The rise of the poor

Chapter 2172 Magical Reality

The covenant was made, and the conversation became harmonious, especially after the mutton, pork pot and wine were served.

The Japanese pirates and the Zhejiang soldiers were so drunk that they even started a drinking contest. The scene was extremely lively.

Many people, who were fighting each other to the death on the battlefield the day before, were drinking at the same table today.

It looks a bit magical.

After the meal, Zhu Pingan invited Wang Zhi's mother, wife and children to come over, so that Wang Zhi could spend some time with them. Zhu Pingan also gave them some space to spend time alone, which made Wang Zhi very grateful.

Wang Zhi was also very tactful and did not ask to bring back his mother, wife and children, because he knew that Zhu Ping'an would never agree.

The cooperation between the two sides has not yet reached this point.

"You evil son, you must cherish the opportunity that Lord Zhu has given you! If you are stubborn and refuse to change your ways, I will no longer have you as my son! Even if you die, you will never be allowed to enter the ancestral hall. The ancestors of your Wang family will never recognize you as an unfilial son!"

Before leaving, Wang repeatedly educated Wang Zhi.

"Don't worry, mother. I have already reached an alliance with Lord Zhu and will fully cooperate with him," Wang Zhi expressed repeatedly.

"Zhenlang, we are doing well now. You don't have to worry about us. Just work with Lord Zhu and do your big things. I have never regretted marrying you. I am willing to endure hardships or enjoy happiness. But my son is still young. He was imprisoned at such a young age. It is rare that he has been blessed by Lord Zhu and has seen the light of day again. He is so happy and blessed these days. Zhenlang, for the sake of your son, please take care of yourself."

Wang Zhi's wife hadn't seen Wang Zhi for so many years. When she saw Wang Zhi again, she couldn't help feeling a little strange and distant. Before leaving, she held Wang Zhi's hand with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer. Don't worry, you and your mother will have endless good times in the future."

Wang Zhi assured.

"Qiong'er, hurry up and call daddy. This is your dad. If you don't call him, you don't know when we will see each other again."

Wang Zhi's wife pulled little Wang Qiong and urged him to call him Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi also looked at Wang Qiong expectantly. They had been alone together for such a long time just now, but Wang Qiong had not even called him dad.

"I won't shout!" Little Wang Qiong turned his head away, puffing up his cheeks and sulking. He would never call this bad guy "dad".

"This kid is so self-conscious. Call me daddy now." Wang Zhi's wife put her arms around little Wang Qiong's shoulders, pinched them secretly, and said in a reproachful tone.

"He is not my father. He caused my grandmother and mother to be imprisoned for so many years and suffer so much. He is my enemy, not my father." Little Wang Qiong stiffened his neck and refused to call Wang Zhi "dad".

"Qiong'er, how can you talk like that?!" Wang Zhi's wife's face darkened and she angrily scolded little Wang Qiong.

"Don't blame my eldest grandson." Wang Zhi's mother protected little Wang Qiong.

"Hahaha. It's okay. It's all my fault. I made you suffer. That brat was right. He's a man of courage. He deserves to be my son. He knows how to feel sorry for you and mom. It's not in vain that you love him."

Wang Zhi burst into laughter, walked forward, stretched out his hand and gently pinched little Wang Qiong's face, his eyes full of admiration.

"I'm not your child, I'm my grandmother and mother's child." Little Wang Qiong slapped away Wang Zhi's hand that was pinching his face and said with his neck stiff.

"Hahahaha." Wang Zhi laughed even more happily.

Little Wang Qiong turned his head away in anger and ignored him.

Wang Zhi's mother and wife couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

Gradually, the sun set, and Wang Zhi and his party returned to the Japanese camp. Zhu Ping'an led his men out of the camp gate to see them off. Before leaving, both sides exchanged gifts.

"I know that Lord Zhu likes firearms. I got these two muskets from a trade with the Portuguese. They are the latest type of muskets in Portugal. They can be fired without a matchlock. It is said that they are used by their great nobles. I specially gave them to Lord Zhu."

Wang Zhi presented two exquisite new muskets to Zhu Ping'an.

Both of these muskets are pocket-sized muskets with the Rose family emblem on the handles and gilded patterns on the gun bodies, which are very exquisite.

Zhu Ping'an took the musket and saw that there was a piece of flint clamped on the jaws of the musket's hammer, and there was an anvil next to the fire hole, which must have a spring device inside.

This is already the latest type of flintlock rifle. At this time in history, it had only been developed in Europe for a few years and had not yet been popularized.

This will certainly be of great reference value to Master Ou and his team.

"Thank you, Chief Wang. This is exactly what I want." After receiving the musket, Zhu Ping'an bowed to Wang Zhi to express his gratitude.

Come and don't go indecent.

Zhu Pingan presented Wang Zhi with a world map. "This map is for Chief Wang. The times are calling. Let us encourage each other."

"Thank you, Master Zhu. I will hang this picture in my bedroom to remind myself all the time. I will join hands with you and suffocate for my dream!"

Wang Zhi took the map with both hands, folded it carefully and put it away, then clasped his fists to express his opinion.

"Let's join hands and suffocate for our dreams!" Zhu Ping'an bowed.

"I will bid farewell to you. Tomorrow I will lead my troops back to Ligang and recall the Japanese pirates in our coastal strongholds along the way. I will order Haifeng to lead his Japanese pirates to stay and help Lord Zhu to eliminate the remaining Japanese pirate strongholds along the coast."

Wang Zhi told Zhu Ping'an that he would order Mao Haifeng to lead his troops to stay and assist Zhu Ping'an in clearing out other Japanese pirate strongholds along the coast.

There were many Japanese pirate strongholds along the coast of Zhejiang. Although Wang Zhi was the most powerful one, he did not unify all the Japanese pirates. There were still some Japanese pirates who did not submit to him, and some even opposed him. Many of the strongholds along the coast were established by these Japanese pirates.

Wang Zhi left Mao Haifeng to assist Zhu Ping'an in clearing out these Japanese pirates. He also had his considerations. He wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate those disobedient Japanese pirates and eliminate dissidents so that he could dominate the sea.

"Thank you, Chief Wang. With the assistance of General Mao, we can get twice the result with half the effort." Zhu Ping'an bowed to thank him.

"It is Haifeng's good fortune to be able to observe and learn from Lord Zhu. If he can learn one thing from Lord Zhu, it will be enough for him to benefit from for the rest of his life. I will leave him an order, asking him to obey Lord Zhu in everything. Lord, just give the order when the time comes. If he disobeys the order, Lord, just punish him. Even if you take his head off for disobeying military orders, I will never complain."

Wang Zhi expressed his opinion.

"Not really, not really." Zhu Ping'an said with a laugh, "General Mao is brave and familiar with the coastal areas, and he is exactly what I need. When the time comes, I will report the contributions of Chief Wang and General Mao to His Majesty in a secret memorial."

"Thank you, Lord Zhu. We are grateful. If Your Majesty has mercy on us and issues an imperial decree of amnesty, we will fight to the death to protect the peace of the coastal areas for Your Majesty and serve Your Majesty at our utmost." Wang Zhi thanked him repeatedly.

After some chatter, Wang Zhi and his party said goodbye and left. Zhu Ping'an and his party watched them cross the bridge and return to the Japanese camp. (End of this chapter)
