In the twelfth month of the Xinchou year, the Marquis of Wei, Marquis of Han, King of Chu, and the giants of the Mo family met in Fengchi, Qi, Wei, Song, Zhao, and Qin either sent the ministers or sent officials to attend the meeting.

After the Battle of Yinyang, the State of Chu did not continue to attack.

If you continue to attack, it is likely that Wei Han, who was on both sides, had his backbone too far, and he set up camp along the coast of the Binshui to confront Wei Han, which would inevitably trigger a confrontation on the entire front. This is not what Wei Chuhan wanted.

The Mohist family shouted slogans and demanded the Northern Expedition several times, but Chu refused to allow it, and Zheng was in an uproar.

Since the fight reached this point, the three parties did not want to fight, and the Mo family, who were most aggressive in the Northern Expedition to restore the neutrality of Zheng State, did not want to fight. An alliance that seemed to rely on the negotiating table to solve the problem was inevitable.

The location of the alliance is wanted to be held on its own territory.

The location of the alliance given by the Mohist family was Shangqiu, and the two successful alliance meetings were held in Shangqiu. In addition, the establishment of the alliance meetings before was still built, so it was considered to be prepared and the most suitable.

The location of the alliance given by Wei Han was Xingyang, and he believed that it was closer to Luoyang, so the emperor could also send people to participate, and he could also go to see the emperor after the alliance.

The location of the alliance given by the State of Chu was Chen, because Chen was a capital. Moreover, King Wu had joined forces with the princes in Chen back then. Although this Chen was not the other Chen, Chen Chengyu Si was moved wherever he moved, and this place was Chen, which was suitable for the alliance.

Wei, Chu and Han added the Mo family to play the lead role, and the other princes were just supporting roles. Zheng State had surrendered. Sifang had talked nonsense about the location of the alliance for half a month, and finally chose Fengchi outside Daliang City.

One thing is that the alliance in Daze Dachi is a tradition in Zhuxia for decades. After all, when Duke Wen of Jin ruled over the past few years, the slogan of the alliance was "Invite the Emperor to Hunter". Daze Dachi is the most suitable place for hunting.

The second is that the Daliang City belongs to Chu. The State of Chu believes that Daliang is still from Chu, but it was occupied by Wei, so it can agree to meet the Fengchi Alliance.

The third is that Daliang City is the most marginal area that all military forces from all directions can radiate to. If something really happens, no one will gain the advantage.

At this time, Fengchi was still owned by the public, which was part of Gongtian and Gongze. People were not allowed to cultivate and fish at will. The harvest was all the subordinates of the public here.

In history, it was not until Wei State moved its capital to Daliang that Fengchi was allowed to be reclaimed and fished and hunted. According to historical records, "King Hui of Liang made Fengji's squat to give it to the people."

The hair means waste; the water means countless grasses, which refer to swamps and lakes with reeds.

At this time, the mountains, rivers and terrain were basically owned by the princes and nobles. The people could not go there to make a living, and they would be severely punished if they were caught.

This place is monopolized by the hands of princes and nobles, and slaves can be used to obtain benefits; secondly, once the place is released, iron tools have begun to become popular, and the people are rushing to flee and hide in the waters, and there are fewer tax-paying soldiers.

It was winter at this time, and birds could not fly away from thousands of mountains. However, the reed marsh was yellow and covered with a layer of white snow.

Countless ruts, horse hooves and human footprints left traces on the snow, and some birds flew around the falling horse manure to search for undigested corn kernels.

The alliance has not yet begun and the venue is being arranged.

In Daliang City, not far from the pond.

It is said that this is the most leisurely time. There is nothing to do in winter. It was originally the month of sacrifice. It was occasionally performed martial arts and hunting in winter to maintain the original military system of the feudal system.

But there are not many people on the streets now, and the clouds of war are still shrouded in the sky. Many people are recruited to serve, not only in the army, but also have to repair the city walls and transport food and grass.

The suffering of war has always been the people of the world.

In a very simple tavern in Daliang City, some older people have long forgotten their identity as a Chu person because it doesn't matter. If you count up a few years, will Daliang always belong to Chu?

The people who can still be in the wine shop at this time will naturally not be the hardest and most tiring farmers, but the newly emerging urban class in cities over the years, either engaged in handicrafts or commerce, who have separated from the identity of a farmer and the original identity of a national handicraft.

The weather is cold, so it is best to drink a few sips of strong liquor, and there is no need for any good dishes. Peanuts and broad beans that have been grown in recent years can be put into wine.

The wine shop has a strong Si Shang charm, selling strong wine, sitting on chairs, and leaning against the table. The window paper is pasted on the window, and peach talismans with some auspicious words are hung on the door. It lacks a lot of traditional flavors, but it quickly became popular in the Central Plains.

The one who runs the wine shop is not necessarily Mo Zhu, but among the many wine shops in Daliang City, there must be a boss who is Mo Zhu. Even if the rest does not have any, it has a close connection with the Mo family.

Some have no money to borrow money from a financial store for equity; some have joined organizations such as craftsmen and learned some skills; some have heard of lectures and learned a few low-key characters in the official script.

In recent years, tea shops and wine shops have gradually replaced the original role of Zheng State's "town school" and have become a place where Chinese people complain and discuss politics.

At a small table, a man asked, "Have you heard it?"

He didn't say anything, but the tone seemed to say that everyone would know without mentioning the subject.

Sure enough, someone replied, "Of course I heard it. If it were really good if it was as stated in the Book of Returning to the World, and not to attack and love, and each gains, and the world is harmonious, it would be great."

It can be seen that the so-called "Book of Returning to the World" is very confusing, or it is very suitable for what they want, and many people nodded and surrounded them.

Not long ago, the content of the "Letter to the World" written by the Mohist school was circulated in the giant city of the Central Plains, and it was quickly circulated through various secrets or public channels.

For the princes, the people's hearts may be useless; but for the Mohist school, it is necessary to win the people's hearts, because the Mohist school is not the princes, and their legal principles come from the public opinion rather than the feudal system and the rules that lasted for thousands of years.

The contents inside are easy to understand, of course, most of them are a kind of rationality that stands from a certain perspective.

For example, countries relax the system of personal restraint, countries allow people to migrate spontaneously, countries recognize the system of private ownership and property rights, and the legal subject of each country should be people rather than families. Each country has unified tax rates, countries have opened checkpoints, countries allow merchants to open mineral workshops, countries have unified writing, and countries have unified weights and measures... all kinds of things.

From the perspective of princes, princes and nobles such as Wei and Han, this is of course unreasonable, and it is unreasonable as digging graves with broken roots.

These things cannot be obtained by talking at this time, and there is no major change in the world that can be completed by mutual compromise and one step back.

But at least, this is not impossible to achieve, but a clear program that the public knows and recognizes.

If all countries cannot do it, then the Mohist school can only solve it with violence: the princes and nobles are unwilling to give up their land and personal dependence on feudal rights, and they are unwilling to surrender to unify themselves, so they have to use violence. This is to punish unjustly and is not the highest level of attack.

This is also the first time that the Mohist family has "finished their goals" in front of the world.

Most people in the restaurant do not know a saying from later generations. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Disappointment is sometimes a force, a force of resistance and tyranny, and this force will burst out with the moment of disappointment.

And now, they are still discussing a beautiful future that will intoxicate them.

But this intoxication also contains an indescribable mockery.

"Have you heard about Xinzheng? The people of Xinzheng took the contract signed by the Zheng nobles to find Wei Han, but were regarded as rebellion."

Xinzheng has been undermined for some time. The contract to defend the city for freedom and land signed when defending the city was exchanged for a result that made the people of Xinzheng angry but felt reasonable.

South Korea rejected the "reasonable" demands of the people of Xinzheng, believing that the contract was invalid because it was signed with the Si nobles of Zheng State.

The Si nobles have been slaughtered completely, and Zheng Jun has surrendered to Wei and Han, so the land of Zheng should belong to the winner.

At the beginning, the Mozhe in Xinzheng had already expected this result.

But just like the conversation between Mozhe and Xu Ruo in Xinzheng that day, this result was beneficial to the Mohist school.

If anyone who has a big fist will be the land, wouldn’t that prove that rebellion is not guilty and that it is reasonable to divide the land?

Since the fist is big, since the aristocrats could use their fists to snatch the "world land that should belong to the world" and think that the land belongs to the aristocrats is the reason, then wouldn't it still reasonable for the people to snatch it back with their fists?

When talking about this, the people in the restaurant were inevitably worried, or someone said: "At that time, the people in Xinzheng said that the world's crows were as black as black. If they changed their surnames, they were actually the same. I think this alliance will not be able to achieve a result."

"What the Mo family thinks is what we want. Haven't you heard the Mo family say much that the people in the world are divided into classes by the nobles. Each class has the benefits of each class, and there is no virtue that is applicable to all the world, nor is there any benefit that is applicable to all the world. If someone gains profit, someone will lose."

They could not understand what the morality of the Mohist school was, but because of the reconciliation between the Mohist school and Yang Zhu on the anti-feudalism, humanistic thoughts were rampant.

Excessive humanism will inevitably lead to the expansion, proliferation of personal desires and social turmoil. This is an acceptable manifestation of opposing the overcorrection of the patriarchal system for hundreds of years.

All countries, especially the people of the Central Plains, began to consider their own interests, without loyalty to the "country", and without dedication to the "country", but began to think about whose country and whose home it was.

The hundreds of years of wars in the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn Period made the people tired of war, anti-war, anti-ritual, and anti-law, and anti-theft constraints imposed on them. They even had some pathological thoughts of "no-tightness" and became a manifestation of the school.

The people in the tavern may not stand up because of the demands of the people in Xinzheng and use the Mohist morality of never refusing to benefit the world to support the demands of the people in Xinzheng, but this does not mean that they believe that South Korea's opposition and violation of the contract is reasonable.
