warring states careerist

Chapter 741
From autumn to winter, Gan De lost more than ten catties in a few months, and read books that were several times the weight he lost. Fortunately, they were already paper books. If it were bamboo slips, he might have to read a few more rooms so many.

In addition to attending classes in the school every day, I just go to the Zangshu Pavilion to study by myself. On the holidays, I go to watch the stars. I stare at the stars all night and night, lamenting the vastness of the universe.

In the past few months, he has lived a good life. Several books he wrote have passed the review, and he has received a lot of money. He has gained some fame in the circle of astronomy schools and has been respected by people.

One day in the winter months, Gan De came out of school and was about to go home. The coachman was already waiting there, and the two of them were already familiar with each other.

It's just that he doesn't talk much these days, Gander is either reading a book or thinking about things in the car. The driver probably has seen a lot of people like this, so he doesn't bother to make noise.

When the carriage passed through the street, dozens of gorgeous carriages came across, clearly in the style of Chu State.

The garrison brigades on both sides of the road wrapped red scarfs around their arms to maintain order, because some people were gathering there and shouted at the carriages: "Don't interfere with Song!"

"The people are the gods, and the affairs of the Song land are decided by the people of the Song land!"

The carriages did not stop, and passed the street quickly under the leadership of a group of Sishang cavalry.

Gander looked strange. Recently, he has been immersed in learning and listened less to the outside world. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"

The driver didn't turn his head, and said casually: "The envoy from Jingzhou, because of the change in Song Dynasty."

Gan De remembered some rumors in Yangxia before, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there will be another war?"

The coachman smiled and said, "Whether to fight or not is not up to us. But if those unjust kings insist on fighting, we can't be afraid. I don't want to fight. I don't need to fight, but it will affect the carriage business." .But if you really want to fight, if you want me to say it, fight big. If the world is unified as soon as possible, wouldn’t it be unnecessary to fight? I think those princes and nobles don’t have the heart of benefiting the world. If they really want to benefit the world, it’s better to surrender... "

Gan De secretly laughed in his heart, the people on Xindaosi really spoke their own truth, and they also believed that what they did was to benefit the world.But if those princes and nobles, I'm afraid they still think that breaking the etiquette on Sishang is harming the world.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of some trivial things in life, so I asked: "Won't the price of food go up? Should I buy some food first and stock up?"

The coachman laughed and said, "Sir, you are too worried. If there is a fight, who would dare to raise the price too much? Do you really think that the people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Supervision and Inspection Department only take money and do nothing? Besides, who can raise the price? Are you I didn't see the grain piled up in several large granaries...the wine is still brewing."

This is the first chaos that Gander has experienced in Sishang, and the extent to which Sishang has mastered and controlled the situation is not yet known.

But when he saw what the coachman said, he felt relieved, and thought that what he said was right, the world would be more stable soon, and I could relax and concentrate on studying Sui Xing.

…………

In the center of Pengcheng.

Shishi is presiding over a meeting that Qiwuhai participated in. Now Qiwuhai is no longer the same people as before. There are only three old people left, and the rest are middle-aged people who are about the same age as Shishi.

Time is inevitable, no one else.

In addition to him, the giant, and Nanwukai, there are several other people, each of whom is looking at a piece of material in their hands.

Most of the people present had already read these materials, which were about the Song Kingdom.

After waiting for a while, after everyone put away the materials, he said: "This time Xiong Yi sent someone, I think it was just delaying time. The interior is not stable yet, Xiong Yi is getting old, and now his body is in danger. Disease, in my opinion, he is unwilling to interfere with Song State."

"Of course, whether we are willing to interfere depends on our attitude. If we are more ruthless, he will be more afraid. Fighting will not do him any good. A few years ago we played prestige in Qidi, and he has to understand that even if we win The new army family property that he has accumulated will be destroyed, and the nobles inside will be happy."

"He just sent people to scare us. It seems that if we really fight, Chu, Wei, Han, etc. will send troops. It will be in his best interest if the Song land can be divided, such as Zheng Guo."

"He wants to scare us, but we can't be afraid."

"As for whether we should follow the example of the time-consuming efforts in the past to seek the Song Kingdom, my opinion remains the same as before: don't do that."

"Song Di is a powder keg. If we swallow it, we will feel uncomfortable."

"Song is located in the world. The world is determined, and Song must be. The world is divided, and Song may not be divided. So the key lies in the future world. And the future world is still Qinzi's strategy at the time, first Chu and then the Central Plains."

"I still say the same thing, if the Mi family can rely on hundreds of nobles and more than a thousand scholars to govern a vast land of five thousand miles, then why can't our tens of thousands of Mohists?"

Everyone has no objection to this. This has always been an established strategy, which has never changed and has always been deployed.

The meaning of suitable is obvious. If there is a civil turmoil in the Song Dynasty, the local people will win. As long as foreign countries do not interfere, the Mohists do not need to interfere.

A large group of Mohists, a large group of people who are close to Mohist, a group of farmers thirsting for land, a large group of prosperous industrial and commercial people, a large number of refugees who flocked to the city because of the loss of land, and some old people who have changed their identities. The nobles, and some ambitious people who want to use the power of the people to get rid of the rest of the nobles.

As long as you don't interfere...Sishang lends some money, sends some guns, and sends some volunteers, the new government of Song State must still be pro-Mohist, and if it wants to use the power of the people, it has to let go of some of the people The bondage of the people, and the stronger the people, the more beneficial it will be for the future.

Furthermore, the state of Song is in the world, and it is already a miracle that the state has not yet perished.The world will be stable in the future, Song State must be the first to be pacified, and it is the least likely to be independent, so now there is no need to follow the example of Fei Guoshi and send troops directly, but to keep Song State close to the Mohist and carry out appropriate reforms is the most beneficial.

In the future, the affairs of the Chu State will be determined, and the Song State will not be said to be determined by the preaching, but it will be the same.

Repaired roads, developed water transportation, and a large number of people who are close to the Mohist school, if that day really comes, I am afraid that it will be over before the countries react.

A person on the right side of the lower head said: "Since this is the case, I think we can let Xiong Yi's emissary hang out first. The people of Qin will also send people to welcome them with great fanfare, and do it for Xiong Yi and Wei Wei." Click to see."

"When Ying Shichao was meeting in Heze, he didn't inform us in advance. Afterwards, he announced that they had gunpowder and flint guns, which made Wei and Han think that we had formed an alliance with the Qin people. With our strength, we can stabilize the border of Xihe and move westward. expand."

"Today we should also let the people of Qin return. The people of Qin definitely hope that we will fight with Chu, Wei and Han around the land of Song. The more chaotic the Central Plains will be, the more peaceful the land of Qin will be. I will learn how the snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's profit."

"Since he wants to be a fisherman, even if he needs bait for fishing, he must come up with something."

"So we have to talk about injustice against Chu; talk about non-aggression against Qin; show off our strength against Chu, and talk about difficulties with Qin."

Simply speaking, everyone present laughed.

The state of Qin must hope that the Central Plains will be in chaos, not only the State of Qin, but also the State of Zhao.

But if the Central Plains wants to get into chaos, they have to express something.

The Wei people did not believe in an alliance with the Wei people, and the Qin people themselves did not believe it.

The Mo family talked about difficulties to the people of Qin, revealing everywhere that they did not want to fight, wanted peace without attack, wanted stability, and wanted to solve Song's affairs through alliances.

Qin State needs to make a statement, at least firmly expressing that it will definitely support the Mohists. It may not express the righteousness of supporting the people as gods morally, but it must show the Mohism in terms of vertical and horizontal alliances.

Let's fight to show that it's okay, I will stab Wei Jian in the back, you don't worry, in order to make the Mohists firm in their idea of ​​fighting, and even persuade them to fight.

Even if the Central Plains were beaten out of their brains, Qin Guo went to Qinchuan for a cat, and when they were exhausted, they crossed the Wei River and took back the West River. Wouldn't it be beautiful?

Or if the Mo family wins a big victory, then all countries can only rely on Qin, and use the power of the Mo family to take away the hegemony of Wei and Chu, so that Qin can exert more influence on the Shandong countries, and it is very likely Become the leader of the Anti-Mexican League.

In any case, it is in the best interest of Qin to fight in the Central Plains, and no matter who wins or loses, it will benefit.

And the king of Chu also has his own little calculations, it is best not to fight, it is best to carve up the Song Kingdom among the three kingdoms, so that the Mo family can act as a buffer between Wei and Chu, maintaining a three-party balanced situation.

The king of Chu is unwilling to fight, and the nobles will jump if they fight. At that time, the previous reforms may be in vain, and Chu will really return to the situation where it was hanged and beaten by the Central Plains all day long 30 years ago.

This gives the Mohists enough room to operate.

The conditions put forward by the state of Chu are very attractive. If there is no war between the three countries to carve up the state of song, it is best to introduce South Korea again, so as to make the situation in the Central Plains even more chaotic.And the Mohists can also get the wealthy western part of the Song State without fighting. From the point of view of the Qin people, the Mohists probably won't refuse.

Because the mind of the Mo family has never been the state of Song, but the world, so they will not allow the split of the state of Song to create a chaos in the Central Plains that is unable to go south. This is unknown to the state of Qin. The state moved the sword and was ready to overthrow the state of Chu in one fell swoop.

But Qin State's mind and Chu State's mind are easy to guess.

The Nanzheng area needs to cross the Qinling Mountains. The Mohists' city defense skills are not known to others but they still know how powerful they are. If they cross the Baogu to fight Nanzheng, it is easy to grit their teeth. The benefits are far inferior to going west and east. Nanzheng can now It's not that the weak Shu Kingdom is guarding.The reform is in a period of repetition, and it cannot stand failure, and it is not worth it and dare not.

It is even more unlikely that the King of Chu would go to fight against Song State at this time, because Wei State... did something five years ago: when Qi State was fighting fiercely with the Mohist family, he first made peace with the Mohist family because of the chaos in Zhao State .

The King of Chu was also afraid that he and Wei Ren had just formed an alliance, and the Qin people on the other side stabbed in the back, and Wei Jian would learn from last time, or take advantage of the weakness of Chu State to strengthen the Daliang defense line and capture Yuguan and cut south.

Intrigues against each other, countries vying for supremacy, who would believe in any covenant these days... If the Heze League met four years ago, the Mohists would continue to adhere to the non-aggressive covenant, and even come forward to formulate a new world law similar to the law of etiquette, maybe it can' A gentleman can be deceived by the right way, but it is difficult to ignore the wrong way'; but four years ago, the Mohists of the Heze League never mentioned the method of non-offensive, but said that the world is determined to be one for the great benefit, only enacted the law of war, and also used the law of war. How can the monarchs of all countries think that they can "deceive them" when Qi Gong Ziwu acts as a chicken to kill chickens and monkeys?
Besides, the Song Kingdom is easy to fight, but Sishang is not easy to fight. If all the family fortunes of his reform are thrown in the Song Dynasty, the nobles will be happy.

20 years ago, when I was sent to Chu as an envoy, I said that Chu's gold and jade were ruined, and it is still the same today.Xiong doubts how much strength he has in his hands. He should be very clear, and he just wants to scare Qi, Wei, and Han to scare Sishang.

Shocked, three or four families divided the Song land, and everything was fine.Wei Han and the Mo family had a lot of quarrels, and some of them would be in chaos.

If you can't be scared, just don't fight, let the Mohists occupy Song State, Wei State must be the first to be nervous.There is Qin in the west of the river, and Sishang in the east of the river. At that time, the king of Chu can also calmly reform and continue to oppress the nobles in the country.

What the Mohists did in Fei State five years ago also made it easy for Chu State to think that the Mohist School would follow suit, but they did not expect that the Mohist School thought that as long as the Song State remained neutral and close to the Mohist School, it would be best for the local people to gain Sufficient power to restrain those careerists in Song, or at least to exercise the experience of popular uprisings, the people of Zheng State are very skilled in this, and Song State is not as good.Si Shang didn't even think about taking Song Guo into his hands at this time.
