"On the sixth day of the first lunar month in winter, Su Li, the commander-in-chief of Jieshi, raided Huilai County. The main barracks was defeated, the commander-in-chief Lu Jue was killed, and the county magistrate Wang Huizhi hanged himself..."

"On the fourteenth day of the winter lunar month, Chen Bin, the chief military officer of Houjin Town who was stationed in Chaoyang County, rebelled, seized the county seat, and immediately surrendered..."

"Early this morning, Uncle Zhang received accurate information from Cheng Xiang, saying that Hao Shangjiu's captives seemed to have plans against Cheng Xiang..."

The sun rises in the east and rains in the west. Sometimes this kind of thing is inevitable, because Zheng Chenggong only has so many soldiers and horses, and the strategic focus of the army shifts to Xiamen, so Chaozhou will inevitably be empty.

It is undeniable that each county does have garrisons to ensure local defense. For example, in Fucheng, Chengxiang, and Chenghai, no less than the number of soldiers and horses of the Army Division Zhanbing Town have been assembled to ensure the safety of these key points.

Therefore, while Chen Hui was transferred to the Zhongzuo Command to control the Zheng Lian Navy, Zheng Chenggong also transferred Hong Xishan, who was originally in charge of local affairs in Chaoyang, to Chenghai to fill the vacancy. Fortunately, more than half of Zheng Hongkui's troops were also stationed in Jieyang County, as well as Huang Ting

, Shi Xian, Chen Bin, and Lu Jue are located in the southwestern part of Chaozhou. They are not short of troops. However, when great changes and coincidences occur suddenly, everything is no longer as indestructible as imagined.

"I have long said that Li Chengdong's subordinates will be surrendered sooner or later. Putting aside Yan Keyi, Yang Dafu, Luo Chengyao, Huang Yingjie, Zhang Daocheng, and now Hao Shangjiu, they are not fucking good people.

Even Du Yonghe, Zhang Yue and Dong Fangce are the same..."

"Earlier in Huilai, I told Lu Jue to be careful with Su Li, but I didn't believe it..."

"And that Chen Bin is not a good bird either. He followed Huang Hairu back then and ran away when he saw that Huang Hairu was weak. When Guo Xing was strong, he willingly joined him. Guo Xing treated him with kindness, but

This guy is ungrateful, he is just an ignorant white-eyed wolf, and now he actually surrendered to the Tatars..."

"..."

In the festival hall in the city on the left, Shi Lang was loudly scorning Hao Shangjiu, who had pressed him so hard, and Huang Ting and others who "didn't listen to him". He even increased his intensity and scolded Chen Bin.

His head was full of blood, and he also mentioned the past few times when he and Chen Kai had quarreled, and Chen Bin jumped out to "pick troubles", trying to imply that Chen Bin and Chen Kai cherished each other, and that they must be the same thing.

Zheng Chenggong was on top, but he never mentioned anything else after explaining the news. Instead, he turned over and over an inconspicuous letter, as if he had discovered a new world.

Similar.

"...The last general is a rough man and has never read a book, but he still understands the principle of repaying kindness. The country's surname is that the kindness of the last general is as deep as the sea..."

"... In the past few years, General Mo has worked conscientiously under the command of Guo Xing, but General Mo has a straightforward temper, which offended the Shi brothers. General Mo is proud of his bravery and is not afraid of his two brothers, but recently there are rumors that Shi Lang is plotting against General Shi in front of Guo Xing.

, I also heard that the Fujian generals in the army cannot trust Cantonese like the last general..."

"...The general will not want to die under the slander of a young man like Shi Lang, but he will never be an enemy of Guo Xing. This surrender of captives is definitely not his intention. I also ask Guo Xing to forgive me..."

"..."

In the festival hall, Shi Lang was still loudly denouncing Hao Shangjiu, Lu Jue, Chen Bin and others, one by one, one by one. Shi Lang seemed to have been prepared for everything over the years. He saw everything about these people.

Unaccustomed to this, he would dig out old sesame seeds and rotten millet for the generals to comment on, and find evidence of their incompetence or disloyalty to prove his foresight.

Rubbing the words on his fingertips, the handwriting is neat, but the vulgarity is also obvious. It seems that Chen Bin asked the army to write the Chinese book for him, and he used his original words. When Zheng Chenggong thought about it carefully, Shi Lang was trying to frame him.

Just what happened in the past few months, if there was not a gap of more than a month in between, it would have been almost seamless with what he had previously taught Zheng Chenggong that people from other provinces and Fujian people are not of the same mind, and used this to exclude Chen Kai.

There seems to be a natural incompatibility between Chen Kai and Shi Lang, but if you think about it carefully, Chen Kai has a good relationship with Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding. He has had conflicts with Hong Xu, Chen Bao and even Chen Hui.

People who had quarrels with each other can now live in harmony with each other, let alone Ke Chenshu, Ke Chenmei and Du Hui, who have experienced life and death together.

On the other hand, Shi Lang used his uncle Shi Fu's status under Zheng Zhilong in his early years to get at odds with some of the Zheng family generals; later he was transferred to Huang Daozhou, but was even kicked back by Huang Daozhou; in Li Chengdong's case, he was at odds with Li Chengdong's subordinates.

The generals were at odds with each other and were ostracized; anyway, after returning, they first broke up with Chen Kai, and then had many conflicts with other generals, even Huang Ting, let alone Chen Bin who refuted his face several times.

.

Here, it is self-evident without asking whose problem it is!

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Zheng Chenggong's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by even greater unbearability. Shi Lang hadn't finished his speech yet, but Zheng Chenggong didn't want to listen anymore. He calmed down and then

He put forward the strategy of returning to Chaozhou. Among other things, Su Li had pierced him several times, and this time it was time to remove it completely.

Zheng Chenggong had made up his mind, and the army was quickly mobilized. The army was about to go out, and Zheng Zhiguan, who was in charge of the local affairs of the Zhongzuo Suo, came over and asked for troops to be stationed on Xiamen Island. To put it bluntly, he wanted the right of a left-behind commander.

Zheng Zhiwan is Zheng Chenggong's third uncle, not to mention his brothers who are one step younger than his father, Ping Guo Gong Zheng Zhilong, fourth uncle Ding Guo Gong Zheng Hongkui, fifth uncle Cheng Jibo Zheng Zhibao, and clan uncle Yan Guo Gong Zheng Zhipeng.

His surname, his cousin Jianpinghou Zhengtai, his clan brothers Yongsheng Bo Zhengcai and Dingyuan Bo Zheng Lian are also very inferior.

In the Zheng family, most people do not think highly of Zheng Zhiwan. Zheng Chenggong also has such a sense, but in this plan to seize Xiamen, Zheng Zhiwan performed well, and he seemed to be a late bloomer. Because

In this way, Zheng Chenggong appointed him to take charge of local affairs in Zhongzuo. It was also a kind of experience and test. Now due to the changes in Chaozhou, he had to leave here temporarily. However, he was always a little uneasy about Zheng Zhiwan's request.

"Third uncle, in the past Zheng Cai was in Zhongzuo, and the Japanese army did not dare to invade. Now that Zheng Cai has escaped, all the naval forces under Zheng Lian's army belong to me. I want to go to Chaozhou. If the Japanese army comes to invade, how will you defend it?

Can you take on this responsibility?"

"Please rest assured, my dear nephew, if we set up a waterway with troops and horses to control the town, and leave it to my uncle to prepare defenses, and the enemy invades, if there is any mistake, I will obey the military order!"

"All right."

Zheng Zhiwan was high-spirited, and Zheng Chenggong couldn't dissuade him. He simply appointed Ruan Yin of Qianchong Town and He De of Youchong Town to be stationed in important places on the island to assist and suppress the rear town. Governor Lan Deng led his officers and soldiers to defend the center and left.

Follow Zheng Zhiwan's instructions. At the same time, leave Weiyuan Hou's wife Dong Yougu and the crown prince Zheng Jing to guard the center and left to reassure people.

Adjustments were made to the defense, and Zheng Chenggong pledged his allegiance to the expedition on Sunlight Rock on Gulangyu Island. Not only did he have to remove Su Li's thorn in the side, Zheng Chenggong also needed to be prepared for Huang Yingjie and Hao Shangjiu's rescue of Su Li. At the same time, the situation in Guangzhou changed.

With more troops in hand, he feels more at ease. Even if Chen Kai's estimate is wrong and the Qing army cannot capture Guangzhou in the winter months, Zheng Chenggong feels that it is not impossible to take this army to go through troubled waters.

.

The army set out for the expedition and soon arrived at Nan'ao Island. The fleet was stationed on Nan'ao Island and Chenghai County. On the day Zheng Chenggong arrived on the island, he received news. First, Huanggang Huang Hairu conspired to rebel and was executed by Raoping guard Guo Tai;

Huang Liangcai, who was guarding Puning, colluded with Su Li, but Huang Ting saw through it and took advantage of it. Not only did he kill Huang Liangcai, but he also defeated Su Li. Su Li was frustrated, and now the battle line has been initially stabilized.

These two pieces of news are not bad news, but they also expose another problem, that is, the Chaozhou bandits still have the problem of being undecided. This is undoubtedly not a potential threat, which makes Zheng Chenggong worried. After all, it is

People's hearts are separated from each other. Even if Huang Hairu is a famous wallflower, it is difficult for him to predict other people in advance.

People's hearts still needed further stability, and Zheng Chenggong was not in a hurry to return to Xiamen or go to Jieshi to deal with Su Li. However, before he could make his next plan, the messenger who had returned from Guangzhou to report the news arrived by boat.

The news he brought back from Nan'ao Island made him take a deep breath, who was originally mixed with joy and sorrow.
