warring states careerist

Chapter 307
Taking advantage of the fact that there is no tragic blood feud in the Warring States Period in various countries, and the concept of the world that the world still has Zhou Li, it quietly propagates a wave of universal theories, which does not violate peace in the slightest.

When the Qin State began to mobilize the whole country for military meritorious titles, it was difficult to convince others with this set of theories. After all, when it comes to their own interests, the country is bound to the soldiers who want military meritorious land, and the country is not just nobles. country.

In foreign wars, when the nobles eat meat and the common people drink soup, it can be promoted to fight for the country, and it can also completely turn the concept of the world into a situation where the seven kingdoms are in chaos and war against each other.

When the people of Niulanyi heard these truths that Shi said for the first time, they would inevitably feel resentment in their hearts. Only then did they realize that the obligations that have been taken for granted for hundreds of years are not so taken for granted.

Although there is resentment, there is nothing they can do about it, because they still don't know what to do, and they don't know how to resolve this resentment.

Everyone thought to themselves, fortunately these Mohists said that the principles of Mohism can solve these problems, and it will be a long time in the future, so they can always listen to them slowly.

Immediately got up, took out a pen and paper, and asked people to check the bonds, and at the same time select some farmers who owed too much, and recruit them to become the crude firearms troops guarding Niu Lan.

The members of the Propaganda Department who followed him did not rush to publicize for the time being. Anyway, due to feudal obligations and previous customary labor, these people will organize to build the city wall on the grounds of "Lu Yanggong's order". An opportunity suitable for publicity, people need to be organized to be more suitable for publicity.

For those who are in debt, the appropriate idea is also simple.Repaying debts is theoretically justified, but if the vast majority of people in a city need to borrow money from time to time, then there is a problem in the world.

The next day, Shi began to gather the people of Niu Lanyi, and organized them according to the Mohist guard city Shiwu formation.

To build a rammed earth city wall, the Mohists have a tradition of division of labor and cooperation, and the more than 40 Mohists who followed are also good at this method.

Niulan is not big, much smaller than the "city of [-] households" that Mozi was good at defending.It is the first time to organize so many people. Fortunately, the rest of the Mo family are also familiar with these operations.

After grouping, it is appropriate to plan a series of matters such as the width, angle, and protrusion of the new city wall.

Before the excavation of the soil and repairs started, a firecracker was lit in the city. Amidst the panic of the crowd, the gunpowder weapon was shown in Niu Lan, so that the people would not panic when they heard such a strange sound.

The light and strong men with more debts gathered also started simple firearms training.

Under the tradition of the integration of farmers and soldiers, these people have more or less received certain military training. At least the queue can still be lined up for winter martial arts performances, but they cannot be neat and cannot guarantee neatness when advancing and retreating.Judging by the standards at this time, it takes a whole team to play drums for ten steps to maintain formation.

After the simple hand cannons and other firearms are distributed, it is convenient to train these people in person. It is not required that these people can fight against the enemy in the field, but the training content is much simpler if they defend the city.

It was nothing more than loading, aiming, and ignition. The sound of ping-pong-pong began to echo in Niu Lanyi.

The rest is to understand the order, and nothing else can be trained in a short period of time.

As for those cannons, the disciples of the Mohist school will go into battle shirtless, they understand discipline, and this time they are also training their gunners for Xun in actual combat.

At the same time, the people outside Niu Lanyi also began to gather in the city. According to the rules of the Mohists, they strictly guarded the passages within [-] miles, caught spies, and established a lookout village.

In July, the second batch of weapons and gunpowder arrived from Pei County, followed by more than 20 Mohists who needed to personally go into battle and control the artillery when necessary.

The Mo family originally had bed crossbows and revolving fire machines, and their effects in defending the city were similar to cannons, disrupting the opponent's archer formation, defeating the enemy's chariots, and so on.

What followed was that Juzi and Qiwuhai agreed with Shi and others to personally direct the defense of Niu Lanyi, but they should not be captured alive so as not to give Wei Han an excuse.

At the end of July, Duke Lu Yang sent another [-] warriors, plus more than a hundred crossbowmen.

The second batch of ten sets of armor from Pei County was also put on by the warriors here.

Duke Lu Yang could be considered to be able to distinguish between good and bad, he didn't ask about matters that were right here, and he seemed to let go of everything.

One is that he has an old relationship with Mozi and knows the methods of Mozi.The second is that the matter has come to this point, and there is really no other way to rely on it.

By mid-August, the defense of the new city relying on the original city wall was basically completed.

There is no need to consider the enemy's shelling, but some protruding corners and starbursts were added, moats were dug, hidden weapons such as "dogs walking" were placed, and pits were prepared.

The city wall, which was originally just rammed earth, was built much faster than this, but Shi still organized people, fired a batch of red bricks, and reinforced some places that needed reinforcement or were easy to break through.

In addition, when building the city wall for defense, the people of the Mohists focused on talking about some of the happy land of the Mohism, and also talked about the situation in Peixian County and other places.

Especially the group of hundreds of people who are in contact with firearms is suitable for training. If the defense battle can be completed and these people can survive, they will be the first group of people who really use gunpowder tubular weapons to fight.Although they used hand cannons, copper blunderbuss and other long-barreled matchlock guns that were not suitable for the volunteers in Peixian County, they were still a group of people who had actually fought. Pei County.

During this period, in addition to the morals of the Mohist school, they also talked about some laws and decrees of the Mohist school for guarding the city, collected food, prepared a list, and burned the trees around the city.

By the end of August, when those who watched the village in the north discovered the movement of the Jin and Zheng divisions, the defense system of Niu Lanyi had been completed.

The [-] households in the city, plus the nearly [-] households outside the city, have all gathered in the city.

Ten small-caliber bronze cannons, and two large-caliber short-barrel stone mortar cannons that are forced to the current technical level.

There are twenty small shotguns similar to Huzun cannons that are small in size and can spray sand and gravel, all of which are reinforced with iron sheets.

Ten pine cannons that can only be used three or five times and reinforced with iron hoops.

There are more than [-] simple firearms of all kinds.

There were 150 crossbowmen sent by Duke Luyang, and 80 local shooters who were good at shooting from the countryside.

There are ten sets of iron armor, and there are more than 40 warriors who are good at assaulting and killing, not counting the Mozhe.

A variety of iron, pottery, and huge wooden frames are loaded with many stone gunpowder mines for throwing down.

The entire city wall of Niu Lanyi is completely inconsistent with the "Zhou Ritual" and is no longer a standard square shape. Instead, it surrounds the original old wall, adding "walking walls", "horse faces", and some prominent Starburst, and a fort rammed with mud.

The gates of the city were also strengthened according to Mozi's "Miscellaneous Shou", adding double doors, and preparing some small and side doors that can be attacked.

All the wells outside the city were filled, and the city wall near the river was also reinforced with masonry, and a large amount of wood and food were piled up in the city in an orderly manner.

This time it was completely different from the battle of Shangqiu. From the very beginning, the battle of Shangqiu had made a plan to show the enemy weakness and wait for the opportunity to pounce through the formation, because at that time, they didn't want to wait for reinforcements from the Three Jins.

But Niu Lanyi's plan from the beginning was to defend to the death, until the attacking party was exhausted.Or... sticking to it until the inferred Zheng Han conflict broke out, let him retreat on his own.

It would be strange if this kind of multinational coalition forces, especially the multinational coalition forces that usually have blood feuds, can fully cooperate.

As long as the guards are resolute, as long as the gunpowder weapons can shock these people to a certain extent, it will be considered a success.

The Mohists can also make a big publicity, which once again makes the princes look sideways and shakes the world.

The more shocking the better, and the stronger the shock, Wei Han didn't dare to have any strange thoughts about Pei County of the Mo family in the Song state, because they were afraid that they would force the Mo family, which could shake the world, to the Chu state.

So the harder the fight here, the safer the other side. At that time, the monarch will still smile on his face and say a few words of benefit to the world.

While waiting for the arrival of the Shanxi-Zhengjiang Allied Forces, the people from the Propaganda Department finally started to do their jobs. After organizing the people together with the help of the city defenders, they launched a vigorous propaganda work.

…………

At the beginning of September, more than [-] people from Jinzheng coalition forces approached Niulanyi.

Mohist, who was investigating in advance, counted the number of stove pits on the other side, and judged the approximate number of people.However, most of the 7 people were farmers and soldiers, and Xihe soldiers were not mobilized, and half of them were counted as luggage.

This time the commander of the Wei army is Gong Zijian, the commander of the Han army is the deputy commander Qiang Qiang who attacked Qi last time, and the commander of the Zheng army is Zima.

There are [-] chariots in total, and [-] chariots and baggage carts, which can be claimed to be [-] chariots.

This time the expedition has actually missed the best time, but there is nothing that countries can do.

Wei Siming knew that it was impossible for Zhao Guo to participate in this matter, but he had to guard against Zhao Guo's sneak attack from behind. He could only send envoys to Zhao Capital after Wu Qi defeated the Qin people who seized Xihe, and told about the joint efforts of the Three Jins. reason.

In fact, South Korea hopes to start the war in Daliang. In that case, the closer territory can occupy several cities and expand its own strength.

Because Zheng Guo had taken the lead and captured Yuguan, and this time Zheng's division entered Prince Ding, Zheng Guo also sent out only 5000 people on the grounds that Yuguan was afraid of Yangcheng Lord's counterattack.

The State of Wei hoped to break through the Lu Pass and cause internal turmoil in Chu, so as to maintain its hegemony.In Weiss' view, Chu State is Wei State's biggest enemy after his own death. He can't see the possible rise of the Qin people at all, and no one believes that the Qin State will rise in the future under the current situation.

Wei Guo wanted future advantages and hegemony, Han Zheng wanted land in the cities that he could get in reality, and Young Master Ji hoped that he could be the Qin Mugong of the past and support a monarch to ascend the throne.

After arguing with each other, they have delayed sending troops until now, giving them enough opportunities to improve the city defense.
