Chapter 31 The Brave Broke His Wrist

Let go of the city where the impossible to control such as Shangqiu and Taoyi, the strong power of industrial and commercial workers and self-cultivated farmers, and then return to the fiefdom to fight.

The bigger the city, the stronger the people's power. On the contrary, the villages and communities in the fiefdoms were least affected by various thoughts.

The confidant saw the emperor's father Yue Ling nodded and immediately said, "If the Dai clan takes Shangqiu, Shangqiu can defend it, but it is difficult to fight. We cannot conquer the people of Shangqiu defend the city, but if they fight in the field, they will be powerless."

"When you don't attack Shangqiu, they won't dare to attack you. If you occupy all the fiefs, you can delay time."

"This matter has nothing to do with the Mo family, and the countries will inevitably be shocked by this matter."

"If you retreat to the fiefdom, you will be divided into two Song states, and join forces with the other nobles to occupy most of the Song states, and Shangqiu cannot send troops to attack, all countries can respond at that time."

"If Si Shang does not send troops, it will be difficult to defeat you by relying on a few cities such as Shangqiu. It will take at least one to two years to organize troops to go on a war."

"If the Si country sends troops, then the Wei, Chu and Han countries will definitely send troops, and they can be used as foreign aid at that time."

The emperor's father Yue Ling lamented, "I'm afraid that this will happen. Song divided the two places. Wei, Chu, Han and Si Shang are anxious. At that time, their great powers will conspire to divide the Song land into two. This is my fault."

"I started a crime in Shangqiu. The purpose of my mission is to kill people with a knife and force the common people to do extraordinary things, which shocks all countries. But if we divide the Song Dynasty now... all countries are afraid that they have other ideas and may not choose to compromise with the Mohist family."

"I have long said that the feudal system, etiquette and law govern the country, and the people who are gods and choose wise men as emperors are all birds of a feudal world, and they are no different! They all have the intention of annexing the universe, and they will not let Song State go because of the differences in the system..."

The adviser said, "Lord, don't be impatient. This matter cannot be divided by Wei, Chu and Han want to make peace with the Mo family and divide the Song State. Wei, Han and Chu don't want to fight, we can force them to fight."

"After returning to the fief, immediately clean up the people in the fief. Anyone who has a verbal profession, a nobleman is a worm, divides the land, values ​​wise, and is noble but not always noble but not always cheap, will be killed. It is better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to miss one."

"All those who have disclosed their identities will be hanged and hanged. Then I will write a manifesto to denounce all evils of the Mo family."

"My lord should not forget the administrative methods of the Mohist family in Sishang. They not only say that the people are the lords of gods, but they have always liked to incite and borrow the power of the common people, but they are also the most likely to be influenced by the public's opinion."

"At that time, even if the people like Dazhishi and others don't want to fight, they just want to divide the Song State. But when the public opinion on Si Shang is Taotao, if he is a giant, he will naturally win over the people's hearts. Dazhishi will have to fight, and if he doesn't fight, he will have to fight."

"Proposals such as withdrawing troops to stop compromise will surely be regarded as "harmful to the world" by the people of Si Shang. Everyone wants to fight, and even if they don't want to fight, they can't do it."

"At that time, the Si Shang army will attack. Will Wei Chuhan allow the Mo family to occupy the Song territory? This is to use the Mo family to force Wei Chuhan to send troops, and if they want to force the Mo family to send troops, they must use the Si Shang administrative method."

"While people can participate in politics, they can be strong in the people, but there will be backlash. Public opinion and policy control are not something that can be controlled by others."

"As long as Wei, Chu and Han join the war, Qi Yue will send troops. Even if Si Shang is good at fighting, he may not be able to win. Moreover, if we kill so many people, the Mo family will definitely not agree to stop the war. They will never give up until the last person, because if they give up, it will be equivalent to losing their so-called great righteousness to benefit the world, and they will no longer win people's hearts, and Si Shang will start to be in chaos."

"If Wei Han Chu wants to balance the Mo family, he must keep the Song State, because if they can destroy Song, it seems that it is not a crime for the Mo family to destroy Song. They need to retain Song State in order to seek etiquette, law and justice, so that they can confront Si Shang."

The emperor's father Yue Ling was overjoyed when he heard this and clapped his hands and praised, "This is a great good thing. I was confused and I didn't expect it."

"As long as we kill more people, the Mo family will definitely not stop fighting with us. Even if it is a great benefit to the Si Shang, the people of Si Shang will definitely not agree. Whoever lets the Mo family use the power of inciting the people is their weakness."

"As long as they do not stop the war and divide the Song Dynasty, Wei, Chu and Han will shed the last drop of blood for Song. Otherwise, the land of Song alone in Si will be the only one in the Si area, and Wei, Chu and Han will not know the danger of the cold lips and teeth?"

"And, at that time, we will first make an anti-Mo manifesto. We will not ask Wei, Chu and Han to send troops, but wait for them to take the initiative to send troops."

"We don't ask for it. If they send troops, they will send troops on the grounds of agreeing to our anti-Mo manifesto. At that time, even if they don't want to fight, they will have to fight!"

"If you ask them, they will push back and stop them, but they will mostly ask for bribes in cities; if you don't ask them, they will also send troops, and they will not send troops to save Song, but to rebel against Mo."

"This is a great good! Great good! Your advice is worthy of the title of a thousand households."

After thanking the trustworthy, he said, "I say it not for the salary and fief, but for the righteousness in my heart. Those who work hard to govern others, and those who work hard to govern others. There is a difference between high and low, and the principles of heaven and earth cannot be shaken."

"I have long felt that the Mo family's words would cause trouble to the world. I only regret that the princes are short-sighted and cannot work together. Taking this opportunity, it can fulfill my revenge and fulfill my righteousness. It should be like this."

"Lord, remember that when everything is undecided and it is difficult to decide, what the enemy wants, but we are not, that is often right."

"If the Mo family wanted to take the Song Dynasty, it would be fine. This time the chaos in Song Dynasty lasted for a long time, and the Mo family had been suppressing it. It can be seen that they were not willing to fight now."

"Since they don't want to, we can't fulfill their will, and force them to fight."

"It may not be the best way, but it must be the non-bad way."

A few words made the emperor's father Yue Ling Ru's enlightenment, and he immediately realized many things.

The policies, strategies and planning of the Mohist school in Si Shang are unprecedented.

It is not that people have higher planning skills than them, but a completely different way of doing things and organizational model from the old era, which makes it difficult for the Emperor Yue Ling to deal with it.

If they were all in the old era, most of the people in Si were just middle-aged people, and they were conspiracies hidden under the rituals and rules, I was afraid that no one would be the opponent of the emperor's father Yue Ling.

But now it is not an individual who is fighting against it, but something completely different from before. The emperor's father Yue Ling has no experience.

The Mo people who were active in Shangqiu may not be the first-class talents in Si Shang, but it is extremely difficult for him to fight against it.

Some talents who were originally just second-rate, but under the Si Shang model, they could make first-rate characters like the old emperor's father Yue Ling helpless.

Passively, the method mentioned by this confidant is indeed a good idea. If you cannot take the initiative to deal with Si Shang's plans, then do the opposite. He can make Si Shang unable to do anything.

This is what happened today. Si Shang doesn’t want to fight, so he drags Si Shang into the war. He can’t let Si Shang lead the nose and turn passive into activeness.

This is also considered a hero who cut off his arm. There are still many forces in the city, but it is obviously difficult to succeed. It is better to abandon these forces in the city and flee from Shangqiu.

If you stay in the city, if you fail, you may die directly, your family will be destroyed, and there will be no chance of rebellion. The Dai clan will not let him go, and even if he does not kill him, he will expel the State of Chu and make him exil.

After a little thought, the emperor's father Yue Ling considered the power of the fiefdom and the current situation in the State of Song, and felt that the strategy of relying on the fiefdom to surround Shangqiu was just right.

The most rampant place in the Mohist family activities is cities, but there is very little power in village and community fiefs.

First, it is because farmers in the fiefdom rarely come into contact with external affairs, second, the more cities develop, the more likely it is to accept this theory of equality and virtuousness, and third, it is that the cost of organizing people in the city is lower.

Since the Mohist family and Dai took the initiative, Shangqiucheng would give up.

Now the Song Dynasty is roughly divided into several parts, Pengcheng Peiyi and Sishui, and to Taoyi, it is almost the courtyard of the Mo family on Sishang. It is free to enter and exit, and the city does not obey those feudal lords at all.

Around Shangqiu, after the coup twenty years ago, it was mainly self-cultivated farmers, and there were a large number of handicraftsmen, merchants, and landless farmers in Shangqiu City.

Apart from these two places, most of the remaining fiefs are controlled by nobles.

The activities of the Mohist family there were not very rampant. First, the strict economic policies made the industry and commerce there poorly developed, and they did not recognize those who had theories enough; second, the aristocrats could continue to maintain the system of governance in their fiefdoms with their original ruling methods.

He gave up Shangqiu and returned to his fiefdom, and Shangqiu City gave it to Dai. All Dai could control was the fiefdom of Baili and Dai's surrounding Shangqiu.

The Dai family could not have any jurisdiction along the Si Shui coast.

Shangqiu is a big city, second only to Taoyi, which has developed rapidly in recent years and is an important node in the northern Sishang trade line.

There are tens of thousands of households in the city, plus tens of thousands of households around it, and most of the people themselves are originally Chinese people and have good military qualities.

But the emperor's father Yue Ling was sure that at least the Mo family would not come forward, Shangqiu City would have more than enough defense and insufficient attack.

If he could unite the other nobles in his fiefdom and follow the example of Zheng's division of Song into two, the Dai family would have to prepare for at least one year to attack him, and the people might not be willing to fight.

The people of Shangqiu City are now becoming war-weary. One is that they are becoming more and more prosperous, and the other is that they are mostly short-sighted and think that they are profitable and do not have much thought of wanting to govern elsewhere.

As long as time can be delayed, countries will respond, and then they can be used as aid.

If it were an ordinary person, perhaps the first thing he had to do at this time was to send his confidants to Chu and Wei countries, imitate the incident of crying for Qin's court, and kneel down to beg for troops from all over the country.

But the emperor's father Yue Ling decided to use it the opposite way. Not only did he not ask them to send troops, but he also had to make a good attitude. With the most firm attitude of anti-Mo gentleman, he held high the banner of anti-equality, opposing virtuous and observing etiquette, and put all countries in an embarrassing situation.

If the Mo family did not send troops, if they really occupied Si Shang, Wei, Chu and Han would be very uncomfortable. They had already understood the truth that their lips and teeth were cold in the battle of Jincheng. If such a thing happened to the Song State below today, how could they ignore it?

If you can send troops, if you don’t ask for help or ask for help, and if you don’t have bribes, what is the reason for sending troops?

Apart from fighting against equality, opposing virtuous and abiding by etiquette, there is no other reason.

In that case, it would be a desperate battle, and there would be no possibility of dividing the Song Kingdom.

Or, if the Si Shang defeated the Wei, Chu, Han, Qi and Yue coalition forces, the world was shocked, and no one dared to fight, the Song country naturally perished, and the grand dream of his own family would not exist.

Or, the Si Shang side was defeated by the Wei, Chu, Han and Qi and Yue coalition forces, retreated to Si Shang, and built many fortresses. The people were fierce and good at fighting, so they naturally could not be captured. Then, as a buffer between the various countries and Si Shang, the State of Song would inevitably be left behind by various countries.

Because once you win, distrust between countries will become mainstream. No matter who wants to swallow the State of Song by himself, the emperor's father Yue Ling felt that he could survive the conflicts between countries and strengthen the power of the State of Song by then.

There is another possibility...that may be what the emperor's father Yue Ling is most reluctant to see.

The coalition and Si Shang fought in anxiety on the land of Song State, and the entire Song State turned into scorched earth and became the battlefield for various countries. Si Shang could not win the coalition, and the coalition could not win the Si Shang State. The entire Song State fought to the end and there was no more resources to rise, with more than half of the casualties...
