warring states careerist

Chapter 981

The blood boiling will only work miracles when the other party is not so passionate.

Obviously, the blood of the nobles for their family and the country is far less bloody than that of the Mohists who want to create a new world of synonymous equality, love and non-aggression.

One is the House of Five Miles, and the other is the World of Nine Thousand Miles.

The fanatical and loose nobles have no discipline, only bravery; no formation, only fanaticism.

So the Mohist cavalry on the hill charged down, more than 70 nobles were cut down to the ground, and the rest chose to flee.

Only the seven nobles held their iron swords, wiped the blood from their bodies, and faced the row of Mohist cavalry, they did not retreat or waver, but prepared to die on the way of charging.

The face of a nobleman was cut open, the long wound made the white flesh inside turn out, and the leg was also cut with a knife, causing him to tremble in pain.

He looked at the enemy who was dozens of times stronger than his own, and knew that this attack would kill him, but he was not afraid.

He was just worried that his trembling legs could not be controlled due to the severe pain of the wound, and the Mo family would think it was cowardice, so he adjusted the horse's head and tidied his clothes to cover his trembling legs.

The Mohist cavalry had re-arranged, and the nobles raised their swords, facing dozens of times the enemy, and said loudly: "People value loyalty. Your righteousness and our righteousness cannot coexist. Today we die for righteousness, Although dead..."

boom……

Before he finished speaking, several Mohist cavalrymen on the opposite side took out the short flint guns they bought, and killed the nobleman who was about to continue talking about righteousness with a few shots. They leaned over and stroked the mane of the horse, admiring Said: "What a fine horse, when I chopped him just now, I was afraid that I would cut him on the horse."

The cavalry knew that the spoils belonged to the Lord, and the horse did not belong to him.

But he loves horses very much, and he has achieved the kind of love that Mozi said is "the love of non-use".

When I was young, the horses in the village commune had to plow the land, and the plowed land brought them food and wealth. At that time, the village commune had gradually formed a tradition of loving horses. Before plowing every spring, they would choose to make a meal of vegetable dumplings for the cattle. Or horses eat.

The cavalry were too lazy to listen to what the nobles were talking about, and they didn't care about life and death on the other side. The Mo family didn't need to draw strength from the fanaticism of the nobles.

What the cavalrymen only cared about was the fine horse with shiny fur. Many cavalrymen who came from wealthy farmers also admired it. They ran over to caress the horse a few times, and led the horse to a place away from the corpse.

Several cavalrymen looked at the corpses of the nobles on the ground and said with a smile: "Use their blood to make fertile land. This will be a fertile land in the future, and everything you plant will grow well."

"Yeah, next year's farming won't work, it will stink. It will be fine the next year."

"The war will end in the year after tomorrow, and the world will be stable."

Several people looked at the dead body on the ground thoughtfully, but what they thought of was the farming and harvesting at home, and they thought that the wheat at home must be very high now.

When they were admiring and sighing, the cavalry who hurriedly marched here to cross the river had already appeared in their field of vision, as well as the infantry of the two companies that had cooperated with them before.

The cavalry knew that the battle was basically over.

What the cavalry knew, the general of the Qi army also knew.

He looked up at the sky, the sun hadn't reached the top of his head yet, and he wanted to stick to it for two days, but he didn't want to make it for half a day.

The infantry of the Mohists started to counterattack from the front, but they failed to seize the cannon from the side.

And there was nothing he could do.

Facing the subordinates and dead soldiers around him, the general of the Qi Army said with emotion: "My defeat is not a crime of war. There are not many soldiers, not many cannons, and not many cavalry. Even if the Grand Duke is here, what can we do?"

"I will die today. If I surrender, I will be trapped in the hands of the master, humiliated by the slut, and have to be reformed through labor. The matter of life and death is small, but the matter of honor and disgrace is great."

"I am incompatible with the Mohists, and we cannot stand together. When I die, I can be buried face to face."

After all, Hengjian slays himself.

The dead men beside him cried bitterly, and dug a hole beside it with tools. After burying the owner, the two dead men also dug two holes.

Just beside the pit, after bowing down to the general's simple tomb, he beheaded the general's horse and placed the horse's head as a sacrificial offering in front of the tomb.

At noon, the Qi army was defeated across the board.

Of the 140 Qi troops, [-] were captured and [-] were killed or injured. Most of the [-] low-ranking nobles died in battle, a few committed suicide, and only six chose to surrender.

The Mohists suffered three hundred casualties, and seven officers above sergeants died in battle.

After a short break at noon to clean up the battlefield, they returned to the camp and put on their backpacks. They left the wounded in the camp and left five hundred cavalry to guard the prisoners.

So far, the last obstacle between the main forces of the coalition forces of the princes has also been cleared away.

Four days later.

The suspected soldiers of the Mo family in Chen and Ku counties had [-] soldiers, and they went out to the northeast of Yangxia, intending to prevent Yangxia from going north to join the Han army.

The main striker stuck to the main force of the coalition forces.

Cheng Kuang's partial division attacked, marching hurriedly near Hongshui, blocking the way for the main force of the coalition to retreat south and west.

Two days later, the troops of the Mohists began to gather, and the allied forces of the princes also dug their camps and made preparations for a decisive battle.

The right wing of the allied armies of the princes combined has a total of more than [-] troops. After the division and annihilation by the Mohists, the main force of the allied forces assembled here for a decisive battle is not many.

35 cavalry, [-] chariots, [-] copper cannons with five catty iron bullets, and about [-] infantry, excluding the fleeing soldiers.

There are more than [-] people riding artillery and infantry together.

On the Mohist side, almost all of Sishang's field forces were assembled.

140 cavalry, 500 copper cannons with five-jin iron bullets or more, not counting the small cannons attached to each brigade, [-] infantry, more than [-] combat engineers, and [-] first-in-battalion grenadiers. The strength is nearly [-].

The number of cavalry is three times that of the Allied Forces, and the artillery is four times that of the Allied Forces regardless of quality.

On the infantry side, except for the mixed hot and cold weapons of one division, the rest are flint guns that can be inserted into short spears.

The coalition has half arquebuses and half spearmen.

The battle was imminent, but a lobbyist ushered in the Mohist barracks.

A group of people walked out of the coalition barracks. The leader was a scholar. He wanted to see the Mohist giant and had something to talk about.

At this moment, I don't want to see it, I feel that it's just a lobbyist's nonsense, it's useless to talk, just beat it.

With such a great advantage, after this battle, the soldiers of Han, Qi, Wei, Wei, and Zhou Kezhan were all killed. The Mohist family had huddled on Sishang for more than [-] years and needed diplomatic means that were useless in the face of absolute power.

But the other party kept begging, saying that it was about the world.

It's just that Zhou Tianzi, Qihou Hanhou and others thought that they would be defeated, and they were not going to fight. After thinking about it, they agreed.

There were quite a few people present, preparations were made for tomorrow's battle, and the camping and security for the night had also been assigned, so there was no fuss.

Since it was decided to meet, many people had to be present as witnesses, and some secret rooms could not be kept silent.

The lobbyist from the Division of the Son of Heaven was searched and brought into the military account. After entering the account, he asked, "The war is imminent, but the master said that it is about the world, so I want to see it. I don't know what advice? If you are a lobbyist, Please return it."

The scholar bowed: "This time, I am here to congratulate the great Mohist."

"Zhou Tianzi was trapped in the formation and besieged by thousands of people; the Mohist army is strong and strong, and the hearts of the people are invigorated. This battle, the Mohist will definitely win."

"After this battle, the giant of the Mohist family will be the emperor. I came to congratulate you in the past."

It is strange to say this, although it is an obvious fact, but as a person from the coalition of princes, they actually used this as an introduction to the topic, and did not talk about the incompatibility of righteousness and the like.

I was a little excited in my heart, knowing that anyone who said that would have someone behind him, and it was rare to see such an enemy in these years: under the background of different meanings, those scholars who stubbornly supported the old rules basically couldn't say anything Together, there is no way to communicate effectively.

Since he said that, Shi also had to refute, and said: "Your words are absurd. As a Mohist giant, I firmly believe in the morality of choosing a worthy man as the emperor."

"A big man lives in the world and does his part. I think I am a sage, so I can run for the emperor. However, it does not mean that the Mohist giant must be the emperor. If this battle is settled, new rules and laws must be established. The rules for selecting emperors, princes, and high officials, even if you are a Mohist giant, you must abide by this rule."

"It can only be said that if you want to benefit the world, you will live and die for it? If everyone thinks that being elected as my emperor is beneficial to the world, then how can I refuse? The only way is to die and die."

"Bow to all the people in the world, just die your own life. Don't say that I must be the emperor, and I also have to respect the rules. The rules are the biggest."

The scholar nodded and said: "I made a slip of the tongue, that's right. But since the Mohists are for the benefit of the world, and say that the benefit of the world must be synonymous, universal love, and equality, then I can't say something for the benefit of the world." .”

"As the saying goes, Confucianism, Mohism, and Yang are the most prominent learning in the world."

"Yang Zhu's studies are all out of selfishness. He doesn't praise the ancients, he doesn't praise the sages, and he only talks about his own interests. As the saying goes, don't enter a dangerous city, don't stay in the army, and don't use the world's great interests to change one's shin. This is not impossible. The world can’t benefit the world for the sake of benefiting the world. It’s because everyone wants to benefit the world without benefiting the world, and everyone benefits the world without benefiting the world. There is no organization and no belief to gather people together, let’s not talk about it.”

"Only talk about Confucianism and Mozi. The studies of Confucius and Mozi all follow Yao and Shun, but their choices are different. They all claim to be true Yao and Shun. Yao and Shun will not come back to life. Who will determine the sincerity of Confucianism and Mozi? Yin Qi A hundred years old, Yu and Xia are two thousand years old, can you be familiar with the truth of Confucianism and Mohism?"

"Confucianism and Mohism are all based on Yao, Shun and Yu. But everyone in the world knows that Confucianism and Mohism are sworn enemies."

"Since this is the case, it can be known from the Mohist's art of explaining knowledge that the two are contradictory, either double false, or one true and one false, and there must be no two truths. I don't know much about the Mohist art of expressing knowledge, but I don't know if what I said is right. Woolen cloth?"

Shi nodded, the logic of the Mohists had indeed addressed this issue.

Confucianism and Mohism all say that they have summed up experience and knowledge from the history of Yao, Shun and Yu, and everyone in the world knows that Confucianism and Mohism are sworn enemies, so if Confucianism and Mohism are really derived from the experience and knowledge of history, or both False or false, or one true and one false, there is absolutely no two contradictory situations that are both true.

Shi Shi listened to these, but knew that these were just foreshadowing, what this person really wanted to say was in the back, and this was just an introduction to break the point.
