Chapter 155: Meeting the Pool (4)
It was time for heaven and earth to work together. After the victory of Yinyang in Chu State, the King of Chu's mind became much more active.
After this battle, the hegemony of Wei State was completely lost and he basically lost the ability to take the initiative in the Central Plains. Of course, Chu State would know that the next enemy was the Mo family.
This time the Mo family captured Linqiu, Chengyang. The King of Chu felt that the next step for the Mo family was to prepare to advance north, especially the construction of so many city fortresses along the Jishui coast and stockpiled a lot of food. It looked like the rear of the attack origin.
In this alliance, the Chu State was preparing to use the power of the Mo family to oppress Wei Han, and then find a way to kick the Mo family away. It would be best to incite the conflict between the Mo family and Linqiu of the Wei State, and transfer the threat from the Mo family to Wei, Wei and Qi.
In this way, Chu State could turn around and reach a reconciliation with Wei and Han. Wei and Han were the leaders of the Central Plains Defense Alliance.
Of course, it is not just the leader, but it is best to let Wei give Chu a real title in the Zhou emperor. The relationship between Chu and Zhou was not good, and Wei Han controlled the Zhou emperor. Although it was not as good as wielding the emperor to command the princes, many things Wei Han had to give face to face when facing the Zhou emperor, for example, the Tian family's status was solved by Wei.
As for what the Mohist school said about making Zheng State neutral, reforming the system, selecting virtuous people, and even selecting talents through open examinations, as well as the various political changes and land distribution held after Zheng State neutrality, Chu State would definitely not agree.
The Mohist family is already powerful enough. Even if Zheng State is neutral, according to the Mohist family, why should Chu State compete with the Mohist family? Under the complete education system, there is no need to think about the talents selected by Shangxian are all from the Mohist family.
At that time, Zheng State will be neutral and the Mo family will be controlled from afar and join the non-aggressive alliance in a blink of an eye. Chu State will make such great efforts to make wedding clothes for the Mo family? It is naturally impossible.
Therefore, Chu thought of a compromise method, which was to completely disrupt the situation in Zheng State.
What Chu State needed was only the cities and towns in Xu and Yanling, connecting the Pingdingshan defense line with Yangxiayu.
If there are more, if the Chu State cannot get it, it would be better to let the Mo family participate in the "dividing Zheng" matters to intensify the conflict between Wei and Han and the Mo family.
For example, several cities in the northeast of Zheng State can be assigned to the Mo family, and the method similar to that of Si Shang's "belonging to the Song Dynasty and two systems" can be implemented, so that the Mo family can struggle under the nose of Wei Han.
In this way, we can not only use the power of the Mo family to threaten Wei and Han, but also force Wei and Han to respect Chu; we can also continue to be in chaos in Zheng State, which makes the Mo family's Wei and Han tense all day long for these cities. In addition, the Linqiu incident in Chengyang made the Mo family's energy focus on Wei and Han, and Chu State can continue to deepen reforms and calmly reforms.
However, after the Chu State had a secret conversation with the Mo family, the Mo family refused and sang a high-profile statement that this time the Mo family rescued Zheng State for the sake of non-aggression and punished Wei and Han. Since we need to integrate knowledge and action, only the countries will be able to expose Zheng State's land to be neutral.
The King of Chu still owed a lot of money to the Mo family, and some merchants led by the Mo family established a large amount of money from the so-called Jinxing. The King of Chu meant that I would help you ask for land from Wei Han, and you would exempt me from some of the debts.
I never thought that over the years, the Mohist family, which seemed to be very righteous, actually developed everywhere, this time, it seemed like they had changed their nature: they could owe money first, but we could not ask for land. We did not attack the righteousness, not for land. Otherwise, what is the difference between us and you princes who fought unjustly for selfish interests?
It is said that it is for Zheng State to attack neutrality, and the world will be stopped, and the establishment of the League of Nations must be done. The reason for the war is what it means, and the original intention will not be changed due to victory or failure.
This made Chu State extremely helpless and could not see through what the Mo family was going to do.
The King of Chu also studied some of the morals of the Mohist school and was not unfamiliar with the "National League". To put it bluntly, it was just a system of Zhou emperors who changed the soup but did not change the medicine?
Under ideal conditions, the clan system of the seizure of the well field is the military system, the emperor has thousands of miles of capital, and the number of lands of the princes is equivalent to how many soldiers can be, especially when the peasants and soldiers are integrated.
The lower-level doctor is the lower-level doctor, which is twenty-five chariots and several disciples; the three armies of a large country are three armies, and the one army of a small country is one army.
Only this so-called League of Nations has no Emperor Zhou, but a group of people sit together and talk nonsense, relying on the so-called vote of the Mohist school to solve the problem.
But the King of Chu thought about it and felt that the Mo family was unlikely to be so stupid and so naive. Judging from what the Mo family had done in the past twenty years, it was obvious that this time was a little wrong.
The wrong thing is that what the Mohist school wanted to do in the past was basically open.
What are we going to achieve?
To achieve this goal, what problems should we face?
What are these problems one, three, three, four, and how to solve them specifically?
But this time, the thing the Mo family made was extremely strange.
After summarizing it up, King Chu studied it for more than a month and finally discovered the difference between what the Mo family proposed this time and the past.
This time, what purpose we are going to achieve.
How wonderful it is to achieve such a goal.
As long as this goal is achieved, the world will be fine.
As for how to achieve it, I didn’t talk about it. What problems might be faced, I didn’t talk about it.
It seems that all hope is placed on the nobles taking a step back and compromising.
Not to mention whether this is the style of the Mo family, the King of Chu could obviously feel that this is not a suitable style. He has dealt with the Mo family too much and has read a lot of books from the Mo family. It is easy to find out the key that is different from the past.
When something happened abnormal, the King of Chu could not see through it.
Just talking about the so-called League of Nations, the difficulties and problems that the King of Chu felt that even he could think of, even he could figure out a few huge difficulties.
If we don’t mention political reforms, military reforms, and the number of troops stipulated in various countries, just talk about Xihe, Zhongshan and Zheng. This can be solved by sitting down and negotiating? If the problems in these three places are not solved, the League of Nations is just empty talk.
It is not impossible to solve the problem. The Mo family used one to fight against the other princes and forced the princes of various countries to do this. The problem is that the Mo family cursed the princes and nobles all day long. If they really could do this, they would not let the world return to unity and Dali the world's "synonyms" state?
The King of Chu suspected that there was a civil strife or a coup in Si Shang? But the scouts and spies said that everything in Si Shang was as usual and nothing happened.
This made the King of Chu helpless. What exactly did the Mo family want? I couldn’t figure out what the other party wanted, and that was the biggest passive on the negotiating table.
Like Chu and Wei, what they want is clear at a glance. The buffer zone outside the bottom line is achieved by fighting against military forces by all parties.
But what the Mo family wants now, the King of Chu is sure that it is not just him, but afraid that Wei Han will not be able to see through it.
For this Fengchi Club, it is not only Wei Hanchu who has a headache, but also Qi Qin.
Needless to say, Qin was preparing to completely destroy the opportunity to stop the war. At least it could not allow the Central Plains countries to reach a peace agreement to stop the war, so as not to interfere with the Central Plains when attacking the Xihe River. Qin was afraid that the Mo-Chu alliance would be the overlord and would do the affairs of Qi Huan, Jin Wen Chuzhuang that year.
There are many more headaches in Qi State than in Qin State.
During the Battle of Jishui in the past, the Mohist thoughts in the southwest Qi were overwhelming, and the Tian family had a headache.
Now the Mohist family has captured Linqiu, Chengyang, showing off their might all day long, causing border friction, which is very meaningful to find opportunities to attack Qi.
The Duke of Qi ordered not to resist and avoid friction, and only wanted to restrain the Mohist school with moral integrity.
If the Mo family really occupied Linqiu in Chengyang, the southwest part of Qi would be really equivalent to being in the hands of the Mo family. How could Qi not be anxious?
Fortunately, I stood slowly this time and did not pop up when Wei and Han called for the alliance. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to end today.
The Mohist family occupied Jucheng, and after passing by, an envoy from Qi State sighed, "In less than five years, the people of Jucheng were full of synonyms for benefiting the world and loving equality and love. How could they remember that they were the people of Qi?"
Now the Mo family occupied the Great Wall of Yimeng Mountain. Yue State moved the capital from Langya back to Jiangkou. The Mo family's boat master Xiliu stationed in Laoshan near Jimo, which has become a port of the Mo family. Most of the people nearby fled.
Zhuyi was too close to the Mo family, and Gaomi also taught everywhere. The Mo family occupied Lai land. The Laiyi followed him and had already built a city. He gave a sum of money to the Duke of Qi every year as a borrowing, but he could not drive him away.
Most people in Qi are engaged in fishing, whaling, and whale oil has become the best lighting oil in recent years. Sishang's industry and commerce are developing rapidly, and there is an extreme demand, which has led to the increasing development of Lai land, and many people in Qi are fleeing here.
There were also fleets and traded with Jizi in Korea, and merchants flocked to him. The Duke of Qi could not manage it even if he wanted to. Moreover, Qi was also trying to change. However, the Mo family was at the moment, and Wei and Han were defeated again... If the Mo family really occupied Linqiu, Chengyang, what would the Qi country do?
If something really happens at that time, the Mo family will attack Linzi through Jimo and Gaomi; if the other army will attack Pingyin again, it will be too late for all countries to save them.
The headache for the Duke of Qi was the next step for the Mo family, would he build Qi?
Judging from the situation, Wei State was weak for several years; Zhao State stared at Qi State with covetous eyes; the Mo family was powerful in the Ji River, and crossed Yishan in Jubei, and Qi State had no danger to defend.
From the perspective of Qi itself, Qi is prosperous and business is established. The morality of the Mohist family spreads very quickly. Qi is full of Mohist countries. This is a reality that existed more than 20 years ago. Xiang Ziniu's re-use of Shengchuo in the past provided opportunities for development for the Mohist family.
And the most important point... Qi State is the most unbelievable among all countries, because when Tian’s family did not receive the title given by the Zhou emperor at the beginning of Qi, they called themselves safeguarding the people. Moreover, Tian’s family broke the Zhou ritual hierarchy system, so the people naturally would not be convinced by the sacred bloodlines. We cannot do what Tian’s family did?
Of course, the fear of Qi made sense, so when Wei asked Qi to secretly talk about his hopes of working together to prevent the Mohist family from occupying the north of the Ji River, Qi was really overjoyed.
