"Go back to Guangzhou!"

The anger of the crowd in the big tent quickly spread throughout the barracks. They still have this day to make final preparations, whether it is the sorting of personal belongings or the farewell to their families, all must be completed within this day, because at noon the next day they will set off for the Chaozhou battlefield.

Originally, Chen Kai also had such a day, but after he read out the order and boosted his morale, he took the lead in setting off for Chaozhou. There is no time to rest, but there is no need.

Although the mobilized army only has two standard battalions and a town, plus more than 2,000 soldiers, since it has moved, even if it is deliberately suppressing the momentum this time, the relevant people can also see it clearly.

Truckloads of weapons, uniforms, flags, helmets, and other military supplies were taken out of the warehouse, some were loaded directly onto ships, and some were sent to the barracks near the port, where the "beggars" under Jiang Meiao, the "leader of the beggar gang," were happily taking off their tattered clothes, taking a beautiful bath, and then changing into new military uniforms produced by the Ordnance Bureau.

People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, although it shows that the status of military households is underground at that time, but military uniforms are at least more majestic and domineering than beggars' uniforms. Especially in such troubled times, the status of the warrior itself is relatively high, and this military uniform is completely different when it is changed to the body.

The military uniform was changed, the weapons were loaded directly on the ship, and they could rest for a day, although it was too hasty, but Jiang Meiao had already put down his words, this was the first time they were working under Zheng Chenggong's banner, so they naturally had to behave better, and they would be treated better in the future. As for the actual results that could be achieved, Jiang Meiao only used one sentence "This time I followed Chen to join the army to Chaozhou" to completely dispel the doubts of the soldiers under his command - after all, Chen Kai is not a fuel-efficient lamp, which they have seen with their own eyes.

The Ming army in the center and left has already moved, it is not Zheng Chenggong's original plan to intercept Yang Minggao, nor is it forced to move to Chaozhou, outsiders can't understand it, but in the eyes of internal power factions such as Feng Chengshi, it is very clear.

Speaking of which, Chen Kai had just come back, and his butt was not yet hot, so he set off for Chaozhou. At first glance, it seems to be just a hard life, but only the real discerning people know that such a letter is serious, but I am afraid that even Chen Kai's father-in-law, Lao Taishan, may not be able to have it back then.

After getting off duty, he took his son to the dock, and saw those hot spots with his own eyes, Feng Chengshi only felt half cold in his heart. The Ordnance Bureau was polished by Chen Kai, and now he has taken over the Ordnance Bureau, and he is still busy clearing the influence of the post-Chen Kai era, but Chen Kai has become the general system of eastern Guangdong, and is fully responsible for the military and political affairs of the battlefield in eastern Guangdong, which is equivalent to handing over most of the control area of the Ming army to Chen Kai, which is the first person to get such authority under Zheng Chenggong.

Such a character, logically speaking, except for Shi Lang's small-bellied chicken intestines and low emotional intelligence, generally speaking, they have to get along with him, at least they have to get by on face. However, even if the person surnamed Cai is a bastard, Chen Kai picked it up, plus the elimination of Chen Kai's influence in the Ordnance Bureau, there is already a contradiction between him and Chen Kai, it is nothing more than a time before it breaks out.

Fear, there is no need, Feng Chengshi is very confident in his own talents. Besides, he didn't plan to die like Shi Lang, taking Chen Kai as an example, Zheng Chenggong must value people who can do things, can do things, dare to do things, and have responsibilities, and he asked himself that he is not too bad in this regard.

"Let's go, there's no need to look any further."

"But Father, isn't it time to know yourself and your opponent?"

"It's enough to do your own thing. Chen Kai has never been a mad dog like Shi Lang, as long as we take care of it, he won't be like anything. ”

After that, Feng Chengshi didn't care about his always smart son, and returned home on his own. In the study, a proposal and related plans that could make him go further in front of Zheng Chenggong were still being written. And Chen Kai's return made him more eager to complete this work.

………………

His return will inevitably cause an uproar, which Chen Kai had long expected. He really didn't bother to pay attention to the careful thoughts of others.

In the cabin, with the flickering lights, Chen Kai had already begun to have a detailed understanding of the current situation of Chaozhou Mansion - Ye Yiyun, Zhang Jin, Hong Xishan, Guo Tai, Chen Bao and others sent Zheng Chenggong from their different positions, and Zheng Chenggong made replies and orders again and again according to these documents and his ideas.

There are many things worth pondering in these documents, especially about the division of land and tuntian. According to Lin Dezhong's description, many people on the island are accusing Ye Yiyun and Ye Yijun of being so happy. But after really reading these words and recalculating the amount of grain and grass consumed by the people of Guangzhou and this army every year, this is not so much a great achievement, but rather a helplessness, their brothers are forced to be helpless, and Zheng Chenggong is also inevitable.

It's ridiculous to say that it was he who led the Chaozhou strategy back then, which made the Ming army have a stable grain production base; Later, it was also the 110,000 mouths he brought back to eat that consumed the grain and savings produced to the point that the army could no longer afford it.

The dispute between the Turks and the Turks is already a fait accompli within the Chaozhou Mansion. The internal worries are so, and the external troubles are still the two old opponents in the south and the north, it seems that they have been strictly ordered, and it seems that the Qing army has given them a certain material supplement, and the Ming army can support it to this day in the case of the strategic center of gravity turning, even if it is the defeated Zhang Jin, he is indeed doing his best.

"Zhongchong Town, Qianchong Town, Houchong Town, Guarding Qianzhen, Guarding Houzhen, Guarding Right Town, Tieqi Town...... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 6,500 soldiers, only one of the guards was in the north of Chaozhou, and the others were in the middle and south of Chaozhou......"

In terms of defense, at first glance, it seems that there is a problem of weak troops on the northern front, but Chen Kai has only been away for half a year, and he is not ignorant of many situations - Hao Shangjiu is a self-defending thief, and his troops are not many, while Zhang Jin has a mobile force of 2,000 people in Chengxiang, and the northern part of Chaozhou is mountainous, which is conducive to defense. Suli in the south, although he is a bandit, but there are frightening numbers of troops, plus the economy and population of southern Chaozhou also need such a bias, in fact, there is no big problem, as long as nothing happens......

"What a mess, a little worse than expected."

This time, Chen Kai was given full military and political power in the eastern part of Guangdong, and he did not have many chips in his hand, and only one Wang Jiang and more than 2,000 troops with varying combat strength were newly brought into the field. Neither of them seems to be decisive.

"It seems that if you don't use some extraordinary means, I'm afraid it won't work."
