Chapter 827
At this time, the king of Chu was cursing stupidity.
"Using untouchables in the sense of law and etiquette as the backbone of the army, and then calling on them to defend the system in which the noble will always be noble and the humble will always be humble. Isn't this stupid?"
"You will never understand why the soldiers were the pillars of the three armies in the past! Because the soldiers were protecting their own interests, but now they let the infantry become the pillars of the three armies and don't give them benefits. Isn't this stupid? What is it?"
"I have said long ago that with the advent of gunpowder, the military system and the civil system must be changed. The old system can no longer be used, but there are many people who oppose it. Isn't this stupid?"
"Only change the military system but not the civilian system. Sooner or later, the generals of Chu will not be Chu, and the generals of the country will not be the country!"
"Or, put an end to all new weapons, go completely old-fashioned, destroy all new things, and make the patriarchal clan respectful, so that one warrior can fight hundreds of people, so that all the village shooters are common people who can eat enough, continue to use chariots, continue to use copper soldiers , continue to use the bow and arrow."
"Or, we have to change the law!"
What Xiong suspected was angry was that the nobles of the state of Chu were putting a noose around their necks recklessly. The times have changed, with firearms, but only the army has changed and the military system has not changed. What is that? ?
If you want private soldiers to have combat effectiveness, you have to train soldiers according to Sishang's method.
To train soldiers according to Sishang's method, you have to distribute weapons to the common people and serfs and organize them.
Organize them and issue weapons, but lose the tactical confrontation advantage of the warrior class under the old system, and then continue to intensify the bullying of the people. Doesn't this mean that you are looking for death?
Zuo Yin, who belonged to the aristocratic faction, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is too worried. The people are ignorant and dull, mob."
"Guanzi said: In the mob, although there is joy at the beginning, they will vomit with each other later, even if they are kind, they will not be close."
"If there is no phoenix as the head bird, even if the foolish people gather together, they will dissipate for profit and harm each other in the future."
"This matter is all due to the leadership of Zhan Zhi's generation. We only need to send the three armies to kill him, and there is nothing to worry about."
In the past, Bandit Zhi led an uprising of more than [-] people, across the southwest of Shandong, attacking cities and looting land, and now he is called Bandit Zhi.
However, Bandit Zhi is still of noble origin after all, and his grandparents were Luhou. After all, the Zhan family originated from the son of Luhou, the son of Zhan, and the son who killed the king in the coup d'état begged for Zhan to be his clan. The family, when it comes to Robo Zhi's generation, is still regarded as its own family within the nobles, so when the nobles talk about it, they can call it both Robo Zhi and Zhan Zhi.
What Zuo Yin means is that we have ruled like this for thousands of years, and the people are generally fine. If there were no internal traitors like Zhan Zhi, I wouldn’t be a nobleman, and I would think that the current system is unreasonable , The people are ignorant and don't necessarily know the market, so it doesn't matter how you squeeze it.
You can see that something happened here in Anlu, isn't it also because there are people of noble origin, who are full and have nothing to do to pursue real equality and the well-being of the people?
Therefore, Zuo Yin believes that the key to the problem is not to reform the law, but to get rid of those who have the ability to lead the people to revolt.
Anyone who thinks that people should be benefited, equal, universally loved, and opposed to unjust wars is suspected of being a master of ink and should be executed as soon as possible.
When Xiong Yi heard this, he immediately understood what Zuo Yin wanted to say.
Sure enough, after Zuo Yin finished speaking, he said: "The number of Zhan Zhi's people today is due to the fact that Sishang Mohism's theory of troubled times spread everywhere, so that from Juyong in Yan to Jiuyi in Chu, there are many people talking about Mohism." A man of righteousness."
"Just like the theory of the peasant family, there is no theory of troubled times. It is nothing more than begging the emperor to grant land for farming. However, since the theory of the Mohist school has been widely spread, the theory of the farm family has become more violent. It's pleading, but there are horrible words of persecution and destruction."
"That's why, if we want the state of Chu to last long and the ancestral temple to be stable, we must eliminate the Mohists in Chu."
"Nowadays Mohists are giving lectures in the great city and Juyi, and some Mohist are traveling in Chu to measure mountains and rivers in the name of inheriting Dayu's aspirations. These people are now under control. As long as they are all killed, they will be free from worry. .”
Zuo Yin cleverly turned the topic back to the content of "eliminating Mohists in Chu". After the coup of the Song Dynasty, many Mohists who were active in public were controlled and restricted, including those who carried telescopes and various instruments to measure mountains and rivers. young people.
The nobles were very dissatisfied with the reform policy of the king of Chu. The attitude of the king of Chu towards the Song incident and his decision to take a step back and complete the reform first made the nobles resent.
There were nobles who hoped that they could not defeat Sishang and kill the Mohists who were active in their fiefdoms by means of "down to defeat the top"?
As long as you do it, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between Chu State and Sishang. At that time, the king of Chu and Sishang will be forced to go to war. If the king of Chu is killed in a few years, then the world can be changed.
However, the king of Chu has a new army and elite Che Guang, as well as Dayi and the prestige of these years, and the nobles also have their own ideas about each other.
If I didn't kill you after I killed you, and the king used the reason of disobeying the king's orders to kill my whole family and return my fiefdom, wouldn't that be an unjust death?
Although the king of Chu did not order that Mohists and public surveyors were not allowed to be killed, he did not say that they would be killed, and there was an agreement with the Mohists before that the Mohism was free to give lectures in Chu State, build altars for sacrifices, etc., in exchange for Sishang If a nobleman made the first move, the King of Chu would actually have a reason to kill someone.
When Xiong Yi heard Zuo Yin mentioning this, he couldn't help guessing secretly, could it be that the nobles led this uprising to intimidate him, so that he could rebel against Mo, interrupt the reform and start a war against Sishang?
After all, the power is distributed to the nobles, and he is still the king of Chu, and the family can still pass it on.
But if the power is seized by the people, I'm afraid the ancestral temple will be ruined. After all, the common people don't have a surname, and it's not Mi's surname Xiong.
There are so many theories of the Mohist school, and the emperor also likes sayings such as appreciating the virtuous to curb the power of the nobility, but the sentence of choosing a virtuous person as the emperor is too terrible.
This problem has become even more serious, especially after the Mohists recognized the Taoist saying that "Tao follows nature" and have been advocating that "Tao is the will of heaven".
Tao follows nature, what is nature?In ancient times, it was a natural state to choose sages as emperors, so Taoism naturally carried the "legal principle" and "will of heaven" for choosing sages as emperors.
The King of Chu naturally has his own worries, but he also understands that with the current policies of the Mo family, it is actually possible to follow the path of the Mo family and leave the Mo family with nowhere to go.Concentrating the land in the hands of the nobles, getting rid of the nobles, and creating a large number of free farmers and self-cultivating farmers, wouldn't that alleviate the contradictions and strengthen the royal power by the way?
The people are full, except for the nobles who have nothing to do, how many people will think about choosing the emperor, everyone is equal, and so on?Besides, even if someone takes the lead, how many people will rebel?
The current problem is not absolute land annexation, but the system of feudalism, which makes it impossible to strengthen the royal power, the central government has no money, and cannot organize the people to reclaim land that could not be reclaimed in the Iron Age. Is it possible for the people to reclaim land by themselves? In order to restrain the people, the nobles also do not allow the people to move and cultivate privately...
In fact, there are solutions that can be solved, but the nobles disagree with all these solutions.
Strengthening the royal power requires officials. Today, half of the literate scholars are aristocrats, and half of them are privately educated. They grew up watching the Mohist paper books, which are full of equality and love for the people. This makes the King of Chu very desperate.
Using the first half of the people is equivalent to asking those people to take their own lives. I am afraid that as soon as the order is issued, those people will take the life of the king of Chu first, and then change the king of Chu.
The people in the second half were afraid that they would kill the nobles if they used it. After this group of people wondered why the King of Chu would kill the King of Chu along with him.
After thinking about it, Xiong suspected that he realized the horror of the two unremarkable technologies of "grass silk" and "printing".
Grass and silk paper increased the population of the literate class of tourists. Of course, there was also the material basis of the agricultural revolution, which made there be more "leisure classes" in the world and could support more non-agricultural population.
The secret of printing is in the hands of the Mohist, so that all the tourists in the world can recognize the Mohist's horizontal and vertical characters, and discuss the Mohist's revised theory of equality, love and synonym.
These two things that appeared in the past 20 years completely shattered the sanctity of noble blood; and the popularity of gunpowder blew up the foundation of the nobles' violent rule.
Legal reason is gone, and violence cannot be defeated. Is this world where the noble will always be noble and the humble will always be humble? Is it really about to perish?
However, even if the king of Chu understood, he was still full of vigilance towards the nobles at this time, what is long is long, and what is at this time is at this time.
Zuo Yin is nothing more than hoping that this time when Wei, Chu and Han will meet and the king of Chu will patrol the border of Chen and Cai, he will completely break with the Mohists, thus prompting Chu and Mo to go to war.
Whether you can win a fight or not is another matter. There has never been an example of a country that was destroyed in a single battle before. Even if Wu Guo attacked Chu in the past, wouldn't it be the final restoration of the country?
Furthermore, if the battle is lost, the land closest to Sishang is Chencai. After the Wang Ziding incident, the king of Chu directly governed it, and ceding it to the Mo family greatly reduced the power of the king of Chu. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to be able to contact Wei and Han to fight against Mo? ?It can't be said that the Mo family won the battle, but ceded the aristocratic fiefs in the heart of Chu, right?
Besides, it can also make Chu people build up hatred against the Mohist family. As long as there is a war, people will die, and the most dead are disciples. At that time, it will be said that your father and brothers were all killed by Mohist people. Whoever does not oppose Mohist will not Loyalty is not filial piety, and filial piety suppresses the morality of the Mohist school, which can reduce the penetration of the Mohist school into Chu.
But all the nobles considered, except for the last one, were not what the King of Chu was willing to do.
The king of Chu has only so many forces, and only those directly under his jurisdiction. If there is a war with the Mo family, the private soldiers of the nobles can only be subordinates, and the real main force must be the new army. I am happy to lose the nobles. It also declined.
If there is a war, let the nobles bring private soldiers to the battlefield, of course, we can tacitly recreate the battle of Daliang City where "the king who holds the guild will die more" with the Mohist tacit understanding, and open the way for the centralization of power.
However, if the operation is not done properly, the King of Chu is afraid that the Mo family will rush to the hinterland of the Chu State, and there is no need to occupy it all the time. As long as there is a fight like Qi Xinnan, the State of Chu will be destroyed... After all, the King of Chu knows that the private soldiers of the nobles are fighting with the Sishang Rebels as a result of.
Furthermore, Chen Cai's division is now part of Wang Shi's army, which county soldiers and noble private soldiers are called?How could the nobles agree to let the nobles die without moving the main force of Master Wang?
And the most important thing, what should we do if we start a war with the Mohists at this time?No change, sooner or later the state of Chu will end, the King of Chu knows this very well, even if he does not forget Yu Sishang, he will die in Wei and Qin, so what is the difference for the descendants of the Chu family?
The matter in the Anlu area is not unacceptable to the king of Chu. The slogan is anti-nobility and not anti-king. He hopes that the emperor will centralize power to suppress noble ministers and blood-sucking merchants. Hit the nobles hard.
Fortunately, the aristocrats took the lead in launching the attack. They wanted to take advantage of this incident to clear up the Mohists and force Mo Chu to go to war to weaken the royal power.
As soon as Zuo Yin finished speaking, a large group of noble ministers agreed that this was the solution to the problem.
Xiong suspiciously thought, if I hadn't brought Che Guangxin army with me, I'm afraid you would have made a remonstrance.Fortunately, Wang Ziliang's husband is in Cangwu, Dongting, and the prince Jian Guo is a reformist, so it can be maintained for the time being.
However, everyone is making trouble, which is actually expressing their position: the nobles are already dissatisfied and even can't stand the reform. Today's support for Zuo Yin is to express their attitude and let the king of Chu think for himself.
At the time of the stalemate, a close attendant came and reported: "Kai Zhishi went to Shangqiu and issued a declaration, stating that if the countries do not interfere, the Mohist will withdraw from the Song Dynasty without leaving a single soldier; if the countries interfere, the Mohist will Fulfill the covenant and righteousness, and do not hesitate to shed the blood of the last Mohist."
"The Mohists have sent envoys to 'appear' with the king."
The King of Chu was not shocked when he heard the words, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Kai Zhishi came to Shangqiu in person, and it was he who said it himself. The state of Song... I'm afraid it's irreversible."
