The rise of the poor

Chapter 2105 Sincere and good at tempting

"That's great. Did you hear that? Wang Zhi can also be amnesty, and he can also become a government soldier."

After hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, Wang Zhi's mother was excited.

"Great."

Wang Zhi's wife was also extremely excited. She hugged little Wang Qiong and couldn't stop crying with excitement.

Seeing his grandma and mother excited, little Wang Qiong also became excited.

Zhu Pingan patiently waited for them to vent their excitement before coughing and slowly reminding them, "Old Madam, Madam Wang, Zhao'an is like a marriage, it requires both parties to be committed, the man must be in love and the woman must be willing, it won't work if both parties are only enthusiastic."

"What does the master mean?" Wang Zhi's mother and wife looked at Zhu Ping'an nervously and asked with concern.

"To put it simply, if we want to succeed in seeking amnesty, we can't rely on the imperial court alone. The key is Wang Zhi's cooperation. If the imperial court wants to seek amnesty, he, Wang Zhi, must also be willing to do so, and he must seize the opportunity and actively strive for it." Zhu Ping'an said to Wang Zhi's mother and wife in a serious manner, "If the imperial court is willing to recruit him, but he, Wang Zhi, has no intention of seeking amnesty and insists on being an enemy of the imperial court, then the imperial court can only use thunder and lightning to sweep away fallen leaves, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, what the master said is right." Wang Zhi's mother nodded repeatedly, but her face was worried, "If Wang Zhi doesn't accept it."

"If Wang Zhi accepts the imperial edict and still insists on the crimes of the Japanese pirates, the imperial court will have no choice but to lead a large army to wipe out the pirates. The imperial court will not sit idly by and watch the Japanese pirates burn, kill, loot, and endanger the people and the country." Zhu Ping'an said without hesitation.

Then, Zhu Pingan looked at Wang Zhi's mother and wife, and said seriously, "I brought the old lady, Madam Wang, and your son from the Jinhua Prefecture and treated them well. This is to show my sincerity to Wang Zhi and also to test him to see if he responds and whether he has the intention to grant peace."

"So that's how it is." Wang Zhi's mother and wife looked at each other and nodded.

"If Wang Zhi responds positively and is willing to submit to the emperor, I will facilitate the request and avoid a war. Wang Zhi will become an official soldier and serve the court. Then you, old lady, will be innocent, and the people of Jiangnan will be able to enjoy peace sooner, and everyone will be happy."

"Of course, even if Wang Zhi does not accept the amnesty, you do not have to worry about your lives. I will write to the court, requesting that your punishment be reduced and your death sentence be pardoned in consideration of your cooperation in the amnesty for Wang Zhi. I will allocate a small courtyard with a private entrance for you to temporarily live in. Except that you are not allowed to leave the city without my consent and report to the government office regularly, you can live a normal life. You do not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. I will provide you with the most basic living security."

"Little Wang Qiong is ten years old now, it's time for him to start school. I will arrange for him to attend a private school nearby. He should study hard and make progress every day."

Zhu Ping'an spoke seriously to Wang Zhi's mother and Wang Zhi's wife.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." Wang Zhi's mother couldn't help but stand up from her seat and kneel down to thank Zhu Ping'an.

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." Wang Zhi's wife also knelt down to express her gratitude.

Little Wang Qiong also followed his grandmother and mother to kneel down and thank Zhu Ping'an.

"You're welcome. Please stand up quickly." Zhu Ping'an helped Wang Zhi's mother up, pulled up little Wang Qiong, and helped Wang Zhi's wife up.

"The master took us out of prison, arranged a house for us, and guaranteed our basic living needs. He also arranged a private school for our grandson. The master treated us so well. I am afraid of Wang Zhi. He didn't know the master's kindness and sincerity, and missed the big thing."

Wang Zhi's mother raised a question.

Zhu Ping'an released them from prison, arranged houses for them to live in, and provided them with living expenses. He no longer had to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and he also arranged a private school for little Wang Qiong. This was really very kind to them. But how could Wang Zhi know that the master had done so much, and how could he know that the master had treated his family - us - well?

"Yes, I almost forgot this key point. How to let Wang Zhi know my kindness and sincerity. Madam, you asked a good question. Thank you for reminding me." Zhu Ping'an woke up as if from a dream and thanked Wang Zhi's mother.

In fact, Zhu Ping'an had thought about this problem a long time ago.

So, Zhu Ping'an came to meet them.

How to let Wang Zhi know one's goodwill and sincerity is indeed a very crucial issue.

First, you have to tell him.

Who to send?

Find a Japanese pirate to deliver the message? This is definitely not reliable.

Sending one of our own would also involve risks. When two armies are at war, envoys should not be killed. This is a tacit understanding among civilized people.

If he encounters a shameless person, he will kill the messenger.

Wang Zhi wanted face, but it was limited. He did not kill the messengers, but he captured them.

Zhu Ping'an had read about the Ming Dynasty before and remembered this period of history very clearly. According to history, two years later Hu Zongxian would send two envoys to the Japanese base camp to find Wang Zhi. Zhu Ping'an could not remember their specific names, which was a pity, otherwise Zhu Ping'an would have wanted to find these two people and entrust them with important tasks.

The two envoys had to cross the sea for 6,000 miles to go to Japan to find Wang Zhi. At that time, the ocean was not as safe as it is today. Not only were the ships not as safe as modern ones, there was no GPS navigation. On rainy and starless days, it would be impossible to tell the direction. Moreover, in those days, Japanese pirates were rampant, and the sea was full of desperate Japanese pirates. Safety was not guaranteed. It was amazing that they were able to cross the sea for 6,000 miles and reach Japan safely.

When we arrived in Japan, we only had to overcome one of the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties.

At this time, Japan was in the Warring States Period, just like the Warring States Period during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with many heroes vying for supremacy, attacking and killing each other, competing for the ultimate boss.

You say, in such a strange and war-torn country like Japan, it sounds difficult to find a Japanese pirate leader named Wang Zhi. However, these two people found Wang Zhi in this war-torn foreign country.

They had a very pleasant conversation. Wang Zhi also said that he did not want to be a pirate anymore. He wanted to submit to the imperial court and was willing to help the imperial court put down the Japanese rebellion.

The two envoys agreed with Wang Zhi to return home for peace talks. But on the day of the agreed return, Wang Zhi boarded the ship with the two envoys. When the ship was about to sail, Wang Zhi jumped off the ship. When he jumped off the ship, he also dragged an envoy with him, and said to the frightened envoy with a smile, "I can't go back now, and you can't go back either."

In this way, an envoy was captured by Wang Zhi and held hostage.

Therefore, facing Wang Zhi, a man with limited dignity, Zhu Ping'an had to carefully choose who to send.

In addition to who to send, there is another issue to consider.

You sent someone to tell Wang Zhi that your family members were not dead, that I had released your mother, your wife, and your son from prison, and that I had provided them with a place to live, food, and clothing, and that your son had been sent to a private school.

Will Wang Zhi believe it?

He certainly wouldn't believe it.

The key to gaining Wang Zhi's trust lies in Wang Zhi's mother and others. (End of this chapter)
