warring states careerist

Chapter 328 Is it as good as before to restore the country with strength ([-])
In this plan, there is also a simple map he drew after going to Tengdi.

The thickness of the city gate, the soil quality outside the city gate, the hydrology of the Jinghe River and the Xiaojing River, etc. are all clearly written.

This point is beyond the reach of other Mohists, and it can be regarded as the knowledge of later generations. At this time, such advance planning similar to the staff technique is rarely used in wars.

After the plan was circulated, Mozi said: "Everything is complete. If there are no accidents, it will be very good to fight like this."

He looked at the others, and Qin Huali also said: "It is indeed excellent. Even if there is a change in the middle of the battle, I think Shi is also a person who is good at changing. This time in the battle of Liteng, I think Shi is the most suitable to lead the third brigade .”

Mozi nodded slightly, said what he thought was the right reason, and said: "After capturing Teng, we have to guard against the Yue people's counterattack and build the city wall. This is very appropriate. Shi Jiatun can count on it, and the follow-up How much food and money do we need to consume? Are there enough agricultural tools for the people in Tengdi to put into production immediately? Can Tengdi feel the benefits of the change as soon as possible?"

Shi Jiatun hurriedly said: "I've been looking for me before, and I've already figured it out. He said that I, who is in charge of money and food, should pay in advance for this kind of thing. We can hold on, and we can fully support the rapid changes in Tengdi. Whether it is food , seeds, and agricultural tools are basically enough. It’s just that the number of cattle and horses is temporarily insufficient, and this should be able to make up part of it after the Wei people trade with us.”

Mozi looked at the other people again, and the others also felt that it was appropriate for Shi to do this, so they agreed that this time Shi would be the commander in chief, Meng Sheng would be the deputy second, and the other three brigade commanders and the officials of the Paoqi would follow the Mohist's rules. As a rule, they are both members of the front command, and any impromptu changes need to be discussed and voted on by these people.

…………

Near the end of the new year, several Mohists who followed Hu Feizi to Langya and Linzi rode back on horseback and reported that Hu Feizi had met Yue Wangyi a month ago and was heading to Linzi at this time.

The Mo family had many connections with the Yue State. Gong Shangguo once lobbied the King of Yue to seek a fief of five hundred miles for Mozi. Of course, it was also because Gongshuban put too much pressure on the State of Yue. The King of Yue had always known the abilities of the Mo family.

Although the current king of Yue is not Zhu Gou, but his son Yi, when he heard that Hu Feizi of the Mohist school was going, he immediately held a banquet in honor of him.

During the dinner, he inquired about Mozi's body, reviewed the demeanor he had seen Gongshang when he was a prince, and lamented the great events of the Mo family in the past few years, and asked Hu Feizi what he was going to do in Qi.

Hu Feizi only said that he wanted to persuade the Tian family to treat the people well, follow the will of heaven, and implement good governance, etc. He also said that he brought a thousand pieces of ironware to Qi to sell.

During the period, Hu Feizi publicized the two battles between Shangqiu and Niu Lanyi, and showed the firearms he carried with him, which made Yue Wangyi panic.

He had already heard about the situation in Wu. Some Mohists went deep into the hinterland of Wu and Yue. At the beginning, they just spread some memories and improved people's livelihood. The local people thought it was good.

Later, news continued to come in, saying that the old nobles of the state of Wu there were frequently walking with the Mohists there, and that the ironware transported by the Mohists along the Hangou was very convenient for reclamation and cultivation. The power of the Mohists built ditches in the fief, and there was no danger of floods or droughts.

This has shocked King Yi of Yue a little. Although the Yue Kingdom looks beautiful now, he also enjoyed the glory of Qihou and Luhou driving in the car, but he understands that the Yue Kingdom is already at the end of its strength, and there is no way to have any big things Progress has been made.

Moreover, after the first battle in Niu Lanyi, everyone in the world knew that the Mo family had gone to Chu, and King Yi of Yue was also worried about what Chu would do in the east at this time.

Now that Hu Feizi is still here, although he doesn't know exactly what to do, Yue Wangyi still vaguely feels uneasy.

He also deliberately asked Hu Feizi what the Mo family wanted to do when they entered Wu. Hu Feizi only said to spread morality and heavenly will to benefit the people.

After Hu Feizi stayed in Langya for a few days, before going to Linzi, he sent these people back to Pei County to report the news according to the previous agreement.

Hearing this news, he said conveniently: "In my opinion, the New Year has passed, spring plowing in February, summer harvest in May, I think it's time to start in March."

"One is that the weather is warm and there is less rain, which is suitable for battle. The other is to avoid the summer harvest, and there is less wheat planting in Tengdi. After being busy, you can repair the city wall, issue laws and divide the land, just in time for planting winter wheat."

"Based on Yue's reaction, if they send a small number of troops, we are not afraid. If they send more troops, they have to prepare food and grass in advance, and Hu Feizi enters Qi. The King of Yue must think that the affairs of Teng State are controlled by Qi State later, and we also need to be prepared. people."

"The more brilliant our victory here, the less the king of Yue dared to send only a small number of troops to counterattack and affect the production in Teng. The more brilliant our victory here, the more worried he was that Qi would be able to capture Langya with our help."

"So this matter, Mrs. Tian has to recite it for us if she doesn't want to. And if we can defeat the Yue Kingdom, Mrs. Tian will take the initiative to stand up and applaud us."

Tengdi is too close to Peixian County, but it is only more than a hundred miles away, so it can really be regarded as the arrival of the morning.If it is March, it will be neither too early nor too late.

After a proper analysis, everyone agrees. There is no one in the Mohist who opposes for the sake of opposition. It is obvious that it is most appropriate to send troops at the end of March.

Mo Zi pondered for a moment and said: "Shi, you are leading the army this time. Although you are in charge of the military travel, don't forget your duty. The Xuanyi Department must explain clearly why you are fighting and why it is beneficial to the world. But... Also pay attention to the wording, don't make the princes of the world angry, for the time being, we are nothing but chicken eggs, they are stones."

Shi said: "I know this. You can use Ji Te's mouth to make a publicity. He invited us to send troops to do justice, which is enough to prevent the princes of the world from questioning."

"After all, the Xuanyi Department is just talking. It still needs a large number of Mohists or tourists who can divide the land and teach farming to enter Tengdi. The grain seeds and ironware from Shijiatun and Gongzao must not be delayed."

Both of them expressed the problem of awareness, and Mozi also said that he could send about [-] Mohists and tourists to Teng to fill the vacuum of officials and spread the law, knowledge and technology.

Shi thought for a while and said: "Teng Shuyu and the old people in Tengdi should also inform them and let them prepare."

"But those of us in the public eye over there have to withdraw as soon as possible. Once the news leaks out, the mills and food shops in our public face will be captured and killed by the Yue people."

"I suggest that Luo Xiaoli and General Qu go to Tengdi first, inform Teng Shuyu, and then take our people back."

These words were extremely reasonable, but in fact they contained evil intentions. He was sure that a person like Teng Shuyu would not be too tightly organized.

Teng Shuyu is a man of the market, not an aristocrat who is immersed in conspiracy all day long. It is not suitable for such a person to engage in conspiracy activities.

Once everyone gathers to make an oath, some people will definitely worry that the army of Yue will come and go to inform. This is an unavoidable situation, and it is easy to make omissions.

Moreover, he also asked Teng Shuyu to draw up a list of oaths. With the organizational skills of those people, once they are discovered, it will be a disaster.

The old aristocrats in Tengdi were removed by the hands of the Yue people, and there was only a naked Ji Te left. This is the most perfect situation.

Now that Pei County already has enough bureaucrats to fill the small Teng land, and has iron tools to break the system of enfeoffment in well fields, Shi really wonders what role the so-called nobles have besides being "fish worms".

…………

Half a month later, Pei County had already started to mobilize, the Propaganda Department began to promote and agitate, and Ji Te, who was "studying" in Pei County, also began to appear frequently, but for the time being, he did not make a final request.

Tengcheng.

Qu Jiang brought some Mohists and sent Teng Shuyu some gunpowder mines and daggers. Then, in the name of possible danger, he temporarily handed over the Mo family's property in Teng to Teng Shuyu and his market partners. All the inkmen withdrew overnight.

Teng Shuyu now has a sword, gunpowder and thunder in his hand, and he is very excited when he gets the news that the Mohists will send troops to "Li Teng Guo Wan Min" at the invitation of "Teng Hou Gong Zi Te" this spring and summer.

He has already contacted many descendants of the old nobles in Tengdi. The Mo family provided him with some funds for him to associate with these nobles before, but he did not explain what he really wanted to do.

Now that the plan has been confirmed, Teng Shuyu is ready to make a big deal, thinking that in the future he will be able to have a salary and official position in the restored Teng country.

The people don't care much about the restoration of the country, and those who care about such things are either the descendants of the old nobles, or some wanderers in the market who are planning to make a big deal.

Teng Shuyu knew that the people didn't care about the restoration of the country, and it was impossible to contact the people.

One day in February, Teng Shuyu prepared wine and dishes in the restaurant that the Mo family had withdrawn, and invited those guests who often walked around on weekdays.

There are local tycoons, some aristocrats who are now down and down, some aristocrats who temporarily serve as officials of the Yue people, and some people in the market.

These people gathered together, Teng Shuyu ordered his companions to stand guard outside, and ordered several people to stand at the door with swords.

Everyone was astonished and questioned: "Teng Shuyu, what are you going to do?"

Teng Shuyu said sharply: "Since King Wu defeated Zhou, the Duke of Zhou marched eastward, and sealed Uncle Cuoxiu in Teng, there have been 26 generations."

"The Yue people were tyrannical, the Teng country was destroyed without guilt, and the ancestral temples of the society were destroyed. Can such hatred be let go?"

Although his righteous words are reasonable and in line with the morality of the world at this time, it's just that the people present seldom make a sound.

After a long while, someone said: "Although Teng is innocent, the Yue people cut off their tattoos, barbarians. How can barbarians talk about China's politics?"

"Although we hate it, Yue is one hundred thousand, and Teng is only a country of a hundred miles. How can we stop it? Not to mention Teng, Qilu is a big country, shouldn't the king of Yue also take part in it?"

"My son fled to the Lu Kingdom, and the Marquis of Lu can't protect himself. Even if we have hatred, what can we do?"

The son this person was talking about was naturally not Ji Te who had already gone to Peidi, but the real orthodox son of succession, who fled 15 years ago and is still in Lu State and has never returned.

Qilu really dare not provoke the Yue country now, let alone help the Teng country to restore the country.

When Teng Shuyu heard this man say this, he laughed and said, "Don't forget that the grandson of Duke Kao is still here, and he has gone to Peidi to study under Mo Di. Today, I will tell you that the son has already talked about the Mohist school, and he is the son of Litendi. Expel the Yue people and restore the country of Teng!"
