According to Chen Kai's instructions, under the supervision and management of the rat whiskers, the military uniform tailoring workshop quickly completed the expansion. The original tailors entered the rhythm of making cardboard and tailoring military uniforms only for officers at all levels, and the workload increased, but as those female workers quickly adapted to the division of cutting and sewing under the standard size, a pair of sleeves, a front heart, a back heart, a collar, and sleeves were constantly cut out of the cloth, and then another group of people was responsible for sewing, and the production speed of military uniforms was almost ten times faster than the previous one, or even dozens of times!

The price of hiring a tailor and hiring a female worker can be said to be very different, after all, this person with professional skills is always more popular than ordinary people. But for Chen Kai, it is better than Ye Yiyun's original plan to hire a large number of tailors to save a lot of money, and it can also be used to increase the income of some people in Nanao City, which can be described as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

The production of ready-to-wear clothing in the military uniform tailoring workshop is carried out at the fastest speed, Chen Kai did not expand its scale too much, because Zheng Chenggong's army expansion speed has been calculated by him, although the current scale is slower, but it can also be completed at a very fast speed.

There is no competition, and Chen Kai does not need to be so anxious for quick success, everything is carried out in an orderly manner under his arrangement. However, after this incident, he suddenly found that there seemed to be no need for any emerging industries to drive regional development, and he wanted to expand and scale some of the original industries, and many things were naturally on the right track. Even immigrants may not be needed, most of the strong laborers have gone to war, and there are still a large number of women in the city and on the island, and they can do many things!

On the island of Nanao, a new trick is playing out again. After Chen Kai's return to Nanao, Zheng Chenggong's troops also moved eastward quickly, and soon left the area of Chenghai County and went straight to the Huanggang Fort in Raoping County.

Huanggangbao is located in the southeast of Raoping County, adjacent to Zhao'an County in Fujian. This place has built a walled city in the Song Dynasty, there is a patrol inspection department in the early Ming Dynasty, and later it is to rebuild the fortress, the inside and outside of the city are all made of stone, the circumference is more than 1200 zhang, open four gates, it is a quite important military fortress in the eastern part of Guangdong.

According to the rebellion of the local bandit Huang Hairu, who had been a small official, when the Ming army, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he entangled a large number of villagers, bandits to make trouble here, and even once captured Chenghai County. Later, he was smoothed and lowered, and compared to Li Chengdong, he was probably one worse in terms of process, and he was the most capricious villain.

When Zheng Chenggong focused on Haiyang and Chenghai counties, he just asked Chen Bao to send people to persuade him, and Zhu Yao directly chose to join him, but Huang Hairu never moved. When Zheng Chenggong's army pointed east this time, and just appeared in the control area of Huang Hairu, the latter ran directly in front of Zheng Chenggong's army, saying that he would be guilty of everything, and if anyone stopped him, he would give people an endless posture.

Relying on her thick skin, Huang Hairu was forgiven by Zheng Chenggong. However, after entering Huanggangbao, Zheng Chenggong did not hesitate to transfer some of Ding Zhuang and Minyong here to enrich the troops, and even the families of these people were moved away, making it clear that he wanted to weaken Huang Hairu's power.

Compared with Zhu Yao, Huang Hairu is indeed not a reassuring character, and Zheng Chenggong also believes in him. On the contrary, Huang Hairu not only strongly supported it, but even expressed his willingness to serve under Zheng Chenggong, even if it was just to lead Zheng Chenggong's horse and kick.

After appeasing Huang Hairu, Zheng Chenggong did not agree to his request, but just asked him to continue to guard Huanggangbao, nothing more. Because Zheng Chenggong's direction of entering the Chaozhou area was different from history, Huang Hairu lost that meritorious service, and also lost the superior performance of immediate annexation, Zheng Chenggong's trust in his people was greatly reduced.

After leveling Huanggang Fort, Zheng Chenggong led his army to attack the Fenshui Pass. It is the junction of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, "connecting Wufu in the east and Liangguang in the west", and the ancient road passes through the city. The fortress is located in a gorge in the middle of the mountains, the terrain is high and dangerous, and it can be called an easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The water-dividing pass circumference is 370 meters, 5.3 meters high, set up 2 gates in the east, 1 gate in the west, there is a fort in the city, it is the second year of the Apocalypse by Zhou Lijiu Gong of Zhao'an Zhi County.

It is far away from Fucheng, but it is only more than 20 miles away from Zhao'an County, Fujian. As the chief soldier of Chaozhou, Che Renzhong once sent troops to occupy the once unguarded Guancheng after Li Chengdong swept Fujian and Guangdong, forming a two-sided attack on the local tyrants and thieves in the south of Chaozhou.

However, first because of the rapid suppression of the Jieyang County Yiwang army, he was so arrogant that he was uncomfortable to find Wu Liuqi, and then after returning from defeat, he was conspired by Chen Kai in the process of licking his wounds in Fucheng, and Chaozhou Town, which was once expected to unify Chaozhou, was completely shattered.

Knowing the death of Che Renzhong, the Chaozhou town soldiers on the water dividing pass did not have time to make a sad expression, so as to perfunctory the spirit of the former commander in the sky, they resolutely chose to defect to the arms of the Qing army in Zhao'an County, a neighboring province, under the strong pull of Huang Hairu.

Now, it has been guarded by the Zhao'an Qing army, and the original Chaozhou town soldiers have not been restored, and this place is also an important pass that Zheng Chenggong is bound to win.

Zheng Chenggong already had the intention of relying on his martial arts to deter the local forces of Raoping, and local bandits such as Huang Hairu and Zhu Yao were also invited. It is precisely because of this that the army dispatched as many as six towns, in addition to the left and right towns, Qinding Town, Zhongchong Town, Zuochong Town and Left Pioneer Town all followed.

The army approached, persuasion to surrender to no avail, wolf smoke rose from the city, presumably on the side of the city, there were already several fast horses galloping to Zhao'an County, more than 20 miles away.

"Stubborn."

Spit out this cold killing intent, Zheng Chenggong just waved his hand, and the left and right guards immediately launched an offensive against Guancheng.

The city was very small, and the defensive surface was naturally reduced a lot, and as the Ming army launched an offensive, the steel behemoths on the forts in the city began to erupt into a roar.

Fortunately, there is only one fort, and there are very few shells that can be fired. However, the terrain here is really not conducive to development, and the city wall of just about 100 meters, the Qing army defending the city has concentrated more forces here when it is determined that there is no Ming army outside the city in the east.

The Ming army did not carry any more effective siege equipment, and the defenders focused all their attention on the improvised ladders. The huge stone was thrown, and a Ming soldier who didn't have time to protect his head was smashed down. Under such a fortification apparatus, the helmet was not much stronger than paper.

The first wave of the offensive was very unsmooth, but Zheng Chenggong did not show any displeasure, as if everything was under his control, but he regarded the "observers" such as Huang Hairu as an unknown reason.

After a short rest, the second wave of the offensive soon began, and the Ming troops of the brigade swarmed up with simple ladders. However, this momentum is not small, but it still has not produced any effective results, not to mention the side, not even the head of the city wall, let alone the first climb. But Zheng Chenggong was still the same in this regard, especially when the third wave of the offensive was about to restart after a longer period of repair, as a fast horse galloped from the direction of the mountains north of the water dividing pass, he showed a hint of intriguing smile.
