The young man didn't know if he really believed it, or because he had no other choice but to believe it, he nodded heavily.

It is not only for the middle-aged man, but also for yourself to let go of those uneasiness.

Yes, the Mohist school has already recognized the change of the king of Fei and will fulfill the non-aggressive alliance. It has reached this point. Even if Qi interferes, what can it do?

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the silent crowd.

It was like seeing off, but I didn't know who it was, so I sprinkled a can of strong wine on the more than a dozen people who were bound and detained.

The middle-aged man stuck out his tongue and licked the wine falling from his mouth. The spicy and slightly bitter feeling spread on the tip of his tongue. Then he said in a very small voice that only he could hear: "This is made of sweet potato, it is a bit bitter, not as good as corn."

Then, a loud noise erupted from the crowd.

Dozens, hundreds, or thousands of voices shouted at the same time: "Gentleman! Go!"

The middle-aged man who had licked the wine squeezed a smile at the crowd. The young man with his legs trembling in front seemed to be powered by the sound of farewell, and his legs stopped trembling.

A gentleman...

This is a good title.

This is the name of praise.

Twenty years ago, when people mentioned gentlemen in Wucheng, the first thing that comes to mind was Zengzi.

Fifty years ago, Zeng Zi, who was critically ill, sat up in shock while dying because he thought that the mat was covered by himself, which could only be enjoyed by a doctor.

I am not a doctor. If I continue to lay such a mat, it would be contrary to the "Rites", it would be a stain in life, and I will no longer be a gentleman.

So Zengzi, who was seriously ill and dying, asked someone to remove the mat under him and said that he was not a doctor and had not died in the position of a doctor, so he could not lay a warm mat that a doctor could only use.

Zengzi died of illness later, and this incident was reported. In this city where Confucianism is popular, everyone thinks that Zengzi is a gentleman, and a gentleman is a person like Zengzi.

Until the Battle of the Shui.

After the battle of the Hanshui River broke the city, the Mohist activities in Wucheng increased. The Mohist relied on paper and printing to master public opinion and rely on the "benefiting the people" to benefit the people. Every little thing, many, iron tools and ox plowing and good breeding crops, all of which were in line with the Mohist propaganda.

Today, people finally shouted "Gentleman" to these people who were about to be broken by the car.

Before the Mohist school could shout out such shocking words as "After the Thieves Zhuang Zhuang's reputation, King Chen rose up and waved the yellow axe", and the bold words of overthrowing the world.

It’s not because Zhuang Jie has not yet established himself and that Chen Wangyuan has not been born. He wants to find someone else to replace him, but because the timing does not allow it.

Perhaps looking at the world, the Mohist family's righteousness is still vulgar after all. The gentleman in the Mohist family's eyes may not be the gentleman in the mainstream eyes of the world, but at least in Wucheng, the people recognized the Mohist definition of "gentleman" and drove away the original definition of "gentleman" in more than ten years.

The word "gentleman" is still written like this, but the meaning behind the gentleman is no longer different.

For example, heroes, the heroes in Mohist vocabulary are not the same as the so-called heroes in the world today.

For example, benevolence and righteousness, the benevolence and righteousness in the Mohist vocabulary are not the same as the so-called benevolence and righteousness in the world.

What the Mohist school wants to do is not to fight for dominance of the world, but to change customs and reshape good and evil right and wrong. Compared with this, it is a very small and small thing. The small battle for dominance of the world is just a means but definitely not an end.

Once upon a time, a gentleman was a synonym for noble princes, which was determined by bloodline.

If you are not a noble, you will have no help from a gentleman.

A hundred years ago, Confucius started a private school, and a gentleman was no longer bound to his bloodline and became a perfect scholar with spiritual sublimation.

Focusing on "benevolence" and "ritual", Zeng Zi replaced the warm mat that was outrageous before his death, and this is a gentleman.

More than ten years ago, the Mohist school rose in Si Shang, and the definition of a gentleman changed again.

Revolving around "righteousness" and "profit", the various stories in the textbooks written are true or false: Shennong, who tasted hundreds of herbs for the benefit of the people, was a gentleman; Nie Zheng, who sacrificed life to the people of Qin, was a gentleman; Cao Mo, who robbed Qi Huan and saved tens of thousands of soldiers in Qilu, was a gentleman; Dayu, who practiced water conservancy to benefit the people, was a gentleman...

Even those nameless people who have been teaching and educating people in the village community for several years are gentlemen; those who have taught the art of farming in the village community can fill the people with their worries; those who have studied the secrets of heaven and earth are gentlemen...

A gentleman still writes that way, but he is no longer the same gentleman.

Now the people shouted "A gentleman" and those who were bound to die were laughing.

To middle-aged people, that was the clarion call for victory: the Mo family’s wish was to change customs and customs in the world, and the Mo family’s righteousness was to the world. War and violence were ultimately for righteousness and profit. Now that righteousness has reached Wucheng, what can we do if the Qi and Wei army come?

To the young man, that was a relief before his death: everything he did was not wrong, not only did he think it was not wrong, but the people of Wucheng did not think it was wrong, but he died as if he was in the right place!

The people's calls became increasingly fierce, and the weapons-carried private soldiers drove the people hard, keeping the road to the streets accessible.

The nobles in the distance were trembling, as if the young birds born in spring heard the thunder for the first time.

But the thunder did not turn into a heavy rain after all.

A dozen people were pulled to the center of the street, and the executioner pulled the rope towards the middle-aged man. A nobleman stood up and told some of the "crimes" of these people. The middle-aged man seemed to have not heard those words, and there was still a smile on his lips.

When the nobleman's last nagging without any strength ended, the middle-aged man stretched his head to the lasso that was about to pull his head off with a carriage, and then looked at the nobleman not far away with a smile.

When his hands and feet were tied up separately, the middle-aged man suddenly asked, "Hey, do you know? Si Shang negotiated the political and legal laws, and just banned the lucky ones, the car cracked, the halved and the corporal punishment, but the death penalty was not banned."

In just a simple sentence, the nobles who fled from all over the place to Wucheng trembled all over, but the middle-aged people no longer paid attention to these people, but shouted at the onlookers: "People..."

When he had just shouted three words, the nobles in the distance jumped up immediately and shouted in an extremely nervous and anxious voice: "Execution! Execution! Don't let him shout out! Don't let him bewitch the bitch!"

The tough horse whip hard on the horse's back, and with several neighs, the middle-aged man's body was divided into five pieces.

The young people who had been shaking their legs before looked at the cracked middle-aged people and the wriggling internal organs on the ground, turned around and bent down at the people and said, "My legs were shaking just now, not afraid, this is not. I don't know why they tremble. Don't think I'm afraid of death!"

Then he grabbed the person in front, put his head into the lasso and closed his eyes...

…………

After the execution, the nobles gathered with worry.

"The people are not available, and the martial city may be difficult to defend."

"The Mohist school has spoken out, and Qin Huali announced that the Mohist school recognizes the politics of Prince Luan and wants to carry out the non-aggressive alliance."

Someone also said: "The Duke of Qi has decided to send troops, and the Duke of Wei also said that he would dispatch military soldiers... Although the Wei people have not moved, the people of Qi have moved!"

"Now you have seen it, this matter is no longer resolved. If you and I have no fiefs according to the new policy, what is the difference between you and the common people? It is better to fight to the death."

"If the people of Qi come, they will return to Qi. As long as they protect our fiefdoms, they will return to Wei. As long as they protect our fiefdoms."

"Wucheng cannot be abandoned. If you abandon Wucheng, you and I will have no soldiers and flee alone. Even if Qi and Wei send troops, why do you and I have a fiefdom?"

"The decisive battle in the wild is hard to defeat those mobs. I can only use the method of co-sitting to trap Wucheng and wait for the help of the people of Qi."

"The Duke of Qi ordered the doctor of Liang to come and go to the night, and there were 20,000 peasant soldiers, and he would arrive soon."

"Wei Chengyang's army is not long ago. The Qi army is gathering in Linzi, with thousands of soldiers and thousands of warriors."

"Even though the Mo family is strong, it cannot fight against Qi and Wei coalition! As long as you defend Wucheng, it will be like Gongsun Hui who guarded Linqiu and defended Linqiu. Only then can he join Jin as the official of Linqiu and still be granted Linqiu."

"You can't defend Wucheng, you and I have no soldiers or land, and you are as anxious as a dog that has lost its family. At that time, Qi and Wei will take back the city. Can you still enfeoff your and me?"

The nobles also knew that there was no other way than to defend themselves. Moreover, the matter now is to die. If the martial city is destroyed, they will all die.

Today's execution was originally intended to be a demonstration to the people, so that the people would not dare to act lightly, but they did not expect that although the people did not dare to hijack the court, they shouted that those people were gentlemen.

Relying on these people to defend the city spontaneously?

If it was really a large army, I was afraid that these people who did not dare to hijack the car and execute the execution today would have courage to see the gathering of troops under the city. It is unknown if they opened the city gate.

When the battle of Wucheng, the Mo family's speed of breaking the city was shocked by the world. Now they can only strengthen the city walls and think they are defending the city.

The Mo family has not sent troops now because they are just carrying out non-attack alliances. However, once the Qi people send troops, they will inevitably send troops with the consistent image of the Mo family's words.

Fortunately, the Mo family, who is good at siege, has not yet sent troops, and there are few bronze cannons in the capital of Feiguo, so they can only siege the city. At that time, the Qi people will be able to defend it.

When the army arrived, the coalition forces of Qi, Wei and Han may not be no match for the Mo family.

"May be able to defend!May be able to defend..."

Just like self-comfort, these nobles murmured to themselves.

Although if Wucheng is not defended, they may lose their fiefdom, but if they really can't defend, they can still escape from Qi and Wei, and there is always a way out.

…………

Pengcheng.

The law-making conference that lasted for a long time is still underway, but today Pengcheng is holding a grand rally, which is about supporting the changes of the country and recognizing the country's new laws and policies.

The organized people gathered near the group of iron smelting workshops emitting thick smoke. Young people kept climbing up the platform and loudly talked about their understanding of the change in Fei Country. Many retired young people hoped to re-enlist to join the army to fight against possible interference from the unjust country.

After the intense public opinion, it was the confidence of the Mohist senior executives. They did not issue a re-recruitment order, and even policies such as food control were not introduced.

Everything is as old as before.

Because the Mohist family has received the exact news.

The battle to restore the country to Zhongshan has begun. Wei sent troops to Zhao and Zhao were about to siege Handan. Chu was practicing and advancing in Chen, and divided his troops to capture Yu Pass again...

It is precisely because of these exact news that Qin Huali announced more than ten days ago that the Mohist recognition that Gongzi Luan's rule in the upper throne is in line with "righteousness".

Wei State is now pretending to be a tiger's power, and it is utilizing the prestige of the Wenhou era. Qi State still believes that Wei State can maintain a four-line war.

However, after collective discussion and analysis, the Mohist family determined that the Wei State was now in a state of gold and jade, and they had no ability to interfere with Qi State.

A mere Qi State does not need to mobilize in general.

He has not been wearing military uniform for a long time. Now he is wearing military uniform. He has been collectively decided to be the commander of the Western Front to fight back against Qi and Wei interference. The person in charge of preventing the chaos that may occur in Qi along the East China Sea and the migration of Vietnam on the southward line on the east side is Gong Zaoye.

Today we have to set out first and go to Tengcheng where the charity masters have gathered.

Now that communication methods are behind, we must go to the front line in person.

When Qin Huali and others saw him off, Qin Huali said: "The number of winners and losers is inevitable. There is only a big victory and a small victory."

"If only defeating the Qi army, the troops are coming to the Great Wall, and the Qi people stop the troops, it will be just a small victory."

"If you win, you will let the young brigade commanders, division commanders, and the staff around you, those children who have not fought wars for many years but have studied in military academy."
