Chapter 358 Everyone is struggling
No one is stupid.
It is human instinct to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.
Whether it is people like Hong Zhan who stand at the top of humankind in this world, or people at the lowest level who can't even afford three meals a day.
They can all sense danger and will naturally make the choice to avoid danger.
It's just that because of the huge difference in the information they have access to, they often make huge differences in their choices.
And this is the information gap.
The final benefits brought about by the information gap are vastly different.
At this time, Li Dachui was still a legend among the people, and most people even did not know that such a person existed.
There are many people who have never been away from home more than a few dozen miles in their lives, and have never even been to the county seat. How can you expect them to have any far-sighted plans!
If you can live the life in front of you day by day, you are considered a wise man.
So many times, even if the world is turned upside down and the dynasty changes, when you carefully examine those people who are at the top, you will be surprised to find that many people who were on the stage before are still standing on the stage now.
Even the people who used to stand at the corners of the stage are now standing in the middle of the stage.
In fact, there are not many new people, sometimes it can even be said to be a handful.
There are only a handful of these, and sometimes they are even deliberately placed on the table. The intention is of course to let all the people at the lowest level see such examples.
As long as you work hard,
As long as you struggle,
then you also hope to become a person like him, working your way up from the bottom, and finally standing in the center of the stage.
This is the smartest approach for those in power.
So countless people regard this example as their ultimate goal,
It doesn't matter how successful you are in the end.
The important thing is that such a goal can appease 99% of people.
Even 99% of people can comfort themselves after failure. It’s not that they didn’t work hard, it’s just that they haven’t had the chance yet, and maybe it will be their turn next time.
So we proceed to the next round of struggle calmly.
Of course, in times of peace, the court usually used methods such as imperial examinations to allow the people to have a upward path.
However, the truly powerful people naturally have a path of advancement that ordinary people do not know or understand.
Ordinary people need to work hard all their lives to get it,
they may be born with it.
Your end is just the starting point for others.
Just like Hong Zhan now,
Isn't he angry that Li Dachui pretended to be himself and killed Li Tai, putting such a big blame on his head?
You must know that Li Tai is the crown prince of Qin who is justly recognized by the world.
People like Linghuye marched under the banner of Qing Jun and punishing traitors and sycophants.
If they win, will bad guys like Hong Zhan want to punish the nine tribes to give an explanation to the former prince, and if they do not avenge the prince and emperor, how can these victors demonstrate their legitimacy!
So Hong Zhan can either follow Wei Zhengdao closely, or choose another powerful figure who can ensure the safety of his family and continue the family's prosperity.
Wei Zhengdao is obviously unreliable.
So Hong Zhan’s choices were very limited.
Basically it can only be Li Dachui.
Innate masters are indeed the strategic nuclear weapons of this era,
But after all, they are still flesh and blood people,
It’s not that you come and go naked without any worries.
Only those innate masters who have no bonds or worries and dare to give up everything will make everyone else fear them.
Tang Yin is an innate master,
but for the sake of the Tang family, he had to fight with Hong Zhanhuo first, and in order to escape, he chose to lose both sides, and then attacked again even though he was still seriously injured. Another innate master launched a challenge and refused to retreat. In the end, he was benevolent and died on the battlefield.
Hong Zhan is an innate master. He can come and go without a trace. Whoever messes with him, he can quietly pick off the head of someone. Even someone like Li Dachui can't. Protecting his subordinates can save their lives from Hong Zhan's attack.
But what about the Hong family?
As long as Hong Zhan dares to be the first, the entire Hong family will suffer immediately.
After all, there are not many innate masters who are as naked as Zhou Zhi.
This is also the reason why Zhou Zhi dared to threaten Linghuye back then.
If Linghuye dares to attack Li Dachui, Zhou Zhi will use any means to deal with Linghuye.
So Linghuye had to sit back and watch Li Dachui slowly develop and grow, and eventually became his biggest enemy.
As soon as there is care and fetters, one can only fall into the world's web and struggle hard within.
It’s just that the ultimate goal of such people’s struggles is different from that of ordinary people.
Either for life, fame, fortune, honor, survival, or other inexplicable things, everyone is struggling in this web called the world.
It begins with birth and ends with death. Hong Zhan is struggling to find a good future for his family.
Wei Zhengdao is struggling, not only for the survival of his family, but also for the continuation of his political life.
Li Dachui is also struggling. In order to build the best country in his mind, of course, in Under this big goal, there are also some small personal goals.
No one can move forward easily, everyone is carrying a heavy shell and trudging on the road of life.
In the end, someone can leave a mark on history,
It has a name in history, but also has a stench that lasts for thousands of years. If you can't eat it with five tripods, you will cook it with five tripods.
But most people are like dust and are annihilated in the world without any trace.
Even their relatives and descendants will gradually forget the past of their ancestors in the distant years. .
The beauty of a gentleman will be killed in five lifetimes!
While Li Dachui was struggling hard in the south, in the far north, in a place called Zhending Mansion, Tie Le was also struggling desperately, or in other words, struggling.
The powerful Yuan Kingdom collapsed and split into three after Yingzhuo's death.
Akedun occupied Yandu and gained the support of most of the important ministers and generals of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He nominally became the new emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and was also the strongest.
After Dan Tiele led his troops to escape to Zhending Mansion, he regained his strength and led his men to defeat Yandu's crusade several times. After that, he had established a firm foothold. At the beginning of this year, he proclaimed himself emperor in Zhending. , openly challenged Yandu Akedun.
But the abominable Li Dachui let the eldest prince of Beiyuan Zhebie go in Qingtongxia, allowing Zhebei to lead his troops to escape back to Beiyuan, and then he rushed all the way to the north, and now he got Wu With the support of the Eight Tribes of Solid Enemy Lieutenants, although their life was the most difficult, their strength was not weak. In addition, the northern barbarians were extremely loyal to Zhebie. Now the sturdy northern nomadic cavalry has defeated Tiele and Akedun. All the emperors had a severe headache.
Because when Jebe's men robbed, they did not distinguish between people.
He robbed Tie Le's, and he also robbed A Ke Dun's.
Whatever is on the plate is the dish.
Neither Akedun nor Tiele were interested in dealing with Jebe, because they knew very well that going against Jebe was a thankless task.
It is impossible to find his main force to fight.
Unlike Tiele and Akedun's subordinates, who now have cities and farms, and farming and animal husbandry are just different auxiliaries, Zhebie just lives by water and grass, without any burden, and can be at any time Everywhere they rolled up their bedding, mounted their horses and left.
When Li Dachui was mentioned, Tiele gritted his teeth.
Bei Yuan is what it is today, it can be said that it is entirely thanks to Li Dachui.
But even though he was itching with hatred, Tiele still had to keep a smile on his face when he really wanted to meet with Li Dachui's men.
The current Beiting Protectorate has strong soldiers and horses, and the standing army led by Xiao Changche exceeds 50,000 people. For this powerful army, if their front is slightly biased, the opponent standing opposite them will be extremely uncomfortable.
Because like Tiele, now we have to guard against both Akodon and Zhebie.
On the contrary, there is still the possibility of negotiation with Beiting.
With Akedun, there is no room for negotiation at all.
It is a typical ending of either you die or I die.
Recalling the scene where he was almost killed by Akedun at the Xuanwu Gate, Tiele wished he could cut Akedun into seven or eight pieces to vent his hatred.
There were footsteps outside the door. Tie Le stopped writing and looked at the door, where Gao Qunshu appeared.
"Your Majesty, Dean Zhou is here to visit!"
"Please come in, Dean Zhou!" Tiele said.
Dean Zhou, whose surname is Zhou Mingyi, is the deputy dean of Zhiqiuyuan of the Beiting Protectorate. Tiele is not sure what role this person played in the change of Yandu, but in the end Leading thousands of soldiers to fight out of the tunnel and save Tie Le's life is a real deal.
From this perspective, Zhou Yi is Tiele’s benefactor.
Although this person’s purpose of saving Tie Le was impure, for Tie Le, there was nothing left after death, and there was still hope of a chance to survive.
And now Zhou Yi is also an indispensable figure for Tiele who has established his capital in Zhending Mansion.
A large amount of urgently needed supplies were all transported by Zhou Yi's caravan.
The caravan heading north from outside the Pass cannot move forward without the consent of the Beiting Protectorate.
“Zhou Yi has met His Majesty!”
The chubby Zhou Yi bowed his head to the ground and straightened up before Tie Le could say anything.
If he is a simple businessman, then this etiquette is naturally wrong, but Zhou Yi is an important minister of Beiting, and the Protector of Beiting is now at least an equal to Tiele. As soon as he bowed to the ground, Zhou Yi was already very Respect Tiele's performance.
Here, there is more or less the reason for Princess Changle.
You must know that in Yandu, when Zhou Yi faced Akedun, he only bowed lightly.
"Dean Zhou, please sit down!" Tie Le leaned back on the big chair, clasped his hands and folded them in front of his abdomen, looking at Zhou Yi with a half-smile: "You came from Yandu Right? How is it over there?"
Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head like a salesman: "Your Majesty, you haven't seen the current situation in Yandu. It makes sense, the places outside the city are full of people dying of hunger, it’s so miserable!”
