Chapter 237: Past and Present Lives

Therefore, Mozi first conquered and united a large number of people with his academic thoughts, forming a fairly tight group organization, and then expanded the influence and persuasiveness of his academic ideas through the uncompromising implementation and implementation of these people.

The founder of the Mo family is called Mo Zhai, a native of the Song State during the Warring States Period, one says that he is from Luyang, and the other is from Tengguo (now Tengzhou, Shandong).

Mozi's main academic ideas roughly include ten propositions: contemporaneous love (equal love between people), non-aggression (opposition to wars of aggression); Shang Xian (breaking the hierarchical system and employing people on the basis of merit), Shang Tong (unifying the standard is justified); Tianzhi (follow the laws of nature and act according to the rules), Ming Ghost (believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, and be vigilant against the monarch); non-happiness (opposition to the enjoyment of sound and sex), non-fate (denying the existence of fate and not believing in the arrangement of fate); Economical (advocating thrift against extravagance and waste), thrifty burial (opposing thick burial).

Of course, these are the ideas that the Mohist organization must believe in later.

It is said that the Mohist organization founded by Mozi was an extremely disciplined academic society. The supreme leader of the Mo family is called 'Juzi', and the members of the Mo family are called 'Mozi', which is passed down from generation to generation, and all Mozi must obey Juzi's command and absolutely obey Juzi's guidance.

The discipline of the Mo family is strict, even very harsh, according to legend, 'the law of the Mo, the murderer dies, and the wounder is punished', even if it is Juzi himself or his close family, it must be strictly followed, without the slightest ambiguity. In a certain sense, the Mohists belong to a kind of group with religious beliefs, and their cohesion and execution are very strong.

Most of the Moists came from the lower strata of society, and most of them were laborers with a certain amount of knowledge, not all of them were illiterate lower-class people.

Although they live a very hard life on weekdays, they take the benefits of the world and eliminate the harm of the world as their own responsibility, and they can even truly 'go to the soup and fire and die without spinning'.

To put it in layman's terms, that is to say, the Moists bear hardships and stand hard work, are strict with themselves, and regard the maintenance of justice and morality as an unshirkable responsibility.

In addition, at that time, according to their functions, Moxia scholars were generally divided into two categories: those who engaged in debate were called 'Moxia', and those who engaged in martial arts were called 'Moxia'.

However, in the later period, the Mohists slowly divided into two branches: one focused on the study of epistemology, logic, geometry, geometric optics, statics and other disciplines, and was called 'Mohist Post-Studies' (also known as 'Later Mohists');

Time flies, and I don't know exactly when the Mo family at that time was almost wiped out in an extremely tragic battle, and it has been in a state of collapse ever since.

In addition, various intricate practical reasons and historical factors at that time have basically lost the basic living environment of the Mohist organization in the past, and since then the Mohist organization has quietly disappeared in the long river of history.

Later, I don't know how many years passed, and an organization calling itself "Short Clothes Society" suddenly appeared on the rivers and lakes, but they could vaguely see the shadow of the former Mojia organization.

And, most importantly, even the purpose of this short clothing society is an extension of some of the ideas in the Mohist thought of the past, they clearly stated: "Respect the will of heaven, promote the benefit and eliminate the harm; Enlighten ghosts and gods, promote good and punish evil. ”

And it is especially obvious that all their members must have a tattoo on the upper end of their left arm, wearing a linen shirt and a short coat of Mozi's upper body.

This is also an extremely special symbol of theirs, and perhaps this is also their inheritance and remembrance in another sense.

Of course, as for the upper body portrait of this Mozi, whether there is really an ancient version of the portrait, or whether they made it up by their own imagination, it is not known.

It's just that the leader of this short-clothed society no longer dares to call himself Juzi, but changes his name to the Netherworld Ghost King, and his subordinates are called ghost pawns.

From these titles, it can be seen that this short clothes society has been different from the traditional Mohist organization to a certain extent, and they have become the kind of secret society on the rivers and lakes.

And from these simple names of theirs, it can also be seen that although they still have not completely departed from the basic theories of the Mohists, they are already in a certain sense of abandoning the basics.

From a complete philosophical system at the beginning, it has gradually become an explanation of a simple proposition.

At this time, the nature of this short-coat society was not fundamentally different from those of the folk secret societies that appeared at a particular time.

It's just that they are still more or less influenced by the early Mohist organization, a little more.

The most important thing is that it is said that this short clothing society is really not simple, their organization is very tight, and it is not a small local group, but an underground association organization with an unprecedentedly large structure.

It is said that in their heyday, they had their own helm halls throughout the country.

It's just that this short-clothes society organization is extremely secretive, and even their own people within them don't know their organizational composition at all.

On the surface, the organizational structure of this short clothing society was roughly similar to that of other gangs at that time, consisting of a general rudder and a local rudder, but their specific functions were completely different.

Normally, most of the other gangs are in the traditional pyramid model, and the general and specific affairs are handled by the rudders in various places according to the meaning of the general rudder, and then summarized and reported.

The general rudder is only in charge of the overall coordination and arrangement, unless it is in some particularly important matters will be personally inquired, usually will never interfere too much in the specific matters of the following rudders.

However, this is not the case with the short clothes club, all their specific matters, no matter how big or small, are all handled by the chief helmsman himself.

The following rudders are only responsible for weekday inspections and combing and reporting, and do not have the slightest right to dispose of them, which is also a major feature of their short clothes club.

Their main rudder consists of an inner hall and an outer hall.

The inner hall, also known as the Heavenly Punishment Hall, is similar to the torture hall of other gangs, and is mainly responsible for the internal discipline of the entire community.

It's just that their Heavenly Punishment Hall has greater power, in addition to being responsible for the life, death and death within the entire community, they are also in charge of more important money and internal security, and they are the most elite core force of the entire community.

They are directly responsible to the supreme leader, the Nether Demon King, and their power is above that of the other halls.

The outer three halls are the Heavenly Killing Hall, the Heavenly Machine Hall, and the Heavenly Poison Hall.

The Heavenly Killing Hall is mainly responsible for planning and executing various specific actions, similar to the actual execution department now.

Tianjitang is mainly responsible for summarizing and processing, and all kinds of information reported by the rudder in various places are similar to the current intelligence and information department.

The Heavenly Poison Hall is mainly responsible for the development and manufacture of various special weapons and secret medicines, similar to the current special research and development department.

It is said that all the members of their helm are uniformly dressed in black cloth, and are called black-clothed ghost pawns, also known as black-clothed dead soldiers.

The rudder of the short clothes club is mainly responsible for patrolling and sorting out on weekdays, and accurately reporting all kinds of information from all over the country to Tianjitang in the first time.

As for the division of their rudders, it was strictly according to the region, and they specifically divided the whole country into fifteen rudders, each of which had an altar master, who was responsible for the relevant matters of the region.

The personnel under the helmsman of the Short Clothes Society generally wear ordinary gray cloth clothes, and are called gray-clothed ghost pawns, also known as gray-clothed feet.

It is said that although the Short Clothes Society has set up its own rudder in various places, the location of their main rudder is very mysterious, and it can even be said that it is not settled in a fixed place, and there is no fixed location at all.

The affairs related to the rudder of the various branches of the Short Clothes Society are specially collected and conveyed by the messengers and bearers of the Tianji Hall. The rudder divisions are not directly reported, or even have direct contact with the main rudder at all.

However, their general rudder moves randomly, and when they arrive, they temporarily use the local sub-rudder as the general rudder to deal with various important matters temporarily.

As for all the horses in the inner hall and the outer three halls of the main rudder, they also move with the main rudder at any time.

Therefore, for a long time, no one knows the specific location of their general rudder, today it may still be in the coastal area of Liaodong, and tomorrow it may be pulled out to the deep mountains of Guizhou, which is also a mysterious place of their short clothes club.

Of course, by this time, their short clothes society had already deviated from the foundation of the early Mohist organization, and was more like a secret society organization with strong religious overtones.

They just take the Mohists' 'Heavenly Will' and 'Ming Ghosts' as the supreme law, and act completely according to their own standards, and their methods of acting are relatively extreme, often resorting to assassination and kidnapping, in order to maximize their so-called 'Respect for Heavenly Will' and 'Ming Ghosts and Gods'.

They must assassinate those who they consider to be the most traitorous and evil to take their lives, and those who are rich and unkind must kidnap them for their ill-gotten gains.

Moreover, the targets of their supervision are very extensive, from high-ranking officials and nobles to ordinary people.

Later, their short clothes club intensified, and slowly and step by step it completely transformed into a killer organization on the rivers and lakes, and there was no shadow of the early Mojia organization at all.

It is said that most of the members of the Short Clothes Society are hidden among the lowest level of the people in various places on weekdays, and they are only temporarily awakened and activated when there is a task.

As for how their members of the organization are identified, there is only one clue to the peculiar invisible tattoo pattern. As for the rest of the ordinary gray clothes, they are no longer tattooed with these strange patterns. ”
