The conversation between the Feng family's father and son was limited to the Feng family's study, and even Zheng Jing had no way of knowing. Here, Zheng Jing sat in the carriage, slowly returned to the mansion that was not too far away, and after entering the mansion, he went straight to his father's study to say hello, and at the same time to report on the study situation.

In the study, no more than his son, who has already finished class, Zheng Chenggong is still thinking about it. In front of him, the official documents were piled up on both sides of the hills, and in the canyon between the two mountains was a stack of manuscript paper with more or less words. Looking at the handwriting, Zheng Chenggong's handwriting was correct at that time, and he just looked at what he wrote by himself, thinking, revising, thinking, revising, and revising, and so on, and never tired of it.

“…… Gan Hui, the commander of the left army, Hao Wenxing, the former governor, Huang Ting, the left commander, Chen Liuyu, and the right commander Wang Xiuqi; Admiral Ke Chenshu in the Right Army, Governor Li Jianjie in the Front, Governor Lang Deng in the Later, Admiral Xiao Gongchen on the Left, and Huangshan ...... on the Right Admiral"

With the gradual recovery of Fujian's livelihood and the development of the Zheng Group's offensive in Zhejiang and Southern Jiangxi, although it was February, the war in Southern Jiangxi had not yet settled, but Zheng Chenggong had begun to prepare for the next stage of army expansion.

On the part of the naval division, the speed of construction of warships will be constrained, and on the land division, as the Zheng group continues to regain lost territory and go deeper and deeper inland, the importance of the land division is also increasing day by day. At present, the Zheng Group is like a double-headed eagle, entrenched in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and at the same time, it is inevitable to launch an offensive against the surrounding provinces of these two provinces.

The preliminary plan was to follow the example of the naval division and divide the land division into two armies, the left army garrisoned Fujian and launched an offensive to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the right army was stationed in Guangdong and launched an offensive to Jiangxi, advancing hand in hand to recover the southeast land.

This kind of army expansion plan is very magnificent, grain, grass, military salaries, weapons, training, personnel, etc., Zheng Chenggong's current manuscript paper is only the list of the commanders and towns temporarily under the jurisdiction of the two armies, which is enough for him to consider a lot, not to mention other contents. At the very least, the current defense situation of the various departments is relatively stable - Huang Ting guards Jianning Mansion, Wang Xiuqi guards Shaowu Mansion, Chen Kai commands Ke Chenshu and Huang Shan to storm Southern Jiangxi, Hong Xu Taizhou responds to Ma Xin anyway, and Gan Hui is stationed in Zhoushan, and at the same time assists Chen Liuyu to take over Zhang Mingzhen's department, any change may lead to a change in the battle situation, which is a practical problem he needs to consider.

However, this is not achieved overnight, and the financial pressure will be much easier if it is carried out in stages. Of course, Zheng Chenggong understands this truth, but there is one thing that makes him hesitate from time to time whether such a plan should really be implemented. Or, there's a better way to replace it.

There are so many things to think about that Zheng Chenggong can't decide for a while. Fortunately, this plan was not intended to be decided on lightly. Of course, due to the rapid expansion of the control area, the issue of restructuring has been put on the agenda, and he needs to consider more than these, so he often has to stay up late to rest recently.

The thoughts continued, but a servant outside said that the son had come to greet him. So, Zheng Chenggong temporarily withdrew from his thoughts and showed the unexpected servant, and then as soon as the door opened, Zheng Jing stepped in.

"Greetings to my father."

"Well, get up." As soon as he raised his hand, Zheng Jing solemnly saluted, and then stood up as if he was being dominated, but still maintained a respectful posture.

"What did Mr. Feng say today?"

"Back to my father's words, today Mr. Feng first talked about Zigong asking the gentleman in the "Analects", and then finished explaining the chapter on the hegemony of Jin Wen in the "Spring and Autumn Period"."

Zigong asked the gentleman. Zi said: "Say it first and then follow it." This is one of the political chapters of the "Analects", which Zheng Chenggong had read when he was a student, and he had already been familiar with it.

"Zigong asked the gentleman, what is the explanation?"

Zigong asked the gentleman. Zi said: First say what you say and then follow it. It means that if you do things well first, and then say them, rather than words before deeds, this is a gentleman. The child remembered that he had heard it before, and a gentleman should be sensitive to his actions and accept his words, which should be the same truth. ”

Zheng Jing replied eloquently, not only talking about Feng Chengshi's opinions, but also mentioning some of his thoughts and feelings. In this regard, Zheng Chenggong nodded: "Understand the reason, and practice it." ”

"The child obeys the instruction of his father."

After saying this, Zheng Chenggong asked about the second half of Jin Wengong's hegemony. However, this time, Zheng Jing mainly retold the battle of Chengpu, which established the hegemony of Jin Wengong, nor was it an allusion to retreat, but mainly told the story of the rebellion of Zidai.

The so-called rebellion of the son belt was a rebellion launched by the favored prince against his half-brother King Xiang of Zhou after the death of King Hui of Zhou. The first time was after the death of King Hui of Zhou, King Xiang of Zhou ascended the throne with the support of Duke Huan of Qi, and the prince led collusion into the Rong clan of Zhou, but was defeated by King Xiang of Zhou and exiled to the State of Qi. And the second time is that after the prince returned to Zhou, he fornicated with the queen Kui of King Xiang of Zhou, conspired to rebel, and was discovered by King Xiang of Zhou, but King Xiang of Zhou was defeated by the Di people who colluded with the prince and the prince, and was restored to the throne with the help of Duke Wen of Jin.

Xun Yu said: The former Jin Dynasty Wen Gong accepted King Xiang of Zhou, and the princes obeyed; Han Gaozu mourned for the righteous emperor, and the world returned to the heart. ”

Zheng Chenggong has read sage books, passed the examination, and worked as a prisoner. This kind of story can be said to be easy, and there is no need for Zheng Jing to explain it clearly, but once the rebellion of the sub-belt is mentioned, the details will awaken in his mind. It's just that once he remembered Xun Yu's words to persuade Cao Cao to welcome Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he couldn't help but think of the current situation. For a while, the imagination came to mind, but it blocked out the insights that Zheng Jing had meditated on.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although the king of Zhou was weak, he was the co-ruler of the world. Qi Huan and Jin Wen dominated, all under the banner of respecting the king. For example, Confucius praised the merits of Guan Zizun Wang Yi: "Micro Guan Zhong, I was sent to the left", Zhu Xi also called it "Respect the Zhou room, Zhu Yi Di, all so the world is also", these Zheng Chenggong have an extremely deep impression. Even the contemporary Confucian Gu Yanwu also said: "The righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period, respecting the king of heaven and destroying the emperor, punishing the ministers and thieves, all sexuality, and all heavenly ways" Although Zheng Chenggong does not know, the career they do can also be classified into this category.

The princes of Qi Huan and Jiuhe, respecting the king, Feng Chengshi had already talked about it a few days ago, and now he is talking about the hegemony of Jin Wengong, and he also focused on the rebellion of Jin Wen's fair rest belt, obviously using Confucian orthodoxy to establish a correct value for Zheng Jing.

This is what Zheng Chenggong is happy to see, because in his thinking and identity, Confucian scholars are indispensable. This has always influenced his words and deeds, and it is also the root of his thinking that he broke with his father in the first place.

Zheng Chenggong admired Feng Chengshi's intentions very much, and rarely encouraged Zheng Jing with two sentences, signaling him to study hard, and the young man who was less than fourteen years old blushed and excitedly told his father about some of his other ideas.

"Father, Mr. Feng said that the Jin Wen public set up the three armies and six secretaries system to strengthen the army, but the child vaguely remembered that the six secretaries were later a great disaster for the Jin country......"

State systems, top-down, tend to exist in the form of reproduction. Just like the king of Zhou divided the princes, the princes also defended the country with their lips and teeth. However, in the era of Duke Wen of Jin, the earlier civil strife of the Jin State, whether it was Quwo Daiyi, or the slaughter of the office during the Jin Xiangong period and the rebellion of Liji, all caused the decline of the Jin State Office, so it had to rely on nobles with different surnames to defend the Jin Duke.

The Jin Wen Dynasty set up a system of three armies and six secretaries, and the generals were mainly controlled by the Hu clan, the Xian clan, the Xun clan, the Xu clan, the Luan clan, the Fan clan, the Zhongxing clan, the Zhi clan, the Han clan, the Ying surname Zhao, the Wei clan and other eleven clans, who took turns to govern according to the principle of long death and second supplement. Some of these nobles with different surnames were confidants of Duke Wen of Jin during his exile, and some were virtuous and distant branches that began to be reused after returning to China. In the years that followed, they attacked and annexed each other, bullied the Duke of Jin, and finally left the Han, Zhao, and Wei families to divide the Jin, dismembering the former overlord of the Central Plains into three.

Zheng Jing suddenly mentioned this, and with his previous association of the current situation, Zheng Chenggong even interrupted Zheng Jing's words: "What do you want to say?" ”

"This, this ......" Facing his father, who has always been serious, Zheng Jing was a little anxious, but since Zheng Chenggong asked, he had to continue to say what he wanted to say: "In the child's humble opinion, Fujian, Guangdong, Southern Jiangxi and Zhejiang and other places are all recovered by my Zheng family, and my little uncle and Zhong Zhenbo do have meritorious deeds, but allowing them to control the place for a long time is ultimately unfavorable to my Zheng family." My father should still remember that when my grandfather went north, Zheng Cai ......"

"What did Mr. Feng teach you?"

Interrupting Zheng Jing's words again, Zheng Chenggong stared at his son. As a result, Zheng Jing's answer was what he thought of, not what Feng Chengshi said. With his knowledge of this son, it is not a hypocrisy. It's just that now he didn't think about how to answer his son, so he directly asked him to go back to the study to study.

"What you say to your father this day shall not enter into the ears of any man."

"The child understands."

There is no anger, no joy, not even sorrow and the like. Zheng Jing exited the door, and the sunlight outside quickly closed, and then disappeared between the lines. Zheng Chenggong sat on the Taishi's chair, his thoughts gradually diverged down along Zheng Jing's words, and he couldn't hear the off-string sound.

"Hong Xu is just a foil, this kid ......" the word "child" suddenly made Zheng Chenggong feel a little harsh: "What he refers to is actually just a success." Zheng Cai, hehe, one after another Zheng Cai. ”

The superficial brother back then, Rao is now Zheng Chenggong has let him be a rich man, but the pimple of the year still exists. Zheng Jing compared Zheng Cai to Chen Kai, and it seems to be a little similar - Zheng Cai is Zheng Zhilong's nephew, and Chen Kai is Zheng Chenggong's cousin-in-law; Zheng Cai was Zheng Zhilong's arm to sweep away Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin and others, and Chen Kai assisted Zheng Chenggong to start from South Australia and rebuild the Zheng Group, which is now stronger than it was back then; Zheng Zhilong was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of South Australia, and the Ming court did not choose Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhipeng and other brothers of the same clan to guard the lair of the Zhongzuo Institute, but chose Zheng Cai, a figure of the Gaopu Zheng family.

The thing that can't stand up to the most is pondering. At this moment, he looked at the words on the manuscript paper again, and where the desire he had repeatedly intended to overturn came from, it was instantly enlightened.

"Actually, I've been worried about this since the beginning, but Jing'er just put it all on the table."

Between the deeply locked brows, it is full of the current situation of the Zheng Group, everything seems to be thriving, and the future is unlimited, but from the perspective of internal forces, Chen Kai's power within the group is getting stronger and stronger. Not to mention the side, only to say that Chen Kai is in charge of Guangdong's military and political affairs as the general system of Guangdong, and this time he captured Southern Jiangxi, compared with the current group headquarters with only two enclaves, Fujian Province and Zhejiang, there is already a trend of tail not falling.

Where did this worry begin, whether it was Chen Kai's shooting of Zheng Zhiguan, Shi Lang's arrogance, Chen Kai's interception and killing of Shi Lang, or Chen Kai's prelude to the plan to enter Guangdong, or this vigilance against his subordinates has long been buried deep in his heart by his father's words and deeds. Zheng Chenggong didn't know what it was, but at this moment, he was already very aware that he was really worried about Chen Kai's existence in Guangdong.

Chen Kai's existence as the No. 2 person in the Zheng Group has long been a recognized fact within the group. However, in the final analysis, this No. 2 person is a civilian official, with the administrative power of Guangdong, but the military power is all in the hands of those commanders and commanders under the command of the general, most of whom are generals from Fujian, and their hearts are directed to the headquarters, and Chen Kai has absolute command of only one Guangdong Fubiao.

Moreover, the Zheng group was responsible for all the color and silver supply of the troops, and the Guangdong side was only responsible for the supply of military rations for daily and expeditionary purposes. This is determined by the actual situation in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and at the same time, it also restricts Chen Kai's possibility of establishing himself in Guangdong.

In this case, Chen Kai's threat to Zheng Chenggong is actually not as exaggerated as Zheng Jing pointed out. It's just that Zheng Chenggong thinks about it carefully, but he can also understand that after a hundred years, with Zheng Jing's current strength, he will never be able to compete with Chen Kai, so even if his son is not yet fourteen years old, he has already realized the existence of this threat.

"Someone!"

At the sound of an order, Zheng Chenggong asked the servants to send a trusted guard. After a few words, the latter went away as promised, and it was not until noon the next day that the guard quietly returned and told Zheng Chenggong what he wanted to know.

"The Feng family's father and son were in Chalu Ruoteng and Shen Yan period some time ago?"

This answer is not what Zheng Chenggong originally thought. According to his thinking, Feng Chengshi is a character who will get up wherever he falls, and it is natural that he will start at the Ordnance Bureau and the Chaozhou Manufacturing Bureau. But now, on the contrary, it is a waste of effort on two unrelated people, and it is before Feng Chengshi began to teach Zheng Jing, and there is a feeling that something is wrong everywhere.

"They should be checking a few societies, yes, a few societies!"
