A thousand pieces of gold and horse bones. Speaking of which, Chen Kai was also viewed this way by Zheng Chenggong back then. However, within a few days, Chen Kai proved his ability and continued to give confidence to those who were determined to fight in the following days.

Zheng Chenggong still needs to continue to consider the appointment of Wang Jiang. Especially as to whether King Lu will go south to defect to him, Zheng Chenggong is not too inclined. But for these Zhejiang people who have been brought back to Zhejiang by Chen Kai

He is still somewhat interested in understanding Ming Jun.

"Are these guys planning to surrender?"

"Yes, but I think about it, we still need to have the heart to avoid past mistakes, treat illnesses and save others, and kill the leaders and spare their lives."

"Well, we can't let the Tatar navy recover too quickly." Thinking of this, Zheng Chenggong remembered a word: "Sea control is what you said before. The advantage of King Wang now is the navy.

This is truly something that cannot be compromised.”

The Zheng Group's navy was originally dominant in the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong. With its navy, it could achieve rapid maneuvers, while the Qing army could only be passively beaten.

These Zhejiang Ming Army naval forces will not strengthen the Fujian Ming Army Navy much, but they can curb the recovery speed of the Qing Army Navy. Zheng Chenggong is still very satisfied with this. However, after half a year, the Qing Army Navy has

The division was not without generals and veterans who were good at naval warfare. Shi Fu and Cai Xing and his fleet, although small in size, still posed a threat to the Ming army's coastal island strongholds.

"Now that our army has controlled Haitan Island, I plan to continue to expand further northward and strive to control all the islands in northern Fujian. This way, the Japanese army cannot detect the situation at sea, and our army can attack from everywhere...

…”

Zheng Chenggong was strategically always in an offensive position against the Qing army on the southeast coast. This was due to his advantage in controlling the sea. However, once it went deep into the inland, the Ming army's maritime advantage would be rapidly weakened. Today's Chaozhou is the most

Good example.

"...The situation in Chaozhou is like this. I originally planned to march to Quanzhou to set up an ambush. Now it seems that I can only return to Chaozhou and try to defeat Hao Shangjiu and Su Li first. I will leave it to you if Zhongzuo Suo succeeds.

Already."

The decline of the Ming army in Chaozhou has appeared. On both the north and south fronts, the Qing army's offensives are very fierce. Coupled with the internal disputes between locals and foreigners caused by the division of land for farming, if the problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, the Qing army and those locals will be frightened.

If people were to be honest, the rule of the Ming army in Chaozhou Prefecture for many years would collapse amid internal and external difficulties.

Historically, Zheng Chenggong had withdrawn from the Chaozhou battlefield one month before he attacked the Zhongzuo Station. Therefore, when he was winning consecutive battles in southern Fujian, there was no military or political pressure to face in the Chaozhou direction.

Over the years, Chen Kai has greatly strengthened this army, making their results in the Fujian battlefield more brilliant, containing and killing more Qing troops, but it has not yet reached the level of qualitative change. However, Chaozhou is Guangdong after all.

In the area under its jurisdiction, the Ming army now had to face the military pressure of the Qing army in two provinces at the same time. There were also huge problems such as the dispute between natives and guests. In fact, it became a burden that prevented Zheng Chenggong from continuing to implement his southern Fujian strategy.

"Damu, a great situation in southern Fujian is about to begin, wouldn't it be a pity to just give up?"

Chen Kai was talking about current facts, and through the fog of history, he clearly remembered that Zheng Chenggong should have another great victory this year, which would open up the situation in southern Fujian and enter the rhythm of quickly conquering cities and territories. Not to mention how this rhythm is

It was interrupted because Chen Kai didn't know if he could save the situation. But if he simply gave up the current good situation because he foreseeed the possible disadvantages in the future, what's the difference between giving up on eating because of choking?

After hearing Chen Kai's question, Zheng Chenggong sighed. Chaozhou has been recovered for a long time, and manpower, food, taxes, and goods can all be said to be the most stable provider. It is the foundation of this Ming army, no less

In this Zhongzuo Suo. Now the collapse of Chaozhou is imminent. If he goes to solve the local problems as soon as possible, he may be able to ensure the security of this controlled area; but if he cannot do so, I am afraid that even if he captures the capital of Zhangzhou, Chaozhou will collapse.

The ripple effects spread to southern Fujian. When the time comes, he will have to face the siege of the Qing army from two to three provinces at the same time, and the chance of winning will only be even lower!

"There is no other way. Chaozhou is a place that our army must defend, and we must not lose anything..."

The southern Fujian strategy in the past six months was planned by Zheng Chenggong. Now the situation is extremely favorable to the Ming army, so he just gave up. Zheng Chenggong felt the most uncomfortable in his heart. But there was no way. In the environment where the enemy was strong and we were weak, everything had to be difficult.

There is such a big problem in Chaozhou, and there is nothing we can do if all our efforts are wasted.

"As I said before, the Zhongzuo position depends on Jingjing. I will leave you a few troops in the town. If you have spare strength, send troops to harass the Zhangquan Prefecture and maintain your power until I come back!"

Zheng Chenggong looked sad, and Chen Kai just looked at him. He opened his mouth to respond several times, but still didn't say anything. It wasn't until a long time later that Zheng Chenggong began to be surprised by Chen Kai's performance, but he took a deep breath and said decisively.

He replied: "The King's Division in Zhejiang is finished. The governor-general in Jiangxi doesn't know how long they can last. Once the battlefield in Jiangxi completely collapses, the Tatars can mobilize a larger army to aid Fujian. This year is the opening of southern Fujian.

The last good opportunity in the situation must not be given up easily."

Speaking of this, there was no longer any hesitation in Chen Kai's eyes. The firmness was the same as when he advised Zheng Chenggong to invade Chaozhou and rescue the people of Guangzhou. Soon after, he gave Zheng Chenggong the opportunity to pierce the shady story.

dawn.

"We want to regain the lost territory and restore the Han Dynasty. Once we start, we will never stop. If you can trust me, then I will go to Chaozhou to take charge, and you, Damu, will continue to launch the offensive against the Japanese troops in southern Fujian."

If Zheng Chenggong could trust one person wholeheartedly, then in the Zheng Group, there would be no second person except Chen Kai. However, the serious deterioration of the situation in Chaozhou has made Zheng Chenggong find it difficult to deal with it, so

Chen Kai alone, even if he has outstanding abilities, may not be able to cope with it.

At this moment, Chen Kai saw Zheng Chenggong's hesitation. He firmly believed that Southern Fujian's victory could not be stopped. As for Chaozhou, he did not have a 100% chance of success as Zheng Chenggong expected.

, but regardless of the current situation or the past, even if there is only one percent chance of success, he will try his best to give it a try.

"Of course I won't take risks alone. Damu, you have to give me the patrol camp and give me full authority on the Chaozhou battlefield. In addition, I also want Wang Jiang and Jiang Mei'ao. If you don't give it to me,

no!"

Zheng Chenggong was particularly moved when he heard the rogue tone. Wang Jiang and Jiang Meiao were both brought back by Chen Kai this time. The patrol camp was originally an army under Chen Kai. In the past six months, it has only served as a center-left command post.

The city defense troops were used by the troops, and they did not participate in his offensive on the battlefield in southern Fujian. As for the full power of the Chaozhou battlefield, this is what it should be. Otherwise, without coordinated operations, how could it be possible to withstand such internal and external difficulties?

Up to now, Chen Kai still hasn't used any soldiers in each town. Even if Chen Kai hadn't gone through such a situation, his assistants would have only been the five hundred soldiers patrolling the road marking camp.

.Obviously, Chen Kai wholeheartedly desires that he can open up the situation in southern Fujian, and for this reason, he even does not hesitate to increase the pressure on himself. People who are walking together like this are the real brothers who can truly trust him.

It has transcended the realm of blood.

"In that case, I will entrust Chaozhou to Jingcheng." Standing up, Zheng Chenggong bowed his hand and then added: "In addition to what you want, I will also send you the support and suppression of the back town. If the situation cannot be restored,

Please also delay it as long as possible until I open up the situation in southern Fujian."
