Chapter 172: Conformism (4)
When Song Gong was helpless, the ink man was like a rain in a long drought, which made Song Gong see hope.
Before the previous Song Duke went to Huimeng, he wanted to go to Peiyi to see if the ink scholar could really be governed, and he also wanted Mo Zhai, who scolded him at the beginning, to know that his astrological prayer method could really bring the dead back to life, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance.
The new Song Gong is young and has always looked down on his father.
Yu Mo also has contact on weekdays, and it is not a day or two for Mo to help defend the city, so after a little discussion, he immediately presented the tiger talisman defending the city and handed over all the defense of Shangqiu City to Mo Zhai.
This is the trust that Mo Zhai has gained in his 50 years of righteousness.
Before Mozi's order, he had already roughly figured out the emotions at the bottom of Shangqiu City, and smiled at those rumors and nursery rhymes.
One was written by him, and the other was obviously made up to accompany this nursery rhyme, and he didn't care at all.
The Mo people who defend the city must first explain the order, and the appropriate part of the Xuanyi Department is to explain the Mo people's city guard order clearly when the time comes.
Defending the city is not as usual than usual, so the laws of the ink are extremely strict.
In the past, the Moshi preached the law, and it also needed to be conveyed from top to bottom.
Now that there is the Xuanyi Department, the Craftsmen's Association, the Wheat Flour Shop, the Mill and other gathering places that have long been laid out in Shangqiu, it is much easier to publicize the law of the Moji to defend the city.
It was also the first time I had seen how strict the Ink Writer's rules were to defend the city.
On a few pieces of paper, the content of the decree dictated by Mozi and written by the secretary of the book.
Suitable for a sweep of the eyes, a neat row of "kill".
Officials, soldiers, and civilians who imitate the garments of the enemy and the banners of the army shall be killed.
Those who do not obey military orders shall be killed.
Whoever gives orders without permission shall be killed.
Whoever delays the military order, kills.
Whoever hangs down the city by a halberd is killed.
Whoever goes up and down to the city and does not cooperate with the people, kills.
It's not a response to an order and shouting nonsense, kill.
Whoever lets go of the offender who has lost public property shall be killed.
Whoever grows the prestige of others and destroys my ambition, kills.
Whoever leaves his post without permission and gathers a crowd to talk nonsense shall be killed.
Those who heard the drums of the city wall but rushed to the office after the drums were beaten five times, killed.
Whoever enters without permission without permission at a certain office will be killed.
Whoever leads his subordinates out of his own office and into someone else's office is killed.
If the staff of the department does not arrest them, they shall be killed.
Take private letters, kill,
Ask for someone to be private, kill.
Whoever abandons the city to do private business shall be killed.
Whoever steals another man's wife or child shall be killed.
Whoever seduces another person's wife during the defense of the city shall be killed.
Those who run around in the army without a certificate will be killed.
The enemy's generals are few but say that they are many, that the military discipline is chaotic but that they are rectified, and that the enemy's offensive methods are stupid but that they are ingenious and killed.
The enemy shoots a letter with an arrow, and whoever picks it up without permission, kills.
The enemy shows hypocrisy to the city, and those who respond will be killed.
Whoever shoots letters at the enemy in the city, and violates this prohibition is killed, and the corpse is to be hung in the city for public display.
Whoever takes advantage of the siege to rob property, kills.
Whoever sets fire to the city, kills.
There was a fire in the city, and he left his post without asking for instructions, even if he was killed out of good intentions.
Rape ** woman, kill.
Whoever deliberately burns the grain, kills.
Anyone who deliberately destroys the weapons workshop shall be killed.
…… One by one, one by one, a few times, added to the last one, a total of more than 80 killing orders.
Obviously, this is not the first time that the Mo family has defended the city, nor is it the first time that such an order has been made, but it has been run in countless times in the previous decades of experience in defending the city, and many Mo people can even recite it.
Now that there was paper, the edict was more formal, dozens of copies were written, and those who were eloquent among the inkers were selected and preached in special clothing in the city, so that everyone could know about it.
These more than 80 are just beheaded.
Then there were more than 30 articles, which were punishments such as the three clans, hanging, and car splitting.
After reading it, I wanted to add some, but I found that I didn't have the opportunity to add it at all, and the ink man's many years of experience in defending the city were exchanged for blood in practice, which can be said to be inappropriate to add a word or subtract a word.
And these were not promulgated in the name of the Mo, but in the name of the Duke of Song, because the Moji was actually helping the Duke of Song to defend the city.
It was not the first time that many people in the city had seen the Moji guarding the city, and once these rules were promulgated, they quickly spread throughout Shangqiu.
The people in the Xuanyi Department will naturally be reasonable, but this time they don't need to be reasonable, but just explain these laws clearly, at most let the people know why they are so strict.
The inkmen in the city were already busy, selecting soldiers, assigning tasks to defend the city, recruiting women to cook, digging latrines, blocking wells outside the city, and burning trees within a hundred steps of the city......
The organization and action of the ink artist beyond this time were vividly demonstrated in a few days.
When Shi returned to Mo's side and accurately copied the next law, Mozi beckoned to Shi and said, "The matter of copying the law will be handed over to Xiaosheng first." ”
Shi glanced at it and found that it was all some rewards, Mozi explained: "There are rewards and punishments, so you can keep them." Strict rewards and punishments can last. If you only punish and not reward, how can you make everyone return to their hearts? ”
Shi walked up to Mozi and said, "Sir, today I was watching the city wall, and when I saw the wheat outside the city, I felt uneasy. ”
Mozi nodded and said, "That's exactly why I called you." The Sumai outside the city, if it is too close, must be eradicated and burned, and cannot be left to the Chu people. If this matter is not done well, I am afraid that Shangqiu may not be able to hold it. The Chu people besieged the city for a year because of the local food, but they were afraid that Shangqiu would have countless starvations. ”
Shi nodded and said: "Sir once said that if there is no foreign aid to defend the city, the best policy is to go out of the city to defeat the enemy. But now that the gentleman is about to burn down the wheat outside the city, it seems that there is only one way to defend it? ”
Mozi didn't answer in a deep voice, and asked for a while, "What do you think?" ”
Shi shook his head and said: "Rumors are rife in the city, and the disaster of Xiao Wall is imminent. The people in the city may not be willing to defend it, so what can they do if they do? The Chu people don't slaughter, after all, they still guard for those princes and nobles, even if they go to the Chu people, they still have to pay the grain tax. ”
This obvious "treason" remark sounded extremely pleasant to Mozi.
Originally, the Song State was not the Song State of the people, and if the Mo people wanted to benefit the "world", it was impossible to use the Song people's Song State and other expressions to inspire the people, and it must be applicable to the whole world.
Mozi sighed and said: "I came to defend the city, not for Song Gong and Liuqing, but they are the ones who benefit." Actually, I am not for the people in Shangqiu City, but for the people of the world. ”
"If this time can deter the king of Chu, within a few years, it will be difficult for Jin and Chu to fight. Those who come to ink in Jin are even Chu to prevent Jin; Chu Lai even Jin defended Chu, and after a few times, at least between Zheng and Song, it would be difficult to have a big war. ”
"Since we ink scholars can hold it, whoever does an unjust war in Jin and Chu will be defeated in the city, and I think it will always make the monarchs of various countries dare not move troops easily."
When he wanted to say something, Mozi waved his hand and said, "I can't see your sword of the world." I'm old! ”
"Yes, this is the only way that can be used now. Could it be that Pei County could fight against Jin Chu and restrain them from easily engaging in an unjust war? ”
"Not now, then don't you do things that benefit the world?"
"You're right, but that's the future. My approach is also right, and the benefit is now. I know that the people in the city may not be willing to defend it, but this time it must be defended, and if it is defended, no one will dare to attack the Song Dynasty within a few years, and it will always make the people of the Song Dynasty live a good life for a few years. ”
"It's been two hundred and thirty years since the Battle of Chengpu, right?"
After calculating and agreeing, Mozi sighed and said: "The battle of Chengpu is because the Chu people attacked the Song Dynasty and the Jin people came to the rescue. ”
"Since then, how many years has Song Di been born? It has always been a place of hegemony between Jin and Chu, and the people are displaced and cannot produce. ”
"If you can deter the king of Chu and make him dare not send troops easily in the future, the ink will inform the world again, only defend and not attack, and show us in the battle to defend the city, and the Jin people will not dare to send troops easily."
Shi nodded helplessly, understood what Mozi meant, it seems that Mozi wants to use what he has learned all his life, and when he is about to die of old age, he declares the world: "The city guarded by the Mozi can be captured by no one, whoever attacks will fail, and will be attacked by others, you had better not do anything about the unjust war in the Central Plains when I am alive." ”
After a while, Shi said: "Sir, I think there must be a lot of spies of the Chu people inside and outside Shangqiu City, right?" ”
Mozi smiled bitterly: "Why not inside and outside the city? Even in the Liuqing office, I'm afraid there are a lot. Can I still not understand their minds? It's just that he wants to take advantage of this to fight for power and profit. ”
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "That being the case, the Chu people should soon know about the burning of the wheat fields outside the city. The wheat fields within 30 miles must be burned, and 30 miles is exactly a day of transportation time, and if the Chu people want to use wheat as military food, they must divide their troops to cut wheat and transport wheat. ”
"At that time, the troops will be divided to besiege the city, and the real besieged strength of the Chu people will be reduced. Originally, the Chu people thought that there would be food here, so they couldn't carry too much, so they could choose to surround but not fight. ”
"Once it is a foregone conclusion, it will take time for the Chu people's food to be transferred from a distance to athletes, and the Chu people are afraid that they will have to attack the city if they don't want to."
"If the Chu people don't attack the city, they don't know the means of our ink people; The Chu people attacked the city, and some of the methods of the ink people could be known to the world. ”
Mozi showed an approving look in his eyes, beckoned Shi to approach, and said, "That's right." It is impossible to cut a hundred miles of wheat. Cutting thirty miles of wheat, the Chu people will divide their troops, which is just right. ”
"Now there are still righteous teachers in the ink man, and there are many weapons dedicated to defending the city, as well as gunpowder you made."
"It is to ring the music bell of non-attack in Shangqiu and let the world know."
After thinking about the composition of the army of the Chu State, thinking about the organizational level of the Chu army, analyzing the organizational ability of the Chu State to recruit the army in a divided manner, and thinking about the dramatic "Bed Tent Alliance" of the Chu people surrounding Shangqiu more than a hundred years ago, he whispered: "The disciple has another way to make this resonance more resounding. ”
