Gong Zhonglian has seen the general trend of the times.

He did not regard the civil strife in Qin and the chaos in Chu at this time as the same internal struggle.

He also regarded the rebellion of the princes in Zhao State as the clarion call of the Zhao State's change.

Times have changed.

It turned out that the era of those young men fighting for power with their own soldiers and fiefs has passed, and the rise of the civilian class has changed all this with the rise of iron and gunpowder.

The original coups were replaced by some people on the premise that the system remained unchanged.

And now, what is hidden behind the coup rebellion is the turbulent era.

Mr. Zhao may not care about the sufferings of the people, but he needs to use the strength of the people.

Faced with the interference of Wei State and the rebellion of Gongzi Chao, he felt that Gong Zhonglian's words were very reasonable.

The cracks between Zhao and Wei are afraid they can no longer be compensated.

Wars broke out everywhere and military books flew around. Mr. Zhao had already made up his mind and had no way out.

The battle between Zhao Wei was held from Gangping to Zhongshan, from Que to Handan, and on the land of Zhao that stretched for thousands of miles.

Thousands of miles away.

Sishui River Basin.

The war thousands of miles away does not seem to affect this directly, but in fact it has a huge impact.

Feiguo, Wucheng.

More than a hundred years have passed since the Lu State built a city here in the 19th year of Duke Xiang of Lu.

This city, which was once deeply influenced by Confucian culture, was born Zeng Zi, who was entrusted with sorcery by Confucius, and Dan Tai Mieming, who judged people by his appearance and lost his blood...

It was once an important border town for the southern part of Lu to defend Yue, Chu and Wu, but now it has become a major northern area for Fei to defend against Lu after its independence.

During the Battle of Hanshui more than ten years ago, the Mohist family had a brief occupation of this place, and the siege technique far beyond the times made Yue Kingdom feel scared of the possibility of the Mohist family's hearts, which eventually led to the decisive battle of Hanshui.

During that war, Wucheng Yizhao committed suicide in order to escape the order of King Yi of Yue to collect food sent to the people by the Mo family for the sake of his family's reputation and continuation.

After that war, the food purchased by the Mohist family with paper money was quickly repaid through merchants in Lu and recycled all the paper money.

That was a starting point. Since then, the Mo family's activities in Wucheng have increased day by day. With the establishment of the Si Shang Fei Cong League, Ni, Zou and other countries have had friends with the Mo family to protect themselves by not attacking themselves. In addition, the surprise glimpse of the "benevolent and righteous army" left behind, Mo people often came here to give lectures in Wucheng.

But today, there is no such atmosphere, and the entire city is shrouded in a gloom.

In the street market, more than a dozen people were tied up by ropes, and more than half of them were covered with scars. Several noble private soldiers and soldiers were escorting them with sharp swords.

In the street market, several carriages were ready, with ropes tied to the back of the carriage.

Obviously, there will be a public execution here today, and it will be a major "scene" where cars split into the city.

The dozen people were beaten by the soldiers with weapons, moving their heavy chains and bound hands and feet, and from time to time, they looked up at the chariots prepared for them in the distance.

Amidst a dozen people tied up with ropes, there was a newly grown child who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.

The young man had not tied his hair yet, his messy hair was dispersed and condensed into strands by the blood on his face.

His legs kept trembling, and his face, which was a little tender with scars, was tense and his lips were tilted, as if he was about to cry.

The horses that were about to break their car in the distance made a neighing sound. The young man's feet softened and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and then a violent cry came out.

The young man who fell to the ground wanted to stand up, but could not stand up. His legs kept shaking. The soldier next to him picked up the wooden pole of the spear and whipped it hard.

A middle-aged man behind the young man stopped the soldiers before the young man, blocked the thrust for the young man, bent down and stretched out his hand at the young man, trying to pull the young man up.

"Are you scared? Don't be afraid, death will be quick..."

The middle-aged man just wanted to comfort the child whose legs were shaking in front of him, but after hearing these stable words, the young man cried even louder, and even felt a little aggrieved in his crying.

"I...I'm not afraid...but I don't know why my legs are shaking! I want to be a warrior, I don't want to be a coward in front of so many people, but my legs are always shaking, so I cry. I'm not afraid..."

The young man seemed to want to prove something, and refused the middle-aged man's hand that he stretched out to pull him up, and slammed his hands hard on his uncontrolled and trembling legs.

Perhaps, it hurts a lot and makes your legs numb, so you won’t shake, right?

Probably to prove that I was not really afraid, but my legs were shaking uncontrollably. The young man cried with grievance: "A few days ago, when we went to burn the granary, we were surrounded by soldiers. At that time, they shouted to kneel down to avoid death. There were many people, but I also fought with you until the end! I am not a coward!"

The middle-aged man nodded quickly and was about to die. Don't die with some regrets.

So he said to the young man: "I saw it that day, there are no cowards among us."

A month ago, the negotiations between the government of the capital of Feiguo and the nobles of the feudal capital outside the capital of Feiguo were completely broken down. The nobles refused to swear to recognize the laws of the capital. The nobles who stayed in the capital created a chaos and wanted to escape, but were captured by the people of the capital.

After trial, all the nobles trapped in the capital who created chaos and set fire to kill people in the capital who wanted to escape in the chaos were executed, and their land was announced to be nationalized, and the farmers on their fiefdoms were granted land according to their population.

Then an army of farmers and labours was formed. The nobles who announced that they would not go to the capital and swear to abide by the new laws were all deprived of their fiefs.

Shortly afterwards, the children of the Duke of Fei, who had inheritance, outside the capital, were killed. Then the nobles announced that they would defect to Qi and Wei, and no longer belonged to Fei, so they did not abide by the laws of Fei, which did not control them.

The descendants and families of the killed nobles raised troops one after another to besiege the capital on the grounds of personal grudges, but the people on the capital immediately organized a counterattack and defeated some of the nobles' private soldiers.

A large number of nobles retreated to Wucheng, hoping to use this city to wait for Qi and Wei's reinforcements.

After Wucheng was captured by the Mo family more than ten years ago, local people often listened to the Mo family's lectures, and many people supported the revolution that broke out in the Fei country.

There is support for your own interests.

There are also some small nobles and scholars who support them out of some romantic emotions and compassion.

Also, some people who are convinced that the Mohist ambition can use rationality to explain all things in the universe and simply recognize the changes in Fei's country in theory.

The nobles' private soldiers and their families gathered in Wucheng. On the one hand, they thought that Wucheng was the front line of Fei's country against Lu before it was captured by the Mo family more than ten years ago, and the city was strong. On the other hand, it was also backed by Lu, and it could escape if it failed.

After those nobles escaped in the capital while they were killed, their eyes were red, and everyone was carrying the blood feud of each other.

Although many nobles were killed in the capital, the victorious places outside the capital also deprived the nobles of their fiefs. The nobles also began to slaughter farmers who had some activities on their fiefs and who "rely on the power of the Mo family" and who had repeatedly failed to fulfill their feudal obligations and had the possibility of rebellion.

Blood rolls, and the head is surging.

Wucheng gathered a large number of nobles from the Federative Kingdom waiting for the arrival of the Qi State Interference Army. A large amount of food was collected here, forcing the people to continue to strengthen the city.

In this case, some people in the city who supported the laws of the capital of Federico spontaneously gathered together and prepared to burn the granaries of these nobles to make it difficult for them to defend.

But at the end of the matter, someone betrayed and the matter was leaked. More than 70 people conspired with him were asked by the nobles to fall into the trap. Dozens of them were killed, and the rest were arrested and sentenced to the punishment of splitting the car.

The young man who felt embarrassed, was not afraid of death, but his legs were shaking uncontrollably. He seemed to be afraid of death, and cried in grievance finally stood up with his own strength.

He wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand, covered in mud, and in a tender, just voice, some of the ducks who were chanting, he asked the middle-aged man who was about to pull him just now, "You said... will the people here remember everything we have done? Do you think we are warriors with the courage of gentlemen?"

In his own textbook, the Mohist school tampered with the story of Ximen Bao governing Ye, and ended with the sentence "If it is beneficial to all people, it would be unfaithful to the name of the person in front of others" to enhance Ximen Bao's lofty image within the Mohist school's moral system.

Righteousness is very important, just like Nie Zheng, who finally chose to help Prince Lian instead of Han Yan Zhongzi. After all, it was because of the old friend's rhetoric that made him subtly choose the righteousness when he was committing suicide, which was different from what he thought before.

But name is also very important, not everyone doesn’t care about the name before and after the body.

Especially these people and the people of Wucheng who spontaneously formed, they think they need to do, after all, it is to pass on through the ages, for the courage of a gentleman, and to die without complaints.

After all, no one wants to do much for the people, but when they die, they are called for a lifetime by the people. They think that if they are innocent, why would they be killed?

In that case, I will always feel unwilling and resentment in my heart.

They do not believe in those "righteousness", but they do not believe that the people have such "righteousness". If the Mo family's righteousness is inferior to the world, and the righteousness that is loyal to the throne and not in chaos is superior to the world, then they are a group of rebels, sinners, sinners, and rioters...

When the young man looked at it, he saw the silent people. No one said anything, no one sighed or cried for them, only endless silence.

Therefore, he is afraid, he is resentful, he hates, and he is worried.

Worried that his body would be trampled on by the people, when they mentioned their names in the future, they would be like Zhou Zhou of Shang and the people would despise him.

The middle-aged man understood the young people's worries and sighed: "The people will remember us. We are for the sake of the country of Fei to do policies that benefit the people, for the sake of the country of Fei to benefit the people, and for the sake of the country of Fei to have the benefits of the people, and for the sake of the country of Fei to die. This is the courage of a gentleman. Warriors must always be praised and remembered."

"Just like Nie Zheng, who assassinated Qin for the sake of stopping people's sacrifices on the banks of the Weishui River, is in line with the righteousness, how could the people forget such a warrior?"

The middle-aged man paused, a smile appeared on his lips, and said, "Besides, didn't Shi say that? The so-called Tangwu Revolution revolution is to impose the will of some people on another. This is righteousness. If the revolution is successful, our righteousness is the righteousness accepted by the people of the world. Our death is the death of a gentleman who died for the benefit of the people. Why are you afraid that others will not remember us? Why are you worried that others will think we are sinners who deserve it?"

He seemed unable to feel the wooden pole behind him, and laughed: "Don't forget that ten days ago, the Mohist giant Qin Huali announced that he would recognize the new king of Fei, recognize the new laws of Fei, and praise the laws of Fei for the benefit of the people, recognize the Prince Luan as Fei, and warn the princes not to interfere in the affairs of Fei, otherwise the Mohist family will carry out the non-aggressive alliance!"

"These people who are about to execute us are afraid. They cannot resist the rebel army in the capital. Even if Qi and Wei interfere, the Mo family will do their best. Since they say that they will fulfill the non-aggressive alliance, they will definitely do it!"
