"I have decided that Feng Canjun went to Japan to beg for help. As for the reason, Marquis Jianping has been to Japan for many years, and Chen Canjun also analyzed the situation in Japan. Japan is now in a relationship between the shogunate and the various vassals.

The state will not send troops to help."

The Battle of Sekigahara fifty-one years ago established Japan's current political situation. The Tokugawa shogunate dominated the scene, but there were still many famous names below who were eyeing it, such as the Satsuma Domain. This almost solidified situation continued until Kurofune.

The outbreak of the incident began to fall apart in the face of the strong ships and guns of the Western powers. After eleven years of brewing, it finally led to the outbreak of the overthrow movement.

However, that was already two hundred years later. During this period, the Qing army entered the customs, and Nanming also sent people to Japan to ask for reinforcements. In response, vassals such as Satsuma responded positively, and they did not care where they came from.

The Ming army along the way just hoped to expand their own strength by participating in the Ming and Qing wars. However, their little thoughts were all understood by the Tokugawa shogunate. In order to maintain a balanced political situation, the Tokugawa shogunate said they could do nothing.

Agreed. This is due to core interests and cannot be changed by Feng Chengshi's humble words in his remonstrance.

Compared with history, Zheng Chenggong controlled one more Chaozhou Prefecture, and the huge losses caused by Ma Degong's raid on Xiamen Island were also avoided. Thanks to Chen Kai's luck, Zheng Chenggong controlled more power than ever before.

, the financial pressure on military supplies is not as severe. With his always proud temper, there is indeed no need to beg Japan for assistance.

Zheng Chenggong rejected this advice, but Feng Chengshi didn't care. Originally, this was just an alternative. His core plan was to mint coins to strengthen the economic strength of Zheng Chenggong's department and at the same time strengthen his position in the Zheng Group.

The right to speak internally and from the Ordnance Bureau. Now that Zheng Chenggong has agreed to mint coins, it is a great joy. It is a great joy.

After reporting on the resumption of production at the Ordnance Bureau, Feng Chengshi returned to the Ordnance Bureau to continue his work. Seeing him come back, his son Feng Xifan followed up the official office and asked about the situation. As for Zheng Chenggong, he did not plan to go to Japan to seek advice.

He didn't show any dissatisfaction with the matter, but he still seemed worried about the coinage.

"Father, the key now is copper. Without copper, it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

Feng Chengshi was naturally more aware of this than Feng Xifan. Seeing this, he explained his plans to collect Shunzhi Tongbao from the Qing Dynasty and old copper coins from the Ming Dynasty for recasting, but Feng Xifan always felt that such a gesture was too much.

It is small, not ambitious enough, and it is difficult to achieve results quickly.

"Father, if my son wants to come here, he will be idle, so why not melt those guns..."

"No, absolutely not!"

The so-called secondary gun is a replica of the spiritual gun that Zheng Hongkui fished out at Jieyang Pier. Chen Kai copied it twice in total. Counting the original gun, there are seven in total. Two are placed in Nan'ao, and the other five are

, Zheng Chenggong originally shipped two of them to Hong Kong, but later he was reluctant to part with them. Now, Zheng Chenggong has shipped them all back to Zhongzuo Institute.

In addition to the Linggun, these cannons have been used several times, but there is really no chance for replicas. Even when Chen Kai was guarding Xiamen, he did not dare to move them onto the city wall because of the excessive recoil of these artillery pieces. In this way, as Feng Xifan pointed out

It was so idle and useless. But after hearing this, Feng Chengshi immediately stood up and pointed at Feng Xifan's nose and shouted: "You kid, since you regard him as an enemy, you must know yourself and the enemy. You are always so stupid.

When will my irritable temper change?"

After saying that, Feng Chengshi threw a copy of the Tang newspaper on Feng Xifan and asked him to take a good look. Facing his father, the latter did not dare to say anything. He shrank his neck and said, "Father, please calm down."

He quickly opened the newspaper. Before he could do it, his face turned livid, and he immediately said to Feng Chengshi, "Father, this must be what Chen Kai did deliberately!"

The content of the Tang newspaper was nothing more than Chen Kai's campaign to annihilate Su Li. It mentioned the details of using two muskets to blow down the walls of the Jieshi Acropolis and allowing the army to file in.

In the Ming Dynasty, from Hongwu in the early Ming Dynasty and Yongle's city building and brick-laying to consolidate their rule, to Beiwa and city repair in the Jiajing period in the middle period, these were all things that the rulers of the Ming Dynasty were happy to do. However, the city walls in the medieval era faced modern times.

The defensive capabilities of artillery are seriously insufficient. This has long been noticed by Chen Kai. This article was written specifically to influence and inspire Zheng Chenggong. However, Feng Xifan believed that Chen Kai was trying to cover up his great success that year.

He actually groaned angrily.

Feng Xifan was angry, and Feng Chengshi was even more angry, but it was not that his son, who had been extremely smart since he was a child, resented Chen Kai. Feng Chengshi was even more angry because his son was really eager for quick success and instant gain, and could not stand failure at all.

Go home and think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and practice the art of nourishing your Qi.

"My father has said many times that the country's surname relies on people who can do things, know how to do things, and dare to do things. They are not those who stir up troubles and fights. Shi Lang is the best counterexample... As you did, you melted what Chen Kai cast.

Auxiliary gun, isn't it a declaration of war on Chen Kai? Even if war is declared, Guo Xing doesn't mind, but if a random gun breaks through the city wall in the future, everything you do now will become a handle... Fortunately, fortunately Chen Kai

He has no intention of playing tricks, otherwise he will wait for us to find fault with him. He has full power in Chaozhou. If he uses any tricks at will, Guo Xing will only see the fault of our father and son!"

………………

Zheng Chenggong would not know about this scene that happened at the Ordnance Bureau. He is still busy making plans to continue to open up the situation in southern Fujian, trying to further expand the control area and regain more land. This is his most important thing right now.

, and at this time, the three victories in Cizao, Qianshan, and Xiaoyingling, as well as the influence of Chen Yaoce from ten days ago, were further fermented. Before New Year's Eve, Zheng Chenggong was the first to receive a rare piece of good news.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Mr. Guo."

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Qing Haicheng's deputy general Hao Wenxing sent Huan Ran of the Chinese Army to secretly go to Zhongzuo to ask for an audience with Zheng Chenggong.

Hao Wenxing was a very capable general in the Qing army in Fujian. He had guarded Haicheng County for many years. No matter Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian's brothers, Zheng Hongkui or Zheng Chenggong's uncle and nephew, there was nothing they could do against him. He launched many attacks, and at most he was defeated.

Occupying the port and trying to break the city is really a fantasy. And this Hao Wenxing not only defended the city well, but also performed quite well in several coordinated battles. For example, in the battle of Pantuoling in the third year of Yongli, Hao Wenxing was ordered to detour and stab in the back.

In Zhongchong Town, if Chen Kai hadn't suddenly appeared on the battlefield and used the fog's unclear vision to complete the sniper attack on Wang Bangjun, the Ke brothers and Zhongchong Town would not have been able to escape Hao Wenxing's interception.

Compared with Wang Qifeng, Chen Yaoce and other generals who had proposed a solution earlier, Hao Wenxing was more capable, and he was also the deputy general of the Qing court. This man came to surrender, and brought a Haicheng County with him, and was planning the next offensive.

Zheng Chenggong was so happy that he immediately settled the matter and presented five gold ingots to Huan Ran and an eight-treasure belt to Hao Wenxing as an agreement.

The news was passed back and forth, and the two sides set a date for the second day of the first lunar month. Zheng Chenggong would lead the army to Bohaicheng County. It was only two days apart. Zheng Chenggong quickly mobilized his troops, but at this time, King Lu's fleet arrived at Zhongzuo as scheduled.

When Zheng Chenggong received the news, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
