Chapter 154: Instigation (1)

Cloth for women?

What do you mean?

Doesn't it mean that this guy thinks that Lao Tzu is essentially a hidden women's clothing boss?

Chen Kai doesn't quite understand the intention of the mouse beard, in terms of identity, he is now the prefect, but the Zhangzhou Mansion is still in the hands of the Qing army, he still lives in the small courtyard of the Nanao General Town Mansion on weekdays, the four subordinates two years ago, and now they are still the four, among which there are two women, but with their identity, it is impossible for the mouse beard to find someone to find such a precious cloth to give them.

"Tell me, is there any rumor on the island?"

"Ugh." The rat whisker swallowed, but in the face of Chen Kai's gaze, he had to tell the truth.

In the words of the rat whiskers, there is a crazy rumor on the island that Chen Kai is discussing marriage with the Zheng family. As for who it is, there is no accurate statement, after all, the Ishii Zheng family is also a big family, and there are not a few women of the right age. However, no matter who it is, it is impossible for Chen Kai to disagree, so the matter of becoming the son-in-law of the Zheng family is probably a foregone conclusion, and the rat beard naturally has to work harder in advance.

"You, it's enough to do your own thing."

The value of these pieces of cloth is not something that the moon of the rat's whiskers can support. Whether it was embezzlement on weekdays, or whether it was using public funds this time, Chen Kai did not investigate, but just told the mouse whiskers that the things were stored in the warehouse, and he would send someone to buy them when he needed them.

"Joining the army, the humble position is just to repay your kindness."

"If you do things well, you will repay the official, those crooked and heretical ways, it is better not to get involved, it is not beneficial." Speaking of this, Chen Kai's frowning brows were also soothed a little, and then he said to the mouse beard: "The surname of the country said earlier that he would prepare a dowry or something for the official, because the little moon of the official really can't afford to marry the daughter of the Zheng family." ”

It would be an exaggeration to say that they can't afford to marry, at least most of the fathers and brothers of many school-age women in the Ishii Zheng family don't have too high status, and the dowry will not be too scary. But since Zheng Chenggong said it, then the father and brother of the woman chosen by the Zheng family are afraid that their status will not be low, and it is estimated that at least there must be an official position above the general army to be able to meet this statement.

As soon as these words came out, the rat beard was stunned for a moment, and then after a moment of envy, he immediately expressed his loyalty to Chen Kai's trust, and said that he would definitely obey Chen Kai's orders and never touch those "crooked and oblique", and the persuasion seemed to be greater than just saying.

After leaving the military uniform manufacturing workshop, it was already the hour of duty on weekdays, and Chen Kai simply went back to the headquarters to rest. However, when he was waiting for dinner, the little maid who only followed Chen Kai on Nanao Island on weekdays reported to Chen Kai some recent movements on the island, including the gossip.

"The villain has checked, it shouldn't have been transmitted to the island from the outside, but where exactly did it come from, the villain is incompetent."

"It's okay, no, no one is sure who it is?"

"Yes, the head of the family, it's just rumors, they have noses and eyes, but no one has a definite statement." Speaking of this, the little guy remembered something, and then said to Chen Kai: "It seems that there are many claims that it is Cheng Jibo's son-in-law. ”

Cheng Jibo Zheng Zhibao, Chen Kai has heard of it, but he has not seen it. This person is Zheng Zhilong's fifth brother, who is famous and famous, and has been in the national prison, which is almost the same as Zheng Chenggong's early experience. However, this person was the leader of the Zheng group who was ordered by Zheng Zhilong to lead the main force of the Ming army in Fujian to surrender to the Qing Dynasty with Shi Fu.

"There are thirty-seven-year-old people, so it is not new for thirty-two or three to return to their hometowns to care for the elderly."

Chen Kai didn't quite understand why it had become like this in just over a month, whether there would be Zheng Chenggong's meaning in this, or the handwriting of Dong Yougu, who left Nanao Island like a fugitive that time, it is really difficult to say. However, he already had a white head appointment with Zheng Xiyuan, and no matter what, he had to do something.

This matter needs to be mentioned when he sees Zheng Chenggong, but now is not the time, at least when the matter in Guangzhou is so urgent, it is really inconvenient for him to go to Zheng Chenggong for such a thing.

After dinner, Chen Kai put this matter aside as much as possible, and after eating, he returned to the study, took out the information sent by Lin Cha that Chen Bao handed him earlier, lit the candlelight, and pondered carefully.

Lin Cha's intelligence was that Chen Kai set off from Hong Kong more than ten days late, but it turned out to be sent to Nanao Island first, just the day before Chen Kai arrived, there were more than ten days less travel along the way, which also made Chen Kai speechless for a while. But he can't do anything about it, the era of sail warships is like this, many times it depends on luck, Zheng Chenggong alone has encountered bad luck in his life I don't know how many times.

Chen Kai didn't plan to waste any more thoughts on this matter, because he knew very well that he couldn't do anything about it. However, it is an indisputable fact that the situation in Guangzhou is still deteriorating, and there is less and less time left for him, and he must act as quickly as possible.

………………

"According to the information sent back by Lin Hou and Chen Senjun, in the past few months, the Tartars were either attacking the city or recruiting rebels. In the past few months, Ma Jixiang on the Zhaoqing side did not move, and Ma Bao and Guo Dengdi sent troops to recover Qingyuan County and failed; The captive division attacked Sanshui County west of Guangzhou, and He Wuyu organized more than 100 large and small warships of the general soldier Chen Qice and Zhang Yue's land division to meet them, but they were defeated by the Tartars, and Sanshui County was lost; Sanshui fell, and the loyal battalion sent troops, but was attacked by Chen Bangfu in collusion with Tusi, and returned to Guangxi in a rage, and then even Chen Bangfu did not move......"

One piece of information came out of Shi Lang's mouth, and some of it was nothing more than ridicule, nothing more. When he was under Li Chengdong's command, he chased the Yongli Imperial Court all the way like a lost dog, Ma Jixiang and others were all defeated generals, and even Chen Bangfu wrote a letter to Li Chengdong asking for surrender at that time, ready to shave his hair and lower his hair, if it weren't for Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu, and Chen Bangyan's rise up, I am afraid that Chen Bangfu would have to have another wonderful performance when Guangdong changed dramatically.

As for Ma Bao, Zhang Yue, and Du Yonghe, Fan Chengen and others who were squatting motionless in Guangzhou, they were also familiar with each other. However, now is a different time, although they have not developed much with Zheng Chenggong, it is better than these Li Chengdong's generals who are getting worse and worse.

Sometimes, happiness just doesn't make sense.
