Rise From the Humble

"That's great, did you hear that? Wang Zhi can also be granted an imperial decree and become an official soldier."

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

"That's great."

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

Seeing her grandmother and mother excited, little Wang Qiong also became excited.

Zhu Ping'an patiently waited for them to vent their excitement before coughing and slowly reminding them, "Old lady, Madam Wang, an imperial decree is like a marriage. It requires both parties to go forward in both directions. The man must be affectionate and the concubine must be willing. It's not okay to be one-sided."

"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 the amnesty, we can't rely on the imperial court alone. The key is Wang Zhi's cooperation. If the imperial court wants the 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 with a serious face, "If the imperial court is willing to recruit, but Wang Zhi is not willing to do so and insists on being an enemy of the imperial court, then the imperial court can only sweep away the fallen leaves with thunder and lightning, 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 amnesty and still insists on the crimes of the Japanese pirates, then the imperial court can only lead the army to eliminate them. The imperial court will not sit idly by and watch the Japanese pirates burn, kill, rob, 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 Mansion and treated them well. This is to show my sincerity to Wang Zhi and also a test for him to see if he responds and has the intention to make peace."

"So that's the case." Wang Zhi's mother and wife looked at each other and nodded.

"If Wang Zhi responds positively and intends to surrender, I will promote the surrender and avoid a war. Wang Zhi will become an official soldier and serve the court, and you, old lady, will naturally be innocent, and the people in Jiangnan will be able to enjoy peace earlier, and everyone will be happy."

"Of course, even if Wang Zhi does not accept the surrender, you don't have to worry about your life. I will write to the court, thinking of your cooperation in the surrender of Wang Zhi, and request to reduce your punishment and pardon your death penalty. I will allocate a small courtyard with a private door for you to live temporarily. Except that you are not allowed to leave the city without my consent and report to the government office regularly, you can live normally. You don't 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, and it's time for him to go to elementary school. I will arrange for him to attend a private school nearby, study hard, and make progress every day."

Zhu Ping'an said to Wang Zhi's mother and wife with a serious face.

"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 Pingan.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." Wang Zhi's wife also knelt down to thank him.

Little Wang Qiong also knelt down to thank Zhu Pingan with his grandmother and mother.

"You're welcome, please stand up quickly." Zhu Pingan helped Wang Zhi's mother up, pulled up Little Wang Qiong, and helped Wang Zhi's wife up.

"Master took us out of the prison, arranged a house for us, and guaranteed our basic living, so that we have no worries about food and clothing, and arranged a private school for our grandson. Master treated us so well. I am afraid of Wang Zhi. He didn't know the kindness and sincerity of Master and missed the big thing."

Wang Zhi's mother raised a question.

Zhu Pingan released them from the prison, arranged houses for them to live in, and they didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. He also arranged a private school for little Wang Qiong. This was really too kind to them, but how did Wang Zhi know that the master had done so much, and how did he know that the master treated his family well - us.

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

In fact, Zhu Pingan had thought of this question a long time ago.

So, Zhu Pingan came to see them.

How to let Wang Zhi know his goodwill and sincerity is indeed a very critical issue.

First of all, you have to tell him.

Who to send?

Find a Japanese pirate to bring a message? ! This is definitely not reliable.

Sending one of your own people will also take risks. It is a tacit understanding between civilized people that the two armies will not kill the messengers when fighting.

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

Wang Zhi wanted face, but it was limited. He didn't kill the messenger, but he captured him.

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

Please...you...collect_6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

The two messengers had to cross the sea and the ocean for 6,000 miles to Japan to find Wang Zhi. At that time, the ocean was not as safe as it is now. Not only were the ships not as good as modern ones, but it also had no GPS navigation. On rainy days without stars, it was impossible to tell the direction; moreover, in those days, Japanese pirates were rampant, and the sea was full of desperate Japanese pirates, and safety was not guaranteed. They were able to cross the sea and the ocean for 6,000 miles and reach Japan safely, which was amazing.

When they arrived in Japan, they only had one difficulty.

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 heroes fighting and killing each other to compete for the ultimate boss.

You say, it is not easy to find a Japanese pirate leader named Wang Zhi in such a strange and war-torn country. However, these two people found Wang Zhi in this foreign country with war.

They had a good chat, and Wang Zhi also said that he didn't want to be a Japanese pirate anymore. He wanted to surrender to the court, and he was willing to help the court quell 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 boat with the two envoys. When the boat was about to sail, Wang Zhi jumped off the boat. When he jumped off the boat, he also forced an envoy to go back 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 as a hostage.

So, facing Wang Zhi, who has limited face, Zhu Ping'an must also carefully choose who to send.

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

You send someone to tell Wang Zhi that your family is not dead, I released your mother, your wife and your son from the prison, and arranged a place for them to live, so that they have no worries about food and clothing, and arranged a private school for your son to study.

Will Wang Zhi believe it?

He definitely won't believe it.

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