Zheng Chenggong shook his head, put the thoughts in his mind behind, and rewarded Gan Hui, Shi Lang, Lan Cheng and other soldiers.

After the commendation, Zheng Chenggong looked at his generals and said, "Well, since you are not a Tartar, there must not be much loyalty at all, you should hurry up and persuade them to surrender and enhance our strength." ”

"Yes!" Gan Hui, Shi Lang and others shouted in unison.

After asking about the military, Zheng Chenggong turned his head and asked Zhang Jin, "Yiming, how is the situation in Tong'an City now, and what is the reaction of the people?" ”

Zhang Jin said in a deep voice, "General Yu, our army has strict discipline after the process, coupled with the patrol of the gendarmerie, the people have not been harassed, and there is good order in Tong'an City. I believe that it will soon be able to bring the people of Tong'an to their hearts. ”

"Well, that's good. Zhang Jin, now I appoint you as a guard for Tong'an, pacify the people of Tong'an as soon as possible, and restore order. ”

"Yes, General! I will do my best! Zhang Jin hurriedly drank it.

Now there are a few kittens under his subordinates, Zeng Ying is old and has a high seniority, and she stays in Kinmen to deal with government affairs. Lu Zhenfei wants to govern Haicheng.

Zheng Tai had to handle trade and prepare military rations. Feng Chengshi is setting up a firearms workshop.

Nobody walked away. Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to go into battle to deal with Tong'an affairs by himself.

The Qing army ran fast, and the documents in the government were basically not destroyed. Looking at the full amount of literature, Zheng Chenggong had a headache.

With the assistance of several newly recruited Shaoxing masters, Zheng Chenggong has been looking through the household registration of Tong'an County in recent days to understand how many households there are in Tong'an? What is the size of the young working force?

How many young people can be transferred to ensure the stability of the territory and do a good job in the development of agriculture and industry?

At the same time, he made a list of Anmin, opened a warehouse to release grain, maintained the ground, elected subordinate officials, and summoned the township officials around Tong'an.

Persuade the people who had taken refuge in the mountains because of the war to come back, distribute ownerless fields to poor peasants, and organize spring sowing.

Farming time does not wait for people, "people are wrong for a time, and the land is wrong for a year", if you don't plow and harvest on time, this land will be barren in vain.

Although Tong'an County is not a large grain-producing county, it is much higher than the small island of Kinmen.

But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and it should be taken seriously.

In order to maintain a large fleet and army, and at the same time to feed the families of officers and soldiers, huge amounts of silver, food, wood, copper, iron, and gunpowder were required.

For these military salaries, food and grass, Zheng Chenggong was very troubled.

At present, Zheng Chenggong's territory is limited to a few islands such as Kinmen, as well as a small coastal area, and these small places alone cannot support Zheng Chenggong's expanding army.

Now the only solution is foreign trade!

Previously, the southeastern provinces had basically been occupied by the Qing army, and foreign trade could only be carried out in the form of secret smuggling, and the export materials from the interior were transported overseas through secret channels, making huge profits.

With Haicheng and Tong'an, the smuggling trade has become more convenient and larger.

For a few days, when Zheng Chenggong was busy in the dark, Zhang Dashan came in and reported, "General, Lu Ruoteng brought someone to ask for a meeting." ”

When Zheng Chenggong heard that he was deeply loved by the people, and Lu Ruoteng, who was known as the "Lu Bodhisattva", the secretary of the Southern Ming Military Department and the governor of Zhejiang, wanted to see him.

Zheng Chenggong was puzzled, wasn't he on Zheng Cai's side in Xiamen, what was he doing?

In order not to snub Lu Ruoteng, Zheng Chenggong hurriedly ran out of the door to greet him.

Seeing Lu Ruoteng and the others from afar, Zheng Chenggong stepped forward and bowed his hand, and said sincerely: "I don't know if everyone is coming, Ming Yan has missed the distance, please forgive me!" ”

The three people who came to take refuge saw Zheng Chenggong giving such a big gift, and they hurriedly avoided it.

Lu Ruoteng hurriedly said: "We didn't tell us in advance, so we came rashly, it's our fault, we should ask the country surnamed Ye for forgiveness." ”

Zheng Chenggong replied, "You are wise men, and it is a blessing and a blessing for you to come to meet you, and how can you blame you." It's cold outside, so let's go into the house with Mingyan. ”

For Zheng Chenggong's warm courtesy, Lu Ruoteng is better, after all, he is from a big family, and he has also been a high-ranking official, he has seen the world, and he can face it calmly.

But Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding, who came with him, did not despise Zheng Chenggong because they were white, but still treated them as courtesy, making them all grateful, and their impression of Zheng Chenggong was also very good.

On the way to the palace with Zheng Chenggong, the three of them saw Zheng Chenggong's soldiers with neat steps, loud slogans, powerful movements, and high spirits, looking like strong soldiers and fierce generals.

Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding couldn't stop nodding.

Lu Ruoteng also secretly compared Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian's soldiers in his heart, but found that there was no comparison at all, and he attached a few points more importance to Zheng Chenggong.

Walk into the tent, divide the host and guest and sit down,

Under Zheng Chenggong's arrangement, the soldiers in the army quickly brought the tea.

Zheng Chenggong took a sip of tea before saying, "I don't know what happened when you came?" But if there is help, Ming Yan will not shirk. ”

When Lu Ruoteng heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said: "I have heard for a long time that the general has the heart to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, I can't wait, I am willing to help the Ming Dynasty with the general!" ”

Although Zheng Chenggong was a little prepared in his heart, Wei Wei was surprised to hear that Lu Ruoteng, who was known as a virtuous person, came to take refuge.

It seems that Lao Tzu's reputation accumulated through these two years has finally begun to play a huge role. Not only those generals rushed to take refuge in themselves, but even these ministers began to fight to surrender to themselves.

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly bowed his hand and said sincerely: "You have come thousands of miles to be like-minded, this is the luck of Yan Ming, the luck of Da Ming." With the help of many wise men, why worry about the great cause! Please take a seat! ”

A few people sat down again and chatted a few words. Zheng Chenggong asked: "In today's troubled times, the Tartars are so imposing, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger. How can Ming Yan forge ahead, and I hope you will give me advice? “

Hearing Zheng Chenggong's request for insights, I knew that this was a test of their ability.

In order not to let Zheng Chenggong look down on them, Lu Ruoteng and the three of them thought about it seriously.
