The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 389 Save the Prince and Princess First

When Jia Min came to Wang Ziteng's house, Wang Ziteng had just returned from Lu Dashi's place.At this time, two of his subordinates were discussing matters.

Mrs. He, Wang Ziteng's wife, received Jia Min.

"Brother Ming, wait here for a while, your uncle will be fine in a while."

Having been here twice before, Mrs. He treated Jia Min neither coldly nor coldly, but treated each other with courtesy.This time, it was obviously much more intimate than before.

Mrs. He is graceful and luxurious, with the same bearing and style as Mrs. Wang.

Not to mention what's in the heart, the background of this big family is also revealed all the time in these consorts.

The accumulation and inheritance of a century-old noble family is still somewhat different from that of ordinary families.

"Thank you, aunt."

"It's all from my own family, so don't say those kind words. This time, you believed that your elder brother wouldn't listen to you, and finally caused a big disaster. Your uncle can't eat or sleep these two days, so he will send someone to come back I'm looking for you back. Please advise your uncle, don't worry about everything, you have to do it one by one."

Do you still need me to advise?Who is not in a hurry to put this matter on?
Besides, if you want to persuade, it's not my turn.You probably already advised me, right?

If the matter is not resolved, persuasion is useless.The matter is settled, it's fine if you don't persuade him.

Uncle is a big man, even if he persuades him, it won't be my turn.Unexpectedly, now I have such a big role.

Of course, Jia Min won't bother with them now.

Just like with the members of the Jia family, he is not angry with them now.

According to their values, this is the knowledge now.In the foreseeable future, Jia Min did not expect any changes from them.

Whether they understand themselves or not, it doesn't matter to Jia Min now.

Just like this time when Xue Pan went to Zhili, he always avoided Jia Min.Afraid that Jia Min would reprimand him.

In fact, his worries were completely unnecessary.

Jia Min was not interested in reprimanding him at all, complaining that he didn't listen to his words at the beginning.If he is still as red-faced and thick-necked as Xue Pan and Baoyu, he will be too low in his own level.

Even the emperor doesn't care about what he thinks of him, how can Jia Min have the same knowledge as them?
In the past, he also hoped that others could understand what he did.Now, Jia Min understands that this is purely wishful thinking.It's also completely redundant.

One's own ideas and practices are bound to be misunderstood.

A real strong man does not need others to understand, what he needs is others to follow and look up to.

Wang Ziteng's conversation was over, and two powerful soldiers came out.

Wang Ziteng introduced Jia Min, one is General Luo and the other is General He.

Jia Min's previous official title was guerrilla, one level lower than general.However, Jia Min became a guerrilla at the age of 17. In terms of future, he is actually much bigger than the two generals in front of him.

However, that was in the past.Jia Min doesn't have any official position now, only a grassroots person.

However, the two generals were very polite to Jia Min.Not only because he is Wang Ziteng's nephew, but also because of Jia Min's previous name.

Being a guerrilla at the age of 17, being able to win the great victory in South Wendura, daring to oppose the emperor to start a war, and finally being right, such a person is hard not to be famous.

"Arrange some food and drink, I'll drink some wine with brother Ming."

Wang Ziteng explained to his wife, and went into his quiet room with Jia Min.

"Sit whatever you want, Brother Ming. Your mother has already told me about Baoyu. He said that you agreed to rescue Baoyu, which is very good. I am very pleased that you can do this."

"It's always a brother. Others can stand by and watch, but I can't ignore it."

"Brother Ming, in a person's life, how big an official you are is actually not that important. When you are young, you will take these things very seriously. When you are old, you will feel that these are not that important."

"I understand how uncle feels."

"Oh? You understand, tell me?"

"It's probably similar to the feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold at a high place."

"It's about the same. However, I'm talking about me. You young people, you still have to have blood. People, you always have to go through this period. When you reach my age, you will know that a person lives a lifetime. It's the most important thing."

"Thank you uncle for your teaching."

"Master Jiang told you, right? What are your plans?"

"I want to know what uncle's plans are?"

"The emperor sent me this errand this time, it's vague. But it's just a few things."

"The first is to rescue the prince and princess, the second is to talk about peace, the third is to recover South Wendura, and the fourth is to consolidate Bukui."

"Of course, rescuing Baoyu and Brother Xin is our own business. Let's see, which one should we do first?"

"First rescue the prince and princess."

"Oh? Tell me why?"

Wang Ziteng asked Jia Min why, which didn't surprise Jia Min.

A big man like him, who is used to seeing things, no longer cares about specific facts and details when he looks at people and things.

What they care more about is the logic of your thinking and behavior in doing this.

Small people do things, the result is more important than the motive.For big shots, motivation is more important than results.

"First, rescuing the crown prince and princess is a public matter. After this matter is completed, an explanation can be given to the emperor as soon as possible, which will play a role in preempting others. Even if the matter in the future is slow, it can still be perfunctory."

"Secondly, the prince and princess have been rescued. In the future game against the Tatars, we will have less constraints and can have no scruples."

"Third, after rescuing them, tell them to leave Vendura earlier, so that we can act independently there, without being restrained by them."

"Fourth, it is relatively easy to do this, and it can be effective as soon as possible."

"Fifth, it will take some time for Baoyu and Brother Xin to investigate and investigate, and it is a private matter. Although it is done in secret, if the news leaks, it will be private before public. If someone makes a fuss about this matter, it will be detrimental to uncle after all."

When Jia Min said this, Wang Ziteng couldn't help but secretly startled.

This is almost a perfect solution.

Now that he is in danger, he needs to make achievements in this trip.Give all parties an explanation.This proves that the emperor employs people properly and his own ability.

Rescuing the prince and princess first is undoubtedly the best gift.

It is almost certain that he has the emperor's eyes and ears by his side.If you let the prince and princess go, save your own son and nephew first, even if you rescue the prince and princess next, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Your own son and nephew are even more important than the emperor's son and daughter, what do you think?
This is not a question of family affection, but a question of loyalty and infidelity.

The emperor can endure corruption, he can endure incompetence, but no emperor will ever endure disloyalty.

"Okay, it's up to you to handle this matter. However, you can't act too hastily. Besides, it's fine for both of you and me to know about this matter, and the family members don't tell it."

"I see, uncle."

It saves a lot of trouble talking to the insider and the wise.

Although Wang Ziteng's few words at this time seem simple, the information contained in them is very rich.

First of all, he handed over the matter to Jia Min.As for what method Jia Min used, he didn't care.This is hands-off use.

There is no instruction from the left and the reminder from the right, which shows that he fully recognizes Jia Min's ability.

Tell him not to act too hastily, there are tricks in it.

It meant that he had to wait until he arrived at Bukui before he could rescue the prince and princess.It's too early, and it doesn't work.

This is not because he is afraid that Jia Min will steal his limelight, but to consolidate his position, and also for Jia Min's sake.

After all, Jia Min has no official position now, and he is only helping him in his personal capacity.

As for not telling the family, it is to avoid being disturbed by the family.

In the eyes of the family, the prince and princess are not as important as the family.If you don't save your own people first, but save others first, there will always be people who are dissatisfied.

It is also possible to be careless and thankless.

The food and drink came out quickly, and Mrs. He was very knowledgeable, so she asked someone to put the food and drink in the quiet room, so Jia Min and Wang Ziteng chatted while eating.

"Brother Ming, what do you think of the peace talks?"

"First of all, I am against peace talks. Second, I am not against peace talks."

Jia Min expressed his opinion without thinking.

"Oh? Didn't you resolutely oppose the war before? Now that the war is over, why are you opposing the peace talks?"

"It wasn't anti-war before, but I didn't want to fight hastily. To be precise, it was a cautious war. What I opposed was an uncertain war."

"Now, the opposition to the peace talks is because we don't want to sign an alliance with the Tatars. The Tatars will spit out everything they eat."

"Their conditions are too harsh, and the imperial court is destined to be unacceptable. If they accept it, what face will there be for the Celestial Empire? The most important thing is that this will set a very dangerous precedent."

"If the Tatars succeed in blackmailing, the north, northwest, and even some vassal states may be ready to move and follow suit. This will cause endless troubles, and the imperial court will be exhausted in the future."

"The Tatars proposed peace talks at this time, but it was actually a last resort."

"Their battle line is too long. If they go deep into the Han territory, their troops will be scattered. If they fortify the walls and clear the country, their supplies will also become a problem. If they went south in one go, they might be able to reach Shengjing directly, and then threaten the imperial capital."

"However, after Erdaojiang was blocked, they became afraid and hesitated. At this time, if they want to go south, they have lost the best time."

"Although the professionalization of the Tartar army is higher than that of South Wendula, it is still a soldier and a civilian. The next season is when they will store winter pasture, and many soldiers will go home to work."

"Northern Vendura is sparsely populated and the labor force is tense. One hundred thousand cavalry is not a small number. This is their main labor force. At this time, they have neither the strength nor the intention to go south. It is possible to bluff and make some feints. Large-scale attacks, they are powerless Initiate. Don't worry about it."

"Besides, even if they want to attack, Erdaojiang will feel sorry for him with our military regiment."

"Since that's the case, why don't you oppose the peace talks?"

Wang Ziteng looked at Jia Min with interest.
