"This time it is a dangerous pass, and next time we need to count all these unexpected situations in place."

talked with Zheng Chenggong for a long time, and when he left the Tiger Festival Hall, it was already three poles of the moon. After washing up, lying on the bed, recalling the events of the past month and a half, I couldn't help but sigh.

I handed in my name, but this time it was a bit risky. He had calculated in the Tiger Festival Hall that day, and the margin left was very small, but if there was a mistake, or his experience in business management was wrong, this time it would be a catastrophe. However, if you are a newcomer, if you want to grasp the real power, you always have to take some risks, but fortunately, this time Zheng Chenggong is about to send troops, and it is the first time to send troops, and the attention from top to bottom is extraordinary, otherwise it is so risky, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to pass.

"Fortunately, I passed the test, and next, I should work harder."

The completion of the task is a relaxation, this night Chen Kai slept very sweetly, and he didn't even have a dream until dawn. However, he didn't expect that this would be the last night he lived in this side room.

"Chen joined the army, these four people were sent by the head of the family to serve you. In addition, the owner of the house has arranged another yard for you. ”

The four servants, one male and one female, were a husband and wife, and the other two were a maid and a maid, all of whom came to take charge of Chen Kai's daily life. The male and female servants were rough subordinates, and at first glance they were honest people; Xiao Duan is a clever and can be used as an attendant; It's the maid, but if you look closely, it feels like a small jasper, you can serve closely, and you can probably use it to warm the bed, but it's also thoughtful.

"The villain has seen the master."

"Get up."

This kind of private servant who has entered the Chen family, compared with the public servants who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping before, is even higher in grade, and it is more comfortable to use.

Zheng Chenggong arranged another place to live, Chen Kai had to let them bring their own things, packed up the clothes that Chen Kai put in the cabinet and the books and texts on the case, and he took the broken straw shoes and walked with the housekeeper Zheng San to another courtyard of the general town mansion.

"The head of the family said that this courtyard is not worthy of Chen's talents to join the army, but now that the state affairs are difficult, I have to wait for a while, and I hope that Chen will not mind joining the army."

"It's already a luxury to have tiles to cover your head, don't you fight the captives without brocade clothes and food?"

The yard was not small, at least bigger than the one he had lived in before. It's one thing to be big, the carved gallery and the painting building, the flowers and plants, and the scenery is also unique. But more importantly, although the previous small courtyard did not live in others, only the side room belonged to him temporarily, and now, the entire courtyard belongs to him, which is very different.

"It's a pity that the property doesn't belong to me, if my name is written in the house book, it must be excellent."

After seeing the layout of the small courtyard, Chen Kai couldn't help but think about it. Although the house is temporarily occupied, but if you think about it carefully, the property rights of this general town are all owned by the Ming Empire, for the successive deputy commanders of South Australia, and Zheng Chenggong, the general who recruited him, is it not the same as a temporary residence?

Thinking about it like this, Chen Kai immediately balanced. After accepting the reward of two pieces of silk and satin, a few sets of clothes and twenty taels of silver, Zheng San took his leave, Chen Kai took a look at the reward, and asked the maid to clean it up, while he went to the main room and the study to go around.

In fact, from the beginning to the small courtyard, you can already see the leopard in the tube. The furnishings, decoration, layout, and furniture in the house are antique, very exquisite and luxurious, and it is not just a grade stronger than the side house he lived in for more than a month, and even the bookshelves in the study are already full of books, including many Confucian classics, and there are many books that Chen Kai mentioned to Zheng Chenggong yesterday.

This is the difference in class and treatment, compared to the grade, it is indeed not as obvious as it, but it is still clearly placed in front of Chen Kai's eyes.

"In addition to the main room and the study, how to allocate and use the other rooms in the courtyard is for you to discuss."

"The villain obeys."

"You packed up the things that Master Ben brought over. In addition, this straw sandal is a token of Engong, so don't lose it. After instructing these new servants, Chen Kai took the little guy like a little tail, and went to the armory workshop as always.

The day after tomorrow, the army will set off for the expedition, and some weapons may be sent for repair, and Chen Kai is also ready for it. It's just that the follow-up production is inevitably a matter of expansion and expansion, and these Chen Kai have already made a statement to Zheng Chenggong, but they still need to wait until the army sends troops before they can start preparations.

Compared with a month and a half ago, there were three more daughters-in-law of Wang Fugui and other supervisors in the ordnance workshop, but there were two fewer You Er and his wife. You Er has been beheaded for public display, and his head has been hanging on the gate of Nanao City, but at this time, he was put down, burned, and put together with the ashes, and brought back to his hometown in Fujian by You Hong's mother and son, who were about to board the ship of the sea trade.

At the end of a month of hard labor, Hong Xu handed over a fine, and now sends their mother and son back to their hometown. However, Hong Xu has not seen this family since the incident, and he has already expressed his attitude, just to complete the affection of this distant relative.

boarded the ship, holding the ash jar and holding the tablet of You Er, the mother and son depended on each other and were about to walk to the cabin. It's just that looking back, the port is in order, the city of Nanao is still majestic, and there is smoke and dust rising in the direction of the armory workshop, but I can't help but feel a little resentment.

"Son, remember, it's the guy named Chen Kai, who caused our family to be ruined!"

………………

June 18 of the third year of Longwu, the year of Dinghai, the month of Yisi, and the day of Wuyin. Today is the day of the army's expedition, Zheng Chenggong worshiped the tablet of Emperor Longwu, and beat the drum in this Tiger Festival Hall to gather the generals. For a time, the stars gathered, and the cold light of the iron armor was even more dazzling.

"The army is about to go out, and now, assign the task of commanding the troops."

Zheng Chenggong shouted loudly, and the generals couldn't help but sit up straight, even Chen Kai, who was sitting at the bottom, also felt the majesty of this army, even if he knew that this expedition actually had nothing to do with him, he also held his breath and listened to Zheng Chenggong's orders.

"The head town is Hongzheng, and Zhongjing Bo Chen Hui."

"The last general!"

When he first arrived, Chen Kai went to the Pioneer Town under the leadership of Zheng Chenggong to investigate. Hong Zheng, he had seen him in the town mansion and greeted him politely, but Chen Hui had never paid attention to him so far, but with the previous incidents, the relationship between the two sides was probably like this for the time being.

One was wearing iron armor, the other was wearing a python robe and belt, and the two generals rose in response, and the armor leaves rattled. After responding loudly, Zheng Chenggong gave orders to them.

"You two, lead the left and right vanguard towns."

"The last will obey."

"Zhong Kuangbo, Zhang Jin, and Yang Cai, the head town."

"The last general!"

"You two, lead Ding Zhen."

"The last will obey."

Qinding Town is the most elite army under Zheng Chenggong, a town, led by two generals, one is one and one is a pair. Chen Kai sat in the tail seat closest to the gate, and saw a military general sitting in the front few seats with a python robe like Chen Hui and a military general sitting not far in front of him standing up and responding loudly to Zheng Chenggong's order.

"The head town Guo Tai, the head town Yu Kuan."

"The last general!"

"You two, lead the left and right to protect the town."

"The last will obey."

"Loyal to Bolin Xi Mountain."

"The end will be."

"You lead the ship town and escort the army north."

Zhongding Bolin Xishan, this person is a member of the naval division under Zheng Zhilong, who participated in the naval battle of Liaoluo Bay that year, and had a good performance. In fact, not only Lin Xishan, but also Chen Bao, the loyal and brave Marquis who was sitting at the front at the moment, and Zheng Cai, the Yongsheng Bo who sent out the invitation this time, all of these people had participated in the sea battle that decided the fate of the maritime trade along the southeast coast of China, but now the Zheng group has fallen apart, but they belong to different forces.

"The last will obey."

"Ke Chenshu, Yang Chao, Du Hui."

"The last general!"

"Ke Chenshu and Yang Chaowei joined the army, and Du Hui was the general assistant to assist the commander in commanding the army."

Chen Kai heard Ke Chenmei mention that this is not the first time that Ke Chenshu has counsellor Zheng Chenggong for military affairs, when Zheng Chenggong was ordered to supervise the imperial camp and preside over the defense of the northern Fujian Pass, Ke Chenshu was already under his command. And this time, it is likely to be the last time that he joined the army as a member of the army.

"The last will obey."

"Gentlemen, in this battle, our department aims to cooperate with Yongshengbo to seize Haicheng County, and we must do our best."

"The last general and others must obey the order of the country's surname!"

After assigning the task of sending troops, Zheng Chenggong said to Chen Bao and Hong Xu, who were sitting at the top: "Nanao is the fundamental place of our army, and the army will go on the expedition, Zhongyonghou is responsible for defending the place and training recruits, and Zhongzhenbo is responsible for presiding over the general affairs, and he should also work together to ensure that the local area is not lost." ”

"The last will obey."

The two of them received the order, and the internal and external arrangements were completed, Zheng Chenggong glanced at Chen Kai, who was sitting at the most door of the meeting hall, and wanted to give one or two, but then after thinking about it, he let go of this thought. Then he stood up and shouted.

"Troops!"
