From the governor of Tongtong, who is in charge of three islands and a total of more than a dozen towns, to the governor who is in charge of one county, it seems very absurd at first glance. However, compared with those scholars in the late Ming Dynasty who set up a village in the mountains and islands, and the control area was only a few hundred people, or more than a thousand people, but they dared to call themselves imperial historians and waiters, Chen Kai felt that he was steadily promoted like him, no matter how he said, he was still a clear stream in the officialdom of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The crowd on Pantuo Mountain cheered, and Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong had a long talk all night. As for the reason for the sudden appearance here, Chen Kai said that it was the same as the explanation he had given to Ke Chenshu earlier. It's just that Zheng Chenggong still seems to have some doubts about this, but he can't find a reasonable explanation. After all, he didn't believe that there were still people in this world who could predict the prophet, and the only possibility was that Chen Kai's wisdom was even more unfathomable than what he had shown in the past two years.

It's all just a bit of nonsense. Zheng Chenggong was more concerned about the actual effect of Chen Kai's use of Changlin Temple to train the Spanish phalanx.

"Xia Guan is incompetent, and for a few months, I always feel that I have just practiced a skin. There are still many passes, and the lower officials are not quite able to figure it out, and perhaps they really need to find an officer from Taixi to refer to one or two. ”

On this issue, Chen Kai has no need to hide it. The Spanish phalanx doesn't seem to be very difficult at first glance, but when it comes to practice, Chen Kai, a layman, doesn't know where the law is wrong, and he doesn't have the speed at which he can become an army in a few months in those articles he has read on the Internet before, and he always has the feeling of getting twice the result with half the effort.

As long as you listen to the description of Chen Kai and others, you will soon be able to figure out that the key lies in the thick fog, otherwise, you can mobilize the artillery normally, and if you shoot down, even if you rely on the cohesion of the township party, you will have to be blown apart.

"It's easier said than done, the ancients didn't deceive me."

The first training of soldiers and horses, I didn't gain much experience. Fortunately, this volunteer team still played a sufficient role, and with this battle, the combat ability of these soldiers has also been greatly improved, and they are no longer the original group of "amateur players".

However, Chen Kai is only a prefect, and he must always be promoted to another level, and he can only form a standard battalion when he reaches the level of military preparation, and at that time, Chen Kai should have been added to the rank of political envoy or councillor of the political envoy or the secretary of the inspection department. As for now, this volunteer force can only be handed over to Lu Ruoji and used as the foundation for the formation of the Yunxiao Association.

Soon, the military intelligence of Zhao'an County without a fight was sent to the front of the Pantuoling army. In this way, the occupied areas of Zheng Chenggong's department are also connected. However, as the Battle of Pantuoling finally ended in the victory of the Ming army, Wang Zhigang retreated to Zhangpu County and strictly defended the imperial army, and the Qing army in Fujian seemed to have increased its troops in Zhangzhou Prefecture.

"The news just sent that Yongsheng Bo and Dingyuan Bo sent Zhang Yunfei to plunder the people of Xiamen Island to expand the military food reserves."

This information is very critical and comes at the right time, after receiving this secret report from Zheng Chenggong, Chen Kai also agreed with Zheng Chenggong's plan to choose to suspend the offensive.

"Actually, there's no need to meet them in general, let's still depend on ourselves in the end."

Zheng Cai acted like this, what he wanted, whether it was Zheng Chenggong or Chen Kai, he couldn't see which. Although Yunxiao and Pantuoling won both battles, the Fujian Qing army still had an absolute advantage in strength, and it was understandable to temporarily avoid the edge and expand its strength in preparation for another battle in the coming year.

This time, in terms of tactics, the Ming army killed a general soldier and a general, successively captured no less than 2,000 green battalion soldiers, captured a county in Zhao'an, and subdued such northern generals as Wang Qifeng and Yao Guotai, who were good at training and using cavalry, and gained a lot. However, strategically, the fundamental purpose of opening up the situation in southern Fujian has not been achieved, which is a pity.

Pantuoling, Zheng Chenggong decided to station troops here, build a fortress, and restore the defense of Pukui Pass to ensure the safety of Zhao'an and Yunxiao areas.

When the war ended, Chen Kai also rushed to Zhao'an County to sort out local civil affairs. This county, founded in the ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, is the second, third, fourth, and fifth capitals of Zhangpu County to build Zhao'an County, and the administrative office is located in Nanzhao Town. When the county was placed, there were 2,886 households in Zhao'an, with a population of 20,836 people, even a hundred years later, due to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the specific number of population is difficult to determine, but it is certain that here, not to mention that compared with the rich places of the same government like "Jinzhangpu" and "Yuegang", it is even likely to be less than a fraction of Haiyang County, where the capital of Chaozhou is located.

From the perspective of industry, at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there were workshops for ceramics, raw salt, tea oil and so on. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, shipbuilding, building materials, sugar refining, winemaking, and preserved fruit industries developed one after another. However, due to the limited number of people, the scale cannot be compared with that of neighboring prefectures.

Population is always the most precious resource of human society. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be understood by everyone. Chen Kai understands this truth, but he is not Nuwa Niangniang, he will not make people out of the soil, originally before the recovery of Zhao'an, there were many immigrants from Zhao'an among the new population of Nanao and Dongshan, and now the only thing he can count on is that there will be people from the Qing army occupied areas to migrate over. As for what rewards for childbirth, the strength is not enough at this stage, and it is simply unrealistic to wait for those fertilized eggs to become a good man after eighteen years.

After staying for only twelve hours, Chen Kai set off with Zheng Chenggong to return to South Australia. However, this time they rushed back to Nanao Island, but they were not the only two, Shi Lang and Shi Xian brothers also handed over Zuo Xianfeng Town to Su Mao, and just took their entourage and boarded Zheng Chenggong's ship.

On this expedition, Shi Lang recovered Zhao'an County, and Shi Xian beheaded Zhang Guozhu, a general of Yunxiao outside Yunxiao Town, all of which made great contributions. Originally, such a contribution, especially Shi Xian's performance in the battle outside Yunxiao Town, was already crowned in the towns, but in the battle of Pantuoling, Chen Kai cooperated with Ke Chenshu to defeat the Qing army and killed Wang Bangjun, the general soldier of Zhangzhou, and their brothers' performance was immediately covered by this light.

Shi Lang thinks very highly of himself, and he has no room for people, Shi Xian is also the head of his brother and horse, they were originally afraid of Chen Kai and Ke Chenshu, and this is even more so after this battle.

When they got on the boat, the etiquette between them and Chen Kai was only on the face, and neither Chen Kai nor Zheng Chenggong was surprised at all. However, this time, Zheng Chenggong did not communicate much with Chen Kai on the boat, but instead pulled the Shi brothers to talk for a long time.

Chen Kai knows very well that Zheng Chenggong has always been balancing his and Shi Lang's status in this military and political group for the past year, and such a competitive relationship is unprecedented in history, because Shi Lang has not produced a person who can compete with him in the years under Zheng Chenggong's command in history. However, Zheng Chenggong's craftsmanship was learned from his father Zheng Zhilong, and it was normal to change to another method in different situations.

Only this time, it has nothing to do with balance.
