Stepping on the threshold of the gate of Zheng Chenggong's mansion, the carriage was already waiting here. Looking up, the dusk sun is sprinkled on the earth, whether it is soft because it is weak, or weak because it is soft, this is not true, the truth is that the sun is strong and eternal, but with the rotation of the earth in different intensities and ways to present the perception of these small creatures.

There was no feeling of relaxation, even if he boarded the carriage, the door curtains and curtains still did not produce even a star. It's not that the urgency still exists, but from the beginning, Chen Kai already knew that the final result would be like this with his understanding of Zheng Chenggong. Because in addition to years of communication, more importantly, through history, Chen Kai knows very well that Zheng Chenggong is not an existence that can ignore reason for the sake of Zheng Jing. Even in his eyes, Zheng Jing, the eldest son, is far less important than the cause of expelling the Tartars and the survival of the Zheng group!

If the reason must be investigated, Zheng Zhilong left Zheng Chenggong's mother and son in Japan back then, went to Taiwan and Fujian to develop his career, and even cooperated with the Manchu Qing Dynasty for the survival and development of the Zheng Group. Zheng Chenggong was very dissatisfied with his father's approach, but when it really came to him, his parents' words and deeds inevitably continued to affect him, even if he and his father actually took two opposite paths, but in essence, they were actually the same for the ambition of the mind and the survival and development of the Zheng Group.

"I finally stood on the stage, this day came a little early, but since I came, there is no reason to leave early."

The wheels were spinning forward, nothing was stagnant, and Chen Kai also left everything that happened before behind him. If nothing else, Zheng Chenggong will adjust the current political, economic, and military layout at tomorrow's meeting, which is the proper meaning. If he encounters Zheng Chenggong's current situation, he will also make a similar decision. In contrast, it is Zheng Jing, Chen Kai knows very well that in later generations, because of the influence of some words and film and television works, many people blindly belittled it. But Chen Kai has seen some records about the Zheng Group's period in Taiwan, and I am afraid that Zheng Jingqi is not really so unbearable.

"A young man who is less than fourteen years old, even if he is extremely intelligent, has no worries about the energy that he can grasp and influence in his hands now. The key here is tomorrow's meeting. ”

Arriving at the post house, Chen Kai summoned the attaché to discuss. In fact, the so-called discussion is more about Chen Kai's picking up and filling in the gaps of the current situation in Guangdong and Southern Jiangxi, imprinting these things in his mind, weighing the priorities, so as to deal with tomorrow's meeting.

Tomorrow is a big deal, and after the discussion, Chen Kai washed up as usual and went back to the room to rest. Just lying in bed, the most inevitable thing is to toss and turn - not worried about the unknown fate, but as soon as he closes his eyes, his eyes are full of the past of him and Zheng Chenggong fighting side by side in those years.

There will be today, Chen Kai had expected it a long time ago, so he didn't try to delay the arrival of this day, such as freezing the activities of the Lotus Hall. But when it really came to such a day, no matter how calm and calm during the day, in the dead of night, it was still inevitable to feel sorry for the friendship that was about to pass.

"I never wanted to hurt you, but if your son gets in my way to change the world, I'll still crush him. I have never doubted this. ”

With a volume that only he could hear, Chen Kai repeated what he had always believed. But this time, no matter how firm his belief was, he still couldn't avoid that regret.

This regret is not only for Zheng Chenggong, but also for him. Chen Kai vaguely remembered that he had said that he and Zheng Chenggong were civil engineering combinations, and Li Dingguo could also be civil engineering combinations, but in fact he and Li Dingguo could become allies, but they couldn't become famous brothers and real victory brothers like Zheng Chenggong. This apportionment is a loss for Zheng Chenggong and for him, losing his comrades-in-arms who originally fought side by side, and losing his siblings who can give their backs to each other with confidence.

Perhaps, as a hero who has changed his life, loneliness is inevitable. Perhaps, this time it was he and Zheng Chenggong who made up for this last lesson.

I have a lot of thoughts, and I don't know when I fell into a deep sleep. Before the light of day dawned the next day, Chen Kai opened his eyes again, and then asked the servant outside the door about the hour, knowing that it would be dawn soon, so he no longer continued to rest, and after freshening up, he picked up the pile of manuscripts again and read them carefully.

In this way, it lasted until breakfast was ready, and Chen Kai put down his work. Do things when you should do things, eat when you should eat, Chen Kai is clear, as always.

When I was in Guangzhou, I usually had a Cantonese breakfast. When he arrived in Fuzhou, although there was a Cantonese style here, and even the breakfast in the north was the same for the post house that ushered in the gentry and generals, Chen Kai has always followed the local customs. No other, authentic ear.

Tear open the fritters, soak them in the soup on the side of the pot, dip the freshly fried shrimp shortbread and the cut and fried taro cake in shrimp oil, and put it in your mouth, which is full of the local taste of Fujian Hongxiang. Chen Kaijiu has been in Guangdong for a long time, but Fujian has not been there. Let's just say that this pot side was often eaten when I was in Zhangzhou, and now I use this Fuzhou again, but I always feel that it is another taste.

It seems that last night's sentimentality has become a thing of the past, and the calm and rational Chen Kai has returned, as if that thousand thoughts were just a dream, not a real occurrence.

After breakfast, digest and digest, the time is almost over. With that pile of manuscripts, I got into a carriage, but what I went to was no longer Zheng Chenggong's mansion, but to solicit the general's mansion, to be precise, the front office of Zheng Chenggong's mansion, where it was like Chen Kai's Guangdong governor's yamen, the pattern of the front and back mansions, public and private.

The meeting was not held in the lobby, because the number of participants was very small, so small that when Chen Kai walked into the second hall under the guidance of the guards, everyone present could be included in the sight.

"It did."

"Brother, Mr. Muzhou."

There are only Zheng Tai and Lu Ruoteng, Zheng Chenggong's words yesterday are really not miserable. When Chen Kai sat down, before he could greet him, even Zheng Chenggong stepped in. Then, with a wave of his hand, the door of the second hall was closed tightly, and it seemed that even the guards had stayed away from the footsteps outside.

"There are a lot of things, but Jingcheng has to rush back to Guangdong as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. There is not much time, so settle things in one go. ”

Zheng Chenggong said this, highlighting a resolute and resolute action. In this regard, Chen Kai looked sideways, only to see that Zheng Tai and Lu Ruoteng seemed to have expected it, and did not show any surprise.

"The year before last, our army independently recovered a province of Fujian, and cooperated with the king of Xining and the king of western Guangdong to recover a province of Guangdong. From last year to March this year, Fujian will go out of Zhejiang to recover Zhoushan and Taizhou Mansion; He became the governor of Guangdong, and the generals recovered most of Southern Jiangxi and the western part of Zhaoqing Prefecture. Today, the area controlled by our army is no longer the four prefectures of Zhangquan and Chaoqiong in the past, and has covered the entire territory of Fujian, most of Guangdong and southern Jiangxi, and some areas of Zhejiang. With such a large scope and many affairs, the government decided to set up six officials and officials to supervise the speech, proclamation, and trial, and put them under the general's palace to assist the prime minister of the country in the affairs of the provinces. ”

In the preface, it is all foreshadowing, Zheng Chenggong decided to set up six officials and other positions on the grounds that the control area is too large, which is the ultimate goal. Next, Zheng Chenggong took out a booklet that had been bound and handed it to Zheng Tai, Lu Ruoteng and Chen Kai, which contained the rights and responsibilities of the newly established departments and the candidates for the chief officials, which immediately attracted the attention of all three people.

"Fujian according to the inspector Pan Gengzhong in charge of official affairs, joined the army Zhang Yu as the official left secretary. Zheng Shengying, the former governor of Qiongzhou Prefecture, was in charge of household affairs, and Gongsheng Lin was transferred to the army as the left secretary of the household official, Wu Shen was the right secretary, and Yang Ying and Chen Zhong went out to fight and was given the title of secretary. Zheng Qingzhu, who joined the army, was in charge of ceremonial affairs, and Lu Chun was the secretary of the ceremonial officer. Zhang Guangqi, the commander of the command, was appointed as the military officer, Huang Zhang was the left secretary of the military officer, and Li Yin was the right secretary. Governor Cheng Yingfan is in charge of criminal affairs, Yang Bingshu is the criminal officer Zuo secretary, Cai Zheng is the secretary of the department, and Zhang Yi is the criminal governor. Chen Qi, who joined the army, was appointed as the engineering officer, and Li Zanyuan was appointed as the secretary of the engineering officer, and Fan Bin and Xie Weiju were the secretary. Chang Shouning was appointed as the Inspector Division, Deng Yu was appointed as the Chengxuan Division, Ye Heng was appointed as the Governor of Chengxuan, and Deng Hui and Ensheng Zhang Yibin were appointed as the chief and deputy judges. ”

The people on the list are basically Zheng Chenggong's staff, and many of them have a background in the Chucai Pavilion. Except for Pan Gengzhong, who was transferred from Fujian as an envoy, the officials of Guangdong and Fujian provinces basically did not move.

However, the so-called six officials of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers clearly correspond to the six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and the others also correspond to the functions of the central Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, etc. Zheng Chenggong made such a decision, Zheng Tai and Chen Kai had not yet spoken, and Lu Ruoteng immediately stood up.

"The surname of the country, this time will definitely cause an uproar in the government and the opposition, and you should think twice before acting."

The establishment of a system corresponding to the six ministries in the feudal town is a taboo, and it is actually not much stronger than the Qin Wangfu of Sun Kewang and the Yongli Imperial Court. At this moment, as a figure who has been in officialdom for a long time, Lu Ruoteng immediately expressed his opposition. In this regard, Zheng Chenggong only said that he would play to the imperial court, and said that once Zhongxing Zidang, the six officials would be returned to the six departments.

"Urgent matters are in power, and the purpose of the moment is to recover the lost land. Others, wait until the Ming Dynasty is in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and then talk about it. ”

didn't wait for Zheng Tai to speak, but Chen Kai, another civil official present, took the lead in expressing his approval, and looked at Lu Ruoteng and Zheng Tai stunned.

Compared with these two, Chen Kai is the clearest, originally in history, after the Qing Zheng Peace, Zheng Chenggong set up six officials in the ninth year of Yongli to deal with the complicated affairs of the three battlefields of Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang. Now, because Chen Kai is in charge of Guangdong, it is a year late. However, it is no longer just the affairs of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, the extent of external expansion, and the imminent outbreak of the Zheng Group's internal war on the card, Zheng Chenggong should have this response.

Zheng Chenggong proposed, Chen Kai and Zheng Tai agreed successively, coupled with Zheng Chenggong's performance and guarantee, Lu Ruoteng did not insist too much, and this major event was decided.

In fact, the three of them all understood that even if they were all opposed, as long as Zheng Chenggong strongly promoted them, they would be helpless. What's more, this has nothing to do with Zheng Tai, and Chen Kai needs to stand up and take a clear position to appease Zheng's heart of success, and the remaining Lu Ruoteng's energy within the Zheng Group is actually very small, and he is more just an administrative official, even if he has the heart to resist, he will definitely not succeed.

When Zheng Chenggong's eyes fell on the next thing that needed to be mentioned, Lu Ruoteng sat down again, and he looked at Chen Kai with his spare eyes, but what he saw was only a wave. If that's the case, there is also Zheng Tai. Because the establishment of the six officials actually weakened Chen Kai's power, because Lu Ruoteng, who was also the governor, was only responsible for the civil affairs of Fujian, and the military affairs were all under the control of Zheng Chenggong.

During this time, Chen Kai was so calm, the two of them all recalled that Chen Kai had arrived in Fuzhou yesterday and rushed directly to Zheng Chenggong's mansion to meet him, probably having reached a tacit understanding. It's just that what they don't know is that this does exist, but it is not achieved through the exchange of these related matters at all, but it is built on the rift of friendship.

With such a powerful content as an opening statement, the rest of the content seems to be insignificant. One by one, one by one, Zheng Chenggong had already made a decision, and it was nothing more than an affirmation to them. In fact, being able to convene such a small meeting to "discuss" one or two is already ventilating the administrative system of the two provinces through Chen Kai and Lu Ruoteng. As long as the two governors can not deny it, then there will not be too much problem in the overall situation.

The meeting began early in the morning and ended in the afternoon. The appointment will be issued immediately, Zheng Chenggong will first set up this shelf, but Chen Kai's side, as he said, really wants to rush back to Guangdong as soon as possible, because at the same time as he explained the current situation to Zheng Chenggong, the two already had such a tacit understanding.

Speaking of which, it was only a little more than a day after arriving in Fujian, and Chen Kai reappeared on the sea ship returning to Guangzhou. Looking at Fuzhou, which was gradually moving away, Chen Kai couldn't help but sigh, because compared to Zheng Tai and Lu Ruoteng, he was the one who knew the real purpose of Zheng Chenggong's operation, and no one could stand out.

"Since inviting me to Fuzhou, Zheng Chenggong has first reaffirmed the status of both sides, and then made everything clear, and now it is to strengthen the centralization of power, and his purpose is, in the final analysis, to prevent the possibility of a split between the Zheng group because of the contradiction between me and Zheng Jing. This is his bottom line, yes, the bottom line! ”
