My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 725 Go to the big man
Wang Tong couldn't understand why Mr. Jin in front of him wanted to help him?
With Wang Tong's crime, even if he could save his life, he could not keep his official position. Without his official position, Wang Tong would be an idler, and it seemed that the other party would not get any benefit from helping him?

"Cheng Shanbo, what are your plans for the future?"

Mr. Jin did not answer Wang Tong's words, but asked a question.

"What other plans can I have? I just want to save the lives of my whole family and return to my hometown for retirement in the future!"

Wang Tong shook his head frustratedly.

"That's such a pity. If it weren't for bad luck, with your talent, Uncle Cheng Shan, you would have been able to become a duke and a marquis!"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Jin took a sip of tea at this time, and then said something meaningful.

"Mr. Jin, what do you mean?"

Wang Tong was moved when he heard what the other party said, so he asked again.

"Cheng Shanbo, don't you understand? Take Duke E of the Han Dynasty as an example. In the Ming Dynasty, he was just a fallen noble son. But when he went to the Han Dynasty, he rose through the ranks with his military merit. Now he has regained the title that belonged to his ancestors. Are you willing to be buried in the countryside with all your talents and skills?"

At this time, Mr. Jin stopped beating around the bush and directly explained his purpose.

Wang Tong and his son guessed right. This Mr. Jin was indeed from the Han Dynasty. He mainly hung out among the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty to win over some worthy people for the Han Dynasty. Wang Tong was his target this time.

"Mr. Jin, do you want my dad to go to Dahan?"

When Wang Cong next to him heard this, he finally couldn't help shouting again, but this time Wang Tong did not scold his son again, but showed a thoughtful expression.

"Yes, even with my help, Uncle Chengshan can at most save your life. I am afraid that your title and official position will be taken back by the court. In this case, why do you insist on defending the Ming Dynasty?"

Mr. Jin smiled and said again.

Wang Tong, who was deep in thought, felt a little shaken when he heard Mr. Jin's words. To be honest, Wang Tong felt that the Wang family was already worthy of the Ming Dynasty. His father died in the war during the Jingnan War, and he couldn't even leave him a title. He fought on his own for half his life, only to be pushed out to take the blame in the end.

To be honest, if there is no resentment in Wang Tong's heart, it is definitely impossible. In fact, Wang Tong not only has resentment in his heart, but it is also very big. After all, the loss of such a big pot in Jiaozhi should not be blamed on his head at all. .

But there is no way, who made Wang Tong the commander-in-chief of Jiaozhi? Even if Jiaozhi was already in chaos when he took over, as long as it was lost while he was in office, he would have to bear the responsibility.

"Dad, I think Mr. Jin's words make sense. Our Wang family has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty doesn't want to keep us, why not go to the Han Dynasty? With your ability, you will definitely be reused!"

Wang Cong saw that his father was silent, so he spoke to persuade him.

In fact, if there were other ways out, Wang Cong would not be willing to leave his hometown and go to the Han Dynasty. Especially for a noble son like him, who has long been accustomed to the prosperity of the capital, he would not be willing to leave.

But there is no way. Now the title and official position of the Wang family cannot be kept. From now on, Wang Cong will be just an ordinary person, and it is impossible to hang out in the circle of nobles. Instead of being laughed at, it is better to encourage his father to go out and fight, saying Maybe in the future he can be the playboy who only wants to eat, drink and have fun.

Wang Tong turned to look at his son, and then said to Mr. Jin again: "I am now waiting for sin. Even if I go to the Han Dynasty, what can I do?" Wang Tong's words seemed to be self-deprecating, but in fact they were I am asking for a promise from Mr. Jin. After all, he is also Cheng Shanbo and has been the commander-in-chief of a place. If the big man cannot give him a corresponding official position, then he might as well stay in the Ming Dynasty.

"Uncle Chengshan, if it hadn't been for Jiaozhi, even if you were not granted the title of Marquis after you went to the Han Dynasty, your official position would definitely have been promoted to someone higher up. However, Jiaozhi's new defeat will also have a great impact on your reputation, so I'm afraid you can only serve as a general." Started!"

Mr. Jin did not play tricks and directly reported a real price to Wang Tong.

Wang Tong used to be the commander-in-chief of Jiaozhi, but because of this defeat, he had to be demoted one level when he went to the Han Dynasty. As for the title, he would not have it for the time being. Otherwise, if he went to the Han Dynasty as a defeated general, he would be knighted immediately, and I am afraid that the soldiers of the Han Dynasty would also be knighted. Will not be convinced.

"There's only one general? Then my dad might as well not go!"

When Wang Cong heard Mr. Jin's offer, he immediately shouted dissatisfied.

He was originally a big man who wanted to recruit his father, so he would definitely give him a high-ranking official and a generous salary, but he didn't expect that he was just a general. Although his official position was not low, it was obviously much worse than that of a general.

Compared to Wang Cong's dissatisfaction, Wang Tong seemed very calm and was weighing the pros and cons at this time.

Although the official position of a general is not high for him, he is still a high-ranking member of the army. He has the power to lead troops, and he can even take charge of it alone when necessary.

Therefore, Wang Tong knew very well that the conditions given to him by the Han Dynasty were not high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but an opportunity. After all, his defeat in Jiaozhi had completely ruined his reputation. Without the military exploits to prove his talents, the Han Dynasty would not Give yourself a title for nothing.

"I heard that the Han Dynasty won another victory in the north. Now it has suspended its expansion. I'm afraid there won't be any big wars in the future, right?"

Wang Tong pondered for a long time and suddenly asked Mr. Jin.

If the Han Dynasty stopped expanding and wars decreased, then it would be difficult for Wang Tong to gain military exploits if he went to the Han Dynasty. This was what he was most worried about.

"Cheng Shanbo doesn't have to worry about this. The Han Dynasty's external expansion has never stopped, and the ethnic groups in the Han Dynasty are mixed, and there are rebellions from time to time. Therefore, a large army is needed to quell the rebellion. For example, when Cheng Guogong went to the Han Dynasty, he led the army to quell the rebellion in the northwest. .”

Mr. Jin paused here and then said again.

"In addition, as far as I know, the Han Dynasty has always planned to use troops overseas, so you don't have to worry about not having a fight. And I can also guarantee that as long as you can achieve military merit, it will only be a matter of time before you restore your title!"

Wang Tong and Wang Cong were shocked when they heard that their titles could be restored by performing military service. Compared with official positions, titles are something that can be passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, no matter how high your official position is, you will still be a human being in the future. Take tea to cool off.

"Okay, I am willing to go to Dahan, but how should I get there? Besides, if the court knows that I went to Dahan, my family will definitely be questioned by the court, right?"

Wang Tong finally slapped the table and agreed, but then showed a troubled expression.

Everyone now knows that Zhu Zhanji hates Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanhe and his son, and has even issued an order strictly prohibiting people from coming to settle in Dahan privately. Of course, this kind of ban is useless. If the people really want to go to Dahan, there are many ways and means.

But as a noble, Wang Tong, even if he was dismissed from office and had no title, if he ran away to the Han Dynasty, Zhu Zhanji would definitely be extremely angry and even turn his anger on his family.
