My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 724 The mysterious Mr. Jin

Wang Tong swept away the previous gloom, asked his servants to bring tea and snacks, and was ready to entertain guests.

After a while, Wang Cong came in with a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was of medium height and had a gentle appearance. He looked like an ordinary private school teacher.

"Father, this is Mr. Jin!"

After Wang Cong invited the middle-aged man in, he introduced Wang Tong.

"Jin Jin, please pay your respects to Uncle Cheng Shan!"

Mr. Jin also stepped forward to salute Wang Tong very politely.

But Wang Tong did not dare to underestimate the other party. He stood up and greeted him personally: "Mr. Jin, you are very polite. Please take a seat quickly!"

The two parties took their seats respectively. Wang Tong exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party before he eagerly got to the point and said, "I heard Wang Cong say just now, Mr. Jin, can you help me?"

In response to Wang Tong's inquiry, Mr. Jin did not rush to answer, but took a sip of tea and then said: "Cheng Shanbo, Jiaozhi is one of Emperor Taizong's greatest achievements. Now that Jiaozhi is lost, someone must stand up." Responsible, unfortunately, you are obviously the most suitable candidate!"

"I know all this. If Xia Shangshu and Huang Shangshu hadn't interceded for me today, I'm afraid His Majesty would have sentenced me to death on the spot!"

Wang Tong also sighed after hearing this. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. It wouldn't matter if he died, but dozens of members of the Wang family might also be implicated.

"Yes, Your Majesty has today asked the Ministry of War and the Fifth Military Governor's Office to review Cheng Shanbo's use of troops in Jiaozhi. Although it seems to have given you a chance, I must say frankly that the final result may still not be optimistic!"

Jin Jin stopped beating around the bush and directly stated the situation Wang Tong was facing now.

"Sir, please teach me how to get out of this dead situation?"

Wang Tong asked Jin Jin anxiously for advice.

Wang Tong also agreed with Jin Jin's judgment. The reason why Zhu Zhanji did not immediately sentence him to death was entirely because of the face of Huang Fu and Xia Yuanji. But if the big pot of Jiaozhi is lost, he will definitely be detained in the end. On his head, Wang Tong knew this very well.

"After Cheng Shanbo returns to Beijing, does he know the current situation in Jiaozhi?"

Jin Jin smiled calmly again, and then asked back.

"This... I don't know!"

Wang Tong blushed and shook his head.

When he left Jiaozhou before, he took everyone he could with him. Although he saved many people's lives, it also led to the loss of all Ming's eyes in Jiaozhou, so now he has almost no idea about the situation inside Jiaozhou. I only know that there are several rebel groups fighting among themselves, and it is estimated that the strongest one will eventually be determined and become the new king of Cochin.

"Then let me first introduce the situation in Jiaozhi. Since Cheng Shanbo led the Ming army and people to withdraw from Jiaozhi, there have been two groups of rebels vying for dominance in Jiaozhi. One of them is your defeated general Li Shan, and the other is a rising star. Li Song, this Li Song raised troops from Jiuzhen Port and took advantage of the confrontation between you and Li Shan to sneak attack on the opponent's lair..."

Jin Jin told the story of Li Song's rise in Jiaozhi and the current situation in Jiaozhi in detail. Wang Tong also listened very carefully because he knew that this would be related to the fate of his family.

It turned out that after Wang Tong and the others withdrew from Jiaozhi, Li Song and Li Shan fought for hegemony. Li Song raided Li Shan's home base and captured several state capitals in the south of Jiaozhi, while Li Shan retreated to the north. Both sides used Thanh Hoa Prefecture as their base. The worlds confront each other.

However, this confrontation only lasted less than a month. Then Li Shan couldn't help but send troops to attack Li Song because Li Song raided his lair and executed all his family members. This made Li Shan lose his patience. Anyway They all want to kill Li Song for revenge.

But Li Shan didn't know that Li Song killed his family just to anger him, and Li Song had already laid a dragnet for Li Shan.At the beginning, Li Song deliberately pretended to be invincible, causing Li Shan to fight consecutively, and even reached the vicinity of Jiuzhen Port for a time.

This also greatly increased Li Shan's confidence. At the same time, he relaxed his vigilance and began to boldly mobilize his troops, preparing to capture Jiuzhen Port in one fell swoop and capture Li Song for revenge.

However, with the sudden advance of Li Shan's army, the supply line from the rear was stretched too long. Li Song sent his cousin Li Xi to lead an army alone and attacked Li Shan's grain transport team from the rear, causing the grain supplies transported from the rear to be burned.

The grain and grass supplies in the rear were burned, and the morale of Li Shan's army in front quickly became unstable. So taking this opportunity, Li Song killed a carbine and defeated Li Shan's army in one fell swoop. The resisters were killed, and he just surrendered. There are tens of thousands of people.

Li Shan was also almost caught by Li Song. Fortunately, he sent his confidant to pretend to be himself, thereby distracting the pursuers, and then escaped.

However, after this battle, Li Shan's vitality was severely damaged, and his prestige among the rebels also fell to the bottom.

In contrast, Li Song's reputation has grown greatly, and other rebels are now sending people to contact Li Song, and it is expected that they will formally defect to him soon.

"Li Shan has now retreated to the Jiming Pass area, but Li Song has successfully captured Jiaozhou and controlled most of Jiaozhi. Moreover, he has sent two armies to kill Jiming Pass. If nothing happens, Li Shan will die. There is no doubt that Jiaozhi will be Li Song’s world by then!”

Mr. King finally added.

"Mr. Jin, are these related to my father's affairs?"

At this time, Wang Cong, who had been listening, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Shut up, Mr. Jin must have his intentions behind what he said!"

Unexpectedly, Wang Tong directly reprimanded his son, because he knew very well that Jin Jin could master so much inside information about Jiaozhi. He must have a reliable intelligence channel. You must know that Ming Dynasty cannot obtain information from inside Jiaozhi now, and the only The only one who is capable is Da Han, which shows that Jin Jin is really related to Da Han.

I saw Jin Jin smile slightly, and then continued: "Cheng Shanbo, you are guilty of Jiaozhi, of course you can be acquitted of Jiaozhi, I can ask Li Song of Jiaozhi to write to Ming Dynasty, requesting to start negotiations with Ming Dynasty, to discuss the future of the two countries relationship, and the candidate for this negotiation is you, Cheng Shanbo, because Li Song only believes in you!"

"Why does he believe my dad?"

Wang Cong's mind obviously hadn't turned around, and he asked again in confusion.

"Idiot, don't interrupt if you don't understand!"

Wang Tong angrily scolded his son again, and then offered his hand to Jin Jin.

"Mr. Jin, are you sure you can get that Li Song to write a letter and appoint me to negotiate?"

"You don't have to doubt this. As long as Jiaozhi appoints you to negotiate, the court will not convict you for the time being. When the negotiation is successful, I will use some power to operate, at least to avoid your death penalty."

Jin Jin finally said again.

"What's the price? Mr. Jin, if you help me like this, you won't want nothing more, right?"

Wang Tong stared at Mr. Jin and asked. He didn't believe that there was such a thing as pie-in-the-sky good things in this world.
