warring states careerist

Chapter 469 Unaware
After several words, Tian Rang said again: "Nowadays there is chaos in the city. I have a few dead soldiers with high martial arts skills. They are good at fencing and shooting guns. I will go with you after dinner today. If there is any chaos, I will also let you go." You are well protected, and you are also my friend."

These dead men were actually Mohist, but they didn't know Tian Rang's Mohist identity, but followed the order of the organization and with Tian Rang's help to "protect" Prince Luan.

Ji Sunluan only took Tian Rang out of good intentions, knowing that Tian Rang's family has a lot of wealth, and he also supports the poor in the city.

He nodded his thanks, and said: "Actually, there is no need to worry, I don't think it will be messed up."

Tian Rang said with a smile: "I hope so. Haven't you heard the saying in "Owl": "If the sky is not cloudy and rainy, the mulberry soil will be completely covered, and the households should be prepared. It is time to plan for the rainy day."

Ji Sunluan did not refuse, but thanked again and again.

The two exchanged cups and cups a few more times, and Tian Rang asked someone to invite those dead men.

Four strong men came from outside, all of them were brave, with swords hanging from their waists, but instead of long gowns, they were dressed in short brown.

Over the years, Sishang's definition of a scholar has gradually become the mainstream in this area, and a scholar is no longer just a status of blood. With the increasing number of merchants, most of the dead soldiers who are guarded by merchants are dressed in Sishang, or wear collar badges. Logo of the Rebel Army Uniform.

Such people are the most popular in Sishang.One is that these people are serving in volunteer divisions, they all observe discipline and have a lot of knowledge; the other is that these people are generally really capable, especially now that businessmen travel, and if they want to make big profits, they often have to go deep into the land of Baiyue Miao and barbarians. Therefore, it is safest to defend yourself with muskets in a formation of vehicles.

Ji Sunluan saw the grim expressions of these four people, with the commoner's unflattering and unflattering look unique to the Mohist influence, and praised: "True warriors."

After thanking Tian Rang for a few more words, smelling of alcohol, he left with the four of them.

After Ji Sunluan left, Tian Rang shook his head, sighed, and sneered.

Thinking of what I said before, the golden wind has not come before the cicadas, and now the situation in the city has become so severe, but the nobles have not yet realized the huge risk, and even thought that there would be no big chaos, it is really short-sighted A waste aristocrat who has never experienced a cruel struggle.

They have long since lost the political sense of their ancestor Ji You, only the depraved ignorance left for many years, or maybe... just because of "naturalness".

For example, Ji Sunluan thought it was impossible for something big to happen, but actually there was a reason for it when he thought about it carefully.

Because in Tian Rang's view, the upcoming event may be unprecedented, and there is no history to rely on. Judging by past experience will inevitably lead to errors in judgment.

In the past, it is not that there have been riots among the countrymen in various countries, and it is not that there have been such things as expelling or even killing the monarch.

But behind these things, there are nobles behind the agitation.

After the incident, the people of the country also re-elected a "public office" as the new monarch according to the previous rules.

Or, it is a palace coup d'état in which a minister kills the king, but in the end it will be pressured by various countries, and at least one puppet will be supported.

Because it is a matter of course that there should be a king on his head,

It is the truth that the world does not need to think about why, just like the sun rises from the east and sets from the west, so the emperor becomes the sun subtly, must have, and the blood must be pure, like a stallion.

Therefore, aristocrats like Ji Sunluan are not worried about any riots among the Chinese people this time.

Because, judging from the contents of the letters and newspapers sent by the Mo family, it is impossible for any nobleman to accept the request made by the Mo family this time.

In the past, the Chinese people rioted in various countries. Farmers were used to being slapped twice a day. Suddenly, a new king actually slapped them three times a day. So the people of the country rioted, hoping to get two slaps again, and there happened to be a nobleman who wanted to stand up and say that I From now on, I will slap you twice every day, so the people of the country will hold him as the king.

But now, the possible conditions for change proposed by the Mohists are impossible for nobles to accept, and it is completely impossible for nobles to stand up and be willing to undertake this matter.

After all, in the past, such as killing the king and going abroad, the aristocrats came to power in a coup, and the aristocrats were still needed as the basis for ruling.So the limit that can be achieved is to retreat from three slaps to two slaps, but if he dares to say that two slaps will not work, then he will not succeed in the coup and will be killed by the nobles.

No one is stupid.Now that the Qin people are changing, it means that Shengchuo has been prepared for a civil war from the beginning, otherwise why bother to move the capital?
The current changes in Feiguo cannot be changed or reformed.

It is impossible for any aristocrat to take advantage of this opportunity to pursue greater power, because it is untenable and there is no "person" to support it.The people here are naturally nobles.

Some people are born to be kings, some are born to be qualified to be kings, and some are born to be peasants, so it is impossible for them to touch the throne.Princes, generals, and ministers are indeed kind, this is the main trend of the times.

Under the premise that princes and generals are indeed the trend, and those who have the kind do not want, dare, or will participate in riots and rebellions, then how can there be chaos?
This is a very perfect inference, based on the past and the mainstream inference in the world.

No one of blood is willing to be the sun, so the current sun cannot be replaced. This is based on existing historical facts and is a matter of course.

It is impossible to expect an aristocrat who has never seen a new type of national riot to worry about this unprecedented possibility.Once it happens, you will be alerted.

So far, in the various kingdoms of Xia, the monarchs have been hacked to death, shot, hanged, and strangled.

But so far, in the Zhuxia kingdoms, there has never been a single person who is not a kind person. Even if the people of Zhoudu rioted in those years, it was the last time that Gongbohe came to power.

But now... At least in Sishang, all this will change too much.

The Mohist advocated a rational understanding of what is a country and what is a people, and put forward the concept of "choosing virtuous people as the son of heaven".

In addition to this idea, there are clear introductions and theories on how to restrict power, how to formulate laws, how to collect taxes, how to recruit troops, how to govern, and how to let the country operate on its own, and it has been practiced in Sishang and has been successful.

In fact, the Mohists have been practicing the saying of "putting experience first" in recent years, using what happened on Sishang to silently tell the world a truth: it is feasible to choose a worthy man as the son of heaven, and there is a possibility of success. institutional.

If you think the Mohist statement is wrong, you can use words to refute it, but this cannot be done.

If you can't refute it with words, you can also say that this is right but it can't be done, just like saying that if the sun is closer in winter, it will be much warmer, it is right, but it can't be done... But now Sishang has done Arrived.

So, it's irrefutable.

Therefore, after the riots by the nationals of various countries, there is actually another choice: why do we have to have a monarch with a bloodline?
This is the biggest difference between the chaos in Fei country this time and the previous ones, and because of this difference, the riots this time may be more violent and violent, and even do not need the support of the nobles at all.

It is even possible to shout out the phrase "Princes and generals, rather have a kind, Tianzhi rules, choose talents for appointment".

The reason why Ji Sunluan judged that there would be no chaos was that no nobles would stand up and take the lead, so it was like a chicken without a head, it must not survive, so it would not happen.

But he didn't know that all the things that the Mohists have been preaching, whether it is "respecting the virtuous", "everyone is a minister of heaven regardless of age or status", and "equality", all of these things may cause "no Head's rebellion provides the rationale.

It is precisely because of this that Tian Rang is very clear about why the Mohists want to focus on Ji Sunluan.

It might sound like a contradiction.

Because the Mohists know the possible consequences of this national riot, and these consequences are believed to be beneficial to the world and are caused by the Mohism, but the Mohism does not want such consequences for the time being.

What is most beneficial to the Mohists at this time is that the riots among Fei country's citizens are within a controllable range, and the situation is still maintained on the surface as a "coup d'état for a leader with a seed".

Because once it is uncontrollable, there will be situations such as expelling the monarch, opposing nobles, and selecting sages to republican law, all of which are supported by the Mohist school, agreed by the Mohist morality, and even rooted in the 20-year enlightenment propaganda of the Mohist school.

The chaos is uncontrollable, and Fei Guo's coup d'état may not be of concern to the world.If Fei Guo chooses a worthy man as king, the whole world will be shaken that day. Even if the Three Jins are about to be chaotic and the people of Qin are about to change, it will not be more sensational than this incident.

Once something happens to Fei Guo and it develops in that direction, the Mohists will definitely support it.

Otherwise, it would be slapping oneself in the face, and it would split the Mohist family, and a large number of young people and nobles who still had passion and aspirations for the world would leave, and the Mohist family would even be divided into two halves.

Tian Rang didn't know about the situation of Zhao Guo, Wei Guo and Qin Guo, but even if he knew, he still had to be clear. Even if there was such a situation, it would attract the attention of other countries before the Mohist School was fully prepared. siege.

The three Jins can separate families, and the Tian family can replace Qi, but since they have succeeded in replacing them, they will follow Zhou rituals again.From a traitor to Zhouli's guardian, only one identity change is needed, from a minister to a king, if the buttocks change, the head will naturally change as well.

Therefore, if the matter of Fei Country continues uncontrollably, the Mohists must support it.

The Mo family clearly shouted their support, which meant that the Mo family wanted to completely oppose the princes of the world, and that would be a dead end.It is no longer possible to take advantage of the contradictions between the princes vertically and horizontally.

Therefore, the high-level Mohists, headed by Shi, hoped that this would be a controllable revolution disguised as a coup d'état that would benefit the Mohists' support.

The work Tian Rang is doing is of great significance.

It's just that Tian Rang still doesn't know how the Mo family will fan the fire.

His mission now is just to make good friends with Ji Sunluan and send Ji Sunluan a few "dead men" in the name of friends, other than that, he can only wait.

Outside the mansion, many Mohists or Mohist supporters were preaching. Every time Ji Sunluan heard the truth that inspired him, he wanted to stop, but his status did not allow him to stop for the time being.

Tian Rang thought to himself, at this moment in the city, there are probably dozens or even hundreds of Mohists active in the city, right?

After all, this fire needs the kindling of the Mohist family to ignite. The only thing I don't know now is how the Mohisth dries the grass so dry that it can burn with a little spark.

…………

When the grass is extremely dry, a spark can start a prairie fire.

There are many things that burn more easily than dry grass, and gunpowder is one of them, which is already in use in the world at this time.

In the name of mining to benefit the people and building water conservancy, countries bought a large amount of gunpowder from the Mohists.

Merchants occasionally buy some for self-defense and business travel protection, but if they are bought in a car or a car, most of them have official status.

But at this time, a group of "merchants" who did not have official vassal status were transporting several carriages of gunpowder to the capital of Fei.
