Chapter 651 New Strategy ([-])

All kinds of contradictions do not prove that Qin Huali is useless as a giant.

Just like the ugliness of the new era that Mozi saw when he traveled to Huaibei before his death, the conflicts will never be resolved once and for all.

Once old contradictions are resolved, new ones emerge.

That's all the contradictions left to fit.

Qin Huali understands that he is old, and he is too old to be a teacher and friend with Mozi. He is a giant who paves the way for the new era. Mo Di bets the future of the world on the new era, so why not?
These many problems need to be solved by the entire Mohism.

But now, everything is not the time.

In the first few days of the Association, a new leader, new Wuhai, new alternate Wuhai, and new committee members were elected step by step without too many disturbances.

Two opinions put forward by Chiu Huali after he became seriously ill were adopted.

Then, for the first time, he presided over the Tongyi Association as a Mohist giant, and Gao Sunzi, who had previously presided over the work, gave a report on "About the Current World Situation".

Then Shi Shi first fired a heavy gun, and after Gao Sunzi made a speech called "Inheriting Zi Mozi's ambition, benefiting the world as the goal, non-offensive is just a means to be implemented at a specific stage".

This is not about gaining political prestige by claiming to be the heir of Mozi, which is no longer necessary.

Everyone present knew whether or not that prestige was appropriate, and Mohism's ideology and moral theory had been governed by him all these years.

In the army, he has made great achievements as a commander-in-chief twice, and most of the inkmen came out of the school.

Although Mo Zi’s evaluation during his lifetime could not prevent people like Gao Zi from entering the Mohist’s decision-making circle, Mo Zi’s last political will doomed some people to be unable to become giants.

Mozi said that Gongzao is suitable for execution, but he is not a good helmsman.

Mozi said that Gao Sunzi has a strict temper and abides by the righteousness of benefiting the world, but he lacks methods and cannot unite his internal affairs.

Mozi said...

In fact, Mozi's last will pointed out everyone's shortcomings one by one, and fitness is the lightest.

Mo Zi pointed out the biggest problem with Shi, in fact, the root cause is that Mo Zi hopes that Shi can come up with a suitable theory to plug the loopholes of the Mohists' ghosts. If they can't be plugged, then the ghosts are still necessary.

In fact, Mo Zi doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods at all. He just regards ghosts and gods as a “detached” supervisor. He hopes that everyone has gods in their hearts so that people can still abide by the distinction between good and evil in remote mountains.

But his attitude towards superstition can be seen from Mozi's debate with the fortune teller when he went to Qi State.

When Mozi went to Qi State, the divination person said that today is not a good day, because the Yellow Emperor killed the black dragon in the north today in history, and you are black, so it will be a disaster for you to go to the north.

After Mozi went back in a circle, he said to the divination person: Nonsense, Huangdi killed the green dragon in the east on Jiayi day, killed the red dragon in the south on Bingding day, and killed the white dragon in the west on Gengxin day. Rengui killed the black dragon in the north. According to you, people in the world are squatting at home every day and can't go anywhere.

Until now, in fact, Shi has not solved the problem that Mozi hoped to solve, because Mozi has long seen that Shi is against the theory of ghosts and gods.

The emptiness and impersonality of Tianzhi God became "Tao" and solved the problem of self-consistency in Mohism's theory.

However, the matter that Mozi expected to be solved by Shi was never solved by Shi.

Namely: Assuming there is no superhuman ghost, how can people be guaranteed to do justice?With the ideal of righteousness, how many people can be persuaded to become comrades?How many people in the world are selfish and unable to act righteously and love at the same time?

Shi did not solve this problem, because he opposed the existence of ghosts and gods, so he only used righteousness to recruit the elite but few four-horse pioneers; and used the Mohist theory of the unity of righteousness and benefit to unite the majority of people who are eager to gain.

And he has never thought of using ghosts and gods to create morality, because he is sure that morality is not eternal, but is constantly changing with changes in class and material basis. Today's morality may be tomorrow's dross, and he does not have the ability to Take the essence from the dross to create an ancient, permanent, unchanging, and eternal moral standard.

Although the final problem was not solved, he finally solved the logic, system and self-consistency of the Mohist theory, and made the Mohist gradually grow, so that the Mohist can accept it, and the prestige is enough to support the internal unity.

No one present was surprised to be the next giant.

But when the report "Inheriting the Aspirations of Zi Mozi, Benefiting the World as the Purpose, and Non-offensiveness as a Means Implemented at a Specific Stage" was properly completed, the entire conference hall would be in a state of shock.

There are those who clap and laugh.

Standing up and drinking should have been like this.

There are those who are too impatient.

After being shocked, some people also applauded and praised.

A report, which is setting the tone for his Mohist line after being a giant.

This is a huge gunpowder mine, which means that the idea of ​​building a country by non-aggression in Sishang will become a concept that will be criticized.

It means that this is a comprehensive liquidation after Wei Yue suggested the non-attack route.

It means that the entire propaganda of Sishang will change direction.

Because Sishang will take a more fierce attitude towards the princes.

Of course, it also means that Shi extremely agrees with Gao Sunzi's report on the situation in the world that year, the world will be chaotic, and no prince has the ability to become the hegemon in a short time and unite the princes to conquer the Mohists.

Gao Sunzi, Gong Zaoye, Meng Sheng and others expressed great support for Shi's speech, and internal high-level discussions were overwhelmingly one-sided.

And since it is an internal meeting, there is no need to worry about leaks and the like.

Since this is the tone, then the five things that must be discussed first, even if there is a basic framework.

These three things originated from the established strategy of the Mohists.

This time, the alignment war is to take advantage of the chaos in the world and the southward migration of the Yue Kingdom to completely form Sishang into a tight whole; to expand the power to the East China Sea and Huaibei; to weaken the continuation of Wei and Qi.

With the end of the war between Qi and Mo, and the beginning of chaos in the world, the five problems that the Mohists need to solve are immediately in front of them.

First, the problem of Sishang princes turning a loose non-aggressive alliance into a tight state.

Second, the peace treaty signed in alignment with the war.

Third, take advantage of this momentum to form an alliance with the princes to maintain the situation in the world.

Fourth, the future direction of Mohism in Zhao State.

Fifth, the relationship with Chu was adjusted after the Qi-Mo War ended and the struggle between Chu and Wei eased.

This tone must be set, and the internal synonym and unity of Sishang will have to solve a problem.

Will the aristocratic status of a bunch of princes be retained?

Even if it is used as a cover to promote to the outside world, do you need to keep it?

For example, Marquis Teng, there may not be such a marquis in the world: Mohism is in power, and all his theoretical fiefdoms are sold to farmers for 20 years to redeem. The 20-year redemption of the output is equivalent to giving Teng Hou a year of defense.

Hou Teng invested a large amount of income in the trade and development of Fulou in the South China Sea to obtain dividends. The original palace was left to him, but the money for repairing the palace had to be hired by himself.

Is this the Marquis?Is this like a Marquis?
However, sometimes when you come out, you still need to keep an eye on the title of a marquis, and you need to take two steps out during the foreign ceremony. There is also a ceremony for the appointment of Marquis Teng.

It's embarrassing.

The Mohists sought to win Sishang. The slogan back then was "punish unrighteousness, drive out violence, and act on behalf of the princes". The slogan of the year means obsolete.

Zhou Tianzi is a fart, the Mo family can no longer care.

The princes are now exhausted, the Three Jins are disintegrated, Qi is injured domestically, and Chu is weak, so the princes' opinions don't matter now.

So Sishang should stage a trick of "princes offering government"?

Or is it a "monopoly of public opinion and a republic of government" to directly collect power?
The appropriate speech can be regarded as finding an answer to this question in advance.

Similarly, since the benefit of the world is to be carried through to the end, there are many opinions on the alignment of peace talks.

Now that the Qi State is powerless to resist, it is easy to cut the city and take the city.

The princes were powerless to interfere, and even if they took it, the state of Qi was powerless to oppose it.

So should we take this opportunity to expand the Mohist sphere of influence?

It sounds like Shi means that he is ready to roll up his sleeves and completely turn against the princes.

Keshi's subsequent statement is not the case.

He looked at the crowd and said solemnly: "I still stick to my previous idea. I will withdraw my troops and come back, and I will not cede a city in the southwest of Qilu. But I can make some adjustments. There are some problems that need to be resolved."

When he said this, Gao Sunzi said: "This is not right. Since you said it before, we want to continue the ambition of benefiting the world. What is the world?"

"The majestic Kunlun, the vast grassland, the vast East China Sea, the surging river, the bitter cold Yandi, and the scorching Chu border, all belong to the world."

"We're leaving, what about the Qi people there? Aren't the Qi people from all over the world?"

"I also thought that we should fight against Qi before withdrawing. That's because I was wrong about the situation in the world. I thought we might not be able to achieve such a big victory."

"But now, Qi's field army is completely wiped out, Linzi can't defend, the people of Wenshui and Jishui won the food scene, the three Jins are in turmoil, Chu and Yue are powerless, and the previous ideas can no longer keep up."

"The stronger we are, the weaker the clans and unrighteous kings who harm the world. The massacre of Wucheng let us know that in this world, the principle of mutual love and mutual benefit is dirty, not high."

I understand that I have to explain why in front of everyone, and I have to integrate it with what I just said, "Inherit the ambition of Zi Mozi, benefit the world as the purpose, and non-attack is only a means implemented at a specific stage", otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

Even though everyone will support it based on their own consistent judgments, but if it is out of line with what he just said, then his first shot as a giant will not be fired, which is not acceptable.

For those who are full of ideals, be reasonable.For those with utilitarianism in mind, we must talk about interests.As a giant who wants to unite many factions within the Mohist school, he has to talk about reason, but also talk about interests and reality.
