Han Yang and Zheng Chenggong successively went to Xiangshan County.

Previously, Chen Huan, the commander of Xiangshan County, had received the news in advance and prepared a banquet for the two of them.

At the banquet, Chen Huan said a lot of compliments. There's no way, he doesn't want to be so cheeky, but now that he has a request for others, face is not so important.

As long as Zheng Chenggong and Han Yang can repel the Japanese invaders, then he will not only have no fault, but will have merit.

It's just that after the banquet ended, Zheng Chenggong found Chen Huan alone to discuss with him about resisting the Japanese invaders.

Chen Huan was surprised.

You must know that it is the second half of the night, and Zheng Chenggong's enthusiasm is too high.

Of course, Chen Huan didn't dare to refuse, he invited Zheng Chenggong to the study, and ordered someone to serve hot tea to prepare for a candlelight night talk.

The room was full of candles and oil lamps, and the firelight looked a little cloudy on Zheng Chenggong's face.

"I wonder what General Zheng wants to ask?"

Zheng Chenggong said lightly: "Since it is to resist the Japanese invaders, it is natural to understand the movements of the Japanese invaders. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. ”

"What General Zheng said is very true. As far as this county knows, there are about 5,000 pirates who have attacked Xiangshan County, and they have no fixed residence, and every time they go out, they will burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil..."

"Just now Chen County Decree said that they have no fixed residence?"

Zheng Chenggong raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, the same is true of the Japanese and the pirates, and there is no fixed place to live."

"Chen Xianling took it for granted."

Zheng Chenggong immediately interrupted: "Even if it is a widow, there must be an old nest. Chen believes that they have no permanent residence, perhaps simply because their residence is not on land. ”

"Not on land?"

Chen Huan was full of suspicions. Is it possible to be at sea if it is not on land? This Zheng Chenggong is too confident.

"Yes, not on land."

Zheng Chenggong paused and said, "If so-and-so is not mistaken, their nest is likely to be on an island. They spent their days resting and resupplying on that island, and only took boats when they were out to raid. ”

Chen Huan was stunned when he heard this. If this is the case, it can be regarded as subverting his existing cognition.

He had always thought that the would-be would-be wouldn't come and go without a trace. But I never thought that the would-be would-be wouldn't have a nest.

"Then according to what General Zheng just said, as long as we find the nest of the Japanese robbers, we can wipe them out?"

"Not bad." Zheng Chenggong nodded and said, "So the first thing we have to do is to find out the nest of the Japanese Kou." ”

Chen Huan sighed in his heart, this Zheng Chenggong is worthy of being an expert. His son, Zheng Zhilong, was born in Haikou, so he can understand everything about Haikou so clearly.

"But this sea is vast, and it is not easy to find the traces of the Japanese robbers."

But Chen Huan thought about it and felt that this idea was not feasible.

After all, the sea is so vast. With the government's knowledge of the sea in this generation, it is impossible to find out every island.

"So search the sea."

"Souhai?"

Chen Huan said in a harmonious voice: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"I searched the sea when I was in Denglai before, and finally found the nest of the widows, and ploughed the court to sweep the holes and wipe them out."

Zheng Chenggong said lightly.

Chen Huan has also heard of this matter, after all, it is so famous that not only Di Bao but also some non-governmental newspapers have reported it.

However, Chen Huan did not fully believe it at that time. After all, the victory on Bison Island was so perfect, so perfect that people couldn't believe it.

Things in officialdom have always been deceived and concealed, and some of the authenticity of them remains to be discussed.

It's just that now Zheng Chenggong is in front of him, and the face that should be given is still to be given.

"I have heard that General Zheng is good at water warfare, so this time this official should take a good look at it."

"It's easy to say, a certain place also needs more support from Chen County, especially in the supply of grain and rice."

"Haha, General Zheng is too outward, these are what I should do."

......

......

Early the next morning, Zheng Chenggong went to the barracks to inspect it.

The military camp in Xiangshan County was built temporarily by Chen County's order, although it was rudimentary, but it could meet basic needs.

Zheng Chenggong was not too demanding. After all, it's wartime, and it's good to be able to do this.

He was more concerned about how to settle those recruits recruited by Chen County.

After all, they are guest troops, and it will inevitably cause criticism if they just live in the bundling of those recruits.

Although Zheng Chenggong asked himself, he was not afraid of shadows, but some things could still be avoided, so it was better to avoid them.

Zheng Chenggong had probed the tone of Chen County's order before, and Chen County's order said that he would vacate the military camp as soon as possible for the imperial army to live. But Zheng Chenggong still wanted to hear the opinions of these recruits.

When he arrived at the barracks, he immediately ordered all the recruits to assemble on the school grounds.

Although these recruits have not been trained for a long time and have not learned much about most of the skills and tactics, they still have a strong sense of rules.

After three rounds of drumming, all the recruits gathered in the school field to receive a lecture from Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong stood on the school field in a military uniform, and glanced at everyone with majesty.

"You are all recruits just recruited by Chen County Order, do you know why Chen County Order wants to recruit soldiers?"

After Zheng Chenggong asked this question, the soldiers in the audience did not speak.

They heard that Zheng Chenggong was a general sent by the imperial court, how could such a big man be able to talk to a big soldier like them at will.

Zheng Chenggong saw that they were very restrained, so he cleared his throat and said, "You don't have to be afraid, I just want to ask some of your true thoughts." ”

"It's to guard against the Japanese invaders."

"Yes, it's for the sake of fighting the Japanese Bandits."

The generals came from the audience with answers in twos and threes.

"Very well, did you join the army voluntarily in the first place?"

The question raised by Zheng Chenggong is critical. He would be interested to know whether the recruits had joined the army voluntarily or by force.

If it's voluntary, of course there's nothing to say. But if they were forced, they did.

The audience was silent.

Most of them were forced to join the army by Chen County's order, but they can't say that.

Who knows if this general sent by the imperial court is in league with Chen Xianling. It is said that officials protect each other, and if they are a nest, then won't those who tell the truth suffer?

Zheng Chenggong saw their scruples, cleared his throat and said: "XX doesn't mean anything else, it's just that the army of the imperial court also needs a place to live, if you don't volunteer to join the army, you can give Chen County Commander a proposal to make you an auxiliary soldier, and you can live at home on weekdays." ”

The recruits' eyes couldn't help but light up when they heard this.

Zheng Chenggong's commitment can be described as very sincere.

Although the difference between auxiliaries and soldiers is only one word, there is a world of difference.

The soldiers were paid and could live in the barracks. The auxiliaries were not paid, and if the barracks were tight, they had to live outside.

If it were an ordinary soldier, they would definitely rush to be soldiers. But these recruits are different, they are all forced to join the army. If they were given the opportunity to choose, of course they would want to be less dangerous auxiliaries.
