Chapter 57: The Siege of Dangshan (2) (Repair)

Faced with such a just reason for being righteous, the emperor's father Yue Ling just smiled.

He believed that there must be many righteous men in the Mo family who were determined to be the best in the world, and that the Mo family would never go through fire and water to benefit the world, but he felt that the Mo family demanded that the elderly, weak, women and children who were withdrawing from the city were more of show-offs.

There were envoys from various countries outside the city, and he knew that this time I was afraid I was for envoys from various countries to see.

So he followed this idea and mocked the Mo family envoy, but the Mo family smiled and said, "If you have to say this, it's not unreasonable."

"But the morality of our Mo family remains unchanged, and the princes of various countries will not be unable to despise us because of our benevolence and righteousness. The morality of our Mo family is spread to the world with the help of paper and printing, and scholars who are determined to be in the world have already joined us."

"There must always be a precedent in everything. The Giant hopes that the Battle of Dangshan is a precedent, and a precedent for the people of the world when fighting is taken into account. If they don't do it, as long as the people of the world think that it's not good."

"It was also a precedent for Tian Wu to be shot four years ago. In the future, those who dare to massacre the city will be killed!"

"Today's Battle in Dangshan will be a precedent in the future. The elderly, weak, women and children are also human beings. We must consider their survival. This is the difference between human beings and animals."

"In the battle of Dangshan, our army will win. You were too guilty before, and even if you didn't execute the gun, you would be sent to the South China Sea for labor reform. But the giant thought that you could still convince you that a hundred years later, when people mentioned your emperor's father Yue Ling, they might forget the blood of the butcher knife in your hand, but they would remember that you allowed the elderly, weak, women and children to leave."

"You have no hope for the past. Please take care of your reputation behind you."

Hearing the three names behind him, the emperor's father Yue Ling laughed even loudly.

After laughing for a long time, the emperor's father Yue Ling suddenly asked, "Since you are for the benefit of the world, if I take these people as a stake, if you attack the city, I will kill them, what can you do?"

The Mozhe was not panicked and said calmly: "Kill one person to benefit the world, and you can kill it. My Mo family talks about utilitarianism. Since everyone is equal, you only need to calculate the pros and cons. The difference between humans and humans is different. I don't think we need to mention it anymore. This is not a difficult question for us, but a simple question as asking where the sun rises from."

"In three days, the gate of the west camp will be closed. If the people have not withdrawn at that time, all the consequences will be borne by you."

After saying that, the ink master solemnly submitted the official document and then left.

After the Mozhe left, several strategists advised: "You must not agree."

"If the elderly, weak, women and children evacuate, the young and strong in the city will definitely refuse to defend the city. This is the magic plan of the Mo family to disrupt my guardianship."

"For example, if parents, sisters, wives and daughters are outside the city, how can those farmers in the city work hard to defend the city? At that time, people's hearts may be distracted, and it may be a disaster."

"Although these people are not used to fight in the last battle, it requires manpower to transport food, block city walls, and repair gaps."

"The Mo family's heart is extremely vicious. If you don't want to fight in the city at that time, it will be unfavorable to me."

The emperor's father Yue Ling didn't know this truth. He just stared at the clerk in a daze and listened to the advice of the counselors. After a long time, he suddenly asked without warning: "Do you know how the Mohist family defines heroes?"

The original intention of a hero is just a warrior, a person whose talent and force are superior to others, but in recent years, the Mohist school has given many new meanings to the vocabulary, and heroes are one of them.

The others didn't know why the emperor's father Yue Ling suddenly asked this question, and did not say anything.

The emperor's father Yue Ling asked again: "If everything goes well, I will change the laws, gather power, prosper the Song Dynasty, and reform the military system so that the weak Song Dynasty can be in my hands. I can control Chu in the south, attack Qi in the north, resist Wei and Chu in the west, and seize Yue city in the east, and return to the glory of Tang Zu in the past, can I be a hero?"

All the strategists and disciples said one after another: "The Mo family's righteousness cannot be called a hero, but if the people in the world are righteous, they should be a hero."

This was once a lofty ideal. The first step of this lofty ideal must include conspiracy and betrayal, because the emperor's father's clan was just a distant relative of the Duke of Song. To seek power, one must follow the rebellious path in the old morals of the Tian family Daiqi.

If there is no new morality brought by the Mo family, and the hero is judged by success or failure, the emperor's father Yue Ling thinks he is doing right. This is the case in the mainstream of the world. The Tian family replaces Qi and divides Jin by the three families. It won't take long for this to be a "hero".

Unfortunately, the Mohist school was born. The reform of morality replaced the old morality, and the replacement of new morality gradually became the mainstream in the world. Whether it was the division of Jin in the Three Jins or the generation of Qi in the Tian family, in their eyes, they were just dogs biting dogs.

The emperor's father Yue Ling often felt that although he was engaged in conspiracy, massacre, and conspiracy, he was all for a noble and great goal of restoring the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, although he did many shameful things, he should still be a hero.

However, with the changes in the current situation over the years, everything he had imagined before had no chance to implement.

People in the world will judge success or failure. If everything he planned was successful and the Song State became stronger, he could proudly tell future generations that everything he did was for this purpose.

But now, all this seems to be impossible to succeed. Even if I tell others, others will only laugh at him.

In the heart, the emperor's father Yue Ling may still have a little heroic spirit, or at least hope that others will feel that they are not a villain in the future.

Looking at the document in front of him, the emperor's father Yue Ling suddenly laughed and said, "Speak to those women, children, old and weak to leave the city. Don't let the Mo family think that all the heroes in the world are on Si, and there will be no heroes in our nobles. As for victory or defeat, it is nothing more than life and death. Don't let the world think that all the nobles are worms and there are no heroes."

"No need to talk about this anymore. Since the Mo family said this, they will definitely abide by it. They will not attack the city within three days, nor will they attack in the chaos. Let them go."

After saying that, he threw his sleeves and asked everyone to do it.

…………

Three days later, at the west gate, thousands of elderly, weak women and children from the city rushed to the gate, waving goodbye to their families in the city, or crying bitterly. I wonder if I could meet again.

This is something that has never happened in the world. There has never been a thought of women, children, old and weak when siege.

Just as the city gate opened, I don’t know who took the lead. The crowd who were about to leave the city looked at the emperor’s father Yue Ling in the distance, knelt down together, praising him as an ancient gentleman.

Looking at the old and weak people kneeling in the distance in front of him, the emperor's father Yue Ling sighed with a sigh.

"These people can kneel down today and thank me. Tomorrow and the next day, if the Mo family's morality really becomes the mainstream in the world, they will only take it for granted and will never kneel down again."

A confidant next to him understood the meaning of the emperor's father Yue Ling and sighed: "Even if one day in the future, the Mo family will be wiped out by the princes, the hearts of the world will be confused. I am not grateful and think this is the case. The methods of the princes in governing the world will change in the future."

"A person who feels grateful and kneels for granted is a way of governance by pastoral jurisdiction; a person who feels that this is the right way to resist is another way of governance."

"The world is in chaos and I can never go back."

The emperor's father Yue Ling remained silent, staring at the slowly opened city gate, and the people who stood up and left after kneeling until the city gate was closed again.

The trusted adviser followed the eyes of his father Yue Ling and asked for a long time: "The Lord thinks, if we really keep the old and weak as a qualifier, if the Mo family attacks the city, we will kill them, will the Mo family really continue to attack the city?"

The emperor's father Yue Ling nodded without thinking.

"meeting."

"Although the Mohist family no longer talks about whether to kill one person in order to benefit the world, I know they will not be held back."

"Besides... we take the people as the quality, what's going on?"

The strategist thought that the emperor's father Yue Ling was talking about benevolence and righteousness, and was about to dissuade him from saying that he must not be kind to a woman. The emperor asked, "The emperor is rich and the world is said to be the emperor's herders for heaven. When the two countries communicate with each other, the prince must be the master's qualities and the closest relatives of flesh and blood. If we take the old and weak in the city as the qualities, wouldn't that be equivalent to telling the Mo family that we admit that they are the ones who serve the heaven and the people?"

"Whether you win or lose, I don't care about the thousands of old and weak in this city. Just like Tian Wu slaughtered Wu City back then, I never felt that it was wrong. This matter is not about kindness, I only look at the righteousness of the world. If the old and weak are kept as the quality, I will have already lost."

"It's like I raised a flock of sheep. Someone wants to hit me, and I say you dare to hit me, and I will kill the sheep. Isn't this ridiculous?"

"Besides... it's useless to keep it, and the Mo family will not be left alone."

He looked at the long-lasting camp wall outside the city, as well as the bronze cannons shining in the sun on the high platform in the distance, sighed with bitter face.

The confidant thought about it and nodded, "What the public said is very true. But I still don't understand what the Mohist family is for, it's really for the benefit of the world?"

The emperor's father Yue Ling asked back, "When Tian Wu was tried, he was executed by shooting. Let's not only do the princes and princes of various countries, but also the doctors and ministers. Will there be anyone who can easily massacre the city in the future?"

The confidant thought for a while and said, "If the Mo family does not eliminate it, or if the countries have not formed an alliance to oppose Mo, I am afraid I will not dare to do the city massacre again."

"One of the things that the Mo family had tens of thousands of troops in Si, and they were forced by each other with their own power. When all countries had different intentions, they would inevitably hand over the people who slaughtered the city to avoid being besieged."

"The second...Mo family swordsmen are many, and the market is full of people. People who kill pigs and dogs believe in the words of righteousness and talk about Nie Zheng's assassination of Qin for the sake of justice in the past. If there are any people who dare to slaughter the city, I am afraid that those who think they are going to do justice will take this opportunity to become famous all over the world."

"It's simple to assassinate someone and kill him."

"It is difficult to assassinate someone and kill him."

"It is more difficult to assassinate someone and kill him."

"But in difficult and dangerous things, heroes are often willing to do it. If there is another massacre of the city, and the Mo family's order to punish the unjust, the person will be in panic all day long."

The emperor's father Yue Ling looked at the confidant and asked, "Is that all?"

The confidant nodded, and the emperor's father Yue Ling shook his head and said, "You are wrong."

"After a long time, the whole world thinks that the massacre of the city is wrong, and it is natural to think that the massacre of the city should be judged. The terrible thing is that this is natural."

"In the past, the city was massacred, the capital was flooded, the fire was burned, and the killing of prisoners was not considered different in the world."

"From then on, the world will think it is different."

"The Mo family has always said that they want to benefit the world and change the world. If they are just military and civilians in Si, they will be one of the powerful country and one of the princes."

"But they have their own righteousness, and have been making their righteousness the world's righteousness, quietly changing, if they melt snow and moisten things and are silent, this is what makes them terrible."

"The rituals have collapsed, the music has been broken, and the princes do not follow the rituals and music, but they do not have their own righteousness. The old righteousness has disappeared, and the new righteousness has not been decided. The Mohist school has seized the opportunity and has been in operation for twenty years, but the princes have ignored this matter."

"The five virtues of Qi and the laws of the king of Wei are not that they cannot defeat the Mo family, but that the common people will not like it. The Mo family's principles are not that they cannot be refuted, but the common people like it."

"What the princes in the world lack now is the meaning of a subordinate who can fool the people and make the people believe that the superiors can maintain the system and rule so that the country will not be in chaos. Otherwise, the later it will be, the more dominant the Si Shang will be."

After saying this, the emperor's father Yue Ling pointed to several soldiers guarding the city holding a medley on the city wall in the distance and said, "The times have changed. In the past, a gentleman could fight a hundred people with a chariot, but now a man can kill a gentleman with a musket. This is the basis for the Mohist school to say that everyone is equal."

His eyes were frozen and he said for a long time: "I only realized today that the Mohist saying that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and the meaning of this people is different."

"Wang King Wu defeated Zhou, and the people who won the hearts of the people are my ministers of Shang and Shang."

"Qi Huan was domineering, and the people who won the hearts of the people were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who were the people who

"As soon as gunpowder comes out, the people who win the hearts of the people..."
