Li Jianjie is the most famous cavalry general in Li Chengdong's army. Whether he is leading the cavalry in battle or his personal martial arts and bravery, he is extremely powerful. At this point alone, he is already the most famous cavalry general in Zheng Chenggong's army.

To be able to compare with it, even the King Tiger Wang Jin is one step behind.

It is a pity that such a figure died with his elder brother as he did in history. But it is also because Chen Kai's performance in Guangzhou gave him hope that he can still care about him now.

In fact, compared to Li Jianjie, Li Yuanyin is not inferior at all. He is the head of Li Chengdong's adopted sons and has great prestige in the army. He was the only person who was believed by the people at the time to be able to overpower the generals after Li Chengdong's death. As for his military bravery.

, Li Yuanyin also had the nickname of assassin in later generations. It said that he single-handedly killed Tong Yangjia, Yang Dafu and Luo Chengyao, who were in conflict with the Qing army. One of these three people was the former governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the other two were.

It is evident from this that Li Chengdong, a general under Li Chengdong who was given the title of earl, acted like a boy in front of Li Yuanyin and was unable to even fight back.

However, Li Yuanyin is dead and cannot be resurrected. Li Jianjie's joining has actually given Chen Kai a lot of benefits. The problem is that Li Jianjie's command has few war horses left. If he wants to form a fighting force, Chen Kai

Kai obviously still needs to spend more time and energy and invest too many resources.

"A bunch of beggars are doing well if they didn't eat all the horses."

He laughed and cursed in his heart, but Chen Kai was still so arrogant on his face. This self-confidence also affected Li Jianjie, and the dejection when they first met seemed to have faded a lot in this moment.

Seeing this, Chen Kai asked Li Jianjie: "If you want to take revenge, you must know yourself and the enemy. Do you know how many masters there are in western Guangdong now?"

This is a crucial matter. Li Jianjie is not completely unprepared for this, but he is not very clear about the specific situation. He can only tell Chen Kai what he knows: "Li Guangen, who lives in the northwest of Zhaoqing, used to be Luo Chengyao's boy."

His subordinate general later joined my eldest brother, and he was a trustworthy one. Guo Dengdi from Gaozhou Prefecture was my adoptive father’s old general, but he did not follow my adoptive father early in the morning. He and Ma Bao were both thieves in the past.

Later, he surrendered to the imperial court, and was later sent by the imperial court to serve under my adoptive father; in addition, there were Zhou Tengfeng and Deng Yao from the Lianzhou Mountain area, Wang Xing from Wencun, Chen Qice from Shangxiachuan Island, Li Changrong from Hailing Island, and others.

, I don’t know much about the rest.”

He already knew a lot about this, at least as far as Chen Kai was concerned, he knew Chen Qice, and Wang Xing had also heard about it, but the others were not so familiar.

"That Guo Dengdi, is he the one who failed to attack Qingyuan with Ma Bao when he was defending Guangzhou?"

"Exactly this person."

"oh."

Chen Kai knew about Ma Bao because he participated in many major events in the history of Nanming, especially after the Great Victory of Guilin. What was even more bizarre was that he later surrendered to Wu Sangui and followed Wu Sangui to rebel.

In the years of the Qing Dynasty, the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, I changed my family many times internally and externally, and followed countless important figures. In the end, I died fighting against the Qing Dynasty. It is also an anomaly.

As for Guo Dengdi, he was not very familiar with it, but with Ma Bao as a backdrop, he remembered this person's name. Among the remaining people, most of them were military generals, but there was also Zhou Tengfeng, a civil servant who lived in Hokkaido.

, seems to be on par with Chen Kai in terms of official rank.

"The northwest of Zhaoqing is a bit too far. Let's contact Chen Qice, Wang Xing and Li Changrong nearby first."

Linghai General Chen Qice was an old friend of Chen Kai. During the Pearl River Battle, the Ming army worked together to annihilate the Qing Guangdong Navy. Then Chen Kai transferred more than 10,000 people who were unwilling to leave Guangzhou Prefecture to Chen Qice's

Under his banner, with these people, Chen Qice took full control of Shangchuan Island, Xiachuan Island and a series of surrounding coastal islands including Dajin Island. At the same time, the Guangdong Sea route designed by Chen Kai was also connected with Qiongzhou and Chaozhou.

Hub, it is said that life has been very comfortable in recent years, and the navy has been dispatched many times to harass the Qing army along the coast.

Huben General Wang Xing, nicknamed Embroidery Needle, was a local bandit in Guangdong. His hometown was said to be Dabu County in Chaozhou Prefecture. He fled to Enping County in the south of Zhaoqing Prefecture for murdering people. Later he raised troops here and spent a long time

Taking Wencun as a stronghold, they dealt with the Qing army.

Wencun is located in a coastal area south of Enping County, north of Xiachuan Island, and west of Guanghaiwei, but it can still be regarded as the boundary of Guangzhou Prefecture. As for Hailing Island, where General Li Changrong of Hailing Island is based,

It is further away, having entered the boundary of Zhaoqing Prefecture to the west of Guangzhou Prefecture, and is on the sea south of Yangjiang County, the southernmost part of Zhaoqing Prefecture.

These three are not too far apart, especially if they are either islands or coastal areas. They can travel by sea, so it doesn't take much time.

When Chen Kai thought of this, he wanted to write a letter and send a messenger. But at this moment, Li Jianjie suddenly remembered something, and Chen Kai was so angry that he almost scolded him.

"By the way, the newly appointed governor Lian Chengbi is in Wencun..."

The etiquette in the officialdom, the superiors and inferiors, it is right for him to participate in politics as the Chief Envoy of Guangdong, and go to pay a visit not far from the governor's office. Li Jianjie took a big breath, which immediately disrupted Chen Kai's plan.

. But looking at this expression, it seemed that he didn't take the governor seriously. Chen Kai immediately understood the man's mentality and didn't bother to say anything to him.

Li Jianjie was Li Chengdong's adopted son. After Li Chengdong died, he followed Li Yuanyin and later guarded Guangzhou. Li Yuanyin sent him and Li Yuantai to assist Du Yonghe in the city and also for surveillance. When Guangzhou fell and they arrived in Qiongzhou, he still followed

Li Yuanyin looked down upon Du Yonghe who abandoned the city and fled - he had already despised the governor who was a former general of his adoptive father's army, not to mention that the imperial court had sent another civil servant without soldiers or courage.

The fifth son of the Li family is used to this, but Chen Kai is different. Although the etiquette in officialdom is red tape, you still have to go where you need to go. Even if you don't say anything about face or help, you just think if you can avoid it.

Constraints are also a good thing.

It was not too far to go to Wencun, and Chen Kai had also been to Shangxiachuan Island on the way. In this case, it would continue to delay time and affect subsequent plans. He made some arrangements and set off quickly.

The ship sailed smoothly on the sea. The wind was a bit adverse, but it was not a storm, and it only delayed a little time. Soon the ship approached the waters of Shangxiachuan Island, and encountered a patrol by the Ming Navy. The identity of the ship was revealed.

There was no obstruction or harassment, but they were respectfully leading the way.

When they arrived at Shangchuan Island, Chen Kai learned that Chen Qice was not here, but had gone to Wencun to visit Lian Chengbi. This was consistent with the purpose of his trip, so Chen Kai asked one of Chen Qice's subordinates to lead the way.

Rush to Wencun to visit the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Wencun is not far from Shangchuan Island, and the boat quickly reached the shore. It is surrounded by hills to the east, west, and north, and faces the sea to the south. There is only a trail connected to the inland, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Wang Xingping

In this dangerous location, they took advantage of the favorable geographical location to dig out fortresses and build warehouses. They held it for many years. Neither Li Chengdong nor Shang Kexi had any good solution. Even in history, it was only by relying on the food shortage here that the food shortage was completely eradicated.

Support the anti-Qing armed forces that persisted in the hinterland of Guangdong.

With Chen Qice's subordinates leading the way, Chen Kai revealed his identity and easily entered the fort with his seal. Liancheng Bi towered above it, followed by two commanders Wang Xing and Chen Qice. When meeting the governor, Chen Kai was no longer

This was the first time. At this moment, the ceremony was as formal as possible. He signaled his seat without even showing off the city wall, and even praised Chen Kai for his great feat in Guangzhou the year before last.

At this point, Chen Kai became humble, and the atmosphere here became much more harmonious. This was a good start. While answering, Chen Kai considered how to realize his intention next. When everything was considered clearly, he

He told Lian Chengbi that in addition to visiting the governor, he also had plans to start here.

"Chen Daotai's plan must have been well thought out. However, before talking about the matter, there are some things I want to ask clearly."

"Please tell me about military control."

Chen Kai bowed his hands and bowed, and then asked Lian Chengbi to continue speaking. His attitude was respectful, and he had done all the courtesy to his superiors. But as Lian Chengbi blurted out his words, the air in the entire lobby seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

of.

"I remember that Chen Daotai was an aide of Marquis Weiyuan earlier, and Marquis Weiyuan recommended Daotai's official position to the court. If the imperial edict is contrary to the order of Weiyuan Marquis, Chen Daotai will use the imperial edict.
