Chapter 62: Internal and External Troubles (2)

Public opinion warfare, or in other words, attacking the heart. Hao Shangjiu is dressing himself up as the liberator of the Chaozhou people, so that he can not only disintegrate the local popular base of the Ming army in Chaozhou, but also consolidate his own local rule, which is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

As an accomplice who was slandered as a Cantonese person, Chen Kai already had the consciousness that once Hao Shangjiu knew about his return, then the mastermind's hat was basically put on.

Through history, as well as the descriptions of people who know Hao Shangjiu such as Shi Lang and Huang Ting, this person is just a self-defending thief. Even judging from the performance of the previous two years and the present moment, it is also not out of this category. But it is such a self-defending thief, but he has also learned to buckle his hat, I don't know if they have always underestimated this man who has always wanted to be the king of Chaozhou in history, or if the current dispute between the Turks has been so troubled that it is enough to stimulate the inspiration of outsiders.

"Let him call, he's not a local, as long as we stand firm, he doesn't have the strength to speak. But if we can't stand on our feet and don't need him, we will also get out of the ground in Chaozhou. It's still the same sentence, striking iron still needs its own hardness! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Kai suddenly felt a hint of happiness. In the past few years, he and Zheng Chenggong worked together to quell the chaos in Chaozhou, and now there is only one Suli left, and its main control area and place of origin are also in the boundary of Huizhou Prefecture, which can be regarded as a marginal existence.

Suppose, if Wu Liuqi or Xu Long were still alive, if they were still active in Chaozhou, the current dispute between the Turks and the Turks would have been set off by such figures long ago. If that is the case, they are afraid that they can only choose to abandon the Chaozhou Mansion and completely retreat to the Central Left Institute. And those recruited local soldiers and generals in Chaozhou will gradually deviate from morality, and the blow and destruction of this army will be unimaginable.

At the end of the military discussion, Chen Kai had a relatively in-depth understanding of the situation in northern Chaozhou. The problem is huge and continues to worsen, but for Chen Kai, who has just returned to Chaozhou, he does not intend to stay here for long - the first stop is here because the situation is the most serious, but it does not mean that other places can be left alone.

Leaving the camp, Chen Kai went straight to the dock. Before leaving, Zhang Jin's defense plan was affirmed by Chen Kai, this army does not have the ability to restore Chengxiang now, but it is still working hard to hold the fortified city of Sanheba and control the waterway of the Hanjiang River.

Zhang Jin is an earl, when Chen Kai came, the number of rites had already arrived, and when Chen Kai left, he did not let him go out of the city to send, and Zhang Jin did not insist too much after giving in, but just asked Shen Ming to send them on their behalf, and he had to continue to rectify the city defense of Sanheba in preparation for the Qing army.

Chen Kai hurriedly walked towards the dock, and Shen Qi followed behind, as if he was a little anxious. When he arrived at the dock, Chen Kai looked back at him, knowing that this person had something to say, so he stopped.

"Uncle......"

The crew members were still busy, and the attachés had been waved back to the ship by Chen Kai, and there was no one around, Shen Ming swallowed his saliva, lowered his voice, and said this. It's Chen Kai, but he always feels a little funny.

"Hmm."

The title of uncle, needless to say, naturally originates from Shen Mingnai's old ministry of Zheng Hongkui. This past was originally an obstacle for them, Zheng Hongkui's old subordinates, to integrate into Zheng Chenggong's core layer, but now it is not Zheng Chenggong who is in charge of the battlefield in eastern Guangdong, but Zheng Hongkui's son-in-law Chen Kai, Shen Ming naturally wants to pull a relationship, and it is even likely that even Zhang Jin acquiesced in this matter.

After this sound, Chen Kai clearly heard Shen Qi's suppressed air in his lungs being released, and immediately said to him: "I know you are afraid, afraid that you will become a scapegoat for Cheng Xiang's defeat in the First World War." Now that you have seen Zhang Zhongkuang's performance, you should understand that he has no intention of putting the blame on you. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Ming couldn't help but nod a little, and then a little shame was revealed: "Don't hide it from my uncle, if you lose this battle, the last general will also have it." Since we transferred to the side of the national surname, the generals in the army have many worries, the last general did not bring the soldiers well, and the morale was low when he went out, even if the national surname punished the last general, the last general had no ...... words."

Zheng Hongkui's transfer of Shen Ming and Chen Kui's two generals to Zheng Chenggong's banner was a matter of August, and then Shen Ming rushed to Sanheba with his troops to assist in guarding. However, before even three months had arrived, he had to cooperate with Zhang Jin in the battle, and the pessimism and dissatisfaction in the army had not yet been relieved.

It not only expressed the nostalgia of the officers and soldiers of the army for Zheng Hongkui, implying that they were more interested in Chen Kai, but also worried about Zheng Chenggong's punishment of him. There was something in Shen Ming's words, how could Chen Kai not hear it, and then without thinking about it, he directly made a statement: "Over there, I can understand Zhang Zhongkuang, and I can also understand your difficulty." What the national surname told me is to wear a crime and make meritorious contributions, according to the character of the national surname, this is not easy, you have to do your own things well. As for your concerns......"

Speaking of this, Chen Kai stared at Shen Ming's eyes tightly, and the firmness in his eyes gave confidence to this general: "I am the son-in-law of Dingguo Gong, you, Chen Kui, Shen Qi, and Xiao Gongchen, who is now in the Zhongzuo Institute, are all the old subordinates of Jiayue. You call me uncle in private, we are our own family. I, Chen Kai, will not watch my family suffer injustice. But if this family member is disobedient, I will not have even half a mercy! ”

Over the years, Chen Kai has already used practical actions to prove his words. Next, Chen Kai got on the boat, and Shen Ming, who was very grateful, also watched the boat flow down, and disappeared out of sight for a long time before returning to Sanheba City. It's just that when he went out of the city, his steps were brisk, and the rhythm of his breathing was much slower, as if he had let go of his worries.

Just transferred over, the generals are still terrified, let alone the officers and non-commissioned officers below. Chen Kai appeased the army's heart, but he couldn't help but laugh and curse secretly on the boat, and he didn't know if it was a blessing or something else.

The network of human relations must exist as long as there are people. Just as Chen Kai said, through the coordinates of Zheng Hongkui, he can connect with Zheng Hongkui's old subordinates, and these old subordinates will naturally be closer to Chen Kai than others.

This may be Zheng Xiyuan's biggest dowry!

The Sanheba line is just the beginning, along the Hanjiang waterway, with the help of the flow of river water, the boat will fly on the river and sail to the lower reaches of the south. The next stop is naturally the capital city of Chaozhou, where Chen Kai once fought to the death.

Recall that he seems to have acted as the prefect of Chaozhou for a few days, and then abdicated to make way for Xian. But who would have thought that a few years later, when he came back again, he was the prefect of Chaozhou, and he was still a regular one, and it seemed that he was really so destined for this position.
