Chapter 124 - Half a Year Old (4)

As soon as the appropriate words fell, all the ink writers smacked their tongues one after another.

The statement is a bit strange, or it is not the same as the behavior of the ink artists in the past.

Although he told the people all day long: The ink is a chariot, and it needs to be followed by some apprentices.

But after all, the ink artist has not really tried it.

The Moji has always used front-wheel drive chariots for the whole army.

Whether it is the current defense of the city, or the future martyrdom of the ink man and the death of one hundred and eighty people in Yangcheng, it is the ink man who does it himself, and those righteous things have never been the existence of the ink person.

The truth is correct, the analysis is also correct, with the map and the rhetoric between the contradictions, every ink artist can understand the appropriate meaning.

It is nothing more than to set up a division belonging to the Mo people, only do righteous deeds, take advantage of the siege of the Chu people to relieve the siege of Shangqiu, and reconcile the contradictions between the nobles as a mediator, in exchange for the autonomous status of Peiyi, just like those strong counties in the Chu State.

The art of defending the city of the ink is unparalleled in the world, and the twelve siege methods have their own ways to deal with it, even Wu Qi, a figure who knows the soldiers, thinks that if Mozi and the bird guard the city of three miles and ten thousand households, they can only besiege but not attack.

At this time, it was the era of heroes, and the public loss class could allow Chu Renzhou to defeat Yu Qiangyue and take the lead in the Huaishui hegemony; Gong Shangguo can also rely on his ability to move, and the king of Yue, who was beaten by the hook of the public loss class, refused to fight back, and was willing to seal Mozi with 500 miles of land as a doctor.

However, Mozi could never accept the fiefdom unless the king agreed to do what was right. Even if you give me 500 miles of fiefdom for nothing and let me be a doctor and nobleman, but you don't need my righteousness, then goodbye is not to be discussed.

The sons of the pre-Qin Dynasty were all highly principled figures, and they were also extremely proud figures.

It's just that this rhetoric is completely different from the fiefdom.

The Moshi is not the governor of Peiyi, nor is he a doctor of Peiyi, but the people of Peiyi themselves to fight for the autonomy of Peiyi, but they just choose the Moji as the intermediary between the public will of the people and everyone.

The difference is justified, and it is exactly what many ink artists value. These are two completely different concepts from Mozi's direct appointment as Dr. Peiyi.

Twenty years later, those inkers who died generously and never whirled are still young, still sitting here, and still alive.

There is no such thing as intrigue, even if the characters of the Seven Enlightenments and the Secretaries of the Books are the radicals, as long as Mozi is still in the day, no one thinks about intrigue—there is no point.

Whether it was the controversy between Gao Sun Zi and Shi about the winery half a year ago, or the controversy about opening the field 240 steps and 1 mu or 100 steps and 1 mu a month ago, they were all just internal discussions on how to better do righteousness.

I have absolute trust in these people.

Because in the history he knows, they have proved their vow not to turn their heels with their lives.

It is also because a year ago, he used the sharpest words to force out the undetermined ink people such as Shengqiu.

Most of the rest, if nothing changes, will die in Yang City twenty years later.

Just because the giant at that time told them that if they died like this, the righteousness of the ink man would still be passed on, and there would be kings in the world who would use ink, and one day the ink man could dye the king black.

So nearly 200 people died like this, and the two ink writers who sent the letter to Tian Xiangzi ran back to Yangcheng, but they were afraid that they would not be able to catch up with the death of this martyr.

In the face of these people and such people, it can be said more straightforwardly.

Today's matter is just a blow in advance, and the ink masters discussed it with each other, and Luo Qianli heard it first: "Suitable, as you said, how many people are needed?" We're going to harvest wheat and plant summer, and we're going to dig canals, mine, and make iron, all of which we've decided a long time ago......"

Shi stretched out three fingers, Luo Qianli inhaled and said, "Three thousand? Three thousand is not enough, this is a division of soldiers, at least fifty horse chariots, one hundred chariots, this is two hundred horses and three or four hundred cattle, you can't use it! ”

When he said this, the rest of the ink scholars also shook their heads.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of cattle and horses, and there are many farmers among the ink scholars, who know that it is the busy season of agriculture and see those wooden tools pulled by cattle and horses that can greatly benefit people, and they really can't bear to recruit farmers at this time.

Although after the wheat harvest, the prestige and trust of the Moji will reach a peak, and it is not impossible to recruit 3,000 people, but the Moji has always been particular about thrift.

Non-offensive is for the sake of saving, and saving is for reproduction.

Before the appearance of Shi, Mozi calculated for all the ink people, even if it is the most difficult to double the population, as long as there is no war for twenty years, it can be doubled by three births per family.

Wars, servitude, and so on, which lead to the dispersion of more men and women and fewer gatherings, are also important reasons why the population cannot increase.

Shi said earlier that it was a teacher, and the ink people thought about a normal army, of course, it couldn't be compared with the ink people who defended the city, so they didn't think about so much training costs.

After listening to Luo Qianli say the number of three thousand, he was taken aback, and said in his heart, you really dare to think about it.

When the people below were talking, Shicai said with a bitter face: "Three hundred...... Where is the three thousand. ”

When Luo Qianli and the others heard this, they also reacted, and said with a smile: "If these three hundred people can be trained to prepare the city gate, they can indeed guard Shangqiu." ”

Before he could speak, the city in charge of money couldn't help but say, "We ink people who trained to prepare the city gate? Not to mention the people who prepared the city gates, they were people who had been trained hard by the giant for seven or eight years, that is, they had a sword, a pestle and shield, and a leather armor...... How much does it cost? ”

"Now the ink can't come up with so much money, three thousand peasant soldiers may be, and three hundred people with short swords and pestles to prepare for the city gate can't afford to train, and they don't have so much money!"

He was as anxious as burning his buttocks, the ink man had made a lot of money this year, but he spent more, and he, who was in charge of money, knew that it was terrible.

Shi also knew that he had also discussed similar things with others, and knew that it was absolutely impossible to train the most elite people to prepare for the city gate.

Shijia Dolphin has already talked about the problem of money, and also talked about the fact that these Mozi are all sharp warriors from all over the world, and they have followed Mozi to defend the city many times and train hard for several years before they can fight.

At this time, there was no impact cavalry, and the battle on the periphery of the defense of the city was not possible, and the chariots could not be attacked.

After removing the shock cavalry and chariots, the strongest shock class at this time may be the Warrior of the Ink Warriors.

However, the origins of these people are not farmers who have only accepted apprenticeship since childhood, but some down-and-out nobles and petty nobles, at least some industrialists and merchants with surplus wealth.

Since childhood, he has received swordsmanship training, and after becoming an ink master, he has practiced and learned from each other, training formations, swordsmanship, impact, grid armor and so on.

Rao has been trained since he was a child, and it has been seven or eight years that these men with swords and shields are enough to intimidate the siege of the city.

If the farmer is trained to rely on swords and shields to prepare the city gate, even if there is enough money, food, and taxes, it is not cost-effective, and the training period is too long.

Those ink men who prepare the city gate can kill them alone if they take out one, but the farmers of Peiyi are afraid that they don't have such means.

Moreover, these 300 people are only grassroots officers in the future, and it is impossible to use sword and shield soldiers as the main force for future army expansion.

Even if the gentlemen of the Yue people are all the private soldiers of the nobles and the partners of the King of Yue, there are only thousands of people who are really wearing armor and holding swords, which is enough to compete for hegemony.

The real large number, trained by the farmers, and able to match gunpowder in the future, is still the phalanx. It may be just defending the city now, but the future is unknown.

At this time, the level of infantry is not very high, just out of the transformation stage of the rise of infantry based on vehicle warfare, as long as you have an infantry that can not disperse in the marching formation and can quickly march in a phalanx formation, it is considered the peak of infantry at this time.

It may not be able to defeat the sword-wielding Yue Junzi army with the same number, but it is better because the training is simple, the transformation is easy, and the cost performance is higher.

These things have already been discussed with the giants and the high-level of the ink master in advance, and at this time, it is just a blow, and it is inconvenient to say the future.

"That's just what I said. The specific training should also be based on everyone's opinions. Money, food, armor, weapons, and time should all be taken into account, and this will be discussed later. Today, I will only talk about the formation of the Pei County Volunteer Teacher before. ”

When everyone present heard this, they generally agreed, and said, "As you said before, this thing was done." If you make it clear to the people, they will agree. ”

"The guard of the Song country, the Song people will do it, if the rest of the weak countries have our own ink people to do it, and they don't need it."

Seeing that everyone basically agreed, knowing that this matter was basically decided, he said: "I think they will agree." Now the wheat harvest and summer planting are all about to be done with a large number of people. ”

"Once the summer planting is over, we will also have to prepare for the benefit of the people, such as smelting iron and digging canals. Therefore, it is impossible to play a division of 3,000 people. But three hundred people should be able to make up the drills. ”

"In the case of these three hundred people, it is necessary to make it clear that this is for the sake of the people of Peiyi in the future, or to persuade the king to return the taxes, and the people are willing."

"Three hundred people are full-time soldiers, not production, special training. The pavilions and townships should also be prepared for the cultivation after they leave, so that they can have no worries. Or the townships and pavilions encouraged the people to cultivate a part of the land as a reward for the future—they exchanged the self-government tax for the rest of Peiyi, and the rest of the people had to do something for them. ”

He just said a rough idea, and how to do it will have to wait for the final decision.

However, since it is a blowing wind, it is impossible to just blow it to these ink writers.

After he finished speaking, Mozi personally stepped forward and said to all the ink scholars: "I think it makes sense." But the matter is still undecided. ”

"First of all, we will be busy with the wheat harvest and the summer planting. After these two things are done, once this matter is decided, everyone needs to be on the same page.

"All townships and villages in Tingli should also explain the benefits and disadvantages to the people."

"Didn't you say one to five? These are all simple truths, don't the people understand? Then you will have to make this clear. After a while, the secretary will give out a few pieces of straw silk, which are all rough, and you can go back and have a look. ”

"Last autumn, most ink writers could recognize 200 characters. Now that it's midsummer, and I have straw, ink, and pens, and a village school to listen to, I will learn more. Killing is to do righteousness, and learning words is also to do righteousness in the future. The matter of harvesting wheat has been arranged and decided before, and it will be dispersed today, and the morality of the lecture will be suspended after three days, and the wheat will be made up after the summer planting. ”

Since Mozi came forward to say that this matter made sense, and all the Mozi people did not object to it, they had already made up their minds in their hearts, and knowing that this matter was decided, they knew that I was afraid that a bloody battle would be inevitable within a year.

They were not afraid, but felt that if they did not die, they would have to learn a few more words after all, and after they dispersed, they went to the scribe's people to receive the words and straw silk to be learned this month.

Even if you die then, it will always be useful before you die.
