Speaking of which, Chen Kai was also seen by Zheng Chenggong back then, but within a few days, Chen Kai proved his ability, and in the following days, he continued to give confidence to those who were willing to fight.

For Wang Jiang's appointment, Zheng Chenggong still needs to continue to consider. Especially as for whether King Lu will go south to join him, Zheng Chenggong is not too inclined to this. But he still has some interest in understanding these Zhejiang Ming soldiers who have been brought back to the center and left by Chen Kai.

"Are these guys going to be captured?"

"Yes, but I pondered, I still have to have a heart to punish the past and the future, cure the disease and save people, slaughter the leader, and spare their lives."

"Well, you can't let the Tartar's sailor recover too quickly." Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong remembered a word: "The power of the sea is the word you said before." Wang Shi's current advantage is that he is a water master, which is indeed an inch that cannot be compromised. ”

The Zheng group was originally a naval division in the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, and with the naval division, it could achieve rapid mobility, and the Qing army could only be beaten passively.

These sailors of the Zhejiang Ming army will not strengthen the Fujian Ming army's sailors much, but they can curb the recovery speed of the Qing army's sailors, and Zheng Chenggong is still very satisfied with this. However, in the past six months, the Qing army's naval division has not been without generals and veterans who are good at naval battles, Shi Fu and Cai Xing and his fleet, although the scale is small, but there is still a threat to the coastal island strongholds of the Ming army.

"Now that our army has controlled Haitan Island, I plan to continue to expand further northward, and strive to control all the islands in northern Fujian, so that the captive division cannot find out the sea situation, and our army can also attack from everywhere......"

Zheng Chenggong's Qing army on the southeast coast was always in an offensive posture strategically. This stems from its advantage of controlling the sea, but once it penetrates inland, the Ming army's maritime superiority will be rapidly weakened, and today's Chaozhou is the best example.

“…… That's the case in Chaozhou. I originally planned to march into Quanzhou to set up an ambush, but now it seems that I can only return to Chaozhou and try to defeat Hao Shangjiu and Su Li first. ”

The decline of the Ming army in Chaozhou has appeared, the north and south lines, the Qing army's offensive is very fierce, and then there is a dispute between the Turks and the Turks caused by the division of land and tuntian, if the problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, and the Qing army and those locals are deterred, the Ming army's rule in Chaozhou Mansion for many years will collapse in the internal and external difficulties.

Historically, Zheng Chenggong had withdrawn from the Chaozhou battlefield a month before the attack on the Zhongzuo Institute. Therefore, when he won consecutive battles in southern Fujian, there was no military and political pressure to face in the Chaozhou direction.

Over the years, Chen Kai has greatly strengthened this army, making their achievements on the battlefield in Fujian more brilliant, containing and killing more Qing troops, but it has not yet reached the level of qualitative change. However, Chaozhou was after all a jurisdiction under the jurisdiction of Guangdong, and the Ming army now had to face military pressure from the Qing army in both provinces at the same time, and there were huge problems such as the dispute between the Turks and the Turks, which became a burden that made it impossible for Zheng Chenggong to continue to implement his strategy in southern Fujian.

"Da Mu, the good situation in southern Fujian is about to open, isn't it a pity to give up like this?"

Chen Kai is talking about the facts of the moment, and through the fog of history, he also clearly remembers that Zheng Chenggong should have a big victory this year, thus opening up the situation in southern Fujian and entering the rhythm of rapid siege of the city. Let's not talk about how this rhythm was interrupted, because Chen Kai didn't know if he could save that situation, but if he simply gave up the current good situation because he foresaw the disadvantages that might arise in the future, then what was the difference between it and choking on food?

Hearing Chen Kai's questioning, Zheng Chenggong sighed. Chaozhou has been recovering for a long time, and manpower, grain and grass, taxes, and supplies can be said to be the most stable supply place, which is the foundation of this Ming army, and is not inferior to this center and left. Now that the collapse of Chaozhou is imminent, if we go to solve the local problems as soon as possible, we may be able to ensure the safety of this control area; But if he can't get his wish, I'm afraid that even if he captures the capital city of Zhangzhou, and the ripples of Chaozhou's collapse spread to southern Fujian, he will have to face the siege of Qing troops in two or three provinces at the same time, and the odds of victory will only be lower!

"There is no way anymore, Chaozhou is a place that our army must defend, and we must not lose ......"

In the past six months, Zheng Chenggong's strategy for southern Fujian was planned by Zheng Chenggong, and now the situation is extremely favorable to the Ming army, so he gave up, and Zheng Chenggong felt the most uncomfortable. But there is no way, in the environment where the enemy is strong and I am weak, everything needs to be difficult, and there is such a big problem in Chaozhou, and there is no way to abandon the previous achievements.

Again, the center-left has become. I will leave you a few towns of troops, if you have spare strength, send troops to harass the two prefectures of Xiazhangquan, maintain your prestige, and wait for me to come back!" ”

Zheng Chenggong's face was sad, Chen Kai just looked at him like this, and he was about to open his mouth a few times, but he still didn't say anything. It wasn't until a long time later that Zheng Chenggong began to be surprised by Chen Kai's performance, but he took a deep breath and replied categorically: "Zhejiang's Wang Shi is finished, and the governor of Jiangxi doesn't know how long they can hold on. This year is the last good opportunity to open up the situation in southern Fujian, and we must not give up lightly. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Kai's eyes no longer have half hesitation, that firmness was the same as when he advised Zheng Chenggong to enter Chaozhou and rescue the people of Guangzhou, even if it gave Zheng Chenggong the dawn of piercing the black curtain.

"We want to recover the lost land and restore the world of the Han family, and we must not stop when we walk. If you can trust me, then I will go to Chaozhou to take charge, and Damu, you will continue to attack the captives in southern Fujian. ”

If Zheng Chenggong can trust one person wholeheartedly, then in this Zheng Group, except for Chen Kai, he will no longer think about the second person. However, the situation in Chaozhou has deteriorated so badly that Zheng Chenggong has found it difficult to deal with it, just by Chen Kai alone, even if he is capable, I am afraid that he may not be able to deal with it.

At this moment, Zheng Chenggong's hesitation, Chen Kai all saw in his eyes, the victory of southern Fujian could not be broken, this was what he firmly believed. For Chaozhou, he is indeed not 100% successful as Zheng Chenggong expected, but whether it is the current situation or the past, even if there is only a 1% probability of success, he will do his best to give it a try.

"Of course I won't venture alone, Damu, you have to be given the patrol mark camp to me, and give me full authority on the battlefield of Chaozhou. In addition, I want Wang Jiang and Jiang Meiao too, you can't give it if you don't give it! ”

played a scoundrel-like tone, but Zheng Chenggong was particularly moved when he heard it. Wang Jiang and Jiang Meiao were brought back by Chen Kai this time, and the patrol standard battalion was originally a unit under Chen Kai, and it was only used as a city defense force in the center and left in the past six months, and he did not participate in the offensive on the battlefield in southern Fujian. As for the full power of the Chaozhou battlefield, this is even more deserved, otherwise if we can't fight together, how can we possibly withstand such internal and external difficulties?

Up to now, Chen Kai still has not moved a soldier in various towns, and even if Chen Kai hadn't gone on such an experience, I'm afraid that even the helpers would only be the five hundred soldiers patrolling the standard battalion. Obviously, Chen Kai wholeheartedly longed for him to be able to open up the situation in southern Fujian, and even did not hesitate to increase his own pressure for this. The person who travels with him in this way is the true brother who can really give his back to others with confidence, and he has gone beyond the scope of blood.

"In that case, on the Chaozhou side, I will entrust it to it." Standing up, Zheng Chenggong bowed his hand, and then added: "In addition to what you want, I will also send you to help suppress Houzhen." If you can't save the situation, please delay it for as long as possible until I open up the situation in southern Fujian. ”

Zheng Chenggong was like this, Chen Kai also stood up and replied: "Please fight with peace of mind, and the lower officials should do their best!" ”
