After arranging the affairs, Chen Kai's official ship set off from the Tianzi Wharf in the south of the city. The boat is still going along the channel of the Pearl River, this waterway he has walked I don't know how many times, the hills and villages on both sides of the river, even if you close your eyes, you can guess that it is not far from ten. But every time you pass by, there is always a fresh scenery that makes people dizzy and look forward to it.

There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Standing on the deck, the sea breeze blowing the placket of the official uniform, Chen Kai vaguely remembered that his first close contact with Guangzhou was the rescue of Yongli in the fourth year, relying on Lin Cha's naval combat ability, relying on the head of the rebel general to knock on the door of Guangzhou City......

"It's so far away, so far away that some details don't seem to be remembered too clearly."

With a smile on his face, the official ship sailed all the way out of the Pearl River estuary, and in Hong Kong, he transferred to a larger sea ship and went straight into the sea.

Sailing on the sea, fast is hundreds of miles a day, slow up is not negative, you can recite Amitabha. The ship was traveling on the waterway off the coast of Guangdong, and Chen Kai didn't care much about the time, because there were too many roads to the point that they couldn't be counted, and they had already lost the interest in calculating one or two days earlier or one or two days later than the last time.

In this way, all the way to Lieyu Bay on Nanao Island, the ship carried out the necessary supplies and rest on the wharf. Chen Kai did not get off the boat, because the place where Zheng Chenggong invited him to meet was not the place where they started, but Hong Xishan, the chief military officer of Nanao Town, got on the boat and had a polite conversation with Chen Kai. It's a pity that Chen Kai's mind is still reminiscing about the eventful years of the year, whether it is the production of weapons on Nanao Island, or the frightening steps when outwitting Chaozhou, it is always more interesting than the etiquette in the officialdom.

Hong Xishan's courtesy ended quickly, and the supply and rest of the ship on which Chen Kai was traveling was also announced the next day. Pulling anchor and setting sail again, it had turned to the northeast, and after Dongshan Island, Chen Kai could already vaguely see the outline of the Golden Gate when he boarded the deck again. It is conceivable that after that, of course, was the center-left station where he once fought.

That period of time was not long later than the rescue of Yongli four years, Chen Kai had no intention of looking back, and the ship did not choose to stay in Kinmen or Zhongzuo, but went directly to Fuzhou.

After some time, Chen Kai finally came to the provincial capital where he once sat and assisted Zheng Chenggong in sweeping Fujian. It was also the first provincial capital city recovered by the Zheng Group, a few months earlier than Guangzhou. This arrival, on the contrary, lacks a feeling of revisiting the old place, and more of the urgency of the matter.

The sea boat slowly docked at the wharf, stepped on the pallet and got off the boat, waiting for him only had a carriage and a guard cavalry team, and the cavalry Chen Kai who led the team had a vague impression that it should be a personal guard of Zheng Chenggong earlier, but it was far less conspicuous than Li Chang, Huang Chang, Cai Qiao, and Sister Yang, but the impression was still some.

"General Chen, recruit the general to handle official business in the mansion, and let the last general come to greet him."

"I'm tired."

The carriage was empty, Chen Kai said a word, stepped on the stool and got into the carriage, and let the coachman drive to the destination under the protection of the escort cavalry.

"General Chen, recruiting generals, and greeting the ......"

Smacking these words between his lips and teeth, turning them over and over, some are just the official affairs of the superiors to the subordinates, indifferent and unfamiliar, not at all as warm and affectionate as before. The attitude of this guard captain is obviously a projection of Zheng Chenggong's attitude, Chen Kai knows very well that there are many things he needs to explain to Zheng Chenggong, and it is likely that Zheng Chenggong has also discovered something. Or, today's is just a reminder to his subordinate who has a big tail, don't go beyond his duty.

Specifically, Chen Kai still didn't know anything, and recalled the words he had thought of on the road in the carriage, and then closed his eyes again, which should be to nourish his spirit.

The carriage soon arrived at Zheng Chenggong's mansion, and Chen Kai's entourage was all placed in the post house, and he was the only one who entered. Under the guidance of the captain, Chen Kai soon came to Zheng Chenggong's official room, just as he did not go to the dock to greet him before, and he did not wait outside the gate.

"It's a good time for me to take a break and change my mind."

Sitting up straight and stretching, the servant placed the chair opposite Zheng Chenggong's case for Chen Kai, and then retreated by himself.

"Country surname ......"

Hearing this title, Zheng Chenggong looked at Chen Kai carefully, but suddenly smiled: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but I have become a student." Subsequently, Chen Kai, who was slightly embarrassed, had to resume his previous title, but the gap in the middle still did not disappear.

Chen Kai was invited by Zheng Chenggong, and at the same time, he also needed to report his work in person after not meeting for such a long time. Speaking of which, in the past half a year, although the two have not met, but the exchange of letters has never been interrupted, until the eve of this time Chen Kai also wrote to Zheng Chenggong, talking about the preparations for the war and some actual conditions in Guangdong.

In a blink of an eye, four months have passed, the war has ended, Chen Kai has achieved the original strategic goal, Hong Chengchou has also achieved the strategic goal he originally set, but both sides are facing a more severe situation, which is beyond doubt.

"Hong Chengchou, I knew that my father's fellow villager was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I didn't expect that such a situation could be partially turned over by him. Fortunately, it turned out to be in Guangdong, and if someone else changed, it might have been completely overturned. ”

Comparing the map, Zheng Chenggong contacted the battle report sent back by Huangshan before, as well as the report document issued by Chen Kai to him when he recovered Ganzhou. There was such an exclamation here, there was no half-meaning at all, Chen Kai had been with him for many years, and he could understand it, but those unfamiliar Xun Xie and self-humility still couldn't help but say it.

This change in the situation was unexpected by Zheng Chenggong, and he thought for a moment, but he did not draw a conclusion about it, but asked Chen Kai some views on Li Dingguo's situation.

"In my opinion, that old relative has been unable to move in Yunnan for the past two years."

"King Qin and Sun can be expected!"

"Exactly."

After all, it was a tiger's mouth pulling out teeth, and it touched Sun Kewang's scales, and the contradictions between the Fuming faction and the self-reliance faction within the Great Western Army were completely intensified, and it was impossible for the two sides not to fight this time.

The southeast and southwest Ming army joined forces for a flash in the pan, and now the southwest Ming army has gone back to infighting, and the southeast Ming army will inevitably return to the situation of fighting alone, in which, there is no lack of Chen Kai's strategy, if there is no Chen Kai's tips, maybe Li Dinghui will lead the army back to Guangxi, maybe there will not be such a war situation now. However, if that is the case, Sun Kewang will inevitably be very difficult to govern, and the main force of the Great Western Army Group called Qin Fan will also be restored to a situation where it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and us, which is extremely unfavorable to the united front.

Chen Kai made his choice, which he had already talked to Zheng Chenggong about earlier. Zheng Chenggong agreed, because the prison of Mr. Eighteen exposed Sun Kewang's usurpation ambitions at a glance, which really made these forces who still had the heart to resist the Qing Dynasty under the banner of the Ming Court tremble.

Chen Kai reported on the current war situation in Guangxi and the southwest, and Zheng Chenggong also exchanged some information about Fujian and Zhejiang. Zhoushan and Taizhou are both within Chen Kai's expectations, because this is what happened in history, but Fujian was fully recovered, and the battle of Huguoling in history probably would not have broken out, but fortunately he had created the direct results of the battle of Huguoling, and directly affected the development of the war.

The two sides have completed exchanges about the current battle situation and have a basic understanding of the external environment they are facing. Overall, the situation is still the confrontation between the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the wounds of the eight years of Yongli are too huge for the Qing court, so that not only did they fail to heal their wounds for more than a year, but they were torn up by Chen Kai.

This was undoubtedly beneficial to the Ming army, Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong had a chat, and they also let down a little guard between laughter. At this time, Chen Kai pondered for a moment, and then said solemnly to Zheng Chenggong: "Da Mu, I want to talk to you about the matter of the Nanjiang Mutual Aid Association. ”

The mutual aid association in Southern Jiangxi played a very important role in the process of the Ming army's entry into the southern Jiangxi region, especially in Ruijin County, where the mutual aid association destroyed the transportation of grain and grass for the Qing army, created rumors, and provided food for the Ming army, and strongly supported Huangshan's capture of the capital city of Tingzhou and the subsequent war.

At this time, Chen Kai said this, and was waiting to talk about his idea of going to Jiangxi earlier. However, when he heard this, Zheng Chenggong's face suddenly turned pale, and then he said to Chen Kaizheng: "Actually, what you should explain to me is not the Mutual Aid Association in Jiangxi, but the Heaven and Earth Association in Fujian!" ”

Heaven and earth will be the same as each other. However, Zheng Chenggong's Tiandi Association in Fujian, which opened his mouth here, really stunned Chen Kai when he heard it.

This was not something he wanted to hide, but it was definitely not something he would confess to Zheng Chenggong in the first place, because he really couldn't put the responsibility for the wanton expansion of the Lotus Hall on Lu Ruoteng and Shen Yanqi. However, Zheng Chenggong mentioned this matter bluntly, and he didn't even plan to let Chen Kai's explanation on it.

"Jiangxi's Mutual Aid Association is actually a subordinate organization of your Heaven and Earth Society."

"The Red Flower Pavilion you built in Hong Kong should be prepared for that Heaven and Earth Society."

"You opposed launching the Jiangsu and Zhejiang gentry before launching a full-scale offensive against Zhejiang, and it was also to preserve the strength of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang gentry and prepare for the expansion of the Heaven and Earth Society to Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the future."

"Lu Ruoteng and Shen Yanqi are also members of your Heaven and Earth Society, and even those societies are actually now the branches of the Heaven and Earth Society in Fujian. And they absorbed the former ministers of King Lu in Fujian. ”

"Actually, how much else are you hiding from me?!"

Zheng Chenggong did not start investigating these things by several societies, but because the problems of several societies exposed all the originally inconspicuous things and connected them.

Zheng Chenggong said so, word by word, in fact, Chen Kai originally planned to follow the introduction of the Nanjiang Mutual Aid Association to talk to Zheng Chenggong step by step. However, Zheng Chenggong not only knew everything here, but also put it on his face clearly, Rao is Chen Kai couldn't help but be stunned.

The four eyes looked at each other, their faces were as heavy as water, and they didn't see the slightest waves. The two of them just looked at each other and didn't say a word. The only difference is that Zheng Chenggong is waiting for Chen Kai's explanation, while Chen Kai doesn't know where to start.

"I'm sorry, but I have to."

After a long time, Chen Kai took a deep breath and said these words quickly, but he seemed to be relieved. From the moment he decided to establish the Heaven and Earth Society without Zheng Chenggong's knowledge, he had already thought that there would be a day when the curtain would be unveiled. It's just that what he didn't expect was that this curtain was finally lifted by Zheng Chenggong himself, and the answer he could give was only such a sentence without regrets.

"Why?"

This is what Zheng Chenggong undoubtedly wants to know the most. For him, Chen Kai has never been just his cousin-in-law, over the years, with the assistance and help of Chen Kai, the Zheng Group started from the small island in South Australia, step by step to re-knead and knead together, and gradually developed and grew in the competition with internal and external enemies again and again, and now has long surpassed the peak of his father's era, and continues to create his own legend.

Chen Kai has never been just a staff member and subordinate, but also his arm and help for many years, and even a brother who can fight side by side in the wolves back to back. Therefore, he strongly advocated that Zheng Xiyuan be married to Chen Kai, in order to further strengthen this relationship.

But now he found that Chen Kai had done a lot of things without him, and even started to lay out the layout since the time when he had to go to Jiangxi at the expense of disobedience. What is it that supports Chen Kai to be like this, is it a thirst for power, with his understanding of Chen Kai, it is definitely not, and doing these things without him will definitely not be a simple anti-Qing Dynasty. This reason, he must know today!

"Damu, you want to know why, I can tell you." is still like water, but the truth that comes out word by word is like an abyss, and Zheng Chenggong is completely sucked in.

"I am Jing'er's inner demon, since the day I shot Zheng Zhiguan, that is, his third uncle, I have no other choice!"
