Chapter 306: Phoenix Nirvana
"Love is empty and painful, and I will never want love again! All I need is money, power, and a strong beautiful man who can satisfy my desires! Men can only be used as women's playthings, and it is not worth paying love for them! ”
Wu Jue realized, "Love turns out to be poison, and the people you meet are either dead or injured." Love turns out to be poisonous wine, which can only make people's hearts ache. Love is just tears, love is just heartbreak, love is just pain, love only makes people heavy, love only makes people become idiots......" Wu Jue smiled self-deprecatingly, she didn't understand how such a smart woman could fall into love. "What a ridiculous thing this is!"
"From now on, I will never love any man again. Men are just toys and pets that satisfy me, and will no longer be lovers who make me cry in pain, hurt, and tears. ”
Knowing this, it was as if she had gotten rid of all the chains on her body, and she felt extremely relaxed!
"You can be chic without love! You can be happy without love! ”
She suddenly felt strong and happy.
"What does my heart really need?" She carefully dissected her heart, and finally she saw her true needs and desires: "luxurious palaces, gorgeous clothes, precious jewelry, handsome, strong and obedient men, bowed officials, reverent and fearful people......", all this is so clear, all so strong, all so simple, "Happiness, happiness is what I have always longed for, I have always longed for!" ”
And the factors that realize these desires and pleasures are simple - "money, power!" "They are so real, they are so simple, they are so direct, they are so seductive, this is the life she really likes, this is the real thing that can give her a solid sense of security, not the ethereal love of the past.
"Haha, this is what I Wu Meiniang should pursue, this is what my Wu Meiniang is worth pursuing!"
……
Just happened to meet the angel company recruiting the sales manager of the overseas trade branch, Wu Jue, who was beautiful, energetic, energetic, intelligent and generous, quickly stood out among the competitors and successfully applied for the job. She was assigned to the European trading branch as a sales manager.
Wu Jue did not hesitate to "rest" Lan Chunfeng, the "vase man" who had been "abandoned" by her, and resolutely went to distant Europe.
Wu Jue will always remember Lan Chunfeng's expression after hearing that she was going to "rest" him: his mouth was long, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous. He would never have thought that this woman, who had been pursuing him in vain, would "leave" herself.
"Why? Didn't you love me so much before? He asked, surprised.
"Because I used to be dizzy and blind!" Wu Jue didn't say anything more, she didn't bother to say a word to this garbage man, turned around and drifted away, she was now going to pursue her new life.
……
When he arrived in Europe, Wu Jue decided to make money first, make a lot of money, become a rich man first, and then march to "power".
She took the initiative to visit the wealthy businessmen in Europe, and used her glamorous and charming appearance and smart mind to make the European giants and billionaires become her VIP customers, and these rich people gave Wu Jue one astronomical order after another.
The sales manager mainly received bonuses based on the total sales commission, so Wu Jue's bonus income and wealth increased day by day, and he soon became a well-known local rich man in Europe.
In Europe, she felt that her glamorous appearance was simply a super money maker, a cornucopia of infinite potential, but the ethereal vase man in the past had never cherished her. When she arrived in Europe, Wu Jue realized the infinite value of her charm of "smiling and beautifying", and she really regretted not coming to Europe earlier.
After becoming a rich man, she had the opportunity to enter the upper aristocratic circles, and finally seized the opportunity to seduce the young king of England, William I, to fall under her pomegranate skirt, and soon became the queen of England, and a year later, gave birth to a little prince to William I, which further established her status as queen.
Two years after his marriage, William I and Wu Jue were shot and killed in the war with West B.
The army of West B is approaching the city, and the entire British and British countries are in danger of annihilation.
Wu Yu asked the maid's cronies to put their beautiful jade. The body was wrapped in a delicately soft silk quilt and delivered to the great tent of King Philip II of the West B. Philip II was immediately captivated as soon as he saw this glamorous and charming oriental beauty.
For three whole days, Philip II held the sexy and beautiful Wu Jue without taking a big step, and was completely conquered by Wu Jue's glamorous charm.
In the end, he accepted Wu Jue's request. West B withdrew its troops, and Ying Glan avoided annihilation.
However, the additional conditions are: the British Glans must submit to the West B, and a large number of tributes must be paid regularly every year, and every year the Queen of the British Glan, Wu Jue, will regularly accompany the King of the West B, Philip II, for a month.
Wu Jue agreed to everything, Ying Gelan's national strength is weak now, and she is not the opponent of the powerful West B, so she can only endure it for the time being. However, she has been quietly growing Ying Glan, hoping to revenge one day.
At this time, Wu Jue met an important man in her life: Drake.
Drake's full name is Francis Drake, born into a poor peasant family in Landwynshire, England, and worked his way up from apprentice to sailor and eventually to merchant captain.
Drake and his cousin, John Hawkins, led five slave ships to Mexico, where they sought assistance from the fleet of the West B, the European maritime overlord at the time, as they were hit by a storm. But the West Tooth ignored their pleas and deceived them, nearly costing Drake his life. From then on, he vowed to take revenge on West B Tooth for the rest of his life.
Later, Drake gathered a group of men to rob the West B mule team transporting gold in the South American jungle, and then took down several West B horse galleons, and finally successfully returned to England.
Drake thus gained the favor of Wu Jue, who personally boarded his ship and awarded him the title of "Knight". Wu Jue is now in dire need of such a warrior to defeat Xi Bya, and he will be ashamed.
Drake gave Wu Jue the idea to organize people to pretend to be pirates to rob the merchant ships of West B, gradually weakening West B's overseas interests and increasing its burden.
Wu readily accepted, and appointed Drake with full responsibility for the implementation of piracy tactics. Drake's pirate tactics forced West B to equip a large fleet to protect West B's merchant fleet across the oceans, which greatly increased its financial burden.
Wu Jue also accepted Drake's suggestion to completely overturn the previous shipbuilding model that imitated the West B Tooth giant ship, and designed a completely new warship. The new warships designed by Drake, Hawkins and others are also known as "fast ships". Compared with the giant ships, the fast ship model is much smaller, narrow and long, the ship has a low side, and the front building is completely canceled and the rear building is reduced, so that the center of gravity of the battleship is greatly reduced, and it can be equipped with large-caliber heavy guns without affecting the stability of the hull. Clippers have high speed and good agility, but they have low sides and are sure to lose if they are picked up by the enemy. However, the clipper bet is on the word "fast", if it is caught by the West B tooth giant, of course it is not an opponent, but if it can't be caught, then the clipper will have a dozen. And the firepower of the fast ship surpassed that of the West B Tooth giant ship. If the West Tooth giant is an elephant, then the British express ship is a ferocious tiger and leopard.
At this time, countries in Europe, such as Britain and Ireland, West B, and Portugal, began to imitate Datang's firearms, including artillery, although they used improved black medicine, which was not as powerful as T En, Black Suo Jin, etc.; Although the artillery and muskets have not yet been rifled, and most of them are relatively backward front-loading types, they are also sufficient in the naval battles for hegemony in Europe.
Although the performance of British warships was not as good as that of the West B, it was improved by Drake and Hodkins, with small hulls, high speed, strong maneuverability, and a large number of guns and long range. This kind of battleship can not only dodge the bombardment of heavy shells with a short range of the West B, but also can fire at the enemy ship at a long distance, and win with artillery superiority.
Two years later, everything was ready, and in order to compete for supremacy at sea and to avenge her shame, Wu Jue decided to launch an open challenge to her old enemy, Xi Bya.
Thus, a world-renowned and fierce naval battle broke out in the English Channel.
In this naval battle, the West B was powerful, with advanced weapons, huge power of warships, and more than 30,000 troops, known as "the most powerful invincible armada". At that time, the scale of the British and British army was not large, and the entire fleet had only 9,000 combat personnel, so Wu Jue appointed Lord Howard as the commander of the fleet, and Drake and Hawkins as the chief and deputy commanders. Compared with the two armies, there is a huge disparity in numbers, and the West B has a clear absolute advantage. However, unexpectedly, the outcome of this naval battle ended in a devastating defeat for the West B, and the "Invincible Armada" was almost completely annihilated. Since then, the West has declined sharply, and the position of Europe's "maritime hegemon" has been replaced by the British and Glan.
Wu Jue also established her high status and prestige in Yinggeran. Drake played a crucial role in the battle in which the British Glang defeated the West B-Tooth Armada, and after the war, Drake was also named Lord of the British Glan.
Drake then became Wu Jue's most trusted confidant and right-hand man.
Wu Jue is very accurate, and Drake is also very loyal to Wu Jue, and has made great contributions to Wu Jue's struggle to reach the pinnacle of power in Britain and Glan. Unfortunately, Drake was later killed in the war against France.
Wu Jue is an intelligent woman who pursues pleasure but does not indulge in pleasure.
She knows very well that self-disciplined people will be more beautiful, healthier and more successful, and self-disciplined people can obtain longer happiness. People should not indulge excessively, because that is not good for health and will delay the right thing. Therefore, the selection of male pets has always adhered to the strict standard of preferring shortage to indiscriminate, with a maximum limit of 5 people. Because she has a lot of government affairs to deal with, she can't learn from Princess Sanyin to eat, drink, and have fun all day long, not do business, and raise more than 30 male pets.
After Wu Jue became the queen of Ying, she didn't like to read, and she forced herself to read more, especially books about history. The history books made her deeply understand that reason and self-control are the protectors of long-term pleasure, so as she matures, she becomes more rational and self-disciplined: for example, the premise of her and her male pets' pleasure is that it must not delay and affect the right thing; For example, she insisted on maintaining good diplomatic relations with Datang; For example, she humbly learned from Datang and carried out a series of reforms in Ying-G-Lan, so that Ying-G-Lan became the number one power in Europe under her leadership.
Wu Jue often has some whimsical ideas, such as: Wu Jue felt that it was too cruel to use "leather whips and boards" to make mistakes, so she ingeniously invented a "humane" punishment to punish the wrong palace maids - let the sheep lick the soles of the feet of the wrong palace maids.
Imagine if the tongue of the sheep keeps licking the soles of your feet and smearing them with honey or salt water, will the erring court maid be able to endure this punishment of "pain and pleasure"? If it is too long, it can lead to a lack of oxygen to the brain and suffocation. Under the control of the executioners, the palace maid who made a mistake can really be said to be in a state of not being able to survive and not to die.
Wu Jue always pays the most attention to "power and money", because she knows that "power and money" are the basis of all enjoyment.
