King Yi of Yue was really helpless. He originally wanted to break through Tengcheng in one fell swoop and re-establish hegemony to make these small countries more secure.

But I didn’t expect that before Tengcheng arrived, I have been walking around the Wucheng, Lanling and Shuan, and are passive everywhere.

He dared not divide his troops, and he could not catch up without splitting his troops. He could not break the city without intimidation, but really could do it, and the righteous army along the way was completely unsuccessful.

After this round, many cities have a deep-rooted impression.

A righteous teacher is the teacher of a gentleman, without any harm, and he runs for the benefit of the world.

King Yue was a cruel and warlike king. He passed along the way and collected food and supplies for the people, but he was not a wise ruler.

When the 40,000 troops rushed back to Huacheng, the Yishi defeated a small town dozens of miles away and slipped away, leaving only some traces of preparing to attack the city near Huacheng. The Yue people in Huacheng did not dare to fight, but fortunately they defended the King of Yue to arrive.

In the small town that was captured next to him, the Yishi expelled the local Yue nobles, who were more determined than sharing food in Wucheng. He directly divided the Gongtian and Lutian, which belonged to the Yue nobles, and released all the slaves.

The righteous master of the small city stayed for only ten days, but in these ten days, relying on the Mo family's strong propaganda and organizational capabilities, the land of this small city has been roughly divided, and it has also helped the poor family, punished some bad-famous officials, drove away the Yue nobles in Lutian, liberated the slaves, and promoted the vision of "Playland", and even performed several dramas here...

Anyway, what the Mohist school wanted to strive for was to become a farmer of self-cultivated farmers and deal with the nobles in a war state with Yue Kingdom. That was just a normal state under a "hostile state", rather than "abolition of the nobles of the clan", the princes and the old system issued a manifesto.

King Yi of Yue was really furious this time. It was already June. The previous alliance was disrupted by the righteous army, but now it has become a joke again.

After he took back the small town and collected food and grass in Huacheng, he first asked the king of Fei to build city defense and assemble the army of Fei to be in the capital. He did not have to follow the battle, but just guard it.

Then he walked steadily from the Kingdom of Shu and the army to Lanling, and slowly walked back to the vicinity of Nicheng along the way. This time, the charity army became much more honest and disappeared directly. It should have retreated to Tengdi.

When King Yi of Yue arrived in Nicheng with his army, it was already the season when the fire broke out in July. From April to July, the army was exhausted.

What's even more disgusting is that when King Yue arrived, Ni Zi hurriedly apologized, saying that the food in the city was taken away by the Mozhe.

King Yue originally did not believe this, but the Mo family had no mistakes before. Since he was in the name of a righteous teacher, he could not do such a thing no matter how he looked at it.

After asking again, he couldn't help but curse.

It turned out that shortly after the Yishishi had captured Nicheng, Ni Zi, who was heading to the Yishui Alliance, hurried back, but on the way back, he was captured by some of the Yishishishi who went to the expedition of Tengdi and educated him on the "politics of benevolence and righteousness".

This involves a question of ideological interpretation rights. In theory, education can only be done by the Emperor Zhou, the overlord and the king of the great power.

However, the Mohist school has always emphasized the will of heaven and has always said, "I have the will of heaven as if the craftsman has rules." Therefore, educating Ni Zi is "teaching on behalf of heaven". It doesn't matter whether the sky exists or not. What is important is that the Mohist school claims that he has mastered the will of heaven.

Because Mozi had called Qin Bo wary today, and King Yue would be wary tomorrow, and the Marquis of Lu would be foolish the day after tomorrow. Occasionally, he said that the Marquis of Qi was mentally retarded, and the basis of this scolding came from Tianzhi.

Whether Ni Zi accepts or not does not depend on the truth itself, but on the military strength of the Mohist school.

If the Emperor of Zhou could kill the Mo family, it would be natural that the Emperor was qualified to speak of the will of heaven. However, the Emperor of Zhou did not have this ability, so Ni Zi could only listen. If the other princes wanted to talk about the principle of "ritual", they had to wipe the shit on their bodies first. However, they did not have a systematic principle or ideology. Now the theory of the Five Virtues has not appeared. Confucianism is in a very comprehensive and in terms of ideological system, no one can call the Mo family a male and female.

As for whether Tianzhi is inviolable, whether it is natural for the nobles of the clans, or whether it is the king's land, the national justice, self-restraint and regain rituals, or the monarchy, or the monarch's power is a matter of its own system of principles.

Mastering the right to interpret is just like the imperial examination itself, it is an excellent civil servant selection system, and the key lies in what to take.

The Mohist school claims to have mastered the will of heaven, or the Confucian scholars claim to have mastered the way of benevolence and righteousness, or the church claims to have mastered the will of God. This is not a problem. The key to the problem lies in how to explain the problem of the world. Science itself is also a way to explain the world. If the proof is valid, then it must be forced to accept it from a young age and subtly influence it. This is normal.

I am not afraid of making mistakes because he knows how to explain the world, so the Mohist slogan is "synonym", "equality", and "universal love".

The color of the three colors is changed to the synonym of the Mo family, because the Mo family does not need to incite absolute freedom to fight against the royal power and the nobles, and because the power of the handicraftsmen and petty bourgeoisie at this time is too weak, there is no possibility of success at all. Instead of inciting absolute freedom to fight against feudalism, it is easier to synonym the vanguard to destroy the nobles of the Shiqing Dynasty.

Based on the synonym and "Tianzhi", after coming out to teach Ni Zi a lesson, the Mozhe from Teng land purchased the food in the hands of the people in Teng land with money and iron tools, which were originally distributed by the treasury.

All the people were enthusiastic and helped to deliver the food ink truck to the fortress built on the border of Tengdi.

However, the Mo family did not buy them all. In addition to leaving the food for the people, they also left some of the food. Ni Zi was a witness and wrote a letter to King Yue.

The letter said: When two armies fight, they should not disturb the people. This is God's will. It is unlucky to violate them. Now the Yishi has bought the food of the people in Ni and left behind the seeds of food. The giants said that King Yue is a cruel and warlike king, so the Mo family is worried that King Yue, you will collect food from the people, so they left behind a grain of 40,000 troops for half a month. Please don't rob the people's food to produce hunger.

Ni Zi is the proof.

The following is also written that King Yi of Yue owes a total of 50,000 stones of corn from the Mo family, and will be returned after the war. This stone is the small stone of the Zhou system. The Zhou system is different from the Yue system, which is a satirizing that Yue people have no qualifications to observe China's policies to seek overlords.

The amount of food was written clearly, but King Yue was helpless when he cursed. This letter had been read out by Ni Zi in the city and the people accepted it.

King Yi of Yue wanted to be the hegemon of these small countries, but it was not good to completely ignore the ideas of the people in the capital. Yue did not have the ability to destroy the country and establish counties.

After scolding, the army was ordered to eat a lot and rest for three days to eat cattle and sheep to fight against the land!

…………

Outside the fortress twenty miles outside Tengcheng, public construction and smelting are observing the terrain, and many people are burying some giant trees in front of them.

This is a commonly used method of defending the city by the Mohist school. The function of these giant trees is to calculate distance and be used as a marker of the battlefield during future battles.

At the military meeting in Pei County, a decision had been made to fight a decisive battle rather than a siege counterattack on the fortress.

Because the top leaders of the Mohist school have reached a unified strategic goal: to resolve the threat of Yue by one battle, completely erupt the internal contradictions suppressed by Yue, form a deterrent against small countries and force them to join the non-attack alliance, and at the same time, they must demonstrate the field capabilities of the Mohist Yishi. If Qi takes the opportunity to pick fruit, then they must also help the defeated Yue people to deter Qi from going south in the name of non-attack in the world.

In short, it is to weaken the Yue Kingdom and force the Yue Kingdom to give up the north, but it must retain enough power to intimidate Qi Kingdom and cannot drive away the Yue Kingdom and another Qi Kingdom came.

The confrontation of defending the city and fighting back is actually the safest, but also the most uncontrollable. Once the time is delayed for a long time and the Qi people seize the opportunity to stab Yue Kingdom, the situation for the Mo family here will not be so perfect.

Therefore, whether it was the circle of the "summer harvest" before or the various preparations now, they were all preparing for the field battle to defeat the King of Yue in one fell swoop.

Ten days ago, the six brigades and engineers led by Shi had returned, leaving the Vietnamese army far away and rested in the fortress for ten days.

During this period, the Mohist family also completed the summer harvest and planting work in three counties, and basically did not delay the summer crops this year.

The charity army had all gathered in Tengcheng before. After returning soon, the army gathered, and the food, gunpowder and various weapons were prepared in sufficient preparations and piled up in the fortress and Tengcheng.

There are a total of sixteen infantry brigades, a brigade of the Mohist family, nine heavy cannons that can drive eight jin iron balls, and thirty-six cannons that can drag and maneuver on the battlefield, can fire three jin iron balls, and can follow the infantry to advance.

Five hundred cavalrymen, more than eighty light-mounted scouts holding crossbows or muskets.

In addition, the 700 people from all over the country came to "support the righteousness" and the Youshi, mainly as a group of people who protected the flanks in the melee, did not expect them to play a huge role.

This is the ultimate force that the Mohist school can mobilize, and it is precisely because this is the limit that the Mohist school actually does not want to fight a siege and counterattack.

Even though the fortress in Tengdi was built far beyond the level of this era, with artillery, the Yue people had no gunpowder and could not nibble a fortress after a year of attack.

There were enough war examples in later generations, not to mention Europe, that is, after the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, relying on artillery and simple wooden fortresses, seven or eight hundred people could block the siege of more than 10,000 Qing troops. If the Qing army had not obtained the support of British artillery, they would not have been able to obtain the fortress with artillery configurations.

If you want to play in Tengdi, the excavation tactics used by Wucheng must have sufficient organizational ability and mathematical level, and also require a large amount of long-range weapons to suppress, and most importantly... gunpowder that can blow up the city wall, otherwise this zigzag excavation tactic will not be implemented.

Just as the King of Yue was worried about Qi's back-sting, the Mo family was also worried that Qi would take the opportunity to pick fruits.

At the Mohist high-level meeting after the synonym meeting ended in September last year, Shi mentioned the necessity of this battle.

Jin and Chu have been in a row for a year, and both sides are almost unable to hold on. There is no other possibility except for a decisive battle. No matter who wins and who loses in Jin and Chu, it will inevitably lead to the end of the battle between the two strong. For the Mo family, the best result is that Chu State will be defeated, and the prince will settle into Chu State and let Chu State divide it into two.

Once the situation of the two strong forces fighting ends, the expansion of the Mohist family in the Sishui River Basin can no longer be so blatant. Instead, they have to wait for the opportunity to wait until the winner becomes the target of the princes in the world to expand again.

So there is not much time left for the Mohist family in the Sishui River Basin.

We must fight the Yue Kingdom and make the Yue Kingdom completely unable to maintain hegemony in Sishui. We must also be able to control the situation. We cannot let Qi take the opportunity to go south, not to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, but to run to the two Huaihe areas. If necessary, we must support it after the Yue Kingdom. Since the Yue Kingdom is a tradition of father and son killing each other and taking the throne with each other, it is easy to have many opportunities that can be borrowed by the Mo family after the great decline in the prestige of King Yue.

If you want to do big things in the future, Chu State must also hurry up. Once the Sishui River Basin is opened up, in addition to the successful establishment of the "Si Shui princes not attack" alliance, you must prepare for infiltration of Chu State. The premise is that the Chu State was defeated in the battle with Wei and Han this time, and the Mo family is full of confidence in this regard, and it is difficult for the Chu people to defeat the current Wei State.

In addition, Shi also talked about economic issues at that senior secret meeting.

If Pei County no longer completely opens up the Sishui River Basin, there will be big problems in Pei County's economy.

Previously, relying on cattle, horses and iron tools, we absorbed a large amount of grain and obtained excess profits. While we also ensured that there was not too much currency circulating in Peixian City. With the ability of the Mohist school to monopolize some necessary handicraft products, we controlled the grain prices in Peixian area.

But now, the loans for the Niuma and Iron Products have basically been paid off. The price of grain in Pei County has been reduced in price due to the surge in grain production, and a large amount of currency is circulating on the market. If there are not enough handicrafts to meet this market, it will cause a series of problems.

In short, there is no shortage of technology, people, handicraftsmen, markets within a broader Mohist system to eliminate currency, and there is also a shortage of more people who can become industries.

As the basis for conscription and political stability, the self-cultivated farmers in Pei County are absolutely unmovable, so they can only rely on the population of the remaining small countries in the Sishui River Basin to solve this problem.

This monster in Pei County also needs a wider market. With the system of Shiqin nobles not being broken, the consumption capacity and market in various places are too narrow. After the reform of Pei County, 50,000 households in a county have accumulated over nearly ten years of consumption capacity, and even world centers like Taoyi are not as good as those in the world.

The world is transformed in a way that is easier to absorb and devour. This is the self-awareness of this monster. If you don’t obey, you will have major events that will be backfired. The basis of the transformation is to remove the feudal system bound by the nobles of the Shiqiu and the personal land, improve productivity, thereby enhancing consumption capacity, and allowing the market to fill more commodities.

Furthermore, the Mohist workshops are mainly smelting and military industry. Daily necessities such as iron and agricultural tools have been temporarily saturated in Pei County. After that, more handicraft products must appear, and they are non-military handicraft products in order to continuously obtain local food and stabilize the currency.

This all requires the development of handicraftsmen and cities. After the division of land in Pei County, it lacks the motivation to change industries. It takes decades or hundreds of years to create a large number of refugee laborers by relying on the land accumulated naturally. Moreover, these places, as the foundation of the Mohist soldiers, will not allow this situation and can only be controlled.

The Mo family in the Song Dynasty could reach out, but it was not as easy as it was after getting Sishui, so this battle must also be fought economically.

Shi led six brigades to travel outside for three months, and promoted the principles of the Mo family, which led to a comparison of King Yue's unresponsiveness, which laid the foundation for quickly occupying this place after the end of the First World War.

After these three months, King Yue had to fight to the decisive battle. He could no longer wait and did not dare to take the risk of siege. However, the righteous army relied on his mobility to surpass the back path.
