Chapter 318 The princes look at the market and talk about the market (4)
Zheng State caused his own disaster, and this incident involved internal disputes among the nobles, so the Mo family did not want to participate.
Or, in other words, they are not able to participate.
Zheng Feisong, the Mo family lacked influence there, and... the surrounding environment of Zheng State is much worse than that of Song State. It is a must-fight between Jin and Chu.
With the three points of Jin State, South Korea was locked by Wei and Chu, and the only expansion direction was Zheng State. If we can uphold the heart of a small country and rely on the internal conflicts of the Three Jins, the conflicts between Jin and Chu can actually survive. It’s a pity that we don’t want to be a small country and do not have the size of a big country, tragedy will inevitably be inevitable.
Among the sluts, there are at least Teng and Xue around the Song State. There are also small countries such as "Jie and Song" in later generations of Song State, but Zheng State is really dead.
Since they cannot be saved, they can only sell some weapons and use the influence of this battle in Niu Lanyi to spread it, and accumulate strength for the future of the Mohist family.
After thinking carefully, Mo Zi said, "In the end, all the Mo family can do is to let Chu defeat Zheng State and kill the city as much as possible. This is the only thing our Mo family can do."
After saying that, he took the letter written in the clear, looked at the beginning, and couldn't help but smile.
The beginning was that the letter was to be spread as soon as possible with the help of the Mohist family's relationship and influence in the city of Juyi.
The title of the letter is "Stand the Constitutional Rules - On Geometry Nine Numbers, Gunpowder and Guarding the City".
After just a few glances, Mo Zi felt that these things looked very familiar, especially the hand-painted polygonal structure and prominent concave and concave wall designs. Isn’t this an extension of what he calls “walls”?
Mo Zi thought to himself that although he knew that walking on the wall and guarding the city was beneficial and why, it was difficult to express it in such simple and easy-to-understand words that everyone could understand.
The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. Finally, I found out that I played tricks again.
The entire contribution of the Niu Lanyi Jinzheng coalition's withdrawal from the army this time was attributed to the Mo family, and they strongly advocated the idea of building the capital and some important cities into fortresses to maintain peace.
That is, the replica of the previous plan of the Mibing Association, hoping to build the fear of the attacking party with an indelible shield, so as to pretend that the Mohist school always wanted was just a simple world-wide fight, not as simple as attacking.
After reading it, Mo Zi put these pages aside and recalled the conversation when the slandered characters appeared a few years ago.
The dialogue about whether literacy is not illiteracy, whether the world is synonymous, and whether the Mohist writing can become common words in the world.
Mozi remembered that at that time, he said that he would force all the scholars and even nobles to learn the Mo family's writings, and force everyone who wanted to become a talented person to learn the Mo family's writings because he had ambition.
At that time, Mozi felt that scholars might not all like the learning of Jiafeng’s craftsmanship, and their wishes were beautiful, but how could they do it?
And now, seeing these pages of paper, Mozi seemed to understand.
From then on, the science of geometry must shine brightly, because it is necessary to use defending the city, defense, and even to measure land reform laws and regulations in the future.
In the world, this is the stage of war. A book of guarding the city can force more scholars to learn the Mohist writings in order to understand more follow-up content.
This is to place the Mohist texts there, not asking those people to learn, but let those people ask those people to teach.
Mozi thought, this was just the beginning.
After that, more things will become content that people have to learn. Who can provide those knowledge except the Mohist school today? Those knowledge needs to be written in such words, so how can those who want to learn not to learn?
Those who actively want to learn are already literate, but they are not the words of the Mohist school, but the words of various countries.
Those who were illiterate before just started from scratch, and the words were words, and it seemed that they were always so cheap and simple.
When the world's knowledge carrier is such a text, the old text will naturally gradually become unified and change until it is integrated.
After all, the original origin of the words written by him was just Qin Li, and he was born here and was ripened by him.
Mozi thought, Shi actually wanted to tell the world, or let the world think about this problem: If things like defending the city can be explained by the things like Tianzhi Geometry and Nine Numbers. Then the Mo family often said that I have Tianzhi as a craftsman, and I have rules to govern the world, why is it wrong?
People may use rationality and inference to introduce a better system and rules to use the method of knowledge. As for whether it is suitable for the so-called Nine-Levels of the Paradise, it does not matter. What is important is that people will think that the rules of the world that are taken for granted are no longer so natural.
Mozi thought to himself that just like the knowledge of geometric nine numbers, the rigorous interpretation of the art of saying knowledge and debate can actually infer the world.
So he said, "I think the appropriate method is useful. This makes people copy this letter and use our strongholds in various cities to pass it on, so that everyone in the world knows it."
After thinking about it, I put those pieces of paper on the desk and said, "No need to add or delete."
After seeing it, the others agreed happily, and Gao Sunzi smiled bitterly: "In this way, those who study in Pei County will probably be even more messy. Some want to benefit the world, some want to learn geometry and seek the position of minor officials, and some want to study the art of gunpowder to defend the city to find an official."
Mo Zi laughed and said, "If someone learns, he will teach you. After all, this is the will of heaven. There are always benefits when many people learn. If there are so many fortresses, it is difficult for warlike kings to attack. Maybe it may be possible to stop the war for a short time."
"The method of siege is secretly spread, and this kind of city building method that deliberately leaves defects and loopholes is spread at will. Leave the future to those young people."
Gao Sunzi sighed and nodded helplessly. Since everyone agreed, they immediately asked someone to prepare for copying and take advantage of the advantages of the Mohist fast horse and stirrup rider to spread all over the world as soon as possible.
…………
Just after the New Year, a burst of firecrackers finally came from the market in Anyi, Wei capital. Many people gathered near the Mohist stronghold in Anyi, listening to the battle of Niu Lanyi in autumn.
Many Wei people who participated in that battle returned to their hometowns and brought back the fear of white smoke and thunder to Anyi.
A brand new knowledge called geometry was quickly spread throughout some cities with the help of this time. Many people who wanted to become officials learned the humble characters of the Mohist school every day, striving to understand those articles.
The ideal of benefiting the world does not attract every wanderer. However, the dream of becoming an official seems to be a shortcut to learn geometry and city building.
The simple figure introduces the advantages of concave city walls, uses simple geometry to express the meaning of the walls, and uses simple nine numbers to explain the difference between the number of people unfolding the polygonal city walls.
More importantly, the Mohist school seems to have created another legend.
The Mo family would not admit that they were bare-handed in Niu Lanyi, but only said that they sold weapons to defend the city to help improve the city defense. Then, after the small Niu Lanyi resisted the attack of the 70,000 Jin and Zheng coalition forces for more than ten days, they forced the Jin and Zheng coalition forces to retreat!
Moreover, it is just a city of peasants and soldiers, and there are no elites, which is already another legend.
Because of the creation of legends, when the legend appears on the Mo family again, there is no doubt in the market. Moreover, the soldiers who experienced the war will not know the political purpose behind the retreat, but only know that the result is that thousands of casualties and injuries cannot even touch the city.
In addition to the Mohist newspaper and this booklet, there were several copper guns, which were exhibited in the city. There were also Mohist demonstrations of loading and shooting, which attracted cheers from time to time, or some good shooting people questioned how this thing could compare to bows and arrows?
Some stories become more and more magical as they spread. Those who do not believe in magic begin to savor the contents in the booklets and consider that these things are combined together, why does it become so difficult to attack?
In the palace of Wei Hou, the young master angrily slapped a copy of newspapers and pamphlets and cursed: "All nonsense! How could I be forced away by them guarding the city? If the Zheng people surrounded Yangdi, the Han people died, and the Han people retreated, would I really not be able to capture this little Niu Lanyi?"
How could he not be angry? How many battles did he go through when he attacked Fancheng? Where did he fail?
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 elite soldiers!
Although Tian Zifang, Li Ku and others kept comforting, in Gongzizhe's view, this was humiliation.
At that time, Li Kui said he wanted to transfer Wu Qi to attack Chu, and believed that the young master's ability to attack was insufficient. Now these words were like a thorn, piercing his face.
The young master thought to himself, what can Wu Qi do? Can he conquer Luyang when the rebellion of the Zheng people of Han Hou died?
But he couldn't say this, nor did he have the chance to repeat it all. He could only bear all the humiliation.
The aging Weiss saw his son angry and shouted, "In my opinion, what the Mo family said is also good."
"If there is no Niu Lanyi, can't you defeat Duke Yang? If Niu Lanyi did not have the Mo family to help defend, it would have gone down in an instant. I am afraid that the Zheng people have not sent troops to Yangdi, Duke Yang has been defeated."
"You can't attack Niu Lan and retreat. The Mo family did not lie. They just told part of the truth, but you can't say they are nonsense."
Prince Ji suppressed his anger and said, "In Niu Lan County, there must be a Mo family member who comes to defend the city. Shouldn't this be accused of the Song Dynasty or attacking the Si Shui where the Mo family is entrenched?"
Weis smiled, his hoarse voice a little bitter, and asked for a long time: "Niu Lanyi is still difficult to attack. I asked my Wei army to attack the Sishui River that can be captured through the formation? Now Xiong is uneasy day and night, crying for talents. Are you trying to force the Mo family to Chu State?"
"Song has become neutral. At this time, he is asking Song to form an alliance?"
"Zhao Hou Xin died, Han Hou Xin died, Zheng people were betrayed the alliance, and the Chu people were able to breathe. At this time, hundreds of Mo family talented people would enter Chu?"
"Don't say that you are guilty, you can't even mention this matter, you can only pretend not to know. If you put it forward, the Mohist school only used the art of argument to say that we were in an unjust war, and all the employees entered Chu, and even did not sell us gunpowder, and help the Chu people change the laws. What should we do then?"
"When Niu Lanyi fought, all the princes in the world asked for the Mo family and did not dare to get along with him. But you were angry because of these words. You wanted to be the king of a country, not a famous general in the world!"
The more he spoke, the more angry he became, the young master dared not speak, so he could only stand with his head down. Weis coughed a few times and said, "I just calmed the dispute between Zheng and Han. The Zheng people retreated, but only fought with the hatred of You Gong. The Zhao people have always had a dislike, and now Zhao Ji's younger brother inherited as Zhao Hou, and there are also talented people such as Gong Zhonglian, so they are no longer willing to fight with Chu."
"Han Hou Xin died, and there were changes in the country. He could not go out for battle within three years. This year, he would have to join Zhao Han Xinjun, and he could not attack Chu. The Zheng people entered the prince and then got Wuyang and Niu Lanyi. Those waiting and watching fin monarchs could only support the King of Chu... The situation was no better than before!"
"If the Mo family is forced to the State of Chu, hundreds of Mo people, Jiahe, hundreds of engineers, are proficient in building cities, and Daliang, Fenxing Pass, Kunyang, and Gaoling are all built into the style of Niu Lanyi; if the laws and regulations of Chu are passed, Jiahe is transformed into the spread of iron tools... I was dead at that time, what should you do?"
Weiss' anger gradually faded, and he exclaimed: "How did Tian Zifang teach you about the pride of wealth, wealth, poverty, and humbleness? Do you still remember it?"
The young master whispered and said, "It is also awesome for poor people. How can the rich and noble people dare to be arrogant? If a king is arrogant, he will lose his country; if a doctor is arrogant, he will lose his family. If a country loses his country, he will lose his family. If a country loses his country, he will not be able to treat his family. If a man loses his family, he will not be able to treat his family. If a man is poor and humble, he will take his shoes and leave. How can he go without being poor and humble!"
Weis shouted, "You still remember! A poor man who is poor and humble, does not use his words or does not match his actions, will take his shoes and leave him! You anger the Mo family and will not use the mechanical skills and knowledge of the Mo family for the rest of your life. A group of people with short brown straw sandals have only knowledge in their hearts. When the time comes, take the shoes and leave, where can the world be so big?
"If you enter Chu, Chu will be strong, and if you enter Qin, Qin will be strong! After the battle in Niu Lanyi, don't say that you did not catch the Mo family's people in Niu Lanyi commanding the city, even if you catch it, what can you do? Go and ask for a crime? They think we are an unjust battle. With their morality, what crimes are there?"
The young master raised his head and said, "The morality of the Mo family is the vulgarity of the world! They said this is an unjust war. Is it a unjust war? When is it their turn to decide whether it is righteous or unjust? Does his father really believe what Mo Di said that he has the will of heaven as a craftsman?"
Weis shook his head and said, "You can beat them, catch them, interrogate them, and kill them all. Naturally, they can say that their rules are not in line with the world and are very wrong. If you can't catch them completely, you won't kill them all. In addition to me, Wei, there are Qi, Qin, Chu, and Zhao. If you don't admit their rules, there will naturally be someone rushing to admit them!"
