After saying this, everyone's mind became active.

I thought to myself that the giant's order was a feint attack, and on the premise of achieving this big goal, I could make some small moves.

If you cannot win, it will not affect the overall situation. If you win, it is a great achievement, and you must report it to be praised.

Several backbones discussed and studied the information brought back by the scouts, and they all thought it was extremely feasible.

After the decision was made, he immediately sent someone to report to the higher authorities, and while drawing more than 40 backbone elites, most of whom were Mozhe, led by the deputy brigade coach, and sneaked into Shangcai.

The entire brigade will set off at night and wait until dawn if the city gate is successfully opened.

…………

At this time, Shangcai did not feel the danger of being approaching.

Compared to the past, the city was somewhat depressed. Many men were either arrested to go to the army or went to recruit and transport food and grass.

The terrain here is flat, with almost no rocks and rocks. Before the great disaster of the Yellow River breaking the entrance to the Huai River and the sea, it was like Si Shang, which was extremely suitable for the development of agriculture.

As long as the technology is right, the population will not be too large, and the Yellow River will keep coming, this is the best basic commercial grain base.

After Sumai, iron tools, ridges and new crops spread, this city near Chen and Song became more and more prosperous.

Shangcai planted a large amount of sesame seeds, and many people in the city had opened oil pressing workshops to trade with Sishang.

The wheat yield is very high, and it can also be regarded as a granary in the Huaixi region of Chu State.

After the rebellion of Prince Ding was quelled, this place became the most profound and earliest place in the Feidu District of Chu State.

A large number of local nobles were purged because they participated in the rebellion. The King of Chu started to be cruel and was much crueler to kill people than the Mo family, because the Mo family also paid attention to morality and law, and the royal power was not needed to target rebellion.

After slaughtering the nobles, the fields were granted to the people. The people did not have much sympathy for the killing of the nobles, and their joys and sorrows were always inconsistent.

When the land was given, it was the honeymoon period between the Chu State and the Mo family, the common enemy of the Three Jins, the Yue State, the existence of blocking the guns for the Chu State, and the large amount of loans and agricultural tools technology needed by the King of Chu, which made the Mo family's activities here extremely extensive.

In addition to the lack of power to collect taxes, conscription, and law enforcement, the public will directly choose to solve any problems with the Mo family.

With the reform, the King of Chu reorganized Chen Cai's army, which also made the Chen Cai area increasingly prosperous.

However, the morality of the Mohist school was destined to be more popular and wider the more popular the places, and the depth of the Mohist penetration was directly related to the degree of prosperity in various places of the vassal states.

Shangcai's prosperity and reform also created the popularity of Shangcai's Mo family's moral lectures.

Although the King of Chu began to notice the danger a few years later, the penetration was already deep and it was difficult to remove.

After the coup of Prince Liangfu, the Chen-Cai area underwent great changes.

Before the coup, the officials in Shangcai were appointed by officials, not genuine nobles, nor had fiefs, but received the salary of the King of Chu. These salary either originated from taxes or loans from the Mo family.

The spread of paper and simple words allowed more down-and-out class to learn knowledge and have the ability to rule, breaking the monopoly of the great nobles - under the wooden slips and Chu seals, the cost of literacy was extremely high, which made the nobles monopolize this knowledge.

The down-and-out scholars have basically fallen into the status of common people, without fiefs or large families. As officials, their power base comes from the King of Chu, not their own family.

Therefore, the scholars of the reformist sect promoted by the King of Chu were loyal to the King of Chu and to the official crown prince. Even if the crown prince Zang had no fertility, it would not prevent them from following the orders of the King of Chu.

As the saying goes, the scholars died for their confidants. The King of Chu gave them the opportunity to go from common people to officials or even county officials, so they would naturally choose to serve.

The basic force of the Chu reform faction was only the new army of the royal army directly under the jurisdiction of the King of Chu, and the self-cultivated peasants in the Chen Cai area after the Chen Cai Incident.

After the nobles settled the capital royal army, the Chen Cai area could certainly not escape the fate of cleaning.

One of the mistakes made by the King of Chu's reform was that he was worried that the Mohist infiltration into the army would make the chief officials of Chen Cai's army all royal nobles.

After all, the purpose of the King of Chu's reform was not to be a public servant of the people, but to use the power of common people to suppress the nobles and maintain the rule of his own direct family.

The King of Chu could not control the infiltration of the Mo family among the people, but the King of Chu was extremely uneasy when it penetrated the army, so he could only cultivate a group of new nobles and enter the army.

After the coup, these nobles in the army immediately followed their true allies - Prince Liangfu and the old nobles.

Because they want to resist is to cause trouble, and no one among them is qualified to inherit, so why should they resist?

However, some officials loyal to the King of Chu either committed suicide, launched private troops to resist and were executed, or demoted to common people.

Now that the land in Shangcai area has not been recovered, the nobles also understand that it is impossible to get the things they have been divided back. After all, the nobles of the old forces who are truly interested in here have been killed by the King of Chu.

The new county magistrate was no longer a resigned official, but a nobleman. The title of this place was basically equivalent to being half a lifetime hereditary.

Although the policy has not changed much, the lives of the people were greatly affected by the war between Chu and Mo.

It is difficult for industry and businessmen to do business, and the salt, cloth, iron and other substances in Chencai and other places are basically derived from Si Shang. At the same time, sesame oil and other workshops in Chencai area also make money from Si Shang.

Although the farmer does not do business in business, he not only has to pay more taxes when the salt price rises day by day.

To fight, you must have money, food, people, and some people.

Chen Cai Fushu, then Chen Cai naturally has to pay more money, more people, and more food.

Conscription, labor, transportation of grain, building cities... In just a few months, people's hearts are full of resentment.

The most resentful group of people found the county party committee of the Mo family who lurked down in Shangcai and moved underground to move, and the remaining people had to accept it after being resentful.

The propaganda of the Mo family was simply banned. There were rumors all day long in the market that when he went to Yingdu, the King of Chu talked with him in a secret conversation, saying that it would be a deed of harm to the people in the future, so he asked the Mo family to eliminate the harm.

This kind of rumor is a sharp lethality not because the people are so loyal to the King of Chu, but because the people have increasingly recognized the theory of harming the people and benefiting the people.

The richer the place, the easier it is to breed the soil for Mohist activities, and the morality of the Mohist school can be explained more clearly.

On the contrary, when it is black, people have never seen the light, so there is no need to resist; and what we look forward to the light most is not a black night, but when the east is white, you can vaguely see the light.

Rumors and nursery rhymes are circulating every day.

People are panic and uneasy.

A while ago, someone chose to escape to become a civil servant. After being caught, he was punished by ink, which means tattooing on his face, which is one of the five punishments.

It not only punishes prisoners to warn others, but also does not affect military and civilians.

However, in the city, the arrested man shouted loudly: "My surname is not Mi. I am from Jiuzhou and Xia. The princes have a country and the doctor has a family. What does the rise and fall of Chu have to do with me?"

The nobles were shocked and hated the Mo family even more, thinking that the morality and the spread of the Mo family were too confusing, and even the common man could say such a rude word.

So in order to serve as a warning, Mo Zheng changed to Ji Zheng and cut off his nose.

As a result, there were rumors the next day that this was the case that the nobles had unknown laws and laws, and that whatever punishment was said was the punishment. There was no specific law as a standard, and it was better for the Mohist law.

The nobles immediately sent someone to refute the rumors and explained: If the law is too clear, then the bad commoners will take advantage of the loopholes in the law and do illegal things. The reason why there is no need to write a document is to protect the common people. The common people should believe in the real gentleman so that those who commit crimes cannot find loopholes.

At that time, everyone in the city laughed, and thought to myself that these truths had been debated in the market more than a hundred times seven or eight years ago. You people still talked about nonsense that they could not win seven or eight years ago. It was really ridiculous.

Although the people were resentful, the order of rule was still there, and no one shouted.

Because people who really want to cheer up and organize, and have prestige have basically become local mourners or peripheral members, obeying the orders of superiors and lurking.

After all, Shangcai has two governments.

One is clear, responsible for taxation, taxation, labor service, and punishment.

The other is secret, responsible for associations, lecture notes, education, medical care, industry and commerce. Although medical care is really simple, at most it is just some local methods, it is better than nothing.

This should have been two sides of the government, but it was split by the Mohist family in the vassal states.

Lecture notes, medical care, industry and commerce, and technology are all low-key karmas, and they were originally unattended by the nobles, and the real ruling class was the nobles of blood.

Now this split situation is more obvious, which has led to temporary stability in Shangcai: the open government is levied taxes and taxes, and the secret government is still motionless, so naturally there is no third party power to stand up and incite and organize.

Because of communication methods, the Mo people in the city did not know the plan of the Mo family's sneak attack this time. The order they received at the beginning of the war in Chu Mo was to hide and wait for the opportunity.

So even the Mo people in the city did not know that a Mo family army had lurked within thirty miles of the city.

It was night and the moon was dawn.

More than forty elites have lurked under the city.

The city wall in Shangcai is not high, only six or seven meters, and it is an old rammed earth wall.

The small shovels and ropes in the hands of these elite soldiers who attacked the enemy, with short swords and flint guns, were all elite forces in the brigade, skilled and brave.

In the middle of the night, the deputy brigade coach took the lead and quietly came to the city wall and used a small shovel to secretly cut out a small hole on the city wall.

He is an officer and the representative of the Mozhe in this squad's dying organization. He must take the lead in this kind of thing.

The city wall, which is six or seven meters high, has a certain slope. After digging a few small holes, you can climb it.

After climbing up the city wall, several Chu soldiers who were guarding the city as usual were already asleep, because the war seemed to be far away from Shangcai and did not have much vigilance.

The four people who went up first stabbed two Chu soldiers to death and put down the rope. The rest of them also climbed up along the rope.

These people were curled up on the city wall until they saw a few flashes coming from outside, and knew that the main force had arrived outside the city.

The signal that transmits messages is a simple signal light made of mirrors, bronzes and whale oil lamps.

At this time, there is still some time before dawn. They have to wait until dawn before taking action, because there are not many established defenders in the city, so there is no need to take advantage of the night to cause chaos, and sneak attacks at night are indeed inconvenient.

When it was almost dawn, the more than forty people had already divided into several groups and touched the city gate.

There were only a few soldiers guarding the gate, and they were all trapped, so they forced themselves to wait for dawn.
