The soldiers in the areas controlled by the farm are of good quality, strong combat power, and full of energy. They are much better at the spiritual level than the soldiers who work as agricultural workers in some places in Si Shang.

This is acceptable to admit that the best soldiers in Si Shang are mainly three categories.

Some are soldiers from Sishang Village, some are public miners in public mines and other places, and some are small producers and handicraftsmen in cities who are not yet squeezed by workshop handicrafts.

At the beginning, the State of Song was actually an economic colony of Si Shang, providing cheap raw materials and a large amount of labor for Si Shang, so it acquiesced to the State of Song to carry out land annexation near Si Shang.

There is no problem in providing raw materials and food in the colonies, and the troops are much worse.

The farmer controlled the place, last year the recruitment of nearly 8,000 people was provided as a division.

Ordnance and military equipment are taxed by the overall taxation, and the rear guarantee is solved by the collective labor system of the farmers' villages and communities. In addition, most of them believe in the morality of the farmers and have strong combat effectiveness.

Now that the recruitment continues, we can also pull out another second-line garrison troops of the division.

In addition, once war begins, the position of the farmers will definitely be the first to bear, so the farmers want to talk to the Mohist family about conditions.

Jiuzhou is so big that farmers want more land to practice their morality.

Before coming, the Mohist family had already discussed this. The Mohist family's self-defeat and extreme faction recognized some of the morals of the farmers, so they supported the farmers emotionally.

Shi did not directly talk about the decision made by the Mohist Central Committee, but asked Xu Xingdao first: "Where are you going to develop?"

Xu Xing also had plans, so he said, "I want to go to Yan, Jizi North Korea."

Shi nodded and asked again: "Why?"

Xu Xing sighed and said, "As you said, the land merger will eventually merge, and the wealth will grow more and more, all of which are caused by private ownership. But the ones that support private ownership are the small farmers and small producers. They are the ones that are most likely to be annexed at that time."

"They are supporting a path to make themselves extremely poor, but they like it."

"Since the initial tax, private ownership has become popular, and it is extremely difficult for us to promote or develop."

"In the past, my father and his son argued about the paradise, and there was another difference between the Agriculture and the Mohist school. That is, the Mohist school believes that the land is private, then the merger is merged, and then the small peasants become workers and employed farmers, and then they can go to the eve of the next paradise's transformation."

"My father believed that under the feudal system, there was a foundation for collective labor, so why can't we go directly over the process of private ownership, merger, bankruptcy, and public ownership? Why not just skip these painful processes in one step?"

Shi was expressionless and neither supported nor opposed to these words.

Xu Xing was silent for a moment and said: "Private land ownership in the Central Plains countries has become a major trend. However, Yan and Jizi Korea have not changed much since King Wu defeated Zhou. They are divided into feudal systems, work in public and land, and have few private land."

"So, we think it might be easier there."

"Also, the land there is often scattered, with thousands of miles of fertile soil, all of which are plains. It is more suitable for collective work and cultivation of more land, and is also suitable for raising horses and cattle. However, the land in the South China Sea is barren and small, so it is not suitable for a labor method that shares joys and sorrows and shares their benefits evenly."

Hearing this, Shi laughed and said, "The heroes' views are similar. The results we discussed are similar."

What the farmer imagined and considered was ultimately the theoretical inference brought about by the Mo family. Although the two sides had a lot of differences, the farmer had been led by the Mo family in terms of the methods of analyzing the problems.

Indeed, the Yan State and Liaodong, where Jizi North Korea are located, still retain a very strong remnants of the old system.

This old system is even more old than the old system that was overthrown and changed in the Central Plains, and can be called a living fossil in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Clans, villages, brigades, public fields, and land have experienced more than a hundred years of gradual changes in the Central Plains, and are still mainstream there.

It is not suitable for the development of large-scale industry and commerce. This theory of farmers is just right there: there is a lot of land and mostly plains; the weather is cold and can only plant a season of slack time; the rough agricultural methods in Sishang are more suitable for a large and sparsely populated land; large areas of unreclaimed land must be collaborated to be easily reclaimed...

All these are advantages for farmers. As long as they can maintain this kind of desire to benefit the world, they are indeed very suitable for farmhouses and villages there to carry out such corrections.

As for the Central Plains, it is indeed more suitable for the Mohist theory of selfishness, that is, altruism, in order to quickly realize land annexation, and wait for the steam engine to drive the population from the villages and communities to the city as soon as it exits.

Or, a large number of landless people will be enriched in the future, grant land to immigrate, etc.

This time, he inspected the northwest of the Song Dynasty with great fanfare and had cordial talks with the peasants. This had a different intention when the princes met in Luoyi to confront the emperor.

He not only inspected the villages under the jurisdiction of the farmer, but also inspected several nearby cities.

At the same time, the Mohist field legions in Si were also gathered in Song, and they were as big as Shi, not planning to hide anything.

Soon after, the elderly, weak, women and children from some villages under the jurisdiction of the farmer began to move eastward, while the young and strong people gathered together to transport grain to Taoyi, Shangqiu and other places after collecting summer grain.

It seems that this is preparing to start a war in Song.

The public opinion in Si Shang also began to turn into a saying that the battle to benefit the world.

The military strategy is that the superior army attacks the plan, and then attacks the diplomatic forces, and then attacks the troops, and then attacks the cities. The method of attacking the city is a last resort. Build the oars and trolls, equips, and equipment, and then it will be completed in three months; the distance between the tills and the ants will be completed in three months. The general cannot defeat his anger and ants will be attached to him, killing one-third of the soldiers, and the city will not be pulled out. This is a disaster for attack. Therefore, those who are good at using troops will be to slash the soldiers and not fight against others, and to destroy the people's country but not long-term. They must fight for the whole world, so the soldiers will not be stopped and profitable. This is the method of attack.

The Mohist school's previous development path in Si was either to attack plans or to attack diplomatic relations. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it would use the conflicts between the princes to attack troops and attack cities.

Such as using the contradictions between Jin and Chu to gain a foothold, using the contradictions between Wei and Zhao to attack Qi, using the contradictions between Wei and Chu to destroy dreams, using Zheng to seize Song, etc.

But this time, the Mohist stance made by the Mohist school seemed to be completely different from the plan and the diplomats, but was preparing to conquer the troops head-on and attack the cities.

Sun Wuzi's argument about "siege under the city" has become unsuitable for this era because of the emergence of some weapons and tactics, at least not for the Mohist side.

Because the Mohist family was using gunpowder and explosives to attack the rammed earth city that defended the bronze sword, this was an asymmetric war.

Turning "below" into "second" and turning extremely difficult siege into extremely simple siege battles has led to a thirty-year rapid change in the tactics and military system of the whole world.

This time, the princes gathered in Luoyi, which seemed to be a failure of the Mohist family's "exploitation of diplomatic relations". They did not use the contradictions of the princes and no longer used diplomatic means to solve many problems. Instead, they encouraged public opinion within Si Shang to start a full war with the princes.

Many people shook their heads and thought that the Mo family had taken the wrong path and were a little arrogant.

But the upper class of the Mohist school knew that it had reached this point today. There was no need to attack diplomatic relations, and there was no room for diplomatic breakthroughs.

It's obviously a life-and-death matter.

This is not the original battle between the princes, and they can borrow strength from each other to restrain each other.

Instead, the Mo family wanted to force the nobles under the vassal system to death, and it was useless to attack the diplomatic relations, so it would be better to make plans earlier.

The incident of going to the northwest of the Song Dynasty naturally triggered panic and responses among various countries.

Although the princes were still arguing in Luoyi, all countries immediately responded to the fact that they had a great fanfare to inspect the western border of Song and the Si Shang Field Army gathered in Song.

The elites of Qi gathered west of Linzi, watching the movements on Si nervously, and the scouts who conveyed the messages dozens of times a day.

Forty thousand troops headed south, in Chengyang, Linqiu and other places, not far from the Wei and Wei troops.

In Taoyi and other places, Mo family scouts had already begun to enter Qi and Wei, and took advantage of the situation of taking the initiative to attack before the princes could not achieve the alliance.

The transportation of food, grass and ammunition is endless, which seems like the alliance between princes is difficult to achieve. However, the Mo family has added fuel to the fire and insisted on giving out a result.

…………

At this time, at the harbor at the entrance of the Huai River, soldiers from two divisions were boarding the ship.

The forces of these two divisions have been here for a long time and have been publicized to the outside world that they are preparing to draw the Vietnamese battle.

Moreover, many propaganda have been saying that only a few divisions of troops are needed to pacify the Yue Kingdom.

This propaganda was not only believed by the military and civilians of Si, but also by the King of Yue and the princes of the northern regions.

The Yue Kingdom did not dare to cross the river and march northward, so he could only crouch in the land of Wu and Yue, and put all his hopes on the northern princes, because the Yue Kingdom understood how weak and helpless he was at this time, especially after the boat army was overthrown.

At this time, the Huai River did not flow into the Yangtze River, but had a separate sea estuary.

After the Yellow River seized the Huai River in later generations, the sea estuary gradually accumulated. From the Song Dynasty to the later generations, the size of a county was actually accumulated.

At this time, the entrance to the Huai River is the busiest port in the world.

Sishui, Danshui, Sui River, the Sishui and Jishui, the Heshui of the Yellow River; the Huai River, the Yellow River, and the Hangou of the Yangtze River... Ji, Huai River, and the four rivers of Jiangxi are connected at this time, and the Huai River is the most important route on Si. After the rise of maritime transportation, it is quite prosperous here.

This place is not far from Hangou. The troops of the two divisions have been stationed here for half a year. They have been practicing boating in the past six months to avoid getting bumpy.

It seems that these two divisions were clearly going to occupy the blockade from the Mohist school. In the past, Goujian was preparing to exile Fuchai to land in Kuaiji and Wu, and went straight to the core of Yue Kingdom.

Yue State was extremely nervous, so naturally believed that the forces of these two divisions were to attack Yue State, and the princes believed it without doubt.

But in fact, it is not, it is just a trick to attack the world.

Originally, the troops of these two divisions were prepared to attack Jimo and Gaomi on a boat and threaten Linzi after the full war with the princes.

But not long ago, a decision was made at an internal meeting of the Mohist school, changing the plan, changing from defensive counterattack to active offense, and taking the lead in launching a war before the princes were ready, and caught the princes off guard, thus seizing the initiative in the war.

On the one hand, there is a bumper harvest of grain this summer, and on the other hand, the ruling stability and conscription work in Jianghan, Nanyang and other places are much better than expected.

This enabled the Mohist senior executives to adjust their strategies according to the situation.

So, Shi went to the western part of the Song Dynasty to inspect the villages and communities of the peasants; the field armies of Si Shang met in Shangqiu, Taoyi, and Wei made a threatening gesture.

The soldiers who had been trained at the mouth of Huaihe River for half a year would board the ship and head to Jiaozhou Bay to land in the port where the Moh family occupied the ceded in the Qi-Mo War. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the main force of Qi's field war to mobilize westward, they would use the shipping to attack Qi and catch them off guard.

At that time, we will work with troops from Jucheng and other places on the land to attack Jimo and Gaomi.

Taking advantage of the summer grain harvest and the autumn grain was not harvested, the rule of Qi nobles in Jiaodong was destroyed in one fell swoop, and the land reform was forced with the most violent means, encouraging the people to harvest the grain of the nobles in the fiefdom for themselves, and at the same time, the summer grain was collected.

Once Gaomi was conquered and Jimo destroyed the rule of Qi's nobles in Jiaodong, they entered west to Weishui and made a threat to Linzi, forcing Qi to pull back the main force.

Once the main force of Qi State is transferred, South Korea will not dare to send troops out of Nanyang, thereby alleviating the pressure on the Western Front.

The land of Jiaodong is occupied but not defended. Once the main force of Qi gathers eastward to prepare for attack, it is ready to give up the retreat of Jiaodong southward.
Chapter completed!
