It has been nearly a year and a half since the army was raised on Nanao Island the year before last. During this period, Zheng Chenggong attacked Haicheng, besieged Quanzhou, fought Taohua Mountain, encircled and annihilated Shizhai, and fought many battles, but only took a Dongshan Island, or because of the lack of garrison on the island, almost without a fight, and several wars before that, but they were all in vain. It wasn't until this year, with the success of outwitting Chaozhou, that there was a slight momentum in my posture.

Zheng Chenggong's words aroused Zheng Hongkui's curiosity, he has always been extremely optimistic about Zheng Chenggong, and he also believes that with his eyes on people, there will never be anything wrong. Last year's attack on Quanzhou, Zheng Chenggong designed to encircle and annihilate the Qing army in Shizhai is full of spirituality, and then intercepted Wang Jin, although it failed to succeed, but also showed real ability, what was lacking was nothing more than chance.

Dongshan Island is far away from Chaozhou, and it is the easternmost of the occupied areas controlled by Zheng Chenggong, and there are delays and omissions in getting the news, and when Zheng Chenggong wrote a letter to invite him, it is impossible to say in too much detail, so that when Zheng Hongkuifu heard that the capital of Chaozhou was recovered, his first feeling was that this battle was Zheng Chenggong's handiwork, and he would not think about anything else.

In this regard, Zheng Chenggong did not really have any intention of hanging Zheng Hongkui's appetite, and seeing that the latter was curious, he said bluntly: "This time, I was able to outwit the Chaozhou capital city, all because of the plan of the Chen army that the fourth uncle had seen just now, and even the capture of the city, he personally took Ke Chenshu, Du Hui and others to do it together. ”

"That, a weak scholar?!"

Ke Chenshu and Du Hui, these two Zheng Hongkui both knew each other, and they attacked Quanzhou under Zheng Chenggong last year. Zheng Chenggong said this, and Zheng Hongkui was stunned when he heard it, and even the little girl who had been sitting quietly next to Zheng Hongkui widened her eyes, which was full of disbelief.

"Weak?"

Zheng Chenggong shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Chen joins the army and seems to be weak, but in fact, it is not, in the last battle of the city, he personally took Ke Chenshu's younger brother Ke Chenmei plus two strong men in the army to deceive into the Chaozhou General Military Mansion. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Zheng Hongkui couldn't help but shake his head, judging from his sternness, Chen Kai didn't have martial arts on him, but he could do this, could it be that he was wrong?

"The fourth uncle is not mistaken, Chen joins the army and does not know martial arts, but he has deceived Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin enough since he entered Chaozhou City, and even deceived the two of them to really help him do things, and finally killed him in one fell swoop by relying on a sudden attack. Looking back now, he was able to go down from the southwest of the mountain alone, but I am afraid that it is not only the blessing of the emperor's ancestors and ancestors, this person can no longer be described as an extraordinary person, he is really a genius in the world! ”

Next, Zheng Chenggong told the ins and outs of this matter. From the military discussion of Layue, Chen Kai single-handedly overturned the plan set by the generals to attack Tong'an County, to the generous statement of the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil, to the painstaking preparations in the next three months, and then to the trust of Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin by defrauding Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin by taking advantage of the grain shortage in Fujian, every word was heard so that Zheng Hongkui couldn't wait to put his ears on Zheng Chenggong's mouth, lest he miss a word.

"If it is said to be thrilling, I am afraid that even if the final assassination of Che is heavy, it is not as good as confronting the staff of the Guangdong governor's yamen. It's a pity that Chen Senjun himself hasn't talked too much about this matter, and he is not proud of it at all, he is such a character, but there is nothing to blame. But according to the descriptions of Du Hui, Ke Chenshu and Ke Chenmei, I think it was Chen Senjun who argued thoroughly and left in a hurry, and later even Huang Menglin personally accompanied him to meet Du Hui, who had just arrived, and his expression was as if he was greeted as a Shangguan. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Chenggong had unconsciously smiled slightly, but Zheng Hongkui's face suddenly changed, and then he shook his head with a whim, obviously thinking how ridiculous his whim just now.

Zheng Chenggong saw all this, but he didn't say anything. When Chen Kai first arrived on Nanao Island, he also doubted his identity, not only him, Chen Bao and Hong Xu, these two henchmen who once had a very stiff relationship with Chen Kai, but now they have already released their previous suspicions, and they also expressed that it is not credible to travel thousands of miles alone, but now that I look at it, as he just said, I am afraid that it is not just the blessing of the emperor's ancestors and ancestors.

The thought was fleeting, and Zheng Chenggong immediately began to talk about the rest of the matter. went to the banquet alone, and continued to dispel the guardiness of the car between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, but when he saw the woman's death with his own eyes, he dared to set up a game the next day, and even fought hard. Such a person is indeed worthy of the reputation of a peerless national warrior.

The thrill of outwitting Chaozhou was gradually told word by word by Zheng Chenggong, and many of the details were not very clear because he was not present at the time, but when it came to the present, the three people present all fell into silence. It wasn't until a long time later that the girl said something very abruptly.

"This Chen joined the army, and he has the style of a Spring and Autumn countryman."

The people of the Spring and Autumn Period, regardless of civil and military, usually they "cultivate virtue and discuss the Tao", lecture on etiquette and music, make suggestions, and manage national politics; In wartime, he was stubborn and stubborn, and he died on the battlefield. Up to now, the scholars can't even do the saber study tour encouraged by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, but they are like women, holding incense fans, rubbing incense powder, and thinking they are elegant.

The girl's eyes flashed wide, and she seemed to really see a national warrior from two thousand years ago from the story Zheng Chenggong had just told. It was Zheng Hongkui, who was still nodding subconsciously, but he nodded halfway, but he frowned, and asked his daughter: "Yuanyuan, I said earlier, I want to read more "Female Rules" and "Female Commandments" when you have time, are you secretly looking at those ancient books in my study again?" ”

Zheng Hongkui forced a displeased expression, but looked at his daughter's little face that clearly said "exposed", but he wanted to laugh a little. At this time, when Zheng Chenggong persuaded him to read more, it would be good to do so, and the little girl even pouted and explained to Zheng Hongkui: "Daddy, my daughter did the homework her mother instructed, so she took advantage of the rest time to take a look, don't be so stingy." ”

"Hey, you girl, I can't help you, go back and ask your mother to clean you up."

Zheng Hongkui smiled and shook his head, his little daughter is the most favored by him on weekdays, and in front of him, she is naturally not as well-behaved as in front of her mother. However, this little daughter is still young, and he is also afraid of being too controlled, and he will lose the liveliness and cuteness under the knees of Chenghuan too early, so he will inadvertently indulge.

It's just that I'm afraid it won't last long, because when my daughter reaches this age, she should also be married. Adapt to those rules early, so that you won't displease your in-laws in your in-laws' house in the future, and then laugh at them Even if the Zheng family is rich, they are essentially still those pirates.
