Chapter 27 Preemption (Part 2)
In terms of profit and disadvantage, it is not just a place in Song State, but only a place in Song State, taking advantage of others will only benefit but not harm.
Several people talked about some disadvantages. After recording them one by one, the person in charge asked, "That's the disadvantages, and the advantages."
There are pros and cons, and there are many advantages.
The excited Mohist who had just opposed compromise and forbearance said: "If you talk about profit, the first thing is whether we can succeed if we take the initiative?"
"If you can succeed, you can naturally talk about profit. If you cannot succeed and fail, you will have no profit at all."
"I still say the same thing, we are living and dead with the old nobles. Because in our paradise, everyone is equal, and there are no nobles; in the paradise of aristocrats, there is a difference between high and low, and there is no equality. This is like a relationship between right and wrong, and there can only be one of the two."
"It's not that we compromise and forbearance so much, that they will respect us. Now the princes of various countries are more afraid of us than respect and trust. They dare not touch us now. It's not that we endure, but that the battle in the Central Plains five years ago made the nobles scared."
"So, the same is true for Song State."
"If it is done, it will be earth-shaking. The princes of various countries may fear us. At least we dare not kill all our comrades who are operating in the capitals of various countries. We dare not say that this is necessary, but at least there is this possibility."
"But if I endure it, the princes of all countries will feel that... we don't even care about Song State and give up in order not to fight. Then, when we deal with us elsewhere, we will at most protest and oppose, which will encourage our minds to deal with us."
"The war law of the Heze Alliance four years ago was followed by the princes of various countries, not because we convinced them, but because we shot and executed Princes and Master Qi Wu. The princes and nobles of various countries must consider what if they were caught and executed by us."
"If someone thinks that it is because of the reasoning and reasoning that the nobles believe that not killing is righteous, that would be ridiculous."
There were several people who supported the preemptive move, and after hearing this person's words, they all nodded.
Four years ago, around the Heze Alliance, the Mohist family in Si Shang said many extraordinary words. Even the envoys who came to the title of Emperor Zhou were disdainful of contact and flatly refused to be granted the title of marquis.
If this were in the Spring and Autumn Period, it would be at least a crime that the King of Chu had won, and all countries would send troops to intervene to maintain the old system.
The State of Chu could have won the title, called itself a barbarian view of China's politics, or called itself a king, but in the end it was still a matter of speaking on the battlefield.
Four years ago, the Heze League was held, and the princes of various countries only scolded a little verbally, but did not make too many moves.
There is nothing else, just because the fisherman on Si Shang gained benefits and suffered the least damage, and no countries dared to continue to fight.
The same is true when it comes to Song State.
If the people were taken preemptively in the Song State, it might lead to the slaughter of the princes of various countries who were engaged in open activities, but there is also a possibility that the gift would be given out of the country.
This dialectical consideration is that the more fierce the one here, the more polite the other; the more forbearing the other, the more fierce the other.
The differences with the old nobles are really a life-and-death battle. As this man said, there is no aristocrat in the world planned by the Mo family; there is no equal position in the world planned by the nobles.
A great war is inevitable. This is something that the Heze Alliance had already made clear four years ago. It was clearly stated from the moment when the Mohist school never mentioned non-attack and formulated the law of war.
Some things need not be said too clearly and straightforwardly.
The change in the propaganda slogan from "non-attack" to "the whole world is for profit, and the solution to non-attack is to love both sides. The premise of love both sides is to eliminate the difference between the people of Qi, Lu, Yue and Jin". It is understandable.
The reason why the fight has not started now is because all countries, including Sikami, feel that time is on their side, and the more they drag it down, the more they are seeking reform and centralization.
The geographical location of Song State determines that Song State is not Fei State. Once something happens to Song State, the entire Central Plains will have to react.
The State of Song decided the most important pathway for the Three Jins to move south; the most convenient pathway for the State of Chu to move north; and also determined the security around Si Shang and the access to the Central Plains.
A single hair moves the whole body.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the person in charge said, "Since you say that you can only talk about the pros and cons, then now, without considering the sending of troops from Si Shang, how big is it possible for us to win?"
The Mo man who supported the preemptive action said confidently: "70%, at least."
"We have a lot of people in Shangqiu, and we can organize at least four companies of soldiers at any time."
"The private soldiers of the Emperor's Father's clan are still far from Shangqiu. In two days, we can control the situation in Shangqiu."
"When Shangqiu is obtained, the Dai clan is already quite popular with the people. Moreover, after the coup twenty years ago, the people have been armed, so-called non-attack and defense city."
"Once the situation in Shangqiu is controlled, we can arm at least 30,000 soldiers. Although there are no cavalry, we have an advantage in artillery."
"I am not afraid of the battle in the field. The decisive battle under Shangqiu City may not be lost to the emperor's clan."
"Even if we don't have a decisive battle, we will stick to Shangqiu and the emperor's father Yue Ling will not be able to conquer it. At that time, whether the Si Shang will send troops is on our side."
"After the expansion of the army, the three divisions were in Sishui to prevent changes in the State of Song. Six fingers were the commander, and they could control the situation in Song with lightning speed."
"But it is difficult for Wei and Chu and other countries to send troops."
"One of the matter, whether Wei sends troops or not, we need to consider the attitudes of Qin and Han."
"The second is that in Chen Cai and other places, the King of Chu centralized power and reformed, and there was no real power in the vassal state. If the State of Chu wanted to send troops, it had to go through the permission of the King of Chu, instead of having a vassal prince private soldiers and county officials could directly use county soldiers to go out to fight first, and force the King of Chu to declare war."
"There is no troops sent by the Si Shangqiu incident. The incident of Shangqiu is the Dai family rebellion mentioned by the emperor's clan."
"If all countries send troops in the name of the Dai Rebellion, they will definitely not dare to touch our comrades who are operating in various countries. If they dare to touch our people, then they will not interfere in the State of Song, but start a war against Si Shang. If we start a war against Si Shang, we can attack the Hedong land of Wei, and Chen and Cai land of Chu, and they are afraid they will also consider it."
"So, as long as we can accomplish things, there is a lot of room for maneuver. The central side of Si Shang will naturally respond."
"But if we directly compromise and endure, then we lose our initiative, will we give up on Songdi?"
"If we don't give up the Song land, then we will be in the army without... without the old name. We will launch a war in the name of benefiting the world and harming the world, which means we will declare war completely with the countries. As long as we can succeed, we can also send troops in the name of assisting the Dai family."
This person is very confident about what he said, and the reason for this confidence is that Shangqiu is the base camp of the Mo family outside Si Shang, which is where the Mo family started.
Twenty years ago, there were actions of installing various Mozhe soldiers in the wooden utensil factory, and now this is even more so. The Mohist power in Shangqiu is far from what the emperor's father Yue Ling could have imagined.
Control over the grassroots level is a paradox. If the emperor's father Yue Ling could centralize power, control his thoughts and speech, control Mohist activities, and accurately grasp the various situations in Shangqiu, he would not have even solved the decentralized aristocrats.
In these days, no one can centralize power just by thinking about centralization. In the original history, the Chu State wanted to centralize power since Wu Qi fled to Chu State, but it has not been integrated for more than a hundred years.
Although the emperor's father Yue Ling was talented, he was a person from the old era after all. The situation in Shangqiu City was what he learned. The aristocratic ruling technique he inherited from the family had never faced with the great changes. He vaguely felt the changes of the times, but he was still far from summarizing the new ruling technique.
The situation in Shangqiu City is far more complicated than the emperor's clan thought.
Mills, wooden workshops, and large ironwork workshops, there are many soldiers who have retired from their establishment. They are often rotated and seem to serve the people on weekdays, but once they need it, they can be restored directly together with officers and the like.
He thought that those landless farmers were influenced by the Mohist remarks, but were actually truly equal farmer families. The moral thinking between the two sides actually had huge differences.
He thought that after their private soldiers came, local self-cultivators and industrialists were like scammers who died in the old battlefield. In fact, the organized Mo people inside were both uncrowned hidden grassroots regimes and could be converted into military organizations at any time.
In addition, the Mohist family has been active in Shangqiu for too long, and the people are very recognized and have a high reputation. After the coup in Shangqiu twenty years ago, the people have been strong and often participated in military training to defend the city.
Although it is not as good as those full-time soldiers, its organizational strength is still much stronger than that of ordinary peasant soldiers.
Not counting the private soldiers controlled by the Emperor's father Yue Ling, it can be said that the Emperor's father Yue Ling's power in Shangqiu City is not very powerful. As long as those organized private soldiers succeed in taking the initiative before arriving in Shangqiu, these private soldiers will be trapped under Shangqiu City.
The people of Shangqiu lacked regular cavalry, but there was no shortage of infantry, and they could soon bring up a Chinese righteous division of tens of thousands of people.
The possibility of success in Shangqiu is extremely high, which gives us the qualification to discuss the pros and cons.
As for what happened later, the entire world needs to bear the consequences, but the consequences themselves have to be borne, and they have to bear them sooner or later, perhaps just in advance.
Besides, this person was right. Even if he tolerated it, the princes felt that Si Shang did not want to fight and was extremely weak, and he might have formed an alliance in unison.
In addition to the "non-attack" Chinese righteous teachers who can be organized spontaneously for defending the city by self-cultivated farmers and handicraftsmen, there is also a more radical and borrowable force.
That is the landless farmers who flocked into the city. The previous aristocrats wanted to instigate conflicts between self-cultivated farmers, workers and merchants and landless farmers, which was resolved by the Mohist school, which made the resentment of these landless farmers increase day by day.
The city Jiatong came to Shangqiu that year and made a lot of publicity. Si Shang paid money and migrated these people to reclaim the wasteland. It was precisely the emperor's father Yue Ling and the nobles who opposed it because he made a request that the nobles could not accept.
Now this resentment is the aristocrats who occupy land with various means. These people are also a force that cannot be despised and extremely destructive in the capital.
The true equal publicity of "sages and people farm together" and "land equally divided", and "market and family are not second-price" are very influential among these people, and the farmers have a good relationship with the Mo family, at least they are completely able to cooperate with each other at this time.
The responsible person thought about it for a while and closed the small book that recorded the pros and cons, and had to consider the great destructive power of these landless farmers.
If this time, the only thing that endures is the Mo family, and those who are truly equal in the farmer's family will never endure it.
At that time, the situation in Song State will be even more chaotic than expected until it is completely out of control.
The State of Song is a quagmire. What is needed for Si Shang is the stability of the State of Song, which can continue to be neutral, rather than complete chaos. Now a completely uncontrollable "true equal" riot of the Chinese people led by the peasants has broken out.
The disadvantages do exist, but just like that person said, take the initiative and take the initiative, and have more room for maneuver in the future; but if you take the initiative, it will be meaningless except to win the sympathy of the world.
After thinking for a long time, he thought of what Sikami said to him.
"Now, Si Shang has its own education, its own army, and its own talent training system. The sympathy of those people in the world is irrelevant. They only need to support our morality and believe that it is enough for us to make the people of the world, including them. No matter how many scholars come to Si Shang, they still need to learn a new system from scratch. It is no longer the time when there were so many people in the world who knew literacy twenty years ago."
