Chapter 192 The city is still afraid of the Xiaoqiang disaster (1)

After entering the city, he saw the giants and talked about the matter of the Chu camp, and only said that he had fulfilled his mission.

Mozi chose a good witch to prepare to join the Chu camp again and form an alliance with the Chu people. At that time, Mozi might have to go to meet the King of Chu in person.

As a transnational organization independent of various countries and higher than various vassal states and official towns, if the Mohist family is in alliance with the Chu people, the giants need to come forward in person.

The secrets needed to be done at this time are so few people who know the true purpose of the Mohist school.

Gong Zaoye and Shi were both people who knew the real purpose, and the rest of the people who knew each other sat around. Mozi asked, "You two entered the Chu camp, what is the chance of winning this matter?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "Disciple thinks that the chance of winning this matter is 80%. As long as the matter is confidential, and various means are used to make the Chu people look down upon it, once the Chu people attack every night, the Chu people's chariots cannot move, and the bows and crossbows cannot be gathered to shoot. If we get close to it, we will have gunpowder as a force, and the Chu people will be in chaos."

"If the Chu camp is in chaos, the King of Chu can only resist guarding the camp. If he retreats, the Chu army will be in chaos. So even if he knows that our target is him, he will have nothing to do."

"The three hundred mos all abide by discipline and are well organized, distinguishing between the left and right, forming a line and forming a line, which is unstoppable to the world at this time."

"When attacking through the formation, the soldiers of the Chu people's Fengjun County were not allowed to look around. They knew what to do in the chaos, and they could not organize them in a short period of time."

"So although this matter is dangerous, it is very clear."

Gong Zaoye nodded and expressed his support for the right opinion, while the rest also said that this matter was feasible.

Mo Zi said, "At this point, I have to come forward to join forces with the King of Chu. The sacrifices turn into fire, so that the King of Chu will still be obvious at night. But this is fashionable and not an opportunity. Rumors are everywhere in the city, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the city soon."

Shi smiled and said, "Do you still care about who is Song Gong?"

Mo Zi shook his head and smiled, "Do I care who is the Song Gong? You once said that the difference between helping charcoal in time is the icing on the cake. I was just thinking about when it will be a helping charcoal in time."

…………

In the city, in the Dayin's house, nobles who opposed the Sicheng Emperor's clan gathered together, and each looked worried.

They were nobles of the Song State. At this time, Mozhe helped defend the city and defeated the Chu people's crypts, Yang Di and others in a row. They should have shown joy.

However, precisely because the Mozhe defended the city so well, they sighed from time to time.

Shu Cen sighed and said, "Mo strictly ordered the ban, and the art of defending the city will not attack the people of Chu. If I continue to do this, I am afraid that even the Three Jin soldiers will arrive and the people of Chu will not be able to break the city."

As the uncle of Song Duke, the Song Duke tribe was worried that even his country could not be compromised by the Chu people. This was not absurd at this time. Soon after, the Zhao Duke tribe would lead the Wei people to attack Handan, and the Chu prince would lead the Three Jin troops to attack Chu County.

Nowadays, the relationship between the Sicheng Emperor clan and the Three Jin Dynasty is well known. If all the contributions to defend Shangqiu are attributed to Sicheng Emperor, their reputation will increase greatly and it will be even more difficult to deal with.

Among the six ministers, Sicheng was the only one in the world. He had been operating in Shangqiu for more than a hundred years and was deeply rooted. He had a long experience in coups and had many private soldiers and soldiers with abundant martial ethics.

A few years ago, when Duke Song died, nursery rhymes spread everywhere in Shangqiu, but Shucen Xi and the other six nobles did not dare to move, because they could easily defeat them with one move.

When the young Siko heard this, he sighed and said, "Mo's rewards and punishments are appropriate. He also said that the Chu people would definitely collect food and grass by breaking the city. He also said that if the Chu people had not siege the city, the wheat had been cut at this time, the farmers in the city were angry and the people could use it. Mo's has many means to defend the city, and I am afraid that I will not be able to break the city in a short period of time."

Da Yin Lingqi looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "What can I do if the Chu people break the city? You still don't understand why the people's hearts can be used and when can I borrow them."

The other nobles regarded the Great Yin as their respected and asked for advice.

The Great Yin said: "The Chu people now break the city, which is of no use to us."

"We need to attack the city more, and the people in the city are tired; we need to have no food and grass, and we can change our children and eat and break our bones and cook."

"Only in this way can we proclaim: If a foolish and incompetent king was not rude to Chu and was disrespectful to Jin, how could the people of Chu attack Shangqiu?"

"At that time, the city is dissatisfied, and the Sicheng group will inevitably be unwilling to surrender to the people of Chu. Although the Mo people have the will of the people, they cannot decide whether to surrender or defend."

"You need to know that Mo's guarding the city comes from the order of the king. If the king is unwilling to guard, what reason will Mo's guard Shangqiu?"

"In the past, people from Zheng and Wei were mostly expelled from the king because of the conflict between Jin and Chu, and the Song people might not be able to do it."

"But if you want to do this, you must make the city difficult and you are unwilling to defend it. Only then can you say that because the king is not wise, this kind of disaster will occur. Otherwise, if the Chu people enter the city, what will it do for us?"

"You and I are both the best ministers, and the doctor is no longer worthy of being acquitted, so we can only do great things!"

He analyzed it and everyone could really understand the key.

The Yin asked again: "How long do you think if Mo guards the city, how long can he stay?"

Tai Zhu didn't pretend to be a god and divine, and said directly: "As long as the city has sufficient food, I'm afraid that the people of Chu can retreat until the Chu people retreat."

"The Chu people used the cave and Yang Di attacked each other. The Mo people easily resolved it. Now the Chu people can only surround and not attack. I thought that Shangqiu could not defend it. After all, it was not the time of Duke Wen... I didn't think that the Mo people not only had mechanical skills, but also had political orders, which was unexpected."

The current affairs of Wengong that Taizhu talked about are actually comparing with the present.

During the reign of Duke Wen of Song, King Zhuang of Chu was fighting for hegemony. During that time, he besieged the city for nine months and starved to death, but Shangqiu still did not surrender.

Because when Duke Wen of Song was a young master, he was kind and generous, very popular and prestige.

Wen Gong’s grandfather’s wife and Zhou Emperor’s sister Wang Ji wanted to have an affair with Wen Gong… Of course, Wang Ji was not Wen Gong’s biological grandmother, and there was still a bottom line in the aristocratic circle of Song State.

Even Duke Wen refused for his son, Wang Ji not only did not turn into hatred because of love, but chose more selfless love to help Duke Wen build a reputation in the city.

As a young man, Duke Wen can give his family wealth to those over 70 years old, so that there are no widows in Shangqiu City who starve to death because of his widows; he can go in and out of the mansions of the nobles every day to make friends with them; he can reject the temptation of the beautiful grandfather's wife and gain a very high reputation; and Wang Ji helped Duke Wen boost his reputation after being rejected.

In the end, Wang Ji and Duke Wen cooperated to launch a coup, and killed Duke Wen's brother while he was hunting. The Chinese people also supported Duke Wen to succeed the throne. After cleaning up the nobles of Zhao Gong's remnants, they also divided the power to support the nobles. With the support of everyone in Shangqiu City, they sat firmly as the Duke.

As for whether Wang Ji, who was grandmother, had an affair with Duke Wen, who was grandson, had an affair, it was an unknown story. This kind of lost aristocratic culture is available both at home and abroad, and it is not surprising.

Regardless of private morality, Duke Wen's reputation and alms before his rule ensured that the Chu people siege the city for several months, and the city broke bones and cooked and fed for food. He still insisted on not surrendering, no coup or riots among the Chinese people.

The comparison made by Taizhu is that both Duke Dao and Duke Tian of Song are not as famous as Duke Wen in the past. In addition, the nobles have fought for power and profit in recent years, and the people of Shangqiu have lost their original mentality of participating in politics.

When a king dies, he just tells each other, and then a nursery rhyme mocks Song Gong, who insists on believing in some tricks of prayer.

After Song Gongtian ascended the throne, he changed his reign and was ambitious and busy with the alliance. By the way, the two-season planting method promoted by the Mohist school was not yet perfected, so he was already preparing to increase taxes.

In this case, if the Mo family had not come forward to defend the city, it would have been impossible for them to hold on for too long. Once the Chinese people were organized by the nobles, they would easily have a riot and coup, which would expel the king who brought disaster to them.

As for what to do if the people of the Chu people take revenge in the future, many Chinese people may not think too far away and will only focus on what is happening within a year or two.

Da Yin’s analysis was very correct and his grasp of the ideas of the people in the city was also correct: Shangqiu at this time was not Shangqiu during the Anshi Rebellion in the prosperous Tang Dynasty; the people in Shangqiu City had not received much favor from the public.

Once the Chu people siege their interests, as long as someone can guarantee that they can replace a monarch, they can let the Chu people not attack the city and retreat, and the Chinese people will definitely follow them.

However... the appearance of the Mozhe changed this situation.

The Mozhe did not say that fighting for the public tribe and state, but used another set of rhetoric, using strict orders and rewards to gather the hearts of the people in the city.

In this case, if there is no situation where the child is changed and the bones are broken, it is difficult to mobilize the Chinese to launch a coup to expel the king.

The Six Lords have private soldiers, but the Sicheng Emperor also has private soldiers. It is difficult for both sides to decide the victory or defeat. However, if the city is guarded, the Six Lords will lose... The neutral Mo will help the Sicheng Emperor because of this hindering the city. This is what the Dayin thinks.

On the contrary, if dissatisfaction broke out in the city first, the people rioted and changed the monarch, and then took back the power of the Mozhe to defend the city with the order of the monarch. This would be another matter.

The so-called people's hearts seem useless, but if they can be controlled, they can still be borrowed.

After hearing the variables and comparisons that Tai Zhu said, Da Yin Lingqi shook his head and said, "Shangqiu can still be guarded. Because the city has not yet been famine, there are still people who listen to Mo's words. Mo's also talks about benevolence and righteousness, and they also talk about the hearts of the people. Once everyone in the city doesn't want to guard, they cannot kill them all."

"So, if you want Shangqiu to be unable to defend, if you want the people to oppose the emperor, if you want the ignorant people to be trapped in the suffering in front of you, and if you don't consider the revenge of the Three Jins in the future, just do a little!"

He stood up, looked around, and said fiercely: "Burn the food in the palace! As long as this is done well, the city will be in chaos! If the city is in chaos, the people will hope to join the Chu."

"Can Sicheng have an alliance with the Chu people? He won't. He will want to support the Three Jins, so the people will inevitably oppose him. This can be used to destroy the clan."

"Who caused this time the Jing people besieged the city? It was because the emperor was rude to Chu and was dismissed to Jin. Once the food was burned and the city was famine, wasn't these responsibilities caused by the king's stupidity?"
