"Jingcheng, the breakup of the engagement was not Yuan Yuan's intention. Is it possible that you still want to betray her?"

When Chen Kai's words came out, Zheng Chenggong was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out. Chen Kai was very lucky to have the opportunity to see the more humane side of the ruthless Zheng Chenggong. At least he still had some humanity towards his cousin. However, in this case,

He had already decided on the matter, and he had even started planning the moment he saw the fear in Zheng Jing's eyes. Now that Zhongzuo was done, he had to set off. Hopefully, it wasn't too late.

.

"I never planned to let her down. This time, I will be back in half a year at most and three months at least." After saying that, Chen Kai took out a letter from his arms and placed it in Zheng Chenggong's treasure.

Before the case: "This is the letter I wrote to her. Lao Damu put it in her hands. She should know my feelings."

The envelope was unsealed, so Chen Kai obviously had nothing to hide from him. Zheng Chenggong picked up the envelope, turned it over, and put it down again. He then took the candlestick in his hand, moved his wrist, and let the flames burn upward.

The candle, being roasted and burned by the fire, would not feel good. Tears dripped from the candle and gradually became a piece on the envelope. Immediately, Zheng Chenggong put down the candlestick and reached out to Chen Kai for the small seal he carried with him.

, it was printed directly on the candle tears.

"This is a love letter you wrote to Yuan Yuan. As an elder brother, I can only keep secrets for my sister and brother-in-law. Why don't Yuan Yuan complain about the envelope being so wide open?"

While joking, the image of a brother who resolutely delivered love letters between his sister and his sweetheart despite the objections of his elders in the family was so straightforwardly presented in front of Chen Kai that he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

According to the chain of allegiance in feudal society, Chen Kai was promoted from a humble position by Zheng Chenggong. He was an absolute confidant of Zheng Chenggong. And as a confidant, he and Zheng Chenggong's cousin are now considered husband and wife. In this relationship of monarch and minister,

Then it got mixed up with the relationship between relatives.

Just like what Dong Yougu hinted to Chen Kai earlier, as a close confidant of Zheng Chenggong, Chen Kai should help Zheng Chenggong as his brother-in-law. After his death, Chen Kai even started to train Zheng Chenggong.

When he became the heir, he should also act as an uncle to help his nephew Zheng Jing.

This is the logic and tradition that is most in line with feudal morality. Under normal circumstances, it will continue to develop like this in the future. But unfortunately, Chen Kai was not born in this feudal society, and he does not think that working here with Zheng Chenggong means that he has a relationship with Zheng Chenggong.

The relationship between them will naturally not be restricted by those feudal traditions.

Originally, he had doubts about Zheng Jing as the heir to the Zheng Group. This was based on Zheng Jing's actions and abilities in history. But now, when Zheng Jing's eyes revealed that indelible fear

, Chen Kai knew very well that sooner or later he would have a life-and-death struggle with Zheng Jing. But within the Zheng Group, it would be difficult for a close confidant of his to compete with the heir, so more outside forces would be introduced as a

Help, what he wants to do now is this!

"There is no party outside the party, imperial thinking; there is no faction within the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. I will not be stupid enough to train Zheng Jing and let him use my head to pave the way for him to reach the top of his life."

Thinking of this, the heartstrings touched by the warmth of human nature returned to calm. Chen Kai expressed his gratitude to Zheng Chenggong for his trust, and then expressed that he still needed Zheng Chenggong to send someone to protect and help him during this trip. Otherwise, he would have to leave alone.

It's not a big problem to get to Jiangxi, but it's even more difficult to get things done.

"Jingcheng, whether it's Guangdong or Fujian, there are still many places that need your efforts. Is it necessary to go to Jiangxi?"

"Damu, things are different now. I've been thinking about this for a long time, and now it's reached the point where I can't do anything without it."

Speaking of this, Chen Kai sighed, and then said: "In recent years, the reason why our army has been able to develop rapidly in eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian is not only the overwhelming advantage of our army's own strength over the surrounding forces, but also the reason why our army has been able to develop rapidly in eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian.

When Yulu Division faced Li Chengdong, anyway, the King of Lu in northern Fujian and the original brothers Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian were always in a state of exhaustion, and the main force could not take care of our army at all. However, now that King Lu is heading north to Zhejiang, Guangzhou is still gratified

At the same time, our army also annexed the forces of Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers. Now they are alone. Our army’s bitter battle in southern Fujian the year before last and the two-sided attack last year were all caused by the continuous deterioration of the surrounding strategic environment.

To.”

"Then according to your opinion, we should try to contact the rebels in Jiangxi?"

Zheng Chenggong knew more or less about the rebels in Jiangxi through the Zheng family's relationship network and trade network. Speaking of which, Jiangxi's anti-Qing rebels were larger in scale than those in Fujian, but the combat effectiveness of each department was at a loss for Zheng Chenggong at this moment.

Just scoffing can already explain the situation.

"Contact is necessary. Their combat effectiveness is indeed weak, but they have always restrained a large number of Jiangxi rebels from being taken care of. Even Fujian's rebels, such as Yang Minggao's Fujian Tibiao, have been repeatedly transferred

Go to Jiangxi to assist in the war. Their presence can help our army take a lot of pressure off of us, so there is nothing wrong with going there."

Not only Yang Minggao, but also the troops of Wang Zhigang, the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Left Army, were constantly transferred to Jiangxi by the Qing government to assist in the suppression. Many famous anti-Qing rebel leaders in Jiangxi died at his hands. But now, because Zheng Chenggong’s troops are in Chaozhou

As the situation got bigger, Wang Zhigang, the culprit of the Shaowu Massacre, was always restrained in Zhangzhou Mansion and did not dare to leave even half a step, especially after Wang Bangjun died in Pantuoling.

The existence of the Fujian Ming Army has reduced a lot of military pressure on the Jiangxi Ming Army. However, their combat effectiveness is indeed unsatisfactory. Chen Kai doesn't know exactly what the current situation is, but if you take a risk, you may be rewarded.

It is a bigger space, both for Fujian Mingjun and himself.

"Although the battle of Zhongzuo Suo ended in victory for our army, the natural moat of the Strait has been passed by the Japanese army once, so the army officers will feel uneasy. At this stage, our army should still focus on recovering Zhangzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture.

The goal is to strive to turn the center and left into a hinterland, so as to alleviate the uneasiness of the soldiers."

Regarding Chaozhou, Chen Kai's opinion is to be on the defensive and keep working hard. Zhang Jin, Du Hui, Hong Xishan, Ye Yiyun and others are responsible for the military and government affairs there, and there is no need for him for the time being. Rather than waste time here

Time, it is better to go to Jiangxi to open up the third battlefield...
