Chapter 386 The old father finally accepts the reality
In terms of connections and influence, the Li family has its own strong advantages in Nanyang for many years. Even the Wu family, which has been operating in Nanyang for more than 300 years, cannot compare with it.
Of course, this is also related to the style pursued by the Wu family.
When the Wu family was still the Zheng family, Emperor Yongli gave him the official position of commander of the Jinyi Guards. Although it was only in name, it opened a mysterious door for the ancestors of the Wu family, and began to learn how to make plans, and in the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Kangjin
After his great cause finally failed, he completely changed his name and surname to hide his true identity.
However, compared with the Li family, Wu Jiasheng has his own territory and is in a royal country. He can have the privilege to run his own small kingdom legitimately. However, no matter how high the Li family is in the Lion City, the land in the Lion City is not their home.
It is privately owned, not to mention that Sanlikun is nearly fifty times larger than the Lion City in terms of area, and it has an industrial base like Silk Harbor, so its fundamentals are even better than the Lion City.
Besides the fact that the Li family’s territory is too small, the biggest reason for the weakness of the Li family is that they are well versed in not putting their eggs in the same basket. Therefore, in the Nanyang region, especially among the various chaebol groups headed by Lion City and Malaysia,
They are all mixed in and have varying amounts of shares.
This seems to be very even, and everyone can speak to all parties, but it is also too scattered to form a real power. In the face of many people and events, we have to find a balance in compromise in the end, which is too laborious.
labor.
It is far less worry-free and professional than the Wu family who only concentrates on running their own overt and covert industries.
Therefore, the future development of the Wu family will definitely be higher than that of the Lin family in the Lion City, because since entering the new century, after the financial and industrial development of other Nanyang countries have improved, the weaknesses of the Lion City's small size have been exposed, so only in the
Financial and high-tech industries can still hold their own, while many other industries are quickly or about to be overtaken by latecomers.
This is a lack of national strength and an inhumane crime.
Wu Jizong couldn't help but sigh and said:
"The Li family is indeed very powerful, but unfortunately the size of the Lion City inherently limits their development. This is probably one of the big reasons why the Brittanians were able to allow them to become independent in the first place!"
Mrs. Wu continued: "Yes, the biggest difference between us and the Li family is that they can only do the dojo in that snail shell. In addition, our family is well hidden, even the closest in-laws don't know about it.
There are many secrets, so the colonists were able to allow us to stay together with some families and indigenous forces in Boni and rule this land, but now they cannot allow us to establish an independent country, and they are still under the banner of the Xia Dynasty!"
"Whether we join forces with the Luo family or the Chen family in this regard, I'm afraid the result will not be satisfactory. First of all, the Brittanians may have an ambiguous attitude, but the Bald Eagle has been using the Xia Kingdom as its opponent over the years, so it is absolutely unacceptable.
We may be allowed to have another Xia country in Nanyang that is inherently close to Xia Kingdom. They don't even mind starting a war for this, just because we don't have weapons of mass destruction and pose no threat to them. Unless we can unify all Nanyang
Xia Ren Front, but I don’t need to tell you that you also know how difficult it is to do that, right?”
The two brothers all nodded. Unifying the Nanyang Xia people would be a hellish start for anyone. Unless the Yongli Emperor, Lu Jianguo and other Ming Dynasty clans were resurrected, or the surnamed master of the country was resurrected. Otherwise, very few of the existing families
It is difficult for him to have such prestige and influence that he can be recognized by most Nanyang Xia people.
There are many families of Xia origin in Nanyang, but people's hearts are inevitably divided, because some of them came before the late Ming Dynasty, some came from the late Ming Dynasty and the early Jin Dynasty, and more of them came from the decades of war between the late Jin Dynasty and the early Republic of China and the founding of the Xinxia Kingdom.
Xia people immigrated over the centuries.
Of course, the old families who survived are relatively strong, but in terms of ideology, they cannot agree with those later immigrants who were mostly subjected to the castrated and ignorant rule of the Jin Kingdom and were willing to be obedient citizens of the Jin Dynasty. This is the same as the dispute between natives and guests, except that
It's not that intense.
Even with those progressive Xia people who came here after the early Republic of China and accepted new ideas, it was difficult for them to integrate. After all, families like the Wu family who came to Nanyang in the late Ming Dynasty, in their eyes, were
"Feudal remnants" that should be swept into the garbage heap of history.
In fact, when facing the threat of a common enemy, the Nanyang Xia people can still put aside their past grudges and tide over the difficulties together.
Of course, when there is no external threat, it will naturally be a different situation.
Some people say that this is because Xia people love internal fighting by nature. In fact, this is a kind of prejudice similar to survivor bias. In terms of internal fighting, other countries and nations are also the same. If you take a closer look at the history of various countries in the world, you can see many of them.
Examples of this.
Seeing that her husband's attitude had obviously relaxed, Wu Zhao Shuyuan continued to persuade her harder:
"Since it is impossible to achieve the ancestor's wish by uniting with the Chen family and the Luo family, why are you still worrying about the child's background?"
"What kind of impact does a man who may be the most extraordinary powerful man in the world, a true immortal that even ancient emperors could only ask for, have on our family? Maybe having such a son-in-law can change some of the inherent patterns.
, it may not necessarily bring us new changes!”
Wu Jixing also echoed:
"Yes, brother, if I just thought that Gao Jingfei was very mean to me before, then now I can say unceremoniously that to face him, unless our Wu family uses heavy weapons with both power and dexterity like multiple fighter jets,
Otherwise, the ordinary ordinary army will not have much advantage against this extraordinary person in the Xia Kingdom!"
"Although our Wu family is a martial arts family that has been in Nanyang since the Yongli period and has inherited it, we have cultivated nearly a thousand elite troops in Nanyang overtly and secretly, and we have thousands of regiments of militiamen and policemen at our disposal. Faced with
A transcendent person who surpasses Class B really doesn’t have much confidence in winning! If we are like this, what about those Nanyang families who are not as good as us?"
Wu Jizong's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"In other words, if I agree to that boy being my son-in-law, at least in terms of force, there will be no force on Bonizhou Island that can compete with us?"
As the general of Boni Kingdom and the supreme military leader of Sanlikun, Wu Jixing is quite knowledgeable in his professional field. He nodded to his elder brother and said:
"Yes, unless Java and Malaysia dispatch local troops, but that would be a situation similar to the Three Kingdoms War. I think those two countries would not be so unwise."
Both Wu Jizong and his wife understood what the second brother meant. It was not that Javanese and Malaya were afraid of Boni and themselves, but that once a war among the three countries was triggered, it would easily attract the intervention of foreign forces. That would be
The crisis where the jackal looks around.
After the Nanyang forces became independent, it took them dozens and hundreds of years and countless energy and financial resources to get rid of the influence and control exerted by most of the colonists.
Although Nanyang is still within the sphere of influence of several old colonial powers and world powers like Bald Eagle, it still has a lot of independent power.
Although Wu Jizong was a bit stubborn, he was not a headstrong character, especially since his closest wife and second brother had the same attitude. He also got rid of the inherent prejudice against Gao Jingfei, a mainlander.
It's not that he looks down on Xia Guoren, but because Gao Jingfei is too young and has just graduated from high school. Compared with the two previous candidates for his favorite son-in-law, in addition to having a good skin, in his opinion at first
There really is no other advantage!
If he had been chosen by a wealthy family from mainland China or someone else with a high status in society, he would naturally not have such a prejudice. But Gao Jingfei was too young and from an ordinary background, which was why he had a bad impression at first.
After all, any old father who suddenly discovers that a poor boy is eyeing the juicy cabbage in his field will probably have the same attitude, right?
What's more, although a wealthy family like the Wu family is not so feudal internally, they still have to consider too much when choosing a son-in-law.
Finally, with the joint persuasion of his brother and his wife, Wu Jizong understood the situation clearly in his heart, although he still felt a little embarrassed.
Just listen to what he said: "Since this boy is qualified to be my son-in-law, Wu Jizong, then it depends on the situation between him and Xuanxuan, otherwise we can't force a match!"
Seeing that although their eldest brother and husband were still being tough, his tone showed that he was beginning to give in. Wu Zhao Shuyuan and Wu Jixing's uncle and sister-in-law looked at each other and were both very satisfied with the result.
If Wu Jizong himself were not present, they would all have high-fived together to celebrate the happy cooperation!
This is because Wu Jixing has a different orientation, otherwise any jealous man would be sure that his head is a bit green!
Then Wu Zhao Shuyuan looked at the direction of the horizon and suddenly said:
"Tell me, if our Xuanxuan and that child Xiaofei go into the rainforest together, will there be any sparks in it?"
