Yue Wang Peng was really helpless, and he wanted to break through Tengcheng in one fell swoop and re-establish his hegemony so that these small countries could be divided.

But I don't want Tengcheng to have arrived yet, and now Wucheng, Lanling, and Xuancheng have turned around in a big circle, and they are passive everywhere.

I don't dare to divide the troops, and I can't catch up at all if I don't divide the troops, and the city is not intimidation but can really be done, and the righteous teachers along the way have not committed any crimes.

After this circle, many cities have a deep-rooted impression.

The righteous teacher is the teacher of the gentleman, and he did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and he ran around for the benefit of the world.

The king of Yue is a brutal and warlike king, and he passes along the way, collecting grain and grass people, but he is not the master.

When the 40,000 army rushed back to Zhangcheng, the righteous division slipped away after breaking through a small city dozens of miles away, leaving only some traces of preparing to attack the city near Zhangcheng.

In the small town that was attacked next to it, the righteous master expelled the local Yue nobles, and was more resolute than distributing grain in Wucheng, directly dividing the public land and Lutian belonging to the Yue nobles, and freeing all the slaves.

The righteous master stayed in that small town for only ten days, but in these ten days, relying on the strong propaganda and organizational skills of the Mo family, he has completed the rough division of land in this small town, helped the poor family, punished some small officials with a bad reputation, drove out the Yue nobles in Lutian, liberated the slaves, and by the way, also promoted the vision of the "Promised Land", and even performed a few plays here......

Anyway, what the Mohists want to fight for is a farmer who can become a homesteaders, and deal with the nobility in a state of war in the Yue Kingdom, which is just a normal state of "hostility", not to "abolish the Shiqing aristocracy" and issue a letter to the princes and the old system in the world.

Yue Wang Fei was really angry this time, it was already June, and the previous alliance was disrupted by the righteous teacher, and now it has become a joke again.

After he recovered the small town and collected grain and grass in the city, he first asked the monarch of Fei to build a city defense and gather the army of Fei in the national capital.

Then steadily and steadily, he slowly walked to Lanling with a large army from Zhangguo, and slowly walked back to the vicinity of Nicheng from Lanling along the way.

When Yue Wang Peng arrived in Nicheng with his army, it was already the season of fire in July, and from April to July, the army was exhausted.

What's even more odious is that Ni Zi waited until King Yue arrived, and hurriedly pleaded guilty, saying that the food in the city had been taken away by the ink people.

King Yue originally didn't believe this, but the Mo family didn't commit any crimes before, since he was in the name of a righteous teacher, he couldn't do this kind of thing no matter how he looked at it.

When I asked again, I couldn't help but scold.

It turned out that not long after the righteous master broke through Ni Cheng before, Ni Zi, who went to the Yishui Huimeng, hurriedly returned, but on the way back, he was captured by a part of the righteous teachers who went out to Tengdi to educate him on the "government of benevolence and righteousness".

This involves the question of the right to interpret ideology, and it is said that education is something that only Zhou Tianzi, the hegemon, and the monarch of a big country can do.

However, the Mohists have been emphasizing the will of heaven, and have been saying that "I have the will of heaven as a craftsman has rules", so educating Ni Zi is "teaching on behalf of the sky", and it is not important whether the existence of heaven exists, the important thing is that the Mohists claim to have mastered the will of heaven.

Because Mozi scolded Qin Bo for being belligerent today, scolding King Yue for being belligerent tomorrow, spraying Luhou for being dull the day after tomorrow, and occasionally talking about Qi Hou's mental retardation, the basis of this scolding originated from Tianzhi.

Whether Ni Zi accepts it or not does not depend on the truth itself, but on the military strength of the Mo family.

If Zhou Tianzi can kill the Mo family, it can naturally be said that the Son of Heaven is qualified to talk about Tianzhi, but Zhou Tianzi does not have this ability, so Ni Zi can only listen. The rest of the princes want to talk about the truth of "etiquette", they have to wipe the off their bodies first, but they do not have a systematic principle and ideology, and now the theory of the five virtues has not appeared, Confucianism is in full decline, and no one can be called male and female with the Mohists in the ideological system.

As for whether Tianzhi is inviolable of private property, or is it taken for granted by the nobles of Shiqing, or is it the land of the whole world, or is it the righteousness of the nation, or is it self-denial, or it is divided into the world, or even the divine right of the monarch, that is a question of its own doctrine system.

Having the right to interpret is like the imperial examination itself, which is an excellent civil service selection system, and the key lies in what is examined.

The Mohists claim to have mastered the will of heaven, or the Confucian scholars claim to have mastered the way of benevolence and righteousness, or the church claims to have mastered the will of God, this is not a problem, the key to the problem is how to explain the problems of the world. Science itself is also a way of explaining the world, and if it proves to be effective, then it must be forcibly accepted from an early age, imperceptibly, which is normal.

Shi is not afraid to make mistakes, because he himself knows how to explain this world, so the slogans of the Mo family are "synonymous", "equal", and "love".

The one of the three colors was changed to synonymous with the Mo family, because the Mo family did not need to agitate for absolute freedom against the royal power and aristocracy, and because the power of the craftsmen and petty bourgeoisie at this time was too weak to have any possibility of success. Instead of agitating for absolute freedom against feudalism, it is simpler for the vanguard to synonymously get rid of the Shiqing aristocracy.

Based on synonym and "Tianzhi", after teaching Ni Zi a lesson, the ink writers of Tengdi used money and iron tools to buy the grain in the hands of the people of Tengdi, and those grains were originally sent by the government treasury.

The people were all enthusiastic, and they also helped to deliver the grain to the fort built on the Tengdi border.

But the Mo family did not buy all of them, in addition to leaving the rations of the people, they also left some food, and Ni Zi was a witness and wrote a letter to King Yue.

The letter said: When the two armies are fighting, they should not disturb the people, this is the will of heaven, and if they are violated, they will not be fortunate. Now that the righteous master bought the food of the people of Nidi, and also left ration seeds, the giant said that the king of Yue was a cruel and warlike king, so the Mo family was worried that the king of Yue would collect the rations of the people, so he left enough food for half a month for the army of 40,000 people, and asked the king of Yue not to rob the people of food to live in hunger.

Ni Zi is proof.

Below it is written that the Yue Wang Peng owes a total of 50,000 stone corn to the Mo family, which will be returned after the war, this stone is the small stone of the Zhou system, the Zhou system is different from the Yue system, and it is the irony that the Yue people do not have the qualifications to view China's politics in order to seek hegemony.

The amount of grain was written clearly one by one, and the king of Yue scolded him, but he was helpless, and the letter had been read by Ni Zi in the city, and the people accepted it.

Yue Wang Fei wants to be the overlord of these small countries, but it is not good to completely ignore the thoughts of the people in the national capital, and Yue Guo does not have the ability to destroy the country and build counties.

After the scolding, the army was fed, rested for three days, and feasted on cattle and sheep to beg for land!

…………

Outside the fort twenty miles outside Tengcheng, Gongzao Ye and Shi were observing the terrain, and many people were burying some huge trees in front of them.

This is a common means of defending the city of the Mohists, and the role of these giant trees is to measure the distance, and it will be used as a marker on the battlefield in future battles.

At the previous military meeting in Pei County, it had been decided to fight a decisive battle, rather than a siege counterattack relying on the fortress.

Because the Mohist high-level has reached a unified strategic purpose: to solve the threat of the Yue State in World War I, to completely break out the internal contradictions suppressed by the Yue State, to form a deterrent to the small country and force it to join the non-offensive alliance, and at the same time to show the field combat ability of the Mohist righteous division - if the Qi State takes the opportunity to pick the fruit, then it is necessary to help the defeated Yue people in the name of the world's non-offensive to deter the Qi State from going south.

All in all, it is to weaken the Yue State and force the Yue King to give up the north, but he must retain enough strength to intimidate the Qi State, and he cannot drive away the Yue State and come to the Qi State.

The confrontation of defending the city and counterattacking is actually the safest, but it is also the most uncontrollable. Once the time drags on for a long time, and the Qi people who drag it seize the opportunity to backstab Yue Guo, then the situation of the Mo family on this side will not be so perfect.

Therefore, whether it was the circle that was said to be for the purpose of "summer harvest" before, or the various preparations now, they are all preparing for a field battle to defeat King Yue in one fell swoop.

Ten days ago, the six brigades and sappers led by Shi had already returned, leaving the large army of the Yue Kingdom far away, and had rested in the fortress for ten days.

During this period, the Mojia family also completed the summer harvest and summer planting work in three counties, and basically did not delay this year's summer crops.

The righteous divisions also gathered in Tengcheng before, and when Shi returned, the army gathered, and the food, gunpowder and various ordnance were also well prepared, and they were piled up in the fortress and Tengcheng.

There are a total of sixteen infantry brigades, a volunteer brigade of the Mo family, nine heavy cannons that can shoot eight-pound iron pellets, and thirty-six small cannons that can be dragged and maneuvered on the battlefield, can fire three-pound small iron pellets, and can follow the foot soldiers.

Five hundred cavalry, more than eighty lightly armed scouts armed with crossbows or muskets.

In addition to the 700 rangers and rangers from all over the country who came to "help the righteousness", they were mainly a group of people who protected the flanks in the melee, and they were not expected to play a huge role.

This is the limit of the strength that the Mo family can mobilize, and it is precisely because this is the limit that in fact, the Mo family does not want to fight a siege counterattack at all.

Even if the fort of Tengdi has been built far beyond the level of this era, with the artillery, the Yue people have no gunpowder, and they can't gnaw a fortress in a year.

There are enough examples of wars in later generations, not to mention Europe, that is, after the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising in the later period, relying on artillery and a simple wooden fortress, seven or eight hundred people could block the siege of more than 10,000 Qing troops, if it were not for the support of British artillery, the Qing army would not be able to take the fortress with artillery configuration.

If you want to play the tunneling tactics that are suitable for Tengdi and Wucheng, you must also have enough organizational skills and mathematical skills, and you also need a large number of long-range weapons to suppress, and most importantly, ...... It was possible to blow up the gunpowder of the city walls, otherwise this zigzag tactic would not have been possible.

Just as the King of Yue was worried about the backstabbing of the Qi State, the Mo family was also worried that the Qi State would take the opportunity to pick the fruit.

At the high-level meeting of the Mohists after the conclusion of the Tongyi meeting in September last year, Shi spoke out about the necessity of this battle.

Jin Chu has been facing off for a year, and both sides are about to be unable to hold on, so there is no other possibility than a decisive battle. No matter who wins or loses in Jin and Chu, it will inevitably lead to the end of the situation of the two great powers competing - for the Mo family, the best result is that the Chu State is defeated, and the prince settles into Chu to divide the Chu State into two.

Once the situation of the two great powers is over, the expansion of the Mo family in the Surabaya valley can no longer be so blatant, but must wait for the opportunity to expand again when the victor becomes the target of the princes of the world.

So there is not much time left for the Mo family to be in the Surabaya Valley.

It is necessary to hurt the Yue country, so that the Yue country has no strength to maintain hegemony in Surabaya. It is also necessary to control the situation, not to let the Qi State take the opportunity to go south, not to go to the Central Plains to fight for hegemony but to run to the Lianghuai area, and if necessary, to support the Yue State after hurting it. Since the Yue Kingdom is a tradition of father and son killing each other and brothers killing each other to seize the throne, it is easy to have many opportunities that can be borrowed by the Mo family after the prestige of the Yue King fell sharply in this war.

If you want to do big things in the future, the Chu side must also pay close attention, and once the situation in the Surabaya valley is opened, in addition to operating the "Surabaya Princes Non-Attack" alliance to be successfully established, it is necessary to prepare for the infiltration of the Chu State. The premise is that the state of Chu is defeated in the battle with Wei and Han this time, which is full of confidence in the Mo family, and it is difficult for the Chu people to defeat the current state of Wei.

In addition, at that high-level secret meeting, Shi also talked about economic problems.

If Pei County does not completely open up the situation in the Surabaya Basin, Pei County's economy will have big problems.

In the past, relying on cattle, horses and iron tools, he absorbed a large amount of grain, and at the same time obtained excess profits, he also ensured that there was not too much currency circulating in the Peixian market, and the Mo family's ability to monopolize some necessary handicrafts controlled the price of grain in Peixian.

But now, the loans for cattle, horses and iron tools have basically been repaid, the price of grain under the surge in grain production has been reduced in Pei County, a large amount of currency is circulating in the market, and there are not enough handicrafts to meet the needs of this market, which will cause a series of problems.

All in all, there is no shortage of technology, no shortage of people, no shortage of craftsmen, no shortage of a broader Mohist system of market dissipation, and a shortage of more people who can change their careers.

The yeoman peasants in Pei County, as the basis for conscription and political stability, must not be touched, and the remaining population of the small country in the Surabaya valley can only solve the problem.

This monster in Pei County also needs a broader market, and in the case that the Shiqing aristocracy system is not broken, the consumption capacity and market in various places are too narrow. After the reform of Pei County, after nearly ten years of accumulation, the consumption capacity of 50,000 households in a county is far better than that of several Dayi, and even the center of the world such as Taoyi cannot be compared.

Transforming the world in a way that is easier to suck and devour is the self-consciousness of this monster, and if you don't obey, something big will happen and you will be counterattacked. The basis of the transformation is to get rid of the feudal system that binds the nobles and the personal land, improve the productive forces, thereby increasing the consumption capacity and filling the market with more goods.

In addition, the workshops of the Mo family are mainly smelting and military industry, and daily necessities such as iron and farm tools have been temporarily saturated in Peixian, and more handicrafts must appear in the future, and they are non-military handicrafts, in order to continuously obtain local food and stabilize the currency.

This requires the development of craftsmen and cities. After the division of land in Kepei County, there was a lack of motivation to change karma, and it would take decades or hundreds of years for the natural accumulation of land to annex and create a large number of displaced laborers, and these places, as the foundation of the Mo soldiers, would not allow this to happen, so they could only control it.

The Mo family on the Song side can stretch out their hands, but they are not as handy as after getting Surabaya, so this battle must also be fought economically.

Shi led six brigades to go around for three months, propagating the truth of the Mo family, causing the contrast between the Yue kings and the unkindness, which laid the foundation for the rapid occupation of this place after the end of World War I.

And after these three months, King Yue had to fight a decisive battle, he couldn't afford to wait, and he didn't dare to take the risk of attacking the city and relying on mobility to overtake the back road.

The decisive battle of this selected battlefield was chosen by Wang Peng, who could not be crossed, and he had to fight without fighting. He didn't know that the Mo family couldn't afford it, but he knew that he couldn't afford it himself, and he didn't dare to consume it.
