has not yet clearly shouted the slogan of stabilizing the world, abolishing the division of princes, and determining the world in one, and has obtained the benefit that the princes of the world will not unanimously oppose it, and they have to bear the helplessness of moving the people of Pei County with other words before sending troops.

Before we can completely break with the old era, we still need to abide by the following rules of the world at this time. After all, Pei County was still subordinate to the Song State at this time, and in order to prevent the joint strangulation of the princes of the world, the Mo family also used the legal principle of "autonomy based on the public will of the people".

On the surface, he never said that he wanted to "use Pei County as the foundation to break the old rules of the world to build a happy land".

There is no doubt that the righteous teachers and the army are firmly in the hands of the Mo family. The Mo family benefits the world, but it can't ask everyone in Pei County to benefit the world.

In the middle of March, representatives of the selected ink artists or non-ink people from several townships in Pei County gathered in Pei County, as the people who carried the public will, the ink people had accounted for the majority, but there were still some local non-ink people.

After Kitt finished his request speech, Shi also came forward as a Mo family to make a speech.

"The more warlike the world is. In the past 20 years, the countries of Xuan, Teng, Tan and other countries have been exterminated, and 10,000 people have been captured as slaves. In the first battle with Qi, 3,000 households of Qi were slaves, and the Marquis of Qi participated in the Yue king, and an alliance was formed. ”

"Now Yue Wang is also a warlike king, Tengdi is within hundreds of miles of Pei County, if one day the Yue people are strong, they will definitely occupy Surabaya and plunder slaves."

"Moreover, the Yue Kingdom has a wide range of people, which is quite inconsistent with the system of Pei County. The people of Pei County did not want to go back to the era when there were still feudal monarchs. ”

"As far as the Mo people are concerned, Gongzi specially recognizes the morality of the Mo family, and the restoration of the country in the future will also be beneficial to the people of the land, which can be regarded as benefiting the world. This battle is to be fought by the Mo family. ”

"For the people of Pei County, this battle is also for their own interests. In the military formation, the so-called death is life, and the lucky life is death. Looking at the world is the same reason, if we want the world to be free of contention, we must fight. Otherwise, one day in the future, a warlike slave and unrighteous country like Yue will annex the land, become more and more powerful, and the people will be insatiable, will Pei County be spared? ”

"Now there are only Pengcheng and Pei who implement such rules in Pei County. Relative to the world, such as the millet of the sea, the hair of the nine cows. Therefore, the rules of Peixian and Pengcheng are the obscenity of the world, and only we are guarding. If Tengdi is restored, then Teng will also implement such rules, and they will guard all this like us, and it will be less likely to be occupied by the warlike and unrighteous king. ”

…… From the perspective of long-term interests, he explained that attacking Tengdi is also beneficial to the people of Peixian, so as to make a logical self-consistency.

Most of these people, who represent the public opinion of tens of thousands of households in Pei County, are Mo people, and they have already completed the "synonym" of this matter internally, and the remaining half are ignorant and just think that what the Mo family said should be right, and the remaining ones also agree after hearing this.

The Mohists are not attacking, but they are not opposed to fighting, Mozi once made an analogy.

"What merit is for him to attack an unrighteous country by setting up a drum and make the people go to war, and to make the people go to war alone without drums?"

Mozi not only agrees with the attack on the unrighteous country, but also thinks that he should be the kind of person who "drums and makes the people go to war", and it is precisely the Mozi who should be said to be the vanguard and chariot of the unjust country, not a pawn.

Under the words, these people who represented the "public will" of Pei County all passed the resolution of the righteous division to send troops to Tengdi, relieve the people of Tengdi, and attack the unrighteous Yue.

This matter involves Pei County's taxes, fiscal expenditure budget, and so on. Part of the military expenditure of Pei County volunteers came from Pei County's taxes, and the other part was actually the Mo family's money to subsidize it, relying on handicraft and commerce to suck blood from various countries to support such an army.

Before it was clearly shouted that it was to get rid of the old and establish the new and make enemies of the princes of the world, the treasury of Pei County belonged to Pei County, and the Mo family's industry belonged to the Mo family, and the two seemed to be vague and inseparable, but in fact there was still a clear boundary.

Everyone decided to agree to send troops, and the Mo Shi in Pei County, who was similar to the name "Yi Zai", immediately came up with a complete set of logistics plans, which had been formulated a long time ago, and as long as everyone approved it, it would be implemented immediately.

In the plan, the affairs of the army have nothing to do with the Pei County government, and the logistics, grain and grass, and the labor that goes with the army need to be clear and accurate.

The army sent 5,000 people this time, and some of them were left in Pei County to continue to train the new soldiers who had just served in the winter and maintain the stability of Pei County.

Behind these 5,000 people, it is necessary to mobilize 7,000 people to transport grain, grass, tools, and capture the iron tools and grains used for the development and production of the Fujian country, and when necessary, they must also mobilize to dig the camp, and use a month to renovate the city defense of Teng County after the city is broken.

More than a month later, the wheat harvest coincided, during which everyone would not be delayed to come back to the wheat harvest, and a certain amount of money would be returned every day, which was a new rule that had never been seen before, and it was also a rule that Pei County was able to subdue the people.

The logistical mobilization of 7,000 troops with the army was distributed according to the number of households in each township, and the assembly was required to be completed in Pei County within seven days.

Seven days later, the grassroots control and organization of the princes, far better than at this time, were vividly reflected, and 7,000 people, 500 ox carts or carriages, and thousands of wheelbarrows and ink carts accumulated by the wealth accumulated over the past few years were gathered outside the city of Peixian.

There have been no wars for many years, and the dividends brought by the agricultural revolution are the accumulation of large quantities of grain, which are the best choice for farmers when the price falls, or in exchange for the strange paper of the Mojia hairstyle or simple tokens made of cotton.

The quantity of grain is registered, loaded on the car, and the deed of receipt is prepared according to the Shiwu, and the grain to be consumed on the way is calculated.

Under the busyness, the righteous master has also completed the oath of the Eastern Crusade.

Three hundred cavalry in a group of ten, led by Mo, set out from near Teng Township first. They served as scouts in the early stage, and later on the mobility of horses, controlled the battlefield, and hunted down the scouts of the Yue people to ensure the safety of the march along the way.

This road is basically plain, but there is no need to worry about the Yue people ambushing.

Shi rode a jujube red horse, looked at the farmers who were receiving military rations and other sundries on the outskirts of busy Pei County, and said in his heart that the number of people on this expedition was more than 10,000, and as long as this battle was fought beautifully, the situation in the lower reaches of Surabaya would be completely changed.

This was also the first time he himself had actually commanded a battle of thousands of people, and these thousands of people could be counted as elite at this time, and they could completely compete with some countries of a thousand times.

In the middle of his emotion, Meng Sheng arrived on horseback, shook the "pants" on the hem, and said with a smile: "It is rumored that Hu Ren is good at riding and shooting, and his clothes are not the same as those of China." Now that he has stirrups, the rider has learned the costumes of the Hu people. ”

Shi grinned and said: "The ink man wears more short brown, but it also saves the jade pendant that is pressed down." ”

Speaking of this, I can't help but think of Hufu riding and shooting decades later, and now the eloquent King Zhao Wuling is still early from birth, but I am afraid that as soon as the stirrups come out, all countries may have to change.

Nowadays, the clothes of the righteous master and the disciples of the Mo family are made of cotton cloth, and most of them are cut to the improved short brown appearance, and the cavalry began to wear more convenient pants, and most of the cavalry wore leather boots.

Peixian County's cotton cloth industry is developing very rapidly, in addition to providing military supplies, clothing tents, but also a large number of exports.

Simple bandaging also required a large amount of cotton cloth and cotton yarn, and simple disinfection required spirits, and many were procured on this expedition, some of which were provided by the Mohists' own workshops, and the other was privately owned by some merchants and craftsmen.

In addition to the people's husbands, there were also doctors who accompanied the army, and the famous Qin Yue people in later generations were also among them, but it was Luhua who led the team, which was deliberate to highlight the status of women.

I don't know how to use medical skills, but I know that the main cause of the death of wounded soldiers can reduce a lot of wounded deaths as long as you are a little more regular and pay attention to it.

These seemingly meaningless things are indeed of great significance to the Mohists who want to stabilize the world, change customs, and change rules in the future.

This expedition was also greatly supported by the merchants and craftsmen of Pei County. On the one hand, they purchased a lot of their goods, and on the other hand, they also needed a wider territory controlled by the Mohists as a market and a source of raw materials.

They don't know so much, but they have the most basic class instincts and sense of smell.

For some things, the handicraft craftsman's sense of smell is very sensitive, like the simplest wine, and the consumption of Peixian wine is far greater than that of the rest of the Song Kingdom, because the transformation of iron ox farming has been completed here, and there are enough "goods" that can be exchanged, and the rest of the place is still far behind.

There are some things that the merchant has a keen sense of smell, and many goods can be sold out quickly when they arrive in Peidi, while it may take three or five years elsewhere. They don't know that all this is because of the development of productive forces, but they do know that the place where the Moshi runs is quite "rich".

Whether it is Shang Xian or Fei Xian, what is opposed is the aristocratic blood system, and all classes under the nobility have the same purpose at this time, and it is far from the time to part ways.

Looking at Peixian, which was jubilant, even a little fanatical, and where the nobility and theocracy had basically been cleaned up in the past few years, he was sure that this war would be won.

Even if they were defeated in Tengdi, the Yue people would not have the ability to capture Peixian, and once the people here stood up, it would be difficult to make them kneel down again.

So he nodded at Meng Sheng with confidence, lightly pinched the horse's belly, and walked away with him.

After the 5,000-strong righteous division was assembled, where to rest, where to camp, and where to light a fire and cook along the way had been arranged in advance, as long as the scouts could control the battlefield, nothing would go wrong.

Two days later, the army went up dozens of miles along Surabaya and then went east along the road, at this time there was no Weishan Lake, bypassing Daze to march, twenty-five miles a day, and camped and rested before the sun set.

The cavalry sent out has completely controlled the battlefield, the number of scouts of the Yue people is small and they do not ride horses, and they are mostly captured when they encounter, and there are already scouts who have arrived near Tengcheng, reporting that the Yue people closed the gate and originally only let them go out of the city in the morning.

But yesterday morning, several scouts approached the city gate and shouted a few words in Tengdi's language to the city, and the Yue people closed the city gate tightly, not daring to open it again.

The more people want to rescue, the number of people is small, and it is impossible to complete the preparation for the expedition this year.
