Chapter 67: Expressing Attitude
In the chaotic crowd, there are not only spontaneous and organized people who have gathered and organized with the current, and who have been kidnapped, but there is also another kind of people.
Someone in the crowd pulled a dagger out of his bosom, pushed through the crowd, and walked towards the armor soldiers who were about to make a move.
Most of them are dog slaughterers, and they are considered rangers in the city, but they are not ink masters yet, or many people do not like the strict organizational structure within the Mo family and do not join.
They are warriors, or at least they think they should be.
With the spread of Mohist doctrine, especially in the land of Sishang, it is quite useful to change customs.
The Mo family itself has the theory of five bravery, and only thinks that behaviors such as Cao Di robbing Qi Huan and saving Lu, and Yan Zi crying Qi Hou with justice are the courage of a gentleman. And acts such as courage and ruthlessness are only the last kind of courage and should be criticized.
Just as after Shang Ying's reform, the land of Qinchuan also changed customs, so that he changed from liking private fights to having the courage to fight publicly. The spread of the Mohist doctrine in the land of Sishang also had the same effect.
Gongzi even entered Qin, Nie Zheng assassinated Qin and other things, and over the years, they have also spread more, and the Mo family, who holds the initiative in the world's public opinion, preached that Nie Zheng was "martyrdom for Qin's sacrifice to Hebo and stop people" and assassinated Qin Jun, which was for the benefit of the world and the people, which was great courage.
Under this kind of publicity, the mentality of those market rangers in Fei is gradually changing. What used to be the kind of behavior that looked at each other and laughed and sat on the ground and cut their own flesh to show their bravery gradually became a joke.
Warriors are always hired by their masters, die for it, and talk and laugh freely.
But after the emergence of the Mohist doctrine, the hired "master" gradually changed from a physical person to a class of imaginary fingers, and some rangers and warriors were no longer willing to continue to be the dogs of the nobility for the benefit of the nobility, but wanted to do an "earth-shattering" act of gentleman's bravery.
The doctrine of the Mo family is easy for them to accept, but they are not able to accept the discipline of the Mo family, so they are practicing their own way of benefiting the world in their own way, they are a fanatical and free group of people.
This time, in the matter of the national capital of Fei Guo, these people distrusted the nobles and the monarch early on, and blended into the crowd with sharp blades, just to be able to stage a feat like Nie Zheng's assassination of Qin that can be recited through the ages.
When an event is not just a pecking between nobles, but people of all walks of life are involved for different reasons, it all becomes different.
One of the people in the crowd named Simon Tu was a warrior who thought he should do something like a gentleman.
He lived near the west gate of the capital, and worked as a butcher, so that the people called him Simon Tu.
When this person was in the market, he heard a lot of names of the Mo family, and he even idolized several swordsmen in the Mo family.
After the story of Nie Zheng's assassination of Qin was spread by the Mo family, this person even talked and laughed with Nie Zheng as a couple, and also wanted to join the Mo people many times.
The Mo family originally had a stronghold in the capital of Fei Guo for handouts or for dissemination, and there were also several ink practitioners who were acting in the bright light, and Ximen Tu often went to listen to the Mo family's lectures, and also asked Xu Miao if he wanted to join the Mo family and become a Mo person.
It's just that the rules of the Mo family are strict, and after entering the Mo family, they are not so free, everything needs to be listened to by the "organization", and any action must also gather the righteousness of the people, which is difficult for Ximen Tu to accept.
In the words of Ximen Tu when he drinks with his friends on weekdays, the Mo family is good at everything, but there are too many rules, not very free, and when you enter the Mo family, you have no mind of your own.
He can kill pigs and dogs on weekdays, but in fact, he is not the kind of person who can't get by, and when it comes to living a better life, he is actually better than the average farmer who grants land, not to mention those serfs who are bound to the noble fiefs and cannot leave at will and are subject to the ban.
When the escape of the serfs in Zhuhuyi was brewed and expanded, Ximen Tu and a few friends sighed for a long time, feeling pity for those who were hundreds of miles away.
There were many people like him in the capital of Philadelphia, and they secretly gathered together, and vowed to do something greatβif the monarch changed, they would do nothing; If the monarch does not change, they will carry out the government as the courage to sacrifice to Hebo and stop people from martyrdom.
People like Ximen Tu really take life and death as a joke.
They were very close to the Mohists, but they had some fundamental differences on some issues - from the initial belief that the Mohists had too many rules, to the gradual opposition to a tightly organized and centralized power, and that they could use assassination and violence to solve the problems of the world.
The Mo family is now in a suitable situation, and the overall policy of the Mo family is also a stable and strict system in the region, and it would rather miss some people close to the Mo family, and for the time being, it will not accept those rangers who are interested in the world but hate the organizational structure and oppose the centralized law.
As a result, these people who were able to become disciples of Mozi when Mozi was still alive were in an ambiguous marginal group with the Mojia after Mozi's death, but there were many differences on the essential issue.
The aristocrats hate them, the people need to be organized and those lack propaganda and moral roots, the Mohists will not accept them until they approve of the organization and centralization, and the people at the bottom will admire them for avenging their actions and countering violence with violence but alienate them......
But these people are still a force that cannot be underestimated, what they lack is only their own program, or their program is consistent with the Mohists on the issue of benefiting the world, but they are different in how to benefit the world: does the world need a strict organization? Does the world need a centralized power? Does the world need a draconian law? Do the affairs of the people in the world have to be solved by mobilizing the people or by relying on some people with great ambitions and brave people to use Nie Zheng's assassination of relatives, assassination of bureaucrats, and Cao Di's robbery of the alliance?
Ximen Tu didn't know that at the Mojia meeting in Pengcheng, the evaluation of people like them was: temporary fellow travelers.
Fellow travelers can be together, and they can support each other on the way, but if they are only temporarily on the same road, then there will be a day of separation after all. The Mo family can be allies with them, but they will not give up their organizational bottom line to accept these people unconditionally.
Ximen Tu didn't know what the Mo family's high-level people were saying about them, and he was still full of admiration for some of the Mo family's high-level figures full of legends.
When he and a few friends in the crowd pulled out daggers and took out gunpowder mines to prepare to do something big, Meng Sheng, the "swordsman" whom Ximen Tu admired, stood up.
So Ximen Tu and the others temporarily put away the dagger, and saw Meng Sheng standing between the people and the soldiers, majestic and fearless, so they nodded secretly, and there was a little respect in their hearts.
The armorers who wanted to capture people wore armor and held swords.
Meng Sheng and the others were not numerous, they all wore short brown and had no armor.
Ximen Tu thought to himself, they all said that Meng Sheng's swordsmanship was extremely high, and he also had something to do in Chudi, and three or five ordinary people were not his opponents, but after all, he didn't wear armor.
Now standing in front of the armor like this, majestic and fearless, I am afraid that I may not be able to do it, and I am a real warrior.
He and a few friends stepped forward to get together, only to hear that there was no one next to Meng Sheng, as if he was not at all in the armor soldiers of Fei Guo holding blades around him, he turned his body to the side and said to everyone: "Today's matter, please also ask Fei Jun and Qingchen to give me Meng Sheng a face, don't use swords!" β
The few ink men around him who followed him to negotiate were also like no one, and although they had swords at their waists, their hands did not touch the hilt of the sword, but only their hands were hanging down.
Fei's armor was raging, but he didn't dare to do it. Behind Meng Sheng's affection, there is the righteous teacher of the Mo family in Sishang, and the guns of the righteous teacher, originally they were going to drive away the people and arrest Ji Sunluan.
But Meng Sheng's words, one person, made those nobles who commanded the armor at a loss, and they didn't dare to move and couldn't move.
And this, in the eyes of Ximen Tu and other warriors, is as clear as a celestial being, and they have many illusions that they can also do this to deter a country and a monarch.
Meng Sheng has his own demeanor, fearlessness, and heroic spirit, and his words are supported by the strength of the Mo family, and it is really a person who makes the chaos around him stagnate.
Several nobles asked in a loud voice: "Ji Sunluan insulted the monarch, the monarch is the foundation of a country, is the Mo family going to insult the Fei country?" Although the country of Fei is small, it also has thousands of soldiers, and such an insult cannot be beared. What is the meaning of the Mo family? β
Meng Sheng slowly walked in front of the armor, turned his back to the people, and stood between the armorers and the people together with the few ink men.
After listening to the nobleman's inquiry, Meng Sheng said: "The Mo family has its own morality. Whatever is righteous, do it, and whatever is unrighteous do not. The Mohists did not want to insult the Fei country, but hoped to benefit the Fei country. This time I came from Pengcheng, didn't it bring benefits to Fei Guo? You don't accept it, but you think that the Mo family insulted Fei Guo, isn't this ridiculous? β
Xiao Si Kou said angrily: "The Mo family is good at arguing, I won't fight with you." I only ask you, today's affairs, is the Mo family going to be on the side of the rebellion? β
Meng Sheng said loudly: "The Mo family only stands on the side of the people of the world. What is the sin of the people seeking profit? If you use your sword to slaughter, the Mo family will think that this is tyranny and injustice. β
Xiao Si Kou sneered: "As you said, we can't expel the rebellion, otherwise it will be unjust. And those who rebel can insult the monarch? What kind of truth is this? Could it be that insulting the monarch is the righteousness of the Mo family? β
Meng Sheng said in a deep voice: "The will of the people is turbulent and cannot be violated. The people are the foundation of the state, and if we cannot act in accordance with the will of the people and make the people profit, the country will be in chaos. Today, please let Fei Jun see the power of the people and make a decision. β
"Exemption from taxation is a small benefit, and it cannot make the people get big benefits. The difference between the big and the small, the people are still clear, and please ask Fei Jun to think about it again. β
"As for the attitude of the Mo family......"
