Chapter 48 Mergers and Acquisitions (II)
This is an unreasonable assumption, not because it is unreasonable to assume this kind of thing, the key is that Chen Kai has the least reason to defect to Zheng Cai - let the national hero not hook up, but go to a guy who doesn't know the specifics, especially when the national hero is still down, and this guy has tens of thousands of troops and occupies important places, he has huge potential in the original shares and does not buy, lack of heart!
Of course, the facts are like this, but you can't say that, especially if you don't say anything like "I look down on you Zheng Cai" or something like that, you still have to save face for others, after all, even if the business doesn't work, it's still benevolent and righteous, and now the business is still doing, and you must have professional ethics.
Chen Kai didn't answer immediately, and Zheng Cai wasn't in a hurry. There was no answer for a while, Zheng Cai also wanted to hear a more reasonable plan, this matter came to an end for the time being, Zheng Cai simply went back to the mansion - a small courtyard, a little dilapidated, it is said that it was built by Qi Jiguang when he fought against the Japanese, but it is not easy to say whether it was built by pirates, and today this island is not as good as the original for fishermen to shelter from the wind, and some people have settled here, but there are not many of them.
Cai Xing and Jiang Meiao had already been ordered to arrive, but once Chen Kai was mentioned, there was no need to say much, then Cai Xing drew his knife and wanted to go to the merchant ship to slaughter Chen Kai, but Jiang Meiao grabbed his arm and bluntly said that he would listen to Zheng Cai's orders.
"The national prince has already decided, with Zheng Sen, well, with the surname of the country. In this matter, Chen Senjun discussed with me on behalf of the country. Chen Senjun is a figure who can call the shots, and there is also the ancestor who will also vouch for it, and the national prince has already made arrangements for the two brothers and the soldiers under our command, so the two brothers will not have any objections, right? ”
After Zheng Cai's words were finished, Jiang Meiao was not yet good, and Cai Xingdang even expressed strong opposition. According to him, Zheng Chenggong and his people even dare to kill their brothers, and there is a big problem with character and credit, and he is also a waste in the nest. Throwing it over like this, even if Zheng Chenggong agrees at this moment, who knows if he will settle accounts after the autumn, even if it is not a clear sword, in other people's land, he deserves to be played to death.
Cai Xingyang said a lot of things, which are nothing more than various reasons for strong opposition. In this regard, Jiang Meiao still didn't say a word, silent and refused to take a stand, until Zheng Cai asked, he replied, "This matter has not yet been decided, if the surname of the country is unwilling or what Chen Senjun said does not count, it is too early for us to think nonsense" and continued to talk to him.
"Okay, your surname is Jiang, and now you are in a hurry to change the court, I think Lao Tzu is wrong about you."
was inevitably furious, if it weren't for Zheng Cai's stopping, Cai Xing would almost have drawn a knife with that Jiang Meiao. Until the end, Zheng Cai was already tired, and only one sentence was left: "Brother Cai, Brother Jiang, the trend of the times, and it depends on the sincerity of the country surname." This thing, so be it. "And that's how it was settled.
The second general left Zheng Cai's mansion, and Zheng Cai ordered his troops to strengthen the defense of the port, especially Chen Kai's merchant ship. At the same time, the letter was sent out, and the matter was settled as quickly as possible.
The letter galloped on the sea, came with the wind, went with the wind, during which it encountered a day and a half of unhappiness, but did not delay too much of the trip, and soon from Matsu to Xiamen, and then from Xiamen back to Matsu, to be sent to Zheng Cai's case before and after, Zheng Cai's expression suddenly became bitter and painful.
"Guogong?"
"Go and ask Chen to join the army."
The place is not big, the distance is not far, and Chen Kai quickly rushed over. In the letter, Zheng Chenggong expressed his apologies to Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's brothers, and even said that he would give further preferential treatment on the conditions agreed to by Chen Kai, such as Cai Xing, Jiang Meiao and others will be transferred to his command, and they will also be treated equally, just like Yang Chaodong and other generals. In addition, Zheng Chenggong's grandmother also expressed the hope that he would come back as soon as possible, and the most important thing is that the family is together.
"Ishii Zheng, Gao Pu Zheng, I can't write two Zheng characters in one stroke."
Just like Chen Kai and Zheng Cai said when they bargained, Zheng Chenggong's grandmother's mind is the same. Chen Kai is very disgusted with this old ancestor, because she always mixes state affairs with family affairs, and she can't seem to tell the difference at all. But it is undeniable that such an old man, dedicated to the family, caring for future generations, even if he has passed through the spectrum, can be treated equally, and his existence is actually an indispensable key element that enables the entire Zheng family to be cohesive as a whole.
Zheng Cai confirmed in front of Chen Kai that he would set off early in the morning after cleaning up tomorrow, and ordered Cai Xing and Jiang Meiao to sort out the things that needed to be carried. Unexpectedly, that night, Cai Xing led his troops to leave Matsu Island, and according to the results of Cai Qiao's observation on the bow of the ship, it seemed that he was heading in the direction of Fuzhou.
"The twisted melon is not sweet, how can I love it."
This thing is inevitable, Zheng Cai has no intention of restraining it, and Chen Kai doesn't know anything about their attitude, so it can only be like this. After understanding the situation, Chen Kai didn't say anything, but Zheng Cai's old things were brought up again, and after thinking about it these days, he also answered accordingly.
"First of all, you can tell your uncle bluntly that you would never go to Uncle Yu at the beginning. The reason is very simple, I, Chen Kai, am just a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, and I haven't even passed the boy test, even if it's not a literary, or a martial artist. When I get to you, I don't have to think about getting reused at all, and you're not as eager as your country's surname, so there's no assumption in that at all. ”
"Don't hide Yongshengbo, when Xia Guan first arrived in South Australia, because he was in charge of the weapons workshop, he was once not on good terms with Chen Zhongyong, Hong Zhongzhen and Chen Zhongjing and other generals, but even so, we can unite under the banner of the national surname, do our best, and be loyal to our duties, not because of our noble character, but because the national surname has always adhered to the right path and is loyal to the monarch and the country, we can do so."
When Chen Kai said this, Zheng Cai was in a rare anger in recent days, and even asked Chen Kai: "The right way? Attacking and killing a clan brother is the right way? Is it the right way to hold your brother's family hostage? ”
is like Zheng Hongkui letting the horse go, this matter can be said to be a scar between Zheng Cai and Zheng Chenggong that will never want to be healed. Since this is the case, Chen Kai simply said bluntly: "At the beginning of that year, when I went to Nanao Island, I gave advice to the surname of the country, and said that all Zheng will return to one. Later, the surname of the country assisted the Marquis of Fu Ming, wooed the Shi family, and even agreed that the Ordnance Bureau would work on the production of military uniforms for the Duke of Ding Guo and your ministry, in fact, they were all rebuilding the Zheng group step by step. ”
"Brother Ling's matter, at that time, he was busy rescuing the people of Guangzhou, Zheng Zhiguan, Shi Lang and others were planning for the country. I'm not afraid of my uncle's anger, in fact, if this matter was planned by Zaixia at that time, the most I could do was to save my brother's life, and the others would not be much different from Shi Lang and Zheng Zhiguan, because only when the Zheng group is reunited, can the national surname have the power to compete with the southeast captive division as quickly as possible. ”
Many people lamented that Zheng Zhilong was not able to use his maritime strength to confront the Qing court, and considered it an unwise choice. But at that time, Emperor Longwu was good at power, as the leader Zheng Zhilong, the fourth brother Zheng Hongkui, and the clan brother Zheng Zhipeng were all national dukes, and one family and three dukes were good, but they were dividing the Zheng group; The court relied on Zodiac Zhou internally, and recruited He Tengjiao as a helper outside, and even tried his best to encircle Zheng Zhilong's eldest son as a backhand. From beginning to end, Emperor Longwu never trusted Zheng Zhilong, all of which was to prevent Zheng Zhilong's family from becoming dominant and threatening the imperial power. And Zheng Zhilong, a person who wants to learn from Cao Cao's narrow son of heaven from beginning to end, has no national righteousness in his heart, and when Emperor Longwu tried to get out of control, it was not surprising that he fell to the Qing army.
"Even if you don't mention these, assuming that you go directly to the uncle to listen to the dispatch, the uncle can also be as trustworthy as the country's surname to the next, and the strategy under the next will not be much different from what the uncle himself did - change to the Lu Domain, and cooperate with the Lu Domain to recover Fujian, such a grand strategy is not necessary to be modified, because this is the most reasonable and appropriate strategy at that time. However, the uncle refused to contribute to the use of troops, but he still wanted to control King Lu in his hands, and even did not hesitate to use a series of means to intensify the contradictions. ”
"If you could do it all over again, would you be able to assist King Lu with peace of mind? Yes, there is no need to do anything in the future, at least the recovery of Fujian Province is not an unattainable thing, and the recovery of Fujian Province, the four provinces of Zhejiang, Guangdong and Jiangxi will inevitably be shaken, and the examples of Li Chengdong and Jin Shenghuan do not need to be detailed below; If you still can't, how much I can help you in the next is in vain. To put it bluntly, all along, you want to learn from Taishi, but you don't know that in such an era, national contradictions are greater than all contradictions, Taishi is originally wrong, you are just wrong on top of wrong. This has nothing to do with the national surname, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
