Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing
Chapter 326 The world is shaken, family alliance!
Chapter 326 The world is shaken, and a hundred schools of thought gather together!
Can the treasures in the Mohist treasury really make up for Gongshu’s countless years of losses and the deaths of his clansmen in battle?
Of course not!
But if the Gongshu family was so short-sighted as to simply focus on the immediate interests, it would not have been possible for them to withstand the suppression of the Mohists for so long.
The situation couldn’t be clearer now.
After the loss of Gongshu Jia, many schools among the hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools were willing to join Jia Cong and get a share of the Dongli Academy.
Having lost Jia Cong as his backer, Gongshu Jia had no choice but to return to Guanzhong.
You will be beaten back to your original form in an instant.
The relationship between the two sides has long ceased to be equal!
Furthermore…
If the superior thinks you are at a disadvantage!
Even if you lose more, you will make it back in the end. It’s just a matter of time.
Gongshu Jun didn’t even plan to transport this 10% of the money back to his clan.
Instead, it was invested directly in the construction of the shipyard.
“Forget it. Gongshujia takes 10% of the things here, Legalism takes 10%, Mohism keeps 20%, and the remaining 60% is for you to take away!”
After taking a look at Gongshu Jun and seeing that the other party’s tone was serious, Jia Cong nodded and then began to divide it.
“Master Hou, this…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Jianwen couldn’t help but speak.
Before he could finish his words, Jia Cong waved his hand to stop him.
“Mr. Jianwen knows my character, so don’t refuse!”
“Then I will accept it with shame. Don’t worry, my lord. I still have many disciples in various places.”
“The Legalists are willing to send two more great scholars and ten great scholars to teach at Dongli Academy!”
Upon hearing this, Tang Jianwen had no choice but to accept it, and then he made a promise to Jia Cong.
Tang Jianwen was not the only one who felt surprised at this moment.
Sun Kexing never expected that Jia Cong would actually keep 20% of the Mohist treasure.
It was said that it was left to the Mohist School, but now the Mohist School only has Sun Kexing, a semi-saint, left.
Need I say more about who it will be left to?
Now that he had received a reward without having made any contribution, Sun Kexing undoubtedly felt more loyal.
“Mr. Sun!”
Just as he was thinking about it, Sun Kexing heard Jia Cong calling him.
There was no belittling of Sun Kexing’s surrendered status in his words, and addressing him as “Sir” was also a way to give Sun Kexing enough face.
“My subordinate is here!”
Sun Kexing quickly bowed respectfully in response.
“Mr. Sun, you don’t have to be so polite.”
“Since the Mohist School has already joined my army, I will not mention the past again.”
“This Marquis wants to find another good port in Guangdong to build a shipyard and military factory!”
“To supply the southern expedition army, and also to send reliable personnel from the Mohist school.”
“Also, the Dongli Academy is now expanding, and many places are still short of teachers.”
Sun Kexing was startled when he heard this, and keenly grasped the key point in Jia Cong’s words.
Reliable hands!
Not counting the disciples of the Mohist School who are traveling outside, there are 200,000 core disciples of the Mohist School living in the Mechanical City alone.
How could so many people be of one mind and one purpose when they suddenly changed their flags and joined Jia Cong’s army?
Not to mention that many of them were direct disciples of the deceased Mo Guang and the other two.
These people need to be cleaned!
It is also a token of allegiance that Sun Kexing needs to pay!
“Don’t worry, my Lord. In ten days at most, the Mohist School is willing to send two great scholars and ten great scholars to lead 50,000 Mohist disciples and craftsmen to Guangdong to find land to build a shipyard and arsenal.”
“Similarly, the Mohist School is willing to send two great scholars and twenty great scholars to teach at the Dongli Academy.”
“I have been stubborn and opposed the Marquis before. I am willing to follow the army south to show my loyalty to the Mohist school!”
The Mohist School had just joined Jia Cong’s army, and this was the time when they needed to show their abilities.
Sun Kexing estimated in his mind the remaining strength of the Mohist School after the purge and then sent them all out.
He even took the initiative to request to join the army heading south!
“Okay, as long as the Mohist School works loyally for me in the future, I promise that your Mohist School will one day surpass its peak period!”
Jia Cong turned his head and glanced at Sun Kexing.
“Thank you, Lord Marquis!”
……
“Bei Kong… Mohist School!”
After leaving the treasury, Sun Kexing went out and began a vigorous purge of the Mohist disciples.
Gongshu Jun and Tang Jianwen were also very tactful and found excuses to leave temporarily.
In the Mohist inheritance lecture hall, only Jia Cong and the ghosts and gods under his command were left.
After a few whispers, Jia Cong already had a plan in mind.
What the “Highland Sage” Basger thought was right.
Jia Cong was indeed plotting Confucianism and Taoism.
It is not just that Wenhou’s Dharma body is eroding the rules of Confucianism and Taoism, but he is also plotting against the elites among the hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools!
The southern expedition to India was imminent, and even Jia Cong himself had to admit that Brahmanism had existed for countless years.
The experts currently under his command are still somewhat inadequate.
Today, the two toughest bones to chew in Confucianism and Taoism, Northern Confucius and Mohism, have been trampled upon.
Nankong can be considered as a half-ally of Jia Cong and is deeply tied to Dongli Academy.
The trend has been set, and it is time to establish Jia Cong’s status in Confucianism and Taoism in one fell swoop.
“Sister Bao!”
Thinking of this, Jia Cong looked up at Baochai.
“Spread the news. The Mohist School has been brought under our wing.”
“On the first day of April, the Shuzhong Jiange, the Mohist secret realm, invites the descendants of hundreds of schools to come and discuss the promotion of Confucianism and the expansion of Dongli Academy!”
“Cong’er, what do you want?”
Baochai raised her head and immediately guessed Jia Cong’s plan.
“Dongli Academy is now spread all over the world. The trend is set and we no longer need other allies.”
“If the Confucianism and Taoism want to continue to pass on the reputation of Mohism, they must make a choice!”
Jia Cong’s cold voice echoed in the hall!
“Okay, I’ll get someone to do it right away!”
Upon hearing this, Baochai nodded in acceptance.
Relying on the ghost and god system that has been established in various places, after giving the order.
The news spread quickly!
In less than seven days, the news of Mohist surrender had spread throughout the world.
The three great masters Mo Guang, Mo Ying and Mo Liu have fallen!
Mo Wen, who was in the late fifth realm of semi-saint, was suppressed and killed!
The secret realm of Mohist Mechanical City has changed hands!
The sensation it caused was no less than the one when Jia Cong destroyed the Kong family last year!
You have to know that the Kong family took advantage of the absence of the late semi-saint in the Kong family.
This time, the Mohist school could be said to have shown its full strength, but in the end it was still defeated by Jia Cong.
Choose to surrender!
The shock it brought can be imagined!
……
Henan
Wuyang County
In the private school, the stove was burning brightly.
The sound of more than ten children reading aloud is clear and pleasant to the ears.
There is an indescribable sense of comfort.
At this moment, a ball of literary energy descended from the sky, and when it dissipated, a thin figure was revealed.
Seeing this, Gongsun Kangyun, who was examining students’ homework in the private school, put down his book.
Let the students study on their own and then leave the private school.
He was led to the small pavilion outside and sat down.
Soon a servant brought fragrant tea.
“Brother Ming, how come you have time to visit my thatched cottage today?”
After reminiscing about the past, Gongsun Kangyun finally asked about his friend’s purpose. “Marquis Jing’an has already broken through the Mohist Mechanical City and spread the news in Jiange, inviting people from all schools to attend the meeting on the first day of April.”
“First, we want to discuss the promotion of Confucianism and Taoism, and second, we want to share the benefits of Dongli Academy.”
“The Mohist sect only has one semi-saint left alive, Sun Kexing, who has already joined the army of Marquis Jing’an.”
Wei Mingtang took a sip of tea and then spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Kangyun’s hand holding the teacup couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Obviously he hasn’t recovered from this shocking news.
“First it was the Northern Confucius, and now even the Mohist school…”
“Among the hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools, no one can stop the Marquis of Jing’an now.”
“Yes, I came here to ask Brother Kang Yun to come out of retirement. When I was studying with him in the past, Brother Kang Yun’s talent was far superior to mine.”
“It’s really a waste of my talent to teach in this small private school now.”
Wei Mingtang looked sincere, but Gongsun Kangyun frowned and fell into deep thought.
“Together we discuss the development of Confucianism and Taoism, and the Dongli Academy…”
“I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”
“Brother Zhang wrote to me last month, talking about the Dongli Academy. He said that the noble families in various places have been frightened by the ruthless methods of Marquis Jing’an.”
“There is no longer any resistance to the development of the academy. The trend is set.”
“Why initiate the alliance at this time?”
“Is it possible?”
After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Kangyun suddenly raised his head in surprise, his eyes widened.
“Marquis Jing’an’s southern expeditionary army arrived at the border of Tianzhu last year. I heard that there have been constant frictions between the two sides in the past six months, and small-scale fighting has never stopped.”
“In the past six months, the imperial court has reorganized its troops several times, and attacking India has become a permanent goal.”
“I’m afraid that the purpose of this alliance is to discuss the promotion of Confucianism and Taoism, but to gather people to attack India together!”
……
“Brother Kang Yun is indeed a man of quick thinking. He understood the whole thing in a short time. I am far inferior to him!”
“I thought about it for a long time after receiving the news a few days ago, and finally figured it out with the help of my teacher.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Mingtang smiled bitterly.
“The Brahmanism of India has a long tradition, and is even superior to the hundreds of schools of thought in China, such as Confucianism and Taoism. There are many masters in the religion, and many hidden talents.”
“If that’s the case, why did Brother Ming go to the alliance?”
“This journey is bound to be full of dangers. Fighting is common in the fifth realm. With your and my strength at the early stage of the fourth realm…”
“Brother Ming, do we have any choice?”
Without waiting for Gongsun Kangyun to advise him, Wei Mingtang looked up and asked back.
This question immediately silenced Gongsun Kangyun.
“Nine classes and ten families…”
“I started my career as a novelist at an early age, just as early as any other famous school of thought, and my name will go down in history.”
“They are called the Ten Great Schools, but they exclude novelists like me from the Ninth Class. What a humiliation this is.”
“If you miss this opportunity, you will never have another chance.”
Wei Mingtang looked indignant.
Both of them are novelists, but novelists have become extremely scarce nowadays.
It is even more decadent than the Legalists who were rejected by Confucianism.
The share of Confucian and Taoist rules is almost zero.
The last time Dongli Academy expanded, the novelist seized the opportunity and sent a great scholar there.
After learning about the details of Dongli Academy, I knew it was only a matter of time before it developed into a behemoth.
To be precise, even with the current size of Dongli Academy.
Jia Cong is also capable of deciding the life and death of hundreds of Confucian and Taoist schools.
Students all over the world are proud to enter Dongli Academy. With the support of the imperial court, the most talented children of school age from all over the country will also enter Dongli Academy to study.
It would be great if you could teach at Dongli Academy!
If he is not admitted, he can only select the remaining people in Dongli Academy to become his disciples.
Without talented disciples to serve as fresh blood, even the most prosperous school will decline sooner or later.
So regarding the alliance meeting, it seemed that Jia Cong only issued an invitation.
For the Confucian and Taoist schools, there is no choice!
……
“What did the teacher say?”
Gongsun Kangyun also understood the novelist’s helplessness, so he could only sigh and ask.
“Teacher said that Marquis Jing’an has always been generous and has never been stingy when it comes to dividing up the profits.”
“He is the best candidate for an ally. This meeting may seem full of dangers, but it is actually the best opportunity for novelists!”
“Teacher has sent letters to fellow disciples from all over the country, asking them to meet at Jian Pavilion on April 1st to participate in the alliance.”
“Whether I succeed or fail, I have done justice to the predecessors of novelists.”
Wei Mingtang said with a firm look.
“Okay, since the teacher has made the decision, there is no reason for me to back down!”
“Brother Ming, please wait a moment here. I will dismiss the school and go with you to the Shuzhong Jiange for the alliance meeting.”
“Brothers, you and I will join forces to make a name for ourselves as novelists!”

Shanxi Province

Onmyojia
The huge courtyard occupying the entire hillside is the Yin-Yang Family’s official base camp.
The pavilions and terraces are breathtakingly beautiful.
However, the real core area is still in the mountain.
“What did you say? The Mo family has already surrendered to Marquis Jing’an?”
At this moment, the new leader of the Yin-Yang Family, Zou Minghua, heard his disciple’s report and immediately showed an expression of disbelief.
“Teacher, it is absolutely true. Marquis Jing’an killed the three great men of the Mo family on the plateau and learned the location of the secret realm of the Mo family’s mechanical city.”
“He brought his men to the door and killed the Mo family’s fifth-level late semi-saint ancestor. Only Sun Kexing was left, and he led the Mo family disciples to surrender.”
“Marquis Jing’an also sent someone to spread the news that on the first day of April, he invited all the Confucianists and Taoists to come to the Mohist Mechanical City for a meeting.”
Zou Minghua’s disciple in front of the hall reported in a low voice.
There is not only Zou Minghua, the new leader of the Yin-Yang Family, in this room.
There are also eight elders and two semi-saint ancestors.
“I understand. You go down first…”
After hearing this, Zou Minghua sat down weakly on the chair and waved his hand to let his disciples leave first.
Then he looked around at everyone in the room.
“My fellow elders and the two old ancestors, what do you think of this matter?”
“Marquis Jing’an’s move is called a meeting, but I’m afraid it’s actually about attacking India in the near future.”
“Can our Yin-Yang family go to the alliance?”
……
“Minghua, do I have any choice?”
None of the eight elders spoke, and finally a semi-saint spoke up to break the silence.
“The Marquis of Jing’an has always been overbearing. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish!”
“It doesn’t matter whether other schools go or not. They just don’t participate in the division of Dongli Academy’s interests, and it will be more difficult to pass on the legacy.”
“But my Yin-Yang family had a feud with Marquis Jing’an before, so if we don’t participate in the alliance this time.”
“When the battle of Tianzhu is over, Marquis Jing’an will definitely use the situation to attack our base camp.”
“With our family’s strength, how can we resist?”
“But what if we go to the alliance and end up being used as cannon fodder by Marquis Jing’an?” Zou Minghua frowned and expressed his concerns.
