Chapter 105 Taking the opportunity to make trouble (2)
At this time, the King of Chu was cursing stupidity.
"What is not stupidity to use the untouchables in the sense of law and etiquette as the pillars of the army, and then call on them to defend the system of nobles and lowly and lowly and lowly and lowly?
"You will never understand why the soldiers were the pillars of the three armies in the past! Because soldiers were protecting their own interests, but now they gave infantry soldiers to become the pillars of the three armies without giving them benefits. What is this stupidity?"
"I have said a long time ago that gunpowder appears, the military system needs to be reformed, and the civil system needs to be reformed, and the old system cannot be used again, but there are many oppositions. Isn't this stupidity, what's wrong?"
"Only change the military system but not the civil system. Sooner or later, Chu will not be Chu, and the country will not be the country!"
"Or, it will eliminate all new weapons, be completely retro, destroy all new things, and be polite to patriarchal law, so that one warrior can beat hundreds of people, so that the villagers can eat and eat, continue to use chariots, continue to use copper soldiers, and continue to use bows and arrows."
"Or, you have to change the law!"
Xiong suspected that the nobles of Chu were tying a noose into their necks without knowing how to live or die. Times have changed, and with firearms, they only change the army to form a military system that does not change the military system. What is that not to commit suicide?
If you want private soldiers to be able to fight, you have to train troops according to the Si method.
If you train troops according to the Si method, you have to send weapons to the common people and serfs to organize them.
Organizing them to send them to weapons, but losing the tactical confrontation advantage of the warrior class under the old system, and then continuing to bully the people more violently. Isn’t this the same as seeking death?
Zuo Yin, a noble sect, stepped forward and said, "The king is worried too much. The people are ignorant and dull, and they are all chaotic."
"Guan Zi said: Even if there is joy in the first place, they will vomit together later. Even if they are kind, they will not be close to each other."
"If there is no phoenix, even if the foolish people gather, they will dissipate and harm each other in the future due to profit."
"This matter is because Zhan Zhi is the leader. You only need to send three armies to kill him, so there is no need to worry."
In the past, Thomas Zhi led more than 9,000 uprisings, traversing southwest Shandong, sieging cities and plundering land. Now he is called Thomas Zhi.
However, after all, the Zhan clan was born as a noble family, and his grandfather was still the Marquis of Lu. After all, the Zhan clan originated from the son of the Marquis of Lu. The prince who killed the king in the coup and begged to take Zhan as his clan, so the Zhan clan was found. When the Daozhi was born, he was still considered a family member within the nobles. Therefore, when the nobles talked about it, they could be called Daozhi and Zhan Zhu.
Zuo Yin means that we have ruled like this for thousands of years. The people are generally fine. If there were no internal traitors like Zhan Zhi, they would not be a nobleman, and they would have nothing to do after eating enough, but they thought the current system was unreasonable, and the people were ignorant, and it would not be possible to be on the market, and no matter how they were kneaded, they would be fine.
You see, something happened in Anlu now. Isn’t it because people from noble families who are full and have nothing to do to pursue true equality and the welfare of the people?
Therefore, Zuo Yin believes that the key to the problem is not reform, but solving people who are capable of guiding the people to revolt.
Anyone who believes that it should benefit the people, be equal, love both, and opposes unjust wars is suspected of Tongmo and should be executed as soon as possible.
Xiong Sui immediately understood what Zuo Yin wanted to say when he heard this.
Sure enough, after Zuo Yin finished speaking, "There are many people in Zhan Zhi today. The root cause is that the theory of the Mo family in the chaotic times spread everywhere, so that from Yan's residence to Jiuji of Chu, there are many people who talk about the morality of the Mo family."
"Just like the peasant school, there is no saying in troubled times. It is nothing more than begging the emperor to give land to farm. However, since the Mohist theory has been widely spread, the peasant school theory has become more violent. It is no longer begging but more horrifying words such as persecution and elimination."
"So, if the Chu country is long and the ancestral temple is stable, we must remove the Mo people from Chu."
"Now Mo people gave lecture notes on the big city and Juyi, and there were Mo people who were named in the name of inheriting Dayu's ambition to travel to Chu to measure mountains, rivers and rivers. These people are now controlled, and as long as they are killed, they will be free of worries."
Zuo Yin cleverly turned the topic back to the content of "clearing the ink ink", and many ink ink ink in the state of Song Dynasty were controlled and restricted after the coup, including those young people who measured mountains, rivers and rivers with telescopes and various instruments.
The nobles were very dissatisfied with the reform policy of the King of Chu. The King of Chu's attitude towards the Song State Incident and decided to take a step back and stabilize the reform within the country, which made the nobles resentful.
Did any nobles hope to defeat Si Shang in a way that "lower defeats Shang" and could not kill the Mo people who were active in their fiefdom?
As long as you take action, there is no possibility of reconciliation between Chu and Si Shang, and then you can force the King of Chu to go to war with Si Shang. Then the reform of Chu will be interrupted, the nobles and the royal power will be settled, and the power of the nobles can be guaranteed. If you can endure the King of Chu for a few years, then the world will be changed.
However, the King of Chu had a new army and elite chariots, as well as righteousness and prestige over the years. The nobles also had their own ideas for each other.
If I kill you but don’t, the king killed my whole family to return to my fiefdom on the grounds of disobeying the king’s order, wouldn’t that be unjustly dead?
Although the King of Chu did not order the killers of Mo and the surveyors who were open to the public, he did not say that he would let the killing. Moreover, he had an agreement with the Mo family that the Mo family could freely teach in Chu State and build altars for sacrifices in exchange for loans from Si. Then if any nobles took action first, the King of Chu actually had reason to kill people.
Xiong Sui heard Zuo Yin mention this, and he couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart, was it that the nobles led this uprising to intimidate themselves in order to counter Mo, interrupt the reform and start a war against Si Shang?
After all, if the power is divided to the nobles, I am still the King of Chu, and the family can still pass on it.
But if the people seized power, it would be a must for the ancestral temple to be won over. After all, the common people do not have a surname, nor are they the Xiong clan of Mi.
There are so many theories of the Mohist school, and the king also likes sayings such as valuing virtuous people to curb the power of the nobles, but the phrase "selecting virtuous people as emperors" is too terrible.
Especially after the Mohist school recognized the Taoist saying "Tao follows nature" and kept advocating that "Tao is the will of heaven", this problem became even more serious.
Tao follows nature, what is nature? In ancient times, choosing wise men as emperors was a natural state. Then Tao follows nature, taking "legal principles" and "god will" for choosing wise men as emperors.
The King of Chu naturally had his own concerns, but he also understood that with the current policy of the Mo family, he could actually take the Mo family's path and leave the Mo family with no way out. The land was concentrated in the hands of the nobles, and the aristocrats were destroyed, and a large number of free farmers and self-cultivated farmers could be created. Wouldn't that ease the conflict and strengthen the royal power by the way?
When the people are full, apart from the idle and have nothing to do, how many of the nobles will think about choosing the emperor and everyone is equal? Besides, even if someone takes the lead, how many of the people will rebel?
The problem now is not absolute land annexation, but a feudal system, which makes the royal power impossible to strengthen. The central government has no money and cannot organize the people to reclaim land that could not be reclaimed in the Iron Age. Do people want to reclaim themselves and get money? In order to restrain the people, the nobles do not allow people to move and privately reclaim...
In fact, there are solutions, but the nobles disagree with all these solutions.
Strengthening the royal power requires officials. Nowadays, half of the scholars who read literate are nobles, and half of them are private schools who have been watching the Mo family since childhood. They grew up with paper books full of equality and benefiting the people, which made the King of Chu very desperate.
Using the first half of the people is equivalent to letting those people take their own lives, but I am afraid that the orders will first remove the King of Chu and then change them to the King of Chu.
After using the people in the second half, they were afraid that after executing the lives of the nobles, the group of people wondered why the King of Chu would also revolutionize the King of Chu.
Xiong Sui thought about it and realized the terribleness of the two inconspicuous technologies of "cao silk" and "printing" that were inconspicuous.
The grass and silk paper increased the population of the literate class of the goose scholars, and of course, it also had the material foundation of the agricultural revolution, which made the world more "idle classes" and could support more non-agricultural population.
The secret of printing is in the hands of the Mo family, which makes the wanderers in the world recognize the horizontal and vertical words of the Mo family, and discuss the theory of synonyms of equality and love that has been revised.
These two things that appeared in twenty years of money completely shattered the sacred blood of the nobles; and the popularity of gunpowder blew up the basis of violent rule of the nobles.
The law is gone and violence cannot be defeated. Isn’t this world where the nobles are always nobles and the humbles are really going to perish?
However, even though the King of Chu understood, he was still full of alert to the nobles at this time. What lasted forever is long, and what was now is now.
Zuo Yin simply hopes that this time the Wei, Chu and Han alliance will be held, and the opportunity of the King of Chu to visit the Chen-Cai border will be completely broken with the Mo family, thus prompting the Chu-Mo to start a war.
It is another saying that whether the fight can win or not is a battle, there is no example of a country that will destroy a country in one battle. Even if the Wu Kingdom attacked Chu in the past, wouldn’t it be the final restoration of the country?
Furthermore, if you lose, the closest to Si Shang is Chen Caidi. After the prince decided to make the case, the King of Chu was directly under the jurisdiction of this. The ceasing of the Mo family greatly reduced the power of the King of Chu. He was able to connect with Wei and Han to jointly fight against Mo. Isn’t that beautiful? It can’t be said that the Mo family won but went to cede the noble fiefs of the Chu State that were trusted, right?
Besides, the Chu people can establish hatred for the Mo family. As long as they fight, people will die, and the most common people will die. At that time, it will be said that your father and brother were all killed by the Mo family. Whoever does not oppose Mo is disloyal and unfilial. Using filial piety to suppress the Mo family's morality can alleviate the Mo family's infiltration into the Chu State.
But the aristocrats considered these things, except for the last one, were all unwilling to be the King of Chu.
The King of Chu had so many forces, and only those directly under the jurisdiction. If he went to war with the Mo family, the nobles' private soldiers would only be subordinates, and the real main force would be that little new army. If the nobles were defeated, they would be happy and the royal power would decline.
If a war starts and the nobles bring private soldiers to the battlefield, they can certainly recreate a battle in Daliang City with the Mo family, which "the king who holds Gui dies many times" and open up the road for centralization.
But once the operation is not done properly, the King of Chu is afraid that the Mo family will rush to the hinterland of Chu and do not need to be occupied frequently. As long as one fight is like in the southwest of Qi, the State of Chu will be over... After all, the King of Chu knows the consequences of the battle between those noble soldiers and the Si Shang Yishi.
Furthermore, Chen Cai’s army is now part of the Wang Shizheng Army. Which county soldiers and noble private soldiers are called? How could the nobles agree to the behavior of the Wang Shizheng’s main force but let the nobles die?
And the most important thing is that when the war with the Mo family begins, what should I do if the reform is not changed? It will not change sooner or later. The King of Chu is very clear about this. Even if he does not forget it, he will die in Wei and Qin. So what is the difference between the descendants of the King of Chu family?
The King of Chu actually couldn't accept the matter in Anlu area. The slogan was to oppose the nobles and not the king. He hoped that the emperor would be wise and wise to suppress noble ministers and blood-sucking merchants. Although the practice was not advisable, he could at least use his strength to attack the nobles.
Now, the nobles took the lead in attacking, and they wanted to use this matter to make the Mo people clear, forcing Mo Chu to start a war to weaken the royal power.
As soon as Zuo Yin finished speaking, a large group of noble ministers said yes, believing that this was the solution to the problem.
Xiong was suspicious, if I hadn't brought Che Guangxin Army, I'd be afraid you would have had the military advice. Fortunately, the prince was in Cangwu, Dongting, and the prince of the country was a reformist faction, so he could still maintain it for the time being.
However, everyone was attacking, and that was actually a statement: the nobles were no longer satisfied and could not even stand the reform. Today, they supported Zuo Yin to express their attitude and let the King of Chu think about it himself.
When the stalemate was in, a close servant came in and reported: "The friend of Dazhi came to Shangqiu and issued a declaration stating that if all countries do not interfere, the Mohist family would withdraw from Song and not leave any soldiers; if all countries interfere, the Mohist family would shed all the blood of the last Mohist in order to fulfill the alliance and righteousness."
"The Mohist school has sent envoys to "respect" the king."
