Chapter 43: An Interesting Story of Dark Clouds

A written covenant is a joke.

Since the beginning of the signing of the contract, it was torn apart in the future.

In times of disputes among countries, some countries can become natural allies without covenants, and some countries sign a covenant, which may just be to cover their true purpose.

Qin Jun is a smart man. Although Sheng Chuo rebelled from the Mohist school, he had talent, and Wu Qi was even more able to become a general and a prime minister.

Shi was very relieved about the possible reaction of Qin State.

Just like the Zhao State's inheritance power war five years ago, when Si went to Lu but did not fight the world, thinking that Si was going to finish learning from Duke Xiang of Song, Prince Zhao was forced to show his intention to negotiate peace under the pressure of Wei State. Qin Jun immediately asked Wu Qi to go around the coast of the Wei River, forcing Zhao State to be quickly transferred to Zhao State to divide Zhao into Zhao, and the Xihe soldiers who were on behalf of the two countries quickly returned to defense until the end of the Nanji River Battle, which also changed immediately and rejected the peace talks of Prince Zhao State.

The same is true now.

A written covenant doesn't matter.

If Wei was defeated, Qin would definitely push into Xihe even if there was no alliance. If Wei was victorious and had the possibility of regaining hegemony, Qin would never foolishly watch Wei's prosperity.

Qin was too cunning and obviously wanted to make a big news. The Alliance of Lianheng forced the war in the Central Plains.

The cat of the Ying clan is in the 800-mile Qinchuan, and the Mo family in Nanzheng helped him guard the defense line in Hanzhong. Once the horizontal axis running through the Jiuzhou was established, if you want to attack Qin, you can only go through the Xihe River and the Beiluo River.

However, on the Si Shang side, surrounded by Qi, Yue, Wei, Chu, Han and Wei countries. Once the Lianheng Alliance was established, they would have to share 80% of the pressure on the alliance.

Qin State made a good plan, but Si Shang is not stupid either. Anyway, it’s just intrigue. If you want to use my power, I want to use your power.

Four years ago, the Heze Alliance was held, and Qin took advantage of gunpowder and made it seem like Si Shang and Qin had formed an alliance, which made Wei not dare to fight with Qin at all, and also gave Qin enough time to complete the reform under the premise of less external pressure.

I feel it's time for the old Qin people to pay off their debts.

The Qin envoy wanted to continue talking about the content of the Song State, but he kept silent, but instead tried every means to turn the topic to the development of the Western Regions.

For example, the mountains and rivers that Solusan knew when he came back, such as how many Western language disciples Qin, trained in the Sishangsu University, needed, and how to cooperate, etc.

The messenger is not saying that he cannot talk about these contents, but these contents are not suitable for discussion now.

However, Shi is the master and he is the guest, so he really can't avoid this topic, so he can only continue to talk.

He talked about the evening until the evening, and he was still not letting go, and asked someone to prepare dinner. Some of the senior officials of the Mohist family talked about the Western Regions with the Qin envoys. Solusan even came forward and said that he hoped to go to the extreme west again in his lifetime, or start his second trip to the extreme west.

When the lights lighted up at night, the envoys left. When they left, they made great efforts and passed by the envoys of Chu State, and by the way, they allowed the detailed works of the countries hidden in Si to see clearly.

Just as Shi and the Qin envoys were talking about interesting things about the Western Regions, several typesetting craftsmen in the printing office within the Xuanyi Ministry were selecting printed characters made of clay.

The melting taste of rosin as a binder is very fragrant. The taste of the ink added with some viscous agent is also liked, but if you smell it too much, you will feel a little disgusted.

The banquet to entertain the Qin envoys has not yet ended, but the headlines of the tomorrow newspaper have begun to be published, and it has a great relationship with the Qin State.

The comments are suitable for writing, and the person in charge of the print is correcting it, while reciting: "Jie Xia must have walked south, and Shang Tang must have walked south, but we cannot say that Xia Jie and Shang Tang are the same just because both of them face south. For example, Dayu also eats, and Shang Zhou also eats, but we cannot say that Dayu and Shang Zhou are the same."

"If the people of Song Dynasty choose the choice of the Wei, Chu and Han tribes, and send troops to interfere, and the Mo family fights with the Wei State, it is because the Mo family is fulfilling the alliance of that year and obeying their own righteousness."

"If Qin took the opportunity to fight against Wei and seize the Xihe River, it cannot be said that Qin and Si Shang reached an alliance. Different ways and disagreements; different righteousness and no alliance. Qin fought against Wei, and Si Shang fought against Wei, just like Dayu was also having a meal, and Shang Zhou was also having a meal. It cannot be considered that Dayu was like Shang Zhou…"

After reading the article, the craftsmen also selected the words and put them in the wooden frame used for printing for a while. After checking the layout, they will be released tomorrow.

Shi didn't say a lie because he was speaking notes, not specific things.

He used the "Jiuen" assumption in Mohist debate. Under the premise of this assumption, what he said was not leaked.

Indeed, if Si Shang and Wei went to war because of the Song Dynasty and Qin sent troops to attack Xihe, the meaning of the two sending troops was different.

But the problem lies in the word "Jiu".

The Qin envoy did talk to him for an afternoon and even until evening. But the problem was that except for the first time, the two sides talked about the matters related to the Song Dynasty, they kept talking about the Western Regions for the rest of their time.

The newspaper articles did not say that the Qin people had reached some alliances with Si Shang, and it was absolutely impossible to say that the Mohist family was lying.

The content in the article is not even part of the truth, because the whole article is about assumptions, and no sentence is about reality.

Moreover, this article was written long before the Qin envoy saw it.

…………

Early the next morning, the Qin envoy looked at the headline comments on the official newspaper of Si Shang and silently said.

Last night, all the national works that were staring at him in various places saw him enter the core area of ​​Si Shang, and they also knew that he had been talking to him all afternoon.

Now even if a detailed work of Wei State appeared in front of him, he swore to the heaven that yesterday, except for talking about interesting things about the Western Regions and in the evening, he talked about the Sphinx of the Queen Mother of the West in the extreme west, he didn't talk about anything else... I'm afraid that the detailed work of Wei State would not believe it.

Besides, even if you believe it, it will be useless.

Will Wei Hou believe it?

Even if Qin Jun wrote a handwritten letter now, saying to Wei Ji that you should be safe and bold in the Song Dynasty. If I take advantage of the danger to seek Xihe, I am my grandson, will Wei Ji believe it?

The newspapers wrote more than those authors, so they wrote about the mountains, rivers, geographical forms of the Xihe River, the importance of the Xihe River, and the analysis of the Qin Dynasty's reforms.

Of course, we use critical strokes to criticize. Independence on Qin's changes cannot make the world profit, but independence on Qin's changes can make the people fight for their own interests and die. The Qin's soldiers are different from the weak Qin army in the past.

When the Qin envoy was silent, someone came in outside. It was a Mozhe who gave him something.

The Mozhe was just an envoy, holding a piece of paper in his hand and said, "This is a recipe for gunpowder. Now I heard that Qin is building the Wei River irrigation and is in need of gunpowder. This is a matter that is beneficial to the people, and the Mohist family must support it."

"Now that war is about to begin, it is very inconvenient to transport gunpowder to Qin."

"The giants made gunpowder in the past to benefit the world."

"However, Zi Mo Zi said that it is like a sword, which can save people and kill people. The kings in the world are mostly unrighteous, and gunpowder is like a sword, so they cannot be put into the hands of unrighteous kings."

"Therefore, the giant has always hidden the formula of gunpowder to prevent the unrighteous king from taking it away and using it as an unrighteous battle."

"Therefore, the formula of gunpowder has never been leaked."

"If wars are on the rise today, many people have either realized themselves or studied them and learned about the formula of gunpowder, but the ratio may not be correct."

"If the ratio is incorrect, it can kill people, but when the ratio is incorrect, it is not good when digging canals and exploding stones and opening mountains. Therefore, I heard that Qin wanted to repair the Wei River irrigation, and I was worried that it was difficult to transfer the goods, so I took out the gunpowder formula, hoping that the people in Qin would make a profit."

"In the past, when the great witch of Tushan was found to understand the will of heaven, and to obtain gunpowder to help Tushan girls present them to Dayu, so that the rivers and rivers in the world could be managed, and the people would no longer be affected by fish and turtles. Gunpowder is a thing that benefits the people. If you want to control the water today, you should follow Dayu's ambition..."

The last thing about Tushan Nujiao and Dawu and Dayu was fabricated by the Mo family and had been circulated for more than ten years so that the world thought that this was the correct version of Tushan Nujiao and Dayu, and how Dayu's son was famous for his "historical facts".

This is a story made up after the emergence of gunpowder.

The Qin envoy couldn't help laughing when he looked at the carefully sealed creed with wax seal.

I thought to myself, these people on Si are some wonderful people, which are extremely interesting.

The whole world knows about the Qin State's gunpowder formula. After verification according to the "test first" method and criteria on Si Shang, it is confirmed that the correct formula is correct and there is no error.

If this gunpowder formula was taken out five years ago and was worth several cities, it would be worthless to Qin now.

Si Shang knew that the people of Qin knew, and Qin also knew that Si Shang knew that Si Shang did not give Qin the recipe. After thinking about the newspaper he saw today, the Qin envoy immediately understood the meaning of coming to Si Shang.

Four years ago, the debt of gunpowder was returned to Ying today.

Four years ago, the Wei State did not dare to fight with Qin, which made Qin's reforms without external interference.

Now you Qin people should pay off your debts, so Si Shang took out the gunpowder formula today because he knew that the gunpowder formula is worthless to Qin now, but the story behind the gunpowder formula is worthless. The entire Qin State's smooth reforms without external interference.

This worthless thing was once priceless, but it is meaningless to be valuable now. Shi just used this to tell Ying to make a mistake, and I criticize me, you should do whatever you should do, and do what you think is the most beneficial to Qin.

As for the covenant, let’s forget it. Make the most advantageous choice between each other, which is more effective than the covenant. Today’s things are regarded as paying off the debt of gunpowder back then.
