warring states careerist

Chapter 322 Is it as good as before to restore the country with strength ([-])

When the two great powers were intensively preparing for Chu's succession and the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains, Shi also returned to Pei County from Luyang.

It was already June when he arrived in Pei County, the battle of Niu Lanyi, and the changes in the world situation, the Mohists who nested in Pei County could finally let go of their hands and feet.

The focus of disputes in the world is Zheng Guo.

In the battle of Niu Lanyi, Wei Guoming knew that the Mohists went into battle shirtless, but because of Niu Lanyi's solid defense, he took the opportunity to publicize the technical advantages of the Mohist sect and made people fearful, which made the Mohist sect even safer.

Wei Hou not only did not criticize the Mohists, but instead sent envoys to talk with the Mohists, prepared all kinds of gifts, and spoke nicely, hoping that the Mohists could sell some of the equipment used to defend the city.

Because Wei Guo didn't want to be the leader, let alone force the Mo family to the side of Chu State.The Mohist's technology, organizational skills, and forward-looking gunpowder weapons displayed in the First Battle of Niu Lanyi gave the Mohist enough chips to walk among the princes.

What's more, the state of Wei is not capable of attacking Pei County now, let alone persecute the state of Song, because that is equivalent to forcing the state of Song to the side of Chu.

Looking at it now, the Mohists can have at least ten years of stability in Pei County, and this period of time was created by the conflicts between the major powers.

Since Pei County is the foundation of the Mohist School, it will also penetrate into the rear of the Chu State in the future. At this time, it must take advantage of the rare ten years to expand abroad.

On the way back, Shi had already drawn up a statement to the Mohist Central Committee.

Five or six years ago, Teng Shuyu, who was beaten by the Mohists during the abolition of prostitution in Peixian County, and shot by Qin Huali with his superb archery skills, it's time to play the value of his survival.

Qin Huali was not stupid Teng Shuyu back then, and asked him to go to Teng to contact the nobles of Teng.

At the same time, Teng Township has been infiltrating into the Teng Kingdom occupied by the Yue Kingdom. Teng is a small country, and the Mohists' infiltration methods cannot be stopped by the Yue Kingdom's control at this time.

And the Mohist who went to Wu at the same time as Qisui who went to Shu, had already made friends with many old nobles of Wu, and gradually gained a foothold there.

In this case, it is necessary to use the existing rules to expand the Mohist sphere of influence without calling out the real Mohist rules.

The Mohist family needs time, otherwise even if it becomes a major event in the future, there will not be enough talents who have received new education, and the final political power will still be usurped by the nobles: At this time, the number of the Mohist family is not to mention the world, and even a Chu country cannot fully follow the plan The country in China looks like it is in control.

Ten years can cultivate enough talents, but this ten years cannot do nothing, but to continuously expand power, expand land, expand army, and expand wealth.

It has been more than ten years since Teng State was destroyed by Zhu Gou of Yue State. The powerful old aristocrats have died of old age, and they have been unable to turn the sky.

But they have one thing that the Mohists can borrow - their blood.

The Mohists opposed the theory of blood lineage, but the princes of the world still recognized it. At this time, it was too early to make the slogan of stabilizing the world and fighting against the princes of the whole world, so the blood of the descendants of the nobles of the Teng Kingdom could be borrowed.

To help... Teng Guo restore the country, the princes of the world will not say anything, maybe the Emperor Zhou will send someone to celebrate.How to put it...Teng Guo is also surnamed Ji, and the founding monarch is the fourteenth younger brother of King Wu.

And the Yue people would never go to see the Emperor Zhou at all. Although the Emperor Zhou was already in name only, at least he could take full control of the Teng Kingdom in this name and symbolically use the last sliver of the Emperor Zhou's face.

With the help of external forces to restore the country, the Mohists began to infiltrate Teng country early. The old nobles of Teng country have lost much power after more than ten years of waiting for the country to subjugate, and it is impossible to shake the sky.

The external situation is again focused on the Jin-Chu struggle for hegemony, and there is no better opportunity for the Mohists in Peixian County than this.

What needs to be considered is the country of Yue.

However, the disciples of the Mohists who were active in Wu would speed up the time for the Yue Kingdom to withdraw to the south. The Yue Kingdom moved the capital to Linyi.

The goal of the State of Yue moving its capital to Linyi was the State of Qi, and a few years ago when the Three Jins conquered Qi, they also achieved their goal: let the Marquis of Qi drive for the King of Yue, ceded the two cities of Jianyang and Juling, and by the way, many people from Qi did it. slave.

However, Qi State is not as weak as it seems.

Although Qi State seems to be weak, the trauma of the battle of Linqiu has begun to heal. Although the Tian brothers are still fighting for power, Tian Hao and Tian He joined forces to overwhelm the rest of the Tian family factions.

Gongsunhui openly rebelled to the Jin Dynasty, and all his factions followed.

The Xiangziniu rebellion has also been quelled.

Tian Haotian and his brothers will definitely have many coups in the future, but at this time they need to work together to fight against the remnants of Marquis Qi, find a way to legalize the Tian regime, and completely abolish Marquis Qi.

In the past, he wanted to use the invasion of Yue to humiliate Qihou, which made Qihou lose all face. Coupled with the chaos of Xiangziniu and Gongsunhui, Qi seemed extremely weak.

In fact, it was because the Tian clan was not willing to fight the battle of Linqiu at all, and it was more like using the battle of Linqiu to clear up the internal disputes between Qihou and Tian clan.

Now that the disputes are gradually subsiding, in another eight years, Qi will be formally appointed as a prince by the emperor. At that time, Qi State will get involved in the Surabaya River Basin, especially Yue State will soon withdraw to the south.

The Mohists don't have much time, and they must completely gain control of the small vassal state of Surabaya and expand their strength before the stability of Qi State and the withdrawal of Yue State to the south.

Whether it is to help restore the country or evade the princes, in short, within the framework of the rules of the old era, all means must be used.

The three Jins are busy with the new king and new policies, and are busy fighting with Chu. Qi has had a chance to breathe, and now the pressure on Yue will increase.

If the Mo family can take advantage of this opportunity to gain control of the Teng country, the Yue country will not dare to use all its strength to retaliate against the Qi country. This is entirely an opportunity.

And if the situation is opened up here, the life of the Yue Kingdom in the north will not be easy, and it will speed up the time for the Yue Kingdom to withdraw to the south.

The most perfect situation is that after the Yue State retreats southward, Qi State has just recovered, and the Mohists have basically controlled the small vassal states such as Teng, Xue, Zong, Yi, Pi, etc., making Qi State powerless and forcing Qi State’s energy to Central Plains.

This time period must be locked well. If it is too early, it will be retaliated by Yue, and if it is too late, it will fight against the recovering Qi.

…………

After returning to Daopei County, after reporting the big and small things about Niu Lanyi, he revealed his thoughts to the senior Mohists, thinking that this was already an opportunity.

When Wu Zhu was being dealt with back then, the top Mohists had already made a plan to develop in Surabaya, which was why Qin Huali didn't shoot and kill Teng Shuyu.

The establishment of Jin Teng Township is more like telling the Yue people blatantly that the next goal of the Mo family is Teng State.

Moreover, the Mohist school needs more excellent cadres, and more experienced cadres. The larger the territory, the more opportunities for experience, and it can also make the world's nobles more willing to approach the Mohist school-after all, they can become officials.

The toss between Chu State and Niu Lanyi is just to seek a more perfect external environment for the Mohist school. Now that this goal has been achieved, it also makes the princes of the world more recognize the special status of the Mohist family and dare not move lightly.

At the meeting, after Shi finished talking about his own thoughts, as well as his judgment on the world situation and future direction, everyone also showed excitement.

Seeing that there was no one to speak first, Qin Huali, as the person who shot Teng Shuyu but did not kill him, said first: "I think the appropriate idea is feasible."

"He has already mentioned the situation of Qi and Yue. Now the people of Chu are attacking Zheng, and the people of Jin and Chu are fighting for hegemony. They will not pay attention to Surabaya for a few years. This is the right time."

"We have developed in Peixian County for several years. The accent of Tengdi is similar to that of Peidi, and the habits are similar. The distance is only more than a hundred miles. This is the geographical advantage."

"But we mostly infiltrated in the town of Teng, and many farmers from the Teng country fled to Teng. Teng Shuyu and others contacted the nobles in Teng, and the customs of the Yue people are very different from those in the Central Plains. This is harmony."

"The right time, place and people are available, and this is the right thing to do."

In fact, apart from what Qin Huali said, there is another important condition for this person.

In the past few years, the Mohism has expanded rapidly. The number of people has expanded from the original 500 to more than [-] official members and more than [-] backup candidates. .

Not counting Pengcheng, the number of volunteers in Pei County has expanded to [-], and they have been practicing for a year and a half.

There are not only locals from Peixian County, but also some untouchables or landless people who were "tricked" from various countries, and more than 300 people who have used firearms in actual combat brought back from Niulanyi.

Here, Mo Zhe and the original [-] volunteers from Peixian County are all serving as the commander of the grassroots officer Sima. It can be said that they are elite at this time, and they can just train the army.

The situation of the Yue Kingdom in Tengdi, because the distance is too short and the preparations for future control were made seven or eight years ago, it can be said to be well known.

There is only a garrison of no more than 2000 people.

Teng Shuyu and other local down-and-out nobles in Teng State were active internally again, and Yue State could not mobilize enough farmers and soldiers at all, and it was even possible to turn against the water internally.

Because the Mohists have been infiltrating the interior of Teng country, there are many Teng people who fled from Teng Township.

Based on the righteous name of the world's rules at this time, the Mohists also have: help Ji's surname to restore the country.

With the [-] volunteers from Pei County, attacking the [-] garrisons of the Yue State, coupled with the aspirations of the people in the State of Teng and the activities of the nobles, it is simply as easy as pie.

It's just that the timing of the battle must be well grasped. After the capture of Teng, there is enough time to complete a series of changes. At the same time, strengthen the defense of Teng, build a new city defense system, and prepare for Yue's counterattack.

During this period, it is still necessary to go to the Qi State for activities, take advantage of the many disciples of the Qi State within the Mohist School, contact the Tian brothers, and get them ready to wave the flag.

As long as it can sustain a wave of revenge from the Yue Kingdom, the situation will be greatly improved.

One thing is that Qi State is not threatened by the Three Jins, and when Yue State is found to be defeated, Tian's internal stability is temporarily stable, and he will not let go of the opportunity to threaten Yue State.

Second, once the Yue State's counterattack against Tengdi was defended, the Mohists who were active in Wudi and the old nobles of Wuguo in Wudi would react soon.

Therefore, the whole problem has become extremely simple: capture Teng, use about a year to consolidate the city defense, and may face a counterattack of about [-] Vietnamese troops.

If you can hold it, the situation in Surabaya will be completely alive.Those countries such as Zhuang and Tan that were destroyed by Yue were also under the control of Mohism.
