It’s not that Zheng Junyi doesn’t understand who can use it.

Now that the Wei and Han coalition forces are besieging the city, the people they can use are either feelings or interests.

Those who are sentimental are those low-ranking scholars and down-and-out nobles. They have constant property under the feudal system, so they have a certain sense of family and country under the feudal system, and also have the idea of ​​loyalty and other indoctrination. These people can be the mainstay of defending the city, but the number of people is too small.

The interests are those of Si Ziyang's remnants, that is, those who are now controlling the government. After the coup, Si Ziyang was killed, and the rest of the clans killed and killed the king again, and now controls the state of Zheng. Now the people of the other six families of the Seven Muslims are all on Wei and Han. As long as they attack in, the remnants of Si Ziyang's remnants will definitely be driven out, and these people will fight to the end for their own interests.

But... it is not enough to rely solely on these two types of people, and the number of people is too small.

People's hearts are disintegrated.

Defending a city is different from fighting in the field.

Even the city guarding before gunpowder appeared is different from field battles.

What is needed in field battles are three to five hundred full-time trainees, and they will take 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and fight to the decisive victory in front of the formation.

What to defend the city is that tens of thousands of people work together to fight to the end on the city wall. This is not a one-piece effort, but a three-drum, five-drum, or even a hundred-drums.

This is also the reason why he is full of expectations for the Mohist school.

When Xu Ruo and three other representatives of Mohist came to see Zheng Jun, Zheng Junyi went out without even tidying up his clothes.

"You are finally going to help me defend the city?"

The leader of the Mozhe said, "We must help you defend the city, but to defend the city and prevent the princes of the world from easily launching an unjust battle."

Zheng Junyi knew that the Mo family always spoke morally, and did not think it was offensive in his heart, and repeatedly said: "That's right, it's just to prevent the princes of the world from easily launching an unjust war."

Xu Ruo said: "That day we asked you why you fought like Cao Gui's words. Today, the same thing is still the same."

"As a monarch of a small country, you need to understand that it is not up to the literati and officials to defend the city, but to rely on the power of commoners, farmers, industry and commerce to defend the city. Everyone seeks profit, but if there is no profit, they will not fight. The common people have no home and no country, so how can they defend it?"

Zheng Junyi is already at a loss. Zheng State said it is big or small, and at least it can be defeated and defeated against South Korea. Although it is a weak country, it is unwilling to destroy the ancestral temple.

Xu Ruo's words were very rude, the implication was that Zheng Junyi was not as good as the Marquis of Lu in the Battle of Changshao back then, and there was no reason for the people in the city to fight to the death.

But now, although this is unpleasant and there is no such blunt and vague criticism as being said in the slightest and clear manner, he could only say with him: "That's it, that's it!"

Xu Ruo roughly talked about the response methods of Wei and Han gang's allied forces using artillery to attack the city, and then talked about the key issues.

Zheng Junyi could only keep saying that he had not considered the interests of the people before, and he must change it today.

Like the other two Mozhes present, Xu Ruo did not believe what Zheng Junyi said at all.

In terms of age, Xu Ruo is not much younger than Shi. In history, he had put forward his own opinions on the death of Meng Sheng and the elite Mo family in Yangcheng, and finally chose to die first to safeguard the righteousness of the Mo family. He belonged to Meng Sheng's next generation.

But when he joined the Mo family, he was still young, and Meng Sheng and others had already become famous at that time. The Mo family that Xu Ruo had come into contact with had a bleak ending in the third time, and finally chose to entrench the Mo family, which was armed and separatist in Si Shang to serve as the sword of the world.

Shi's extreme distrust of the nobles and shameless criticism of the nobles made the Mo people of Xu Ruo completely lose a trace of fantasy of the princes and nobles: it is not that there is no such Mo people, but that the Mo people with such fantasy have already stepped aside all their failures in the internal struggle.

What he came into contact with was the theory of checks and balances of power: For example, in order to prevent the Thirteen Swords of the World from being used to prevent the use of knowledge and knowledge, in the beginning, in order to maintain the Si Shang Yishi Master who was not attacking the Song State.

Those beginnings created the current Mohist school.

The checks and balances of power, the support of violence, the distrust of the oaths of princes and nobles, and the belief that only the force of the people can make the rules that are beneficial to the world be implemented.

This time they came to find Zheng Jun, not because they had fantasies about the princes and nobles, but because they needed Zheng Jun to make a hole.

Xu Lu knew all the propaganda methods, organizational skills, and incitement...

As long as Zheng Jun gives the Mo family a legitimate opportunity and just open a small hole, the Mo family will be able to do some major things with the organizational power in Zheng State.

And this hole requires Zheng Jun first to recognize some of the Mohist rhetorics and give a space for the people to believe and fantasize.

Therefore, Xu Ruo said: "The matter of defending the city needs to be trusted by the people, so that the people can believe more and believe the reasons they guard."

"Now Wei Han's artillery is bombarding the city walls. We have already mentioned the general idea of ​​how to defend it. Now, please take out the gold, silver, jade and copper from the treasury and your private treasury, and directly give compensation to the people when demolishing the people's houses and building a new inner city."

"If you can't even do this, how can you convince the public that you will have some actions that benefit the people in the future?"

"What the people want can be discussed using the National People's Congress."

"You agree to what the people want. Whether they can fulfill their wishes in the future requires taking out gold and silver to gain the people's hearts and trust you have lost for a long time."

The capital is about to be defeated, how can Zheng Junyi still care about his wealth? He kept saying: "This is what he says! This is what he says!"

He took out the Huang Fu that guarded the city and said, "Zheng's defense depends on the Mo family. All the costs are from the Mo family. The treasury is open and allowed to be taken by the Mo family. As long as it can be defended and even the princes come to help, this can be agreed."

The only thing that Huang Fu who guards the city can control is that some of the people in the city, such as the private soldiers of the nobles and the private property of the nobles, are not included.

Zheng Jun doesn't need to say this, and several Immortals understand it.

What the Mohist school needs to do is to gain the power to command the people who defend the city and thus organize the people.

As for what to do, Zheng Jun will naturally be unable to do it.

After these Mo people left, Zheng Jun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if he could support more than a month, the princes and Si Shang would have to make moves, and Wei and Han might not be able to break the city.

When he was happy, a close minister who heard that Zheng Jun agreed to the Mo family to "wind trust from the people, use profit to the people, and make the people fight" rushed over, and then held off the crowd and knelt in front of Zheng Junyi and said, "The king is in danger of destroying the country and the temple, but he still shows joy?"

Zheng Junyi thought it was about Wei Han's attack on the city, and smiled and said, "Wuyou, the Mo family is good at defending the city. They have already agreed to help defend the city. As long as they can last for a month or two, how can Qin sit and watch with Si Shang and Chu?"

The close minister said: "The king thought that the worries about the destruction of the country and the ancestral temples that I mentioned originated from Wei and Han? It is not so. What I am worried about is the Mo family and the people. This is the power to truly destroy the king and the country and the ancestral temples. The king actually handed over the power of defending the city to the Mo family. Do you think that the ancestral temple can still be preserved?"

Zheng Junyi's heart skipped a beat and asked quickly: "What do you mean?"

The close minister said, "If you consider Zheng, our close ministers are different from the Qi Mu nobles. Our power comes from the king, so we can fight to the death."

"In theory, noble ministers can surrender. If they surrender to Wei Han, they will still be doctors on the side. Only the king and close ministers like us cannot surrender..."

Zheng Junyi Qi said: "It is precisely this principle that I hand over the responsibility and power to defend the city to the Mo family, so that they can win the trust of the people. Noble ministers can surrender, but I cannot surrender. Since you agree with this principle, how could you say that I did something wrong?"

The close minister said solemnly: "The Mo people in the world have orders, no one dares to refuse to obey. But I don't know if the king is a Mo family giant? The Mo family is loyal to the people, trusting the giants, defending the city and attacking the city, all for their morality and the people, but not for you, the king."

"Can you forget the incident of Song State back then? The Mo family helped defend the city in Shangqiu, and what did Song State end up being like? The king is not for the king, the people are not for the people, the ancestral temples are in full swing, and the noble and humble are equal. Isn't this a country ruined?"

After all, Zheng Junyi felt cold.

What has the Song Kingdom become now? He knows it.

The rise of the people and the nobles were powerless, and the king was just a statue of gods. The root cause was that the Battle of Shangqiu twenty years ago led the Mohist school to organize the originally scattered sand-like people.

What the close ministers said is right. The Mo family was loyal to the people of the world, and the one who was ordered was a Mo family giant, but he was not a minister of Zheng Jun.

It just happened that the Mo family’s morality made the Mo people guard the city, not because of the relationship between the monarch and the ministers or the love for him. If there was no such morality, what could he be like to let these madmen who shouted to choose the emperor guard the city?

But the Mohist family not only has the righteousness of defending the city, but also the righteousness of being a god-lord and loving the people, not attacking the virtuous and resolving the people's three difficulties...

Seeing that Zheng Jun was already hesitant, the close minister said, "Your Majesty, please give me an example."

"If you raise many slaves, work for you to increase your property and gain a lot of granaries, and attract the covetousness of your neighbors."

"Then the neighbor said that you were guilty and wanted to steal your property. But this property is not the property of a slave, so they were unwilling to fight and thought that whoever you are not a slave, why do you have to die? And this neighbor is strong and you can't beat it."

"At this moment, a slave was extremely shameless. He took advantage of the danger of others and said that this property was their income from work and should have a share of it. And while the neighbors were coveting it, he told you that as long as you treat the slave as a human being and distribute the property to the slaves, these slaves will naturally fight to the death."

"You can't even beat your neighbors now. If these slaves can beat your neighbors, how can you beat your neighbors than those slaves who can beat your neighbors?"

"Since you can't beat it, the servants in the future say that these property should be theirs, so why should you keep it?"

"Of course, your granary house has been preserved, but is this still yours?"

"If this continues, it will benefit the common people of Zheng, but it will not benefit you."
