Chapter 296 Mozi's First Disciple(1/2)

"I was once a disciple of Confucianism and learned from Zixia. Later, I turned to Mozi and devoted myself to Moji."

Qin Huali had a great time with Zhang Hua, Gongsun Long and Wang Shouren, and had a great chat.

"Your previous teacher was Zixia of Confucianism. So, can you know Wu Qi?"

Zhang Hua thought that Wu Qi had studied at Zixia. According to later generations, Qin Huali and Wu Qi were still classmates.

It was just that the birds and waxed, and Wu Qi eventually gave up Confucianism, one abandoned Confucianism and Mohism, and the other abandoned Confucianism and military affairs.

Qin Huali sighed, "Wu Qi, I naturally know this person. Wu Qi is a man who uses troops like a mountain, but he kills his wife and seeks generals and pursues fame and fortune, and is easy to offend people."

"Then do you know where Wu Qi is?"

Zhang Hua heard that Qin Huali knew Wu Qi, and if Qin Huali knew where Wu Qi was, it would be the best.

"I don't know."

Qin Huali gave up Zhang Hua's idea.

Even he didn't know where Wu Qi was.

Wu Qi traveled to Changbai Mountain in Liaodong or the Great Gobi Desert in the Western Regions and Ailao Mountain in Yunnan, so it might be possible.

"Where is that teacher Mo Zi?"

"I don't know."

“…”

Qin Huali didn't even know the whereabouts of the two people Zhang Huali wanted to know the most.

Zhang Hua did not blame Qin Huali for fighting. The princes in various places were in chaos and some roads were blocked. Even Zhang Huali had many bandits and defeated soldiers in his territory. Qin Huali, a group of Mohist disciples, dared not run around and chose to open mountains and establish a sect in Chang'an City.

It is unavoidable to revive the glory of the Mohist disciples, including Qin Huali, and other Mohist disciples.

"Where have both gentlemen been there in the past few years?"

While Zhang Hua was chatting, he asked about Qin Huali and Gongsun Long’s experience.

Gongsun Long replied: "I traveled to the Western Rong land, with the local soldiers and horses chaotic, and the princes attacked each other and wars continued. I was not interested in my theory. Instead, the Legalists and the straitors were rampant."

Qin Huali sighed: "If people in the world can love each other and not attack, why would there be constant wars in various places, and white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away."

Gongsun Long nodded and praised: "I rarely agree with the Mo family's views, but I agree with this. Over the years, there have been many bones everywhere and people are living in poverty. I have seen many cities with my own eyes, which have been slaughtered, and nine out of ten families are empty."

Love and not attack?

Zhang Hua did not use the lobbying of the male and female, and also knew that the Mohist thought was "either love but not attack".

The Mohist school and Confucianism are two major expositions in the Warring States Period. Among them, the Mohist school’s proposition is very romantic, that is, the famous “either love and not attack”.

The concept proposed by Mozi was very advanced and attracted many people to join the Mo family at that time, but this concept simply did not work in the chaotic times of the Warring States Period.

The princes were busy attacking and expanding each other, and they could not help but love each other, and wished they could live to the death.

Therefore, as soon as Mozi died, the Mo family fell apart immediately and its influence declined, and it could not be compared with Confucianism.

The current situation is similar to that during the Warring States Period. What the Mohist school is valuable to the various princes is their creation of weapons and the art of defending the city.

Mo Zi’s good at guarding and Mo’s conservatism, which shows the Mo family’s ability to defend the city.

The Mohist family at that time could help the princes conduct just defensive battles and influence the victory or defeat among countries. It is precisely because of this that the Mohist family had a great influence at that time.

"It is good to love and not attack. This ideal is good, but it is not suitable for the times. Perhaps one day, this idea will be realized."

Zhang Hua recognized the Mohist philosophy of unity and non-aggressiveness, but it does not mean that Zhang Hua believes that under such conditions, the Mohist ambitions can be realized.

The Confucian Datong society and the Mohist love and non-aggression are both advanced ideas.

"well."

Birds sigh.

He also realized that the annexation of the princes must reach the end of the unification without stopping.

After the Qin Dynasty, the idea of ​​great unification had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the princes would attack each other until the world was unified, otherwise they would be unable to sleep or eat.

There are many princes, and each prince is worried that other princes will suddenly attack their territory, so they form a chain of suspicion, so all opponents must be eliminated.

"I want to conquer all directions and use martial arts to stop swords, and I need a group of craftsmen who are good at defending the city, guarding the two cities of Chencang and Yubi, and to defend Guanzhong. I also need a group of craftsmen to follow the army to fight, conquer cities and territory, conquer all directions, and end the troubled times as soon as possible. I wonder if the sir is willing to help?"

Zhang Hua's picture was revealed and expressed his intention to recruit the Mohist school.

The Mohist school's mechanisms can be invincible whether they attack or defend the city.

It’s just that the Mohist school advocates both loving and not attacking, and is not willing to attack, but focuses on defense, which gives people the impression that they are good at defending the city.

In fact, the defending party needs to know what kind of siege method the other party will use. Even if it is imitation, its offensive ability will definitely not be much worse.

Zhang Hua needs the help of Mo family disciples to strengthen the defense of the two fortresses, Yubi City and Chencang City.

Yubi City needs to block the troops from Li Keyong, and Chen Cangcheng needs to block the troops from Liu Bang, Hanzhong. In addition, Chen Cangcheng has to bear the pressure from Longyou and is not very peaceful.

The Mohist school's ability to defend the city and build armies are all required by Zhang Hua.

Bird slippery is hesitant.

Zhang Hua was busy expanding everywhere and often took the initiative to provoke trouble, which obviously did not conform to the Mohist philosophy of both loving and not attacking.

Zhang Hua also asked Qin Huali to help him annex other princes.

"The Mohist school was famous and once as famous as Confucianism, but why did it decline in later generations? It was because Confucianism occupied the court and occupied the right to speak. As one of the two great schools, the Mohist school had to try to become an official in order to compete with Confucianism."

"What's more, when Mohist scholars study various skills, they must have enough funds and leisure, otherwise they will live for food and clothing all their lives, so how can they study skills?"

"I asked the Mo family to become an official not for myself, but for the people of the world. Only by unifying the world can the people of all places live and work in peace and contentment, without disputes, and achieve both love."

Zhang Hua intends to lobby for the officials of Qi Huali, to move them with emotion, to understand them with reason, and to state three reasons why Mohist disciples cannot become officials.

One is to fight against Confucianism, which is full of Confucian scholars.

The second is to gain social status and have the time to study the theories and skills of the Mohist scholars.

The third is for the people of the world.

Zhang Hua's words were reasonable, and even the birds were a little moved.

Gongsun Long, a famous artist, sat on one side and felt ashamed of what Zhang Hua said.

Who is the famous master?

If Zhang Hua hadn't been the lord here, Gongsun Long would even want to become a disciple of Zhang Hua and improve his debate ability.

"What the king said is reasonable. In order to continue the Mohist family and the people of the world, he had to become an official."

Qin Huali also felt regretful when he knew the decline of the Mohist school in later generations and believed that something must have happened to something.

After Zhang Hua's analysis, he really felt that what Zhang Hua said had some truth.

Only by improving social status and gaining the support of the majority can a school enhance its influence.

What's more, the Mohist school is a sect that does not have a certain social status and cannot be idle to conduct research.

Western aristocrats were idle and had no money, so they studied natural philosophy, mathematics, theology and so on all day long.

"Since the sir has agreed, I will provide convenience for the Mohist family to recruit disciples. But every year, the Mohist family also provides a group of disciples to join the army."

Zhang Hua and Qin Huali reached an agreement.

Zhang Hua represented the government to enhance the status of the Mo family and even helped the Mo family recruit disciples. At the same time, the talents trained by the Mo family needed to serve the country and fight with the army.

Zhang Hua also took a little care of Gongsun Long, rewarded Gongsun Long with some gold and silver, and allowed Gongsun Long's famous scholars to recruit disciples in Chang'an City, establish schools, study logic, and retain the spark of famous scholars so as not to let the famous scholars disappear.

"I hope that when I meet a teacher, the teacher will not blame me for my decision. After all, the Mohist school also needs to develop. If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to understand."

Before leaving, Qin Huali talked to herself.

He wanted to bring some of the Mo family disciples to help Zhang Hua carry out a war of unity and even conquering other kingdoms, which was somewhat contrary to Mozi's teachings.

After Gongsun Long and Qin Huali left, Zhang Hua checked the hero attributes of these two celebrities who had become officials.

【Hero】: Gongsun Long

[Article]: A representative of the famous Li Jianbai School of the Warring States Period, who is good at speaking and eloquent.

Gongsun Long's ability is pretty good, and he is also one of the representative figures of the various schools of thought.

It’s just that Gongsun Long tends to be possessed and falls into a dilemma of sophistry.

Zhang Hua checked the panel of Qin Huali again. This is the talent Zhang Hua really wants to recruit this time.

【Hero】: Bird Sliding

[Commander]: 70 [Military power]: 65 [Intellect]: 90 [Politics]: 70
