Self-cultivated farmers, merchants, businessmen, workshop owners, farmers or village farmers who are completely controlled by the Mohist family all support the war in their hearts, which has a sufficient mass base.

As long as private ownership still exists, no party or school can represent the interests of everyone. The Mohist school has made this very clear, so the butt is sitting very straight.

The differences between rural areas and cities are becoming increasingly greater, allowing the Mohist school to sit in it to maintain the system of governance.

If a city employee revolts, he can use the most conservative self-cultivating soldiers to suppress it.

In turn, the peasant uprising could not defeat the artillery and muskets that emerged in urban industry and commerce.

The contradictions are not so sharp yet, and there are even more disgusting nobles, which makes Si Shang and even Song areas work together in general.

This is the source of confidence for the senior Mohist leaders to fight a large annihilation battle in Song. Although there are many contradictions in Si, if it is worse than the bad, the princes will be much worse than the Si.

Under this mass base, more than 20,000 enthusiastic people were recruited in the eastern part of Song Dynasty, and together with some field troops in Si, they formed a new army with weak combat power.

September arrived, and the four countries of Qi, Wei, Han and Wei had reached an agreement and officially announced the dispatch of troops.

At the same time, the Mohist school also staged a drama on Si Shang, "The Mohist school's first attack on the city is unfavorable."

Xuanyi Ministry used an extremely rare tone tone in the newspaper to perfectly express what it means to be "harsh in color and weak in the body".

On the one hand, he warned Han that all countries should not attempt to hinder the great cause of benefiting the world. On the other hand, he also destroyed the promotion of the Mohist school's ability to conquer cities and territory even if the main force was not present, and threatened Han Wei not to act rashly.

In order to cooperate with this statement, the newly formed legion took the initiative to march into Yongqiu after the Qi-Korea Alliance announced its troops, as if to prove that the legion whose main force was not on Si can still be invincible and conquered, as if it was really preparing to capture Yongqiu and march into Daliang.

Nearly 30,000 deliberately pieced together troops took the initiative, and when the coalition forces of the princes were still gathering, they began to siege Yongqiu.

Yongqiu is very important in the geopolitical situation of disputes among the countries. It is based on Daliang in the north and Shangqiu in the south. This is part of the defense line of the three countries of Chu, Han and Wei that year.

The city walls here are built very thickly and existed as a border fortress city.

There are not many temporary troops stationed in the city, and there are also three thousand regular standing troops.

Although the newly formed legion is pieced together, it exists at most as a second-line garrison force.

However, there were not many permanent troops in Yongqiu, and these people also had experience in serving. Although Song Gong abdicated and this new legion was formed shortly after he was formed in accordance with the new recruitment law, the little soldiers in Yongqiu City did not dare to come out to fight in the field.

The newly-organized legion has poor equipment, including the brigades that are the backbone, and are all equipped with the second-line troops in Si Shang.

Standard hot and cold mixing, half of the coercion guns and half of the spears, and four small cannons per brigade.

Most of the elite troops on Si Shang used flint rifles. Even if they quickly expanded their troops and prepared for war in recent years, they would not be able to have one.

The new army expansion and the new army under mobilization were mainly mixed with hot and cold weapons. Without simple bayonets and flint firing, the spearmen had to be used as shields to cover the musketeers.

Compared with Si Shang, these configurations are very shabby, but compared with the main legions of the princes, the configurations are almost the same or even stronger.

Among the princes, Chu and Qi were both schools in the Qi-Vietnam War in the past. Musketeers replaced crossbowmen as the main output, and spearmen as cover.

Han and Wei are in the heavy quadratic formation, with heavy infantry quadratic formations in leather armor, surrounded by heavy musketeers, and rely on the slow advancement of the quadratic formation to break through.

Qin was unique and replaced the Qin crossbow with heavy flint rifles that could not be inserted into short spears. They were used to form a more dense projection firepower formation than the combroach. The number of musketeers is more than that of the Gang Spears, and the formation is also longer and thinner, so as to give full play to the advantages of the heavy flint rifles that replaced the Qin crossbow.

Yan State was still using the rural shooting system to recruit archers, while Zhao State was a heavy invasion formation with light cavalry as the main body and supplemented by the three Jin Dynasties.

This kind of hot and cold weapon-mixed unit, which is considered a second-rate unit in Si, can still be considered a strong army if it is placed with the princes under the complete military system of conscription and training.

However, the "strong army" of these 30,000 people is still mainly exercised, and the princes must be able to determine that Si is empty and the main force has not yet returned, so that they can induce the coalition forces of the princes to advance recklessly.

Attacking Yongqiu is an impression of being fierce and being weak on the inside, so this battle will inevitably fail.

The new army that should have been transferred back to Pengcheng to continue training surrounded Yongqiu and took the three-part attack on the Mo family.

The zizi trench parallel tactics, artillery covers and suppresses, and engineers dig pits and bury explosives.

Before, the attack on the city was like this, everything was going to be good.

However, under Yongqiu City, problems arose, and the Mo family's artillery was suppressed by the vassal states for the first time.

In the past, whether it was to attack Dangshan or Chengyang in Linqiu, the Mohist tactics were simple and crude, but these three things were indispensable.

In the Battle of Dangshan in the past, Pengcheng mobilized almost all the artillery that Pengcheng could collect; in the Battle of Linqiu in Chengyang, Liuzhi commanded the most luxurious artillery units at that time.

The parallel tactic of Zhizihuo is very effective, but this effect is based on the advantage of artillery. Although a single Zhizihuo can also fight, the losses will be huge.

Originally, the purpose of this legion was not to capture Yongqiu, so the Lord will implement his appropriate ideas and engage in an unprofessional siege battle with the goal of as little as possible.

Around Yongqiu, both sides dug pits, counterattacks, counterattacks, counterattacks, burning sulfur to smoke tunnels, night attacks, counterattacks...

He pretended to surround him for twelve days. When he was about to conquer Yongqiu, the coalition of princes finally assembled troops in Daliang.

The chief general who was responsible for pretending to siege the city breathed a sigh of relief and quickly chose to withdraw his troops on the grounds of the fact that there might be danger in garrisoning troops under the strong city.

After the news reached the camp in the northwest of Daliang City, the princes were joking and the emperor held a banquet, which seemed to have an incredible victory for a moment.

The Emperor of Zhou did not borrow usury, so he used force to collect the tax and special commercial tax. In addition, the princes needed to get the emperor, so he could gather the members. The Emperor of Zhou finally recruited an army of 4,000 people and became the spiritual statue of the princes' coalition.

At this time, Ji Xi was very clear about what he was. He was so poor that he could not afford usury to recruit soldiers. Naturally, he would not make a big statement about the Zhou emperor, but instead "harmony and ministers" as possible.

The princes finally had to carry the statue of the Emperor of Zhou, so it was not easy to insult today and disdain tomorrow. They also regarded themselves as virtuous and loyal ministers in person.

The reason for holding a banquet in the camp to celebrate the Battle of Yongqiu is very simple.

This was the first time that the Mo family had not captured the city in thirty years. Although the city was in danger by the end, the army finally arrived in large numbers and the Mo family retreated.

Just that is enough to hold a banquet to celebrate.

While drinking and chatting, Duan, the vassal of Han Chen guarding Yongqiu, and his close servants held a few iron balls in their hands and presented them to the emperor.

The emperor was ignorant and saw these iron balls and said in confusion: "What is this?"

Han Hou hurriedly said, "This is the iron bullet of the bronze cannon."

Emperor Zhou said oh, but muttered in his heart.

I thought to myself when you three Jin Dynasty wanted to separate, you had to get three kinds of Jiahe from Si to offer. At that time, I knew some rules.

What does it mean to offer me a few iron balls now?

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Han Hou hurriedly smiled and said, "These iron balls were dug out of the soil on the Yongqiu City Wall. The largest iron balls are only five kilograms, and the number is very small. This is a sign of great luck."

Ji Xi smiled and said, "You are still aware of the art of divination?"

Han Hou was despised, but his face became more and more respectful, and he replied: "The Mo family is best at sieging the city."

"Whenever he attacks the city, he must first use artillery to attack for several days. When all the bronze cannons in the city are destroyed, he will send his troops to dig it as a rat and gradually approach the city wall."

"In the past, when I attacked Dangshan, the largest iron ball was 18 kilograms. It was destroyed by a gun for several miles. It could be killed if it touched. Even if the stone material was in the city, it could be smashed."

"Today, the 30,000 troops attacked Yongqiu, and for more than ten days, the largest projectile was only five kilograms."

"From this, we can see that the Mohist army must not be on Si. When Dazhi attacked Laiwu and surrounded Linzi, he would definitely take away all his good combat troops."

"The reason for attacking Yongqiu is to pretend to be brave. If you capture Yongqiu, it will be as they said that Si can still fight against the emperor's army."

"Today, the siege of twelve days but not yet reached, and it has not happened in thirty years. All the soldiers on the Mo family, Si are old and weak, and they are vulnerable."

"Therefore, my minister said, this is a good omen. When the emperor personally fought, Shangqiu would definitely defeat him. Isn't it that the emperor responded to the will of heaven and secretly agreed with King Wu's intention to attack Zhou?"

Shangqiu was the capital of the Song State, and Song State was a descendant of the Shang Dynasty. In the last sacrifice of Sanglin Society, Song Duke said that Shang Tang defeated Xia because Xia Jie could not inherit the original intention of Dayu to benefit the world, so he violated the will of heaven. Now the rise of the Mo family is to inherit Dayu's will...

This led to the Zhou emperor being very dissatisfied with the abdicated Duke Song, because Duke Song's words clearly questioned the legitimacy of the Zhou emperor from the system.

The Mo family did not worship the surname Shang and Shang, but worshiped the Dayu who controlled the waters of Tushan. The Mo family valued the will of heaven and ghosts, but believed that the people were the masters of gods. In addition, Mozi's theory of "love" and "respect" made the Mo family start a new foundation against the emperor.

Mo Zi's evaluation of Dayu in the past was as follows: We respect Dayu, not because he was Dayu, but because he did things to clear the world and benefit the people. Therefore, we respect Dayu, not because of this body, but because of what he did.

This theory is standard to carry the banner of ghosts and gods and idols against ghosts and gods. According to Mozi, the emperor has no legal principles at all. The Mo family's attitude towards Dayu is like this, let alone the emperor? I respect you, not because you are the emperor's school, but because you benefit the world. If you harm the world one day, it will be natural for me to rebel against you.

Emperor Zhou was dissatisfied with this, but he had no choice but to do anything about it.

However, the remarks made by Song Gong at the Sanglin Society before his abdication were very different.

The Song State inherited the Shang Dynasty's sacrifice, and Zhou won Yin for the Shang ministers. The Song State's words at the Sanglin Society were equivalent to announcing the Mohist principles on another level of rule.

The Mohist theory was a new story. I said I had reason, and I could only use the old rules to oppose it. But the Mohist school even opposed the old rules, so the opposition was meaningless, and eventually it fell into a moral dispute, which was not a systematically formed Mohist school.

The resignation of Song Gong was based on the remarks under the old system rules, and gave the Mohist school rationality under the old rules.

Emperor Zhou may not care about the new rules of the Mo family, but he is extremely concerned about the remarks of supporting the Mo family under the old rules, which will directly threaten the only valuable legal rationality left by him.

He doesn't know how to fight, and he doesn't know what the difference is between a five-pound iron ball and an eighteen-pound iron ball; he doesn't know how to arrange troops, and he doesn't know what the difference between the forward and the main defender on the wing.

But he knew these old rules very well. When he heard that Han Hou said this was a good omen, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You are very honest! You are very honest! The Mo family has no righteousness and virtue. If I attack him, the Emperor of Heaven will hide and win this battle."
