Chapter 206: Aftermath and the general situation

With external military considerations, once the counterattack on the Eastern Front was victorious, Qi would actually have no resistance. The Mo family had already made the worst plan, that is, to sacrifice Nan Zheng and Gao Liuyunzhong in exchange for defending Jianghan and the expansion of the eastern part.

Although the military power of Qi is still acceptable, it is all one-time troops. In one battle, the main force can be eliminated, and the rest can only be summoned to recruit peasant soldiers, and the combat effectiveness can be ignored.

Moreover, the most pro-Mexico-Qi region in the southwest of Qi may even directly revolt and refuse the conscript of the Duke of Qi.

If the Eastern Front wins, there are actually many directions to choose first, each with its advantages.

The remaining cities of Chu State can directly stabilize the front line of Huaibei Central Plains, and can directly reach Zheng, and the people there are also good foundations.

After the failure of the Eastern Front, the State of Wei may not be able to organize any force. In addition, the intelligence said that Wei Dou was seriously ill and would probably die, but it was actually the best to fight.

However, the meaning of the situation is very clear. Once the Eastern Front wins, regardless of the others, you will first fight against Qi.

Because after attacking Qi, the remaining cities of Chu could be slowly swallowed up, almost most of the entire North China Plain was in the hands of the Mo family.

If Gao Liuyunzhong and Nan Zheng are really lost at that time, don’t worry.

The Mohist family has most of the North China Plain east of the Taihang Mountains, including northern Jiangsu, Jianghuai Plain, Wuyue Plain, Jianghan Plain, and almost the most important places in Jiuzhou. As long as the Mohist family does not make great mistakes in the subsequent wars, they will basically be pushed all the way.

Furthermore, I am planning for the future.

With the advent of the firearms and the Iron Age, and with the current technical level of Sishang, everything will be different for a hundred years at most.

Even if it doesn’t take a hundred years, now, the foreign enemies that need to worry about nomads no longer need to consider the Northeast region and Hetao.

As long as the land suitable for cultivation is held in your hands, no one can be given to the nomads and fishermen to transform into a nomad mix, they have no chance of winning under iron and firearms.

It may even be enough to sweep the grasslands and establish colonial rule.

The Silk Road communicates with the east and west. Once the level of shipbuilding and astronomy navigation is improved, the Silk Road on the road will inevitably go deserted before the railway appears. The center of gravity of Zhuxia should be to the southeast, control the northeast, stabilize Yongzhou, and not leave the Western Regions for the time being.

After enough wealth and technological progress, the threat to the west can be easily solved at the smallest cost. The longer the time, the greater the technological gap between the western desert grasslands and here.

If the battle will be particularly difficult in the future, then what the Mohist family has to do is to take steady steps, go north along the coast and then deal with Yan State, bypass the Taihang Mountains, form a three-sided surround of the Three Jins, crushing them bit by bit, and at the same time use the east as the center of rule to improve a new "national" consciousness.

Of course, this particularly difficult situation is a very extreme consideration. Once Qi State was destroyed, Wei and Han could not last long.

In addition to this rational consideration, the senior leaders of the Mohist school are not purely rational machinery after all, and they also have their own emotional considerations.

Qi State became like this. In the era when the mainstream of the world was "giving fields to the people, and breaking fields and fields", Qi State actually moved in the opposite direction and started to strengthen personal constraints and fiefdom rule. This was not accidental, but it had a great relationship with the development of Sishang industry and commerce.

The living standards of Si Shang are far better than elsewhere. The senior Mohist leaders know in their hearts that they are sucking blood around them.

The people in the eastern part of Qi were trapped on the land and worked for the fief's owners for free. The root cause was that there was a great demand for food and raw materials in Si Shang. After the industry and commerce of Qi was squeezed out by Si Shang, they needed to buy a large amount of handicraft products.

This has formed an extremely deformed economic system.

The Mohist school has always done the method of "real profits belong to oneself and bad blame others". Since we really want to return to the world and completely give up the idea of ​​not attacking and establishing a country, and to establish Jiuzhou as a country, the sufferings of these farmers in Qi State will always be solved.

Compared to other places, they have lived too hard, which is due to the sentiment of "ambition for the whole world".

It is even more an attitude, an attitude that means that Si Shang will not attack and establish a country but will take the initiative to treat Jiuzhou equally.

The matter of counterattacking first to attack Qi was decided like this.

At the subsequent meeting, we should go against the opposition and lead our troops to open up the transportation line between Shangcai, Xianghe and Fuli.

One is to meet the Chu army, and the other is to be familiar with the front-line combat activities and prepare for the subsequent decisive battle.

After the vote was passed at the meeting, Shi smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I think we should also arrange our funerals in case of unexpected events. It is not the funerals in the next ten or twenty years, but the funerals in the next hundred years. After a hundred years, the youngest among you and me is afraid that they don't know what will happen. Within a hundred years, there may be someone who can know who will take charge of the general direction of Jiuzhou in a hundred years."

Everyone present was a person who valued righteousness and neglected life in troubled times. The Mo family did not avoid life and death, and some things must be decided in advance.

In the next three days, the senior executives of the Mo family held a three-day meeting.

In addition to some future arrangements, the most important things are two things.

First, on the basis of transferring part of the wealth, Song Gong announced his abdication and merged with the Mo family. As a county, the Mo family had the right to garrison and collect national taxes. The remaining policies that continued the previous policies allowed various counties and counties and other schools to rule.

This is not difficult. Military power has long been unified in the hands of the Mo family. In fact, it is just a formality, concession with each other, and unify it while retaining the special status of those schools. Anyway, the feudal system of the Song State has basically disappeared. It is still the way to go around in the future. There is no need to carry out a major change to clear away the old ideas and systems like Chu.

The second is the Han Dynasty with the brilliant starry and Han Dynasty and the Milky Way in the sky after the Nine Provinces are unified in the future.

This is the same Han Dynasty as the Han Dynasty in later generations, and its meaning is similar, but it is closer to the origin.

Later Han was enfeoffed by the Han River, and the reason why the Han River was called Han River was because its trend was the same as the Milky Way Star Han in the sky, so the essence of Han remains unchanged and is still the Milky Way in the sky.

The Mohist school talked about the heavenly aspirations and had a telescope, so they naturally had to look up at the sky. Shi Zeng smiled and said that Tianzhi would one day be the sea of ​​stars and the sea was too close, so the name of such a Han was named, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

…………

More than ten days later, the State of Song and Sanglin Society.

After only less than three years of trust, Song Gong was the last sacrifice in the name of Song Gong in Sanglin Society.

This time, the sacrifice did not mention mysterious things such as destiny, but used the heavenly will and the heavenly way.

The general idea is that the ancestor of the Song Dynasty, Shang Tang, destroyed Xia in the past, not because he had personal grudges with Xia, but because Xia Jie harmed the people and could not make the world profit.

Now the Mo family inherited Dayu's will and wanted to end the troubled times, make the world stable, and everyone loves blind dates. This is exactly the wish of his ancestor Shang Tang.

Shang Tang's descendants were incompetent, unable to know the will of heaven, and did not have the ability to make the people of the world enjoy peace.

Now that the people's wisdom has been opened, the people can understand how to benefit themselves and no longer need a hereditary ruler. Therefore, the descendants of Shang Tang must give up their power. This is the wish of the truly inherited ancestor Shang Tang, and the ancestors will definitely protect their descendants.

After Shang Tang destroyed the Xia Dynasty, agricultural tools were nothing but stones, and weapons were nothing but bronzes, so Shang Tang's policy was in line with the world at that time. The Mohist school affirmed Shang Tang's policy at that time.

But the problem is that the Mohist school has a special evaluation, called it "in".

Even if it was Yao and Shun's policy at that time was good governance, it could no longer be considered good governance because it was no longer in line with the current situation. It cannot be said that Yao and Shun's policy at that time was not beneficial to the world.

The same is true for Shang Tang.

So affirming the past does not mean affirming the present nor does it mean separating the past.

Therefore, Duke Song said that as today is no longer what he was, the descendants of the Shang Dynasty could not continue to rule and were willing to return to the people to pay tribute to the ancestors.

After the sacrifice, Duke Song announced his abdication and declared that all hereditary rights would be invalidated, and that descendants would be equal people in their future generations.

After he finished reading the script, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The world is already like this. Even though it is as powerful as Chu, it still has the same ending, let alone the Song State?

The world is in a vast and unstoppable situation. Mr. Song feels that abdication is the best choice.

His father chose him to succeed the throne because he was mediocre and had no ambitions, so after the Song State Incident that he threw his ambitious younger brother to Si Shang as a proton to "study".

The military power of the entire Song State was in the hands of the "instructors" sent by the Mo family. The Song State used coins issued by Si Shang, bought goods from Si Shang, spoke language that was almost universal to Si Shang, and used the morality of Si Shang, which was indeed the best ending.

Otherwise, what can it do? The Song Yishi of a division was stationed in Shangqiu, and the Song Dukes could not control them from top to bottom. What's the use even if they object?

In addition to the various schools of thought in the Song State, Song Gong had actually become a mascot.

After he succeeded to the throne as Duke of Song, he was worried all day long that the Mohist family would "clean all the worms" and deprive everything of him. Once that happens, he actually has no power to resist.

Fortunately, after the transformation of the Mohist family, the economic foundation of the Song Dukes had been completely changed.

First, Duke Song distributed the land to the people to cultivate, recognized the people's right to use the land of Duke Song's tribe, and most of them had been forced to redeem the land of the people and were privately owned.

The Gong tribe drove away some people from the land outside Shangqiu City, took back the right to use, and asked them to go elsewhere to reclaim it. The Mo family paid the money and the concentrated land, Gong Song hired special people to manage it.

In addition, there are some shares in the Si Shang industry such as trade and workshops, which are also the livelihood of Song Gong in the future.

The changes in the economic foundation have made the Mohist school not bother with Mr. Song. You have already transformed actively or passively and have no selfless grudges between you and me, so you can let you go. This is not the same as the monarch and ministers of the Chu State.

As for the enquiry of the Grand Principal of the Jung-Yuan, that's a big deal. Song Gong still has value to use now. Is it useful to enquiry of the Grand Principal of the Jung-Yuan? Because the enquiry of the Grand Principal of the Jung-Yuan can be elected. After the election, the Senator decided that the Song State would be incorporated into the Mo family's future part of the Kyushu world. The Song State needed to go to the Sanglin Society to worship, but there was no need for the old Sentry of the Jung-Yuan.

There is not much to be solved in the Song State. Although the situations in different places are different, they have finally crushed the old ruling class after that war and changed the production relations. In the end, they will always end up with the same goal.
