The rise of the poor

Chapter 2144 The Messenger is Online

"Master Zhu, do you have the power to lift the ban on sea trade? You can't lie to me. Isn't this a power that only the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has?"

Mao Haifeng was surprised and questioned.

"First, it is true that I do not have the power to lift the maritime ban, but I have a hundred ways to circumvent it; second, if Wang Zhi cooperates, I am 80% sure that I can convince His Majesty to lift the maritime ban and accept wealth from all over the world."

Zhu Ping'an looked at Mao Haifeng confidently and said slowly.

Indeed, although Zhu Ping'an had no power to lift the maritime ban, he was the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He had more than a hundred ways to circumvent the maritime ban, he had ten thousand ways to circumvent the maritime ban! As for persuading the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to lift the maritime ban, Mao Haifeng felt that Zhu Ping'an might be able to do it. His ability to persuade himself step by step was evident from his ability to talk.

Compared with Zhu Wan who enforced a tough maritime ban, and Zhang Jing who insisted on the current maritime ban, Zhu Ping'an actually dared to be an advocate of opening the maritime ban. This news was even better than the news that Prince Hui's family was still alive.

"Master Zhu, how can I believe that you are not lying to me?" Mao Haifeng confirmed with Zhu Ping'an again.

"You are still standing here asking these nonsense!" Liu Dadao on the side couldn't help but complain, "If we hadn't asked you to pass a message to Wang Zhi, we would have already taken advantage of the victory and wiped you out! Did our masters go through so much trouble just to deceive you?! You think too highly of yourselves!"

"You!" Mao Haifeng was angry, but after thinking about it, it was indeed true. In today's battle, Zhu Ping'an obviously held back.

At that time, I thought that Zhu Ping'an was too cautious, which caused him to miss the opportunity to annihilate me. Now I know that Zhu Ping'an was holding back and wanted me to be his messenger and deliver a letter to King Hui.

Zhu Ping'an pointed at Mao Haifeng's eyes and said meaningfully, "Your eyes will see the answer."

This dog official's words are really philosophical.

After hearing this, Mao Haifeng nodded in his heart. Yes, I have eyes. It is not easy for Zhu Pingan to deceive me!

So he nodded.

By the time Mao Haifeng and his party returned to the temporary camp from the wooden bridge, Otomo Sadakawa was already waiting impatiently.

"How about it, Brother Haifeng, is the mother of Prince Hui mentioned by Zhu Pingan really Prince Hui's mother?"

As soon as Otomo Sadakawa saw Mao Haifeng, he couldn't wait to step forward and ask.

"Yes, she is indeed Prince Hui's mother. The old lady I recognize will definitely not make a mistake. The old lady also confirmed that Prince Hui's wife and children are all alive." Mao Haifeng nodded vigorously and affirmed.

"Wow! This is really great!" After hearing this, Otomo Sadakawa couldn't help but smile and clapped his hands.

This is really great news. With such a credit, they can get through this crushing defeat at the hands of Zhu Ping'an smoothly.

"Brother Dayou, do you know that in addition to this good news, I also brought back great news."

Mao Haifeng couldn't help but say complacently.

"There is another piece of great news? Is Zhu Ping'an going to surrender to Prince Hui? This shouldn't be possible! I really can't guess."

Otomo Sadakawa was extremely surprised. After some guessing, he shook his head, indicating that he could not guess what other great news there might be.

"Zhu Ping'an said that the maritime ban should be lifted. This is his wish. He is a proponent of lifting the maritime ban!" Mao Haifeng said excitedly.

"Zhu Ping'an is going to lift the maritime ban?!" Otomo Sadakawa was shocked when he heard the news.

"Yes, he said that although he had no power to lift the maritime ban, he had a hundred ways to circumvent it. In addition, he also said that if Prince Hui cooperated, he was 80% sure that he could convince the emperor to lift the maritime ban."

Mao Haifeng replied.

"This is really unexpected. Even if he does nothing and just condones private trade, the benefits will be unimaginable. The wealth of the Ming Dynasty is truly vaster than the ocean. If we can engage in mutual trade, the gains will be much greater than what we get from looting." Otomo Sadakawa couldn't help pacing back and forth excitedly.

"My godfather's dream is to open the port and connect it to the market! If he hears this news, he will definitely be overjoyed."

Mao Haifeng couldn't stop smiling.

"Yoshi! King Hui wants us to attack from all directions. His policy is to 'blackmail the government and open up the ports'! If King Hui knew that Zhu Ping'an also had an open attitude towards the maritime ban, he would definitely be very happy."

Otomo Sadakawa nodded in agreement.

"No wonder Zhu Ping'an said before that we have common interests. He was referring to the lifting of the maritime ban."

Mao Haifeng thought about it and said suddenly, "Zhu Ping'an said, 'There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests.' He intends to lift the ban on sea trade, and my adoptive father dreams of lifting the ban on sea trade. We both have common interests in lifting the ban on sea trade."

"Based on this point alone, Prince Hui would not refuse to negotiate with him." Otomo Sadakawa nodded.

"Zhu Ping'an looks simple and honest, but he is quite shrewd. He can throw out the idea of ​​opening the sea ban, so he must have more baits hidden in his mind, waiting to be thrown out when my adoptive father discusses with him."

Mao Haifeng said, touching his chin.

"We've seen it all in today's battle. Even when you and I joined forces, we were still badly defeated by him. How could he not be cunning?!"

Otomo Sadakawa smiled bitterly.

"Haha, that's right. If he doesn't have any cunning, then we are too stupid." Mao Haifeng smiled bitterly.

"Brother Haifeng, what are you going to do?" asked Otomo Sadakawa.

"Tell the truth to your foster father, give him the letter and keepsakes from your dry grandmother, and then tell him what Zhu Ping'an said."

Mao Haifeng replied without thinking.

"Prince Hui is wise and brave, and he will definitely be able to distinguish right from wrong." Otomo Sadakawa nodded.

"According to the time, my godfather will be here soon. Let's go to the front to greet him." Mao Haifeng suggested.

"What should we do with the camp?" asked Otomo Sadakawa.

"Don't worry, just tell the boys to guard the place. Zhu Ping'an intends to discuss important matters with my adoptive father, so he will definitely not attack. Otherwise, he wouldn't sit idly by and watch us build the camp." Mao Haifeng said confidently.

"Okay, then let's go to the front to welcome King Hui." Otomo Sadakawa nodded.

"Let's go. I can't wait to tell my godfather about these two happy events." Mao Haifeng stuffed the letter into his arms, and then stuffed the little golden man token into his arms, and walked out of the tent impatiently.

"Haha, King Hui must have received the news of our defeat. If we go to welcome him, we will probably be punished. I'm afraid someone has already spread rumors."

Otomo Sadakawa chased after him with a chuckle. He said that he was going to be punished, but he was not worried about it at all and could even laugh about it.

"Haha, but they definitely don't know about these two great happy events." Mao Haifeng laughed, "I can't wait to see what the faces of those who spread rumors will be like when the time comes." (End of this chapter)
