Zheng Hongkui's question was like a wake-up call. The scene that Chen Kai least expected to imagine happened in front of him, which was in response to Zeng Ying's warning to him earlier.

Thinking of this, Chen Kai couldn't help but smile bitterly. Originally, he knew the history of the late Ming Dynasty and hated the Donglin Party the most. Sun Chengzong was probably the only exception. As long as others were labeled as Donglin, he would preemptively generalize them.

He was regarded as a hypocrite who only knew how to tell stories. Now it seems that whether this is an instigation or not, Zeng Ying is a person who cannot be underestimated. This ability to see people and things is destined to be an extraordinary person.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Kai tried his best to calm down, and then explained to Zheng Hongkui: "Guo Xing has been kind to me, and you are willing to marry me your daughter. I, Chen Kai, am naturally grateful. But, Zheng

Zhiwan fled before fighting and plundered the gold, silver and jewels stored in the city, which were worth no less than 900,000 taels of gold. These were needed by the army and should be used to support the strong men and regain the lost territory. I advised him

My wife and the prince also tried to persuade him, but to no avail. He just insisted on running and forced me to run with him. I want to ask, if I don’t kill him, how can I keep this right?"

These words, slightly modified and restored to their original appearance, were what Chen Kai wanted to explain to Zheng Xiyuan. Because he knew that Zheng Zhiwan was very good to this niece, and he needed to explain to Zheng Xiyuan. It was just that it was very difficult to explain to Zheng Xiyuan.

Unfortunately, after explaining his daughter to her father, Chen Kai asked himself that he had made it very clear, but Zheng Hongkui was still angry and seemed to be even more angry.

"You are a sub-inspector and the prefect of Zhangzhou. You have no obligation to guard the city in Zhongzuo. But don't forget that you are the son-in-law of my Zheng family. How can you kill your elders!"

Zheng Hongkui was very angry, but Chen Kai was not less angry. After hearing these words, he already understood that there was no way to communicate with Zheng Hongkui, so he simply said, "I am an official of the imperial court, and only the Emperor's Holy Magistrate can

A joint review by the three legal tribunals or the person with the imperial surname who is fully responsible for military and political affairs has the right to decide whether I am at fault." After saying that, he handed over and left, turning around to leave.

As a result, this move aroused Zheng Hongkui's anger, and he immediately asked Chen Kai to go back to Zhongzuo, waiting for Zheng Chenggong to come back to judge whether he had exceeded his authority and whether he was guilty.

After leaving the cabin, with the sea breeze blowing, Chen Kai's anger had faded a lot, but the word sadness became more and more serious. Zheng Hongkui had no intention of killing him from the beginning, and showing him the two letters was just a further test.

His attitude towards the Zheng family. As a result, he remained consistent on the inside and outside. When Zheng Hongkui thought of Zheng Zhiwan's death, his anger overshadowed everything else.

The talks completely collapsed. It’s funny to say that neither of them knew that Zheng Chenggong had predicted a long time ago that Zheng Hongkui could not use Chen Kai, and Chen Kai would not be convinced by Zheng Hongkui. To put it bluntly, Zheng Chenggong had already seen clearly that he

In his eyes, the fourth uncle only saw the interests of his family, the Ishii Zheng family, and no country or nation. However, Chen Kai was a national scholar, and what he valued was the country and nation. This was the biggest difference and contradiction between the two of them.

Family or nation, individual or country, this is the biggest difference between Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui and even other warlords in the late Ming Dynasty. Chen Kai remembered that many people said that Zheng Chenggong was ruthless and ruthless.

The uncle fled without a fight and beheaded him in public, leaving his body exposed for three days. Even his own son, the heir to the Zheng Group, had an affair with his younger brother's wet nurse.

The mother and son were executed together just because the incestuous person would not be able to withstand the temptation and would not be able to support this military and political group. There would be no way to inherit his legacy and complete the great cause of expelling the Tartars!

Yes, Zheng Chenggong is indeed ruthless, but his ruthlessness is the greatest responsibility for this country and nation. At least it is better than those guys who put their personal interests before the country and the nation.

The Qing Dynasty became obedient people, or died like Tengjiao. Those guys who try to use their so-called integrity to cover up their numerous crimes that have harmed the country and the people are much stronger.

If he had to make a choice, Chen Kai would rather choose the ruthless Zheng Chenggong than these scumbags. Because Zheng Chenggong's ruthlessness only existed for those who violated his will to expel the Tartars. At this point, he

He and Chen Kai are indeed the same type of person as Zheng Chenggong said when he came back this time!

"I was impulsive. What I did was to promote this incident. It was to eliminate these Qing troops, not to fight against Zheng Hongkui. But now, I am putting the cart before the horse, which is inappropriate."

Chen Kai asked himself that he could always remain calm and restrained on weekdays, which was his advantage, but sometimes he still couldn't restrain emotions that shouldn't have appeared. However, after all, he was not a robot without emotions. He was a human being, and he would

If there are feelings, there will be emotions. Otherwise, he would be either ignorant or a slave of interests. He would not be as passionate about the country and the nation as he is.

Adjusting his breathing again, Chen Kai calmed down his fluctuating emotions while thinking about how to persuade Zheng Hongkui. After a while, relying on the experience accumulated in the workplace, he already had a plan, and then he sorted it out a little.

The government then opened Zheng Hongkui's cabin door again.

"Why, does Chen Daotai have anything else to teach me, a mountain villager?"

Zheng Hongkui's anger is far from subsided, but it is normal to say that Chen Kai is not only an official, but also his son-in-law. Even if they are not married yet, his daughter is already considered the wife of the Chen family. Chen Kai is so businesslike

No one in the public office would have a good temper towards his father-in-law.

"What I did just now is indeed rude to me. Please forgive me. As for the matter of Zheng Zhiwan, as you said, it is better to wait until Guo Xing comes back before making a decision. I am really here to destroy this bandit army.

I believe that the Duke was originally determined to give the Tatars a good look, but he just cares about it and becomes confused."

“Care leads to chaos?”

Chen Kai was so kind and kind. Zheng Hongkui didn't hold on to what happened just now, but after hearing this word, he still frowned and allowed Chen Kai to continue talking.

"From what I can see, the Grand Master has been taken captive to the capital for several years. Being able to treat him like this shows that they are not people who keep their promises. But now they would rather keep the Grand Master, and would rather spend money and food to support and monitor the Grand Master.

The reason for every move is still due to the army under the command of the Duke and Damu. Otherwise, if the Zheng family is just a family of merchants, they will not be kneaded by the Tatars as much as they want..."

"Let's make it clear, Ma Degong's threats are just big words. The stronger the Duke and Damu are, the less the Tatars dare to do anything to the Taishi, and the less they dare to do anything to the Zheng clan in Anping Town. On the contrary.

Yes, the more we show weakness, the more they will poop and piss on us. This truth cannot be wrong..."

"Even to say something that may seem ridiculous, the more the Duke and Damu beat the Tatars, the more the Tatars will treat the Grand Master favorably. At that time, if they can't beat them, they will find another way, such as recruiting peace, then

It is even more necessary to treat the Grand Master well as a minimum sincerity..."

Historically, this was the attitude of the Qing court towards Zheng Zhilong. What Chen Kai said was true, and following Zheng Hongkui's train of thought, it was not incomprehensible to him. After listening to this talk, Zheng Hongkui had already begun

He thought deeply. Moreover, it didn't take long for him to realize the existence of another problem.

"So, the Tatars tortured and killed my Zheng family members outside the city of Zhongzuosuo, just to drive a wedge between you and my Zheng family?"

"The Duke is wise."

Thoughts continued. Judging from the breathing frequency and the restoration of the old name of the font size, Chen Kai was certain. After some analysis, Zheng Hongkui's anger was constantly fading. This is a good trend, at least for now.

, quarreling is meaningless, and you should not lose your mind because of anger.

Next, Chen Kai began to introduce his plan. For example, he announced to the outside world that Zheng Hongkui suddenly contracted an illness and could not be a director, and Chen Kai, his son-in-law, temporarily took over the fleet. Or he, Chen Kai, kidnapped Zheng Hongkui and forced Zheng Hongkui's fleet to

Fight. Anyway, he has killed Zheng Zhiwan, and it is not impossible for him to do something extraordinary again. Or he may have agreed to Ma Degong on the surface, and waited until Ma Degong got on the ship and reached the sea before inviting him.

After a meal of wonton noodles, could that landlubber from Liaodong still swim to Anping Town and murder the Zheng clan members?

There were many methods, all of which he had calculated before. Chen Kai explained it in detail, and Zheng Hongkui seemed to listen to it. After the plan was finished, he silently waited for Zheng Hongkui's reply. Unexpectedly,

After a long time, Zheng Hongkui, who seemed a little moved just now, finally shook his head.

"Jing Cheng, my elder brother's side may be like what you said. After all, there are many intelligent people in the imperial court, and they can still distinguish the priorities. But the desperado Ma Degong is really anxious.

The dog jumped over the wall and sent the generals to Anping Town to massacre, putting my mother and brothers and clan members in danger. That is unfilial and disloyal. I cannot take this risk."

After saying these words, Zheng Hongkui looked at Chen Kai who was stunned on the spot. He sighed, stood up, walked to Chen Kai's side, stretched out his big rough hand and held Chen Kai's arm.

"Jingcheng, I have heard that your hometown was massacred by the Tatars a few years ago, and all the people in the city were killed. After you get married to Yuanyuan, you still have to pay more attention to the affairs of our Zheng family. Once
