warring states careerist

Chapter 849
Ropes protruded from the low Xincheng defenses. Five people climbed the ropes, without weapons or shouting, and they easily climbed up to Xincheng, which had been besieged by the Wei and Han coalition forces for more than ten days but could only stop fifty paces away. Defend.

After delivering the letter, it was finally the first time that I called each other comrades in front of many people. Even though the Korean dialect is different from the Sishang dialect, I can understand both words, just like the singing voice that responded just now. .

The letter was quickly verified to be genuine, and was soon deciphered with the help of a "literacy manual".

The person in charge of the Mohism in Xinzheng understood the content of the letter, because those who could be sent to Xinzheng to preside over the work were qualified to attend some committee-level meetings in Sishang.

After looking through it, the content is actually very simple to sum up, but also very bloody.

The Mohists used to rely on the principles of peaceful coexistence such as "non-attack" and rely on the contradictions between the Three Jins, Chu, and Qi and Qin to develop and grow stronger, although they have been clamoring for new rules to make the morality of the Mohists become The morality of the world is high, but the strength was very weak at that time, and it could only rely on contradictions.

But now, the principle of peaceful coexistence such as "non-aggression" has become a kind of bondage.

Under this restraint, the Mohists want to shout out these principles even louder.

Because this is the last chance, if you don’t shout, there will be no chance to shout, and shouting these words is meaningless, and there must be no result, so you have to shout out with a hoarse attitude, so that the world can see.

Zheng Guo will be the last small country in the Central Plains that is not yet a puppet of a big country. This small country is about to perish, and the slogan of non-attack and helping weak countries will be sung on the land of the Central Plains for the last time. .

The letter was not so straightforward, but the person in charge of the Mo family in Xinzheng understood it.

Zheng Guo's downfall is inevitable.

The last continuation period of the old system of the Spring and Autumn and Zhou rites from the rise of the three families in Jin Sishang to the present Spring and Autumn Zhou ceremony is about to pass, and the era of the temporary new, inevitable and real war that will determine the future rules of Zhu Xia is coming.

Zheng Guo is just a victim, like the firewood that survived the last cold winter.

The Mohists need it to burn, but it's useless now.

The Mohists will not truly fulfill the meaning of "non-aggression" and "helping the weak" for Zheng Guo, because it is not the non-aggression establishment of the country that interferes with the balance faction, but the unification war benefiting the world faction, and now this faction is in power.

Even if the non-aggressive national faction is not in power, there are still many believers and scholars who are inclined to them in Sishang and the world.

It is necessary to use Zheng Guo to destroy the "Fei Gong" that is entangled in the Mohist body, which is gradually felt to be a bondage after being powerful now, and also to use the destruction of Zheng Guo to completely disintegrate the non-gong state fantasy intervention balance school, so that Sishang's real comrades righteous.

The demise of Zheng State means that there is no need for non-aggressive righteousness in the Central Plains. Only the Central Plains of Chu, Qi, Wei, and Han are left. Excluding the Mohist circle of non-aggressive alliance, there is no other form except for unjust wars. of war.

The demise of the state of Zheng means the complete end of the Mohist fantasy of the third military alliance, and the morality of transforming non-aggression and helping the weak into a one-day war will become the only righteous choice in the end.

Under the justice of ending the war with one day, why and one day will be the banner that the Mohists will wave in the next step.

Is it for the sake of strengthening the country?Is it for the benefit of the king?Is it for the so-called glory?Is it for the so-called meritorious service?
Or is it because of the corruption and evil of the old age, overthrowing everything of the old and going to the world for the benefit of all people?

The matter of Zheng Guo is a continuation of what Heze Huimeng said five years ago: in the Huimeng five years ago, Shi never mentioned the matter of non-attack and annihilation of soldiers, but did not directly publicize that no non-offensive, still With the morality of non-aggression, peace and love, many Mohist sympathizers outside Sishang are tied to maintain the internal balance of Sishang.

With the inevitable war among the countries in the Central Plains, the non-aggression to judge whether the war is just or not will usher in the judgment of benefiting the world or harming the world, and the war will only be judged as harming the world, benefiting the world, or dog bites dog.

In the letter, they must maintain their independence and have limited cooperation with the nobles of Zheng Guo. This is the declaration that the old non-aggression righteousness will no longer be used.

The letter praised the people-oriented, and defending the city is to use all available opportunities to benefit the people. This is the Mohism's official declaration that benefiting the world and harming the world and morality are the highest judgments.

Mobilize the people, inspire enlightenment and awakening, but don't revolt under the attack of Wei Chuhan and Zheng Guo nobles, this is to preserve the fire for later use.

However, the fire has a limited number of years. If it is not used before the fire is extinguished, then it is better to ignite the fire now to cause a big fire and illuminate other places, and maybe one or two sparks will fly to other places.

Since it is to be kept, it proves that for at most ten years, the fire that ignited in Sishang will burn to Xinzheng, otherwise why keep it?

The letter is full of praise and praise, but it never mentions the most important content that Sishang will send troops with all his strength, but earnestly warns that if Chu State sends troops to interfere, the nobles of Zheng State will find a new father, so don't rush Start an uprising against the nobility.

These words were enough for the person in charge of Xinzheng's Mo family to understand, and enough for him to understand what Shi wanted him to do.

Sooner or later, Xinzheng will fall, and the demands of the people of Xinzheng will be destroyed and denied sooner or later, so take advantage of this opportunity, use a faster and more violent posture, and change all-out defense of the city into all-out efforts to promote the morality of the Mohist school, organize the people, and inspire the people.

This is an excellent opportunity. The nobles of Zheng State need to strengthen the people to defend the city. Chu State has not yet sent troops. In order to defend the city, the nobles of Zheng State will tolerate many things that were impossible to tolerate before.

Once Chu State sends troops, once Wei Han Chu starts the final negotiation around Zheng State, then this opportunity will be missed, and those nobles who have repented now and said that they will fulfill the contract in the future will turn their faces: Wei Han wins, then Wei Han will naturally not Recognize those contracts; Chu won, and with Chu's thicker thighs, Zheng's nobles would not need the power of the people that might burn them.

If the people of Xinzheng want to win, they cannot rely on themselves, because the surrounding hostile forces are too strong, and they can only rely on Sishang volunteers to fight them one day in the future.

What the people of Xinzheng have to do now is to understand what kind of world Sishang Yishi will build in the future, and to resent the continuing darkness with hope. It is difficult to bear the darkness when you have seen the light, and how do you know if you have never seen it? Where is the light?
With the understanding of this letter, the Mohists of Xinzheng immediately held a meeting.

The host raised the letter in his hand and said: "The giant appreciated our approach and approved our means."

This short sentence drew laughter from many people at the venue.

The moderator bypassed this topic and mentioned the contents of the letter hidden behind the praise.

After a brief description, he said: "That's why, now our task is not just to defend the city, but to organize the people and promote morality by defending the city and using it."

"Since the fall of the city is inevitable, since the timing of the uprising is not ripe at this time, and since the intervention of the three kingdoms of Wei, Chu and Han is consistent in opposing the people, then in fact, until now, when the city will fall has no meaning for the great cause of the world. significance."

"There is only one meaning left for defending the city."

"If the city cannot be defended, if Wei Han comes, the people's organization will be forcibly dismantled. We may also be arrested by Wei Han, and we will not have such a perfect opportunity to promote the organization."

"So the purpose of defending the city now is not to defend the city, but to have more time to let the people know that they have strength, and let them know what their strength should be used for."

He looked around at the Mohists who were still understanding what he said, and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, what does the demise of Zheng Guo mean?"

"It means that apart from the vassal of Wei, the only weak country in the Central Plains that can conform to Zimozi's injustice has perished, leaving only Wei, Han, Chu, Qi and the Feigong Alliance in the Central Plains."

What he said was not ambiguous. The Non-offensive Alliance is not a vassal state, but a circle of influence centered on Sishang.

The demise of the Zheng State means that future wars will inevitably be wars between major powers, and there is no longer any need to practice non-aggression righteousness.

Wei Chu, Han Qi's attack on any country in the non-offensive alliance is equivalent to declaring war with Sishang. The righteousness of attack can also be said to be for the benefit of Sishang.

The "non-aggression" shackles that had been placed on the Mohists after the Qi-Mo war five years ago were shattered with the demise of Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo exists, so Wei and Han attack Zheng Guo, this incident cannot use the narrative style and values ​​of "harming the world" and "benefiting the world".

If you don't care, it will be difficult to straighten out your thoughts and unify your will internally: the nobles of Zheng State are not good birds, and the nobles of Wei and Han are also like birds.The state of Zheng is weak, so can the nobles of the state of Zheng's deeds of harming the world be ranked after the righteousness of non-offensive?
No matter, the Mohists have always called Feigong, and they also relied on Feigong to grow and develop in the contradictions of the previous countries.After shouting for a long time, many people really believed it. If there is no army to support the dog biting the weak dog in the dog, many people will not be able to get rid of the knot in their hearts for a while, resulting in confusion.

If this problem is to be solved, it needs another internal debate and propaganda in Sishang, and the suppression of the non-offensive and nationalist faction will be expanded, involving more people.

Fortunately, with the fall of Zheng Guo, this internal moral dispute has no meaning of existence. If it is too troublesome to solve the problem, then let the problem itself disappear—this is Shi’s consistent thinking since he came to power.

If we can’t solve the problem of loving both Chinese and Korean people but not Zheng people, and Qi people don’t love Lu people, then let the Korean people, the Lu people, the Zheng people, the Wei people disappear, and become the people of the world.

If we can't solve the problem of Zheng Guo being unwilling to change and being beaten miserably all day long, whether to save or not, then let Zheng Guo disappear, and the world will only be left with the problem of harming and benefiting the world, not whether to attack or not. The question of aggression.

Zheng Guo has not yet perished.

However, Shi's letter almost clearly stated that Sishang would not send troops on a large scale to ensure the existence of the Zheng State, so the Zheng State had perished.

Then, for the Mohists who are still in Xinzheng, the contradictions will be simplified.

It turned out that out of the righteousness of non-offensive, in order to defend the city, how much patience should be tolerated with the old nobles?To what extent?This also needs to be considered.

But now Zheng Guo is equivalent to gone, only the contradiction between the interests of the new world and the old world is left, for the sake of the world, there is no need for cooperation and patience with the nobles, let yourself go, take advantage of Xin Zheng is still in your hands A happiest publicity.
