Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 9
"Of course, he is the son of the Qin State. Isn't it to promote peace in the world by training a good disciple to help the Qin State?" the old man Zhongyin said with a smile.

"With your hands, you will definitely be able to train a young master of Qin with outstanding abilities, but..." Heixia stared at the old man Zhongyin without blinking his eyes, and after a while, he said: "However, young master Qin He also has the qualifications to become the king of Qin."

"Well, his ability to be the king's chair is naturally his ability, what's all the fuss about?" Zhong Yin said with a nonchalant expression on his face.

"Do you think that everyone in the world has forgotten the Emperor Star seven years ago?" Heixia's tone was abrupt, full of anger.

"Hehe, of course I know about the Emperor Star, but what does that have to do with Zheng'er?" Elder Zhongyin asked pretending to be puzzled.

"It doesn't matter!?" Heixia almost jumped up this time, and shouted, "I don't believe you can't guess the identity of Emperor Xing!"

"The identity of Emperor Xing? Isn't that the son of King Zhao? I heard it's called Zhao Yan." Elder Zhong Yin said with a slightly positive attitude.

Heixia still looked at him angrily, but this time he didn't say anything.Old man Zhong Yin was not embarrassed at all after being stared at by Hei Xia for so long.In the end, Heixia was still thin-skinned, snorted, and looked away.

"Why are you angry? The past is over, and the future is unknown. Do you still care about the past?" The old man Zhongyin took a sip of tea, but his eyes were fixed on Heixia.

"Ancestors, how can I, a descendant, forget the grudges of our ancestors!" Heixia said angrily, an unknown force in his body was rampant, as if it was about to break out.

"Old friend!" The old man Zhongyin shouted lightly.

Heixia's body trembled, and then he quickly adjusted back to his original messy state, and it became the same as before, like a pool of stagnant water.Heixia sighed softly, and said weakly: "Oh, thank you old friend, but my heart..."

"Why do you care about Qin's actions at the beginning? This is the way of the world. Besides, the reason why Zhang Yi split Mohism back then was the internal reasons of your Mohist family. Even without Zhang Yi, the Mohisthism would fall apart." Zhongyin comforted the old man .

As the old man Zhongyin said, 70 years ago, it was the time of King Qin Huiwen.After the Qin State experienced the Xiaogong Reform, that is, the Shang Yang Reform, its national power gradually became stronger.In the period of King Qin Huiwen, Qin State not only regained all the land occupied by the most powerful Wei State at that time, but also counterattacked Wei State and occupied many Wei State's homeland.Later, King Wei Huiwen united the other five countries to attack Qin, but was defeated by the Qin army outside Hangu Pass, with corpses floating for hundreds of miles and blood flowing like rivers.Qin State became the head of the Seven Kingdoms in the first battle.And the Qin army's fearless fighting style made the armies of the six countries even more frightened.The six kingdoms of Shandong also changed from despising Qin to fearing Qin. Since then, Qin has begun to devour the six kingdoms.

Facing the menacing Qin State, the six countries were defeated in several battles, so they could only cede territory and seek peace.The power of the Qin State and the inaction of the monarchs of the six countries made the people of the six countries at that time afraid to speak out.As a Mohist who loves non-offensive and saves the world as his own responsibility, he naturally went to the opposite side of Qin.Started to develop new combat tools for the armies of the six countries and replaced old weapons, which greatly improved the combat capabilities of the armies of the six countries.

As the armies of the Six Nations were equipped with better weapons, the losses of the Qin army began to increase, and sometimes even the victories were miserable.However, the results produced after the victory were far from what Qin had paid.

For the Mohist funding of the Six Kingdoms, the King Huiwen of the Qin Kingdom at that time was undoubtedly shocked and angry.Then he dispatched Qin State's secret agency, Black Ice Terrace, to recruit the Mo family's nemesis, the Gongshu family who mastered overbearing mechanism techniques, to serve Qin State.

Since the ancestor of the Gongshu family, Gongshu Ban, lost to Mozi in front of the King of Chu, the Gongshu family has plummeted, and the kings of various countries no longer buy the mechanism skills of the Gongshu family.The Mohist family, who stepped on the top of the Gongshu family, undoubtedly gained a lot of limelight for a while. It was also at that time that the Mohisthism officially began to rise and quickly became famous in the Seven Kingdoms.This shows the great hatred between the Gongshu family and the Mohists.

Therefore, when King Qin's secret envoy approached the Gongshu family, the Gongshu family agreed without even thinking about it.But when the King of Qin was about to welcome the Gongshu family to take over Shangfang, the military industry department of the Qin State, Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi asked the King of Qin to suspend and proposed a plan.It was precisely this strategy that brought the Mohist family, which was so prosperous at that time, to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden.

The Mohist giant at that time was undoubtedly a genius and a hero with the world in mind.However, all human beings have shortcomings, and the weakness of this Mohist giant is indecision.He used to have three disciples, and all three disciples were talented in the sky, both mechanical skills and martial arts were excellent, they were undoubtedly outstanding people at that time.

Geniuses are always arrogant, this is the human nature that has not changed since ancient times.So when the three outstanding talents gathered together, the Mo family undoubtedly planted a bomb, which would blow the Mo family to pieces.The Mohist giant at the time was also very aware of this problem, but his palms and backs were full of flesh, and he couldn't bear to make a decision, which one to suppress and which one to support.After all, in the Warring States period when talents were scarce, such high-end talents, not to mention the Mohist school, even the king of a country also cherished them.As a result, the three geniuses continued to fight openly and secretly.

It was okay at the beginning, but they competed with each other in mechanical skills and martial arts, and each had a winner or loser, and they didn't reach the point of endless death, at most they just quarreled and blushed.However, when one person starts breaking the rules, the whole nature of the matter changes.

Speaking of which, it was a trivial matter.At that time, one of the three disciples was not good at organ skills, so whenever the organ skills were tested, he was always depressed.And one of his elders was one of the referees who assessed organ skills. During an assessment, the referee was temporarily moved by selfishness and asked other colleagues to award the first place to this disciple.

The obvious misjudgment quickly aroused the suspicion of the other two disciples, and the two teamed up to find out the truth.The two who learned the truth were angry and furious. The mechanism they worked so hard to make was not as good as a referee's words!
Although the Mohist giant later dealt with the referee, the two of them, who were only in their early twenties at the time, understood one thing from it, that is, no matter how excellent mechanism skills or martial arts are, they cannot compare to the role of power.Since then, the seeds of struggle for power and profit have germinated quietly between the two.Soon, another disciple who sensed something was wrong between the two joined in.The three of them continued to use their own advantages to win over the leaders of the Mo family, and won their support by promising various benefits.In addition, the giants of the Mohist school were engrossed in the affairs of the Six Kingdoms at that time, and the middle and lower levels of the Mohist school were basically divided up by the three people.

And Zhang Yi's strategy was to provoke the three people at that time and let them compete for the position of Mohist giant.Such an idea that sounds very superficial, has achieved great success for the three people whose eyes were blinded by power.Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi also gave full play to his talents, disguised as a counselor, and advised the middle-strength senior brother among the three disciples.Soon, it didn't take long for this disciple's strength to be close to that of the strongest second senior brother, and even surpass him by a lot.Then, Zhang Yi went to assist the second senior brother who was once the strongest.Such constant back and forth, the two are constantly fighting, constantly generating friction and conflict.However, there are always losses in conflict and friction, and sources of supplementary strength are also needed.So the two of them started to target the third junior brother who was the weakest, causing him to be squeezed everywhere.

Soon, Zhang Yi began to implement the second step of the plan-to assassinate the giant.Such an action is certainly very difficult, but it is no longer a problem for the increasingly powerful and thriving Qin State.In addition, the giants of the Mohists were busy with military affairs, and even more tired of the internal struggles of the Mohists. This was the time when their spirits were most relaxed.Because of fear of carrying the notoriety of killing soldiers, Qin State adopted poisonous killing.In this way, it is closer to the "truth" that the Mohist giant died of mental exhaustion.

After learning of the death of their master, the three disciples were sad for a while, and soon they fought together.Undoubtedly, the third junior brother who was the weakest was beaten badly.Even he himself narrowly escaped multiple assassinations.Just when he was in despair, Zhang Yi appeared and told him, "Although Qin is still black, the land of Qin is all white!" The meaning is obvious. Although Qin State advocates black festivals, it is also the only country without Mohism.

This third junior brother is also a sensible person. Although he knows that he will bear the notoriety of betraying his teacher when he arrives in Qin State, it is better than having all his relatives and friends killed.

After all, Zhang Yi was Zhang Yi, he knew that the Mohists had an unparalleled influence among the six kingdoms in Shandong, and Qin alone would not be able to swallow the Mohists.That's why he forced the third junior brother, who was the weakest, to join the Qin Dynasty and completely split the Mo family.

Zhang Yi was successful, and the Mo family was divided into three by him, becoming Qin Mo, Jin Mo, and Chu Mo.Not only did Qin State obtain some of the advanced mechanism techniques and most of the basic mechanism techniques of the Mohist School, but it also made the two factions of the Mohist School confront each other and obstruct each other's plans to resist Qin.

Due to the reputation accumulated by the previous Mohist tycoon in the army, the two had a huge influence on the armies of the Six Nations, and the Six Nations returned to their previous state of melee.From then on, the Qin Army once again regained its title of "Tiger and Wolf Division" on the battlefield, and Qin Mo, who entered Qin, was quickly integrated by the Qin State and became a bargaining chip to curry favor with the Gongshu family.

The turmoil of the Mohist school 70 years ago is undoubtedly unacceptable to any Mohist practitioner.When they understood the reason for the Mohist split, they all cursed Qin.However, after experiencing the taste of power, the remaining two factions of the Mohist school could not abandon their previous suspicions, and they still fought for each other.

The old man Zhongyin looked at Heixia quietly, waiting for Heixia's answer.He knows the past of the Mohist family, and also understands how hard it is to reintegrate the Hei Xia of the Mohist family.From the perspective of a bystander and a friend, he undoubtedly hoped that Hei Xia would recognize the situation: Qin is strong and the Emperor Star has appeared, so stop making useless resistance, otherwise you will die and your family will perish.
