and the merchants are restless and self-conscious to make some money, but they actually think that everyone is equal and virtuous can change the fate destined in their bloodline, this is ambition, not the root cause of the chaos in the world.

To put it further, if the princes want to become the Son of Heaven, there will be rebellion if they have such ambitions.

The doctor wants to become the secretary, so there will be a battle between the doctors.

Shangqing wants to become a prince, but he is happy to be happy with etiquette.

This is the chaos in the world, so this kind of thing must be put an end to, and the Mo family, which has no king and no father, is naturally the target of everyone.

The so-called who is poor and who is rich, who is the common people and who is the noble, that is destined by the Emperor of Heaven, the Mo family wants everyone to be equal, it is naturally a fool's dream, that is what God cannot agree, and it will also make the world chaotic and bloody.

Many people believe that it is precisely because the Mohists instigated the ambitions of the people of the world who were suppressed by the ritual law that it led to the rebellion of today.

The word ambition was originally reserved for nobles above the level of doctors, and only those who were qualified to attack the princes of the Jin Dynasty and Qi were eligible to use it, but now the Mo family wants everyone in the world to have ambitions, and even clearly proclaims this ambition, and tells the people of the world with facts and actions: Look, the word ambition across classes and bloodlines is no longer exclusive to nobles. Sishang is full of usurped people, the people spend money to listen to the drum music that only the Son of Heaven is qualified to listen to, watch the dance of the specifications that the Son of Heaven can see, hundreds of thousands of people trespass, gather to elect the princes of heaven, and beat the bloodline princes to the fart, the fart is not not said, but many people are rich and worthy of the country, famous in the world, what are you ordinary people under the rule of the princes waiting for?

The people of the world look at it, oh, it turns out that those who have ambitions will not be punished in any way, not only will they not be punished, but for a while the princes will kneel and lick it, so who still abides by the old rules of dignity and humility and order?

This ambition to cross classes is one of the biggest changes that Si Shang has brought to the people of the world in the past 30 years.

From the perspective of princes and nobles, it is the untouchables in the world who are shameless. In the past, when the common people were not given the opportunity to flow across the bloodline, everyone obeyed the rules and bloodlines; As a result, after setting a precedent for military merit and giving the common people a chance, the common people began to complain why they didn't give more?
