Chapter 111 Betrayal (Part 2)
This programmatic content is actually very straightforward to the many Immortals present.
How did the Chu people attack Shangqiu twenty years ago?
In addition to defending the city, it also forced a coup and reform in the State of Song, which benefited the people of Song. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the people gathering together after defending the city, some moral propaganda was carried out reasonably and legally.
The same is true for Zheng State today.
If it is said that as long as it is war, it is unjust, which is not a reasonable morality for the Mohist school, who has turned into defense and attacked from all directions: if one day the Mohist school sends troops to Wei Han and takes the initiative to fight, is it righteous or unjust?
When punishing unrighteousness and big and non-aggression of minor conflicts, what should be the first?
This is a line dispute within the Mohist school.
Therefore, this matter must be explained clearly.
This time, the Mohist family used the slogan of non-attack and suppression, but this slogan must be clearly stated that the rationality behind it is correcting the Mohist morality, otherwise it will have an adverse impact on the future situation in the world.
Based on the experience of the Mohist school over the years, when will the monarchs of various countries be most likely to accept the conditions of the people? When there is a risk of destruction of the country.
If the people are strong, the monarchy and the aristocratic power will easily be restricted, especially when the Mohist organization gathers together.
Moreover, this matter itself is an inaccessible problem to solve the predicament of Zheng State: Why should the Zheng people defend the city?
In this situation, the monarch, ministers and nobles are getting richer and the people are getting poorer. When they are fighting, they are a little whimsical when they want to let the people guard the city.
Even during the Battle of Changshao two hundred years ago, the Hou of Lu knew that he had done some personnel and had done so much, so the people could only use it.
Not to mention now.
Xu Ruo was very convinced of the host's statement and followed up: "The giant said that we should use all means that conform to the old system or not to the old system to benefit the world and the people."
"In Si Shang, we can do everything we can to make the people profit as much as possible without regard to the old rules."
"The same is true for non-attacking and defending the city. If the purpose of non-attacking is, then no matter how cruel Zheng Jun is, as long as Zheng is a small country, we must help defend the city. This is undoubtedly wrong, and it is also something that Zi Mozi opposed back then. Each of us should be clear about the boundary between the punishment of unrighteousness and non-attacking. Whether the judgment is in line with morality depends on the three appearances of Zi Mozi and whether it can benefit the world."
"It is inconvenient to communicate now, and the orders have not been issued yet, but the situation of the war is not waiting for anyone. Therefore, I suggest that we should take this opportunity to force Zheng to reform and benefit the people. Otherwise, we will not have the obligation to abide by."
"If we implement the ban on defending the city now, the people will resent us, thinking that we are helping the evil and forcing them to death."
"Scholars understand why they guard, because they guard their interests, that is, the righteousness that arises from benefits. It is unreasonable to accuse the people of treason for being treasonable."
"Besides, it is difficult to defend only by relying on the scholar class. Times have changed, and it is no longer an era when more than a hundred scholars and their disciples can defend the city in the field."
Xu Ruo’s meaning is that the Si Shang area is unable to issue orders quickly due to inconvenient transportation. The incident suddenly begins, which requires the Mo people in Zheng to exert democratic centralism, and on the basis of conforming to the moral principles, to give full play to their subjective initiative and make correct judgments.
If the Mo family does not intervene in Xinzheng, they will not be able to defend themselves at all.
The implementation of the ban on defending the city by violent means is contrary to the morality of the Mohist school and will lead to complaints from the people, and the people themselves have no intention of defending the city.
If you intervene, you must take this opportunity to learn from the Shangqiu Incident twenty years ago, and force Zheng Jun to accept some reform conditions that benefit the people, otherwise the Mohist school would not be able to adhere to it.
After all, the tone was set at the beginning: Zheng State did not accept political conditions, so the Mohist school would not guarantee Zheng's independence.
What he said before was to build a new type of defense behind the city wall also required the Mohist school to take over the city's defense completely, and it could only be carried out with the endorsement of Zheng Jun.
When the Mo family defended the city and demolished houses, they had to "mainly write the letter" and they would have to pay compensation at the original price after the war ended in the future.
The overall battle to defend the city requires the collection of grain and recruitment of people. These require Zheng Jun to come forward to express his approval before they can be implemented. Otherwise, the Mo family would not have been able to demolish houses and build new city defenses.
There are many Mo people in Xinzheng. If the people are organized, the programmatic reform conditions are proposed to force Zheng Jun to accept it, and the Song State Affairs were imitated. This is also possible.
The premise is to accept the tiger talisman that defends the city first and organize the people in a reasonable and legal name. As for what to promote after organization, it is not something Zheng Jun can do.
After a while of discussion, everyone quickly voted, and finally agreed to the opinions of the host and Xu Ruo, and selected three people to enter the palace as representative to negotiate with Zheng Jun. On the premise that Zheng Jun promised that there would be reforms in the future, he took over Xinzheng's defense.
…………
In Xinzheng's palace, Zheng Junyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
At this time, he truly realized the mentality of Han Hou that year. Before the Battle of Daliang City, Zheng State betrayed the Wei, Han and Zheng alliance and took advantage of the opportunity of Wei, Han to attack the capital of Han by sending troops to Luyang. So that the death of Han Hou that year led to a series of subsequent events.
Of course, Han Hou died was not killed by the Zheng people, but the tension and uneasiness brought about by the siege were probably part of the reason.
Zheng Junyi never expected that Wei State would divide Zheng State with South Korea.
Zheng State and Han did have blood feud, but Zheng State has always held Wei State's thighs and used the Wei and Han contradictions to survive in the cracks.
For the sake of Wei, Zheng did not hesitate to go to war with Chu, and the prince decided to flee. Zheng publicly stated that he would take it in, all to please Wei, tell Wei the loyalty of Zheng, and pray that Wei could guarantee the interests of Zheng.
Zheng Jun understood and understood this point, but it was precisely because of this that Zheng State should ensure the independence of Zheng State.
After the Siziyang Incident, Wei took the opportunity to annex a lot of land in Zheng, and Zheng Junyi could only express his approval.
Because Zheng State was three points, the remnants of Siziyang, the seven Mu Mus, killed the lord and supported Zheng Junyi to take over. The other six Mu and Siziyang, the remnants of Siziyang, had blood feuds, and there was nothing to say to surrender to Wei State.
The basis for Si Ziyang's rise to power was revengeism. Han Zi killed Zheng Jun back then, and Si Ziyang stood out in the background of revengeism. Since then, he has always pursued a policy of never tolerating the war against Han.
In fact, the smart people in Zheng State at that time understood that even though Wei and Han were an alliance of the Three Jins, Wei State was happy to see Zheng State attack Han State, but he was embarrassed to say it out loud.
The Wei State was very happy that Si Ziyang took advantage of the blood hatred of revengeism.
Openly mediated and secretly supported Zheng State to restrain South Korea. At that time, the alliance between the Three Jins had not collapsed, and Wei State was embarrassed to support Zheng State to weaken South Korea, which required the smart people of Zheng State to make correct decisions.
Si Ziyang was killed, and the Taizai Xin's sect was killed again. The other six Mu escaped from the capital and returned to their fiefdoms. They either surrendered to Han or Wei, which happened to be defeated by the Daliang City of Chu. The prince decided to split, but they did not surrender to Chu.
However, the rise of Si State, Chu State trained a new army to be trained to Cangwu in Dongting and quelled the rebellion of Prince Chen Cai. Wei State urgently needed South Korea as an ally, which made Zheng State's previous strategy of hoping that Wei State would protect Zheng's independence completely failed.
At the moment of failure, the Mo family came forward and expressed their willingness to help Zheng State. This was really a sleepy pillow.
It is impossible to turn to the Mo family in full, so at the beginning, the negotiations between Zheng State and Mo family were also closely following the reason why Mo Zi stopped Luyang from attacking Song: his son was unworthy and he did not need to be beaten by his neighbors.
What Zheng Junyi considered, or the reason why the Mohist school impressed Zheng Junyi, was that "waiting for changes in the situation."
Xinzheng cannot be defended by Zheng alone, but the world is not only Han and Zheng. Therefore, as long as they can hold on to Xinzheng for a period of time, there may be interference from various countries. At that time, Wei can use the country to defy the country to stop South Korea from swallowing Zheng.
It can only be said that Zheng Jun has never learned the theory of contradiction and cannot see the situation clearly at this time.
Originally, Wei State had hegemony, but this hegemony required the support of South Korea, so Wei State was willing to adjust the contradiction between Zheng and Han, so as to maintain its control over Zheng and Han.
With the Central Plains War a few years ago, the loss of hegemony of Wei State, turning to strategic contraction, the rise of Si, and the recovery of Chu State, all made the contradiction between Wei and Chu Mo the main contradiction, and the contradictions within the Three Jins were secondary contradictions. Under this premise, it was natural for Wei State to give up Zheng State.
Zheng Jun never expected that Wei and Han would join forces to divide Zheng State. Now that the sound of cannons is five miles away, he was completely panicked.
The Wei State criticized Zheng State's three crimes, but there was nothing reasonable. There was no reason to be accused of the crime.
What made Zheng Jun helpless was that Zheng State originally wanted Wei State to adjust, but now Wei State is no longer reliable.
If the Mo family wanted to help defend the city, the Mo family proposed the non-aggression alliance and Zheng State was also very happy, thinking that this was a life-saving straw, but the Mo family directly stated that they would need political reforms to join the non-aggression alliance, otherwise they would be exempted from negotiations.
Suddenly, the Mozhe in Xinzheng has not accepted the Huang Fu that guards the city yet, and the people in the city do not want to fight at all.
The meticulous works in the city and the people of Liu Mu were also promoting that: to give up the guardians and the private lands of scholars and low-ranking nobles remained unmoved.
Moreover, Zheng Junyi was originally a king-killer, and there were many propaganda that Wei Han was here to avenge Duke, especially some of the escaped Liu Mu and the losers of the political struggle that year, wearing mourning clothes, and the three armies were mourning outside the city. They shouted that this was not invading Zheng State, but revenge for the king and eliminating the king-killer, which made the people in the city disintegrate.
Commoners who have nothing to do with revenge do not want to fight.
The meat eaters can be beaten or above or above.
Some people were even extremely chaotic: giving up defending the city was for disloyalty; but after Si Ziyang's death, the remaining parties of Si Ziyang did kill the monarch and let Zheng Junyi take power. Now Wei Han is here to avenge Duke Yu, and it seems that he is a traitor to continue defending the city himself.
