The fundamental reason for the various setbacks encountered by the weak is the word "weak", but the specific manifestations are all kinds of unreasonable disasters, which basically have nothing to do with whether they work hard or whether their decisions are correct.
There are many familiar examples in later generations. The colonial struggle between Britain and France caused the defeat of old empires such as Spain and the Netherlands; the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, the people in Northeast China were the most injured; Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola competed, but defeated Very Coke; Wong Lo Kat and
Jiaduobao fights with each other, and in the end he and Qi Zheng suffer...
In recent days, due to the mutual criticism and power struggle between Ximen Sheng, Li Zehe and others, the person who suffered the most must be Huang Shenming. In order to maximize their own strength and influence, Ximen Sheng, Li Zehe and others have been wielding hoes to dig out
In the corner of his west defense zone, Huang Shenming was about to become a loner.
Therefore, among the senior military attachés in Liaodong Town, Huang Shenming, as the commander-in-chief of the West Road Defense Area, was the last to receive news of the movements of reinforcements from various areas in Liaodong.
After receiving the news, Huang Shenming did not dare to neglect and wanted to leave the camp to greet him.
Huang Shenming was full of expectations for He Bandit's entry into the field with his troops. He also counted on He Bandit to bring justice to him so that he could consolidate his power and recover his losses.
At this moment, Huang Shenming suddenly received a report saying that Li Shijie sent someone to see him and that there was important news that needed to be communicated.
Huang Shenming did not dare to offend Li Shijie. Recently, he even advanced and retreated with Li Shijie, so after hearing the report, he immediately invited people into the tent.
But when Huang Shenming saw the two "Li Shijie's envoys", he couldn't help but be shocked.
The two people in front of me were clearly Zhao Junchen, the elder of the Ming Dynasty, and Jiang Quan, a member of the Forbidden Army. However, they both wore the mandarin duck uniforms of the Ming Dynasty army and were disguised to a certain extent.
Huang Shenming didn't understand why Zhao Junchen and Jiang Quan still appeared in front of him silently, since the Liaodong Frontier Army had been closely monitoring the Forbidden Army's station.
Because of the limited time, Zhao Junchen did not go around in circles after seeing Huang Shenming. He took advantage of Huang Shenming's surprise and went straight to the topic, saying: "I have received news that reinforcements from all over Liaodong will be here soon.
At that time, there is a high probability that the other four Liaodong generals except General Huang will be eliminated. And judging from Ximen Sheng's character, he will never sit back and wait for death, allowing others to control the overall situation and completely losing his autonomy.
Therefore, he will most likely jump over the wall in a hurry, or even send troops to attack and forcibly control the pavilion...
After much thought, I have concluded that your place is currently the safest, General Huang Shen, because various forces within Liaodong Town may despise General Huang Shen, but they are not hostile to General Huang Shen, and will not easily doubt General Huang Shen.
, so as long as I hide next to General Huang Shen, I have a great chance of avoiding subsequent searches... In short, I want to temporarily seek General Huang Shen's asylum, but I don't know what General Huang Shen wants?
"
When Zhao Junchen expressed his position, he still smiled and spoke calmly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
However, Huang Shenming had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing Zhao Junchen. He was even more shocked when he heard Zhao Junchen's statement.
Huang Shenming didn't know whether Zhao Junchen's judgment of the situation was correct, but he naturally did not dare to protect Zhao Junchen at this time. If Zhao Junchen's prediction was true, then he would completely offend Ximen Sheng. If Zhao Junchen's prediction was true, If he makes a mistake, he will be regarded as a traitor and variable by all forces in Liaodong Town.
No matter what the situation is, it is harmful rather than beneficial to Huang Shenming.
Therefore, Huang Shenming did not think deeply, and quickly waved his hands and shook his head and said: "This... how can this be done! Isn't your humble position just a mere general? How can you have the qualifications to protect a big shot like Zhao Gechen... General Ximen also It’s impossible to use force on you!
Besides, as a general of Liaodong, I cannot harm the collective interests of Liaodong Town no matter what I do... Of course, I don’t mean that protecting you will harm the collective interests of Liaodong Town, but I don’t dare to do this kind of thing. People make decisions...
What's more, you also know the current situation of Beizhi. Beizhi has no ability to protect you. If you really have concerns, it's best to hide elsewhere..."
After hearing Huang Shenming's repeated rejections, Zhao Junchen's mood stabilized.
Because, in this world, real rejection will not give any reason. Any rejection that lists the reasons and difficulties is nothing more than an external manifestation of the subconscious desire to bargain.
Huang Shenming gave a lot of reasons at this time, and the reasons were nothing more than two points. One was that there was no benefit, and the other was that he had concerns.
In short, it means "you have to pay more".
Zhao Junchen was not dissatisfied with this, but took it for granted that the world has always been utilitarian.
Because of the limited time, Zhao Junchen did not test or deliberately lower the price. Moreover, Zhao Junchen believed that his safety and life were valuable, so he directly showed his greatest sincerity. The most important thing is that Zhao Junchen's greatest sincerity , for him it is not worth mentioning, it is just using his idle resources, but for Huang Shenming, it is completely different.
Zhao Junchen directly raised his hand to interrupt Huang Shenming's words, and said in a calm tone: "If you are willing to protect me with all your strength, I will personally come forward to propose marriage to the Guo family of Wuding Marquis for you! Our face is in the It may not be useful in front of the Guo family, but at least... it will give you a chance!"
"...You came to see me today. I just pretend that I don't know about it, but..." Huang Shenming was trying to refuse Zhao Junchen, but he suddenly paused in the middle of the sentence and finally realized what Zhao Junchen had proposed. What kind of conditions, then his eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and after being speechless for a long time, he asked: "You, what did you just say?"
Zhao Junchen repeated softly: "I am willing to personally come forward to propose marriage to the Wudinghou Guo family for you! As far as I know, Miss Guo San has now become a family scandal of the Wudinghou family. She has suffered all kinds of hardships and pains over the years. You can’t live up to your beauty’s heart, Huang Shen told you, right?”
After Huang Shenming heard what Zhao Junchen said, his dark face turned red, his breathing became more rapid, and his body even started to tremble.
Just a moment later, Huang Shenming quickly made up his mind and said: "It's a deal!"
Zhao Junchen nodded with a smile and said: "It's a deal!"
While speaking, Zhao Junchen looked at Huang Shenming with a somewhat complicated expression!
People are all complicated. Huang Shenming is a man who is rough in behavior and has a cold personality. He also bullies the people in the defense zone and has done countless evil things...but he is still a kindred spirit.
In other words, some people's ruthlessness is not absolutely ruthless, but they only have feelings for a very small number of people, and the rest of them are no different from chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs in their eyes.
Eight years ago, the current Marquis of Wuding, Guo Zhongshun, was ordered to inspect the Liaodong region. Huang Shenming, who was only a Qianhu at the time, was responsible for guarding the whole route under the order of He Yu.
At the same time, when Guo Zhongshun inspected Liaodong, he also brought his beloved and lively granddaughter Miss Guo Si with him.
Then, Miss Guo Si was unwilling to be left alone and took a few people out for fun without authorization. As a result, she happened to meet a group of homeless people who were desperate and decided to make a big move...
Then, after Huang Shenming learned the news, he quickly took action and staged a clichéd plot of "hero saving beauty".
After this incident, Huang Shenming was promoted to Liaodong garrison on the recommendation of Marquis Dingwu. He easily passed the most difficult threshold for military attache promotion. However, Huang Shenming was not happy, and he is still unmarried; as for
Miss Guo Si has since lost her former liveliness and has been tabooed by Wu Dinghou's family. She is also still unmarried.
The story that happened here is enough to write a third-rate novel.
But it is obvious that Huang Shenming has no chance to marry Miss Guo Si, because the Wudinghou family is too high-ranking, even among the elite circles of the Ming Dynasty, it is one of the best... Not to mention that Huang Shenming has now become
After becoming the General of Liaodong, even if one day his ancestral graves smoke and he becomes the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong, the chances are still slim.
You must know that the Guo family of Wudinghou was one of the thirty-six noble families during the founding of the Ming Dynasty. They even survived the multiple purges of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and the subsequent Jingnan campaign. The thirty-six noble families after the founding of the Ming Dynasty were
There are only three noble families that have survived until now, and the Wudinghou family is one of them.
Such a wealthy family is destined not to fall in love with a vulgar general like Huang Shenming.
But now, Zhao Junchen has given Huang Shenming a chance. Although the probability of success of this opportunity is also low, and the Guo family may not sell Zhao Junchen's face, it is enough to make Huang Shenming tempted.
However, Zhao Junchen's complicated mood at this time was not because of "people like Huang Shenming can be a lover", but because it was completely directed at himself.
From the moment Zhao Junchen decided to seek asylum from Huang Shenming, it meant that Zhao Junchen had once again lost the bottom line in his heart!
That is, without harming your own interests and within your own ability, you should try your best to punish evil and promote good, so as to comfort yourself that you still have a little bit of conscience left!
Before that, Zhao Junchen's view of Huang Shenming was based on this bottom line.
Although the various evil deeds committed by the other generals are definitely not less than Huang Shenming, Zhao Junchen did not witness it with his own eyes, so he was out of sight and out of mind. However, since Huang Shenming's evil deeds have been
Zhao Junchen saw it. If Zhao Junchen didn't care at all, then the little bit of conscience Zhao Junchen had left would continue to torment Zhao Junchen.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen has secretly made up his mind that no matter how he deals with the interest military group in Liaodong Town in the future, Huang Shen said that this person must pay a price so that he can be worthy of his promise to the people of Hujiazhuang.
But this bottom line, with the current cooperation between Zhao Junchen and Huang Shenming, will obviously be invalidated!
Zhao Junchen's bottom line is getting smaller and smaller, and it becomes more convenient to do things, which has many benefits.
But only Zhao Junchen himself knew what he had lost.
