Chapter 161: Execution of Injustice (1)
The news that ten thousand households were slaughtered was just four simple words such as the slaughter of the city.
Even though the scout looked astonished and sad, it was hard to tell the cry of thousands of women and infants among them.
Gong Zaoye's expression was relaxed before, and his emotions were shocked by the news at this moment, and he even forgot the change of expression.
The city massacre is common in times of the times, and it is even more common to force the migration of people.
But Gong Zaiye has been in the Mohist school for decades and has heard too many theories of love, benevolence, righteousness, and benefiting the world. In his heart, he has regarded the things that are accustomed to under this era as unusual.
After being stunned for a long time, Gong Zaoye realized that the Mo family was an alien in the world. He had been in the Mo family for too long and had forgotten what the world originally looked like.
After a long time, I waved my hand powerlessly, indicating that I had learned the news.
Sitting alone in the tent for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Wine comes!"
He hasn't been drunk for a long time. The last time he was drunk was the day when Nie Zheng assassinated Qin and died of his death reached Si Shang.
The wine on Si is very strong, and it is already white with hair and beard. After many years, I got drunk again.
The Mohist family has discipline, especially those who joined the Mohist family after the reorganization of the Mohist family in Shangqiu more than 20 years ago. Discipline must be followed first.
Gong Zaoye was once a hero in the world. When he was a hero, the Mo family had not yet been reorganized. Even though he came twenty years ago, as one of the seven enlightenment masters, he would not drink before the war in the military tent.
But today he missed his days as a hero. He held a sharp knife and asked who was injustice in the world?
Since the man who had been infuriated with sweat decades ago, who had been talking to him for a long time, he recognized the discipline of the Mo family, the righteousness of the Mo family's non-fighting and non-attacking. Since then, he no longer became a hero, but became a Mo master.
Today, he suddenly missed the time when he was a hero. If he was still in his prime decades ago, he had a long sword in his hand, and today he ordered the people who slaughtered the city to take their lives, he would have to drink hard in the downtown city. After the soldiers surrounded him died, the soldiers who had broken the sword floated away.
Even if you die, even if you can't do it, at least you will feel happy and leave no regrets.
Nowadays, what we do is getting bigger and bigger, but the pleasure we had lost decades ago.
After getting drunk, he grindled ink and wrote two letters.
The next morning, a messenger ran towards Pengcheng with a letter from the public who was a hero who had been a hero all night last night.
The messenger could not watch the content of the letter. The handwriting on the letter was extremely sloppy, with a drunken crazy attitude.
In addition to telling the news that Wucheng was slaughtered, the above only wrote a simple line of words, using a dragon and phoenix dance that seemed to be flying out of the paper.
"Please sign a decree for the punishment of the unjust, and anyone who orders to slaughter Wucheng can kill them in the name of the world!"
As a giant, he is the head of the Mo family, and he can issue an order to punish unjustly and call on Mo people all over the world. Of course, this requires permission from the Mo people's synonym and then the giant will issue it.
The Mohist school’s meaning is to “only harm without guilt”, but the order to punish unjust is not listed here.
The Mo family has been in so many years. The last time the giant issued an order to punish unjustly was when the Mo family had just settled in Peiyi and was poisoning and killing those witches.
At that time, those witches were considered "only harmless", because there was no law saying that harming the people and deceiving the people to sacrifice themselves with living people.
The Mohist school emphasizes the equal treatment of all people. If sacrifices to live people are a crime, then almost all the princes in the world need to be killed. Many princes still sacrificed their lives. The most barbaric Qin State even ordered that "the death should be stopped and the living people should be forbidden to sacrifice to Hebo after Nie Zheng assassinated Prince Qin and seized power."
That time, the Mo family used the order of punishment issued by the giant to kill Wu Zhu in the name of harming the world.
That happened twenty years ago, when the Mo family's giant was still Mo Di who had passed away.
At that time, the Mohist school discussed the scope of application of "only harming without guilt" and "punishment of unrighteous orders". Since then, the giants of the Mohist school have the right to issue two kinds of giant orders as giants after being voted by the Mohist school synonymous association.
One is the "special amnesty order", which is applicable to the family law of the Mohist school, the so-called "pardonation of punishment but not forgiveness of sins". The special amnesty order exempts the internal punishment of the Mohist school, but does not forgive the person's guilt.
Another type is the "Punishment of Unrighteous Order", which applies to the world. Once this order is released, all the people in the world will be enemies with the person wanted by the order, and they will either assassinate or plot to take their heads, and "sent this person to death in the name of benefiting the world."
This requires the proposal of the giant, and it is voted by the synonym, and it can be passed as long as more than half of it does not object.
The rules were established twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, the Mo family did not use them once. When the Chu prince decided to flee to Zheng State, some people also cared about the people of the world and thought that the Chu prince must flee to Zheng State Jing Chu, and that thousands of people would suffer. It would be better to kill one person to benefit the people of Chu.
Even so, the order to punish the unjust was still not issued.
Now, after being drunk, the public man's crazy attitude is revealed, and it is directly recommended to use the "unrighteous order" that has not been used for twenty years. This matter will shock the world.
…………
A few days later, Pingyin City Head.
On the ruins of the city walls and troughs, Shi watched the soldiers of the righteous army stepping over these ruins, and received a letter from the messenger from Feiguo. The signature was a publicly-made letter.
The emergence of gunpowder changed the pattern of war, not only field battles, but also attacked and defended cities.
The old-style city walls were difficult to block the bombardment of gunpowder, especially after the Mohist school formed a special engineer for digging pits and burying explosives. Even the new city defense that used geometry and Mozi's "walk" was difficult to defend.
Now the Mo family has already set up eighteen cities, almost all of which are not bloodless, but Pingyin has squandered some kung fu.
This is an important border town of the Qi Great Wall, and a large number of nobles along the Ji River fled to defend their lives.
After concentrating his troops and waiting for the feint attack on Chengyang, the heavy copper cannon that was not suitable for field battle arrived, he took two days to capture Pingyin City, and more than one day was left for the engineers to dig holes.
Ten thousand Qi troops were destroyed, more than 200 nobles died in the city, more than 400 nobles were captured, and more than 300 were captured among the captured people and more than 300 people. This was all due to Tian Chang's guests entering and leaving the harem.
The breaking of Pingyin means that the defense line of Qi collapsed. The only Linzi Legion that could fight was still in Lu. Jiaodong and Ju Legion were trampled by the Mo family and did not dare to move around.
After passing the Great Wall, you can go straight to Linzi. More than 20 years ago, the Three Jins attacked Qi and conquered Qi after they broke through Pingyin and asked for peace. The Duke of Qi tied himself up to admit his mistake and asked to be named the Duke of Jin.
The current situation is no less than that of the past. Although there were the Niu Zi and Gongsun Hui Rebellion, there was also the Nanji River War today. Except for the Linzi Legion Qi State, there was no longer the power to resist the Mo family.
At this time, it was not the setting sun, because the attack began to be launched, and the siege was over at noon. With the collapse of the city wall and the fall of the city gate, the organizational force of Qi State was unable to organize street fighting at all, and Pingyin was taken down in one go.
Moreover, if you wait until the evening, you will be afraid that you will order to attack again tomorrow, and it is not convenient to enter the city at night.
A few days ago, he had heard about the slaughter of Wucheng.
I received a letter from Gong Zaoye today, which is probably related to this matter.
The smoke of gunpowder still has a lingering smell, and the letters are opened and they skipped by hastily, and they can't help but sigh.
The letter from Public Chuangye was as simple as his usual words. He did not introduce much about the slaughter of Wucheng, but directly said some tingling words.
"suitable."
"You have said that the dispute between Tian Tan and Tian Wu of Qi State, I believe in your inference about the situation. In this battle, there will be a dispute between Qi Tian Tan and Tian Wu."
"I heard that you won a great victory in the Nanji River, as expected. If one day you send a letter to Si, saying that you killed Tian Qing and captured Tian Wu, I would not be surprised, so it would be natural."
"You do things, and you will be in ten or twenty years. When you do things, you will not look at the moment, and you will not show off your heroic courage. You are calm and calm, and calm. I always think that you don't love this world at all. But every time you end up, maybe five or ten years later, I will understand."
"If you object to your work, you always like to say, 'Keep this to save evidence and read it later'. After repeated recurrence, no one among the Mo people opposes your opinion. Even if there is doubt in your heart, the previous things have naturally made them feel that they are not considerate enough and long-term."
"I know, if you really capture Tian Wu, the best way is to release Tian Wu and let Tian Tan Tian Wu fight together, so that the Mo family can benefit the world in the future."
"If it were the past, I would agree."
"Today, Wucheng was slaughtered."
"If you capture Tian Qingtian Wu and release it, I will object."
There is no righteousness or reason in it. It is not like a communication letter between the Imperials, but more like a private message from a hero and a friend.
Gong Zaoye didn't say much, but just wrote a sentence at the end of the letter that I disagree with, and then his signature name and date, and nothing else.
The messengers who delivered the letter had no other words.
As I looked at the letter for a long time, and at the end of the letter, the words he must object, which seemed indifferent and powerless, I suddenly felt that the letter was extremely heavy.
Gong Zaoye understood his thoughts, and his thoughts were also circulated with the top leaders of the Mozhe.
In history, Tian Wu killed his brother and took office. After Tian He's death, the dispute within the Tian clan that lasted for decades finally came to an end.
Tian Wu killed his brother and took office, which also laid the foundation for his son, King Qi Wei's centralized reform.
The relationship between Tian Tan and Tian Wu is somewhat similar to the relationship between Zhao's Prince Zhang and Gongzi Chao, but the Zhao family won the "Tian Tan" of Zhao, while Qi's "Zhao Chao" of Qi.
The letter from public creation is actually very heartbreaking.
Shi, however, could understand the anger of Gong Zaoye when writing this letter.
So he chose a relatively flat piece of city wall with the smell of sulfur from gunpowder. He walked into the city side by side with the army, and asked the messengers to bring brushes and paper.
After spreading the paper, I didn’t write too much of the righteousness, and I wrote a reply in a tone like a private relationship.
"Brother."
"The Mohist family benefited the world."
"Snatching the world is nothing more than a means, not an end."
"To benefit the world, we must change customs and customs, reverse the world, and reshape the meaning of the world."
"If I release Tian Wu for the Mo family to seize the world, then I will reverse the purpose and means."
"At that time, what's the difference between my Mohist family and those unrighteous monarchs who are promising unrighteous soldiers for the whole world?"
"Mo should benefit the world. Benefiting the world is the goal, and the world is just a means."
"And I am the Immortal."
