Chapter 654 New Strategy (V)

The entanglement between the Qi State and the Mo family was not just a matter of these two families from the beginning, and it is not until now.

Therefore, the conclusion of a peace treaty with Qi is not a separate matter between the two countries, and it is not just a simple external peace treaty of the Mohists, but involves the world and the interior of the Mohists.

From the perspective of later generations, the conclusion of the peace treaty between the Mohists and the Qi State this time will mean the end of the Spring and Autumn Period that lasted for hundreds of years, and the complete collapse of the patriarchal clan system of Zhou Tianzi.

The three Jins were named Marquis, and the Tian family replaced Qi. That was a dark time division.

The feudal lords of the Three Jins originated from the conquest of Qi by the Three Jins. The conquest of Qi by the Three Jins was authorized by the emperor of Zhou. Even though the emperor had no real power, the result was that the three Jins "offered captives to the emperor".

The State of Yue took advantage of this opportunity to conquer Lu and Qi, and it was only to fulfill the emperor's order to attack Qi and support its allies as the uncle of Yue.

And for this meeting after this battle, the Mo family will not care about Zhou Tianzi, because Zhou Tianzi has not given the Mo family a real title so far, in other words, the Mo family is not uncommon.

Moreover, this alliance will solve many problems and create a more favorable environment for the Mohists in the future.

The matter between Qi Mo.

The matter of Zhongshan's independence.

The exchange of enclaves between Wei, Han, and Zhao.

The border between Chu State Wei State South Korea Zheng State and the ownership of Yuguan...

All these issues must be discussed when Qi Qi concludes the peace treaty, because this alliance must be presided over by the Mohists.

No one can.

Wei Guo is now worried about the cooperation between Mohism and Chu.

The state of Chu could not regain Yuguan by itself, let alone Daliang, and needed the support of the Mohists.

Zheng Guo is now facing the danger of being given up to South Korea by Wei Guo, and needs the non-attack of the Mohist School as a support.

The exchange of enclaves between Wei, Han, and Zhao requires a host to control and maintain "fairness".

The host, according to the previous rules, is the overlord.

The Mohists don't care about the identity of the presiding alliance, nor the attitude of Zhou Tianzi, but they care about the benefits and favorable forms that can be obtained after presiding over the alliance this time.

For this reason, the aligned peace treaty must not have too much appetite, and must choose to withdraw troops.

Similarly, this matter involves more complex issues, involving the rationality and legitimacy of the Mohists' subsequent benefit to the world.

The official collapse of Zhou Tianzi’s patriarchal enfeoffment system, the complete collapse of surrounding barbarians, and the huge gap between farming peoples and bone nomads brought about by gunpowder and iron tools all made the concept of “Tianxia” lack a more stable imaginative support. .

Duke Huan of Qi respected the king and fought against the barbarians, not counting the state of Chu. The barbarians and the barbarians faced by the northern state of Yan were still powerful at that time, and all the princes had to face the possible threats from the barbarians. The concept of "China" was supported by cultural foundation and imagination at that time. .

In the whole world, is it the difference between the king's land and the Huayi.

The Mohists support "synonymous and unifying", but oppose the original meaning of the whole world, because if there is no king's land under the whole world, then it is against the reason for the people to divide the land of the nobles.

It is necessary to oppose the whole world and the land of the king; it is also necessary to maintain a stable community for the future; it is also necessary to guard against the creation of nations among countries. Complicated things.

Counting it, Confucius is considered to be the person who inspired a hundred schools of thought. After all, he pioneered private learning, and the development of a whole set of systematic theories and even the contention of a hundred schools of thought have traces to follow on the issue of "the world".

Zhongni's previous reality was that the rituals collapsed and the music collapsed.

The collapse of rites and the destruction of music means that the era of Zhou Tianzi as the branch, maintaining the same imaginative ethnic group in Kyushu, and Zhou Tianzi's theocracy and legal principles will collapse.

In this regard, Confucius thought of a way to go back, back to the era when rituals were never broken, music was never bad, and conquests came from the emperor, so as to maintain the unified existence of Zhuxia and form an internally sealed externally independent structure.

In the era of Mozi, the collapse of rites and music was more thorough, and the patriarchal system of enfeoffment could no longer support it. Mozi's idea was to recognize the established reality and implement the principles of international law, so that "righteousness" and "unrighteousness" could be distinguished. Attack to maintain peace in the world.

But after Shi appeared, the entire theory of Mohism was largely revised, and a new concept of "synonym" was put forward. The standard of righteousness is the same all over the world, forming a closer cultural group.

For example, someone asked Mozi the question "I love Zou people more than Yue people, I love Lu people more than Zou people, and I love people from my hometown more than foreigners".

Zhongni’s solution is to "conquer from the Son of Heaven", so that the world is still the people of the world and will not be divided. Even if there is a division inside, it still belongs to the Son of Heaven who is "under the whole world". Cultural identity maintains the basic centripetal force of people all over the world.

Mozi's solution is "non-aggression", promoting the principles of the world, and acknowledging the reality of division among countries. Because Confucius' methods have been proven to be ineffective, and the princes cannot agree, then take a step back and admit the reality, relying on the principle of "universal love" Preaching and propagating truths solved the problems of Zou people, Yue people, Lu people, and Qi people.

The appropriate solution is that preaching is too difficult, so let's unify. After unification, the problem of Zou people and Lu people will not exist?This problem is too difficult to solve. Instead of solving the problem, we should get rid of the problem itself and replace it with a problem that is easier to solve.

As long as the great "synonym" can be achieved, the world will be one step closer to Jianai.At that time, the only thing to be solved is the problem of "I love people from my hometown more than people from other places", and Zou Renlu's identity has disappeared and he has become a person from all over the world.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem itself.

In this way, the theory of "just war" and "unjust war" must be resolved.

Pure civil war, based on the righteousness of Mohist school, is bound to be unrighteous, especially the civil war in Zhuxia for the purpose of plundering land and wealth.

However, if it is because the existence of nobles is unreasonable, a unified Zhuxia is more in line with the purpose of "benefiting the world", liberate the rest of the peasants, businessmen, and businesses who suffer from the aristocratic system, and use "common agreement between the monarch and the subjects" and " The theory of Dao follows nature” explains the rationality of peasants and businessmen gaining political power, so this solves the problem of “righteous warfare” and makes what Mohism does not simply be a civil war between princes.

Therefore, the tone of the alliance this time must focus on this issue and force the princes to admit one thing: it is reasonable for the Mohists to fight against Qi.

How to force the princes to admit it?Then it is necessary to calculate the attitudes of various countries, sell the interests of some countries, and obtain the verbal recognition of the other benefiting country.

This is also the reason why he is full of vigilance against the "non-aggression" faction, and it is also the reason why he believed that "non-aggression" is correct in his first speech as a giant, but it does not fit the current situation and needs to be changed. .

He is making corrections.

Because the "non-aggression to establish a country" faction is based on Mozi's "non-aggression" meaning, it cannot oppose non-attack itself, but can only oppose non-attack at this time.

Moreover, because of Mozi's theory and prestige, there is a theoretical basis for the statement of "establishing a country without attacking" and there is also a sufficient population base of self-cultivating farmers in Sishang, which is dangerous.

After Zhou Tianzi's patriarchal clan system collapsed, Zhuxia's situation was a bit ugly.

The continuation of the establishment of a country through non-aggression will inevitably lead to the complete collapse of the Zhou Tianzi system. The international law of "non-aggression" and "righteous warfare" may emerge, which may make Zhuxia become an "international" rather than a "world", making the future of Mohism Tianxia may create a huge obstacle called national awakening.

At that time, there will be ideological confusion within the Mohist school, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, the conclusion of the peace treaty between Qidi and the subsequent alliance of princes must not discuss the issue of "non-offensive", and absolutely cannot take the theme of "the fourth military elimination meeting".

Because when Shi first entered the Mohist school, he said that the future of the Mohist school is "the sword of the world".

There are two explanations for this.

Appropriate revised explanation.

The original Mozi's interpretation of "non-attack".

This makes the internal situation of the Mohists actually look complicated.

Qi Qi concluded a peace treaty to suppress the radicals, and they supported Shi Qi's interpretation of the sword of the world, so they hoped to take advantage of this great victory to quickly resolve the world's disputes, the same meaning.

The princes of the alliance should suppress the non-aggressive national faction. They will support the retreat of the Qi State, but they may use "non-aggressive" peace treaty as the theme of the alliance.Because the Mohist school is quite strong now, it should inherit the ambition of Mozi, and be the restrainer of the princes of all countries, the executor of the law of non-offensive, the gendarme of Zhu Xia and the criminal of the international law of non-offensive.

That is to say, "the sword of the world" is the difference between "the righteousness of Mohism is the righteousness of the sword bearer, and the sword of the people of the world" or "the Mohist political subject is the sword bearer, and the sword of the princes of the world".

It is appropriate to have its own direct lineage faction, but it is impossible for the Mohist family to really have no faction or affiliation.

The purpose of Qi Qi peace treaty is to "persuade" Gao Sunzi's faction, instead of using the non-aggressive nation-building faction to suppress Gao Sunzi.

The theme of the alliance of princes and the keynote of public opinion that emphasizes "punishing injustice" and ignoring "non-aggression" in the future, it is necessary to form an alliance with Gao Sunzi to "subdue" the non-aggressive state-building faction, rather than simply persuading.

In other words, Gao Sunzi can reason and criticize as a comrade, but the non-aggressive nationalism faction will be "criticized".

Criticism is not the same as critique.

Therefore, in the matter of aligning the peace agreement, the truth must be clarified one by one, Gao Sunzi must be persuaded, and morality, interests, and future situations must be used to prove that it is in line with the righteousness of the Mohists, in line with the interests of the world, and against The situation in the future is very favorable.

Only in this way can we achieve our goal and convince this very disciplined but stubborn person.

Only talk about interests, not morality, everyone in the world can talk about it, except the Mohist. Some princes have said that the righteousness of the Mohist is sometimes the shackles of the Mohist. shortcoming".If this giant doesn't give lectures, he will be overthrown soon. After the reorganization of Shangqiu, the Mohist giant must have the right to interpret ideology.

And the utilitarian nature of Mohism itself makes it impossible to talk about morality, but also to talk about real interests, otherwise he will not support the majority of Mohists who talk about practicality.

As for the future situation, it is said behind closed doors, as long as the people present agree, and the judgment of the situation over the years has been generally correct, and sometimes there are even "unpredictable prophets", which is a psychology that can be used.
