The first eighty-ninth chapters are endless (twelve)
The Mohist school has some ideal complexes, which the King of Chu knew about.
It would be impossible for the King of Chu to be unmoved if he had given these things.
After returning from Pei County, the Chu envoy informed him of what he saw and heard in Pei County, and the King of Chu may not agree with the political changes that the Mozhe had carried out in Pei County, but the shock brought by the progress of productivity was real.
Shi has been changing the concept: a monarch can be used as a representative of a country, so the strength and prosperity of a country are the strength and prosperity of a monarch... But this monarch can only be a virtual monarch, just a symbol, and when it becomes this symbol, it is no longer a human being.
Under this distortion of concepts, the King of Chu was extremely enthusiastic about iron tools, ox plowing, textiles, new species... all of this.
It is precisely because of the ideal complex that the Mo family often reveals that the King of Chu said to himself: "If I don't agree, in the eyes of Mo students, I will be an unrighteous king. If the Three Jins pretend to agree, I am afraid that the Mo family will fully support the Three Jins."
"If you agree, the national strength will double in the future and the conquest will not be necessary. But this time, Shangqiu siege needs to be completed, which is a problem."
If this siege cannot be completed, the prestige of the King of Chu will not be enough to carry out changes and strengthen the monarchy.
The mysterious things that Shi said hidden the corresponding production relations, which made the King of Chu extremely moved, and Shi was also considering that the King of Chu might refuse.
He was not prepared to make a treaty, which was impossible, unless both sides were exhausted.
Considering the reaction of the Chu people, Shi sighed: "This siege of the city still depends on the Three Jins to send troops. The gains and losses of Shangqiu have nothing to do with Song, but are related to the battle between Jin and Chu."
"We will also send people to the Three Jins to convince the king if they agree."
When he said this, he showed a compassionate expression and sighed: "If it can be achieved, there will be fewer disasters in all countries and will be considered a benefit to the world."
"At that time, the Mo will join the alliance before the kings of Zheng, Wei, Song, Lu, etc., and they will be strictly neutral. If there are conquests in Jin and Chu, the Mo will help defend the city. If the Jin people attack, they will defend the city and wait for Chu; if the Chu people attack, they will defend the city and wait for Jin."
"In this way, let's talk about convincing the Three Jins and Chu. If the Three Jins and Chu stop the war, Qin, Qi and Yan can join the alliance and all countries will guard against each other."
"If wars can be eliminated, it is best. If you stop fighting within a few years, rest and rehabilitate, and double your wealth and population, this is also a better way for the monarch to make profits than war."
"Whoever joins the alliance will mine iron ore, smel iron tools, teaches farming, and organizes textiles in various countries... Whoever does not join the alliance will never pass on the art of iron smelting textile farming to the state."
After he finished speaking, he bowed to the King of Chu and said, "Can the reputation of the Mo, these iron tools, and the experiences of the nobles in Pei, prove that the Mo's statement that the wealth and population doubled without any dispute in the world?"
The King of Chu believed that the State of Chu had a large copper mine and copper smelting technology was good, but it was too luxurious to use bronze to make agricultural tools.
These iron tools are extremely cheaper than copper, so I don't think they are lying, and these iron tools are better than those simple tools no matter how you look at them.
However, the King of Chu did not agree, but asked: "The alliance was not accurate to the people of Chu himself. If I, Chu, retreated from the army, may the Mo people guarantee that the Three Jins will not attack Chu?"
Shi shook his head and said, "No. Because he has not convinced yet, the Mozhe will not say what has not been done yet."
The King of Chu smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I believe your words, but I cannot agree to withdraw my troops and join the alliance. If I don't attack Jin, Jin will attack me, and only then can an alliance be formed with Jin and I."
The King of Chu thought that after saying so much, he still hoped that he could withdraw his troops, so he refused directly. Even though he was unwilling to accept it, he understood that integrity was extremely important at this time. If he agreed but went back on his word, there would be trouble in the future.
If an alliance can really be formed, it will be a good thing for the King of Chu. He can carry out some domestic changes with drastic measures.
But at this time, you must not agree.
Shixin said, of course I know you can't agree. You think the Chu people have a great advantage now. If you agree at this time, you will not be considered a hero.
So he sighed and said, "Your words are right. The fight meeting is not a matter of a country. This time, the siege of Shangqiu was not a dispute between Song and Chu, but a dispute between Jin and Chu. Isn't this wrong?"
To the outside world, the King of Chu could claim that he was punishing the State of Song to defeat the alliance.
But in front of the Moh who was sure of the general trend of the world, the King of Chu smiled and admitted it.
The Song State was not a problem at all. This time, it was to compete with the Three Jins for hegemony, and to show Zheng, Wei and other countries.
"Since this is the case, it is better to take three years. Within three years, the Mexicans tried their best to lobby various countries to promote this matter."
"Before this matter is done, Mozhe still guards the city and helps the weak."
"If three years later, the Three Jin Dynasties have not agreed, the Mozhe will go deep into countries that are willing to join the Mozhe and teach iron smelting and other means."
"If you can make laws, change, or express the meaning of benefiting the world, the Mo may be willing to help him determine the world!"
"After all, if you can't even agree to something like Mibing Alliance, how can you expect those kings to benefit the world?"
After he said this, the King of Chu felt a little moved, and he suddenly realized that this matter was beneficial but not harmful.
The three-year period is nothing more than the time when a Mohist lobbying various countries. The Mohist said this, three years shall prevail. You may fight within three years. Even if you have agreed to stop the war in the future, but what will you do in the past three years? The Mohist should help the weak defend the city, and help the weak defend the city.
But three years later, once the lobbying is successful, if the balance under a brand new treaty system is best formed, all countries can rest and recuperate, thereby changing technology and benefiting the world.
If the lobbying fails in three years, then the Mozhe will be the first to help those countries that agree to stop war within three years to change their technology.
This time, the Chu people were the first to get the moon. If they could agree to Mo first, they would take the initiative in three years.
The Jin people could only passively. Once they accepted it, it would mean a truce. The King of Chu believed that he had a great advantage on his side and could gain more hegemony advantages within three years.
There is a precedent for demarcating the sphere of influence in the first two war meetings.
This time, Shangqiu, siege, now, would take three years. I am afraid that the problem of the State of Song will be solved in another half a year. As long as we maintain our strategic advantages within three years, the Chu people will still have an advantage when signing the alliance agreement on the Binghui Association.
If the Three Jins are defeated, the Three Jins will definitely not sign a war-stop alliance. At that time, according to Mozhe, the Qu is in the Three Jins but not in Chu.
As for the defeat of Chu, the King of Chu never thought that with his talent, he would be able to gain the upper hand within three years.
Three years later, it is also an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the prestige accumulated in three years and the peace brought by the slaughter of war to carry out domestic reforms.
But he didn't know that after three years of such a strange time, he seemed to be trying to convince the monarchs of various countries, but in fact... he was hiding evil intentions.
The signing of the alliance must be signed by the monarchs of various countries. Within three years, a large number of monarchs will die in the world.
Qin, Zhao, Han, Chu, etc., all these countries will die, and they are almost concentrated within one or two years.
The dispute over inheritance rights, the dispute between the reformists and the conservatives, and the disputes within the Three Jin Dynasties... will all be fully launched in one or two years.
Shi never thought that this treaty would be implemented, and he was more convinced that whoever countries complete the reforms and technological innovations would tear down the covenant and expand externally.
The Mohist school did not place such a thing as benefiting the world on a treaty that would definitely be torn.
The three-year period seemed to be beneficial to the people of Chu, but in fact it was beneficial to the people of Mo.
The Chu people naturally thought that they could not fail, but the Mo people also believed that this time they could defeat the Chu people without the help of the Three Jins, forcing the Chu people to retreat, thus shaking the world.
The remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period, the nobles who were qualified to join the alliance in various countries fought bloody in the war, but they were still relatives and friends in normal times, and this kind of thing often happened.
Regardless of winning or losing, the Chu State and the Mo family will not have great hatred within three years, it is nothing more than winning or losing.
The people of Chu hoped that they could take the strategic initiative with confidence and boldness, and they could also be confident that they would not be rejected by the Mos.
So I hoped that the three-year agreement would be able to persuade the King of Chu to agree.
...The Mozhe re-sacrifices, so some rituals are needed, and the rituals seem to be more suitable than this wooden tower left behind before.
The main sacrificial person must be the Mo. How to sacrifice at that time will not be Suishi say what exactly is Suishi.
The three-year period given by Shi made the King of Chu lose any concerns to the greatest extent, and felt that it was a good thing that was completely beneficial and harmless.
And in the words of Shi, some of the baits deliberately left behind also made the King of Chu feel moved.
As Shi said, it seems that if a monarch can make the Mohist think that it can "benefit the world", then the Mohist can help him "determine the world in one".
This temptation comes from the skills of the Moji, the strength demonstrated by the Moji, and the huge reserves of the Taxi class.
Later, there were young men from the Warring States Period who raised 3,000 tourists, but they were afraid that the number was not as high as that of the ink. Therefore, once the ink master went to the open, it was indeed a force that could allow the kings of various countries to recruit.
Moreover, these forces seem to be able to fight against the nobles and princes. As for what to do, the Mohist thinks is "a heart that benefits the world". In the eyes of the King of Chu, this requires inquiries and can also be disguised.
However, what is said has always been "The Mohist thinks that you are beneficial to the world, so that you can help you decide the world in one." As for whether it is or not... What is said does not count, what the masters say does not count. The Mohist family has its own rules and ambitions, so there will naturally be a conclusion.
Seeing that the King of Chu seemed to be already moved, he added another fire and pointed at the iron tools on the ground: "These iron tools can actually be smelted into swords and spears. Moreover, the smelted swords are even sharper than Qi Tong. If you defend the city in the future, the Mozhe can also use these iron swords and spears, which can be said to be one to five, but sharp cannot be used."
"Ah... Everything is beneficial and harmful. If this iron tool is beneficial to the world, it can be used by the people more than the people; if it is willing to dominate the world, it will also make thousands of people displaced and have no support, and the widowed mother cried..."
These seemingly compassionate words are actually tempting the King of Chu.
After hesitating for a moment, the King of Chu finally said, "I am determined to make no disputes in the world anymore, and I believe that you can make the people more effective. The Chu people can abide by the three-year agreement first. If an alliance is formed in three years, I will never fight an unjust war!"
He said it firmly and thought to himself: Three years later, the Chu people had the advantage, and the Jin people would have the alliance even if they did not join forces. It was just right to return to the country to change.
Shi showed a longing expression and thought to himself: Forget it, you can't live for three years, your two sons will be beaten to death and will not hesitate to split the State of Chu.
He had a ulterior motive in his heart, but he said, "The Mo family values ghosts and gods, and they must sacrifice and be supervised by God's Heavenly Ghosts to believe it. If the Chu people make an alliance, if the Three Jins disagree in three years later, the Mo people's iron smelting method and other strange techniques must be passed on to Chu and not entered the Three Jins."
"I hope you can keep the covenant and no longer cause unjust wars."
