When the head is tilted, sometimes that is the truth.

Xu Ruo glanced at the head and thought that when Gong Zaiye was in Pengcheng in the past, he also reasoned this way. Sometimes it was really useful to be reasonable.

But this principle has not been explained clearly.

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, the nobles present agreed at least at this time, because they all knew what kind of people were from the remnants of Siziyang.

Don't say killing a noble in the name of benefiting the country.

After the coup that year, Zheng Yugong was the king, and Dazai Xin was so powerful that the remaining members of Si Ziyang were wearing mourning and killed the generals from outside the city to enter the city, killing Dazai Xin, and also killed Dazai Xin's family. At this time, he still had the courage to kill several nobles to warn you.

The nobles of Na Si clan held the head and said, "What the Mo family said has reason and can preserve the country, so they cannot be ignored."

"Those who have meritorious people to defend the city should be rewarded, those who have demolished the houses should be accompanied, and those who have trapped the city need food... We need to take out a part of this."

"A part of gold, silver, money, part of grain, corn, and some land to reward slaves who have made contributions in the future. Since it is for the country, start with me."

After all, the policy proposed by the Mohist school this time was very compromised, and it only moved the ownership of the means of production, but did not use property. The wealth in the Zheng State treasury was insufficient at all.

The nobles must not be able to take too much. It’s not that there is nothing, but that they really have to take too much. Some people who may not die after breaking the city may not be willing to resist sincerely.

The wealthy people in the city, those with many fields, big merchants, etc. all need to put out some financial and material resources to help defend the city. As the real power of the great nobles, they need to be a "model" at this time. It is not realistic for them not to take it, and they only use violence to force the middle class to take it, and what they take out may not be enough.

Zheng Jun and the leader of the remnants of Siziyang signed the contract and set many rules, so they came to the city with the Mo family.

After reading the promise of change and the orders such as rewards for merits were rewarded in front of the organized people, he pretended to apologize to the people.

The Mohist quickly organized the Mohists and some progressive scholars in Xinzheng according to organizational techniques and years of experience in defending the city, and explained the precepts of defending the city and the content of future changes one by one.

Four days later.

A new city defense that had begun to take shape has been established behind the old city wall in Wei Han's main attack direction, which is an unprecedented speed.

It has both organizational and technological progress, as well as the spiritual power of the people who are sincerely willing to work.

However, when Zheng Jun saw the city wall that had already been released, looked at the people who were working hard to dig well, the Mo people who were promoting the morality of the Mo family with the people, and listened to the rebellious songs sung among the people, he began to panic about the power of the people.

On the same day, he asked him to sell the resistance of the people of Zheng to a good price. How could he not understand what it means when he heard Zheng Jun sighing?

Faced with this, he said, "What the emperor saw is what the ministers were worried about that day."

"Your Majesty remembers that when the official business was in charge of the government, Mr. Zhu killed Ziyang, but the people remained unmoved; if the remaining members of Ziyang entered the city and killed Mr. Zhuyang, but the people remained unmoved."

"Have you ever seen the people working so hard on one thing?"

"In the past, when the city wall was built, it took fifteen days, and the land was not as good as the ones built in these four days. The Mohist school's meaning is that everyone is equal, and there is no high or low. Now the people only know the Mohist school but not the king."

"In the past, people did not move in public affairs. If there is something wrong with the emperor today, how could the people be willing to move? If one day the Mo family said that all the kings and lords were guilty and incompatible with the will of heaven, what would the people do?"

Zheng Junyi sighed and said, "The Si emperor said that people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry boats or cover boats. This is true. The things about Song, Teng, Xue, Fei are vivid in my mind... Alas."

The close minister said again: "Your Majesty knows what the big river breach looks like? There is never a huge gap at once, but a small hole first. The water flow rushes out because of gaps like an ant hole, getting bigger and bigger until it cannot be controlled."

"The same is true for the people. Today, they promised them to increase their home taxes and require their consent. Tomorrow they will abolish the kings and lords and have achieved equality. Once the people are organized, their strength is terrible."

"Of course, they can stop Wei and Han, but Zheng State is no longer yours, so what's the benefit for you?"

"Besides, Ziyang's remaining party has a lot of wealth and vast land, and the people are grateful to them. In the future, they will raise their arms and shout, and if Tian's family is a decent, what are you?"

"So, what the ministers ask the emperor to consider is for the benefit of the emperor."

"Once the people are bewitched and incited by the Mo family, Wei Han will inevitably be frightened, which is what they do not want to see. If they are not good at siege, they will be even more frightened and panicked."

"I have never been determined in the city, and now I have adopted such a policy of seizing the benefits of the literati and nobles. At that time, I will respond more in the city. If you are too late, I am afraid that Wei Han will not need you."

"I am certainly for the sake of the ancestral temple of the Zheng family, and for the sake of the Zheng family! At that time, please be appointed as the ancestral temple and divide it into a place to worship the ancestral temple. This is the true filial piety! If Jiang Qi, even the ancestral temple is no longer worshipped, and it is desolate. What will be the face of meeting the ancestors in the future?"

Zheng Junyi said with a sigh: "I have never been for the ancestors of the ancestral temple? If it were for myself, I would have died long ago! The remaining members of Ziyang killed the monarch and established me. I was to endure humiliation and bear the burden and think that I could continue the sacrifices of the ancestral temple in the future."

"Those who don't know me say I am despicable; those who know me are afraid that only Mo Di who evaluated the incident of Prince Lu in the Bai Gongsheng Rebellion..."

The close minister also knelt down and said, "The wise and endurance of humiliation are something that the world cannot understand!"

…………

Outside the city, the Wei and Han Allied Forces camp.

After several days of bombardment, Xinzheng's city wall was already shaking, and there was a small gap in the direction of concentrated artillery bombardment. It only takes a few more days to break through the city wall.

With hundreds of years of experience, as long as the city wall is broken, the commander's army will break into the gap and the city will collapse.

However, Wei Han’s bronze cannon cannot be fired for a long time. It takes a long time to cool down when it is launched, and the number is not too large.

The chief general of the Wei army sighed: "If there were as many artillery and engineers as there were on the Si side, Xinzheng would have already taken it down. In the past, Wu Qi broke Daliang by relying on the power of gunpowder, but it was not faster than the Mo family's attack on the city."

The Han army general smiled and said, "It's a pity that the princes met in the Heze alliance and agreed not to dig river embankments to erode the city walls and flood the three armies. Otherwise, Xinzheng, who was adjacent to Wuqian, had already been destroyed."

That's all, the alliance was signed by the princes and made public to the world. Whether such a treaty can be abide by it does not depend on morality, but on whether there is violence on one side to maintain the continuation of this treaty.

Si Shang is becoming more and more powerful now. If the Lord will unearth the river embankment or build a dam to flood the city without the permission of the princes, if the Mo family really sends troops to fight, once they cannot win, they will be taken out to judge.

When both Qi Gongziwu were shot, they thought that the little things that the nobles saw as massacre, their identity was definitely not as good as the real young masters of a country.

And we must also consider that those knights who are very close to the Mo family and are influenced by the Mo family's "benefiting the world for justice". If such a thing happens, the knights who want to go to the righteous and become famous will really be able to kill their whole family.

The Mo family is a little better, and they don’t like to use assassination methods, but those radical peasants, knights, and some schools that pursue small countries, few people and anarchy often do assassinations. Now that there is gunpowder again, no one wants the family to be blown away by a carriage of gunpowder as soon as they go out.

There is no control at the grassroots level, and there are often things that can kill people and run away, and no one dares to move easily.

Besides, even if it is the order of the princes, unless there is a written order, the generals leading troops outside will not be able to do things like massacres of cities and dig rivers, which were prohibited by the Heze Alliance in those days: once there is no written order, they will still be afraid of taking the blame in the future, assassin knights emerge one after another, and tens of thousands of troops on the Si are waiting for battle, and they will be arrested for public trial and fire execution. That would be a bad idea.

This time, the siege cannot be flooded. Xinzheng City is a country with a tall wall, so it can only be done by artillery to break the gap in the city.

The city gate was the most vulnerable place when the artillery was first released, but with the spread of some of the Mohist city guarding techniques, Xinzheng not only built a wall-mounted horse face on the northern city wall, but also built a second gate behind the city gate, which became the most difficult place to break.

Even so, the rammed earth structure of the city wall itself cannot withstand the bombardment of artillery, and it has not rained in the past few days, otherwise a heavy rain might have collapsed now.

The chief generals of the Wei and Han armies were discussing the siege, and someone came to report that the city was working hard to send the news. The Mo family had already helped defend the city and deployed a new city defense behind the city wall.

After hearing the detailed reward, the chief general of the Wei army shook his head and frowned and said, "What does the Mo family mean? I have never seen such a city guarding the city. Once the city wall is broken, the city will be broken, and it will always be like this."

"But they deployed a new city defense behind the city wall... This is unheard of, will it be useful?"

The commander of the Korean army said: "Don't be underestimated. The Mo family is good at defending the city. They also associate the guardian city with the nine numbers of the heavenly radiological geometry, so they are afraid that there must be a means."

The head coach of the Wei army nodded. He could not understand the city's offensive and defensive battle from the rational perspective of geometric ninth numbers. Everything originated from past experience, so it was difficult to understand what to do in the city, and he could not figure out how to repair it to withstand the panic caused by the collapse of the city wall.

But in addition to telling him the reason why the city walls were broken and the city was destroyed, the experience also told him that the Mo family was good at defending and siegeing the city, so that many city defense tactics that were completely incompatible with the seemingly inexperienced had a huge effect.

At least the Mohist family was left with experience in the fact that they were in siege and defending the city.
