Chapter 198: Powerless to Intervene

Everything has been normal these days.

Although the whole country knew that all countries would definitely choose to interfere, because this time the Mohist family did a little too "out of the way", they clearly expressed their attitude of uprooting the aristocratic rule of Chu, and there was no room for maneuver.

The princes and nobles knew very well that if they did not interfere, the Mo family occupied the large plains of Jianghuai, Jianghan, Si Shang and Jiangkou, and gave the Mo family three years to be able to look down on the princes and no longer need the art of erraticism.

However, the reactions of various countries were rapid, but they were extremely slow to move due to many problems.

The Battle of Zhucheng ended in an extremely funny way. Si Shang was suspected to have a lenient enemy, and the State of Chu after the coup was really vulnerable.

In dealing with the nobles of Chu, it can be regarded as completely angering the nobles of various countries.

Si Shang has been developing for 30 years, and every year a large amount of money is invested in education, and it has its own system of synonyms of equality and love; the theory of self-harmonious self-interest and social development; the basic inference of effective labor in creating wealth; the later generations have improved the current borrowed grammar...

All of this made a large number of Chu nobles have no meaning to the Mo family and the world.

Many people even believe that the only meaning of those people's existence is that they may intend to rebel and counterattack in the future, so that they can create a separatist force of Chu, which is worse than to execute them after trial.

The reason for killing is the original sin of "sealing land" derived from "labor creates wealth" and "sealing land" to possess the fruits of other people's labor without compensation.

The reason why the Mohist school has such confidence is that the prelude to this unification war of unification has delayed for too long and accumulated a large number of literate populations and bureaucratic systems.

If there were no such things, even if the State of Chu was conquered, it would probably have to be the same as Qin destroying Chu, so that a county policy such as "the rule of counties and counties was all derived from Liang" actually relied on the terrible situation of the nobles of the former country.

Now, the Mo family does not need to invite the nobles of Chu to be officials, and even the large number of reserve officials trained by the Si Shang Dynasty wish that these nobles would die. It was not enough to cheat, so could they ask them to take the cheat again?

I know my own level, and I have no ambition to help the world after I educate the nobles. In addition, this is different from the revolution in later generations. Later generations had a literate population equivalent to the old ruling class and had to make some compromises; but now it is actually similar to the concept of a nation-state re-determined after external aggression, so the attitude towards the old aristocrats can be imagined.

But considering that it was not good to kill too many at once, I finally made a decision.

Those under the ranks of the fiefdom should support themselves, deprive the nobles of their status to become equal people, deprive them of the land, means of production and wealth they had accumulated before, and all equality began from scratch.

Given that returning to the village may gradually monopolize the power of the village with the basis and traditional consciousness, it is not allowed to go home and all of them are sent to coal mines for labor reform.

It can be released in five years. Those who are willing to farm will be allocated a piece of land to farm with immigrants, and they will regain the status of a new equal Chinese; those who are unwilling will be able to obtain "freedom" and the freedom to starve to death: either go to a workshop to work, go to the mine to carry mines, or farmers who do not possess free labor will have to starve or beg for labor. Starving to death is also a kind of freedom, which cannot be deprived.

The true nobles and vassals above the doctor, together with their families, were sent to a deserted place overseas.

If their ancestors could overcome all obstacles and establish a country, then if they had the ability, they would continue to continue their country overseas and establish a new Chu; if they did not have the ability, they would starve to death and die of illness, it would only prove that they were too useless. It turned out that they could build a territory with some bronze ware. Taibo and his group could become the founding kings after running from the west to Wu. Now they have iron ware and muskets, and there is nothing they can do.

For this, he also told the world in particular that if a loyal man is willing to serve the King of Chu for the rest of his life, adhere to the etiquette of superiority and inferiority, and does not believe in equality, he can sign up to come to Si Shang as soon as possible. Each Mo family will send seeds, muskets, one iron tool, and send them away with the King of Chu for free.

In this way, the world was shocked. The nobles understood that the Mo family's fangs had opened, and their enemies were not only those Mo family but also those who were born inferior to them.

This war is no longer a war between princes for power and profit, but a decisive battle between new rules and old systems. Either the superiors and inferiors are orderly, or everyone is equal and contrary to each other, there is no possibility of another possibility.

It can be said that the Mo family's handling of the Chu nobles was a bit terrifying. Even the revenge of Wu and Yue, the interests of some nobles in Wu were not occupied, but they were just replaced by a master to be loyal. There was no such a large-scale purge of complete blood exchange, but this time the Mo family did not even obey the traditional virtues of destroying the country and the nobles were completely furious.

However, although the power of anger is powerful, it cannot resist the crushing of productivity, and it is even more difficult to match the various layouts planned before.

In order to conquer the war and the previous situation, the Mohist family bought a lot of time for the Mohist family.

A few years ago, they first angrily denounced that the Zhongshan Kingdom had not implemented more profound reforms after its restoration, which was an injustice. This was equivalent to sending a signal to Zhao Kingdom to attack Zhongshan without interfering.

Righteousness and injustice all depend on the mouth of the Mohist school.

The follow-up policy for the restoration of Zhongshan's country is impossible to be righteous. Zhongshan's country relies on the support of the Mohist family's weapons. Merchants seeking profit jointly invest and demand returns. These merchants are not doing charity, but are pursuing more interests.

The main aristocrats who restored the country did not become public servants of the people in order to seek the happiness of the people. They wanted to become truly ruled nobles.

The merchant has obtained a lot of franchise rights. If he can resist the desire for profit and not exploit it too much, he will be truly seeing the ghost.

The nobles have obtained a large number of fiefs. If they can give up their own interests and actively change is beneficial to the people, then these nobles will no longer be nobles.

Since the Mohist family began to open up the South China Sea, most of the merchants in various vassal states have turned their attention to foreign trade, opening workshops, or purchasing land and long-term workers in the South China Sea. The profits in Zhongshan were gradually monopolized by several big merchants in the north.

Those who have long-term visions understand that they will withdraw early because they know that the Mohist policies do not allow Zhongshan's business methods.

Now that the Mohist family finally angrily denounced the injustice of Zhongshan, many merchants who sold their shares early and switched to the Nanhai trade were relieved.

They chose the right path.

After the Battle of Yinyang, Zhao State finally determined the strategic direction of expansion to Zhongshan, because Zhao State knew that the Central Plains looked rich, but in fact it was a powder barrel, and if it was not careful, it would cause trouble.

After the Prince Zhi of Wei canceled his name as Zhongshan Jun, the Mo family almost benefited in the Battle of Yinyang, and Qin State rose. Under this circumstance, the relationship between the Three Jins eased.

The three families worked together to destroy the State of Jin, divided the last little land of the State of Jin, and demoted the Marquis of Jin to a commoner, but they still retained a certain fief for the Marquis of Jin to continue the sacrifices.

Then Qin began to harass Xihe every few days, and tacitly carried out a strategy of east-west connection with the Mo family. After the Mo family released blood to Wei, Qin would not wait for Wei to rest, but would continue to bleed based on the weakness of Wei.

The easing of the relationship between the Three Jins and the Mohist declaration that Zhongshan was unrighteous, gave Zhao the confidence to invade Zhongshan.

Zhao fought with Zhongshan.

At the same time, Qin State gathered 50,000 troops to cross the Wei River, and fought with Wei in Yin Jin. Wei Wushou was destroyed 30,000 soldiers, Qin State won a great victory, and Wei's most powerful field force in Xihe was destroyed.

Since then, the Wei State has no ability to attack strategically in Xihe, and even has no ability to defend effectively, and can only rely on the steepness of some mountains and rivers to defend.

The Wei Wushu was not a peasant soldier, but a professional soldier similar to the mansion soldiers. The 30,000 Wei Wushu were comparable to the feudal peasant soldier recruited by 100,000. The destruction of these 30,000 Wei Wushu meant that the field power of the Wei State was completely gone.

Qin took the opportunity to advance eastward, seized Mount Hua, Linhan Gu, Zhao, and Han were shocked and sent troops to support him. The Wei people guarded Hangu Pass to death, and used Quwo as a supporter to confront Qin and waited for reinforcements.

When Wei Hou B heard this big change, he couldn't afford to get sick. He called his two beloved sons in front of him and told Gongzi to ask Gongzi to be harmonious with Gongzi Yu, but in the end he couldn't bear to get rid of one.

South Korea sent 30,000 troops, and Zhao sent 20,000 troops to help Wei defend the Xihe River and confront Qin.

The number of troops sent by various countries is getting smaller and smaller, but the combat effectiveness is actually getting stronger and stronger. 30,000 standing troops can defeat 100,000 peasant soldiers. This is a truth that Wu Qi has summarized long ago. The cost of raising 30,000 standing troops may be several times that of 100,000 peasant soldiers.

After this battle, no matter the outcome, Wei State could not have put in enough power to interfere with Si Shang.

South Korea has been working hard in recent years, but it is not like Wei State, and it has some strength. However, it is not a powerful country that can interfere with the battle between Mo and Chu by relying on the power of one country.

Zhao State was fighting against Zhongshan, and because there was still Hetao land in the hands of the Mo family in the north, even if they sent troops, they could not send too much.

The Qin State, which is worried in the west, doesn’t have to worry too much because the Battle of Xihe is the way Qin State can take is to go from Longyou or cross the Qinling Mountains to attack Nanzheng. Once it cannot be captured for a long time, it will face great defeat. This is closely related to the smoothness of the Mo family’s battle in Chu State.

The main force of Chu State was quickly disintegrated, and after the acquisition of Jianghan, the potential crisis in Nanzheng was eliminated.

Wu Qi is also old, and what he is worried about is that Wu Qi manages the land of Longxi, and finds the right opportunity to take advantage of the war between Mo and Chu, and suddenly sends troops from Longxi to Hanzhong, and takes Nanzheng, thus preparing for the future capture of Bashu.

But Wu Qi returned to the capital of Qin due to illness. When Mo Chu started the war, he was not in Longxi, and the Mo family did not dare to be careless. Nan Zheng strengthened his defense and guarded the Qinling roads, and only sent some troops down the Han River.

Now that the situation in Jianghan has stabilized, Qin has missed the best time to send troops. At this time, if Qin wants to make any move, he must first solve the Xihe issue and solve the diplomatic relations with Wei, Han and Zhao.

The Yan Kingdom was nested in the land of the swallow, and was affected by the changes in the Central Plains. The entire living fossil that conformed to the Zhou Li had not yet experienced the reform of the country's rebirth, and his ability to interfere with Si Shang was minimal.
