Chapter 317 The princes look at the market and talk about the market (3)
When the north wind first rose, a Mohist rider finally got rid of countless surprised gazes along the way and sent a secret letter from Niu Lanyi to Pei County.
He rode his horse.
A horse with saddle and stirrups.
So I looked at each other along the way.
The secret letter in his hand was sealed with wax paint. After the person who received the letter confirmed that it was correct, he delivered the secret letter to a Mo Master who belonged to the secretary.
The contents of the letter are all numerical symbols used by the Mohist school. People who need to use the contents of the "Common Book of Guzi" that has been written for several years, corresponding to those numerical symbols.
Because... this kind of letter marked as confidential will cause an uproar when it is subjected to any potential enemy, and even trigger a catastrophe of the Mohist family, which is still fragile, and even a siege of the kings of the world.
Mo Zi, who was getting worse day by day, took the translated letter. After a brief look, he handed the letter to Qin Huali and said to the others: "I did a good job with Niu Lanyi."
Gao Sunzi smiled and said, "As expected, we can trust his abilities. What did the letter say?"
Mo Zi took a deep breath and recalled the content of the letter.
There are two letters, one needs to be translated secretly, and the other does not need to be written. It only introduces the process of defending the city and the Warring States Period.
If the contents of the secretly translated letter were seen by outsiders, it would definitely cause trouble.
The letter said that Han Qian was dead, and this time he joined the prince, he would not have any results for the time being. He heard that it seemed that Zhao Ji was also dead.
Therefore, the situation in Zheng State is very ugly. Han and Zhao were unable to send troops within three years. The consequences of the entire Jin-Zheng coalition army entering the prince will be temporarily borne by Zheng State.
In the chaos, one after another, so the King of Chu's back may become hard and he cannot have any illusions about the King of Chu.
The deadline for the Suppression Association is less than one year. If the Han and Zhao die at the same time, internal chaos will be inevitable. Zheng State is the first to be the brunt of the Chu people and is definitely not the opponent of the Chu people, so the Chu State is likely to launch a counterattack.
Shi said in the letter that princes and nobles are unreliable, and they can only change by forcing them to the Jedi.
So the King of Chu was in a Jedi half a year ago, but now in the battle of Niu Lanyi, the Jin-Zheng coalition forces did not successfully break through Lu Pass. The King of Chu would integrate his forces and counterattack Zheng, forcing Zheng to unilaterally fight with Wei. It seems that the advantage seems to be great and can survive this inheritance crisis.
Under this advantage, some ideas about the Mohist school of change may not be followed or even the alliance to stop wars in a year. The Mohist school should completely abandon fantasies.
The infiltration of Yan and Ying is no longer possible in a short period of time. The promise of the King of Chu in the secret agreement can now be considered as fart.
Unless the Three Jin coalition forces completely beat Chu State in three years, the King of Chu could only contact the Mo family again. Therefore, after entering Chu this time, the Mo family should take the initiative to act in a cold manner and wait until the King of Chu is beaten and then mention the matter of Chu.
However, people can be sent to Yanying in advance to find out the local situation and make sure that the Chu people were beaten and hurt several years later, the King of Chu took the initiative to invite the Mo family to Chu.
In addition, the excavation of iron ore pig iron agricultural tools in Wan and Nanyang areas is part of the Ming Dynasty, so you can prepare it quickly.
In Niu Lanyi, some of the Mexicans should be selected, with five people as the best. One person from Xuanyi, one person who understands political affairs and military affairs, one person who understands Jiarong techniques, one person who has learned enough writing, and one handicraft who is well-versed in carpenters and other techniques.
On the surface, he randomly selected one person as the magistrate of the county, and carried out changes without touching the core interests of the Duke of Luyang to manage Niu Lanyi.
In addition, the war and some propaganda content of Niu Lanyi have been drafted. After the Giant and the other seven Viagras are approved, they will be published and spread to Jucheng Dayi immediately.
At the same time, after the successful publicity of Niu Lanyi's defense city was made, some of the defensive gunpowder weapons could be sold for Zheng State, using this money as reserve for Nanyang iron smelting and part of the funds for Niu Lanyi's activities.
It is recommended that the Mohist school prepare to formulate some rules in the world immediately, such as the cannons that can fire more than three kilograms of iron balls as offensive weapons, and the mezzanines used within the Mohist school are also considered offensive weapons and will not be sold. The rest of the various hand cannons and fire guns can be sold.
But it is claimed that if all countries have built fortresses like Niu Lanyi, then the siege side is very broken, which may lead to the strange peace that the attacking side dare not attack.
If possible, you can send an envoy to Chudu to stop the war and resent the grievances with the King of Chu. When the Zheng people were forced to quit the army and the two monarchs of the Han and Zhao families died, the King of Chu would definitely not agree, and might even feel that he had a great advantage and would definitely refuse.
In this way, when the war and the alliance will be torn down, the Mo family will win the support of the market, and the ugly faces of princes and nobles will be revealed within two years, which will completely lose the fantasy of achieving peace through the benevolence and righteousness of princes and nobles.
This is based on the speculation that the King of Chu wanted to change. It is not that the King of Chu believed that the nobles were unreliable, but that the King of Chu also believed that the Mo family had ideas and could not be a loyal dog.
The King of Chu could feel that the Mo family seemed to be a delicious ball of meat, but in fact it was poisonous. Although this poison was less toxic than the relatives of the nobles and the princes, if he could win all the battles and use his power to slowly change, it seemed that the influence of the Mo family could be minimized.
However, when he agreed to help the Chu people build Daliang City two years ago, he was ready to cheat the King of Chu and forced him to swallow the poisonous wine with poison.
This is to make the Mo people give up their fantasies about princes and nobles, and to make the King of Chu give up their fantasies of being favored by God. After awakening, the Three Jins slapped him hard to understand why they were said that the gold and jade were in the outside but the inside was shaved.
The senior officials present sent a letter, and after reading it, they all admired it.
I thought that if we grasp the general trend of the world, no one in the Mo family could have made a decision. I originally thought that I could be prepared for this entry into Chu, but I thought that this time was not the best time, and I decisively judged the situation in the Three Jin after Han Hou and Zhao Hou died at the same time.
After seeing it, Wu Ma Bo said, "I agree with Shi's opinion. Princes and nobles are really unreliable. In the battle of Shangqiu, the resolution of war will die prematurely, but because the prince decided to flee to Zheng and the balance was broken. This time, the negotiations in Chu were just a crisis of the King of Chu. But if Han and Zhaodu were resigning, Zheng would be unable to support him. Wei only relies on itself, and I am afraid that the King of Chu could also breathe, and might not be able to use the morality of our Mo family."
"Sir, defend the city and help the small country more. Because the king of the small country has no choice but to use our Mo. As for a big country like Chu... I think it's right. Wait a little longer and send someone to lobby the King of Chu to see if he still abides by the war-rest covenant in a year."
Several people thought to themselves that after experiencing the war in Shangqiu, it was really hard to believe the words of the princes and nobles.
Gao Sunzi nodded, signaling himself to agree with Wu Ma Bo's opinion, and said with a smile: "From the truth, it's always like this. He didn't believe in princes and nobles five years ago, but he still doesn't believe in it now. I think what he said is right. Some people may be Zhou Wen Shang Tang, but Shang Tang's descendants still have King Zhou, and there are also foolish and unsupportive people. We cannot place hopes of benefiting the world on these princes and nobles."
Mo Zi said aloof and said, "What he said is right. It's just that the battle between Niu Lanyi proves that the Great Wall of Chu is not something that can be cut off for a while. If Jin and Chu fight again, they will only be between Zheng and Daliang. This place is suffering!"
"Now the prince is settled in Zheng, and the three and two marquises of Jin have passed away. It is difficult for the Wei people to send troops this year. They also need to reconcile the relationship between the Three Jins, celebrate with the new king, and join forces with the three Jins. How can Zheng State stop the Chu people's counterattack?"
"Although Zheng took advantage of the prince's decision to run away and the new King of Chu was unstable, if he did not attack, the Chu people might not have stopped attacking in the future. In the end, we still did not convince the warlike king of the world."
After frowned for a moment, Mo Zi said again: "Duke You of Zheng died at the hands of Han Wuzi. Now the Zheng people are raiding Yangdi and Han Qian is dead in the city. Even if it is not the Zheng people, the Han people will have to attack Zheng in the end."
"In my opinion, Si Ziyang is difficult to do, and he could not have thought that Han Qian would die. Now, he was the best. He had originally resisted the Han people with Chu, but now he jumped and rebelled to take the lead in conquering Yu Pass and killing the doctors of Jing and Shu clans. The Chu people were also angry, and the Han people also had the hatred of killing the king. Even if the Wei Kingdom wanted to maintain it, it would be difficult."
After taking a look at Xiaosheng, who was temporarily acting as secretary after leaving, Mo Zi asked: "What is the public opinion between the markets in Zheng State recently?"
Xiaosheng took out a small book and looked at it, "In the market, there are many dissatisfactions with Si Ziyang's attack on Chu. In addition, Si Ziyang's rule is too strict, and some people dissuaded students to have a relaxed birth, but he did not listen, thinking that the criminal law has been decided and cannot be changed. Dazai Xin and others are also spreading remarks that are not good for Zi Yang."
"Last year, the Zheng people were dissatisfied with the attack on Wuyang. After all, the Chu country was a great country, and the Zheng people were afraid of the Chu people's revenge. After Han Qian's death, the news quickly spread to Zheng land, and our people also heard a lot of news. Zheng people... panic is more happy with revenge."
"Ziyang...it seems that after Han Qian's death, he immediately sent someone to South Korea to pay his respects. He was also afraid of not daring to incite the revenge of You Gong to the Chinese people."
Jia Dun of the Shishi clapped his hands and said, "It's too late! Zheng Xiaoguo! If you have the heart of a big country, how can you not be in danger? Zheng Guo will be in chaos. It's just that the Chu people cannot use the equipment to defend the city for the time being. Those craftsmen who made muskets and cannons can also continue to make it and use the battle of Niu Lanyi to sell it to Zheng Guo."
"The money obtained can be used to start Nanyang iron ore, and... and... you can also change more horses from Zheng State. It can be used immediately for farming land, or for training stirrup riders to strengthen Pei Peng's military strength in preparation for the future."
"We cannot grasp the great righteousness of the world now, but we can decide what defensive weapons are and what offensive weapons are rules."
"If it's right, it's true. If every city is built into Niu Lanyi, equipped with cannons and muskets, it's difficult for one side to break the city. It seems that it's really possible to stop the war for a short time..."
Since he said it was, it really seemed. Because Shi clearly told everyone in the secret letter: Niu Lanyi's city walls seem stable, but in fact there are many problems. As long as the attacking side has a cannon, or the underground cage is digging and blasting with gunpowder, it can be broken in an instant.
