Chapter 59 The stars hold the moon

The people all thought that when Meng Sheng arrived, they would be able to live the same life as Sishang.

The Mohist school did not say whether the change could be successful, but it has been explaining the benefits that the various terms of the change bring to the people.

Therefore, it seemed that the former haze had been driven away and the clear sky was revealed. The people were eagerly looking forward to it, just like a long drought and rain.

…………

On the road outside the capital, high-standard envoys from the Mohist families such as Meng Sheng were slowly moving towards Fei Guo.

In the car, Meng Sheng was recalling the various arrangements at the previous Mohist high-level meeting.

Behind his mission to Fei Country, it was not just a Si activity, but the Mohist forces in all parts of the world were fully cooperating, striving to prevent all countries from interfering in unity.

In order to achieve this, the Mohist forces in all countries all received different instructions and used their strong organizational capabilities to instigate this matter synonymously and in concert within the world.

Shortly after Hu Feizi went north to Zhao State, another Mohist team set out for Handan, where they were going to prepare to defend Handan for the intervention of the three countries of Wei, Han and Qi in Zhao State's inheritance.

This is not for Gongzi Zhang, but for dragging Wei and Hanqi into a battle of civil strife in the Three Jin Dynasties, allowing Wei and Hanqi to interfere in Si affairs. This is a replica of the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.

The Three Jins are in the face of mountains and rivers. If Zhao State rebels against Wei, Wei State will face the situation of being attacked from all sides.

Even though Si Shang was rich and the Wei people had already had a jealous attitude, the Three Jins were unfair and Zhao landed, and Si Shang was as stable as Mount Tai.

In order to cooperate with the Zhao State's inheritance rebellion, the Xuanyi tribe of the Mo family launched a full-scale operation, and vigorously promoted the matters such as Wuqian's transformation, which put silent pressure on the Wei State.

Not to mention that the communication between the monarchs of various countries was not smooth at this time, and the Mohist school was determined by being unintentional, so even if the communication was effective, the intrigue between various countries...

Even if Qin State wrote a bloody letter, Wu Qi entered Qin and Qin's reforms had no delusions about Xihe. Will Wei Hou believe it?

Even if Qin swears to the heavenly alliance, he will not interfere with the civil war between the Three Jins between Wei and Zhao, and will not alliance with the Zhao State with the same surname. Will Wei State believe it?

The State of Wei cannot believe it, nor dare to believe it. If the matter of Zhao is not resolved, the people of Wei will worry about a fire behind it. This is something that the Marquis of Wei dare not bet on.

The Xuanyi tribe of the Mohist school analyzed the seriousness of this matter to the fullest, and Wei State could not consider whether the policy of Zhao's replacement of monarch would be beneficial to it.

In addition to taking advantage of the contradictions within the Three Jins, the State of Chu, the most powerful enemy outside the Three Jins, also began to do its best to cooperate with the various changes made by the Mohist family in Si this time.

After the Battle of Yuguan in Daliang more than ten years ago, the Chu State split, and the prince settled into Chen, calling himself the King of Chu, and the Chu State split.

Because Chen, Xiang and other places are adjacent to the State of Song, they were originally just using the Daliang Yuguan to trick the King of Chu, making the relationship between the State of Chu and the Mo family closer: the State of Chu needs the former Chen, Xiang and other places of the Mo family, especially after the loss of Daliang Yuguan, Chu was in chaos and foreign troubles continued.

The Jin-Yue Alliance has been in the process of decades. The Mo family took advantage of the internal chaos and external troubles of Chu and defeated the Yue Kingdom, which also allowed the Chu Kingdom to focus more on internal reforms and the direction of Nanyang and Zheng Kingdom.

It was precisely because of the failure of the horse that the Chu State's contraction on the Eastern Front was exchanged for the power to interfere in Nanyang. Zheng State still had the strength to occasionally interfere in Zheng's internal affairs.

After the Battle of Hanshui, the King of Chu sent envoys to Si Shang and asked the Mo family to help Chu's reform. Unlike the Mo family's previous initiative to seek the reform of Chu, this time, the Mo family was actively looking for the position of King of Chu in a precarious situation. All kinds of changes were also carried out in an extremely fierce way.

Cutting off the throne and creating conflicts seems to be beneficial to the centralization of Chu State, but in fact it is beneficial to the civil strife of Chu State even more.

The Mo family helped the Chu King carry out the changes that the Mo family had forced some Chu ministers to defect, but the new army in Yanying and Yingdu had been established, and the power of the Chu King was increasing, and it could barely suppress those nobles.

The Mo family did not believe in the King of Chu, and also understood that the King of Chu was just using the knife to kill people, and borrowed the Mo family's sword to kill the nobles who were divided.

But the Mo family was also secretly plaguing the King of Chu. Now the conflict between the king's power and the nobles of Chu has reached its limit, and it is far from the time to kill the donkey. Moreover, once the King of Chu dies, an internal strife in Chu is inevitable, and now it is just a strange balance.

The Mo family was using the power of the nobles to prevent the King of Chu from reacting too early to expel the Mo family.

Similarly, some changes in the State of Chu, the training of new troops and other policies also brought certain benefits to the King of Chu.

With the help of the transportation of the Yangtze River, as well as the policy of "entrust a gentleman and grandchildren to collect titles and salaries for three generations" and "realize the borderlands", the Chu State now has Dongting and Cangwu.

The farthest border of Chu State was reached in the later years, and a series of colonial cities such as "Limensai" and "Linwu City" were established. In conjunction with the Mohist explanation of "spreading civilization to the barbarians and Baiyue to benefit the world", the power of merchants to trade in Baiyue for profit and the generational difference between weapons and technology and culture made Linwu City and Limensai an important city in the south of Chu State.

The Mohist activities in the country of Yue, using cooperation with merchants to dump textiles, iron tools, plant sugarcane, and sell southern spices, have also established a colonial city along the coastline at the estuary of the Pearl River, and have used waterways to establish a connection with Limensai in the Chu State.

Hundreds of adventurers were able to establish strongholds in the mouth of the river, and rely on star forts and cannon guns to block the attacks of the primitive tribes of Baiyue. At the same time, traded, began to explore the south, and started to make profits with tropical spices, attracting more merchants and adventurers who retired from the army of the charity division who wanted to make a fortune.

In this case, the commercial tax received by the King of Chu was also a considerable amount of income every year, and it also supported the policy of expanding the border. Some weak nobles on the edge of the patriarchal system were also willing to take the initiative to go to the border to seek real profits.

And now, the King of Chu finally wanted to attack Chen.

The affairs of Chen, Xiang and other places were not just the internal affairs of Chu, but actually a continuation of the battle for hegemony between Jin and Chu.

Without Wei Han's support, Wang Ziding could not support it at all. Wang Ziding's existence was because of the Wei State's aggressive and aggressive victory over the world for more than ten years and Wu Qi's great victory at Daliang Yu Pass.

Now, the Mo family told the King of Chu about the possible chaos of the Three Jins and supported the King of Chu's annexation and unification of Chen and Xiang.

Double rebellion has its own purpose.

The King of Chu really wanted to regain the defected Chu cities, kill his younger brother or make his younger brother surrender, so as to completely get rid of the biggest quagmire of the Chu State in the decades of the battle for hegemony between Jin and Chu, thereby increasing prestige and continuing reforms.

In the meantime..., it was hoped that Chu would take action against Chen and Xiang, which would trigger a new round of disputes between Wei and Chu, making Wei even more unable to get involved in Si. If Wei wanted to get involved in Si, Wei would need to be controlled and become a vassal. Chen Xiang would need to be small with Wei in the hands of Prince Ding, and a stable internal environment of the Three Jins. Qin would not be able to fight for Xihe for the time being, and Qi and Wei formed an alliance with Wei. After the Mohist intervention was forced to intervene in the war, the State of Qi could not seek the Si Shang situation.

But the situation is to disintegrate this situation from all directions, which puts threats in every direction of Wei.

The Battle of the Slash and the Battle of Hanshui made Qi unable to go south to Si, and the conflict between Wei and Qi was reduced, but he used the pressure from the Qi direction to exchange for the pressure on Wei in Qin, Chu and Zhao, and he would still make a profit after all.
