"What I'm afraid of is that my fourth uncle can't control him. That would be terrible."

With this thought in her mind, Dong Yougu also knew that her husband was definitely a rare person in the world in terms of intelligence. Even if she didn't say it, she might not be able to understand it.

"I hope it will be as my husband said, but Yuan Yuan is still young after all, so we shouldn't say much about this matter."

Facing this self-confidence, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. Here she asked tentatively, Zheng Chenggong thought for a while and answered in the affirmative: "She will be a sixteen-year-old girl in more than half a year.

, is not young anymore, but this matter still depends on Jingcheng’s thoughts, and it’s not easy for a husband to mess with things."

Some things can be settled in just a few words. What's more, as far as the current situation is concerned, such things are just trivial matters, and there is no need to waste too much time on them.

After resting for a few days, Zheng Chenggong set off for Jieyang. At the same time, the letter flowed down the Han River and soon reached Chen Kai's hands. This coincided with Chen Kai's, so he simply set off, and in

From Chaozhou Fucheng, we took a horse-drawn carriage and headed towards Jieyang County.

Long before Zheng Chenggong arrived, Zheng Hongkui's little daughter had already arrived here to reunite with her father. Compared with last year, his daughter had grown taller and looked more and more like a grown-up girl.

, Zheng Hongkui was overjoyed. The joy of reunion diluted the earlier gloom, but as Zheng Chenggong arrived later, the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere suddenly became a bit suppressed.

The knot in his mind is not Zheng Hongkui’s fault. Some time ago, Zheng Chenggong swept through the southwestern part of Chaozhou and captured Dahaopu in advance, eradicating the influence of Dahaopu local tycoon Zhang Li. But because Zhang Li was in the two

The stronghold was destroyed and he chose to surrender. Zheng Chenggong did not make it difficult for him and his family, just to leave a generous reputation to other Chaozhou rich people.

Originally, this was the end of the matter, and Zheng Chenggong led his army to continue to raid the counties in the southwest. But at this time, Zheng Hongkui, while sending someone to congratulate Zheng Chenggong, also asked Zheng Chenggong to send Zhang Li to see him.

When Zheng Hongkui seized Jieyang County earlier, he had conflicts with Zhang Li. Zheng Chenggong originally thought that it was his fourth uncle who wanted to vent his anger on Zhang Li, so he sent Zhang Li there without doubting his presence.

.Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Li arrived, Zheng Hongkui drowned him and wrote to Zheng Chenggong saying that Zhang Li fell into the water and died due to drunkenness.

The reason for this is that during the battle for Jieyang County, Zhang Li once robbed the family of Chen Siming, Zheng Hongkui's aide, and Chen Siming asked him to kill him to avenge his family.

Zheng Chenggong quickly figured out this matter, and even felt regretful. It was not because he cherished Zhang Li's talent, but because Zheng Hongkui had gone too far in doing this matter. Not only did he have to hide it, but also he wanted to hide it.

The important thing is that there is no airtight wall in the world. In this way, he was trapped inside - the world would not think it was Zheng Hongkui's handiwork, but would think it was Zheng Chenggong who had faked it. In the future, if he recruits surrenders or rebels,

Who dares to surrender?

Now that this incident has occurred, it breaks Zheng Chenggong's established strategy, and it also goes against Chen Kai's general strategy of treating others with leniency. For this matter, although Zheng Chenggong did not criticize his uncle in words, he was angry a few days ago.

He hummed and left, so that Zheng Hongkui originally hoped that Zheng Chenggong would help pacify Huibai Village and other places, but Zheng Chenggong did not help either.

It was early May when we met again. Zheng Chenggong had sent a general to escort the girl here earlier, but he did not come on his own. When Zheng Chenggong came back half a month later, his anger had obviously dissipated. After arriving, it was even more...

Immediately sent Shi Lang to lead Zuoxiang Town to attack Huibai Village, and helped Zheng Hongkui greatly frighten some local bandits in Jieyang.

"Brother Sen still faces his father."

"Hey, I know he's looking out for past feelings."

The whispers between father and daughter finally made them feel more at ease. At least, in Yu Zheng Hongkui's view, nothing could compare to the interests of the family, and Yu Zheng Chenggong had a family relationship that was more of a father and a son than a father and a son.

But the problem is that even if they are biological father and son, Zheng Chenggong has never changed his original intention in the face of big right and wrong, let alone their relationship. Fortunately, it seems now that Zheng Chenggong was a little unhappy at the time, and his anger will naturally subside after a few days.

It's over.

However, while they were still rejoicing, Zheng Chenggong, who had just captured Huibai Village, was faced with a new problem, that is, another bandit wanted to join him.

"Cai Yuan, the chief military officer of Xinheng Town with the surname Guo, has more than a thousand men under his command and is quite capable. The general has persuaded his men to come back and is waiting for the appointment with the surname Guo."

After all, Cai Yuan, the chief military officer of Xinheng Town, is a local tycoon in Xinheng Town. Xinheng Town is located in the northwest of Jieyang County. His people are powerful, with more than a thousand brave people under his command, and they also have considerable combat power. After Zheng Hongkui occupied Jieyang County, he was

A large number of local bandits in Jieyang were restrained, so they were not able to sweep across the country like Zheng Chenggong did, and Cai Yuan was among them.

Submission was originally a good thing, but the problem this time is that this person was persuaded by Shi Lang. It is even said that it was because Shi Lang conquered Huibai Village and was frightened by his fame, but it turned into a potential problem.

.

"Then let him select five hundred elites and appoint him as the deputy general of the rear camp of Zuoxiang Town. Let him also choose a confidant to continue guarding Xinheng Town."

"The general will obey his orders."

Shi Lang left the tent happily, but Zheng Chenggong's face was a bit gloomy. After more than a year of vigorously expanding the army, Shi Lang's troops did not occupy a large proportion. Later, Chen Kai even recruited Wan's brothers.

, the sudden addition of one town further reduced the proportion of the Shi family army. But now, Cai Yuan showed his admiration for Shi Lang, and he could only follow the trend and classify Cai Yuan as Shi Lang's tribe.

In this way, the originally compressed ratio is increased again.

"Tell Mr. Guo that Chen Canjun has arrived."

Just when he was frowning, Chen Kai hurried over. For this scholar who had helped him solve problems and relieve stress countless times, Zheng Chenggong had always trusted him, and he immediately welcomed him out.

.

"I came at the right time. I have something important to discuss with you."

The important thing Zheng Chenggong talks about is not just a mere Cai Yuan. In the past two months, Zheng Chenggong swept through the southwestern part of Chaozhou, covering three counties in a row, and everyone surrendered wherever he went. It can be said that the situation was excellent.

However, among them, there are still those who refuse to surrender, such as Su Li, one of the seven bandits of Chaohai, and Chen Jun'e of Ou Ting Village. They all have certain strength. Zheng Chenggong is planning to deal with these two opponents.

However, the Jieshi Guard occupied by Su Li has actually entered the territory of Huizhou Prefecture. Once the army enters Huizhou, it will inevitably cause an expansion of the conflict with Huizhou Commander-in-Chief Huang Yingjie, and may even lead to Li Chengdong's revenge. This is for

Now there are only 15,000 or 6,000 soldiers, and it is really a huge thing for Zheng Chenggong's troops to defend half of Chaozhou.

"From a terrain perspective, by capturing Hepo Town, Fengshun Camp and the area east of Luohe, our army will have a defensive geographical advantage in the direction of Huizhou Prefecture."

Pointing to the map like an ink painting, the three places Chen Kai pointed to were the county towns of Jiexi County, Fengshun County and Lufeng City in later generations. The urban areas, especially Lufeng City, were already in Jieshiwei.

The west side of the city occupies these three places, and geographically it can be blocked by mountains and rivers, which is similar to taking Fenshui Pass to the east.

Zheng Chenggong knew this, but the involvement, especially Lu Feng's, clearly bullied Huang Yingjie and caused internal strife in the Ming army. In the end, it was not a good thing, not to mention the opponent's strong background.

What a character to mess with.

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, killing each other is not beautiful. Even if Li Chengdong and our army are hostile, it is not good to take this action first. In the end, our army is a dignified king's army, and we must always act in accordance with the right path.
