For Zeng Ying, Chen Kai actually didn't like it very much earlier. As for the reason, it is very simple, this person is a person from Linjiang Mansion in Jiangxi, and he was a disciple of Zou Yuanbiao, one of the three monarchs of Donglin in his early years, and he is a very old member of the Donglin Party.

However, this person is not such an empty talker. When he was in the township, he assisted the local magistrate and county to govern the local area; In Changzhou City, he donated money to repair the embankment for the benefit of one party, and was called "Zeng Gong Embankment" for the local people; During his tenure as the patrol of the Zhangnan Branch, he exterminated the bandits and bandits on the troubled side; During his tenure in Huguang, he suppressed peasant uprisings; When he was the governor of Denglai, he also fought against the Qing army. In addition to working with the eunuchs, he is not a complete "talking about his heart on weekdays, and repaying the king when he dies", he can be regarded as an official who is willing to do something for the local people.

But for the Donglin Party, Chen Kai is very vigilant. At the beginning, it was more out of officialdom etiquette, and this person had tried to protect Zheng Zhilong and had an extremely close relationship with the Zheng Group. But this time guarding the left office, Zeng Ying spared no effort to help, and with his identity, he persuaded many gentry inside and outside the city to give food.

With such help, Chen Kai also understood that since Zeng Ying had already wanted to stay in the city and cut himself, he was a person with a heavy name, so Chen Kai was very relieved about this person, because this person was already in his prime, and it was a great reputation to be able to come out and do things, especially once the city was kept, he could easily gain great fame. For such an old and refined character, it is the easiest and least risk-taking method, and even when he asked Chen Kai for his life, he made it very clear.

During this period of getting along, Chen Kai's senses were much better for this old Donglin. But today's words, his vigilance against the Donglin Party resurfaced, but his face did not show it, showing a slightly thoughtful look, saying that he would pay attention to this matter and did not say anything again.

With a nervous mood, Chen Kai set off, and the Ming army was mixed with infantry and cavalry, but the distance was only two miles, and there was a Ming army sent troops to meet it, but there was no danger or danger.

In the Ming Dynasty, Shenqian Wo was a harbor where merchant ships gathered, and the government set up "Wojia" here to inspect ships entering and leaving the sea. But now, there are only the warships of the Ming army left, and those merchant ships and fishing boats have escaped clean more than ten days ago, and there is only such a lonely port left, which is no different from other empty seaports on Xiamen Island.

Zheng Hongkui was still discussing on the ship, Chen Kai boarded the ship to pay a visit, and the discussion ended, all the generals went out of the cabin, and even the Lan Deng brought by Chen Kai was also supported by Zheng Hongkui. did not deal with official business first, discuss the strategy of war and defense, but first talk secretly, this is so unusual, less than half an hour ago, Zeng Ying's words immediately appeared in Chen Kai's heart, and he subconsciously wanted to touch the position of the flintlock pistol, but immediately stopped this impulse.

Zheng Hongkui was born in Wujinshi, and with that means, if he wanted to kill him, he would never have any time to reload. What's more, Zheng Hongkui is still Zheng Xiyuan's father, and psychologically, Chen Kai is not as easy as Zheng Zhiguan.

Since this was the case, Chen Kai simply calmed down, saluted Zheng Hongkui respectfully, and asked his people about the further battle situation. The battle situation is indeed there, but Zheng Hongkui doesn't seem to be in a hurry to talk about this, but waits for the others to completely disperse, and only the two of them are left in the cabin, so he takes two letters out.

"You take a look at this first."

Chen Kai got up and took the letter. The envelope of the first letter was blank, but when he pulled out the letter, Chen Kai's face changed abruptly.

"Brother Yugong, seeing the letter is like meeting ......"

Yu Gong is Zheng Hongkui's number, and the person who can call him so must be familiar. Chen Kai's heart was already turbulent, and he continued to read it, the content of which was nothing more than persuading Zheng Hongkui to give them some ships for the convenience of transshipment, otherwise it would only harm Zheng Zhilong and the Zheng family's clansmen in Anping Town.

"What does the Duke of the Kingdom mean?"

The letter was written by Ma Degong, Zheng Hongkui and Ma Degong were old acquaintances, and they had a good personal relationship with Zhenjiang during the Hongguang Dynasty. Seeing this, Chen Kai had basically understood Zheng Hongkui's thoughts, and his heart was angry, but he asked with cold words, but Zheng Hongkui shook his head and motioned for Chen Kai to read the second letter together.

There was already such a letter, and Chen Kai pulled out the second letter, which was also not unexpected by him. As for the content, it's just the title of "Zhifeng My Son" at the beginning, and he doesn't need to continue reading it.

Zheng Hongkui, this name was specially changed by Chen Kai's father-in-law, Lao Taishan, when he took the martial arts examination, and his original name was Zheng Zhifeng. There will be no one else who can call him that, only Zheng Chenggong's grandmother, Mrs. Huang.

Chen Kai knew that the old lady had never been a fuel-efficient lamp, last year Zheng Chenggong seized Xiamen Island, holding Zheng Lian, Zheng Cai and the families of their generals, Zheng Lian's department immediately changed the court, and even many of Zheng Cai's generals did not insist on leading the department to attach even a month.

Next, Zheng Cai and his subordinates Zhang Yunfei, Cai Xing, Jiang Meiao and others are estimated to not last long. Unexpectedly, when this old lady Huang learned of this, she specially called Zheng Chenggong to count them down, and then forced Zheng Chenggong to put Zheng Cai's family back, with the righteousness of the whole clan, as a result, Zheng Cai's matter was postponed to this day, and it has never been resolved.

This time, under the coercion and temptation of the Qing army, Mrs. Huang wrote a special letter to persuade Zheng Hongkui, asking him to take into account the safety of his brother in Beijing and the people of Anping Town, and return to Quanzhou with his horse. And Zheng Hongkui's behavior, what his choice is, it is not self-evident.

"Guogong, Ma counterattacked the Zhongzuo Institute and slaughtered the people on the island, and even many of the children of the Zheng family were killed by him. Not to mention, a few days ago, for three days in a row, every day Ma Wei would send someone to pull a Zheng family child to the city to torture and kill, and even the girl who did not leave the cabinet was not spared. This kind of thing is not as good as a beast, do you plan to let him go back and continue to do evil? ”

endured for many days, just to wait for reinforcements, kill all these Qing troops on the island, avenge the suffering people, and give other Qing soldiers a long memory. Unexpectedly, the reinforcements who were waiting for were so weak, and the Qing army would be busy returning to the mountains as soon as the Qing army threatened, how could such a figure expect him to be able to unswervingly fight against the Manchus!

At this moment, Chen Kai was already furious, who knew that as soon as his question came out, Zheng Hongkui was even more angry than him, when he pointed at Chen Kai's nose and asked: "I haven't questioned you yet, you came to question me first." Chen Kai, you are just a member of Damu's staff, why did you kill my third brother, do you still have this Zheng family in your eyes! ”
