No. 225 Taoguang Yanghui
It can be said that Lu Jing's situation is that he has a strong enemy in the distance, a feud in the near future, a memory of troubles, and a lack of work.
He is only eighteen years old, he has no credit for it, and his subordinates are all veterans, what must he do to convince these veterans.
However, when his father died, Lu Jing only cried for a while, and then wiped away his tears.
Although, what he inherited was a hot potato.
At the age of eighteen, he took over the secession regime left by his father, which seemed to be extremely glamorous, but in fact, he was sitting on a powder keg, and if he was not careful, this powder keg could explode, and the shaking of the earth brought about by his father's death could become a landslide.
However, he was still determined to get out of the predicament and get through the crisis.
Fortunately, at this time, he had Nangua and Baisha by his side, these two people, like two optimus pillars, helped him hold up this piece of heaven.
Nangua said very clearly to Lu Jing that the situation around them was very critical, because there were jackals, tigers and leopards all around them.
Nangua led all his subordinates to set up Lu Jing as the master, while Baisha rushed back to Yunjiang from other places and stayed by Lu Jing's side to help Lu Jing from then on.
It's just that Lu Jing's identity at that time was only a general, not a monarch, so the etiquette of all the guests to Lu Jing at that time was relatively simple, just the etiquette of subordinates to superiors.
At this time, it was Bai Sha who took the lead in performing the courtier ceremony, taking the lead in treating Lu Jing as a monarch and being a courtier himself, supporting Lu Jing in this way.
Because, the Lu State regime, like the Ziguo regime, is also composed of three forces, the first force is the people left by Lu Jing's father, they developed in the west of Yunjiang, and then were brought to the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River by Lu Jing's father, and their representative figure is Baisha.
And the second kind of force is the people who come here from the north to take refuge and take refuge in social turmoil, and when the north is in turmoil, some of the northern scholars run south, some go to Haicheng, and some go to the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River, and their representative figure is the southern hexagram.
The third force is the family of Yunjiang. There are four major families in Yunjiang, they are Yu, Wei, Gu, and Sun.
Of these three forces, the first represents the army, the second is the literati, and the third represents money.
For a regime to be stable, these three forces are indispensable.
And Lu Jing was just a child at this time, Bai Sha took the lead in supporting him, Lu Jing got the army, and the matter was half done.
Nangua took the lead in supporting Lu Jing, which means that the exiles are likely to support Lu Jing.
Only, there is one last force.
After all, the regime established by Lu Jing was established in the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River, and if it did not have the support of the locals, it would eventually perish.
Just like Ziguo, the reason why they will perish is because the locals of Toyosu have always held a skeptical, resistant, and uncooperative attitude.
It is very necessary for Lu Jing to gain a firm foothold in the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River and get the support of the locals in the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River.
And Baisha also recommended someone to Lu Jing, this person is Zhuang Wu.
Zhuang Wu is a native of the west of Yunjiang, and he has a connection with the first force, and he is also in exile, relying on the scholars of the powerful Baisha, and the second force, Zhuang Wu does not like Liu Yuan, and in terms of political position, he has a connection with the third force.
When Zhuang Wu defected to Lu Jing, Lu Jing was very difficult, and when Zhuang Wu arrived in the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River, he did not defect to Lu Jing, he defected to Baisha.
Zhuang Wu did not defect to Lu Jing, which means that the exiles are not very optimistic about Lu Jing, and they have a wait-and-see attitude towards this.
At this time, Zhuang Wu defected to Lu Jing.
For others, it's also an encouragement.
After following Lu Jing, Zhuang Wu also suggested that Lu Jing establish the country and become the emperor.
After Zhuang Wu followed Lu Jing, he assumed a military position.
At that time, under Lu Jing, the military generals were mainly Baisha, mainly the original people in the west of Yunjiang, while the Wen generals were mainly Nangua, mainly exiled soldiers.
The arrival of Zhuang Wu made these two forces begin to merge.
More importantly, since exiled warriors like Zhuang Wu can work with military generals mainly from the west of the Yunjiang River, this means that the local scholars in the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River can also serve as military or civilian positions in the future.
This gives rise to a tendency for the three forces to converge.
Compared with Ziyang, Lu Jing is much luckier.
However, these cannot be said to be luck, because a person's luck is also accumulated by one's own ability.
You're not capable enough, and not that many people can notice you.
If you are not capable enough, you can't keep this luck, good luck, it may turn into bad luck.
The world is in turmoil, it is the time for a manly man to make a contribution, at this time, not only the king is selecting talents, but also the people are choosing the king.
The fact that so many people can choose Lu Jing also shows that Lu Jing is a person worth choosing.
Lu Jing has the qualities of a leader, is a great figure, and deserves to be taken advantage of.
Less than a year after Hu Yun became emperor, Ziyun also became emperor, and at this time, Lu Jing did not choose to be emperor.
After a few years, many people persuaded Lu Jing to be emperor, but Lu Jing still did not become emperor.
The reason why he didn't claim the title of emperor for the first time was because Hu Yun called, and Ziguo was eyeing him, so Lu Jing chose to swallow his anger.
And the second time he didn't call himself the emperor, it was because he turned his face with Ziguo, and the second time, he turned his face with Ziguo and Hu Guo, so he naturally didn't dare to be called emperor.
It is actually very dangerous to be sandwiched between the two families, but if he wants to be the emperor, it is impossible not to turn his face with them, but Lu Jing chose a way, that is, to turn his face and not turn his face.
Lu Jing is actually very similar to Gou Jian.
He calmed down, if Lu Jing's father was daring, then Lu Jing's characteristic was that he never sent troops easily, he liked to find other people's loopholes, so basically Lu Jing would not lose the battle, even if he couldn't win, he would have to draw.
In fact, the previous alliance between Ziyang and Lu Jing was facilitated by Lu Jing, when Ziyang was in a very difficult situation, he was the weakest, and it was Lu Jing who had the final say.
Before Bai Sha persuaded him, he already had an opinion.
It's just that this matter must not be raised by him, so Lu Jing advocated many meetings, and at that time, many people persuaded him to surrender, and he opened it again and again, all of which were to let him surrender.
It wasn't until Baisha came to persuade Lu Jing and Ziyang to ally that Lu Jing agreed.
Because, he wanted to do it for a long time.
Although he is the leader, the general must do what he is ordered to do willingly.
He is not afraid of many opinions, he likes everyone to express their opinions, in the face of major rights and wrongs, everyone has expressed their opinions, and he knows these people in his heart.
He is not afraid of a long time and can calm down, so when Hu Yun and Ziyang were emperors, he was unmoved.
Because, he knew that with his current strength, he needed to cultivate and develop his strength, and then wait for the opportunity.
However, at that time, Hu Guo was eyeing them, and Ziguo also had bad intentions, and it was not enough to just calm down.
