Chapter 211 In the eyes of the fleeing soldiers (3)
The Qi army, which Mingjin took down the troops, failed this wave of attack, and they had to continue to regain their troops.
Nearly two thousand people tried to attack, without the support of artillery, and relying on the pestle, shield, short sword, spear, and using the siege that was outdated twenty years ago, attacking the city defense that was most suitable for the era of inferior black gunpowder. The consequences can be imagined.
As the wailing sounded everywhere, I wonder how many people pretended to be dead and lie within three hundred steps of death.
Sima Chang, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, listened to the miserable voices of Qi and sighed: "The world is probably going to change. This was not the case when fighting twenty years ago."
"At that time, when we followed the noble man and his chariot, we didn't care where the enemy was. We just ran over with the chariot. If we were far away, we didn't want to be the same now. We didn't know where the enemy was. We were hit by the iron bullets that fell from the place after three or four hundred steps."
In fact, the world has changed, otherwise the war would not be like this at this time. However, the so-called world of Sima Chang of Qi's army did not mean this.
The Qi Zhu also said, "It depends on this. If you want to conquer Yingyi, you will have to die."
Sima Chang smiled disdainfully and said, "Capture? Where can I attack? You and I don't want to die and go home. Are others afraid of death and not want to go home? To this day, there is nothing to fight. We are just dying for Gongziwu. If we don't die and do not defeat the Mo family, he will die."
After a brief description of this simple truth, the people around him suddenly made waves of oh-oh sounds of enlightenment.
Such a simple truth can be understood by these soldiers who have lived in villages since childhood, and no matter how difficult the truth is, it is not necessary.
But not all of these people who pretend to be dead are only used to interpret their own peaceful behavior of pretending to be dead.
For example, there was a man pretending to be dead on the other side of hundreds of steps away, but he was only by himself and had no other companions.
Occasionally when the cannon sounds, he will quietly look up at the movements in the distance and say sadly: "The Master said that all things in the world are of value for life. If it is beneficial to life, it will do things, and if it is harmful to life, it will stop. If everyone in the world values oneself and life, how can there be such wars?"
"The Master learned from Yang Zi and Yang Zi's learning to be the truth. It is a pity that the Mohist school thought that they could use some rationality to draw the most reasonable world and make the world wars, which is ridiculous."
After the man who pretended to be dead, he shook his head and looked back at the Qi army that was organizing the second wave of attacks, cursing: "For the benefit of one person, the life of thousands of people is the journey of Jie and Zhou! Isn't the Tian family destroyed?"
Since it is "Nothing more than life in the world is to be born, and if it is beneficial to life, it will do things, and if it is harmful to life, it will stop", then pretending to be dead on the battlefield is naturally a sense of peace.
Linzi was prosperous and prosperous in culture. In addition to the spread of the Mohist theories in Linzi, Yang Zhu's theories were also popular in Linzi.
At this time, the world was in the world, the five virtues of Huang Lao and the response of heaven and man had not yet been integrated with Confucianism. After Confucius passed away, Confucianism declined, or it was completely difficult to integrate with the development of productivity, and the era of disputes between princes.
Decades later, Meng Ke once said that the world's learning did not belong to Yang, so it belonged to Mo.
Later, some people commented: Yang was scattered but was illegal, Mo was frugal but abandoned rituals. In ancient times, Yang, Mo was scattered, and Mencius refused to quit...
All they are talking about is the fact that Yang and Mo families became prominent scholars in the world, forcing Confucianism to refute it.
Especially with the repeated public debates between the Mohist school and the Yang Zhu School, the number of believers in the Yang Zhu School has increased, and of course, there are more than the number of Mohist school.
Because of this chaotic era, the development of productivity, and the suppression of hundreds of years of etiquette and law, there was finally a huge rebound. When the dawn of human beings first appeared, there would inevitably be too many extremes.
Selfishness, self-interest, self-reality, and life are also a way to fight against feudal etiquette. Just as the Renaissance in later generations in Europe, it also opened the dawn of fighting against dark feudal etiquette morality from extreme sensuality, sexuality, selfishness, and greed.
The conflict between Yang Mo is very deep, not a difference between being invincible and benefiting the world. It is fundamentally dependent on thinking about the world.
The Mohist school believes that rationality can know the will of heaven, and rationality can infer the systems and laws that are most suitable for the people of the world.
Yang Zhu believed that even a rational world was terrible and could not be beautiful.
This theory is derived from Taoism's Taoism, which is natural. Yang Zhu said, "If a wife does not lose a single piece of money, there will be no Yao and Shun. If everyone is not beneficial to the world, there will be no Jie and Zhou; if there is no Jie and Zhou, there will be no chaos at that time; if there is no Yao and Shun, there will be no harm in the future."
In other words, don’t think about benefiting the world, because as long as you do it, even if the original intention is good, as long as you do it, it will cause harm and chaos.
It is impossible for people to know the will of heaven, nor can they rationally deduce what the most suitable world looks like, so the emergence of the country was a mistake from the beginning.
Yao and Shun combined the world into one in order to benefit the world, changing the original situation of "Tao follows nature" and "small country but few people" in the world. What was the result? As a result, the emergence of Jie and Zhou led to the emergence of Jie and Zhou.
Without Jie and Zhou, there would be no suffering in the world, but the root of suffering in the world can be traced back to the Yao and Shun era that changed the state of "Tao follows nature", causing the emergence of the country.
The Mohist school believed that the country must exist, at least at this time, and as long as the most reasonable system is deduced with rationality, the existence of the country can make the world prosperous.
This is the most essential difference between Yang Zhu and the Mo family, and it is also the fundamental reason for the unremitting debate:
Yang Zhu believes that everyone is self-interested, my property belongs to me, my house belongs to me, wind can enter, rain can enter, kings and princes cannot enter, and don’t think about the excuse of taking away my property for the benefit of the country, and then the world will be prosperous.
If the nobles don’t take away my property and I don’t take other people’s things, how can the world be poor?
Everyone values oneself and everyone values life. If I don’t go to war, I will say that “the righteousness does not enter the military”, so how can there be war in the world?
Your Mohist family said today that in order to benefit the world, the country can continue to exist, and they can force people to serve and use taxes to take away other people's property. When one day your Mohist family is gone, no one will mention the benefits of the world, but the habit of forcing people to serve and use taxes to take away other people's property has not disappeared, so what you do cannot benefit the world.
However, the Mohist school believes that today we force people to serve and use taxes to collect other people's property is to better benefit the world. We reasonably infer that our approach is the most "utilitarian" and the most efficient and optimal solution. Although the idea of your Yang Zhu School sounds very good - the basis of the Mohist theory of love is to love oneself, and love oneself is just the highest form of loving oneself and the most efficient optimal solution under rational inference - the purpose is not contradictory, but there are too many differences in the process.
Yang Zhu believes that it should be done in one step and the existence of the country should be directly abolished, and any authoritarian existence, including the reason for benefiting the world, to force service and taxation, should not be done.
The Mohist school believes that the existence of the country cannot be abolished now. Authoritarianism not only needs to exist but also needs to be more powerful and centralized, otherwise it will not benefit the world.
This is a very interesting reality. Confucianism is declining, the world is about to be in chaos, productivity is improved, and human nature is awakened. It is inevitable that Yang Zhu and Mo families must take two paths. At least in terms of reason, they can only choose one of them, which leads to the situation where "the words of the world do not belong to Yang, that is, they belong to Mo".
This is a very good future.
If the world's words belong to Yang Zhu, then it will start the Renaissance of "rituals collapse and music are broken", "moral decay", "full of carnal desire", "release against extreme depression with extreme nature", release greed, desire, selfishness, selfishness, survival, profit, and wealth, and the desire for gold transcends the original morality... Everyone is like this, and everyone is a natural enemy of "ritual". This released desire and human nature will spontaneously unite the people of the world, smash the feudal "ritual" to pieces, and then start to think about the relationship between morality and rationality after the excessive pursuit of individual freedom under the human nature.
What the Mohist school needs to do is to use rational inference to the point that today, etiquette is no longer applicable. It is necessary to use rational inference and material basis to create new moral standards. If this moral standard is unsustainable without material support, it is necessary to use the three words "benefiting the world" to allow people in the world to rely on spontaneous and consciousness and natural hostility towards etiquette after the release of human nature, but to rely on the leadership of these etiquette teams such as the etiquette teams of the Mohist to smash the rules and regulations of the past and create a new world.
The former may take hundreds or thousands of years of natural evolution, but the latter may only take decades, especially in the reality that the material foundation is constantly following up.
Under this disagreement, the "escaper" who had learned some of the Yang Zhu School of Science and Technology in the city only hated the Mohist school, but did not hate it.
He was full of hatred for the nobles behind him who forced him to go to war.
Everyone has different righteousness, and Yang Zhu's righteousness is a noble life, so the escaped soldiers are at ease and will not feel ashamed at all.
The principles he used for his peace of mind were different from those who escaped hundreds of steps away, but the effect was the same.
During the market debate outside the battlefield, his master was blushing with the Mohist people, wishing he could fight with each other with a sword to justify his righteousness.
In the battle of life and death on the battlefield, he just sighed that the Mo family's righteousness may not be right, but he was also full of hatred for the Mo family's enemies.
The enemy may not necessarily be friends, but sometimes it is more reliable than the enemy. Although the escaped soldiers of the Yang Zhu School were talking about the wrong principles of the Mo family, they still urgently hoped that the Mo family would win this battle soon.
Although the Mo family did not have the ultimate noble life, he still knew that the saying that being born with human beings and living was the power of the Heavenly Emperor, which led to the Mo family not killing innocent prisoners.
He agreed with the Mohist saying that "life is the power of the heavenly emperor to give to people", but he hated the Mohist use of forced service and conquest to force people to recognize the behavior of "life is the power of the heavenly emperor to give to people".
Because this itself violates the essence of "life is the power given by the Emperor of Heaven": the Emperor of Heaven can take away life, but the Mo family is not the Emperor of Heaven, so they have no right to force service and war on this reason, because service and war may die, which is not in line with the meaning of life and will only backfire.
He felt that this was just like the Mohist saying that our Mohist family wanted to make no hitting people in the world. We hate hitting people the most. Then they pressed their fists to hit people who liked to hit people and stopped hitting people. This makes no sense.
