After thinking about it over and over again, the King of Chu finally sent an envoy to Pei County.

This time, the situation was very different from the situation a few years ago. The Mo family took the initiative to stick to the State of Chu at the beginning, but with the sudden change in the situation in the Three Jins before, the Chu State rejected the most basic conditions of the Mo family.

But in the current situation, the initiative and passiveness have changed hands.

After the contact many years ago, the State of Chu had just shown a little bit of arrogance, and the Mo family immediately gave up contact with the State of Chu, in order to take the initiative in their hands this day.

The Mengzhuze alliance was a war-breaking meeting, but the Mo family bypassed the Chu State and did not even inform the Chu State, which made the King of Chu feel great pressure.

The King of Chu would not cherish it after he lost it. After losing it, he regretted it now. He only took the initiative to change hands. This time, he invited the Mo family to Chu, so he could only let down his face and say some nonsense like "benefiting the people" that he did not believe in at all.

The envoy came from Ying and wanted to go to Peiyi, but he had to go east. The Chen people restored the country, which led to the Chu State cutting off the connection between the northern line and the Mo family. The road he took when he went to Pei this time was far from the previous land route, but had to go down the river, pass through Hubei and reach Haiyang, then pass from Haiyang to Hangou, and enter the hinterland of the Mo family.

…………

When the Chu envoy traveled east, another group of people went west from Ying and went straight into Shu.

The Mohist school here has already made it very skillful. The Mohist who has traveled west for the first time was very sad when he looked at the winding and dangerous rivers.

More than ten years ago, the Mo family's Maimai Qisui had already brought people deep into Shu. They started with merchants. With the help of the funds and personnel and technical support provided by the Mo family, they mined salt mines and mercury in Bashu, and had a duty-free festival passed by Chu State. They did not participate in the internal disputes of Shu State for the time being, and they had already gained a firm foothold in Shu.

After more than ten years of operation, the Mohist family's reputation has become famous in Shu Kingdom with iron, mercury, salt and other things. It is known as the "giant rich" and has made friends with many nobles.

The nobles of Shu did not know much about what the Mo family did, and the Mo people here did not have the radical policies like Peixian, or were unable to implement radical policies. In the eyes of the nobles, they seemed extremely moderate.

Just as the current policy of the Mohist family in Peixian can only say that "the Mohist family who was moderate to the old aristocratic system" must be the Mohist family who had not yet ruled and had an unstable foothold.

After more than ten years of operation here, the relationship between the Mohist and Shu Kingdom was even begun to interfere in some of the military affairs of Shu Kingdom due to a subtle cooperative relationship.

Starting decades ago, Shu and Qin launched a series of repeated competitions around Nanzheng. Nanzheng belonged to Hanzhong and was in a critical position.

From Qin to attack Nanzheng, Nanzheng rebelled and returned to Shu, Shu sent troops again, Qin took back... After many changes of hands, Nanzheng was not lost, Qin went south to Bashu in Hanzhong, which was a delusion.

At this time, the Shiniu Road had not been dug, and it was not easy for Shu to maintain Nanzheng. The Mo family paid money and organized their strength. When the Qin people were in the news of going south, they helped transport grain and salt several times and gained the trust of the King of Shu.

Shu was not a wilderness tribe. When King Wu attacked Zhou, Shu participated in the alliance to attack Zhou, and then gradually migrated from Hanzhong to Sichuan and Minjiang River.

At this time, the capital of Shu Kingdom was within the Chengdu area of ​​later generations. At this time, the prototype of Dujiangyan had appeared, but it was not perfected.

Before the Qin people obtained Shu, during the later period of King Hui of Wei, historical records recorded: "People came back from the Qingyi River in Minshan, Qin." That is to say, within thirty years at most, the King of Wei sent people to Shu Kingdom to inspect local water conservancy projects.

However, the prototype of Dujiangyan is the prototype, and the overall improvement has not yet begun. More than a hundred Mo people who borrowed Chu to Sichuan to make this happen.

After more than ten years of business, it has already gained reputation, and young Mo people have also begun to continue to rise. The clarity of the situation in Chu, the "trust" relationship with the King of Shu, the iron tools of Nanyang Iron Mine, and the accumulation of gunpowder and stone blowing technology have all been completed by the Mo family entering Shu to create this "benefit the world" water conservancy project.

Moreover, this time the Mohist family had a rare opportunity.

The development of commercial handicrafts in Shu Kingdom, coupled with the involvement in Shu Kingdom's struggle for Nanzheng, as well as the praise from Shu people brought by the Shu people to win over the Shu Kingdom, made Shu King Du Bie act to win over.

Du Be did not know the organizational model of the Mo family, and thought that Zaomei Qisui here was the "big figure" of the Mo family, so he wanted Princess Shang to win over and make her in-laws according to the feudal model, so that Zaomei Qisui became a nobleman of Shu, merged with the royal family of Shu, and strengthened her rule.

However, the organizational model of the Mo family determined that this decision was not possible. It had an organizational existence, a strict organizational structure at the bottom, and the Mo family's opposition to aristocratic in-laws and other matters, all made the Mo family report this matter to the person in charge of Chu and Shu affairs in Wancheng, Nanyang, and immediately reported to Si Shang.

After discussions within the Mohist school, more than a hundred Mohists entered Sichuan this time.

The Mohist school has been planning to build in Shu Kingdom more than ten years ago, but the situation in Shu Kingdom is special, so there can only be another method.

This time, the decision was to marry the princess of Shu Kingdom in a maiqisui to gain the trust of the king of Shu, and to organize the construction of Dujiangyan in a similar form to the officialdom.

In the long run, this is naturally for the benefit of the world.

But in the short term, this is actually for Nanzheng, Hanzhong, and also for the final preparations for entering Shu in the future.

Si Shang is in danger. Once a stable foothold in the future and formally declare war with the old system, it may cause siege among the nations.

Things on Si cannot be resolved in Si, but must be resolved in Chu.

If you really want to do something that will shake the world in the future, Xiangyang Yanying is the support point of the Mo family in Chu State.

If Xiangyang and Yanying are safe, Shu must not be in the hands of others. The situation in Shu is special and it is difficult to make such a plan as Chu. Then you must take Nanzheng Hanzhong into your hands, no matter what method is used.

If the Qin State goes south, Shu will remain unresolved. When the Mohist family is engaged in major events in the future, the Western Front will be safe. If the Western Front is safe, the Mohist family will take the strategic initiative: Nanyang and Si are on the two lines, which can support each other.

When attacking Si Shang, he would attack from Nanyang to the north, threatening the hinterland of Yiluo and Han and Wei; when attacking Xiangyang, he would attack from Si Shang to the north, disintegrating the alliance of various vassal states.

Within this strategy, Hanzhong's position becomes extremely important. Defending can prevent the Qin State from occupying the upper reaches of the Han River, and he can only choose to attack from the Shangluo direction; attack, once there is a chance, he can enter Shu, allowing the Mo family to connect the upstream and downstream of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River line to form a piece.

Once the slogan of a complete break with the old system and the old rules is clearly shouted, what needs to be considered is the crazy reactions of the monarchs of various vassal states. At that time, they are likely to give up some contradictions and fully encircle and suppress the Mohist schools.

For this reason, I was preparing for it more than ten years ago, but now it is time for Shu to finally expand.

This time, the Mohist who went to Shu brought the instructions from the Central Committee of the Mohist family: to promote the marriage between Meiqisui and Shu Princess, and to elect the Mohist family to serve as an official to preside over the construction of Dujiangyan. After completion, he asked to enthrone Nanzheng and move the center of the Mohist family in Shu to Hanzhong, Nanzheng in the name of "guarding the northern border for Shu".

The promotion and determination of this matter include both practical factors, future goals and historical factors.

It is a bit sensitive to water control in Shu, especially if the management is very good, and it is even more so after completing Dujiangyan.

Because when Du Yu, the king of Shu, his appearance was built by controlling the water, which gained the support of the people. A coup of "abdication" occurred, and the royal power of Shu fell.

As a descendant of Bi Ling, Shu King Du Bie would definitely be very worried about this matter.

Now that the Mo family is operating in Shu, it seems that the King of Shu needs to win over. Because he does not know the Mo family's style of conduct and organizational structure, he wants to use the feudal in-law model to let the Mo family use it for him.

However, once the construction of Dujiangyan is completed, the Mohist activities in Shu will inevitably attract the attention of the King of Shu. How to reward it will be a serious problem.

At that time, the reputation will be high and the people will depend on it. Although there are hundreds of years of traditions that recognize the legitimacy of the Shu King, if it cannot be rewarded and instead conspires to harm the Mo family, it will inevitably cause chaos in Shu Kingdom.

If the Mohist school does not reward, the Mohist school has already demonstrated its ability by then. With the emergence of stirrups and iron tools, if the Qin State cannot open up in the Xihe State, it will definitely choose to go south to try, and Shu State needs talents again.

In this way, it is natural to take this opportunity to enthrone Nanzheng to defend the northern border. Nanzheng is far away from the hinterland of Shu, and the Shiniu Road has not been built yet, so it is extremely difficult to transport troops and grain, and defense is not easy.

However, Nanzheng was an important city for suppressing Ba, Qin and Chu. The Qin and Shu had been fighting around Nanzheng for decades, and the King of Shu would not give up.

At this time, there will be people who are willing to stay away from the capital and go to the four battles of Nanzheng. The King of Shu will definitely agree.

In this way, the Mohist school can continue to operate business in Bashu and accumulate people's hearts, and some sensitive figures can leave the political center of Shudu and avoid unnecessary coups.

At the same time, Hanzhong is considered to be "high mountains and far away from the emperor". No matter how it is done there, Shu Kingdom can't control it. At that time, you can let go of your hands and feet and carry out reforms and constructions according to the model of Si Shang in Pei County, and become a key place for the Mohist family to do major things in the future.

With Hanzhong in hand, Qin could not go south, either choose to fight to the death with Wei; or when stirrups and other western transmissions, they turned to attack Yiqu westward and the Wu family expanded their space.

Hanzhong is in hand, and with the danger of Zhongnan Mountain, you can defend against Qin and develop along the Han River to Ba. Once the situation is opened, if the Mo family takes advantage of the death of the King of Chu and the chaos of the Chu reformists and conservatives in the future, or support a prince of Chu, the upstream of Yanying can ensure safety.

To ensure safety in the upstream, Xiangyang can divide the Nanyang hinterland of Chu into two, defend Yan and Ying, control the capital of Chu, and occupy the upper reaches. If countries interfere, then Hanzhong can support it.

If there were only Si Shang, Yue, Huaibei, and Mohists at that time would be very dangerous and would be in a passive state. And Hanzhong, Yan and Ying, this is the top priority for seizing strategic initiative.
