"No wonder you arranged for me to be here."

Chen Kai shook his head, but he just smiled. After entering the courtyard, the maid who led the way just now was waiting for him to eat. After dinner, Chen Kai went out of the small courtyard on his own, listening to the gentle sound of the guqin.

Soon we arrived in front of the pavilion in the small garden.

"Last time in Guangzhou, Kuang Lu gave me a green qi table, which was said to belong to Emperor Wuzong's leopard room. I couldn't play it, so I gave it back to him. Now it seems that if I had known that Mrs. Zheng was good at this, I would have

I accepted it, so now I can borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."

Chen Kai listened to the song quietly, and then smiled with emotion. After hearing this, Zheng Xiyuan stood up and saluted, but it was not like Chen Kai did. On the contrary, he still felt a little worried.

"The trip to Guangzhou is extremely dangerous. I heard the people from Guangzhou who immigrated to Kinmen talk about it, and I felt frightened. I don't need a green terrace, but it is enough for me to watch Chen Canjun come back in full shape."

In that "Chen Kai's Dunkirk", Zheng Xiyuan was one of the reasons that prompted Chen Kai to work harder, but it was not the main reason. In other words, even without Zheng Xiyuan, Chen Kai had thought about going

Work hard. Otherwise, if you don't do it if you have the possibility to work hard, I'm afraid you will be resentful for the rest of your life.

Now, after exhaustive efforts, about 300,000 Guangzhou people have escaped, which is nearly half of the total number of martyrs in history. With the organizational power of this era, it is already a rare miracle. The formation killed Xu Long and Sheng Dengke

, annihilated the main fleet of the Qing Navy, and with control of the sea in hand, everything was possible. And he was promoted to the first level of Daotai, and had the military power of a battalion, which was considered a reward.

However, the girl's words, "My wish is enough" were still thrilling to Chen Kai's ears. Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, Zheng Xiyuan shook her head and signaled him not to speak and just listen to her.

Just fine.

"I have a lot to say to Chen Canjun, a lot of things I want to share with Chen Canjun, and a lot of things I want Chen Canjun to teach me. But today, I just want to play this song "Plum Blossom" for Chen Canjun

"Three Lanes", this is my concubine's praise for Chen Canjun's noble ambition and perseverance, and for the Han people who can survive because of Chen Canjun's efforts." (Note)

Plum blossoms, with noble aspirations, icy flesh and jade bones, and fragrance lingering in the cold, have always been the object of literati's praise. This "Three Plum Blossoms" was originally a flute song, mostly expressing the emotions of resentment, sorrow, and separation. By the Ming Dynasty,

It has already been written as a piece of music for the qin, which mostly expresses the praises of plum blossoms, frost, coldness, noble and unyielding moral integrity and temperament.

Unlike modern music, which is as straightforward as modern music, traditional culture emphasizes more on artistic conception, which requires calming down, quietly feeling, understanding, and aftertaste, over and over again.

In the small pavilion, the sound of the piano was melodious and melodious. Chen Kai had not received such an education, and his original sensitivity to this kind of artistic conception was lower than that of scholars of this era. Fortunately, Zheng Xiyuan's piano skills did not disappoint her father.

Show off, close your eyes and listen at this moment, no need for lyrics or narration, a white and fragrant winter plum, facing the wind and snow, appears in Chen Kai's mind like a picture. Until the end of the song, the dark fragrance does not dissipate.

After the song was played, Chen Kai and Zheng Xiyuan didn't say anything more, and there was no need to say anything more. Everything was in silence. They looked at each other for a long time before saying goodbye. Chen Kai left early the next morning.

Go and return to Xiamen Island.

In the military camp not far from the port, the Zhangquan sub-inspection patrol battalion was still practicing hard. This time, Chen Kai came up with some methods that modern people use to exercise their physical fitness, such as push-ups, which are said to be somewhat effective.

, it’s hard to say whether it’s true or not, after all, he is not a front-line officer. Chen Kai left the rest to Lin Dezhong to lead by himself. The battle formation was still the same Spanish square formation, but this time Chen Kai was justified.

After obtaining permission from Zheng Chenggong to equip the cannons and tiger cannons, this patrol battalion can be regarded as a mixed force of light firearms and cold weapons.

The soldiers were still sweating profusely on the school field, and Chen Kai soon noticed a thin guy. Without going over to take a closer look, Chen Kai knew that this "good friend" was the Guangzhou volunteer who had been betrayed by many people.

It was confirmed that the woman named Nie Yiniang who stabbed Xu Long to death was now wearing a Ming army uniform, tied up her hair like a man, struggling to hold a spear several times her height and beside her

The robes shouted loudly together and stabbed.

"She hasn't given up yet?"

Thinking that it had only been a day, but this "woman who had made military exploits" was still practicing like a man on the school field, it did make Chen Kai feel a bit familiar.

"I think that what I said earlier about joining the army that the female man is not easy to mess with is indeed very reasonable."

With her military exploits, Nie Niang repeatedly asked to join the army so that she could avenge her brother and husband in the future. This matter had already been a big deal before Chen Kai left Nan'ao. However, the Ming Dynasty was not without women.

The generals, loyal marquis Qin Liangyu, and Qin Liangyu's daughter-in-law have all been in battle. The daughter of an officer of the Jinshan Guards also served as the female general in front of Emperor Yongli. Chen Kai has no theory to refute.

in accordance with.

Nie Niang didn’t know much about Qin Liangyu’s affairs, but Hou Shizhen passed away in the third year of Yongli. At that time, Li Chengdong had changed his mind and was living in Zhaoqing. Many Guangzhou people who had been to Zhaoqing during that period had heard about it.

This strange story about a woman becoming a general is nothing new in Guangzhou.

This Nie Niang didn't cry or make trouble, she just argued hard, and the results reached Zheng Chenggong's ears. God knows whether Zheng Chenggong was happy to see Chen Kai's jokes, but instead persuaded Chen Kai to let her try out the hard life in the army, which made her

Unfortunately, I couldn't bear it any longer after a few days.

In this regard, Chen Kai didn't think there was anything wrong, so he simply asked Nie Niang to go into the camp and fight around. As for whether he could persist or not, it was not up to him. Of course, even if he persisted

, Chen Kai did not intend to let her hang out with a group of men in the camp and serve as a rescue soldier. I think it would be good for the morale of the army.

Chen Kai remembered that equality between men and women means the improvement of women's economic capabilities and the need for war and production. It is unrealistic to talk about gender equality in this era, but he has never believed that women as a group do not have war potential, especially in

When men go to war, women can completely support an industrial system, as long as industrialization reaches a certain level.

The Biao Battalion is still practicing step by step, and there are no combat missions for the time being. It seems that it has consumed too much energy last year, and the Qing troops in Fujian and Guangdong provinces have temporarily entered a stage of rest. The coast of Xiamen Island is calm as usual, but Zheng Chenggong's

Beside, a storm was falling on the head of King Qin's army.
