Chapter 151: The Second Palace (Part 1)

Early the next morning, Zheng Xiyuan left Nan'ao Island by boat. Chen Kai knew very well that she came to visit her father as usual. Originally, Zheng Hongkui felt sorry for his daughter and was afraid that something would happen if the war broke out, so he asked her to return to Kinmen. Unexpectedly, he did not wait to return.

, she had a "slight ailment" and this "sickness" lasted for more than a month. It was not until Chen Kai came back that her "sickness" suddenly recovered.

Watching the ship go away, Chen Kai's eyes gradually became deeper. When the ship disappeared into the sea and sky, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Guangzhou. It was like a black hole, as if everything could be sucked in.

In the next half month, Chen Kai stayed on Nan'ao Island and waited for replies from Zheng Chenggong and Ye Yiyun. Zheng Chenggong still maintained his support for Chen Kai's plan, even though it now seems that the profit margin of this plan is far away.

No matter the price is lower than normal trade, Ye Yiyun also said that he will prepare the first batch of goods as soon as possible and will not delay Chen Kai's plan.

Chen Kai has transferred the fragrant wood brought back from Hong Kong to Hong Xu for sale. In Hong Xu’s words, this kind of stuff is in short supply now, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where the price of daughter’s incense is more than ten times the usual price. This point

, Chen Kai agrees, not only because things are rare, but more importantly, those who can afford such spices will basically not care about spending ten or a hundred times more.

If you have money, you can be so willful.

The goods were continuously sent along the Han River waterway to the fleet on Nan'ao Island. Ten days later, Chen Kai suddenly received news that Shi Lang's Zuo Xianfeng Town had defeated Su Li in the Beishan Village area, and the latter retreated in a panic. It is said that

If Zheng Chenggong had not issued an order earlier, prohibiting the army from entering the boundaries of Huizhou Prefecture, in order to avoid summoning Huang Yingjie and unable to escape from the dilemma of being attacked by two things, the Jieshi Guards might not have been able to capture it.

Shi Lang originally followed Zheng Chenggong to fight against the Fujian Green Camp in Zhao'an County. Unexpectedly, the Right Pioneer Town was defeated and Lin Sheng was killed. Zheng Chenggong took advantage of this unfavorable situation and used the mobility of the Navy to suddenly drop the Zuo Pioneer Town.

On the battlefield in the southwest of Chaozhou, Su Li, who had become arrogant due to his earlier victory, was defeated in one battle and achieved a reversal of the war situation.

Su Li was defeated, and Xu Long was said to be at odds with him, and the two sides were unable to cooperate with each other. In addition, Xu Long's ships were in poor condition, and there was no complement from Huizhou Prefecture and Jieshi Guard, so there has been no movement so far.

On the contrary, Lin Cha and the others had originally laughed at Xu Long's "beggar fleet" dueling with the Zheng family's fleet at sea, but they still looked at Xu Long favorably.

However, with Shi Lang's arrival, it was not only Su Li who had a hard time, but also Huang Ting. Huang Ting was originally the commander of the Chaozhou Southwest Army, but when Shi Lang arrived, he directly overran Huang Ting without waiting for Zheng Chenggong's order.

Huang Ting had always been subject to Shi Lang's power of command, so there was nothing he could do about it.

When the goods were basically in place and Chen Kai set off, Zuo Xianfeng Town decided to stay and garrison in Chaoyang to further deter Su Li. As for Zheng Chenggong's next battle plan, just as before, he and Chen Kai

There won’t be much intersection for the time being.

The fleet pulled anchor again and the target was still Guangzhou. This time, Chen Kai brought a large amount of goods, including the backlog of Chaozhou cigarettes that had no market. Hong Xu had not yet contacted a suitable buyer for Chaozhou porcelain, tinware, and sugar products.

As well as all kinds of cloth, plus the Ming army's standard military uniforms, rattan cards, and gunpowder from the Ordnance Bureau, it was also a big deal that filled more than a dozen boats. In addition, the boats also carried a large amount of clothes, bedding, toilets, bowls and chopsticks, etc.

, but it is not for sale.

The friendship between Chen Kai and Lin Cha is getting deeper and deeper. In the final analysis, it is because their tempers are not that small-minded. Compared with Chen Kai's earlier relationships with Hong Xu, Chen Bao, Chen Hui and others, they were in ordinary situations.

It came naturally. However, as the ship sailed out, a conflict broke out in Chaoyang County on the shore between brothers Shi Lang, Shi Xian and Chen Bin.

The reason was just a few verbal conflicts. However, Chen Bin had offended Shi Lang earlier and almost got into a tense situation. In the end, even Huang Ting and Lu Jue, who came to break up the fight, were scolded by Shi Lang.

, then they parted ways unhappy.

"With the strength of his two brothers, my soldiers can compete with them; in terms of means, even though they are two brothers, I can ravage them with just one hand!"

At this moment, when Chen Bin said this, Huang Ting, Lu Jue and others did not think that he was saying anything harsh. In terms of military strength, it was very inferior, but such trivial matters were not serious enough to actually use weapons.

, not to mention that Zheng Chenggong would not be happy, even they would never sit idly by.

As for martial arts, Chen Bin has a bravery that no man can match. Under Zheng Chenggong's command, only Gan Hui can compete with him at this stage, and even Lan Deng, who is highly skilled in martial arts, is far behind. Brothers Shi Lang and Shi Xian are usually in the same league.

The self-proclaimed Wu Yong, especially Shi Xian, was quite capable of killing Zhang Guozhu, but compared with Chen Bin, it was really not impressive enough, so even if he did what he did just now, in the end he would just end up on bad terms.

That’s all.

The Shi brothers left angrily, and Chen Bin did not pursue them. Lu Jue breathed a sigh of relief, but Huang Ting still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Apart from other things, Zheng Chenggong has looked at him differently since he joined Zheng Chenggong, and always entrusted him with responsibilities in various aspects. It is completely different from Shi Fu, who was completely suppressed under the Shi family and could not see the future of the Shi family.

.When he attacked Ou Ting Village earlier, even Chen Kai did not rashly interfere with his decision. It was just a suggestion, and it was only in the post-war disposal, and he was even more responsible. But this time Shi Lang

As soon as they arrived, they beat him, Chen Bin, Lu Jue and others. Even Lin Sheng, who died in the battle, was not spared. Then he began to issue orders, directly taking away his authority and status as the head coach of the partial division.

Thinking further, in the battle of Pantuoling, Chen Kai could take the risk to rescue the Ke brothers, and he could also be tolerant of their defeat. If it had been Shi Lang, it would have been a good thing to watch the jokes instead of stepping on them.

On the contrary, it was not in line with that guy's temperament.

"In terms of life and work, your Shi Lang is really far behind Chen Canjun."

Huang Ting knew that Shi Lang had such a temperament, and coupled with their common experiences, there would always be some affection for him. But despite this, Shi Lang didn't give him any face, and he treated him as a subordinate and gave orders.

Okay, he even scolded him at every turn, which made Huang Ting feel even more disgusted with him.

Soon, Shi Lang and Zuo Xianfengzhen were transferred back to the Fujian battlefield by Zheng Chenggong. Without his brother's prickly head, Shi Xian became more at ease, but there was always something strange in his eyes when he looked at Huang Ting.

During this time, Huang Ting felt extremely uncomfortable.

The battlefield in southwest Chaozhou gradually eased, and both sides lost the strength to continue advancing. There was not much movement on the Fujian side for the time being. Although Chen Kai and his party carried a large amount of extra cargo, their speed was not compromised at all.

The last time I went to Guangzhou, I arrived at the temporary port of call on Hong Kong Island in just ten days.
