Volume Three, Chapter 87, Subduing
Does Yang Cong want to teach people to rebel and then raise the enemy to respect themselves?
Of course not. The reason why he told Wang Zhi not to listen to other people's orders was mainly because people nowadays have some brain problems.
The so-called brain problems do not mean that people these days have intelligence problems or are mentally abnormal. Their problems are mainly in their thoughts. To put it bluntly, people these days have too conservative thinking.
Whether it is Xia Yan and Zhu Wan who claim to be honest and honest, or Yan Song and Qiu Luan who are corrupt, these people are examples of valuing agriculture and neglecting commerce. In their eyes, doing business is useless, or they have no business acumen at all.
This is also the fundamental reason for the stagnation of the Ming Dynasty. Because no one attaches importance to commercial development, everyone guards acre of land and digs food in the fields.
This place is limited and the production capacity is limited. When it reaches a certain level, social development will stagnate. If the Ming Dynasty wants to continue to develop, overseas trade must be carried out.
No one understands this truth now, but Yang Cong is very clear about it.
The reason why he wanted to regain Wang Zhi was to develop overseas trade. Others' ideas about Wang Zhi were not as pure as him. He believed that most people, like Yan Song, just regarded Wang Zhi as a tool to gain political achievements and eliminate the biggest Japanese pirate leader. That was a great achievement.
That's why he told Wang Zhi not to listen to other people, even if he re-entered his old career and became a pirate or a Japanese pirate, he should not listen to other people's. He finally found such a suitable candidate, but he didn't want to be caught by others.
Wang Zhi also knew that many people wanted his neck, but he did not expect that this governor would be so lawless.
This guy is even more powerful than the people from the wealthy maritime business family.
He was just doing sea business secretly, but the Governor General was so good that he actually asked him to do business with the title of general.
He was stunned for a while, then he asked carefully: "Sir, are you doing insurance like this?"
Yang Cong said lightly: "Of course it's not safe."
ah!
Wang Zhi was confused by him. If you don’t have any insurance, you can’t say anything!
Yang Cong took a breath and continued: "The so-called wealth and honor are in danger, and don't take risks. How to make a lot of money? Are you willing to take this risk with me?"
this?
Wang Zhi thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that if you want to take risks, the risk of this governor seems to be greater. Once this matter is exposed, he will only regain his old career and become a Japanese pirate, and the governor will definitely be finished.
Would this Governor be so careless?
Obviously not. If someone is so stupid, it is impossible for him to take up the position of the governor.
He couldn't help but tentatively, "Sir, what should I do if this matter is exposed?"
Yang Cong said calmly: "It is inevitable to be exposed, but the emperor must believe it. If the emperor doesn't believe it, what's the use of their exposure? Don't worry, as long as you listen to my official obediently, there will be no problem."
This is already very obvious. This governor wants to accept himself as his confidant.
To be honest, Wang Zhi's mind is a little confused now.
He originally thought that he would meet with the Governor simply to discuss how he would let his family go. He had even thought about it, even if the Governor asked him to clear out other pirates and Japanese pirates, he would recognize him.
Unexpectedly, as we chatted, the governor actually talked about doing business.
Didn’t he just want to do business safely and make more money? From this point of view, he and the Governor have the same idea. Perhaps it’s good to find such a backer, but it’s different to listen to others. What if they treat themselves as cannon fodder?
Thinking of this, he asked carefully: "Sir, what do you want the younger one to do?"
Yang Cong said lightly: "It's very simple. Cooperate with me to eliminate all the disobedient pirates and Japanese pirates, and then do business well. You should also know that I have already recruited 50,000 Tunwei in Nanzhili, and you don't have to put too much effort in it. Basically, just help me determine the whereabouts of those pirates and Japanese pirates. As for the encirclement and suppression, you don't have to spend too much effort. These officials will arrange them, and your focus is on business."
It's that simple?
Wang Zhi thought about it and asked carefully: "Where is that little family?"
Yang Cong said lightly: "You can rest assured that this is the one I will place them in a very safe place in Quanzhou Prefecture to ensure that no one else can threaten you with this. You can send people to visit you frequently at that time. I guarantee that they will definitely live much better than when they were in Huizhou Prefecture."
This means being hostage.
When Wang Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but think.
He was indeed neglected by his family. When Yan Song sent someone to cooperate with him, he didn't expect this problem at all. At that time, he thought that he was the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet of the current dynasty. Who dared to do anything to his family?
Now it seems that his thoughts are a bit too naive. Yan Song just treats him as a gun. Perhaps, when he is disobedient, Yan Song will make trouble for his family, let alone others.
At this moment, his family may be the best result when it falls into the hands of the governor. At least the request of the governor was not too much. He just asked him to determine the whereabouts of other pirates and Japanese pirates, and he didn't even need to work hard when encircling and suppressing them. This condition is already quite good.
Thinking of this, he could only say helplessly: "Then thank you Governor."
It seems that this guy accepted his fate. It may not be perfect to conquer Wang Zhi in this way, but with his family in hand, Yang Cong was not worried that this guy would suddenly turn against him. Anyway, there is still time in the future, and he can always convince him.
Thinking of this, Yang Cong said solemnly: "General Wang, I will report to the court later to ask you for the position of general. I hope General Wang can fulfill his loyalty and serve the country with loyalty. Don't let down my wishes."
This is what you say, and you are loyal to your duties and serve the country loyally. You clearly show that it is good to let me do business with the Japanese pirates.
Wang Zhi also knew that the last sentence "Don't let down my official's wishes" was the key point. There was no way, my parents, wife and children were all pinned down. What else could he do? He could only bow helplessly and said, "Thank you, Governor, for your cultivation."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something.
Yan Song's confidant was still staring at him in Putuo. He suddenly defected to Yang Cong. What would Yan Song think and what would he do?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Sir, I almost forgot about it. Where is Mr. Yan Song and Yan Yan's Mu Bin still there? How should this person deal with it?"
He also knew that Yang Cong and Yan Song were against each other. Since he had defected to Yang Cong, he naturally could not keep Yan Song's people anymore.
Upon hearing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but say in surprise: "Oh, who is this person?"
Wang Zhi said honestly: "This person is a fellow villager, his surname is Luo and his name is Longwen. He was originally just a craftsman, but later he defected to Lord Yan Song and Yan, and slowly became shaking in the village. Perhaps because he is also from Huizhou, Lord Yan would send him to contact the villain."
Huizhou Luolongwen?
