"Actually, the divorce is not the intention of fate, is it possible that you still have to lose her?"

When Chen Kai's words came out, Zheng Chenggong was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out. Chen Kai is very fortunate to be able to see the more human side of the ruthless Zheng Chenggong again, at least there is still some humanity for this cousin. It's just that he has already decided on this matter, and even started planning as early as the moment he saw the fear in Zheng Jing's eyes. At this moment, what the center left is doing, he also has to set off. Hopefully, it's not too late.

"I never planned to bear her, this time, at most half a year, at least in March, I will come back." As he spoke, Chen Kai took out a letter from his arms and placed it in front of Zheng Chenggong's case: "This is the letter I wrote to her, and Lao Damu sent it to her, she should know my mind." ”

The envelope was not sealed, obviously Chen Kai had nothing to avoid him. Zheng Chenggong picked up the envelope, turned it over and put it down again, then took the candlestick in his hand, and with a movement of his wrist, he let the flame that was always upward scorch the candle. It would not be nice to be roasted and burned by the fire like this, and the tears of the candle fell, and gradually became a piece on the envelope. Immediately, Zheng Chenggong put down the candlestick, reached out to Chen Kai and asked for the small seal he carried with him, and it was directly printed on the candle tears.

"This is a love letter you wrote to fate, and I, as a brother, only keep it a secret for my sister and brother-in-law. The envelope is so wide open, and you are not complained about by fate? ”

Laughing, the image of a brother who resolutely passed a love letter between his sister and his sweetheart under the opposition of the elders in the family was presented so straightforwardly in front of Chen Kai, which made him smile bitterly.

According to the chain of allegiance in feudal society, Chen Kai was single-handedly promoted by Zheng Chenggong from Weimo, and he is Zheng Chenggong's absolute cronies, and his cronies, now with Zheng Chenggong's cousin, are already considered husband and wife, and in this relationship between monarchs and ministers, they are mixed with the relationship of relatives.

Just like what Dong Yougu hinted at Chen Kai earlier, as Zheng Chenggong's cronies, Chen Kai should help Zheng Chenggong, the eldest brother, as a brother-in-law, and after the death of the eldest brother, even when the eldest brother began to cultivate an heir, he also used his uncle to help Zheng Jing, the nephew.

This is the logic and tradition that is most in line with feudal morality, and under normal circumstances, it will continue to develop like this in the future. But it's a pity that Chen Kai was not born in this feudal society, and he doesn't think that his work here with Zheng Chenggong means that he has a relationship with Zheng Chenggong, and he will not be bound by those feudal traditions.

Originally, he had doubts about Zheng Jing as the heir of the Zheng Group, which was based on Zheng Jing's actions and abilities in history. And now, when Zheng Jing's eyes revealed that indelible fear, Chen Kai knew very well that sooner or later he would have a life-and-death struggle with Zheng Jing. But within the Zheng Group, it is difficult for a crony of his to compete with the heir, so he has to introduce more external forces as help, and what he has to do now is this!

"There is no party outside the party, imperial thought; There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. I wouldn't be stupid enough to train Zheng Jing and let him use my head to pave his way to the pinnacle of life. ”

Thinking of this, the heartstrings touched by the warmth of human nature returned to calm, Chen Kai expressed his gratitude to Zheng Chenggong for his trust, and then said that he still needed Zheng Chenggong to send someone to protect and help him on this trip. Otherwise, it would not be a big problem for him to go to Jiangxi alone, but it would be even more difficult to succeed.

"Actually, whether it's Guangdong or Fujian, there are still a lot of places where you need to contribute, do you have to go to Jiangxi?"

"Damu, this time is different from the past, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and now it has reached the point where I can't do it without going through."

Speaking of this, Chen Kai sighed, and then said: "In recent years, the reason why our army has been able to develop rapidly in eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian is not only because of the overwhelming advantage of our army's own strength over the surrounding forces, but also because the captive division has always been in a state of exhaustion in the face of Li Chengdong anyway, King Lu of northern Fujian, and the original Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers, and the main forces have not been able to take care of our army at all. However, now that King Lu went north to Zhejiang, Guangzhou was captured by Shang Kexi, and our army also annexed the forces of Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers, and now it is a lone army. The bitter fighting of our army in southern Fujian the year before last and the two-sided attack it encountered last year were all caused by the continuous deterioration of the surrounding strategic environment. ”

"Then according to your opinion, you have to try to contact those rebels in Jiangxi?"

For those rebels in Jiangxi, Zheng Chenggong knows more or less through the Zheng family's relationship network and trade network. Speaking of which, the scale of Jiangxi's anti-Qing rebel army is huge, and it is better than Fujian, but the combat effectiveness of all departments, Zheng Chenggong's sneer at the moment, can already explain the situation.

"Liaison is necessary. It is true that their combat effectiveness is weak, but they have always restrained a large number of Jiangxi captives and made them careless. Even Fujian's captive divisions, such as Yang Minggao's Fujian promotion, have been repeatedly transferred to Jiangxi to help in the war. Their existence can share a lot of pressure for our army, and there will be nothing wrong with going on a journey. ”

Not only Yang Minggao, but also the troops of Wang Zhigang, the general soldier of the left road in Fujian, were constantly transferred to Jiangxi by the Qing court to help suppress them, and many famous leaders of Jiangxi's anti-Qing rebels died at his hands. But now, due to the expansion of Zheng Chenggong's troops in Chaozhou, Wang Zhigang, the culprit of Shao Wu's slaughter, has always been contained in Zhangzhou Mansion, and he does not dare to leave half a step at all, especially after Wang Bangjun died in Pantuoling.

The existence of the Fujian Ming Army has reduced a lot of military pressure for the Jiangxi Ming Army, but their combat effectiveness is indeed unsatisfactory, and now the situation is specific, Chen Kai is not very clear, but taking a risk, maybe in exchange for a larger space, whether it is for the Fujian Ming Army, or for himself.

"Although the battle of the center and left was the result of our army's victory, the trench of the strait has already passed for the capture division once, and the officers and men of the army will feel uneasy because of this. At the present stage, our army should still aim at recovering Zhangzhou and Quanzhou Prefectures, and strive to turn the center-left into a hinterland, so as to ease the anxiety of the officers and men. ”

For Chaozhou, Chen Kai's opinion is to put on the defensive and be consistent. Zhang Jin, Du Hui, Hong Xishan, Ye Yiyun and others are responsible for the military affairs there, and he is not needed for the time being. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to go to Jiangxi to open up a third battlefield......

"No, now the bell is beating, but waiting for casting, this discussion is not appropriate."
