Chapter 247: Power and Conspiracy
The five of them chatted and ate for a while, and before they knew it, the moon in the night sky was already hanging high. Moonlight filtered in through the window, mixing and drowning in the light of the small living room.
"Sun Wukong dared to erect the flag of the Monkey King on Huaguo Mountain, but it was not entirely a mischievous outlet under the impulse of being deceived and humiliated.
In fact, in the entire "Journey to the West", the only separatist force in the world that can still compete with Huaguo Mountain is the Lion Camel Ridge that their master and apprentice encountered when they later embarked on the road to learn the scriptures.
Before Sun Wukong fought with Heavenly Court, Huaguo Mountain's military ability was very strong. It can be said that in the heyday, there were as many as 47,000 monkey soldiers and monkey generals in Huaguo Mountain alone, and after two hundred years of daily drills, the combat effectiveness can be seen.
Although there is still a gap between the strength of the regular army of Heavenly Court, it can still have the strength to fight. Again, there are seventy-two cave demon kings, how can each demon king say that there are also three or five hundred little demons, plus more than 48,000 monkey soldiers and monkey generals, the army size of Huaguo Mountain is still 80,000 or 90,000 people.
In addition, Sun Wukong also worshiped the Bull Demon King, Jiao Demon King, Peng Demon King, Lion Camel King, Macaque King, and Yu Tamarin King as seven brothers.
The Jade Emperor directly sent 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to come, not just to capture Sun Monkey, but to sweep away this separatist force that threatens the heavenly court in one fell swoop. ”
Jia Youbin was very interested, and he also drank a lot of red wine. He didn't need to sit on the cold bench like in the past, actively speak, and express his personal understanding of some of the details in "Journey to the West".
"Since Sun Wukong has such strong military ability, why is he still vulnerable in front of the heavenly soldiers?" Jia Qianqian once again took the initiative to raise the question in his heart about "Journey to the West".
"To put it nicely, although there is a gap in strength between the two sides, the most important thing is that Sun Wukong has made some serious mistakes in commanding operations. To put it bluntly, he won't fight, he will only fight. Fighting and fighting are not the same thing, they are completely two different things, and they cannot be confused at all.
To put it mildly, the monkey is a monkey, and a monkey is a monkey, and it is still a monkey when it is clothed. No matter how powerful he is, he is still a monkey. Where can he fight against the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, and the immortals?
In order to exterminate the forces of Huaguo Mountain, the Jade Emperor also spent a lot of time. The immortals just don't work hard, and the yang and yin are dealing with him.
I went one by one, and I couldn't fight a few rounds, so I released the water and deliberately defeated it, and the high-sounding reason was that I did my best, but I couldn't beat it, and the monkey was so powerful.
The Jade Emperor knew that they were unreliable, so he could only call Erlang God. Even if the other party is a hidden pain of herself, the girl who did the rebellious and ugly thing back then, can only be cheeky and let the other party come to help her.
If he can't even control the power of Sun Monkey, he will weaken his prestige, and even show jokes to the immortals, and follow their wishes, so that they will have greater initiative and bargaining chips on the issue of the redistribution of the peach.
The biggest advantage of exterminating Sun Monkey is that it knocks on the mountain and shocks the tiger, so that all the immortals can understand that Lao Tzu can still get things done without you. If any of you try again, you will be the next monkey.
The second is to improve the status and merits of Erlang God, and the fertile water will not flow into the fields of outsiders. At critical moments, it is still reliable for his own family.
100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals surrounded Huaguo Mountain, and Erlang God personally led his own men, Kang, Zhang, Yao, Li Si Taiwei, Guo Shen, Zhijian two generals, he married Jinlan's six Meishan brothers, and 1,200 grass head gods into the battle. Jia Youwei not only personally solved his daughter's confusion, but also expressed his own perception.
He paused for a moment, then added: "It also proves once again that the following opponents have resisted each other, and the failures are all extremely high. Since "Journey to the West" is a satire on the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, when reading this book, you must look at and analyze it from the perspective of officialdom, which can always give you different feelings and understandings, so as to truly understand its essence.
In fact, Sun Monkey didn't know that he was a chess piece that the Jade Emperor and the immortals were playing around the peach, that is, the most practical interests.
He was not only calculated by the Jade Emperor, but also by the immortals. The top and bottom are not satisfied with the peach distribution mechanism, so the two sides coincidentally reached a request to reshuffle the cards and re-distribute benefits.
This has to find a reason that is not too high-sounding, but reasonable in all aspects, so that the change can be carried out. The purpose of redistribution is nothing more than to satisfy all parties in the best possible state.
In fact, everyone knows that this is absolutely impossible. If you eat more, it means that you will eat less, after all, the yield of peaches is a given, and it will not be more for no reason, but only a purposeful reduction.
If you want to eat more and occupy more, you have to rely on your strength. For this reason, you can only play a game of all parties, so as to achieve a balance between you and me. Power and intrigue unfold between them.
Of course, the tragedy of Sun Monkey does not stop there. He was even a pawn in the hands of the Buddha to enter the Taoism. In other words, to strengthen the connection between Rulai and the Jade Emperor, to reach a tacit understanding, consensus, and even the bond of alliance.
The original work has clear text, and when it appears, it is not the Buddha, but the Buddha. The time period is 500 years before Sun Wukong embarked on the road of learning scriptures.
Not only did the Jade Emperor have disagreements and contradictions with the immortals, but Rulai also had his own headaches, which was the game between him and the Bodhisattvas.
The purpose of Rulai is very clear, not only to get the Bodhisattvas to recognize himself as the Buddha of the West and respect him as the boss, but also to think of beating rabbits with grass and killing chickens and monkeys to clean up some Bodhisattva separatist forces that do not obey him. To this end, he also needs to support the political forces and allies that he can achieve his ideals. At the very least, don't mess with him, or take the opportunity to stab him in the back again.
The most typical one is Lion Camel Ridge. Lion Camel Ridge, also known as Lion Camel Mountain and Eight Hundred Miles Lion Camel Ridge, is occupied by two green lions and white elephants, and Dapeng occupies the Lion Camel Country, which is the horns of each other and works together. There are 47,800 little demons under the Three Demon Kings, which is the force with the largest number of demons in the original Journey to the West. This is located on the territory of the Western world, and it is also in the sphere of influence of Rulai. ”
