Chapter 101 Sunflower First Blooms Golden Crow's Habitat ([-])
When Luo Xiaoli was "drunk" talking nonsense.

Outside the city of Peiyi, where the Mohists gathered, the Mohist who came from all over the world were receiving leather armor, hand crossbows, and short swords.

After receiving it, he dressed neatly, just like when he was defending the city.

Shi also wore a leather armor that didn't fit well, received a hand crossbow, and sat in the second row on his knees.

Mozi was in front of the Mozhe, and outside the village where the Mozhe gathered, there was already a Mozhe leading a dog to guard.

"With the rumors, those witches must be shocked. Now that the trust of Wuzhu's priests is with us, these witches have no choice but to turn to the local big clan for help. They may do two things."

"One, escape. Two, fight to the death, trying to kill us Mohist."

"The reputation of the Mohists is only spread in big cities and giant towns. People here may not know how capable we are."

"If they fight to the death, it's up to us to kill them all tonight. When the villagers get together on August 54th, they will naturally promote the new policy. Hundreds of Mohists, in a small town, don't need the original small officials Bian [-] and Meng Sheng sent news from Chu that Chu people were extremely angry at Song Gong’s betrayal of Chu, thinking that those carnivores in Shangqiu were unable to govern this place, and they were all thinking about how to fight for power and profit, and borrow the power of other countries. The Three Jins entered the Great Wall of Qi, and the division of the Jins is a foregone conclusion. The carnivores of the Song Dynasty are all fighting for pro-Jin and pro-Chu. No one wants to strengthen the country and enrich the people, so let us come!"

"If they escape, it will prove that those big clans are afraid to touch us for the time being. Let's start with Wu Zhu. Block the road, and arrest anyone who escapes. When the villagers gather, let them take responsibility for collecting money. At this time It's not like half a year ago, when we arrested people, the villagers would definitely support them, and at that time, we will cut off the foundation of these witches, and use the punishment of thunder to shock people's hearts, so that there will be no more adulterous rituals in Peidi."

"For tonight's matter, Shi Wu will divide into groups and go to the secretary to receive the task of paperwork."

After Mo Zi gave the order, he assigned various situations and specific tasks. If he could kill someone this time, it would be in accordance with the will of the people.Just like torture is used when defending the city, it is to defend the city and reduce losses.

All the Mozhe said in unison, the sunset light, the red and black leather armor and the shining sword light are so dazzling, this is the first time I saw Mozhe really ready to kill.

Last time in Shangqiu Village, although Mozi also acted collectively, no matter Mozi or Qin Huali, they probably didn't take a small nobleman seriously.

But this is not Shangqiu, and the Mohist's reputation for killing people is not big enough, so he had to borrow the heads of these witches to make preparations for the sacrificial ceremony to seize control of the villages outside Peiyi in one fell swoop.

Shi Ye took the order to get up, and according to Mozi's request, he wrote down the things to be done in advance.

If it is the other party's desperate fight to attack, the Mo Zhe is not afraid, the small Peiyi can gather more than a thousand people at most, and the Mo Zhe has more than 300 soldiers who can be regarded as elite soldiers in any country.

All that needs to be prepared is that in case those Wu Zhu escape, they must all be captured.One is that the money that Wu Zhu has accumulated over the years can just be returned to the villagers; the other is that it can be captured so that the villagers can know how shameless they are for accumulating money.

As a newcomer half a year ago, easy hands-on will lead to mistrust.

But Mozi has already heard about the feedback from various villages and communities. For the Mohist forces, they don't need the support of these people.

What's more, the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has been determined. The king of Chu is discussing with the county princes and clans about attacking the Song Dynasty. There has also been news from Shangqiu, and the dignitaries of the entire Song Kingdom are busy standing in line.The nursery rhyme made by someone is fermenting and intensifying, and a coup is about to revolve around being close to Chu or Jin.

Shi also said that this is not an opportunity to completely tear his face, and it is best to wait until the Chu people officially send troops.

Mozi also knew.

Therefore, the Mohists will not take the initiative to do it. If Wu Zhu escapes, it proves that the local clans have given up on Wu Zhu. This is called cutting off wrists and fingers, taking advantage of harm; , that can not wait to die.

If you don't do it before the villagers get together, Mozi believes that they will have no chance to do it.

This is also helpless.If it was in a big city like Shangqiu and Taoyi, such a small nobleman would not dare to fight Mozhe; but the people here don't seem to know that Mozhe also kills people, and they are afraid that if they get murderous, the so-called Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but it would be easier to be a cow in a herd that has been eaten by tigers many times.

After the tasks were assigned, hundreds of Mohists knelt on the ground silently, without saying a word, waiting for the news from Peiyi City.

…………

Luo Xiaoli's wild words quickly spread to the Wuzhu believers who lived in Peiyi.

Wu Zhu's leader had completely collapsed at this time. He knew that the situation was over after seeing the raging public opinion that day, so he hoped to believe that Mo Zhe just wanted to break the human sacrifice.

People are always willing to believe what they want to believe.

But who would have thought that these Mohists wanted to drive them all to death.

Looking at the more than 30 wooden boxes parked in the room that were exchanged for money from the Mozhe with a smile, and thinking about the group of seven singing and dancing around these wooden boxes, his face turned pale.

After these 30 people came back, they indeed vomited food that was fluorescent and as shiny as a marquis bead.

That night, some people were extremely thirsty, some people were writhing with abdominal pain, and some people vomited blood, but Mo Zhe only said that it was a fire burning their souls, and it was not a serious problem.

But in three days, they were all "sleepwalking in the realm of the gods", so Mo Zhe sent a few wooden boxes, helped to put them in, and charged a lot of money.

When it stinks a little, Mo Zhe sent someone to say it's normal.

How can the world easily associate with ghosts and gods?Ghosts and gods eat the wind and drink the dew, but the world eats the five grains. These smells are to get rid of the dirt in the body, and it will be as pure as a baby in a short time...

These weird "cultivation" theories are the supreme way at this time. Where have you heard of these witches?Suddenly I felt tall, and then I thought it was quite reasonable, but it was hard to refute.

So a group of seven people, wearing red clothes, sang and danced around these wooden boxes, just to wait until the time when the golden crow was inhabited, and the moji would use witchcraft to recall these people. become a fire".

But now, listening to the words of the drunk ink man, these ink men clearly intend to kill them all.

The last time I didn't do anything, I was afraid that the people would not accept it. This time, the people's hearts have been gathered, so there is no need to worry!

A few witches hurriedly opened the wooden box, and the disgusting stench of corpses rushed in. The people inside had already rotted away, so there was no trace of immortality?

The leading Wu Zhu sat down on the ground, while Wu Zhu next to him knelt down and retched, the witch and the man cried into a ball, not knowing what to do.

"Let's fight to the death with those Mohists! It's already like this. Once the people gather together, they will explain in public that the public opinion is raging. How can we survive? These Mohist say they want to kill us, then they will really kill us! We have to thank you for killing with a smile on your face this time, and I am afraid this time you will kill even more ruthlessly!"

"Yes! Even the youngest Mohist never relents when he kills people. When he feeds the teacher poison, he still smiles! Such a person can't let us go!"

The leading Wu Zhu said angrily: "Fight! How can we fight now? Now that Mohist made a slip of the tongue after drinking, and gave us some chances to survive."

"In the matter of collecting money and distributing money, those big clans, subordinate officials, and clan elders all participated. What if they don't want to stand up now? If the Mozhe wants to deal with us, we will pull them down. They think the Mozhe is just dealing with us? Dreaming !"

He is a person who has personally experienced and been deceived, so he has no trust in the Mohists, and he also feels that these Mohist behaviors are weird, and he will never only do things to people like himself.

"Go to a few people! Tell those people about this matter and let them find a way. If they really don't want to fight against Mo Zhe, we have to run away!"

The subordinates and believers cried: "Where are we going to escape? Here we have land, servants, respect, and family property here. We escaped, and what do we live on?"

The leader said angrily: "If you don't run away, and those people don't show up, they will die! Do you want to lie in it too? You have seen the ferocity of Mo Zhe before, but no one believed that they would kill people before, but they If you kill more than [-] people, have you ever been lenient?"

He cursed a few times repeatedly, and sent people to the homes of the big clans, officials, and old folks who cooperated with them to inquire about countermeasures.

After they ran out, some handicraftsmen or inkmen who wandered around the streets immediately followed and remembered the various families they contacted.

The footprints of these people are like silk threads, weaving into a cobweb that is not usually seen clearly, leading to the situation in Peiyi that is not usually seen carefully.

Soon, other people walked out of the courtyard where these witches came and went, gradually gathered together, and began to discuss countermeasures.

These people who made money together in the sacrificial activities were quite puzzled by Mohist's behavior.

Most of them were originally the clans of some small countries, and they migrated here with their clansmen after the country was destroyed.As the clan gradually disintegrated, they also used the remnants of the previous clan society to plunder many private lands for themselves.

They are either recognized or entrusted small nobles, or the family leaders of a certain local ethnic group, and they love and hold this land deeply.

From their point of view, no matter whose fief is here, it is not easy to affect the interests of people like themselves. Someone must help them manage, collect taxes, and recruit them. It is impossible for the big nobles to be here in person and not participate in political activities.

These families are the epitome of clan slavery moving towards feudal slavery.

They migrated here with their clansmen, and according to the customs of the clan era, they allocated land and jointly cultivated part of the clan's public land and sacrificial land.

These people were not Yin merchants. They were not affected by the land granting system of the Song State at first, and it was impossible for the Song State to govern here.

However, the customary rural communal land system, as a common system in the clan era, also exists here.In the beginning, the fields may be exchanged with each other every few years, and people in the clan habitually collectively cultivate the clan's common land and the land for sacrifices.

With the increase in population, the development of productivity, the emergence of the private mu tax, and a large number of fugitives coming here, the clan elders who had the right to divide the land began to plunder the clan's public land and make it their own private land.

Gradually began to lease land, borrow money, buy and sell, and so on. The concept of private ownership was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the small family slavery and clan groups gradually disintegrated.

They are very similar to a part of the county government in Chu State, with local autonomy, a nest of snakes and rats, nominal ownership, and control of grassroots power.

It's just that it's not as good as some county officials and county monarchs in Chu State who have the power to start war, govern, and cease war, and the local people's strength is not enough.

Later generations here is the Western Chu, as an important foundation of the later period of the Chu State, it was also the situation after the Song people migrated to avoid the three Jins and cleaned it once, and the Chu people cleaned it again after moving their capital.

The large numbers of Song and Chu people who migrated, the coercion of officials backed by the state's violent machinery after the reform, the migration of the ruling center, etc., completely changed the situation in these places.

But now, the elders of these old times are full of confidence.Even if the father-in-law of Song came, he still needed to ask them to understand Peiyi, and he also had to rely on them to collect taxes from Peiyi to achieve nominal jurisdiction over Peiyi.

If the Song State could govern the villages, it would not be the weak Song Dynasty it is today; on the other hand, if the Song State could effectively govern and govern here, there would not be such a group.

Nominally, they were low-ranking nobles of the Song State, and had legal partial fiefdoms and jurisdiction over the peasants on the fiefdoms, which the Duke of Song exchanged for their feudal military obligations.

At the same time, it also controls the grassroots jurisdiction outside its own fiefdom, serving as a bridge between Song Gong and local farmers, completing local tax payment and military recruitment when necessary.

Even if the Mohists had the nominal right to tax, they had no right to touch the rights and interests in their small fief. Once touched, it would be a war with the enfeoffed nobles of the entire Song Kingdom.

The self-confidence of these old age elders is not unfounded.If you provoke them, who will manage this place?Centralized Appointment of Officials?Not to mention the weak Song Dynasty at this time, how many countries in the world have achieved it at this time?Anyone who can do it will become a powerful country.
