Chapter 318: The Princes' Sideways Eyes on the Market (4)

Zheng Guo is considered to have brought disaster upon himself, and this matter involves internal disputes among the nobles, and the Mo family does not want to participate.

Or rather, inability to participate.

Zheng Feisong, the Mo family's influence over there is insufficient, and ...... Zheng Guo's surrounding environment is much worse than that of Song Guo, and it is sandwiched between Jin and Chu, which is a place of contention.

Coupled with the three points of the Jin Kingdom, South Korea was locked by Wei Chu, and the only direction of expansion was Zheng Guo, if you can uphold the heart of a small country with the help of the internal contradictions of the Three Jin Dynasty and the contradictions between Jin and Chu, you can actually survive, but unfortunately you don't want to be a small country, and you don't have the size of a big country, and the tragedy is inevitable.

There are at least small countries such as Teng and Xue around the Song Kingdom, and the later generations of the Song Kingdom have another opportunity to be a "Song Dynasty", but Zheng Guo is really dead.

If you can't save it, you can only sell some weapons, and use the influence of this battle of Niu Langyi to spread the word and accumulate strength for the Mo family's future affairs.

After thinking about it carefully, Mozi said: "Shi said, in the end of this matter, all the Mo family can do is to come forward and let the Chu State not kill and slaughter the city as much as possible after defeating the Zheng State." This matter is the only thing our Mo family can do. ”

After speaking, he took the letter written in Ming, looked at the beginning, and couldn't help but smile.

At the beginning, it was said that this letter should be disseminated as soon as possible with the help of the Mo family's relationship and influence in the cities of Ayutthaya and Juyi.

The title of the letter is "Conformism: On the Nine Numbers of Geometry, Gunpowder and Defending the City".

After just a few glances, Mozi felt that these things were extremely familiar, especially the hand-painted polygonal structure and the protruding concave and convex walls.

Mozi said in his heart, although he knew that it was beneficial to defend the city by the wall, and he also knew why it was beneficial, but it was difficult to express it in such a simple and simple way that everyone could understand.

The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and when I saw it, I found that I had played a trick again.

He attributed all the credit for the retreat of the Jin and Zheng coalition forces in Niu Yi to the Mo family, and vigorously advocated the idea of building the capital and some important cities into fortresses to maintain peace.

It is also a copy of the previous plan of the Soldiers' Association, hoping to build the fear of the attacker with an impenetrable shield, so as to disguise that what the Mo family seems to have always wanted is as simple as the world's soldiers not attacking.

After reading them, Mozi put the pages aside and recalled the conversation a few years ago when the character appeared in cheap characters.

There is a dialogue about literacy is not literacy, about the synonym of the world, and about whether the Mohist script can become the universal script of the world.

Mozi remembered that at that time, he said that he would force the world's scholars and even nobles to learn the Mohist script, and force everyone who wanted to become a virtuous person to learn the Mohist script, because he had a heavenly will.

At that time, Mozi felt that the scholars did not necessarily like the study of harvest and hundreds of crafts, and their wishes were beautiful, but how could they do it?

And now, seeing these pages, Mozi seems to understand.

From now on, the science of geometry must shine brightly, because it must be used to defend the city, to defend, and even to measure the land reform law and levy taxes on private acres in the future.

In the turbulent times of the world, this is the stage of war, and a book of defending the city can make more scholars have to learn the Mohist script, in order to be able to understand more follow-up content.

This is to put the Mohist text there, not to ask those people to learn, but to let those people beg the Mohist to teach.

Mozi thought that this was just the beginning.

After that, there will be more things that people have to learn, and who can provide those knowledge except the current Mo family? Those who need to learn need to be written in such words, so how can those who want to learn not learn it?

Those who take the initiative to learn, they are literate, but they do not know the words of the Mohists, but the words of various countries.

Those who were illiterate before, they just started from scratch, then words are words, and it seems that this has always been cheap and simple.

When the carrier of the world's learning is such a text, those old words will naturally gradually unify and change until they merge.

After all, the origin of those words written by Shihui is just Qin Li, and he was only matured by him when he was born here.

Mozi thought, Shi actually wants to tell the people of the world, or want the people of the world to think about this problem: If things like defending the city can be explained by such things as Tianzhi geometry and nine numbers, then the Mo family often says that I have Tianzhi and a craftsman has rules to rule the world, why is it wrong?

People may be able to use reason and reasoning to introduce a better system and rules, but as for whether it is suitable for the so-called Paradise Nine Folds and the like, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that people will feel that those rules of the world that are taken for granted are no longer so taken for granted.

Mozi secretly said, just like the knowledge of geometric nine numbers, the rigorous deduction of knowledge and dialectics can actually deduce the world.

So he said, "I think the right way can be used." This led to the transcription of this letter, and the use of our strongholds in various great cities to pass it on to the whole world. ”

After thinking for a while, he put the pieces of paper on the desk and said, "There is no need to add or delete." ”

After the rest of the people saw it, they also happily agreed, and the grandson smiled bitterly: "In this way, the people who travel to Pei County are afraid that it will be more messy." There are those who want to benefit the world, those who just want to learn geometry to seek the position of a small official, and those who want to study the art of gunpowder to defend the city and make a career. ”

Mozi laughed and said, "If someone learns, they teach." After all, this is Tianzhi, and there are many people who learn, and there are always benefits. If, as it is said, there are so many fortresses that it is difficult for the warlike king to attack, and it may indeed be possible to defeat the army for a short time. ”

"The law of siege is not passed on to the outside world, and this kind of city building method that deliberately leaves flaws and loopholes spreads at will. Leave the future to the young people. ”

The high grandson sighed and nodded helplessly, and since everyone agreed, he immediately asked someone to prepare to copy it, and use the advantages of the Mo family's fast horses and stirrup riders to spread it all over the world as soon as possible.

…………

Just after the New Year, a burst of firecrackers finally came from the market in Anyi, the capital of Wei, and many people gathered near the Mo family's stronghold in Anyi to listen to the battle of Niu Yiyi that took place in the autumn.

Many of the Wei people who had fought in that battle returned to their hometowns, bringing back to Anyi the fear of white smoke and thunder.

A brand new knowledge called geometry, with the help of this time to defend the city, quickly spread throughout some cities, and many travelers who wanted to make a career learned the Mojia cheap characters every day, striving to be able to understand those articles.

The ideal of benefiting the world is not able to attract every traveler. However, the dream of Izushi seems to be a shortcut to learning geometry and city building.

The simple figure introduces the advantages of the concave city wall, uses simple geometry to explain the meaning of the row wall, and uses a simple number of nine to explain the difference in the number of people who unfold the polygonal city wall.

What's more important is that the Mohists seem to have created another legend.

The Mo family will not admit that they went into battle shirtless in Niu Langyi, but only said that they sold weapons to defend the city and helped improve the city defense, and then the small Niu Langyi resisted the attack of the Jin and Zheng 70,000 coalition forces for more than ten days, and forced the Jin and Zheng coalition forces to retreat!

Moreover, it is only a city of peasant soldiers, and there is no elite, which is already another legend.

Because the legend was created, when the legend appeared on the Mo family again, there was no doubt in the market, and those soldiers who had experienced the war would not know the political purpose behind the retreat, only that the result was that thousands of dead and wounded did not even touch the city.

In addition to the Mo family's newspaper and this pamphlet, there were also several bronze handcuffs, which were displayed in the city, and there were also ink masters demonstrating loading and shooting, which attracted bursts of cheers from time to time, or some good shooters questioned how this thing could compare to bows and arrows?

Some stories become more and more magical. And those who don't believe in magic begin to savor the contents of those pamphlets, considering why these things are put together and why the cities have become so difficult to attack.

In the palace of the Marquis of Wei, Gongzi angrily slapped a copied newspaper and pamphlet, and scolded: "What nonsense! How did I get forced out of the city by their defenses? If it weren't for the Zheng people surrounding Yang Zhai, Han Hou Xu, and the Han people retreating, wouldn't I really be able to capture this little Niu Yi? ”

How could he not be angry? How many battles have I gone through since I captured Fancheng, and where have I failed?

But this time, it was rumored in the market that he personally led 70,000 coalition troops and was defeated in a small town with less than 10,000 households without elite soldiers!

Although Tian Zifang, Li Kui and others were constantly relieved, in the eyes of Gongzi, this was humiliation.

At that time, Li Kui said that he would be transferred to Wu Qi to attack Chu, and thought that Gongzi's ability to attack was insufficient, and now these words were like a thorn in his face.

Gongzi thought to himself, what can Wu Qi do? Could he have been able to capture Luyang in the case of Han Hou and Zheng Ren's rebellion?

But what is this...... There is no way to say, and there is no chance to repeat all this, all the humiliation can only be borne by him.

The aging Weiss saw his son angry and shouted: "According to the widow, what the Mo family said is not bad. ”

"If there is no Niu Yi, can't you defeat Lu Yanggong? If Niu Yanyi did not have the Mo family to help defend it, it would also go down in an instant, I am afraid that the Zheng people have not yet sent troops to Yangzhai, and Lu Yanggong has been defeated. ”

"You can't attack the bull and retreat, the Mo family is not lying. They're only telling part of the truth, but you can't say they're nonsense. ”

Gongzi held back his anger and said: "In Niu Langyi, there will be the Mo family to defend the city. Shouldn't this be blamed on the Song Dynasty, or the crusade against Surabaya, where the Mo family is entrenched? ”

Wei Si smiled, his hoarse voice was a little bitter, and he asked rhetorically for a long time: "Niu Langyi is still difficult to attack, ask me Wei Shi to attack Surabaya, which can capture the king of Chu through the formation?" Now Xiong Su is restless day and night, crying for talents, are you trying to force all the Mo family to Chu State? ”

"Song has been neutral, at this time, ask Song to blame, is this to let Song Chu form an alliance?"

"Zhao Hou Xinxue, Han Hou Xinxue, Zheng people betray the alliance, and the Chu people can breathe, at this time, we want to let hundreds of Mo family talents all enter Chu?"

"Don't talk about sin, that is, you can't even mention it, you can only pretend not to know. Proposed, the Mo family only used arguments to say that we are waiting for an unjust war, all the staff will enter Chu, and even gunpowder will not sell us, so as to help the Chu people change the law, what will happen when the time comes? ”

"In the first battle of Niu Yi, all the princes of the world have asked for the Mo family, and they dare not fight with it. But because of these words, you are angry, you want to be the king of a country, not a famous general! ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, Gongzi didn't dare to speak, so he could only stand with his head down, Weiss coughed a few times and said: "I just settled the dispute between Zheng and Han, and the Zheng people retreated, only to offset each other with the enmity of Yougong." The Zhao people have always had other intentions, but now the younger brother of Zhao has inherited as the Marquis of Zhao, and there are talents such as Gongzhong Lian, and they have long been unwilling to fight with Chu. ”

"Han Hou Xinxue, there is chaos in the country again, and he can't go out for three years. This year, he will also meet with Zhao Han Xinjun, and he can't attack Chu. Zheng Ren entered the prince and won Wuyang, and Niu Yiyi fought a battle, and those feudal monarchs who waited and saw could only support the king of Chu...... The situation is no better than before! ”

"If you really force all the Mo families to the Chu State, hundreds of Mo people, hundreds of people are proficient in building cities, and they will build Daliang, Fenchengsai, Kunyang, and Gaoling into the style of Niu Langyi; Reform the law of the Chu State and the passage of government decrees, and the spread of iron tools in the reform of crops...... I was dead then, what would you do? ”

Weiss's anger gradually subsided, and he took a long breath and said, "In the past, what did Tian Zifang teach you about the pride of the rich and the poor? Do you remember? ”

Childe snorted and said: "The poor and lowly are proud, and the rich and noble dare to be proud!" The king and the proud will lose his country, and the doctor will lose his home. Those who have lost their country have not heard of those who have been treated by the country, and those who have lost their homes have not heard of those who have been treated with their homes. If the husband is poor and lowly, he does not use his words and deeds, and he will accept his deeds and go away, and he will not be poor and lowly! ”

Weiss shouted: "You remember! If the husband is poor and lowly, he does not use his words and does not agree, so he will accept his duties and go away! You are angry with the Mo family, you don't use the Mo family's mechanical skills and knowledge for the rest of your life, a group of people in short brown straw shoes, the knowledge is only in the heart, and when the time comes, the world is so big, where can you go? ”

"If you enter Chu, you will be strong, and if you enter Qin, you will be fierce! After the first battle of Niu Qiyi, don't say that you didn't catch the Mo family's people in Niu Qiyi to command and defend the city, even if you are caught, what can you do? To ask for sin? They think that we are an unrighteous war, and with their morality, what is the sin? ”

Gongzi raised his head and said: "The morality of the Mo family is the obscenity of the world!" They say it's an unjust war, but is it an unjust war? Righteousness or unrighteousness, when will it be their turn to decide? Does my father really believe what Mo Zhai said, that he has a heavenly ambition like a craftsman's rules? ”

Weiss shook his head and said, "You can beat them, catch them, interrogate them, and kill them all, so naturally you can say that their rules are not in line with the world, and they are very wrong." You can't catch it cleanly, you can't kill it, there are still Qi, Qin, Chu, and Zhao in the world in addition to my Wei, if you don't recognize their rules, naturally some people rush to admit it! ”

Weiss pointed to the pieces of paper and said, "Their rules are tied to the art of defending the city, smelting iron, gunpowder, geometry, building the city, harvesting, and hundreds of labors. If you oppose their rules, they won't give these things, can you convince Qi, Qin, Chu, and Zhao to oppose them? Zhou Tianzi is already weak, and the world is in contention, as long as he can enrich the country and strengthen the army, respect the rules and etiquette system...... Who cares? ”
