Chapter 224: Conspiracy

Turbidity and others can't see through the nature of the world, and they are only qualified to listen to these rumors, but they are gradually influenced.

Seeing this, Sima Chang said: "Gongzi is fighting hard in Luoyi, but Gongzi slowly betrays Xihe in order to inherit the position of prince. The affairs of the Wei State are in the hands of the bad people and traitors around the king. ”

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have done it, you will be punished. When a soldier goes to war, he should have land. But Gongzi slows down those people who want us to fight, but don't care about our family and land, what are these not bad people? ”

"Only when Gongzi is on the throne can he know our sufferings and keep our family and land."

"Gongzi is in Luoyi, controlled by traitors and contemptible people in the court, he knows that he can't do anything, and he also knows that the land of the military pawn is going to be cut away, and he often cries bitterly."

He said that how could it be that the soldiers fought for the country, but could not guarantee their land? If he really can't fight for it, he is willing to take out his fiefdom to compensate the soldiers who were cut off the land, in order to reward them for their achievements in fighting for the country. ”

"The soldiers are brave, but they have been defeated repeatedly, and he, the son, is also responsible, but the soldiers are not guilty, how can they let the soldiers suffer because of their own mistakes?"

When he said this, his eyes were full of tears, and his rough, long-held fingers rubbed his eyes, and his voice was a little choked.

A few of the soldiers next to him were also infected, and they couldn't help but say: "Gongzi is a good person, only Gongzi is a marquis, can he lead us to prosperity and strength." ”

"Yes, it is said that the son is extremely Xiao Wenhou, and such a sage can only be good if he is a king."

Good people can move others, but they can't benefit the world.

So far, it has been rumored in the army that Gongzi is a good person, Gongzi is a bad person, and there are bad people and traitors who cause trouble in the country's politics.

These rumors have always avoided a question, that is, what should a good person like Gongzi Fu do when he is in power to make the people benefit and the country rich and strong?

If you want to build a new army, where will the money come from? Where does the food come from? Who pays taxes and who is exempt from taxes?

What if some people who pay taxes pay their taxes and they don't agree? A large amount of land is owned by the aristocratic family, what about this land?

In the face of these substantive problems, these people in the military who spread rumors and incite emotions avoided them, because they could not be discussed.

Even if they deliberately avoided these topics, even when these soldiers were immersed in moving, there were still some words that ruined the atmosphere of tears and tears.

"If you want me to say, the nobles are not a good thing. What credit do they have? Born with so much land. How many of them can fight? We only have more than 100 acres of land in our lifetime, but they are only ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Sima Chang was furious, pulled out a half-burned stick from the campfire, and smacked it in the face of the grumbling soldier.

How could the soldier withstand the blow of a veteran who had been in the army for more than ten years, and the rest of the people knew that it was reasonable for the officer to beat and scold the soldier, and they didn't dare to speak.

Sima Chang said angrily: "What are you talking about? Didn't the ancestors of the nobility make meritorious deeds? Your ancestors are incompetent, so why should you covet everything that your ancestors have worked so hard for? ”

"Will the land you have acquired by war not be passed on to your children and grandchildren, but will be given to others? Isn't that the same thing? ”

"Our ancestors were incompetent, so they were poor and had no land. Those nobles may not have the merit of size, but their ancestors did make great achievements, so what is wrong with passing it on to future generations? Will not your land be passed on to your children? Why, then, do you think that it is wrong for them to occupy the land? ”

"I see that your thoughts are bewitched by the Mo family! If you say this again, you will be severely punished, and I will spare you today. ”

Xun and the others didn't dare to speak, but Wei Wei nodded, and the soldier who said strange things covered his face and thanked him for his grace.

If you say strange things in the army, you will be subject to military law.

After Sima Chang reprimanded, he said to everyone: "Don't listen to the Mo family's words. There is nothing wrong with passing on meritorious service to the children. As long as the king can do meritorious service, he will be rewarded, and no merit will be rewarded. ”

"Isn't it because your ancestors are incompetent? If the ancestors of the past years were meritorious, they could also be divided into kings, what is wrong with this? ”

"So, don't say these strange things, just work hard to kill the enemy and fight bravely."

"If he is a king, he will be rewarded for meritorious service and punished for his faults. You don't work hard, but complain that the system in the world is not good, which is why I look down on those people in the Mo family. ”

"The land is owned by the people of the world? Hmph, isn't it ridiculous? Why should the land of the world be owned by the people of the world? I also said that the land under heaven should be mine, is it useful? ”

Xun thought to himself, what Sima Chang said was indeed very reasonable.

He thought it was like the slaves and maids in his own family, who were lazy and didn't work all day long, but complained that they didn't have land. In the past, when the martial arts were founded, their parents did not have the ability to be selected as military soldiers, who is to blame?

But there were also some soldiers who had secretly read the Mo family's pamphlet and thought to themselves that what Chief Sima said was nonsense. The whole world is not the king's land, and that is because the people who did not admit these words were all dead when King Wu of Zhou beat them. If those who approve that the land of the world belongs to the people of the world, and those who do not agree with these words are beaten to death and subdued, then their words are very reasonable.

Sima Chang saw that everyone was convinced, and he wanted to say something, but what he turned over and over again was that Gongzi Gang was a good person, and there were bad people in the court, and occasionally added a few words cursing the Mo family to liberate the slaves and maids and organize common farming.

But no matter what he wants, he can't say.

…………

Luoyi, Wei Gongzi is plotting with his henchmen about the future.

He felt that Pang Juan was indeed talented, and he was from Xihe, so he could really be reused.

The age of firearms had arrived, and the Wei State did not need a group of expensive soldiers, but a large army of two-legged soldiers who could be driven by stick military law, and who could carry muskets and spears, and talking animals.

It is not necessary for these animals to know the loyalty, nor for them to know why they are fighting, but only for their officers and officers to know that war can bring wealth and military merit.

Soldiers can be solved from the poor, officers can rely on a single high-quality soldier for a lifetime to enrich the soldiers, and a new army can be pulled up.

With the army, there can be power, and with power can be subdued by the nobility of the country and appropriate changes can be carried out.

Their economic privileges can be recognized, but they also need to send troops and military endowments to organize a standing army, and the military power is vested in the monarch, only in this way can the Wei state survive in this troubled era.

If not, what can we do?

If it remains unchanged, the Wei State has been beaten into a water dog, and if it remains unchanged, it will be wiped out, and the temple will collapse.

change, the Qin State can't learn that set, there is no external environment, so if the law is changed, the princes will take the opportunity to divide the Wei State.

The one in Sishang is even more impossible.

It is only possible to go the other way.

That is, relying on the new samurai and the old nobles, they merged into a large military aristocratic interest group.

Military blocs can benefit from external expansion; For internal repression, the officers and nobles are the oppressors at the bottom, and they must work together.

Moreover, it is difficult for a self-conscious farmer who knows how to seek profit can hardly bear the misery of the battlefield today: his comrade is smashed in the head with an iron pellet with a swish, his partner is shattered in the chest by a musket from a hundred paces away, and he still has to step on the drum to maintain the formation.

Since there is no way to learn the set of Sishang, the best soldiers are the lowest level of numbness who have been tortured by life, those farmers who have been trapped in the fiefdom and have never seen the outside world in their lives.

The major affairs of the country are enshrined in Rong, the soldiers are related to the survival of the country, the disputes of the countries, and the reform of the military system is the foundation for the continuation of all countries.

Of course, it's about the future.

And now, what Gongzi Gang has to do is how to seize power in a coup d'Γ©tat, how to feed this group of soldiers with Gongzi's corpse, how to stabilize the domestic situation, how to fight for Wei not to be carved up too ruthlessly, and how to obtain the maximum benefits in the anti-Mexico war in the near future.

I have been plotting with my henchmen for a long time, and these henchmen have also learned some methods from Sishang, and they have made use of them to build a detailed conspiracy plan.

First of all, he sent people in the capital to disguise himself as ink people to incite the discontent of the lower classes because of the defeat and the imminent conscription and taxation of the war.

The main object of this discontent was the nobles, who pointed the finger at them and demanded change, causing panic among the nobles in the capital.

Then use the controlled soldiers to incite emotions, and when the time comes, once there is too much dissatisfaction in the city, the soldiers will definitely be mobilized to approach the capital.

When the time comes, let the soldiers break into the city and kill the prince to ease his cronies.

Once the soldiers enter the city to mutiny, the city will be chaotic, and those disgruntled people will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and the nobles do not know whether these soldiers will riot with the people and lead to uncontrollable.

At this time, whoever can come forward to stabilize the situation will be the chosen son and the best heir.

Gongzi Fu took this opportunity to return to Anyi, using the forces and officers in the army to control the soldiers, suppress the rebellion at the bottom, ensure the interests of the nobles, and obtain the support of the nobles.

The massacre of a part of the capital's low-level riots and disgruntled people, as a vote to the nobles and princes, also forced the Mo family to declare war on Wei, so as to use the threat of the Mo family to force the princes not to oppress the Wei state too hard.

Then, he quickly had secret talks with Korea, saying that Wei was resolutely anti-Moxican, and took the initiative to provoke incidents in Chengyang, Daliang and other places, forcing Korea to get the princes to reach an agreement as soon as possible.

At the same time, he had a secret discussion with the Qin State that he could cut the land, but he couldn't cut too much. With the help of the oppression caused by the declaration of war on Mexico, it fought for greater benefits for Wei and allowed Qin to get a part of its bottom line.

At the same time, because of the early war against Mexico, the Qi State must be nervous, and the Wei State used the attitude of dragging the princes into the water with suicide, so that the Qi State understood that everyone would die together, and the Wei State had nothing to lose anyway, thus forcing the Qi State to only hope that the princes would work together to fight against Mexico instead of regenerating the war.

Under the mediation of Han and Qi, the Qin State would not insist too much. When the time comes, he will use Gongzi to ease the fiefdoms of his cronies and nobles, cut the flesh and mend the sores, compensate those Xihe pawns who lost their land because of the land cut, complete the promise to the Xihe pawns, and obtain an army that can be controlled.

The salt, iron and other industries of the Wei State were sold in the form of franchises to large merchants who could provide military expenses, and there was no army without money.

Then, taking advantage of the previous Mojia propaganda in the capital and the dissatisfaction of the lower ranks to intimidate the nobles, on the premise of ensuring the economic rights of the nobles, forced the nobles to accept the conditions of military endowments and soldiers, turned military soldiers into samurai, and expanded a new army.

Then wait and see what happens, resign yourself to fate, and expect the Mo family not to win or lose.

The general trend cannot be reversed, Gongzi Gang can only do so much, and the Mo family's victory or defeat is not good for Wei, but this is not determined by Wei's military strength at this time.
