The last words that the guard said were exactly what Wu Qi said were the strangest and most difficult to understand.

The Mohist said that he wanted profit and that he would not let him die for the sake of benefiting the world. How could this make people willing to join the Mohist? If he did not let him die for the sake of suffering, he would be contrary to seeking profit and would not be able to figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

However, he did not ask directly, and said, "I heard that if the Mo family giant had an order to fight for the benefit of the world, those who became Mo must respect the orders and return to the army even if they retreated at home?"

The guard nodded and said, "It's not just that. Not only Mo, but also those on Si, have this obligation. Once the congress passes, all those who join the army need to join the army and do not delay."

"Even the representatives said that there is no right without obligation, nor is there no obligation without rights. It is an obligation for people from Si Shang to join the army. The right is to ensure that the people of Si Shang are rich and not slaughtered, and all those who have no land and cannot live and organize farming together, etc...."

This man spoke in a very organized manner. If these words were just 20 years ago, they would be enough to resound throughout the country and be a famous scholar in the city.

But now he is just an ordinary guard who tells the story, and Wu Qi is shocked.

My evaluation of the Mohist school in my heart couldn't help but rise again. Does the Mohist school actually want to "everyone becomes a scholar"?

Not to mention whether the guard understands those words, it is not easy to say them.

Which one of the words that could be recognized twenty years ago was not a scholar?

Nowadays, those who have retired from the righteous master can write their own names, be considered as literacy, and everyone can say a few new words in the Mohist books, such as what obligations they have.

When Qi and Lu founded, there were only three hundred senators and only half a thousand senators. If we look at the standards of scholars at that time, there were at least tens of thousands of senators in the Si area.

Wu Qi sighed secretly, thinking that he had been managing Xihe for many years, how many people could write?

The guard saw Wu Qi pondering and said, "However, I am from Taoqiu, and I have not participated in the joint farming or went to the workshop to do work after retirement, so I am not subject to this obligation. Taoqiu is not under the control of the Mo family."

"But one day, if there is a war that benefits the world, I will return to the army. The Mo family's affairs are always right and can benefit us. This is all visible. Although I cannot become the Mo person who will never die for the world, if I really want to call me, I cannot retreat."

"It is the benefit of the world, and everyone will benefit. Since I am one of the people in the world, benefiting the world is benefiting myself. When we really need to join the army, I think all those Mo people who are dead will die. If they die, no one will save the world and save us, and we have to go to the world."

"Now..."

The guard showed a naughty smile on his face and laughed: "Now there are still people who are determined to benefit the world to save the world. It's not our turn."

"But I think we can't use us. If there is any big deal, the righteous army of Si Shang has been around for nearly twenty years. Every three or four years, the seventeen or eighteen years have to serve in the army for three years. Every year, young people come in and veterans retreat. We really want to fight... Not to mention fighting against those unrighteous kings, if there is an unrighteous king who wants to occupy Si, they will know what a hundred thousand heroic army is."

Wu Qi agreed with a few words, and felt more and more the terrifying aspects of the Si Shang military system.

The Xihe Wushang is a heavy infantryman, and he is mostly wearing armor to fight to the death. It is difficult to train and selection is extremely difficult. Because it involves privileges such as tax exemption, the number of people cannot be too large.

An armored warrior needs to be able to fight with a crossbow and can attack with a spear. Once he is selected, he will be in the army until he is fifty.

He has been in charge of Xihe for many years, and only 30,000 to 50,000 military soldiers. However, these 30,000 to 50,000 military soldiers were enough to prevent the Qin people from looking east and suppress Han and Zhao Yichen to serve Wei.

However, the righteous army of Si Shang was completely different from the martial arts. Only Si Shang could use this military system that had been in the army for three or four years.

If used in other countries, there are many reasons that cannot be worked.

For example, although the fire speed of the musket on Si is not as fast as a crossbow and the range is not as good as a bow, it takes seven or eight years to train a archer who can shoot in melee. However, the musket on Si is to learn to queue up, raise the gun, fire volley, and move forward. It can be formed in half a year, and the shooting is not inferior to those archers who have practiced for seven or eight years.

The Si Shang army formation was scattered and stupid, and the pursuit and detour was all due to cavalry. The stirrups originated from Si Shang. When all countries were using chariots, Si Shang began to have cavalry, which was far superior to other countries. Therefore, the training of infantry was mainly based on square formations. After three years of training, even if they retreated home for several years, once they were recruited, they would be familiar with it for half a year. If they formed a formation and fought, they would be no weaker than other countries' strong army.

In addition, the Mo family army promotes morality, and everyone knows why they fight, and there are those Mo people who never die as the backbone... If there is a "warlike king" who wants to get to Si, then the Mo family will really be able to pull out tens of thousands of soldiers on Si. Even if they cannot fight in the field, they will use the Mo people's ability to defend the city and build the city with the advantages of artillery, then those field troops of the Mo family will be patrolling around, who dares to say that they will win?

He also thought about how to fight against the Mo family, but after thinking about it, if the Mo family was a turtle in the field, it seemed that there was no way to break it.

The Mohist charity army did not fight many battles, and the battle of storm was considered a regular field battle. Later, the most aid battle was that the Mohist first sent people to help Lu defend the city. When the Qi army was exhausted, the righteous army marched again. The Qi people were defeated and could not be considered a field battle.

In terms of the Battle of the Shui, Wu Qi thought about many tactics to break the Mohist defense, but the possibility of victory he could think of was ultimately attributed to the Mohist right wing's active pursuit and opening up the formation, and there was no chance of winning.

Wu Qi is not a person who attributes all the possibilities of victory to his opponent's mistakes, so he knows that the Mohist charity master is hard to defeat.

If you want to break through, unless the cannon and cavalry are stronger than the Mohist chariot, but the cannon and cavalry are stronger than the righteous army, there is no existence. As long as the Mohist sect does not want to attack, it will be invincible.

Originally, there was still a chance during the Battle of Hanshui. Now, the Mo family may not be able to annex the various countries, but it would not be possible if the various countries wanted to attack Si Shang.

Wu Qi said intimately: "The land of Si Shang has completely belonged to the Mo family. If Wei attacked Si Shang, Wei would be in danger. But he did not listen to me and suppress the Qin people first, and was greedy for the wealthy people of Si Shang. Now I have entered Qin again... Wenhou's hegemony will be destroyed by this son!"

Thinking of this, Wu Qi finally asked the question he wanted to know the most.

"When you serve, can there be people who join the Imperial team?"

The man nodded and said, "Yes. I have been a musketeer for more than three years. A total of seven people in the company have become Ink masters or candidates."

Wu Qi smiled and said, "The Mo family also said that everyone wants to seek profit, and those who want to be Mo want to die for the benefit of the world. Isn't this like a person saying that I like white and hate white?"

The guard stared at him and said, "You... are wrong."

"So what the representative of the People in the World said. First, I have said just now that benefiting the world is benefiting the people of the world, and everyone is one of the people of the world, so benefiting the world is benefiting oneself. This is the same as the Mohist saying of universal love."

"Didn't Mozi say that benevolence means love, and only by loving yourself can you know how to love others. For example, our representative even said that I like horses because I use horses for riding horses, that's not about loving horses. If you don't even know how to love yourself, how can you love others?"

"The same is true for benefiting the world. You have to know that you want to benefit, then you can know how the world can make you profit, and then you have to know what to do to make the world profit, so that you can have the opportunity to benefit."

"Then the former gangsters felt that paying taxes to serve noble people on the land was like this. The Mohist family had to teach people to seek profit first, and then they knew that this was unreasonable, and then they had to do something for profit, right?"

"Second, have you ever heard the story of Zi Shao not accepting jade back then? Some people regard gold and jade as treasures, while others regard righteousness as treasures, and getting treasures is profitable, and some people think that they can benefit the people of the world for a lifetime. There are also many such people... although they suffer, they are happy."

"It's like there is a faction in the Mo family, which is really a great struggle. They feel that they can be satisfied by enduring hardships, giving benefits to others, and dying for the benefit of the world. They are close to Mo Zhai Yusheng and are happy in their hearts. There are quite a few such people."

Speaking of this, the guard couldn't help but smile and said, "There is one in our company. Only our Sima Chang, he is the one who admires Gao grandson the most. Oh, this person... Anyway, we think it's very hard, and he enjoys it. He still feels that if he doesn't do this, he won't be able to do it."

After half-smile and half-admiring the man who was suffering, he was about to say third place when a businessman walked out of the exchange next to him, the man choked on the third place and said, "If we can see each other again in the future, let's talk again. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he picked up the musket and walked to the carriage. Wu stood up and finally asked, "How many people are there in Taoqiu City who can hold guns like you?"

The guard said casually: "Speak at least four or five thousand people."

Wu Qi's heart suddenly moved... Once the Mo family's military system spread throughout the world with muskets and gunpowder, all countries probably had to learn it.

But once you learn, all the people can fight. Once someone incites them, things like the chaos of politics and riots will emerge one after another.

In terms of the world, who can incite the Chinese people the best? Who can talk about morality? I am afraid that apart from the Mohist school, we will not consider the second one.

However, if you don’t learn from the Mohist military system, it will probably be difficult to survive in troubled times in the future.

The chariot war has fallen behind with the emergence of stirrups, and the emergence of firearms has also made the proletarian nobles no longer have an overwhelming advantage over farmers.

If you don’t learn this military system and do not change, can you rely on the chariots and soldiers to attack the Mohist guns and cannons and defeat them in one battle?

After learning the Mohist military system, if the moral ideas of the Mohist school were spread, the people would easily realize those unreasonable points, and everyone could fight. The nobles of the clans could no longer rely on chariots to fight a hundred. At that time, wouldn’t all countries have riots?

If you don’t learn the military system, the army is weak, and you will compete for power in troubled times. If you don’t learn from others, you will have to learn it. You will die early.

After learning the military system and the people are strong, the Mohist morality is the easiest to convince the Chinese people. If you spread it a little, you can incite it and die late.

But they die early and late... All the nobles of this generation died.

Now an ordinary charity master in Taoqiu has retired from the market, all has such insights... Wu Qi shook his head and smiled, thinking that the State of Song was afraid it would be over.
