Chapter 1213: Final Meeting
When the other party was forty years old, he was still a businessman, but when he was forty-one, he was affected by the death of Huang Tiandao.
However, in fact, as early as a year ago, he saw that Huang Tiandao was about to fall, and ran away in advance. But how can there be a pure land in this world? !
Huang Tiandao's fall caused a chain reaction that affected the entire Wang family. In the end, only Wang Jiran and thirteen of his cronies escaped with their lives.
For a man in his forties, half of his body was buried in this age, and all his family members were dead. Only he and thirteen servants survived. No one thought that such a man could survive. What can be done.
But the reality is that after escaping, Wang Jiran dug out the gold buried by the Wang family's ancestors and went to recruit troops. Among his thirteen servants, two famous generals emerged in later generations, one named Wang Meng and the other His name is Wang Qi.
These two people were given the Wang surname by Wang Jiran. After they escaped, they were adopted as adopted sons and entered the Wang family tree.
In just one year, in the name of crusade against Huang Tiandao, Wang Jiran recruited troops and directly raised a team of more than a thousand people.
A few years later, Huang Tiandao was completely defeated, and Wang Jiran had tens of thousands of troops.
Later, at its peak, the other party even occupied half of the state.
There are twelve states in the world, which is already twenty-fourths of the territory.
Indeed, it seems, this number is not much.
But compared to other powerful men, this achievement is extremely difficult.
Other tycoons across states and counties have accumulated their wealth from their ancestors. They have worked hard in one place for hundreds or thousands of years, and the wealth and talents they have accumulated are incalculable.
And Wang Jiran, a businessman, had nothing but a little extravagant wealth.
In troubled times, there are many people who are ten times or a hundred times richer than the other party, but no one has this achievement.
However, after occupying half of the state, the disadvantage of the opponent's unstable foundation also appeared. A businessman, even if he occupied half of the state, would not be able to attract talents.
Talents are all proud, so how can they serve a mere businessman? !
It would be fine if he occupied not half the state, but half the world. At the beginning, the disadvantage of status would be continuously magnified.
If you are a descendant of the royal family, you will naturally be looked down upon by others. If you were once a beggar, a businessman, and a mud-legged person, even if you are a strong soldier, it will be difficult for others to look down upon you.
In addition, Wang Jiran's age is also a huge disadvantage. At such an old age, what if the master dies just after he surrenders? !
Even with so many disadvantages, Wang Jiran was still able to make great achievements, which shows how powerful he is.
Of course, Liu Guangzheng was deeply impressed by the other party. In addition to the other party's powerful methods and being called Cao Zheng's number one counselor, and the fact that he had been tortured by the other party, the most important thing was that the other party wrote an article about himself on his sixtieth birthday. life, and articles showing loyalty.
The content of it is roughly that I, Wang Jiran, was originally just a businessman. I thought that I could spend my life in peace, which was enough. But I didn't expect that unexpected events would happen. Because of the Huangtian Rebellion, my family was ruined. When my youngest daughter died, I was even... At the age of sixteen, my family members died, which made me very sad. At the same time, I longed even more for a wise master who could end this troubled world...
In short, he first told his origin in detail, where he came from, why he started the army, and finally met the Ming Lord he had always longed for.
As for who the Ming Lord is, it is naturally Cao Zheng.
This is completely an article designed to flatter you and show your loyalty.
When Liu Guangzheng read it in his previous life, he gritted his teeth and was disgusted, but he didn't expect that it would become a key clue in this life.
However, Liu Guangzheng couldn't help but think that the other party seemed to have finally awakened after his entire family was killed, and transformed from a businessman into the cunning, vicious and vicious king thief in his previous life.
As for the period when he was doing business, although he made some achievements, he was too petty in the end. In his heart, he only had a glimpse of the land in front of him, not the world.
Although the two people are the same person, there is a huge difference without a key experience.
There have been too many such things in history. Many big figures were somewhat uneducated when they were young, but after experiencing a key turning point, they seemed to have enlightened themselves, and the whole pattern was completely different.
The biggest change here is not intelligence, but a change in vision.
Although Liu Guangzheng was thinking in his heart at this moment, if Shixian County was not Huang Tiandao's territory, otherwise he would have been captured by now, but in fact, he knew very well that without that heartbreaking heartache, and without the later generations raising troops, until he occupied half of the The land of Zhou has gone through all kinds of ups and downs, snow and rain, and the other party is just a small businessman.
The potential is certainly there, but it cannot be realized.
Not only Wang Jiran, but also many famous ministers and generals in later generations. Except for a few, they have already shown their talents as soon as they were born. Most of them have gradually sharpened their talents through training.
"Actually, it's not just Wang Jiran who is the thief, why am I not the same?!"
"If I had just been reborn when I was kidnapped by the Emperor and the princes, I am afraid that I would not have the determination and determination that I have now. My current scheming would only be to think that as long as I killed those rebel traitors in advance, I would be the first to do it. If you are strong, call all those famous ministers and generals to serve as officials in the imperial court, so that the world will be peaceful and the country will be stable..."
"But unfortunately, chaos is the general trend. Without Cao Zheng, there may not be Zhang Zheng, Li Zheng... If you want to stabilize the country, you can only reduce the power of the world to supplement the imperial power. Superstitious history and superstitious heroes in history are just the way to death..."
"If you don't reduce the power of the people, you can't kill all the heroes or subdue them all."
Looking at the candlelight on the table, Liu Guangzheng's eyes became deeper.
He clearly remembered that he thought so when he just ascended the throne again, but the subsequent years told him that the world is not made by one person, nor does it fall because of one person.
Once you have the idea of who can get the world, you are not far from defeat.
...
More than ten days later, a group of carriages and horses finally arrived in Zhaocheng.
The long life of carriages and horses is undoubtedly tiring, but for Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xiang, they have experienced more difficult days, so this little journey of fatigue is nothing.
In the car, looking at the towering city, even though so much time had passed, the two still felt like they were dreaming. The past ten days were like a long dream.
When they got off the car, they were even more unsteady, as if the world was shaking.
After another half a day, until it was completely dark, the two finally saw Huang Tiandao.
