In the southwest of Chaozhou, there are three counties of Puning, Chaoyang and Huilai, as well as two health units of Jinghai Institute and Haimen Institute. This area is mostly plains, of which Puning is connected to Jieyang in the north, Huilai is crossed by Danan Mountain in the south, and Huilai is Chaoyang County at the mouth of the Rongjiang River to the east, and the two guards are located in the coastal areas of Huilai and Chaoyang counties respectively.

This area is located on the Chaoshan Plain, and the local people mainly live on fishing, agriculture, and handicrafts, and the government and people of successive dynasties have also vigorously targeted the reclamation of the beach, especially in the Ming Dynasty, which accelerated this process.

Speaking of which, these three counties have always been subordinate to the Chaozhou government, and since Zheng Chenggong entered Chaozhou, he has also recovered these three counties with great destruction. However, with the shift of the strategic focus of the Ming army, Huilai County was captured by Suli, the chief soldier of Jieshi, who was entrenched in Jieshiwei, and Chaoyang County was also independent under the condition that Chen Bin, the chief military officer of Houjin Town, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The Ming army only controlled Puning County in this area.

The Ming army stationed five towns in Puning and Jieyang, north of Puning, which was already a rare heavy army group. But their opponents, Su Li and Chen Bin, had an army of more than 10,000 people. In this, Chen Bin's command is still the garrison of Chaoyang County and the former Houjin Town, with only 1,500 soldiers and horses, and he has not carried out any action to expand the army this year, it is nothing more than to supplement the shortage and protect the territory and the people. And the rest are all the troops under Su Li's command, this nominal Jieshi general soldier, if it comes to the strength of the army, even the admirals of the Qing court provinces are far less than the direct government.

Su Li's existence is a huge threat to the Ming army in the direction of Puning, and the same is true for Chen Bin in Chaoyang. Not to mention, after Puning hit the wall again and again, Su Li did not have the idea of taking over from Chaoyang, where he was stationed, but he was rejected by him again and again, and even sent someone to Guangzhou to seek the support of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao on the grounds of preventing Su Li from becoming bigger.

On November 21, Chen Bin left Chaoyang City and went to the former Dahao Village. This used to be the nest of the Seven Great Kou Zhangli of Chaohai, but now it is just an extremely ordinary village. When Chen Bin arrived here, he was invited to come and entered the village, where there were already people waiting in the house that originally belonged to Zhang Li. Chen Bin stepped into it, and after about an hour's effort, he left this place and returned to Chaoyang County, but the worry on his face was better than when it came, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

After returning to the county seat, Chen Bin did not return to the camp or home, but went to Chaoyang County Ya. The magistrate of Chaoyang County is still the same Chang Yifeng. This person was the magistrate of the county when Zheng Chenggong recovered Chaoyang, and the official reputation was good, so Zheng Chenggong did not move him, and when Chen Bin rebelled, the magistrate of the county, who sat on the official of the Ming Dynasty from the Qing Dynasty without any entanglement, changed the court again and followed Chen Bin to the Qing court.

Officials like him were the most uncommon in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. If the Ming army suddenly goes berserk, they are not afraid to turn back to the Ming court. In the final analysis, what is clear and clear, being an official is the most important thing, otherwise in the ten years of cold window, the clan's full support, where can these efforts be rewarded?

Seeing Chang Yifeng, the county magistrate is still handling official business. Obviously, Chang Yifeng was a little surprised by Chen Bin's arrival, but Chen Bin always seemed to be insincere, and the two didn't talk for too long, so Chen Bin said goodbye and left, which made Chang Yifeng a little confused.

After leaving the county office, Chen Bin returned to the camp. The former Houjin Town has now changed the name of Chaoyang Town, and the generals and soldiers in the army have also changed to the gray-blue number of the green battalion soldiers, and their hair has been shaved, as if they are Qing Army.

On the school ground, the soldiers were still practicing step by step. But in Chen Bin's eyes, he always felt weak, and the ingredients of posturing were more than strengthening those muscle reactions, and even those officers turned a deaf ear to this.

Such a scene, if a year ago, Chen Bin would definitely be like thunder, and he should not punish a few guys in public, so that other officers and non-commissioned officers can take it as a warning, then it is called fresh. But today, he is not very willing to manage too much, on the one hand, there are more important things in his heart, and on the other hand, there is a change in mentality - at the end of last year, Chen Bin chose to descend to the Qing, although Houjin Town is all local people in Chaozhou, and few people follow Zheng Chenggong from southern Fujian, but there are still a lot of escapes. He doesn't know what those who escaped did when they fled back to the area controlled by the Ming army, but most of those who stayed were mixed up, and even he didn't have such thoughts. Since they are all mixed food, it's just a matter of turning a blind eye, what else do you have to worry about?

The once high-spirited slap has now become much more decadent, and this is just a year away, who would have thought of such a situation today.

After patrolling the camp, Chen Bin did not live in the camp, so he went straight back to the mansion. Since following Zheng Chenggong, he has been promoted from the leader of a township to the chief military officer, and the biggest influence is the clan and family. The people in the house, a master, immediately saluted when they saw it, and when they entered the inner courtyard, their wives and concubines had already come out to greet them, and they were dressed in silk and satin, and they were already like the demeanor of a large family.

"The boy has seen Daddy."

The son behaved like a ritual, obviously under the teaching of Mr. and those mothers-in-law who knew etiquette, and took off some of the roots of his Chen family's original mud legs.

For this son, he is the most favored. Thinking that in Chenghai back then, he followed Huang Hairu to capture the county seat, and then was expelled by the local tyrant Yang Hu not long after. Huang Hairu was defeated like a mountain, but he carried his son, who was only three years old at the time, in the city and killed seven in and seven out, and finally held a sharp axe in the hole of the city gate, while killing people, he cut down the city gate, and then walked away, so not majestic. It is precisely because of this martial courage that he made a great reputation in Chaozhou, and when Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai entered Chaozhou, one fell in love and went straight to the high position of chief military officer.

Chen Bin is conceited and brave, thinking back to those old things, his heart is still surging. Everything he has now is all based on his own bravery, and Ping Suri is also the most proud. Unexpectedly, today, seeing these flowers again, but I always felt a little awkward, hastily checked my son's homework, and after dinner in two of three, he went straight back to his room to sleep.

Overnight, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Chen Bin's mind was reminded of the past over the years, and the scenes were projected in front of his eyes like a montage, and even if he closed his eyes, he couldn't stop it.

It was not dawn until the next day, and Chen Bin, who couldn't sleep at all, simply returned to the camp, summoned the paperwork, wrote a letter for him, and sent someone to Huilai County.

However, the content of it was to agree to Su Li's request to attack the Ming army through the road!
