Chapter 125: A Letter's Journey (Part I)
The man walked up to the carpenter, and pretended to talk casually, he was a bearer, not far from Ze Xun, and his words revealed a little about the incision of the joint.
The carpenter handed him the letter while it was empty, and the scholar took a chance to see the contents of the letter—to send it into the city as soon as possible.
He was in charge of food, and knew that he didn't have this opportunity, so he found an ink man from a noble concubine who belonged to the same line as him.
In terms of identity alone, it is said that this noble concubine is less likely to become an ink scholar than a down-and-out scholar.
This aristocratic nobleman from the noble concubine is only twenty-five or sixteen years old this year, and when he was born, the Mo family had just undergone that reshuffle and future development.
After birth, because he was a concubine, and the family was not too big, he was not cultivated as an heir.
But also received a certain education.
His father participated in the Battle of the Three Jin Dynasty and the subsequent Battle of Jin and Chu, and made great achievements.
The Sanjin Dynasty was not only a place for military exploits, but also Korea gained a lot of territory from the subsequent Zheng State Rebellion, so that his father was divided into some fiefs, and the family's original fief was still near Yingshui.
When he was a child, the Sishang Hegemonic War broke out in Moyue, and that war also had a certain impact on South Korea.
At that time, because Tengcheng was broken for a few days, the world was shocked, and the Yue Junzi army, which had just bullied Qi with Sanjin and forced Qihou Luhou to drive as a guard, was completely wiped out, and gunpowder weapons and new tactics were shown in front of the world for the first time.
With the article "The Victory of Tianzhi Reason" about the destruction of Tengcheng and spreading to the world, the father of the noble concubine thought that the nephew should inherit the fief and status, and these concubines should learn the tactics and techniques of the Mo family so that they can make military achievements in the future The vast family.
This is also the common idea of many nobles after the Battle of Moyue back then, on the one hand, the Mo family had not yet shown enough terrible fangs at that time; On the other hand, that great war really shocked the world, especially after Wu Qi used gunpowder to blast open the beams of the Chu State, which led to the defeat of the Chu State.
Indeed, in the eyes of the nobles at that time, the doctrine of the Mohists was that there was a layer of grease on the outside and something highly poisonous inside.
However, there was nowhere else to learn, and the old aristocratic education did not enable the nobles to learn the new things.
So in this way, this aristocratic concubine was able to enter some lecture halls that the Mo family was allowed to open at that time, and received some education in words, numbers, astronomy, geography, and natural knowledge.
It doesn't seem to be anything too out of the ordinary, especially since the South Korean side still occasionally censors the content of the lectures in the school, but the poison of the grease on the outside is also highly toxic after all......
Words, in particular, can cause the spontaneous spread of poison and are not controllable at all.
Slowly, this aristocratic concubine knew that the earth under his feet was round, and then the values of respect and inferiority that were originally based on the difference between heaven and earth gradually collapsed in his heart; This aristocratic concubine witnessed some of the visible changes in Korea brought about by the spread of new iron crops, and the belief in the sacredness of the old system since ancient times collapsed; This nobleman accepted the doctrine of Taoism and nature in antiquity, and the monarchy and the values that the aristocracy had taken for granted collapsed......
Equality, love, synonym, wealth from labor, the suffering of the people, the meaningless strife of Zhuxia, profit and righteousness...... These things are like the water of a river that bursts its banks, and as he grows, the breaches of the broken banks widen day by day.
After learning the words, the "newspapers" and "stories" that came from Sishang were slowly corroding his mind, a kind of spontaneous corrosion, and every time he read it, he would bring great pleasure and empty resentment after the pleasure.
The notion that the aristocracy was silverfish made him angry, but anger was followed by a powerless change and pain that he had to accept; The words of love made him wonder, but after the doubts, he became more and more tempted to know the process of reasoning; The idea of equality made him afraid, but the fear was followed by a self-awakening out of his own concubine status.
All of this made him more and more convinced that the path he had chosen was the right one, and he also publicly made some "ink" remarks in South Korea.
But he is not a commoner, after all, he is still a nobleman, he is the nobleman's own family, and South Korea has not yet completed the centralization of power, as long as it is not too much, it will be a matter of three glasses of wine.
However, his father and brothers were wary of this, and after a few quarrels, they found that they could not reason clearly with his father and elder brothers, and he was bored with watching their lives, and a sense of guilt of noble origin spread all day long.
In this case, he joined the Mo family and became a secret ink master, and then put away his attitude of making these remarks in public, and then entered the circle of young nobles with the help of his father, which can be regarded as "willing to make up for the number of black clothes to defend the palace".
The guards of the palace are all from noble backgrounds, and being a palace guard is not something that ordinary people can do, mainly because it is extremely difficult to enter this circle, and they need to be born, and they cannot expand their communication in the noble circle.
Five years ago, the Battle of Qi and Mo broke out, and the Sishang Yishi shook the world again, and the Qi State, which had been a strong country since the Taigongwang era, was completely defeated, and the role of firearms and stirrups and artillery was more obvious.
Under these circumstances, South Korea also sought to form a new type of firearms unit and a new type of cavalry like the Tsusho Yoshishi.
These things can't be trained with their eyes closed, and the relationship between Wei Han and the Mo family is not good, and it is impossible for the Mo family to send instructors, so some nobles who received Sishang knowledge when they were young because of their father's sensitivity became the backbone of this new army.
If you want to be born in the aristocracy for loyalty, at least the Mo family is an aristocracy who does not work hard, and a new army with prospects and abilities in the new bright line must be in the hands of the nobility.
Knowledge is for military training, and the knowledge of the old era cannot adapt to the new era, and many things are not so simple, although there are some nobles who came back from "studying abroad" when Sishang recruited students is not enough to support it, and these people are more or less bewitched by the Mohist doctrine, and South Korea is not too relieved.
This noble concubine became an officer of this new army in Korea.
It is said that it is a new army, but it is not too new, it is just a normal evolution from chariot warfare as the main force to infantry as the main force, even if there are no new things, it is the heavy infantry corps of the Qin State after the change that finally wins the world.
Wei Wushu and others in the Wei State also belonged to an attempt, which was nothing more than this kind of military reform coinciding with the emergence of gunpowder, so that the direction of change naturally developed towards the old military system in Sishang.
The mixture of arquebuses and spearmen became the standard for this new Korean army.
This noble concubine became an officer of the new army and commanded two companies, including a company of arquebuses and two companies of spearmen.
It's just that South Korea has not had large-scale operations in recent years, and it has not yet made meritorious achievements.
This partition of Zheng Guo made many nobles from the same background as him feel hope, and longed for this time to be able to make military achievements, jump up, and fight against the old military nobles.
In fact, just as they had hoped, this siege of Xinzheng was a city wall that was opened by artillery, and although it did not go smoothly after the bombardment, the officers of the South Korean New Army were delighted no matter what.
If it goes well, then it will be a meritorious achievement of firearms, and their new army, which has never been in the past, will gradually be reused.
If it doesn't go well, then the quantity and quality of the new army are insufficient, and it should be worth reusing from above.
This noble concubine knew very well that there must be ink people in the three companies under his control, at least some people who were close to the Mo family and had received Mo family propaganda.
Although he is a secret ink maker, and he is not the same as others, but some habits in daily life are easy to see if you look closely, which may be "your own people".
He is also relaxed about this, and he has heard some tunes that are forbidden in South Korea more than once; He had heard more than once the rhetoric of the Mohist doctrine of equality and love; Some of the new words that were obviously brought by Sishang have also been heard more than once.
But he did not pin his hopes on others, since the letter came to him, and it was written outside that he was sent to the city, which was an order from his superiors, then he must carry it out.
How to send it in, he has also made a decision.
The siege of the city has not been smooth in the past few days, although the gap has expanded, but the city defense behind is still stable, and the upper part has begun to be impatient, and time is extremely unfavorable to Wei and Han.
Soon the siege will be carried out again, and he hopes to participate in the siege as a pioneer when the time comes, and find an opportunity to defect to the past.
He also knew what it meant for him to do so, and it meant that he was going to break with everything he had before.
Nobility, fathers and brothers, loyalty and filial piety, family, friends, all social relationships outside the line of Mo, treason...... All sorts of things.
But after only a slight hesitation, he strengthened his mind and thought: "Profit the world, and live and die." Even if you are in the world, you can give up all this. ”
There is always a choice to make, just sooner or later.
Just when he had already determined his will to die, a strange sentence that he had heard a long time ago appeared in his ears.
There is only one kind of person who can say this strange thing, and that is the ink man who needs to contact him.
In astonishment, he raised his head and found that there were a few standing opposite, not from their company, it seemed that they had been waiting for him for a long time in the toilet place, which was almost the only way for the front line to meet each other in tandem.
There were five people standing opposite, who happened to be a soldier, and the leader should be a captain, who was looking at him solemnly at this time.
It's just this kind of level-up that makes him sure that the other side is the ink person who is in contact with him. Otherwise, a common man like Wu Chang would have been frightened and nervous when he saw the nobles, and he didn't dare to look at him directly, which was a very ordinary but very arrogant gaze, and what was revealed in his eyes was the word "equality" that was common in Mohist articles that he had read for more than ten years.
Equality is the most excessive encroachment under the hierarchy.
