Chapter 630: People are all selfish
In essence, people are actually selfish.
When encountering danger, the first thing to consider instinctively is your own safety. When your interests are damaged, the first priority is how to reduce your own losses.
This is true for ordinary people,
It is also true for those in high positions.
It's just that these people who control the destiny of the country often tie their own interests to those of the country.
So many times, you can't tell whether they are doing it for themselves or for the greater good.
Just like the Danyang coup launched by Xiang Ying and Xiong Yi this time, from their point of view, it is of course the most important thing. It is for the immortality of Da Chu's country and the loss of orthodoxy, and to stop the demon sect. conspiracy to subvert.
What is hidden under this righteous name is that the two major families are in danger under Jiang Qian's rule.
The simplest way for Jiang Qian to solve the increasingly intensified conflicts in the country is to capture these two families and use the wealth they have accumulated over the past few hundred years to feed back the people in the country and shape themselves in this way. The tall and positive image will lay the foundation for the subsequent army preparations for war and the Northern Expedition to unify the world.
If all this is achieved, Jiang Qian will undoubtedly become the first woman in history.
You know, how powerful was Empress Wu in the Yong Dynasty? After ruling Dayong for decades, he only had a curtain to listen to the government.
The two Xiong and Xiang families do not want to become a stepping stone on Jiang Qian's path forward, so they must rise up to resist.
Even if you cooperate with someone like Li Dachui who obviously has bad intentions, it is imperative.
Even if they understand that what Jiang Qian is doing now is a good thing for Dachu and is the most likely path to success.
But if you want to move forward on this path, you must sacrifice the two major Xiong Xiang families. Their hundreds of years of wealth, popularity, and privileges will all be wiped out on Jiang Qian's path!
Are they willing?
Being willing is a joke.
Their choice is to rise up and overthrow Jiang Qian's rule.
As for whether Da Chu can make another northern expedition to unify the world in the future, it is not considered at all.
It is also very good to separate the north and the south as it is now. It has been like this for hundreds of years, why should we change it?
Whether it is inside or outside, no one wants Jiang Qian to succeed,
so Jiang Qian can only fail.
It’s just that the complexity of the current situation far exceeds Xiong Yi and Xiang Ying’s previous estimates.
Li Dachui's overall plan was completely unexpected by Xiang Ying and Xiong Yi.
Na Wei originally had the strongest support from the Xiang Xiong Er clan, but now, he has become their biggest threat.
Li Dachui took advantage of people's instinct to seek the best interests for themselves and let Na Wei enter the game at a critical moment, thus causing trouble in Chu's internal affairs.
To put it bluntly, it means that Chu will continue to fight within the country and cannot form a joint force.
At least for a short time.
By the time the Xiang family, Xiong family, and Nawei sat at the negotiating table, re-divided their spheres of influence, and prepared to set off together again, Li Dachui's side had already established a firm foothold, and it was already too late to annihilate them again. An impossible thing.
It is undoubtedly extremely important to consider this incident in the context of the great cause of striving for world hegemony.
Li Dachui completed the last part of his plan to lay out the world, forming a perfect closed loop.
Outside the Pass, in the middle of Sichuan, and south of the Yangtze River, the triangle forms a triangulation.
The general trend has been achieved.
What remains is how to connect these plates into one. I can’t say that I will definitely win, but at least I have a much higher probability of success than others.
The most indispensable thing in this world is people who follow the trend.
Following the crowd is not a derogatory term. To put it another way, this idiom means that those who know the current affairs are outstanding. Or it can be interpreted as the great righteousness, and they will naturally flock to them.
Does Na Wei know what Li Dachui really means?
Of course it’s clear!
But so what?
He can use this incident to go further, stand at the highest position, and then turn around and compete with Li Dachui again.
People like them have extremely strong self-confidence.
Believe that you can do everything that others cannot, and believe that you can defeat all the forces that oppose you.
Without this kind of self-confidence, they would definitely not be where they are today.
So Na Weiming knew that Li Dachui had bad intentions, but he still entered the situation with his own body, seeking such an opportunity.
In Na Wei's view, if he can control the overall situation, after controlling Da Chu's current sphere of influence, he can also make the entire southwest region fully invested, and Da Chu's strength will be even higher.
If Xiang Ying and others are allowed to continue to be in power, the southwest will not be able to fully trust the Chu court, and will inevitably try to protect themselves, or even go against the will and be unable to gather their strength at all.
Not to mention that Xiang Ying's defeat is now a foregone conclusion. Whether he can come back or not has become a question.
The Xianrenling Military Village is the last gate into Danyang. When the great army entered the city, what stood in their way was the three thousand Tiger Guard Army led by Jiang Qian's confidant Lin Yunqi.
After more than ten days of hard fighting, Lin Yunqi failed, and Na Wei officially entered the power center of Chu State from here.
A few months later, he once again led his troops to arrive here. Standing in front of him was no longer the arrogant Lin Yunqi, but an officer who was trembling in front of him and speechless.
The military camp on Xianren Ridge has been renovated and looked brand new, but in the eyes of Na Wei, who had just come off the battlefield, it lacked a sense of murderousness and ruthlessness.
Compared to when Lin Yunqi was here, he is not at the same level at all.
So Na Wei didn't bother to say more than a word to the other party.
He snatched the so-called imperial edict from the guy's hand, smashed it into powder in front of the officer, and then rode forward under the gaze of the pale-faced officer.
On the Immortal Ridge, thousands of officers and soldiers watched the southwest wolf soldiers marching in formation at the foot of the mountain, but no one dared to make a sound or shoot a target.
On the contrary, a wolf soldier officer wearing straw sandals and a handkerchief led dozens of people to the front of Dazhai. He roared and came to take over the defense of Xianren Ridge on the order of the manager. The village gate obediently opened in front of him, and a group of officers lined up cautiously.
How can a group of temporarily recruited officers and soldiers compete with these ruthless men who have just come off the battlefield of blood and fire?
What's more, these officers also know what's going on here.
It's not like the enemy is calling.
The manager who came is a high-ranking official of the imperial court. He is the father-in-law of the new emperor who has just ascended the throne for less than a month. Such a person wants to enter the capital with tens of thousands of people. , who is willing to do this to stand in the way?
Wanting to die is not such a way to die.
Nearly 30,000 southwest wolf soldiers marched straight into Danyang.
More messengers are rushing back to the southwest. They have brought back Na Wei's order to summon more southwest wolf soldiers to go north.
