warring states careerist

Chapter 399

The Yue State is a country with a somewhat backward enfeoffment system. What the King of Yue can control is actually not that big.Each of the feudal monarchs and tribal leaders has their own fiefdoms and private soldiers.

Many conditions put forward by the Mohists did not harm the interests of the Yue Kingdom too much in the view of King Yi of Yue.

The loan repayment method with principal and interest totaling 600 million shimai does not sound harmful.

According to the above suggestion, the counting starts from the day when the alliance ends and King Yi of Yue ascends the throne again.

All goods with Mohist stamps will not be taxed by Yue.Mohist cargo ships are not allowed to levy taxes when they use the rivers of the Yue Kingdom. This requires the order of King Yi of Yue. If the princes of various places disagree, they will be regarded as rebels. Two volunteers stationed near Langya to help "put down the rebellion" The brigade will be responsible for defeating it.

All of the above, for a period of 30 years, will be discounted by 100 million stones of wheat.

The Mohists have the right to exploit the Yue State's copper mine in Lingyang for a period of 30 years at a discount of 150 million stones of wheat.For Yue’s copper mine in Lingyang, the Mohists can send people to help improve the smelting and mining technology, including tunnel excavation, gunpowder for blasting mines, etc. The Mohist has the right of first purchase of these copper ingots, and the payment is made with grain and iron.
Lingyang is on the south coast of the Yangtze River and belongs to the State of Yue. It is the copper mine of the State of Yue and originally belonged to the State of Wu.To the north of Lingyang is the "Tongling" of later generations.

Many of the swords of the Yue Kingdom unearthed in later generations belonged to the era of King Yi of Yue. It was because of the development of the copper mines in Lingyang that the Yue Kingdom was able to compete for hegemony. Moreover, the copper mines in Lingyang were developed very early. Copper is smelted there.

It is far away from the ruling center of the Yue State, and there are people from the Nine Barbarians nearby, and the smelting technology is relatively backward.

In addition, the State of Yue assigned the Baili land near Haiyang to the Mohists for 30 years, and the price was 100 million shi of wheat. Yi, king of Yue, was directly deported and transported to Langya.

Haiyang is on the north bank of the Yangtze River estuary, and at this time it was called Yun, or Rugao.The Zuo Zhuan contains "In the 12th year of Duke Ai of Lu, Hou Wei of the guild and Emperor Yuan of Song were in Yun".The state of Wu once made alliances with Lu, Wei, and Song here, and the places where the alliances were usually held were remote and uninhabited places.

This place is near the mouth of the Yangtze River, and there is also a very romantic allusion: "In the past, Dr. Jia was evil, but he married a wife and was beautiful. For three years, he kept silent and never laughed. Smile."

The state of Jia was destroyed by the state of Jin. Nanping, the doctor of Jia state, was very ugly and married a very beautiful wife, but she seldom smiled and was seldom happy.After the country of Jia fell, Dr. Jia drove to Rugao and lived with his wife in a hut, shooting pheasants to play, and his wife finally laughed.

At this time, the population was not large, but the location was dangerous, and it happened to be at the mouth of the Yangtze River. To the east was Guangling, the new city after the excavation of Hangou in Yueguo, which was later known as Yangzhou.To the east is the endless sea and Chongming Island, which has not yet been washed and accumulated, and to the south across the Yangtze River estuary is the hinterland of Yue State.

The purpose of stationing this place is to cooperate with King Yi of Yue to ensure the smooth flow of the north and south of the Yue Kingdom, and to prevent a feudal monarch from splitting the Yue Kingdom into two. After all, even Er's son can't be trusted.

In addition, it can be seen from the news that Lord Haiyang participated in Yu's rebellion, and now that King Yi of Yue is "man is a sword and I am a fish", he has to accept it if he does not accept it.Moreover, the Mo family will ship [-] shi of grain to Langya every year, which is better than before under the title of emperor.

In the end, the remaining 200 million shi were loaned, of which 100 million shi was used to buy 100 households of slaves from King Yi of Yue. Those captured in Yueshan Yueshan Mountains, these [-] slave households were converted into [-] million shi, of which [-] households were handed over to Haiyang, [-] households were handed over to Lingyang Copper Mine, and [-] households were handed over to Peixian County.

For the last 100 million stones, the king of Yue needs to provide 150 masters of Liushui, [-] craftsmen who build boats, [-] craftsmen who make swords, and [-] craftsmen who can grind crystal water jade.

The repayment of the 600 million shi loan will not hurt the country of Yue, and there are enough "reasons" for the various conditions behind it.

For example, the two brigades stationed in Langya were to help King Yi of Yue put down the rebellion, and at the same time, to make King Yi of Yue guarantee that "Moism can spread freely in the country of Yue, and the king of Yue must not interfere."In addition, there is another reason to prevent Qi from attacking Yue while taking advantage of the decline of Yue.

Now the main force of the field battle in the Yue Kingdom has been wiped out, unable to fight anymore, and the civil strife in Yue has resumed. King Yi of Yue can agree to any conditions now. He would rather give it to the Mo family than to his brothers and sons.This is the same line, as long as the seat can be regained or the coup is successful, such things as Gaojing being robbed by barbarians and Didi have existed since ancient times.

And this new way of expansion, Yue Wangyi didn't know how terrible the harm would be. Considering the actions of the Mohists with the idea of ​​the feudal system in the past, he felt that he had made a lot of money, and suddenly thought that the Mohism would be beneficial to the heart of the world.

In fact, it is not satisfied with this treaty, or the monsters on the land controlled by the Mohist are very dissatisfied.

Because the productivity of Yue is too backward, and because under the aristocratic enfeoffment and serfdom system, although the population of Yue is large, the market is too small, and there is not enough surplus food to participate in commodity exchange. If the aristocrats are not killed and the land is divided to expand the market, the monster will never be satisfied. .

It's just that the power of the Mohists is not enough to swallow the country of Yue, and there are not enough low-level officials under the new system, so they can only choose this expedient measure.

King Yi of Yue just felt that the repayment amount was a little too big, and the Mohists also specified that they would not need food, pearls and jade, so he could only hold his nose and accept the loan agreement.

It's okay to let the Mohist infiltrate, but if the Qi State goes south, it will not be so simple.Furthermore, my younger brother has already had a coup d'état, and my son has already fled south. If I don't have the help of the Mo family, my younger brother, needless to say, I am afraid that my son will not recognize me. At that time, it may not be impossible for the nobles of the Wu people to use their son's blame to restore the country.

After careful consideration, he finally agreed: "I can agree to these conditions. It's just about the alliance, which requires Sanjin's consent..."

Shi said calmly: "There is no need for you to worry about it. I, the Mohist family, will negotiate on matters concerning the Three Jin Dynasties."

King Yi of Yue said again: "You are neither a senior official nor a doctor. Such an alliance is unprecedented."

He was originally just a slight emotion, but Shi immediately retorted: "In ancient times, wise men who knew the will of heaven were selected as the emperor, princes, ministers, and doctors... Besides, the Mo family is representing the nine kingdoms of Sishang this time." Why not go to the alliance?"

King Yi Weiwei of Yue said embarrassingly: "The alliance needs chariots and horses, and guards of honor. If I go to the alliance alone, I am afraid that the princes and officials will laugh at me, which will insult the reputation of Yue. So... please borrow some chariots and horses."

This point is quite generous, and he can make his own decisions. He said: "If you want you to benefit the world and eliminate soldiers for the benefit of the world, so what if the Mo family lends you a hundred cars? You don't have to worry about the guard of honor, righteous teacher I will send someone to protect me."

…………

Later history contains:
In the fifth year of Zhou Anwang, Yue invaded Teng, and Mo Di thought that the Yue king was warlike and unrighteous, and invited him with [-] righteous teachers.

In July Xinsi, the volunteer teacher Chen Yushui formed several formations.He is suitable for commanding the Chinese army, Gongzao Ye will be on the left, and Meng Sheng will be on the right.

King Yi of Yue led the army in the middle with a gentleman's army, and said, "There must be no ink today!"

In the battle, the more the warriors lead the division, the righteous division fires all guns and guns, not fighting.

Fighting with drums, the more you use a hundred and two chariots to attack the righteous division left, you can't.The righteous division went to the left with shelling, and the more they collapsed, the righteous division thought it was pretending to be north and refused to chase.General Yi attacked the Righteous Division with the Junzi Army on the right side, but was unable to overcome it. General Gong Zaoye attacked from the left, and Yi fled and was captured by the generals.

In the eighth month, the people of Yue made Yu the king, and with the hope of the Mohists, Yu Tuyi's two sons, and the sons and sons, fled to Wu.

In the ninth month of Xinsi, Mo Zhai wanted to form an alliance to eliminate soldiers and non-attacks, so he sent disciples such as Wei to sue the Marquis of Wei.

The Marquis of Wei conspired with the great officials, and Duan Ganmu said: "Bing, a catastrophe for a small country, is what Sishang seeks. The Mohists defeated Yue, and what they did was not to attack but to benefit the world. This is the righteousness of the world. Yue, Su and the Jin alliance To control Qi, the more defeated, the Qi people will be stupid. The Mohists will survive if they do not attack. Let it be."

Wei Hou Xuzhi.Such as Han, Han also agreed.

Such as Qi, Qi people are difficult, want to take Langya, and restore the humiliation of Qufu.Tian Hao said: "Wei and Han Xuzhi, I can't get it. And the countries will eliminate their soldiers, but I will take our people with me! How will I use it? Not to mention the sharpness of the firearms of the Mo family and the strength of the armor. Although the Yue people are weak, I am afraid that the Mo family will help them. Wei Han has promised, if I do not agree, I am afraid that the defeat of Linqiu will repeat itself."

The Qi people promised it.Tell Zhao, and Zhao agrees.They all told Xiaoguo that they would meet in Mengzhu.

On Jiachen in the winter moon, Wei Zhaihuang went to Mengzhu.Bingwu, Emperor Zangzhi of Song Dynasty.Ding Wei, Han Xia was exhausted.Wushen, Zhao Xunxin, Qi Tian and Zhi.Jiayin, Mo Zhai is suitable for both poultry, slippery, and scorpions.Bingchen, Marquis of Lu, Marquis of Zhu, Nizi, Marquis of Teng, Doctor Fei, and Marquis Xue all arrived.On Renxu, King Yi of Yue arrived.

Xinsi, allied with Mengzhu.

The alliance of princes said: Teng, Zeng, Tan, Zhuqi, Zhongwu, and Xiang Lieguo, or the heirs of King Wen, or the sacrifices of Taihao, Shaohao, and Zhurong.Innocent, but the more they are destroyed, the country should be restored and sacrifices should be extended.The Mohist practiced Tianzhi, and the contemporary monarch governed to benefit the people of the family and country.

He also said: Yue returned Qi Jianyang and Juling, and released five thousand people from Qi who were enslaved in Yue, and they were with Mi Bing.

I will wish, I wish: Lu, Yue, and Qi will not join forces, and those who attack unjustly will be defended by the Mohists.The countries on Sishang are not attacking and fighting wars, they are communicating with each other, and the roads are not obstructed. They use Mo Zhai as their leader to plan their disagreement, build righteous divisions together and discuss disagreements.If there is this alliance, the gods will kill it.

After the alliance was over, Wei and Han sent envoys to ask the Son of Heaven again, saying that it would be impolite to take Yue in advance, and they should enter Wang Yi together.

The Mohist thought that Yu and Zhu Jiu would surely fight against the people and harm the common people, so they should return to Wang Yi.

Then he released King Yi of Yue and loaned him 600 million stones of wheat.

In the next year, the Yishi and Yue Wangshi surrounded Langya, but Yu couldn't keep it. They were burned at the east gate, and Yi Nai entered and resettled.

Return Qi Jianyang, Juling, and five thousand men and women to repair it.In the sixth month, the Yishi and the Yueshi crossed Hangou and arrived at Guangling. The blamers did not dare to fight, but tied themselves up and wept, saying they were innocent.Yi released his bondage, still standing as the prince.

In July, Han and Wei joined forces, with Wu Qi as commander, and surrounded Daliang.Duke Luyang of Chu and Luyang rescued Daliang, and fought against the Jin division under the city of Daliang.In the battle, Wu Qi attacked them with artillery, the left army of Chu, Ping Yejun, died, and the Chu division was in chaos.

Lord Luyang, Lord Pingye, and Lord Yangcheng, the three rulers who held Guigui and You Yin Zhaozhi died.Jun Shaoliang retreated to Daliang and defended it, Wu Qi besieged it but did not attack it, Ye Gongshuai's county division rescued Daliang again, Wu Qi was defeated again, Chu people abandoned all their chariots, soldiers and luggage, and fled back.Immediately afterwards, Wu Qi overcame Daliang with gunpowder and captured Shaoliang Jun.

Since the king of Chu fled, Chen Renyan became the prince instead, and Chen, Xiang, Ku, Yangxia, Changping, and Anling were all appointed as kings by the prince.The people of Qi sent [-] chariots and [-] soldiers to aid Daliang. When they heard that Chu was defeated, they did not dare to fight Wu, so they returned.

Wu Qi thought that the Chu people were defeated, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit. He wanted to enter Wuyang and conquer Fangcheng.

Wei Hou died.

The crown prince urgently summoned Wu Qi to return. Li Kui wanted to stop him, thinking that the opportunity must not be missed, so he remonstrated and died of illness.Wu Qi looked at Wuyang and sighed. He wanted to accept Wei Si's acquaintance by making an indelible contribution, but he was afraid that the crown prince would be suspicious. The magistrate could not do anything, but retreated, and the king of Chu survived.

In October, Zheng Sizi's Yang party broke Xinzheng, killed Su Gong and clan Dazai Xin, and established You Gong's younger brother Yi as the king.Seven complaints, each in its own way, Zheng Nai three points.
