warring states careerist

Chapter 365
It seems like a small thing.

But it was this little thing that made King Shuqing, the company representative of Mohist who drove ducks to the shelves, start a lot of work afterwards, and starting from this little thing, he himself became more and more aware of his responsibility and the future world.

After that, every once in a while, he needs to study after training, or open his eyes to see the world.

From the good governance of the "promised land" in the age of blood and blood, to the good governance of the happy land of slash-and-burn farming, to the good governance of the happy land of today's iron tools and cattle farming.

From Yao, Shun and Yu Tang, to the feudal system, and then to why the feudal system is needed.

From King Wu's defeat of Zhou to the origin of the princes of the world today.

From the north and south of the world, to the great rivers and rivers.

Every month, King Shuqing looked at the world that was far away thousands of miles from the barracks, and gradually set his sights beyond Pei County.

It's scary.

Before that, the world in the eyes of farmers was only thirty miles around their own home, and it had nothing to do with them further away.

But now, not to mention thirty miles, but three thousand miles, King Shuqing still feels that it is also within the scope of the "world" of the Mohist school.

He knew the names, family background, and ugly deeds of the princes of the world today.

He knew the irrationality of the system in today's world, and those things that seemed to be taken for granted before are not so taken for granted at all.

In addition to these, in addition to training, the company also organizes learning about farming and various crafts from time to time, so that everyone who joins the volunteer division can learn a lot of things that were difficult to access in the past.

From the beginning to the end, King Shuqing finally understood that sentence that sounded a bit awkward.

"War is for the sake of not fighting again in the future."

He understood, and the soldiers gradually understood who he was, why he fought, and what the world that would be most beneficial to him would look like in the future.

And... what is the purpose of this war with Yue, and what will happen if it fails - the consequences that everyone may have to bear.

...In this way, the life of the barracks represented by King Shuqing's ink company, with the novelty of acquiring knowledge every day, went through autumn and winter through repeated and exhausting training, and came to spring.

In a few months, King Shuqing also heard a lot of new things.

There is sadness and joy.Some are close at hand, and some are far away.

The artillery of the ink master next door exploded during training, two ink masters were killed, and several others were disabled.

The engineers in the nearby barracks dug holes all day long and learned how to dig a tunnel close to the city wall. It is said that a big snake was dug out.

There are three or four hundred rangers and rangers who responded to the call of the Mohists from all over the world and came to Peixian County to help the Mohism as friends. The stories of many of them sound extremely shocking, and many of them are excellent in swordsmanship.

For the cavalry of Master Mo, a company was equipped with new iron swords instead of the original copper swords.

Just after the new year, the organization's logistics folks have begun to transport a large amount of food, gunpowder, etc. to the country of Teng, and at the same time transport them to the three newly built forts.

Farther away, Wei and Chu are now facing each other on the front line of Daliang. Both sides are increasing their troops, and each has recruited 7 to [-] people. No one dares to move first, and they are all waiting for the opportunity to prepare logistics.

Qi Guotian sent people to Pei County, and they came with great fanfare, as if to show Yue Guo.

The civil strife in Zheng still persists, and Si Ziyang's remnant party, with the support of Wei State, launched a coup against the king of Zheng Guo and the Taizai's peace with Chu, vowing to avenge Si Ziyang and expel Zheng Gong.

These things, whether far away or close at hand, did not affect the practice of the righteous teachers, but only affected the vision of everyone in the volunteer teachers. Some people have begun to argue about the outcome of the Jin-Chu confrontation, and this was originally only for the princes and nobles. thing.

By February, the company's muskets were finally distributed and an assessment was conducted.

In this assessment, King Shuqing's company received a "Under Armor" rating, which is already extremely high.

Under the armor, there is a standard.

This includes keeping still for two hours after forming a queue.

When the whole team is moving forward, it can reach a level of [-] steps and stop the whole team.

Walking forward in formation, you can travel thirty miles a day, and you can complete camping and other things.

The musketeer was able to advance and retreat on command, complete the reload, and complete the firing with the noise of drums all around.

Able to hit the target in thirty steps.

One person randomly selected from the company can know a hundred commonly used characters, and at the same time can add and subtract within a hundred.

There are not many companies that have won the first class, and King Shuqing and Yu Tu can be a little proud.

However, he knew that compared to the most elite brigade among Mo teachers, they were still far behind.The brigade that joined with the goal of voluntarily benefiting the world, there are a lot of Mohists, veterans, and some homeless people who were originally extremely poor. The proportion of Mohism is too high, which has created the only army in the army. Armored brigade.

This time, not only volunteers from Pei County participated in the assessment, but volunteers from Pengcheng, Tengdi, and Liuyi all participated.

The location of the assessment was not at the Peixian military camp, but in the desert near Liuyi, and the assessment including marching was completed during the process.

This is also the first time that King Shuqing saw a neat army of nearly 3 people. After the assembly this time, all the volunteer troops gathered and stationed near Peiguo.

At the beginning of March, news came that King Yi of Yue called a meeting of monarchs from the vassal states of Ni, Zou, and Fei, and formally told the Mohists that this time they wanted to crusade against the Mohists and take back Teng.

The mobilization of the army has already started, the brigade commanders gathered for a meeting, and the top Mohists held a meeting for a few days before the big battle as usual.

One day in mid-March, King Shuqing was chatting with a few soldiers in the camp. He was about to cut wheat and sow beans, or harvest potatoes and plant corn. Many people felt homesick, so they couldn't help talking about some things at home.

The messengers from the brigade ran over, called King Shuqing and Yu Tu away, and told them to go to the camp immediately because they had something to do.

When the two put down what they were doing and rushed to the brigade commander's camp, they realized in their hearts that a war might be about to start.

Not long after entering, everyone from each company had arrived, and the brigade commander and Liu Zhi told them to close the door after seeing that they were all there.

The people present looked at the posture and understood something, and couldn't help but ask: "But it's going to war? Didn't you say that the Yue Kingdom just wanted to ally with those princes of the small country?"

These people have also learned the differences in the military systems of various countries, and they know that it takes time for Yue to mobilize the army.

The alliance of the small princes was also to demonstrate the military strength of the Yue State and maintain its hegemony in the Sishui River Basin. At the same time, it was also to allow those small princes to send troops and prepare food and grass supplies.

Liuzhi asked with a smile: "Why, you fight early and late, you have to fight, what's the surprise?"

What these words mean is that they have tacitly agreed to start a war.

King Shuqing said: "It's not that I'm afraid. The wheat will be harvested and the summer will be planted soon. Now that the war is going on, a lot of manpower will be needed to follow... It would be a pity if the crops that have worked hard for half a year are not harvested."

When he said this, many people also said yes.

Liuzhi said: "You are right, Juzi and Wuhai have also considered this situation. April is coming soon, if the Yue people complete the alliance, they may send troops immediately, which will have a great impact on us."

"So, after discussing with the higher-ups, it was decided...to strike first."

"We have already sent people to Ni, Fei and other countries to inform their kings that the King of Yue is a warlike king. The restoration of the Teng Kingdom is a righteous thing no matter from the perspective of the old rules or the benefit of the people."

"So, if they participate in the alliance, it is 'unrighteous'."

Speaking of this, Liuzhi smiled and said: "It's just that Yue is a powerful country, and these small countries dare not violate it. Therefore, since they are unrighteous, we must attack them in the process of their alliance."

"One, it can let the people of these small countries know the righteousness of the Mohist school. Second, it can also let them know that although the Yue country is strong, the righteous teachers in the world are not weak."

"Three..."

Liuzhi got up and said, "Three is because we are busy with summer harvest and planting, so it is best to postpone this battle until July or even later. Therefore, we need to take the initiative to strike first, disrupt this alliance, and disrupt the alliance." Send troops from Vietnam."

"It's not a decisive battle, but a quick attack with an elite division. In the process of the Yue Nationality Alliance, with six brigades of infantry, marched lightly, broke through several cities, and disrupted the preparations of the Yue people. For our main force Buy time, and also buy time for summer harvest and summer planting, and try to delay the decisive battle until July and August."

"It has been decided. Our brigade is among the six brigades that have been transferred. It is suitable for the commander of the Eastern Expedition. We will fight in the east of Teng State. During the alliance, we will add something to King Yi of Yue to lure the Yue people to 'busy firefighting'. Those who attack the enemy must be saved."

"If you want to gain hegemony, the king of Yue has to consider the danger of these alliances with small countries."

No matter how many strategies and plans there are, there is no need to go into too much detail. King Shuqing heard some problems and asked: "Six brigades... lightly armed, so this time there will be no cavalry and artillery to follow?"

Liu Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, no. Only engineers followed. They didn't make preparations for field battles, but just broke down the city to disrupt the plan of the Yue Guo League and delay their sending troops into Teng, Pei County."

"As long as we go fast and attack the city quickly, the Yue people's army can only follow behind and catch us. Don't worry. To break the city, as far as the Mo division's engineers are concerned, it may take only three to five days to break through those small cities. Yap. Let the countries know that we have the ability to break through the city for a few days, and let them stop the idea of ​​​​refusing to defend the city, so that they can be mobilized to follow behind us."
