When he received the news, Chen Kai was still waiting for a new batch of goods, but after all the calculations, Chen Kai still planned to ask Zheng Chenggong for some ships, but when he really arrived in Zhao'an County, this thought was immediately put away.

A few days ago, Zheng Cai led his troops to the sea, and his whereabouts are unknown. However, the guy had a secret discussion with Zheng Lian for a long time before leaving, and Zheng Lian also said things like his brother was too worthy of the country's surname after drinking. ”

Zheng Zhiguan and Zheng Zhipeng had already mentioned it to Zheng Chenggong, and at this moment, it was nothing more than Chen Kai and Shi Lang, the two masterminds, gathering together and telling them in detail.

In Zheng Zhipeng's words, Zheng Cai went out this time, and there were not many accompanying troops, such as the names of Jiang Meiao, Cai Xing, Zhang Yunfei and other generals, even Chen Kai was quite impressed. Today's Zhongzuo Institute is basically Zheng Lian's troops, and Zheng Lian is naturally in charge. In the eyes of Zheng Zhiguan and Zheng Zhipeng, it is the best time for their Ishii Zheng clan to recapture Xiamen, which has been "forcibly occupied" by Gaopu Zheng for many years!

"The last general thinks that a strong attack is the next policy, and it should be the design."

Since Zheng Chenggong summoned him and Shi Lang, Chen Kai already understood that Zheng Chenggong was actually tempted by this. Xiamen, is the Zheng Group carefully managed up the base camp, the real meaning of the sea trade center on the Fujian Sea, the annual sea ships across the river crucian carp, from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, North Korea, Japan, Ryukyu, Dayuan, the South Seas and Taixi goods have many transit here, it can even be said that if you can take Xiamen, the annual sea trade profits can easily climb to the level of one million taels of silver, not at all a Chaozhou government can be compared.

In the final analysis, what Zheng Chenggong is worried about is the strength of Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers, Zheng Chenggong has the help of Chen Kai, and now he is in eastern Guangdong, with nearly 20,000 tigers under his command, but compared to the brothers' army of no less than 40,000, there is still a big gap. Because of this, at this moment, Shi Lang proposed to design the drawings and gave a practical strategy.

"It's a good idea. But I want to take it well, so as not to kill my brother's name. ”

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong was worried, Zheng Zhiguan hurriedly persuaded: "Don't kill him, lest his generals and soldiers love the master, so that they can't be used by the virtuous nephew." At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, weren't Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji and Emperor Taizong brothers? What's more, Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian are just from the spectrum, what is it! ”

The change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin killed his brother and punished his brother, and there was the rule of Zhenguan and the glory of the Tang Dynasty. Zheng Zhiguan compared this to Xiamen this time, and Zheng Chenggong was also tempted. However, the phrase "the name of Shu is exempt from killing my brother" was heard in Chen Kai's ears, but he suddenly remembered that during the Battle of Jingyan, Emperor Jianwen seemed to have said to Geng Bingwen, "Don't let me have the name of killing my uncle".

"It turns out that Zheng Chenggong has already decided to kill Zheng Lian at this time!"

In front of Chen Kai, the matter was decided so simply. And at this moment, he was like a bystander, sitting there, observing the expressions of the other four, all the calculations weighing back and forth in his mind.

"Actually?"

After the general discussion, the next thing was nothing more than the details, and it was only at this time that Zheng Chenggong suddenly remembered that it seemed to be Chen Kai who had entered a state of invisibility, and asked for his opinion.

Facing Zheng Chenggong's consultative gaze, Chen Kai shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "Since the national surname has been decided, it is useless for the lower officials to say anything more. But even so, the lower officials still have something to say, that is, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Guangzhou are about to die at the hands of captivity, but the princes are here to discuss the matter of internal strife, and the lower officials have nothing to say. ”

Chen Kai knows very well that all this can be agreed so smoothly, in the final analysis, it is rooted in the fundamental demand of the Zheng Group as a maritime group for maritime trade, and maritime trade is where their fundamental interests lie. What's more, Chen Kai suddenly discovered that the strategy he had proposed earlier in order to win Zheng Chenggong's trust in accordance with Zheng Chenggong's early development trajectory had completely sealed all the angles of his rebuttal.

After that, Chen Kai bowed and was about to turn around and leave, Shi Lang did not move, but Zheng Zhiguan suddenly burst out, accusing Chen Kai of not thinking about planning for the proprietor, but instead spending a lot of energy and resources on outsiders, that look of righteous indignation, as if Chen Kai's plan was spent on his private money, not the public funds of Zheng Chenggong Group.

"You want to say that the lower officials eat inside and out, right?"

"You!"

Where did Zheng Zhiguan think that Chen Kai would talk to an elder of the Zheng family like him, but before he could speak, Zheng Chenggong immediately made peace. In this way, Zheng Zhiguan does not intend to continue to entangle with Chen Kai, he and Zheng Zhipeng's trip is to urge Zheng Chenggong to send troops to seize Xiamen, so that in terms of maritime trade interests, they also have great benefits.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that Du Yonghe is not dead, and he has nothing to do with me Chen Kai. I have done it to hundreds of thousands of people there. Yes, I have limited ability, but I will do my best, and this is understandable to the national surname. ”

Chen Kai's generous statement was only greeted with the disdain of Shi Lang, Zheng Zhipeng and Zheng Zhiguan. Only Zheng Chenggong nodded solemnly at this, and said that he would send the fleet of Min'an Hou Zhou Rui to assist.

Today's Zheng Chenggong is far more powerful than in history. Zheng Chenggong agreed to Chen Kai's plan, even if he was attacked by the east and west, he was willing to support Chen Kai to carry out the plan. This trust is something that no one else has. Not now, and perhaps not in the future.

Zheng Chenggong was appeased, and Chen Kai did not leave immediately, but he was still sitting there, incognito. In this regard, Shi Lang looked at it all in his eyes, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind, so that in the process of completing the plan with Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Zhiguan, and Zheng Zhipeng, they all seemed to be a little absent-minded.

Gradually, the plan to seize Xiamen became more and more detailed, as if everything was under control. But at this moment, Shi Lang suddenly raised the question of what should happen to the defense of Chaozhou once Zheng Cai could not be quickly subdued, and he was attacked by the Qing army in Fujian or Huizhou, or the attack of these two compartments.

This question is very important, because Chaozhou has now become the most important occupation area of Zheng Chenggong, and the taxes, soldiers, and production during this period have a great impact on the survival of Zheng Chenggong's department.

"In the end, the general thought that it was better to maintain the rule of Chaozhou with today's defenses. But if it really can't be sustained, then it is better to temporarily abandon part of Chaozhou, or even the whole of Chaozhou, and to protect those troops who already have a certain amount of combat experience. As long as this section is survived and Zheng Cai is solved, he can send troops to recapture Chaozhou. ”
