Chapter 482: Into the Urn
"The old shipowner, I was ordered to bring the words below, and the words were brought, and I won't stay much below!"
He Xinyin turned around and left, and Wang Zhi hurriedly said, "He Daxia, the old man will send you." ”
The head was all delivered, and the others followed out, and when they arrived at the dock, He Xinyin clenched his fists and arched his hands, "Old ship owner, the situation in the court is treacherous, and Lord Tang is difficult to control, where to go, it all depends on the old shipowner." ”
After the explanation, He Xinyin jumped on the boat, and flew as if leaving, Wang Zhi stood on the dock, looked at the distant ship, opened his mouth several times, wanted to leave He Xinyin, but didn't know what to say, until this He Daxia disappeared without a trace, Wang Zhi was stunned for a long time, and finally shook his head, returned to his residence from the seaside, closed the door, and sat alone for a whole day, without eating or drinking.
Wang Zhi admitted that he had miscalculated the situation at the imperial court. There are two paths in front of him, one is to concentrate troops and have a decisive battle with Hu Zongxian.
Weighing the combat strength of the two sides, the officers and troops have the advantage, originally they were familiar with the terrain and sea conditions, and they could deal with the officers and troops, but if Xu Hai and Xin Wulang were added, the advantage would be gone. Wang Zhi was sure to save his life, but in the future, he would never want to restore relations with the official army, and he had little life left, so he could only be displaced at sea and suffer a lot.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhi's head is about to explode, he is no longer young, and he can withstand the wind and rain for a few years, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be replaced by an endless stream of juniors, dying in an unknown sea, and his body will become food for sharks......
Wang Zhi shook his head hard, not daring to think about it anymore.
If you don't want to fight hard, you can only surrender, and if you want to surrender, you can only beg Tang Yi. After thinking about it, Wang Zhi called Mao Haifeng over. He picked out a box of treasures from the warehouse and asked him to present them to Tang Yi.
When the box was delivered to Hangzhou, Tang Hezheng opened it and looked at it, his eyes were straight.
Well, there is no white one, no yellow one. All the red goods, the size of the dragon's eye pearl three hanging, each hanging is one hundred and eight, huge cat eyes, brilliance, agate, diamond, jade, white jade...... Everything is priceless, not only before the things, but even the boxes are agarwood, revealing a sweet and greasy fragrance.
"Rub Ha Lazi!" Tang Yi didn't have a good airway.
Tang Hezheng smiled awkwardly. The thief's eyebrows sighed: "Senior brother, Wang Zhi is really rich!" ”
"Hmph, these things are not easy to come by, most of them are stolen goods, forget it, put it away."
Tang Hezheng nodded, personally holding the small wooden box, before leaving. reminded: "Senior brother, that Mao Haifeng is still waiting for you!" ”
"Sure enough, it's the way of money!"
Tang Yi scolded with a smile: "Are you in a hurry to say good things to him? Let him wait three more days! ”
One word. Mao Haifeng was unlucky for three more days, there was nothing in the pavilion, only brown rice porridge and water bumps every day, and his face was green after eating. It's just that the heart is hot and big, and the food is so light. The corners of his mouth were blistered, and his throat was broken, and he finally looked forward to being summoned by Tang Yi.
Mao Haifeng was tortured and lost his heart, and knelt on the ground as soon as they met.
"Lord Tang. The father-in-law, the old man, is thinking about the court with all his heart, and he has no ambitions, so he implores Lord Tang to open up the world and give up the great grace of the heavens and the earth, and allow the father-in-law to surrender and stop the war, which is good for us! Mao Haifeng kowtowed.
Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Tang Yi almost laughed.
There is a saying that if you don't go, you will go backwards, which is just right for Wang Zhi. Originally, he had the advantage, the vast sea, and Hu Zongxian had no choice but to beg and coax him to surrender.
But how bad Hu Zongxian is, with Tang Yi, the bad water of the two of them poured out enough to fill a swimming pool.
Hu Zongxian pretended to be black-faced, raised a large number of soldiers to attack, and created momentum. Tang Yi sang red-faced, giving Wang Zhi a little hope, and unconsciously, the strengths and weaknesses of the two sides were reversed, and it became Wang Zhi's request for Tang Yi, the difference was too big, Tang Yi simply felt that there was a big fat pig in the arch!
"Reserved, reserved, must be reserved!"
Tang Yi kept admonishing himself, calmed down, and sighed in a slightly regretful voice: "Get up, the old shipowner's affairs, this official can't help!" ”
"Don't!" Mao Haifeng was really anxious, and grabbed Tang Yi's clothes, "Lord Tang, we have a friendship, in the past few years, you have made ...... just gold and silver arbitrage."
"Say no more!"
Tang Yi suddenly stretched out his hand, covered Mao Haifeng's mouth, and said angrily: "The official has asked He Xinyin to send you a letter, what else do you want?" Do you want to finish with the official? ”
"Lord Tang, the little ones don't dare!" Mao Haifeng hurriedly let go of Tang Yi's legs, apologized and said, "The little one is in a hurry, please atone for your sins." ”
"Well, get up, we have something to say."
Mao Haifeng trembled and got up from the ground, Tang Yi let him sit opposite, and poured a cup of tea, which flattered him.
"For the sake of past friendships, this official will tell the truth." Tang Yi looked around and said in a low voice: "The old ship owner can't surrender. ”
As soon as these words came out, Mao Haifeng was startled, and said in his heart that this person didn't have something wrong with his brain, right?
"The situation in the imperial court is treacherous, and many people want to exchange the old shipowner's head for a black gauze hat, and if they surrender rashly, they will only be sent to death, do you understand?"
Of course Mao Haifeng knew it, but he didn't understand why Tang Yi would think about Wang Zhi.
"This official knows, you doubt my attitude, in fact, put yourself in their shoes, you will understand." Tang Yi sighed: "There has always been a debate between opening the sea and locking the country in the imperial court, and this official is an out-and-out open-sea faction, and he still holds the city division in his hand at the moment. For me, expanding overseas trade, opening shipping routes, establishing naval bases, supply lines, sending competent men to Persia and the West were all things that had to be done. Tang Yi turned around, stared at Mao Haifeng, and said frankly: "Can I count on the elm heads in the imperial court, as well as those waste wood and water masters?" None of them can succeed, only you can help me, we are all real open-sea factions! ”
Based on the experience of the two lives, Tang Yi summed up the Dafa of fooling, the first is to make the other party believe that you are in a group with him, and you are thinking about him. Mao Haifeng unconsciously has entered the trap.
"Lord Tang, since we are the same head, you should help us!"
"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that this matter is too involved." Tang Yi said: "Hu Zongxian is easy to say, he just wants to pacify the southeast, martial arts sound good, but the risk is also big, he can feel the taste of this." I'll talk to him, it won't be much of a problem, the trouble is that once the old shipowner surrenders, will those civil and military who are jealous of him secretly attack? Once someone kills the old shipowner, won't I be sorry for my friend? ”
As far as Tang Yi's acting skills are concerned, let alone worth two actors, it is as if he and Wang Zhi have been close friends for many years, and they are thinking about Wang Zhi everywhere.
After the foreshadowing, Mao Haifeng already believed in seventy-seven-eighty-eight. He was moved to tears, "Lord Tang, you really didn't say anything about your behavior, Haifeng is convinced!" ”
Mao Haifeng barely calmed down, and said without giving up: "My lord, according to what you say, there is no room to turn back." ”
"Not necessarily."
Tang Yi hesitated again and again, and finally threw out a method, "If the old shipowner wants to keep it safe, he can't hand over the military power, he can bring three or five thousand soldiers and horses to surrender, as for the large army, it must be placed on the sea, with the backing of men and horses, the life of the old shipowner will be fine." You can also send a small group of pirates to invade the coast from time to time, and then let the old shipowner come forward to settle the situation, come and go, and highlight the value of the old shipowner, so that the court will not dare to touch the old shipowner. ”
"Wonderful!"
Mao Haifeng immediately slapped his face, supporting the army and respecting himself, it is not new, but it is too unusual for a court official to give such a method to the head of the Japanese Bandits. Human nature has always been to seek good fortune and avoid evil, Mao Haifeng did not suspect that Tang Yi had any selfish distractions, it was completely for the sake of his father-in-law.
"The adult's method is good, but once the father-in-law surrenders, there will always be a group of people staring at him, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves......"
Mao Haifeng suddenly shut up, because he found out that he was the thief, and the "thief" in his mouth was an official like Tang Yi, wasn't this scolding the monk in front of the bald man?
Tang Yi didn't care, and said with a smile: "This worry is right, but it is also redundant, according to the official's estimate, with the full opening of the sea, it will not be long before a fleet will be organized to sail, and there are too many islands in the South China Sea that are not yet inhabited." After the limelight, I tried to find a way to let the old shipowner sail and put a few islands into the Ming Dynasty, even if it was to expand the territory, no one dared to say anything about the old shipowner, and then you would be an official and a legitimate businessman, going back and forth to the sea, freely entering and exiting the Ming Dynasty, and doing whatever you wanted. ”
"Great!"
Facing Tang Yi, Mao Haifeng was really not an opponent, the two sides talked for more than two hours, and when they returned to Cen Gang, Mao Haifeng became a fan of Tang Yi.
Lord Kuatang is righteous and thin, with a long-term vision, and a warm heart, and he is the Qin Shubao of the world.
He told Wang Zhi about Tang Yi's idea, and Wang Zhi carefully scrutinized it, but did not find any flaws.
"Well, since that's the case, let's do it according to Lord Tang's idea!" Wang Zhi finally nodded.
After intense consultations, on March 3 of the 38th year of Jiajing, Wang Zhi led 20 warships to Hainingwei and formally surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
Tang Yi, who single-handedly promoted Wang Zhi's surrender, did not appear, and it was Hu Zongxian who was responsible for recruiting An.
The governor took the holy decree and read it in front of Wang Zhi and his men, and brought Wang Zhi's old mother, so that the mother and son met and the relatives were reunited, hugging their heads and crying.
Hu Zongxian was kind enough to appease, and after discussion, Wang Zhi was temporarily arranged in Zhapu. The whole surrender ceremony, only Hu Zongxian a formal official, the rest are his shogunate entourage, Hu Zongxian personally arranged for Lu Bo to lead two thousand men and horses, called protection, in fact, it is overseer, and when people arrived in Zhapu, Wang Zhicai was surprised to find that there are five thousand men and horses of the general Liu Xian, and at sea, there are Yu Dayou's generals, leading thirty ships to block the sea.
Wang Zhi fell into an elaborate trap, and the legendary will of the imperial court to add officials to the knighthood did not come down. The old shipowner, who had been running for most of his life, finally understood that he had been fooled.
It's just that it's too late, Hu Zongxian has already used the banner of Wang Zhi to recruit rebels everywhere, and the huge Japanese are torn apart. (To be continued.) )
