Chapter 92: Old Things (4)
When he said goodbye to Wanli, Chen Kai was already walking on the road in the direction of Guanpi Town towards the water dividing pass. The leader surnamed Dong hurriedly rushed back to Changlin Temple, and happened to meet Wan Li and Lu Ruoteng who were rushing down the mountain.
Guanpi Town is Wanli's hometown, and his adoptive father Zhang Zi is a wealthy local businessman, and he is also quite influential in the area near the left of Guanpi Town. After just a little inquiry, he figured out Chen Kai's movements, and then hurriedly chased after him, and finally caught up with Chen Kai and his party at noon.
"Chen joined the army, I have been living in the mountains for a long time, and the news is blocked, forgive me, forgive me."
On the way to catch up, Lu Ruoteng had already made it clear to them, and with the addition of the leader of Nadong, the Wanjia brothers were convinced. In Lu Ruoteng's words, Chen Kai is clearly the No. 1 civil official under Zheng Chenggong, and his ability and intelligence are all the choice of the moment. Others, don't think about it at all, even he is ashamed of himself.
"It doesn't have to be this way."
After replying, Chen Kai saluted Lu Ruoteng: "Xiaguan, Qin ordered the loyal and filial uncle to recruit the general to give the surname to the successful command, join the army and manage the military weapons bureau, and the Zhangzhou Mansion knows Chen Kai and meets Lu Shangshu." ”
Lu Ruoteng is here, Chen Kai really didn't expect it, and even if he thought of it, he wouldn't think that he must know everything about him. Originally, he only planned to rely on pretending to be crazy to hang his appetite, to lure them to understand him, to discover him, to enter the atmosphere and rhythm dominated by him, and then to take him down. Now it seems that Nanming is not only a pig teammate, this Lu Bodhisattva just did something good unintentionally.
Zheng Chenggong has changed the Yongli Emperor to the orthodoxy of the Emperor Ming, and the others are just gone, Lu Ruoteng just did him a big favor, Chen Kaizi is still commensurate with the official position of the Longwu Dynasty, and the etiquette when the lower officials meet the officials.
Lu Ruoteng was very kind, and before Chen Kai really bowed down, he stepped forward, helped him up with both hands, looked at it carefully, and then praised loudly: "I heard Dingguo Gong say that there is a person like Chen Joinjun in the national surname. Some time ago, I heard about the deeds of Chen joining the army to outwit Chaozhou City, which really showed the momentum of our emperor Mingshi, and strengthened the righteous courage of heroes, so that those scum who were committed to slavery were ashamed! ”
For Chen Kai, Lu Ruoteng's praise is very high, but the fact is that so many years have passed since the Qing army entered the customs, and there are really a few people who can do what Chen Kai is doing now, the key is that Chen Kai is not only good at governance, but also wise and brave, that is, Lu Ruoteng heard about it and made friends.
Returning to Changlin Temple again, Chen Kai was no longer the uninvited guest, but was treated as a guest by everyone. But Chen Kai didn't ask for it, and invited Lu Ruoteng, the Shangshu and Wanli, to sit on the throne, he just succumbed to it, which also caused everyone to sigh, especially this humility, which really won Lu Ruoteng's favor.
At the beginning of the reception banquet, Wan Yi, Wan Lu and others, who were hostile to him earlier, were also respectful, and even asked him to tell him about the process of outwitting Chaozhou. In this regard, Chen Kai did not exaggerate too much, but sought truth from facts, and made a slight artistic exaggeration in some details, which also caused everyone's surprise, especially Na Wanlu scratched his ears and cheeks, looking like that, he really wanted to enter the Chaozhou City with Chen Kai at that time and do this dangerous thing!
At the end of the banquet, everyone came to the apse, and Chen Kai chatted with them about the current trend of the world. Fujian, they know a little, the main force of the Tartars went south, the Ming army of the Lu Jianguo system retreated to Zhejiang, and the anti-Qing movement in northern and central Fujian has entered a low ebb, and there will not be much chance for the time being.
"The main force of the Tartars retreated, but in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, the Tartars still have relatively strong strength. For example, Zhejiang-Fujian Governor's Standard, such as Hangzhou's Eight Banners, not to mention Fujian and Zhejiang's Fubiao, Upgrading Standard, Jinhua Town Standard, Dinghai Town Standard, Fujian Left and Right Road Town Standard. ”
"On the Jiangxi side, Jin Shenghuan is also elite anyway, but now he is being besieged by the Tartars in Nanchang City. Relying on the rebel armies from all walks of life in Jiangxi is not enough to break the siege, the key is to look at Li Chengdong in Guangdong. It's just that Li Chengdong wants to relieve the siege of Jiangxi Wangshi, but he first has to cross the Nanjiang level, but it is not an easy thing. ”
Chen Kai's analysis opened the eyes of these rebels who were surrounded by mountains and closed to news. Everyone looked at Chen Kai's eyes, and they were also full of admiration, and there seemed to be some fear mixed with them, probably because of the heavy task of killing the car.
The general trend has been talked about, in order to depict to the Wanjia brothers a situation in which all the surrounding beings who are more powerful than Zheng Chenggong are in a situation of clamping each other, and it is the moment when Zheng Chenggong's department has made great achievements. With just a hint, their eyes couldn't help but become eager, and after a few glances, the "radio waves" swayed through the apse, and after a while, Wan Li stood up and bowed to Chen Kai.
"The surname of the country is a good man who can be counted in our southern Fujian, and our brothers have admired him for a long time. Today, there are heroes like Chen Senjun who personally recruited us to Chaozhou, which is the honor of our brothers. What Chen Senjun said, we don't have a word, just prepare and follow Chen Senjun! ”
"Nanjing Shen Wansan, Beijing Dead Tree Bend - the name of the person, the shadow of the tree."
Fame, for the first time, promoted the progress of the project, Chen Kai did not think about it, and even made a game for it, but the extent was far beyond his imagination.
With the promise of Wanli, looking around at everyone, they are all happy. The Wanjia brothers have been in trouble for many years, and they still control this area of three things, not to mention that it is compared with Zheng Chenggong, even compared to those rebels in northern Fujian and central Fujian. It was not just a matter of luck that they were brave enough to be brave but still not developed, and the failure of this attack on Zhangpu made them clearly aware of the gap.
In this world, not everyone has a chicken-headed and phoenix-tailed entanglement. Managers of small enterprises and ordinary employees of large enterprises can learn more things, broaden their horizons, and be more promising for future development, which is understandable. What's more, Zheng Chenggong's banner is not only the man with the surname of the country, but the Chen Kai in front of them is also an existence that can bring great influence!
The matter was finally finalized, and Chen Kai also breathed a sigh of relief. The attachment of Shi Jiajun is both a help and a pressure for him and Zheng Chenggong, especially for him, because he knows very well that with Shi Lang's temperament, that guy will sooner or later become a shameful dog traitor, and he does have a set of things in naval battles, which is very unfavorable to the Ming army, which is good at sailors. Because of this, he has to find ways to neutralize the threat, or keep it within a tolerable range.
Under Zheng Chenggong's banner, Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding's civilian officials took him as the first step, and there were also the Ke brothers and Du Hui in the army, even Chen Bao, Hong Xu and others also had kindness to him. However, compared to Shi Lang, it is far from enough. Fortunately, now, with the joining of Wanjia Brothers, everything will be different.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, like-minded people in southern Fujian worshipped. In the front, there were "Eighteen Zhi" headed by Zheng Zhilong, and in the back, there was "Eighteen Thousand" with ten thousand gifts.
I always feel that there is a feeling of idol combination in front, three of Mengmeng, eighteen of Mengmeng, it seems to be about the same, and the latter is a lot more vulgar, 180,000, is it Hu 100,000, or Hu 80,000, how to listen to how to think about mahjong
However, whether it is "Eighteen Zhi" or "One Hundred Hundred Thousand", they are all ruthless characters of that era. The former is not to be mentioned, led by Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of the Fujian Sea, and even if the others are not under Zheng Zhilong, most of them are pirates at that time; And the latter, Wan Li will become one of the most important generals under Zheng Chenggong in the future, that is, Wan Yi and Wan Lu are also the commanders of the army alone, and even the Taoist monk, I am afraid that he is not an ordinary person, according to Lin Dezhong's words from the mouth of the Dong brothers, the common name used by his people when they worship is called Wan Yunlong.
