The words startled everyone in the room, and there was silence.

The so-called Zheng Group was originally a maritime business group, and it could also be said to be a pirate group. They conducted business with swords, and the military commanders naturally had the greatest say in internal affairs.

In comparison, the civil servants are much worse. Not to mention others, even Jianpinghou Zhengtai, the nephew and adopted son of the clan who Zheng Zhilong worked hard to cultivate, the God of Wealth in charge of foreign trade in the Zheng Group, in fact, he is

The say in the military and political aspects is also very low. At most, it only has a greater say in maritime trade and finance.

Chen Kai, in terms of his identity, is Zheng Chenggong's staff. He is responsible for the arms production of this army. To put it bluntly, he is an administrative official. Although these generals usually have high praise for Chen Kai's abilities, for this first time participating

During the military discussion, the generals did not pay much attention to his opinion, and no one even asked him a question for such a long time. Even Zheng Chenggong, his main concern was just to let Chen Kai appear in such a place.

On the occasion, firstly, it was to enhance its status within the Zheng Group, and secondly, it was to prepare for consultation after the military meeting.

However, not only did Chen Kai not accompany him as they expected, but he loudly expressed his opposition when the military meeting basically determined the strategic goals, which really made everyone feel unhappy.

"Chen Canjun, what do you think you should do?"

The good impression of half a year disappeared in this moment, and returned to its original appearance again. Chen Bao spoke with a sullen tone, and it was a great honor to not scold him in person. But this face was given more to Zheng Chenggong, not to Chen Kai.

Such a talkative civil servant.

Chen Bao was like this, and so were most of the other generals. However, Zheng Chenggong, Hong Xu, Zhang Jin and Ke Chenshu seemed to be very interested in Chen Kai's answer. It was probably Chen Kai who had given it to them in the past six months.

Because of many surprises.

Seeing this, Chen Kai stood proudly. After looking around at the generals, he said directly: "I have never dealt with military affairs. I am really not as good at this as the marquis, uncles and marshals. But you have the right to do it."

The stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade, but it seems to me that you have forgotten something in your plans."

"what?"

"Tatar reinforcements!"

Reinforcement is a crucial issue. Zheng Chenggong's troops are weak and may not have enough advantages against the Qing army in one province, let alone the Qing army in another province. As soon as Chen Kai said this, everyone

The general also felt deeply that this year they attacked Haicheng and besieged Quanzhou. Both battles were disrupted by reinforcements from the Qing army. Because of this, they chose Tong'an as the first place to attack, which also made it difficult for the Qing army in southern Fujian to start and end.

The purpose of caring for each other is.

Since this was already in their planning, Chen Kai still used reinforcements as the reason for his opposition. Immediately, some military generals showed displeasure and planned to explain the geographical environment of southern Fujian to Chen Kai. But before these people could make a decision,

In response, Zheng Chenggong was the first to change his expression, and immediately asked Chen Kai: "Is Chen Canjun referring to a captive army from another province?"

"The country's surname is wisdom, that's true."

This is a big problem in other provinces. Fujian is not alone overseas. It borders Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces on land. When they considered the Qing army reinforcements before, they only considered southern Fujian, or at most Fujian Province, but

After Chen Kai mentioned this, huge pressure seemed to be pressing down on their hearts.

The generals present frowned. After a while, a voice asked tentatively, but it was not known whether it was directed to Chen Kai. However, Chen Kai still gave a corresponding answer.

"With all due respect to my official, with the current war situation in Fujian, our army is just a small scabies problem to the Tatars. The real threat to them is the ministries under King Lu in northern Fujian and other places. His Royal Highness King Lu calls himself the supervisor of the country.

With greater appeal, the Tatars will definitely not let them develop and grow in northern Fujian, and will definitely send a large army southward."

"Assuming that King Lu's army defeats the Lu division, it will surely sweep across the southeast. However, our army has always followed the orthodoxy of the late emperor who belonged to the Tang Dynasty. By that time, even if our army can capture Zhangzhou,

The two prefectures of Quanzhou are just hiding under the protection of King Lu, and they also need to guard against the disaster of annexation. They can only shrink into a corner and cannot jointly attack other areas. But if the army of King Lu is defeated by the enemy, our army will be defeated.

With the current strength, I’m afraid there is even less chance of winning. By then, if the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs left intact?”

Chen Kai's analysis was very clear and to the point, and the generals were immediately silent. Seeing this, Chen Kai continued to work harder: "In addition, Fujian is a province with eight mountains, one water and one field.

, it has always been difficult to be self-sufficient in food, and most of it is purchased from neighboring provinces. Guangdong is experiencing continuous wars, and local tyrants and gangsters have formed strongholds to harass the local area, which has become a chaotic situation. Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces also passed by Xiaguan when they went south.

It’s out in the wild and overgrown with weeds, and I’m afraid it may not even be able to meet the needs of the province, let alone sell it to Fujian.”

"The army will disperse without food. In the humble opinion of the following officials, even if our army can capture Tong'an by then, the food problem will still not be solved. It is even more likely that we will encounter a local food shortage and have to find another place. Rather than doing this, it is better to take advantage of it as soon as possible.

Make other plans to avoid unnecessary losses and delay the great situation."

Chen Kai's words immediately caused the generals to think deeply. Even Zheng Chenggong frowned deeply and did not say a word for a long time. The originally determined result of the military meeting was instantly overturned by Chen Kai, but according to the

Chen Kai concluded that Tongan is no longer a good place to go, regardless of those homesick thoughts.

The generals thought about it and found that what Chen Kai said was indeed reasonable. Although Fujian is his hometown, judging from the current situation, it is indeed not a place that can quickly grow in strength once it is captured. In this case, then stay in Fujian.

There aren't really many options left for them.

"Chen Shenjun means to conquer Guangdong?"

"To be precise, it is better to focus on the present than to work hard to attack from afar."

"Chaozhou?"

As soon as these two words came out of his mouth, Chen Bao stood up in shock. This moment really shocked all the generals, but Chen Bao didn't care about anything else. The flesh on his face kept twisting, and his expression could be said to be changing.

, obviously his mind is rapidly connecting the past information and conducting reasonable analysis at the same time.

He was not a scheming person, but Chen Kai's point was like a thunderbolt in his mind, and many things that were originally inconspicuous suddenly became clearly visible.
