Historically, Wanjia Brothers joined Zheng Chenggong's banner because of Shi Lang's handiwork. However, at that time, Zheng Chenggong did not attach much importance to the Wanjia brothers, and only gave Wanli a deputy general of the rear battalion of the left pioneer town to serve under Shi Lang's department.

This state lasted for more than half a year, until Wanli was transferred to Rongqi Town, and repeatedly made military exploits on the battlefield, only to regain Zheng Chenggong's appreciation, and was promoted rapidly at an unimaginable speed, and even achieved the official position of the post-admiral, and once called the "Five Tiger Generals" under Zheng Chenggong with He Wenxing, Wang Xiuqi, Huang Ting, and Gan Hui.

Now, as soon as Wan Li came, he was immediately appointed as the chief military officer, in charge of a thousand-man military unit. The meaning is just as Shi Xian pointed out, and Shi Lang also understands it.

"Sooner or later, that guy won't be able to eat and go around!"

Sooner or later, when it is, Shi Lang doesn't know, but he has been in the army for a long time, and he still has some means to make trouble for civilian officials, even if he kicked the iron plate when he was under Huang Daozhou's hands, but Chen Kai is not the first assistant minister of the cabinet, and he is not even as high as him in grade, he is still an official in charge of practice, and he still has this confidence.

Early the next morning, Chen Kai set off to return to Nanao Island, not doing business for half a month, and it was time to go back to nine to five in the morning, but Lin Dezhong's wedding, adhering to the old custom of not marrying in the first month and not marrying in the lunar month, had to wait until February to do the marriage, but it also saved him from the reality of being abused prematurely as a single dog.

However, Chen Kai had just boarded the ship on the front foot, and before he could enter the cabin, a fast horse came on the back foot, and he was invited back to the general Xingyuan, which was converted from a chariot-heavy outer house.

"Li Chengdong, defeated Nanjiang, has now withdrawn to Guangzhou."

This is the news that has just been delivered, but due to the deliberate intelligence shielding of Hao Shangjiu and Huang Yingjie from the Huizhou government, what originally happened in early October has only now reached Chaozhou.

"Well deserved!"

Regarding Li Chengdong's failure, Shi Lang confided in his heart without any taboos. In fact, not only him, but even Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and others were not happy, and I am afraid that if they don't know, they can actually be an official office of my Qing Dynasty.

There is nothing wrong with the grievances here, even if others don't think it's strange. Only Chen Kai always felt that this was a good thing, but it was not that he had any good impression of Li Chengdong, this guy was also a butcher, and the blood of the Han family people on his hands was no less than those of the Eight Banners Army. However, the problem here is that Li Chengdong's defeat means that Jiangxi is fighting alone, although Jin Shenghuan's hands have never been less good blood, but if this continues, more people will die.

"Actually?"

The generals expressed their opinions, and there were some worries about whether Li Chengdong would come to Chaozhou to find a place after the defeat of Nanjiang, but this worry was still few after all. In any case, Li Chengdong and Zheng Chenggong are both generals under the Yongli Dynasty, but Nanjiang is still under the control of the Qing army, and Nanchang is even more under the siege of the Qing army.

However, everyone said a word to me, but Chen Kai seemed to be distracted. Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong made an inquiry, and the generals also focused their eyes on Chen Kai.

"Xia Guan thinks that this matter will not have much impact on our army for the time being. However, our army still needs to seize all the time to expand its strength. Otherwise, the dust will settle on the war in Jiangxi, Nanjiang, and even in Guangzhou, which is likely to occur in the future, whether it is Li Chengdong or Tartar, the next step is likely to regard our army as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. ”

This is a real real problem, and it was not that no one thought of it earlier, but Guangzhou, which Chen Kai extended to, still surprised everyone. Just saying this, Chen Kai returned to the ship, and the good mood accumulated during this time had long since disappeared, and all that was left were heavy, two words that would make people feel depressed, both in terms of looking and sounding.

"Next month, in the Nanchang massacre, 200,000 people were killed; It seems that it should be this month, Shanxi Jiang set anyway, and next year it will be another Datong massacre, and the whole city will be killed to only five people. Earlier, I repeatedly used the words of weakness and inadequacy as one of the reasons to guide Zheng Chenggong to enter Chaozhou, but now it is vividly used on me. ”

Shanxi Datong Mansion not to mention, thousands of miles away, even next year, Chen Kai estimates that he may not be able to go, let alone change anything. And the slaughter of Nanchang is by no means something that he alone, or he and Zheng Chenggong can reverse, unless he, Zheng Chenggong, Li Chengdong and He Tengjiao are all tied together, the strength can probably be reversed. But the problem is that these people are not compatible at all, especially when there is He Tengjiao, the most powerful contender for the top spot in the Nanming Pig teammate rankings, even more so.

"This army is still too weak."

The Shanxi battlefield, the Jiangxi battlefield, and the Southern Jiangxi battlefield, which place is not a bloody battle of tens of thousands of soldiers, and this does not count the reinforcements that may arrive and the pig teammates who may stab them in the back at any time. Even, not to mention anything that is too far away, even if Chen Kai has mastered the magic of time and space movement and can teleport the army in one go, with the more than 10,000 soldiers under Zheng Chenggong's command, and there are many recruits who have never been in battle, it is estimated that they were also sent to the head in the past.

This year, Chen Kai tried his best to rewrite the tragedy of Tong'an's bloody ditch, but the next level of war has exceeded the limit of Zheng Chenggong's strength, even with Chen Kai's help, the problem of its foundation being too thin has greatly affected the subsequent development. At this point, what Chen Kai can do is nothing more than trigger their sense of crisis, prompting them to work harder to strengthen their own strength, and then return to Nanao Island to continue to increase production capacity, and there is really no way to do anything else.

"No, there is no plug-in, the accelerator can still be used."

Before the lunar month, the new military uniform manufacturing workshop had been completed, Chen Kai was not there, and the rat whiskers relied on the experience of following Chen Kai for more than a year, and also made the new factory enter the normal track at a very fast speed. The production of military weapons has been steadily produced, and the production capacity of military uniforms has expanded rapidly with the pace of expansion. Chen Kai has laid the foundation for these things, and they are all on the right track, what he has to do is nothing more than to inspect.

Back on Nanao Island, Chen Kai began to write and paint in the room again. Science and technology need to be accumulated bit by bit, which is not a good way, but some things that can be changed by manpower can be carefully studied to see if there is a possibility of great improvement in a short period of time.

As the New Year approached, Chen Kai set off for Chaozhou again, this time it was the last report of the second year of Yongli, Chen Kai not only brought various reports and statements, but also brought the "accelerator" that he had been pondering for a long time, and did everything possible to strengthen this army in preparation for future contingencies.

With the efforts of Ye Yiyun and the officials brought by Zheng Chenggong, the rule of Chaozhou officials has improved, and the military discipline is heavier than the era of the car.

Chen Kai's carriage traveled through the city, and the roads were lined with people buying New Year's goods. Such a day has not been lived by them for many years, even in Chen Kai's eyes, they also sighed.

It's just that when he returned to the line where he had been away from the moon, he always felt that the atmosphere seemed to be something wrong. When he entered Zheng Chenggong's study, seeing Zheng Chenggong and Shi Lang talking intimately about military affairs, his heart suddenly chuckled.

"Damn, how did I forget about this."
