Chapter 103: Sincere Hypocrisy (2)
Shangqiu is the signing place for the two Mi Binghui Associations, and it is also the starting point for the third Mi Binghui Association that was unsuccessful twenty years ago. Shi is also a giant of the Mohist family. On this occasion, it is definitely appropriate to say Mi Binghui in common sense.
But in terms of specificity, the Mo family's army is still stationed in the Song State and has not yet withdrawn. The situation of Song State is a foregone conclusion. If Zheng State's life and death are uncertain, it will have a little other flavor.
Shi must have known that the princes would not agree, so he shouted loudly at this time to make public opinion all over the world support the Mohist school.
Just like the Wei, Han and Chu alliance now, they are not afraid to mention the anti-Mo manifesto made by the "Anti-Mo Alliance" and the emperor's father Yue Ling. They only dare to say clichés such as "to maintain peace in the Central Plains". At that time, domestic conscription and tax increase are said to be because the Mohist family expands in the Central Plains, so this shit pot is absolutely unacceptable.
Since we dare not directly mention the anti-Mo, anti-equality, anti-benefiting the people, resolving the three difficulties of the people, opposing the world's prosperity, and rebelling against both love, then we will naturally not miss this opportunity to take the opportunity to fight back.
You said it was for peace in the Central Plains, okay, not only did I want peace in the Central Plains, but I also advocated the world to stop war. If you don’t let go of the tariffs, it means not to let the people benefit; if you don’t reduce the army, it means preparing for war; if you build forts, it means that you violate peace...
Reaction is without courage, and it is not a big deal to attack. This is the crux of the current princes facing.
A man who is full of mind to unify the world is the most beneficial to Jiuzhou in the Xia Dynasty. He shouted out non-attack peace in front of the people, which was to kick the ball back to the princes of various countries.
Then Shi talked about the common ancestor of Zhuxia - a theory that the Mohist school in Si Shang has been spreading in recent years - and then talked about the interests of various countries, the interests of the people after the attack and suppression of war, and the dream of building a "National League" that will bring true peace to the world in the future.
In fact, he was not interested in this dream at all. If he really became a sinner who was afraid he would become a sinner in history.
But it did not prevent him from speaking out loudly at this time, and he used Zheng as an example very subtly, saying that if the League of Nations was really established, then if a small country like Zheng was invaded, the rest of the League of Nations should stand up and punish the injustice and help the weak.
It sounds quite a bit like "reshaping rituals and music", but of course this rituals and music is not the original rituals and music, because it is also necessary to find a reason for the Mohist army to send troops to Si Shang to meet the future rituals and music: it is beneficial to the people, what the people want.
Finally, Shi said that the Mo family had sent envoys to Wei, Chu, Han, Qin, Qi and other countries to inherit the will of their ancestors to sign a peace agreement under Shangqiu City, and invite all countries to come and participate and discuss major events together.
Five years ago, the Heze Alliance was in a state of vocabulary and did not mention the arguments of not attacking and stopping the war, because that was that time and that moment.
At this moment, it was also because of the Heze League five years ago, the Mixing Association one hundred and fifty years ago, and the Kuiqiu Association within two hundred and fifty years, which laid a sufficient humanitarian foundation.
Five years ago, the Heze League borrowed the morality of the Kuiqiu League that the Yellow River was not allowed to be excavated by the Kuiqiu League, and extended it to treaties such as the massacre of cities and the killing of prisoners. It seems that there is some moral foundation for the League of Nations.
But in reality, Shi knew very well that this call from the Bings Association will still be the same as the call from the Third Bings Association more than ten years ago.
Shi wanted to take this opportunity to turn the Zheng State issue into a Mohist country and gain support from the world's public opinion, and the King of Chu hoped to join the League of Nations to maintain the support of Zheng State as a buffer country.
The nonsense of rescuing wars is not to say it to the princes, but to the people of the world, and to continue to buy time and people's hearts for the Mohist family.
For Chu, Song and Zheng were both buffer states of Chu.
But for the Mohist school, Song is, Zheng is not.
Therefore, when the situation in the Song State could no longer be reversed, if the Mo family protected Zheng's independence, it would be "righteous"; while the Chu State protected Zheng's independence for "self-interest", the Chu State had much more concerns about Zheng State than the Mo family.
This time, the call for resolute war was the same as the time more than ten years ago. The Chu Congress wanted to join, but the Wei and Han Congress strongly rejected it.
It was just that time more than ten years ago, which was to make the Mo family completely abandon the fantasy of "the princes stopping the war" and prepare for the struggle.
This time, we are fighting for the Mohist family that the expected and estimated time of chaos: including the Xihe revenge war that Qin minister Laojun had to launch and the Chu State's reforms backlash coup.
The world is inevitable. There is no other form except a war that involves the entire Xia capital. The era of the destruction of the country and the sacrifice of the Spring and Autumn Period has passed. A great chaos that spans thousands of miles across the country and the world is suffering cannot be solved by a fantasy "National League".
Since I know in my heart that this is an impossible fantasy, it is very tempting to make the people in the world believe that the Mohist school has really thought about this fantasy.
For example, it is recommended that countries reduce their troops and that the quota of troops with national strength cannot exceed the number stipulated in the treaty to maintain balance.
For example, it is recommended that countries unify tariffs so that merchants and vendors from all countries who pay taxes in Wei State do not have to pay taxes in Chu State, which will facilitate the people and make the handicraft products on Si affordable to all people in the world.
For example, it is recommended that countries change their land systems, allow people from all countries to move freely, and organize poor people from all countries to reclaim large amounts of land in the South China Sea and Huaibei, so that people in the world no longer have the worries of hunger and cold.
For example, it is recommended that countries form a united water management officer to preside over the water management work in Kyushu, and the required costs shall be distributed equally by each country according to the land population.
For example, it is recommended that countries form a coalition force together, which is mainly responsible for the harassment and reaction of the advanced production relations of the Xia Dynasty by those backward and barbaric surrounding tribes.
All these sound very beautiful, the people like it very much, and they think about it everywhere, but the better they say, the less likely they are to be accepted by the nobles.
Especially tariffs, land system, water control, treaty and three armies, which are the basis for the maintenance of systemic governance by the nobles and monarchs. How could they accept it?
But this "fantasy" has a strong tradition as the basis in Zhuxia.
The international law of the Zhou Li era clearly stipulated the number of soldiers in each country: how many emperors have, how many dukes and marquis have, and how many earls have. This is the basis of traditional power, and it is also a fantasy of Confucianism's self-restraint and restoration of rituals. The people have some desires for this fantasy, and there are many scholars who hope.
Now it is appropriate to borrow the magic reforms of Zhou Li, go to the emperor to talk about the princes, suggesting that Wei, Chu, Mo family, and Qin each have ten divisions; while Qi, Yan and Zhao each have six divisions; Zhou, Yue, Ba, Shu, Zhongshan, Song, Zheng, Jin, Wei each have four divisions, thus achieving a balance between the Xia and promoting peace...
In addition, the land in the South China Sea area is fertile and mature three times a year, which is an important place to solve the hunger and despair of the people in the Xia Dynasty. However, there are barbarian groups, and three divisions are stationed in the South China Sea.
The northern Linhu was barbaric and backward, which posed a great threat to the wealth and production of the people. Therefore, it included Wei Zhishang County, Zhao Zhigaoliu and others stationed ten divisions of the coalition forces of various countries, stationed in Yunzhong.
In order to prevent possible wars in various countries and maintain the real non-attack and suppression of war, the various divisions of Jiuzhou formed a total of ten divisions according to their land and population, stationed in the State of Song. The people of the world elected the most wise man with the intention of "not attacking and suppressing wars to benefit the world", in order to restrict the country from wars, and the money required shall be divided equally by each country according to its population and land.
This kind of fantasy rooted in traditional is the most deceptive and the world can think that this is a solution to the chaos in the world. After all, this method is not created by the Mohist family or imported, but traditional, with wide recognition of fantasy.
Is this fantasy suitable for five years ago? Because there was really a little chance that such a fantasy would be achieved at the Heze League five years ago. Even if it was a slight possibility, I would not dare to try it.
Today I have a big talk about this fantasy, because today I really have no chance of realizing it.
In the most sincere tone, he said what he least believed in. When he was in Shangqiu's speech, he was sure that it would soon cause a sensation in the world.
He said it very well. For example, the coalition forces of ten divisions stationed in the State of Song would also think that this is reasonable. There must be troops to restrict each country from fighting. Moreover, it is obvious who will be selected to command the person who is the most "restrained and not attacked the world"?
The four Qin, Mo, Chu, and Wei, who were allowed to have ten divisions, actually Wei and Chu had a grudge from Daliang, Wei and Qin had a grudge from Xihe, and the Mo family was the most alert direction of Wei. If the Marquis of Wei could agree, it would be a real ghost.
In fact, according to Shi's theory of lies and fantasy, Qin was not qualified to have ten divisions, because its national strength was still considered weak by the Central Plains countries, but Shi's acceptable reason was that Qin needed to fight against the Western Rong...
The problem is the ownership of Xihe and the ownership of Daliang... Not to mention the Mohist school, just talking about these two issues, if the League of Nations can be established and peace can be achieved through verbal negotiations, it can be regarded as a mysterious thing like the Luyang Gong wielding his sword to return to Japan.
However, Shi's "sincerity" words attracted the support of many people who heard these words in Shangqiu City.
Some scholars who even think that the Mohist practices have become more radical and more criticized in recent years, after listening to the right speech, they sighed with tears: "The Mohist family is beneficial to the world, not the ambition to stop the war. If this can be done, the world will be settled!"
"In the past, Zhong Ni ran around various countries like a dog that was lost. What did he do? It was nothing more than to re-rituals to determine the world. However, the etiquette collapsed and the music was broken, and the emperor could not settle the dispute between the princes without a teacher. The Mo family did this because of the great determination of the world."
Some people even thought that there were rumors that the Song State would establish a standing army of 30,000 people with the help of the Mo family, which happened to be the force of four divisions. It seemed that the Mo family had prepared for a long time and really wanted to eliminate the war in the world and there would be no war.
Seeing the people cheering, he said to Dai Cong: "The people are the most important things in the world, and the country is the next. What the people want and like should be what the ruler wants."
"What do you want and wish in the world? This is something that cannot be ignored. If this matter can be settled and the world is stable, there will be no more suffering in the summers. It is true that the tens of thousands of comrades in the Mo family wish in my heart."
