Lying, once it was exported, the face of Lin Cha's subordinate immediately sank. But when these words blurted out, even Du Yonghe felt that it was not appropriate the moment he said it, but as a governor, it was not easy for him to apologize for it.

Fortunately, the empathetic Wu Wenwen once again put the burden on his shoulders, and with a few words and a few compliments, even if it eased the atmosphere a little. It's just that the Fujian Ming Army, which has been in conflict with them in recent years, actually sent such a figure who is famous for his cunning and wisdom in Guangdong at this time, and what kind of idea he fought was really not something that Du Yonghe could guess.

"Then I will invite Governor Chen, well, to enter the city with Lin Hou."

Regarding Lin Cha, Du Yonghe said reluctantly, but Chen Kai, he not only has some interest in seeing it personally, but more importantly, Chen Kai is just a prefect of Zhangzhou Prefecture, and his status is very different from that of the governor, and he will not pose any threat to him.

Du Yonghe didn't want to see Lin Cha, and Lin Cha didn't bother to come to see Du Yonghe's face. After a while, Chen Kai took a small boat and sailed into the port in the south of Guangzhou, at this time Du Yonghe had already returned to the Governor's Palace, to put it bluntly, he had set up a shelf, leaving only Wu Wenwen to wait here, which was regarded as a full courtesy.

Chen Kai didn't care about this, chatted with Wu Wenwen, and entered Guangzhou City. Wu Wenwen rode his own horse, and prepared a carriage for Chen Kai, with his own Ming army guarding him. Walking on the road, most of the pedestrians on both sides retreated into the alleys or under the eaves of the shops, obviously unwilling to intersect with these Ming troops, so as not to have more rights and wrongs.

Chen Kai sat in the carriage, through the light yarn, everywhere he saw, there were shops on the street, and the people in the city, whether they were merchants or peddlers, Rao was a lady and a village girl, a white head and a yellow mouth, and what he could hear was mostly about buying and selling. Only those scholars dressed as Confucian scholars seemed to be more or less attracted attention by the words "Zhangzhou Prefect" written on the banner of Chen Kai and his party. The rest, as long as the carriage has passed, will do whatever it should be, without much impact, and there is not much panic in the siege. It's just that there are always places that make him feel as if something is missing.

From the south wharf of the city, through the Yongqing Gate, through the south gate, only through the south of the city, all the way, all the way. After bypassing the Gongbei Tower and reaching the Governor's Palace, Chen Kai got out of the carriage and entered the Yamen of the Governor of Liangguang with Wu Wenwen.

In the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of the political envoy, according to the inspection envoy, the command of the three divisions were responsible for local affairs, and then set up a governor, to the Jingtai period, there was a governor in Guangzhou, in charge of the military and civilian affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. The first governor of Liangguang was Wang Ao, a famous minister of the Seven Dynasties and the Six Emperors. Since then, they have all been civil officials, until there are two fresh jokes such as Li Chengdong and Du Yonghe.

Without descending to greet him, or even getting up, Du Yonghe sat in the lobby of the governor's yamen, not showing any goodwill. It was Du Yong and the generals under his command, who were also sitting on both sides with a serious face.

"Xiaguan, the Marquis of Weiyuan recruited the general to join the army, manage the affairs of the Ordnance Bureau, Chen Kai, the prefect of Zhangzhou Prefecture, and meet Du Zhijun."

In the position of governor, there are those who are in the second grade, and there are those who are in the first grade. Du Yonghe added the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, which belongs to a high-level match, a first-class member of the Eight Classics, and also has a knighthood. In contrast, Chen Kai is just a prefect, from the fourth grade, and he must also be respectfully saluted here. After all, the court is no longer the same, and the etiquette of humility and humility still has to be talked about.

Chen Kai was courteous, and Du Yonghe's face was also a little relieved. Next, exempt from the courtesy, give the seat, and do it in one go, Du Yonghe felt that he was also worthy of the generous gift, so he asked Chen Kai about the purpose of his trip.

"I have heard for a long time that the prefect of Chen is both wise and brave, and his governance is unparalleled, and he has always relied on the Marquis of Weiyuan. I don't know what is the important thing about coming to my Guangzhou this time? ”

I'm not here to deceive Canton City.

When he was on the road, Chen Kai originally planned to make fun of Du Yonghe, but after thinking about it, he didn't seem to be familiar with him to that extent, so he simply solemnly explained his intentions: "Ten days ago, the Marquis of Weiyuan heard that the captives went south, and Huang Yingjie surrendered, and he originally intended to lead the master to King Qin. However, the Fujian captives attacked Zhangzhou, Su Li, Xu Long and other captives and thieves provoked in Huizhou, and the army was still fighting in Zhangchao and Chaozhou. ”

Compared with the original history, Zheng Chenggong was more focused on the Guangdong battlefield, and Yu Huang Yingjie's intelligence collection was also more diligent, so that he could get the news in such a timely manner.

Chen Kai was so sincere, but Du Yonghe was stunned, but he wouldn't believe that a figure like Chen Kai would come over for such a "trivial matter", Zheng Chenggong changed Emperor Yongli to Emperor Ming orthodoxy earlier, but he just sent Jiang Yucan and Huang Zhigao, two old ministers and idlers of the Longwu Dynasty, to come over, instead of a useful staff like Chen Kai, and now it is even more unreasonable.

Before Du Yonghe could ask, Chen Kai took out a letter and expressed his hope that Du Yonghe would present it to Emperor Yongli on his behalf. When the latter responded, Chen Kai also mentioned an issue that made Du Yonghe quite a certain nature.

"Entering the city today, I saw that the city was in order, and it can be seen that the Du army led the troops in a good way, and although there were many captives, they could not shake the Jiancheng of Guangzhou for half a cent......"

After a fart, Du Yonghe's expression has completely eased, and he even has a faint smile. Seeing this, Chen Kai made persistent efforts and said: "The king of Guangzhou fought bravely, and he was a model for the emperor's and Ming towns. Although our army is unable to attach itself to the tail of Wang Shiji in Guangzhou, it does not want to be left behind. The South Australian Ordnance Bureau, which is in charge of the lower officer, produces a large number of military supplies such as gunpowder, artillery, bird guns, all kinds of swords, guns and spears, and military uniforms. ”

Speaking of which, Du Yonghe's smile just now gradually faded. Chen Kai came to sell goods this time, not really to support the Ming army in Guangzhou to fight against the Qing army. However, Du Yonghe is still a little interested in the things mentioned by Chen Kai, especially when the sailor has just suffered a fiasco, and it is even more urgent to replenish. Otherwise, Chen Kai will directly talk to him about business, and according to his temperament, even if he doesn't open his mouth to bombard, he will be reprimanded.

"Governor Chen knows that our army is fighting bloodily, and he is still so calculating......"

"Mr. Fan, let Governor Chen finish his words."

According to Fan Chengen's words, it is nothing more than asking Chen Kai to support them with some weapons, which can be regarded as an attitude. But Du Yonghe knows very well that in this world, it is not enough to come for a long time, I am afraid that if the Zheng family sends him a batch in the way of face, there will be no intersection, which is absolutely not enough for him who urgently needs and needs a large number of weapons for a long time for the purpose of guarding the city.

Du Yonghe stopped Fan Chengen, Chen Kai smiled indifferently, and continued: "Originally, the lower officials also thought that it was gratifying for the Guangzhou Wang Division to be attacked by the enemy and the thieves, and our army was also attacked by the captive division on two sides, and the local production of Chaozhou was limited, so first of all, we still had to support our army. However, Du Zhijun also knows that the origin of Weiyuan Hou's family is related to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and Nanyang Japan, that is, Dingguo Gong and Yongshengbo, they are also relatives, and there is no need to worry about the source of goods. But whether it is the production of the people or the income from trade, we can contact us, but in the final analysis, it will not come in vain, and I hope that Du Zhijun will forgive me. ”

After saying this, Chen Kai picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and sat here, quietly waiting for an answer. It is undeniable that what Chen Kai said was true, and at the same time as the whispers sounded, Du Yonghe's expression was changeable, and in the end, he faintly revealed a little excitement.

"Dare to ask Governor Chen, are the goods limited to weapons?"

Seeing Du Yonghe's question, Chen Kai immediately said that he would try his best to satisfy both parties in terms of price. As for the type of goods, Chen Kai smiled and said, "Of course, it won't be limited to this, please rest assured that Du Zhijun is here." ”

"As for the goods, let's talk about Chaozhou first, grain, salt, cloth, sugar, Chaozhou porcelain, Chao tobacco, tinware, the price is right, and the people are always willing to take out some. In the other places, the fabrics of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the square objects of the South Seas, the mounting objects of Japan, the gold and silver objects of Taixi, and the of Africa are not unattainable. Even if it is a Manchurian girl, the lower officials can try to contact it to see if the maritime merchants of Liaohai have a chance to go to Liaonan. It's the price, it's always worth the money, do you say yes or no? ”
