In the simple lobby, Jie Chongxi asked questions and looked around at the generals, but they were all silent. It wasn't that he didn't want to answer, it was just because Chen Kai's plea in the letter seemed too confusing, which made him feel uncomfortable.

They simply don't understand why they do this.

"Zhijun, did the people he sent mention the reason for this?"

As the most capable assistant, Fu Dingquan had to break the silence here. However, this problem was also difficult for Jie Chongxi. The person sent by Chen Kai only knew his own mission and did not know the letter.

What is the actual meaning of .

This is reasonable for the sake of confidentiality, but it seems a bit incredible that Chen Kai is so convinced that Jie Chongxi and the others will act according to his arrangements.

"...Please send twenty scholars who are not pedantic, flexible and have firm beliefs to Chaozhou for training. The content of the training is related to the life and death of these scholars and the overall situation. I am sorry that I cannot tell you. There is only one thing, please expose the army

And everyone believes that everything we do today is for the future recovery of Jiangxi..."

Turning over the letter again, Jie Chongxi still frowned deeply. He sat in front of the desk and carefully rubbed the end of the long beard under his chin with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, as if he could draw out some inspiration in this way. This letter

It was delivered yesterday. After Jie Chongxi looked at it, he was completely puzzled by its meaning. This look has appeared many times. Even after tossing and turning last night, he got up several times and looked through it again, but he still had the same hard thinking.

, but it is difficult to find a solution.

"Could it be that Chen Kai wants to send these scholars back to their hometown to be spies?"

After a long time, Zhang Zisheng's answer coincided with what everyone thought. However, judging from their experience, in Jiangxi today, with their status as Ming soldiers and the various connections of the scholars who followed them, they could easily move from the local area.

They obtained the resources and information they needed from the gentry. And these scholars who were always following them were incompatible with the Tatars. Not to mention whether it was acceptable to shave their heads and change clothes, it was just that they were allowed to return to their hometowns to work as a small

It is far better to stay as a spy to help manage internal information about the soldiers and the people, and to support military affairs externally.

The question has returned to its original point. This is because based on their understanding of the city, this is definitely not a being who is stupid enough to waste everything. Every step he takes often seems meaningless or even ridiculously stupid, but it is

There is always a special profound meaning, and these profound meanings will also play a key role in the following days.

Chen Kai said that this was for the restoration of Jiangxi, so nine times out of ten, what he said was true. However, how to restore Jiangxi and who will restore it is still a question worth pondering, and this question will often affect the final outcome.

decisive.

"There is no need to guess. Although Chen Kai has done many things that are contrary to common sense, it seems that over the years, he still follows the right path. It is just different from other people's methods... As for this matter, and

Not to mention whether his plan will be successful or not, but to say that eggs cannot be put in one basket, we also need to leave another glimmer of hope for the elders of Jiangxi!"

Compared with the hard thinking and careful weighing of everyone here, Jie Zhongxi, who had been scratching his head for a day, went through the process of thinking over and over again. After still not getting a practical answer, he became much more open-minded.

The anti-Qing movement in Jiangxi was crushed by Jin Shenghuan when the Qing army entered Jiangxi. Jin Shenghuan once led the national anti-Qing movement, but it came to an end after the Qing army entered Jiangxi. After that, the Qing government scorned

The four major bandits in Jiangxi and the four battalions of General Yan Luo were still fighting bloody battles with the Qing army, but their presence was so low that it was the only one seen in the south. However, the brutality of the anti-Qing movement in Jiangxi did not let him down at all, and these Qing troops

Regardless of whether they were from Jiangxi Province or not, the bandits mentioned by the imperial court were still able to unite under the leadership core headed by Governor Jie Chongxi and fight to the death against the Qing army.

Jie Chongxi had made up his mind. Whether it was Fu Dingquan, Cao Dahao, Hong Guoyu and Zhang Zisheng, everyone accepted the order with enthusiasm. Half a month later, the selected suitable candidates secretly gathered at the Jianghu Mountain camp, and instead asked the person responsible for leading them

Visitors to Chaozhou feel a little headache.

"Master Zhijun, Mr. Chen said there were twenty people..."

Twenty people, including family members, were already quite a lot. They needed to secretly pass through the Qing army-controlled area, so there couldn't be too many people. This time, Jie Chongxi seemed a little too enthusiastic and chose a total of fifty Confucian scholars.

, together with their family members, a group of two to three hundred people, how can they cross the area controlled by the Qing army?

"Unless you shave your hair and change into Tatar clothes..."

The messenger once traveled to the southeast with Chen Kai and had such an experience. In order to achieve his goal, he didn't mind too much about temporary compromises. But for these scholars who always insist on wearing civilized clothes, it is

Absolutely unacceptable.

Then it was time for Jie Chongxi to persuade him. The reason for his persuasion was simply that Chen Kai was very capable and could do more for the court and the Han family in Chaozhou. However, the three armies could seize the commander, but an ordinary man could not.

Even if they were governors, they could not make these Confucian scholars surrender. In the end, Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan talked for several days, and only about twenty scholars reluctantly accepted it. However, at this time, the messenger said that there were not many people.

, there is no need to shave your hair and wear clothes easily.

"This is clearly a trick on us!"

"We only had twenty people originally, but now that we have almost the same number, it doesn't matter anymore."

"..."

Jie Chongxi was helpless and after some more comfort, these Confucian scholars and their families reluctantly followed the messenger sent by Chen Kai on the road.

They walked all the way through the mountains and forests, detouring through Quzhou Prefecture in Zhejiang Province, and then passing through the prefecture and Wenzhou Prefecture to enter the sea. This was originally an important route for trade in the Fujian Sea, and the famous Longyou merchant gang and Songyang Dan were the main routes.

This road transports Fujian's production to Jiangxi, Zhejiang and even southern Zhili.

This journey will still take a lot of time. But when Chen Kai returned to Chaozhou Fucheng, the first invitee had already moved into the post house. The only difference was that this person was the only one, and he was leaving.

The waterway of Minjiang River.

"Tao Juren, you are well."

Longwu Juren Tao Qian, who was living in Shaowu Mansion, met Chen Kai. Even before setting off, he had already learned that the guy who was a guest bandit on the mountain road was Chen Kai, who was famous in Fujian and Guangdong.

It is inevitable that some weird colors will appear.

"I have heard the name Chen Daotai for a long time, and it is like thunder to my ears. The students really did not expect that the businessman who was pursuing the head of the fourth camp of General Yama would actually be Chen Daotai."

Tao Qian bowed his hand and was immediately helped up by Chen Kai. The servants who were guarding the Yamen served tea. Then Chen Kai waved his hand and the servants standing beside him exited the second hall. Then the door was closed, and in this closed space there was

Only the two of them were left.

"I won't say anything else for the sake of greetings. I'm inviting Tao Juren over this time because I need Tao Juren's help for something."

"It is truly an honor for students to work for Master Wang, but please speak frankly, Chen Daotai."

"I want you to shave your hair and change your clothes, go back to your hometown in Jiangxi to provide food and clothing for the Tatars, take part in the Tatar imperial examination, and assist the local officials in the administration. In other words, I want you to live like a Tatar in the next few years.
