Dimensional Invasion of the Real Earth

1799, Sun Quan

Don't think that Chen Shou's contempt for Sun Quan is just an individual.

During the Three Kingdoms period, although the term "scholar-official class" did not appear grandly on the stage of history, the scholar-official class was real. They belonged to countless aristocratic families, large and small.

Chen Shou's attitude, to a certain extent, represents the attitude of the 'scholar-official class' throughout the Three Kingdoms era.

Their mentality is no different from that of ordinary people. They would think that Sun Quan was already very awesome just because he inherited the Soochow Group founded by Sun Jian and Sun Ce.

They are extremely arrogant in their hearts, and they always think that they can do it even if they are sitting in Sun Quan's position.

But they never denied that if the positions of Cao Cao and Liu Bei were replaced by them, they would have nothing but a foreign mentality, so they had to be convinced.

This is not just the entrepreneur's ability and degree of control over military power.

This is the common denominator of almost the entire Three Kingdoms era elites.

They have a bright master to serve them, but the 'brilliant master' must let them see the 'charm' that they don't have, otherwise, leaving with a seal is by no means an empty talk.

Don't think that the mentality of the disciples from large and small aristocratic families under Sun Quan is very different from Chen Shou.

Historically, in the Battle of Chibi, if Sun Quan, the lord of Soochow, had been replaced by Sun Jian or Sun Ce, would the ministers really dare to say something like surrender to Cao Cao?

Even if Sun Quan was persuaded by the warring faction and cut off a corner of his eucalyptus with his sword to show his authority, would those ministers who were surrendering be really honest in private?

If it were Sun Ce, these people would most likely be dead, right?

Their reaction means that deep down in their hearts, they really don't think too highly of Sun Quan's authority as the Lord of Soochow.

After the Battle of Chibi, Soochow Wu and Shu Han won. What were the consequences?

Didn't Sun Quan start to reject Zhou Yu intentionally or unintentionally under the instigation of these people? So much so that it forced Zhou Yu to die in depression in history!

After taking over the military power of the Soochow Army from Zhou Yu, could Sun Quan really have the same authority in the army as Sun Jian and Sun Ce?

It just looks beautiful on the surface, but isn't there a turbulent undercurrent in private?

Could Sun Quan really be able to control this Soochow army like this?

Anyone with a little bit of brains understands this.

The authority in the army has always been based on the military merits of the founder, and it has never changed since ancient times.

How much recognition do the civil servants such as Zhang Zhao of Soochow have for Sun Quan in their hearts?

There is a high probability that they will think that the reason why Soochow can inherit Jiangdong Industrial Group is their undeniable contribution, right?

The size of his power determines that Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty must be very cautious in any decision he makes, and it is impossible to make a decision in one fell swoop like Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

When you need to communicate and consult other people's opinions, you will inevitably be affected by other people's suggestions, and your authority will be lost unconsciously.

Fortunately, Sun Quan seems to be very self-aware now.

He knew very well that it was impossible for the Soochow Group he controlled to have its own foundation in the world like Cao Cao;

It is impossible to be like Liu Bei, who can really risk everything to start another business.

He has no experience in this area.

His first priority is how to make further progress while stabilizing his Soochow Group.

Even though he knew very well that this was not in line with his ambitions, he still needed to exercise restraint.

It's like if he gets benefits, he must think about sharing some, or even most, of these benefits with his civil servants and generals.

Because only in this way can all the elites of the entire Soochow Group not betray Soochow and sail on this same ship towards the promising future.

Such concerns made Soochow Sun Quan dare not take a real gamble. They, who wanted stability, told themselves that progress required one step at a time, but they had already lost the possibility of leapfrog progress.

Why did Cao Mengde send Cao Pi back to the Mythical Three Kingdoms and play the role himself?

Not that Cao Cao knew very well that even if his son was very smart, he lacked some experience and there was almost no possibility of making up for it.

Why are there so many amazing figures of an era in history, but it is often difficult to leave a name for their children and grandchildren in history books?

Historically, the reason why Cao Pi agreed with Chen Qun's "nine-grade Zhongzheng system" mentioned above was, to a certain extent, not because of Cao Pi's compromise with the countless aristocratic families under Cao Wei's account?

But what does such a compromise get in exchange?

The aristocratic family will not thank the Cao family at all for this. They will only think that this is what they got through their own efforts and what they deserve.

The implementation of the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System also offended all groups under the aristocratic families, from small aristocratic families to poor families to the lowest common people. They all felt inner anger towards Cao Wei.

Because it limits the upper limit of the middle level and tells you that there are some levels that you cannot achieve no matter what. In their hearts, the feeling of "Princes and Generals will be happy" began to form at the moment when the Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System was implemented. , has been exterminated.

The middle level is often the only level in the entire structure that can connect the previous and the next. Once they decay, all the foundations will also decay.

When they didn't care about Cao Wei's life and death, when the Sima family became very ambitious, they chose to watch indifferently, and even had a lot of expectations in their hearts, hoping that a change of 'emperor' could break this stagnant water.

The middle class is like this, and the bottom class can only despair.

The emergence of the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system has even extinguished the only hope. Among the people who have no way to rise, which one will really work for your Cao family?

It can be said that in history, from the moment Cao Pi compromised with the family, the future of Cao Wei's downfall was already doomed.

Historically, Cao Pi thought that because of this compromise, he had finally ousted Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty from the throne. Little did he know that fate had already marked the price for a certain amount of gains, and they must be repaid.

He felt comfortable, thinking that he could truly inherit the great cause established by Cao Mengde, but little did he know that the second generation would still be the second generation.

From the moment he sat on the emperor's throne, from the moment he left the front line, the army he thought he was in control of had actually gradually escaped his control.

Cao Pi's situation in history was also the same as that of Sun Quan.

In history, Sun Quan also thought about struggling. For example, he led the army in the Northern Expedition and left in a mighty manner, but he was directly taught a lesson by Zhang Liao.

As a result, he no longer struggled and knew that he was not the material at all.

He clarified his position, what he should do, and how the benefits of the entire Soochow Group should be distributed, so that he could sail the big ship of the Soochow Group farther.

How similar is the Sun Quan in front of us to the Sun Quan in history?

He clung to the city, and whenever he got the corpses of monsters, he couldn't wait to transport more than half of them back to his backyard. It seemed that if he didn't do this, he would lose support if he wanted to gain a foothold in the world in the future.

Compared with him, Liu Bei is the opposite. Whatever he gets, he is willing to let the soldiers he brought with him eat it, as long as the effect of doing so is to make the most direct troops he brought with him reach a higher level. , he had nothing to dislike.

He was not even afraid that he would lose the support of the civil servants and generals in the rear of Shu Han because of this.

His authority was established step by step, so what if there were some complaints?

He can eliminate it with just one sentence, such as: We are here to show you the effect. The effect is so obvious right now. You have to keep up. If you can't keep up, it is none of our business if you are eliminated in the future. .

When the same words were spoken by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, the reactions of the civil servants and generals below were completely different.

Just like when the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty faced Zhu Yuanzhang, each of them was like a quail, wishing to lower his head to his crotch.

It's the same Ming Empire, but it's Chongzhen. Shui Tailiang, who was in the court of the Ming Empire, never dared to spit on Zhu Youjian's face.

Sun Quan was already one of the best, and even left a sentence: Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou.

As bystanders, Liu Hao and Fang Yun did not have any contempt for Sun Quan.

They know better that this is not the best solution for the Soochow Group represented by Sun Quan.

Already in the world of the Three Kingdoms, it has shrunk to one region. Regardless of space or population, it is actually just that little. To put it bluntly, the strength of the Soochow Group is not enough at all, and it is just a prince.

If the entire Soochow Group unites to take a gamble on the possible leapfrog development in the future, what is left for them is likely to be a failure and completely fall into the endless abyss in an instant.

At that time, even if Cao Mengde does not want to annex Soochow, the interest groups of Soochow's original aristocratic families will be the first to find them, kneel on the ground, and pray for Cao Wei's inclusion.

They won't hesitate at all, and they won't feel any guilt at all.

As for the Sun family of Soochow at that time, Cao Wei didn't even need to say anything. There was a high probability that these people's heads would have been chopped off by these aristocratic families and presented with both hands.

Sun Quan himself also understood that he only had so many chips and could not afford to gamble. Unlike Liu Bei, he could still insist that he was the continuation of the Han Empire. Even if he really lost the bet in the future, the worst he could do was to surrender to the heavens. It’s just the Han Empire that is coming to the world.

Liu Bei has such a thick skin. Even if he surrenders, outsiders can't say anything. Isn't that what he always insists?

This seems reasonable, right?

Therefore, in the eyes of Liu Hao and Fang Yun, Sun Quan's choice seems unambitious, but it is also the most appropriate.

They could see through the Soochow Group's luck at a glance, just a little bit, and they really couldn't afford to bet and they didn't dare to bet.

This is also the real reason why Fang Yun guessed at just one glance that Sun Quan had determined to find a relationship with Zhou Yu.

He also thought that Zhou Yu would choose to help Sun Ce for the sake of Sun Ce. Of course, it might be the last one.

Nowadays, Zhou Yu has completely surrendered to Xiao Long'er, but he has truly gained Xiao Long'er's complete trust. The command of the armies, large and small, is in Zhou Yu's hands.

To put it bluntly, if Zhou Yu really wants to do something in the entire east of the Atlantic Ocean, there are very few people who can stop him.

It's just an instruction, let the big monsters in the sea below give some face and don't make it too difficult for the ships coming and going from the Soochow Group. How can these big monsters in the sea fight against this little benefit? ?

It can be said that in the future, the development of Soochow Group's shipping industry in the entire eastern Pacific Ocean is almost inevitable.

How many orders can be obtained from it depends on Sun Quan Group's own efforts.

Operating such an industry, even if it only occupies a partial proportion in it, is enough for the small Soochow Group to make a lot of profits.

But at the same time, these will inevitably impose many restrictions on Soochow Group;

They only have so much population, and they only have so much land and living space. The huge amount of energy they invest here will inevitably make their investment in other areas sparse, such as the future abyss battlefield.

No matter whether a person or a country, they all have destiny. Consolidating one's own destiny is one aspect, and improving one's own destiny is also another aspect. Both are indispensable.

Who doesn’t know the principle of sailing against the current and retreating if you don’t advance?

In the future, when the Soochow Group continues to stand still, and the fortunes of Cao Wei and Shu Han continue to improve, who can ensure that other changes will not occur in the mythical Three Kingdoms world?

The future can always be changed. If you can't do it, it's just because you don't have enough strength.

Just like one day in the future, when the fortune of the Cao Wei Group represented by Cao Cao is enough to resist the will of heaven from the mythical Three Kingdoms world, will he still not dare to unify the Three Kingdoms?

At that time, Cao Mengde did not hesitate at all. This man had never ascended the throne of emperor, but in history, Cao Mengde was always called "Wei Wu Cao Cao", which already explained everything.

Therefore, it can only be said that Sun Quan has chosen the most correct path now, but it cannot be said that this choice will definitely be correct in the future. It is very likely that this choice will be mentioned again and again by countless people in the future, saying what Sun Quan Luck does not last long enough.

Of course, it cannot be said that Sun Quan has chosen this path now and will be restricted to walking on this path in the future. Opportunities can also be fought for, no matter how big or small they are.

However, even if they are obsessed with Liu Hao and Fang Yun, they know that Sun Quan's choice is the most correct today. In their hearts, they still think highly of Sun Quan compared to Liu Bei.

It can only be said that every entrepreneur has a decisive charm that the established ones lack.

They were also defending the city. It seemed that both Liu Bei and Sun Quan could only be suppressed by countless monsters in many cities, but the situation was never the same.

This difference can be clearly seen if you look carefully, which is the legendary ‘morale’.
