The journey of a letter

Chapter 847 Journey of a Letter
The scholar walked up to the carpenter and pretended to chat a few words casually. He was a millet man not far from Zezhuo, and he revealed the incision of the joint a little bit in his words.

The carpenter handed the letter to him when no one was around, and the scholar Mo Zhe took a chance when no one was around, and saw the contents of the letter—send the letter into the city as soon as possible.

He was in charge of food, and knowing that there was no such opportunity, he found another Mohist who belonged to the same line as him and was born as a noble son.

In terms of identity alone, it is said that this noble bastard is less likely to become a Mohist than a down-and-out scholar.

This aristocrat who was born as a bastard son is only 25 or [-] years old this year. When he was born, the Mo family had just undergone the reorganization that changed the future development.

After birth, because he was a bastard, and the family was not too big, he was not raised as an heir.

But also received a certain education.

His father participated in the battle of the three Jins against Qi and the subsequent battle of Jin and Chu, and made great achievements.

Not only was the Three Jins the birthplace of military exploits, but South Korea gained a lot of territory from the ensuing Zheng Guo Rebellion, so his father was divided into some fiefdoms, and the family's original fiefdoms were still near Yingshui.

When he was a child, Moyue's Sishang hegemony war broke out in Sishang, and that war also had a certain impact on South Korea.

At that time, because Tengcheng was destroyed for a few days, the world was shocked. The Junzi Army of the Yue Kingdom who had just bullied the Qi State with Sanjin and forced Qihou Luhou to drive a car to serve as guards was completely wiped out. Gunpowder weapons and new tactics were used for the first time. The figure was revealed in front of the people of the world.

Along with the article about the destruction of Tengcheng and the spread of the article "The Victory of Heavenly Reason" to the world, the fathers of the noble sons believed that the sons of the nobles would inherit the fiefdom and identity, and these sons should learn the tactics and techniques of the Mohists. In order to be able to make great military exploits again in the future.

This is also the common thinking of many nobles after the Moyue War. On the one hand, the Mohists hadn’t shown enough terrifying fangs at that time; It was even more so after the defeat of Chu State.

Indeed, the theory of the Mohist school, in the eyes of the nobles at that time, was that there was a layer of grease on the outside and a highly poisonous thing wrapped in the inside.

However, there is no other place to learn, and those old-style aristocratic education cannot make the nobles learn those new things.

So it was like this, the noble bastard was able to enter some lecture halls allowed by the Mohist family at that time with the support of the family, and received some education in writing, numbers, astronomy, geography and natural knowledge.

It seems that there is nothing too outrageous, especially when South Korea occasionally censors the content of the lectures in the school, but the poisonous oil on the outside is also poisonous after all...

Especially things like text can make the highly toxic spread spontaneously, which is completely uncontrollable.

Slowly, the noble and concubine knew that the earth under his feet was round, and then the values ​​of respect and inferiority originally based on the difference between heaven and earth gradually collapsed in his heart; Some changes that are visible to the naked eye brought about in Korea, the belief that the old system is sacred since ancient times has collapsed; this nobleman has accepted the theory that Taoism follows nature in ancient times, and the values ​​​​of the monarchy and noble fiefdoms have collapsed since ancient times... …

Equality, universal love, synonymous, wealth comes from labor, the suffering of the people, the meaningless disputes of the Xia, profit and righteousness... These things are like a river that has broken its embankment. With his growth, the breach of the embankment Expand day by day.

After learning to write, the "novels", "newspapers" and "stories" from Sishang are slowly corroding his mind. This is a kind of spontaneous corrosion, and every reading will bring great benefits. Pleasure and the empty resentment that follows it.

The statement that the nobleman is a silverfish made him angry, but after the anger, he was unable to change and had to accept the pain; the statement of Jianai made him doubt, but after the doubt, he wanted to know the reasoning process more and more; the statement of equality Let him be afraid, but after the fear is the self-awakening of his status as a bastard.

All of these made him more and more convinced that the path he chose was correct, and he also publicly made some "black" remarks in South Korea.

But he is not a commoner, he is still an aristocrat after all, he is a member of the aristocrat's own family, and South Korea has not yet completed the centralization of power.

However, his father and brothers were full of vigilance about this. After several quarrels, he found that he and his father and elder brothers couldn't make sense at all. Watching their lives made him feel bored, a sense of guilt of noble origin Spread all day.

Under such circumstances, he joined the Mohist School and became a secret Mohist, and then put away his attitude of making these remarks in public, and then entered the circle of young nobles with the help of his father, which can be regarded as "wish to get the order" Make up the number of black clothes to defend the palace."

The guards of the palace are all of noble origin, and being a palace guard is not something that ordinary people can do. The main reason is that it is extremely difficult to enter this circle, one needs to be born, and it is impossible to expand communication in the noble circle.

The battle between Qi and Mo broke out five years ago, and the Sishang righteous division once again shook the world. Qi, which had been a powerful country since the Taigongwang era, was completely defeated. The role of firearms, stirrups, and artillery was more obvious.

In this case, South Korea also seeks to form a new type of firearms unit and new type of cavalry like the Sishang righteous division.

These things cannot be trained with closed eyes, and the relationship between Wei Han and the Mo family is not good, and it is impossible for the Mo family to send instructors, so some nobles who accepted the knowledge of Sishang because of their parents' sensitivity when they were young became the new army. backbone strength.

Aristocratic origin is for loyalty, at least the Mohists belong to nobles who get something for nothing, and a new army with bright lines, prospects and capabilities must be in the hands of the nobles.

Knowledge is for military training. The knowledge of the old era cannot adapt to the new era. Many things are not that simple. Although there are some nobles who "study abroad" when Sishang recruited students, they are not enough to support them, and these people may They are more or less bewitched by Mohism, and South Korea is not too relieved.

As a result, this noble son became an officer of the new Korean army.

It is said that it is a new army, but it is not too new. It is just a normal evolution from the main force of chariot warfare to infantry. Even without these new things, it is the heavy infantry corps of Qin after the reform that won the world in the end.

Wei Wuzu in Wei State is also an attempt. It is nothing more than this kind of military system reform coincides with the emergence of gunpowder, which makes the direction of change naturally develop towards the old military system in Sishang.

The mix of matchlock guns and spearmen became the standard for this new Korean army.

The noble bastard became an officer of the new army, commanding two companies, including a company of arquebuses and two companies of spearmen.

It's just that South Korea has not had large-scale battles in recent years, and has not yet made meritorious service.

This time the division of the Zheng Kingdom made many nobles from the same background as him aware of the hope, eager to make military exploits this time, jump up and fight against the old military nobles.

In fact, just as they hoped, the siege of Xinzheng this time was based on the artillery bombardment of the city wall. Although the progress was not smooth after the bombardment, the officers of the new South Korean army were very happy no matter what.

If it goes well, then it will be the meritorious service made by the firearms, and their new army, which has never existed before, will gradually be reused.

If it doesn't go well, it means that the quantity and quality of the new army is insufficient, and it should be worthy of reuse by the higher authorities.

This noble bastard knew very well that there must be Mohists in the three companies he was in charge of, at least some people who were close to Mohism and had received Mohism propaganda.

Although he is a secret ink artist, he is not on the same line as others, but if he observes some habits in his daily life carefully, it is easy to see which ones may be "one of his own".

He is also lax about this. He has heard some tunes that are considered forbidden songs in Korea more than once; The new words brought are also heard more than once.

But he didn't pin his hopes on others, since the letter arrived at him, and it was written on the outside that it should be sent into the city. This was an order from his superiors, so he must carry it out.

How to send it in, he has already made a decision.

The siege of the city has not been smooth these few days. Although the gap has widened, the defense behind the city is still solid.

There will be another siege soon, and he hopes to participate in the siege as the first boarder at that time, and find a chance to defect.

He also knew what it meant for him to do so, which meant that he would break with everything he had before.

Aristocratic status, father and brother, loyalty and filial piety, family, friends, all social relations outside the line of Mohists, charges of treason... all kinds of things.

But after hesitating for a moment, he strengthened his mind and thought: "If you want to benefit the world, you will live and die. Since you promise to live in the world, you can give up all of this."

There is always a choice to be made, sooner or later.

Just when he was determined to die, a strange sentence that he had heard a long time ago appeared in his ear.

Only one kind of person can say such weird words, and that is the Mohists who need to contact him.

In astonishment, he raised his head and found that there were a few standing opposite him, not from their company, who seemed to have been waiting for him in the bathroom for a long time. This was almost the only way for the front line to meet and connect with each other.

There were five people standing on the opposite side, they were the soldiers of the First Corps, and the leader should be a Corps Leader, who was looking at him solemnly at the same time.

It's just this kind of head-up that makes him sure that the opposite is the Mohist who is in contact with him.If not, common people like Wu Zhang would definitely be frightened and nervous when they see nobles, and they dare not look directly at them. This is a very common but presumptuous gaze, which reveals that he has studied Mohism for more than ten years. The word "equality" is common in articles.

Equality is the most excessive transgression under the hierarchy.
