The internal and external situation of Chaozhou is tending to improve, but the strength of the external opponents and the internal contradictions are only temporarily alleviated.

Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai divided the east and west, and after a period of devastating attack, southern Fujian now began to digest the fruits of victory in preparation for another battle. In the battlefield of eastern Guangdong, Chen Kai faced a stronger enemy, and he was under heavy pressure when he was on the defensive. In this case, if you want to seek development, you have to jump out of the tense circle of eastern Guangdong and find the direction of development from the more external environment.

"After I left, Liao Tongzhi acted as the prefect of Chaozhou, Ye Tuiguan was in charge of the lawsuit, Professor Chen taught Confucianism, and Wang joined the army to manage Tuntian ......"

Chaozhou civil affairs have always been attributed to the prefecture and county, and Chen Kai does not need to say much about the affairs of each county, even the newly built Fengshun and Jiexi counties have formed an effective administrative system after more than half a year of running-in. In terms of military affairs, whether it is the northern line headed by Zhang Jin or the southern line headed by Du Hui, they are all on the defensive, and the fortress has to carry out a certain amount of reconstruction work, which Chen Kai has already explained, and it is good for the people below to do it themselves.

After nearly a month of training, those Jiangxi students also embarked on the road back to their hometowns in batches. They have received more training time than Tao Qian, and the training content is also richer, and Chen Kai is looking forward to the spread of their return to their hometowns, but that will be a long time later.

After the meeting, Chen Kai sent off the last group of returnees. He was not afraid that these people would betray the Ming army after returning to their hometown, because these people were the most determined group of Confucian scholars and doctors to resist the Qing Dynasty, but he was afraid that they would be in a hurry and expose their intentions too early, so that the Qing court would be aware of it, so he simply gave a few more instructions.

These people, along with Tao Qian, will be the seeds for the restoration of Jiangxi, and all Chen Kai has to do is pay taxes, fertilize, and remove insects at the right time, and then wait for them to take root and sprout. This is not something that can be rushed, but the immediate priority is the current matter.

Two days later, Nie Yiniang and his entourage arrived in Chaozhou Prefecture, and the things arranged by Chen Kai were basically arranged. Seeing these ambulances, Chen Kai asked them to report to a wounded and sick station in Fucheng, where they would train more ambulances to be distributed to the towns.

After some encouragement, Chen Kai suddenly paused, and immediately asked everyone about "are there any volunteers willing to go directly to an enclave closer to the Tartars". Without even a moment's hesitation, Nie Yiniang took a step forward and responded with her head held high.

"Humble past."

She, dressed in the uniform of a sergeant, tied up her hair, if she only looked at it from a distance, she might see it as a small soldier of the Ming army. But at this moment, standing in front of Chen Kai, her eyes and expression were full of bravery, tenacity and indomitability, and she did not have the slightest timidity for the enclave far away from the Ming army's homeland, and for the sinister one closer to the main force of the captive division, especially the slightest hesitation, which dwarfed the bearded eyebrows beside her.

"There, it's going to be dangerous......"

"Don't be afraid of lowly duties! Please join the army rest assured, the humble post will complete the task! ”

In Nie Yiniang's proud and resolute gaze, in a trance, Chen Kai's mind seemed to flash some long-forgotten pictures. At this moment, these pictures began to overlap with Nie Yiniang's figure, whether it was the resoluteness at this moment, or the slender and firm back of Xu Long's fleet outside Guangzhou nearly two years ago, holding a small boat to take the lead.

"Okay, Nie...... Captain Nie, well, I will set off with this official early tomorrow morning. ”

The title of Nie Little Lady was swallowed alive, this little widow seemed to have rediscovered the meaning of life from her military career, since she was wearing the military uniform of the Ming Army at the moment, dressed as a man, Chen Kaizi was no longer good at distinguishing her identity in terms of gender. After all, in this era of male superiority and inferiority, there is discrimination between genders.

"Obedience!"

After the summons ended, the others went directly to the injury center to report, but only Nie Yiniang stayed here for the time being. The next person led it to the wing room, and after a little cleaning, it could be moved in directly.

Nie Yiniang has been in the army for a while, and later helped in the wounded and sick place in the Shen Yan period, she has seen too many dirty and tired, and there are no taboos anymore, not to mention that the cleanliness of this place does not look like a place where no one has lived for a long time.

During the war, the injuries were very tiring and tiring. As a rule of thumb, once you have time, you should seize all the time to rest in order to accumulate physical strength and spirit. Nie Yiniang had already gotten used to it, put her luggage away, used the dinner sent by her subordinates, and after eliminating her appetite, she lay on the bed for a temporary rest. Lying in bed at the moment is not a deep sleep, it is nothing more than a fake sleep.

I closed my eyes and thought back that my mother's family and in-law's family were still on the side of Zhongzuo, and her military salary should be enough for their livelihood. In addition, her little brother-in-law has also been added to the sub-Dao Biao camp, and is now working under Liu Rong's hands. The last time I wrote in a letter, she said that the training was very hard, but the days were very fulfilling, which made her miss the time when the standard camp was newly built, and she was also with those robes who took Guangzhou volunteers as the backbone of the days.

"Maybe it's time to move my family to Chaozhou."

When you think about it, it's just a thought. In Chaozhou, I can't get to Jieshiwei. The standard camp was there to assist in the defense, but the people of Guangzhou were all concentrated in the three counties of Haiyang, Raoping and Chenghai, and even if they moved over, they would not be able to see it. And she, where she is going this time, is still unknown, Chen Kai didn't mention it, she didn't ask, but just Chen Kai mentioned it, and an impulse suddenly welled up in her chest, making her stand up at that moment.

"He, remember who I am......"

This night, tossing and turning, and the next day, Nie Yiniang boarded the official ship with Chen Kai and went down the river to Chenghai County. When she arrived in Chenghai, she was still waiting on the boat, while Chen Kai saw her long-lost old partner.

"Lin Hou, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

"What is this to say, go back to find Shang Kexi's trouble. I don't dare to ask for it. ”

The fleet of Fuming Hou Lin Cha was specially asked by Chen Kai to Zheng Chenggong, because Lin Cha knew the most about the hydrological and geographical situation of Guangdong, and the two of them also cooperated tacitly in that Guangzhou strategy. Looking at each other and smiling at this moment, Chen Kai explained the plan and the plan, Lin Cha led the fleet to arrive after receiving the order, and Zheng Chenggong, who knew the plan, was still busy cleaning up the aftermath of Zhong Cuo's battle, and he didn't have time to discuss it with him.

The plan was talked about little by little, and Lin Cha listened carefully, and it was not incomprehensible to this, and sometimes he had questions, and he was able to get corresponding answers soon. Just like that, you said everything I said, and soon the plan was further refined.

"It's September now, and the time is a little tight, I'm afraid there is not much time left for the soldiers to rest."

The voice fell, before Lin Cha could say anything, there was a knock on the door, and a messenger delivered the letter to Chen Kai's hand, and after reading it carefully, he had to say to Lin Cha with a wry smile: "Things have changed, I'm afraid I will leave tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, I haven't been to Hong Kong for a long time, and I might be able to buy some daughter's incense and sell it back this time, but I made a lot of money last time."
