Chapter 230 Hundred-foot sighs inside and outside (End)

Song Gong himself had no force to oppose him. The Song State had not yet reformed the law and had not strengthened the centralized monarchy.

On the contrary, Duke Song still had some expectations for the people's participation in politics. Now he needs the strength of the people to check and balance the nobles, and at least ensure that his position as a monarch can be stable.

And the nobles did not disagree with this condition.

This condition only concerns Shangqiu City and does not affect their fiefdom. Their location of the Gentleman Court does not coincide with the positions of the Six Ministers, and it can itself curb the power of the monarch, which is not unacceptable.

Anyway, the matter of taking back the fiefdom, according to the conditions involved, they need to agree to it themselves... In their opinion, this is ridiculous. Will anyone agree to let the monarch take back his fiefdom?

I was so confused that I knew in my heart that the mainstream of the Warring States Period was centralization, and whoever could centralize power would be powerful.

This time it was equivalent to sending Song State to a dead end, but he didn't care, and Mozhe didn't care.

Mo is a person in the world, not a Song country. What Mo people need is not a Song country in the era of Duke Xiang, but only more development opportunities under the conflicts and peace of aristocratic countries.

After all, there are other cities and towns besides Shangqiu that have not been enfeoffed, which are places where the Mohists can fight for.

After all, within the next ten years, the dispute between Jin and Chu and the chaos in the Central Plains could allow the State of Song to continue to survive in this decentralized attitude, and the ultimate goal was to cultivate batches of national talents who grew up in this environment.

These were originally conditions to suppress the power of the monarch and decentralize power in the troubled times of the Warring States Period, but Song Gong, who had no ability or power to centralize power, did not lose much.

As for the external attack, Song Gong thought he could do it when he was ascending the throne, but he was surrounded by the Chu people after he ascended the throne for three years. He is now somewhat awake.

There is actually not much content, and more things need to be gradually improved in the future. The ability of legal power to obtain the right to propose is enough for the current situation.

It was still a long time, and I knew that the focus of the battle for hegemony between Jin and Chu would be on the inheritance rights war in Chu and the chaos in Zheng. For a long time, Song had enough time to tear off interests within the country, slowly let the people participate in these things, slowly develop the people's power, and spread some awakening concepts.

He has not mentioned the matter of the Yi Shishi in Pei County for the time being. It is not the time to mention it at this time, but it requires a better opportunity in the future.

I believe that the people of Shangqiu will know that these hundreds of visitors from Pei County helped them to gain balance in force, and they will naturally give Pei County support at the first political inquiry meeting.

As for the nobles, they themselves have no power in Peidi, and they will not be willing to offend a group of powerful people.

Not talking about it for the time being does not mean that I won’t talk about it in the future, I’m just waiting for the opportunity.

After he finished reading all this, he asked everyone, "This is the will of the people. I don't know what I said. Can the people of Shangqiu prove that I did not speak nonsense?"

It seems to be asking the people, but it is actually showing force.

The people present and the people in Pei County shouted in unison, saying that what they said was true, was exactly what they asked for.

The snare drums that followed were used to make the whole team sounded together and thudded several times.

The nobles present understood that the Moh was letting the people show their strength, and even more understood that the power contained in this shout was far from comparable to that originally.

It turned out that these people were a mess and could only be instigated by the nobles.

But now, there are Mo people, Pei County Yishi, the combined hundreds of elite warriors, and the propaganda and guidance of the Xuanyi tribe, at least when the city is besieged, the power of these people is enough to fight against these nobles trapped in the city.

Everyone thought, how could these people come up with these solutions? If they had not deceived the Mohist family, they would not believe it.

However, these conditions did not seem unacceptable at this time, and they did not realize the terribleness of this possibility that would ruin their future changes.

Under the feudal system, it is easy to decentralize power, but it is nothing more than whether there are civilians involved in the decentralization, or at least civilians without the status of scholars and doctors.

Decentralization of power is to commit suicide, but most of the nobles present were welcomed by this kind of behavior of committing suicide in the Song Dynasty.

The Song State is not their Song State, nor the Song State of Shangqiu people, at least not yet.

After the deterrence, Shi said again: "There is an important thing at this time. Now, even if the grain in the city is saved and used, it will last for up to four months. Even if it transports grain from other places, it will take some time, and we still need to prepare seeds for next year."

"So, the people do not want to keep to the point of changing their children. Although the Inquiry Yuan has not yet been established, it must be asked for the people's opinions."

"After discussing this matter, the people thought so."

Shi looked at the nobles present and shouted: "For three months, if the Jin people come to fight with Chu within three months, or the Chu people retreat, or the rest may defeat the Chu people, then the battle will be fought."

"If there is no turning point in three months, you can form an alliance with the Chu people. For specific conditions, please consult the Zhengyuan, so please determine the candidate as soon as possible."

"This is the request of the people, please agree. The Mohist is only responsible for being invited to defend the city. As for whether to defend or fight, the Mohist does not participate."

I looked at Mr. Song first and waited for Mr. Song to make a decision.

Actually, there is no need to see it.

Zitian knew very well that the reason why the people in the rebellion would participate was because of the panic left by the tragic tragedy of the Chu people siegeing the city and breaking bones in the city and eating.

Now the granary in the city is burned, and there is not enough grain in the city. The people of Chu learned from the time of King Zhuang that year that he had harvested some crops outside the city, which means that he would stay in the siege here for a long time.

In this case, Mr. Song knew that the previous conditions were long-term.

The siege of the city is imminent. If it cannot be resolved, the people will immediately turn against each other.

Since Duke Song did not agree at this time, it would be just a matter of Duke Song. Anyway, there are other people in the public, and the riots of the Chinese people have not happened once, which is normal.

So Mr. Song nodded and said, "That's best. From today's calculation, it will take three months. During this period, Mr. Modi will ask him to continue defending the city and rectify the peasant soldiers. If the siege of the city cannot be resolved for three months, he will form an alliance with the Chu people!"

He avoided the Sicheng Emperor who was near Song Gong and looked at the other nobles.

Da Yin and others were indeed happy with this. If the Jin people came, the Sicheng Emperor's army might have some support.

After all, the Jin people always have to make some demands when sending troops. Once the Jin people stationed troops in the Song Dynasty, the Sicheng Emperor's army would have foreign aid at any time.

Even if the people of Shangqiu were dissatisfied, they had just experienced the siege of the Chu people, and it was impossible for them to continue to support the siege of the Jin people at this time.

As for whether the Jin people could send troops within three months... in the eyes of Da Yin and others, that was very difficult.

It takes a long time to send troops.

Moreover, autumn is the season of harvest. It is possible for the Jin people to complete the recruitment now and have sent troops on the way to strive to return before the autumn harvest.

If the conscript had not been completed at this time, it would be impossible to send troops before autumn. After all, the Jin people had just fought a big battle before.

There had been wars in the three directions of Qi, Zhongshan and Qin within three years. It took great determination to send troops to the Jin people at this time.

In addition, it seemed that the Jin people could not think about Song Gong and immediately sent troops, afraid that it would be possible until the Chu people were exhausted.

So Dayin and others also said: "Thinking about the people of Shangqiu is precisely because we used the armored soldiers before. This is of course acceptable."

Shi took a last look at the Sicheng Emperor's line. Sicheng Emperor had no choice but to do anything. In this situation, he could only place all his hopes on the Jin people being able to reach this wish within three months.

Although the alliance has not been completed, Song Gong has agreed to form an alliance in March, and the Dayin clan also agreed that the people themselves were incited to organize for this reason, so there is no way to oppose it at this time.

Since he could not object, he had to say, "Since you and everyone agree, how can I refuse?"

"The Chu people have always had ambitions to destroy the monks, Chen Cai. It was not because I had a good relationship with the Three Jins and the others to send troops."

"I made good friends with the Three Jins, just to make the people of Shangqiu and the people of Song, just to make the people of Chu attack, the Three Jins can rescue them."

"Besides, the matter of the Rendi Alliance was decided by the ancestors, and there were also sayings of Si Xingzi Xu and other slander ministers who deceived the stars and changed their destiny. Is this actually my sin?"

"If it comes to this siege, it was Si Xingzi Xu who bewitched his ancestors back then. However, he was wrong in stargazing and hanged himself, which could no longer be punished."

After removing the people's resentment towards themselves, Sicheng Emperor also acquiesced to the alliance within three months.

As the saying goes, planning is in the hands of others and accomplishing things is in heaven. Perhaps within three months, the army of Jin people will appear under Shangqiu City, which is unknown.

The bottom line of alliance within three months was proposed by the people, so there was no need to ask the people again.

Seeing this, he said with a look: "Then please swear!"

He is not good at oathing. The Mozhe has a full-time priest who is responsible for sacrificing ghosts and gods, and all kinds of livestock that offer sacrifices to the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor are also prepared.

In order to maintain order, the people of Pei County lined up to separate the two sides by a hundred feet apart, and a clearing space was vacancies to wait for the three sides to form an alliance, and the Moh would take the testimony.

…………

Outside the city, the Chu people's attack had failed again.

After finally attacking near the city wall, Chu people discovered that Mozhe had not used all the means before. It seemed that the number of people on the city wall was small, but the power of defense did not weaken at all.

Lime, hot oil, boiling water and manure were poured down continuously, and the soldiers who were climbing with ants could not take a step forward at all.

Siege equipment such as cloud ladders were also destroyed by a blaster sent by the elite Mozhe.

The chariots kept throwing some lime cans or fire in the city, hindering the Chu people from crossing the seemingly filled moat moat to support and advance.

The elites who climbed to the city wall were crushed by the Mozhe's grinding cart. The rapidly rotating wheels pulled the grinding cart up and down the city wall.

The ink man holding the super spear inside used the holes exposed in the grinding cart to constantly prick the Chu people who could not defend on the city wall.

In addition, the heavy grinding cart can knock people down the city walls. In the places where the attacks are most intense, many scarred elite soldiers were quickly accumulated.

Within a hundred feet from the city wall, some were shot to death by arrows, some were scalded by boiling oil and boiling water, some were killed by attacking through the small door of the dog hole, or some were sprinkled into their eyes and howled on the ground...

Someone has retreated a hundred feet away regardless of the order.

The King of Chu looked high and long. He originally thought that his side was only a hundred feet away from the city that broke, but today there was a change in the city and could be broken in one fell swoop.

But now it seems that I am afraid that this distance of a hundred feet will become a distance that the Chu army cannot cross.

The King of Chu doesn't know what happened in the city now, but he knows that he is afraid that there will be more misfortunes and it will be meaningless to continue to attack like this.
