"I'm afraid that the fourth uncle can't stop him, that's terrifying."

Thinking like this in her chest, Dong Yougu also knows that her husband, if she is definitely a rare figure in the world in terms of intelligence, even if she doesn't say it, she may not be able to think about it.

"I hope it's like what my husband said, but the fate is still small after all, so let's not talk much about this matter."

In the face of this confidence, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. Asked tentatively here, Zheng Chenggong thought about it and replied affirmatively: "There is still more than half a year to be a sixteen-year-old girl, which is not small, but this matter still depends on the mind of Chengcheng, and it is not good for a husband to mess with the mandarin duck score." ”

Some things can be settled in just a few words. What's more, such things, as far as the current situation is concerned, are just small things, and there is no need to waste too much time on them.

After resting for a few days, Zheng Chenggong set off for Jieyang, and at the same time, the letter went down the Hanjiang River and was soon delivered to Chen Kai's hands, which coincided with Chen Kai's self-coincidence, so he simply set off, and transferred to a carriage in the capital of Chaozhou, and went to Jieyang County.

Long before Zheng Chenggong arrived, Zheng Hongkui's youngest daughter had already arrived here to reunite with her father. Compared with last year, his daughter has grown taller and taller, and she is becoming more and more like a big girl, Zheng Hongkui is very happy. The joy of reunion diluted the gloom from earlier, but with Zheng Chenggong's subsequent arrival, the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere was suddenly depressed.

The knot in this is also Zheng Hongkui's. Some time ago, Zheng Chenggong swept the southwest of Chaozhou, captured Dahaopu in advance, and eradicated the forces of Zhang Li, a local tyrant in Dahaopu. However, because Zhang Li chose to surrender after the two villages were broken, Zheng Chenggong did not embarrass him and his family, just to leave a generous reputation for other Chaozhou tyrants.

Originally, this matter was like this, Zheng Chenggong led the army to continue to sweep the southwestern counties, but at this time, Zheng Hongkui sent someone to congratulate Zheng Chenggong, and at the same time, he also proposed to let Zheng Chenggong send Zhang Li to see him.

Earlier, in the process of Zheng Hongkui's seizure of Jieyang County, he had a conflict with Zhang Li, Zheng Chenggong originally thought that it was his fourth uncle who wanted to be angry with Zhang Li, and it was okay to vent it, and he did not doubt him, so he sent Zhang Li over. Who knew that as soon as Zhang Li arrived, Zheng Hongkui sank his person into the water, and wrote to Zheng Chenggong that Zhang Li was drunk and fell into the water and died.

The reason why this is the case is that during the struggle for Jieyang County, Zhang Li once plundered the family of Zheng Hongkui's staff member Chen Siming, and Chen Siming asked to kill him in order to avenge his family.

Zheng Chenggong quickly figured out this matter, and even regretted it. It's not that I cherish Zhang Li's talent, it's just that Zheng Hongkui has done this thing a little too much, not only does he have to hide it, but more importantly, there is no impermeable wall in the world, so that he is put into it - the world will not think that it is Zheng Hongkui's handiwork, but will think that Zheng Chenggong is faking others, try to ask if he surrenders and rebels in the future, which one will dare to surrender?

This incident broke Zheng Chenggong's established strategy, and it was also contrary to Chen Kai's general strategy of treating people leniently. For this matter, although Zheng Chenggong did not accuse his uncle, he also left with a snort a few days ago, so that Zheng Hongkui originally hoped that Zheng Chenggong would help to pacify the gray and white village and other places, but Zheng Chenggong did not help.

It was the beginning of May when I said goodbye, Zheng Chenggong had sent a general to escort the girl over, but he didn't come by himself, and when Zheng Chenggong came back after half a month, it was obvious that the anger had disappeared. After arriving, he directly sent Shi Lang to lead the left pioneer town to attack the gray and white village, and helped Zheng Hongkui greatly deter some local bandits in Jieyang.

"Brother Sen is still towards his father."

"Hey, I know, he's taking care of the past."

The whispers of the father and daughter are finally a lot more relieved. At least, in Zheng Hongkui's view, no matter what, it is not as good as the interests of the family, and Yu Zheng Chenggong has a family affection that is not father and son but father and son. But the problem is that even if he is a biological father and son, Zheng Chenggong has never changed his original intention in the face of major rights and wrongs, let alone their relationship. Fortunately, it seems that Zheng Chenggong was a little unhappy at the time, and after a few days, the anger will naturally pass.

However, this side is still rejoicing, Zheng Chenggong, who has just captured the gray white village, is facing a new problem, that is, there are bandits to belong to him.

"The surname of the country, Cai Yuan, the chief military officer of Xinheng Town, has more than 1,000 commands, and he has some combat power. The last general has persuaded him to return, and he is waiting for the appointment of the national surname. ”

Cai Yuan, the chief military officer of Xinheng Town, is the local tyrant on the side of Xinheng Town, Xinheng Town is located in the northwest of Jieyang County, its people are not bad, more than 1,000 people under his command, and he also has some combat power, Zheng Hongkui occupied Jieyang County and was restrained by a large number of local bandits in Jieyang, so he failed to sweep all over the country like Zheng Chenggong, including the existence of Cai Yuan.

Attachment was originally a good thing, but this time the problem was that this person was persuaded by Shi Lang, and it is even said that it was because Shi Lang broke through the gray and white village and was deterred by his prestige, but it became a potential problem.

"Then let him pick five hundred elites and appoint him as the deputy general of the rear battalion of the Left Pioneer Town. Xinheng Town also asked him to choose a cronie to continue to guard the town. ”

"The last will obey."

Shi Lang left the big tent happily, but Zheng Chenggong's face was a little gloomy. After more than a year, the army was vigorously expanded, so that Shi Lang's troops did not occupy too large a proportion, and then Chen Kai recruited the brothers of the Wan family, and suddenly one more town came out, which further compressed the proportion of this Shi family's army. But now it's good, Cai Yuan showed his admiration for Shi Lang, and he could only classify Cai Yuan as Shi Lang's general. In this way, the originally compressed ratio has been raised again.

"Tell the country's surname, Chen has joined the army."

Just when he was worried, Chen Kai hurried over. For this reader, who has helped him solve problems and relieve pressure many times, Zheng Chenggong has always trusted him, and even welcomed him out.

"It came at the right time, and I have something important to discuss with you."

The important thing in Zheng Chenggong's mouth is not just a Cai Yuan. In the past two months, Zheng Chenggong swept through the southwest of Chaozhou, and even the three counties were subdued, and everything he went was smooth, which can be described as a good situation.

However, among them, there are still those who refuse to be attached, such as Su Li, one of the seven great heroes of Chaohai, and Chen Junge of Ou Ting Village, they all have a certain strength, Zheng Chenggong is planning to solve these two opponents, but the Jieshi Wei occupied by Su Li has actually entered the territory of Huizhou Mansion, once the army enters Huizhou, it will inevitably cause the contradiction between Huang Yingjie, the chief soldier of Huizhou, to expand, and may even attract Li Chengdong's revenge, which is now only 15,000 or 6,000 soldiers. It is really a big thing for Zheng Chenggong's subordinates to guard this half of Chaozhou.

"From a topographical point of view, taking Hepo Town, Fengshun Camp and the area east of the Luohe River, our army will have a defensive advantage in the direction of Huizhou Prefecture."

Pointing to the map like an ink painting, the three places Chen Kai pointed to are the county seats and urban areas of Jiexi County, Fengshun County and Lufeng City in later generations, especially Lufeng City, which is already in the west of the Jieshi Acropolis. Occupying these three places, from the geographical point of view, you can rely on the mountains and rivers as a barrier, which is similar to taking the watershed to the east.

Zheng Chenggong understands this, but it is involved, especially on Lu Feng's side, which clearly bullied Huang Yingjie's head, causing infighting in the Ming army, which is not a good thing after all, not to mention the strong background of the opponent, and it is not a role to mess with.

"Forgive the official for bluntly saying that cannibalism is not beautiful in the end. Even if Li Chengdong is hostile to our army, it is not good to make this move first. In the final analysis, our army is a dignified and royal army, and we must always follow the right path. As for the near future, it is better to take Hepo Town and Fengshun Camp first, and at the same time divide troops to solve the problem of Outing Village, which are all under the jurisdiction of Chaozhou Prefecture. The rest, let's talk about it. ”
