The conversation between the Feng family and his son was limited to the study room of the Feng family, and even Zheng Jing had no way of knowing. Here, Zheng Jing sat on the carriage and slowly returned to the mansion not too far away. After entering the mansion, he

He went straight to his father's study to say hello and at the same time report on his studies.

In the study, Zheng Chenggong, no less than his son who had finished class, was still thinking at his desk. In front of him, official documents were piled up into hills on both sides, and in the canyon between the two hills was a stack of manuscript paper with more or less words written on it.

Looking at the handwriting, Zheng Chenggong's handwriting was correct at that time. During this period, he was just looking at what he had written, thinking, revising, thinking again, revising again, and so on, never getting tired of it.

"...Admiral Gan Hui in the left army, Hao Wenxing in the front, Huang Ting in the rear, Chen Liuyu in the left, and Wang Xiuqi in the right; Ke Chenshu in the right army, Li Jianjie in the front, Lang Deng in the rear, and Xiao Gong in the left

Chen, right admiral Huangshan..."

With the gradual recovery of people's livelihood in Fujian and the launch of the Zheng Group's offensive in Zhejiang and Southern Jiangxi, although it is February and the war in Southern Jiangxi has not yet settled, Zheng Chenggong has already begun to prepare for the next stage of military expansion.

.

The navy will be restricted by the construction speed of warships. As for the land division, as the Zheng Group continues to regain lost ground and goes deeper into the inland, the importance of the land division is also increasing day by day. At the moment, the Zheng Group seems to be

Like a double-headed eagle, it is entrenched in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and it will naturally inevitably launch offensives in the surrounding provinces of these two provinces.

The initial plan was to imitate the navy and divide the land division into two armies. The left army would be stationed in Fujian and launch an offensive towards Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The right army would be stationed in Guangdong and launch an offensive towards Jiangxi. They would advance together to regain the southeastern land.

Such an army expansion plan is very grand, including food, grass, military pay, weapons, training, personnel, etc. Zheng Chenggong's current draft paper only contains the temporary admirals of the two armies, and the list of towns is enough for him to consider a lot, let alone

It's other content. At the very least, the current defense situation of each ministry is relatively stable - Huang Ting is guarding Jianning Mansion, Wang Xiuqi is guarding Shaowu Mansion, Chen Kai is commanding Ke Chenshu and Huangshan in the fierce attack on Southern Jiangxi, Hong Xu Taizhou is responding to Ma

Anyway, Gan Hui is stationed in Zhoushan and assists Chen Liuyu in taking over Zhang Mingzhen's headquarters. Any changes may lead to changes in the war situation. This is a practical issue that he needs to consider.

However, this is not achieved overnight. If it is carried out in stages, the financial pressure will be much easier. Zheng Chenggong certainly understands this truth, but there is one thing that makes him hesitate from time to time whether such a plan should really be implemented. Or

, there are better ways to replace it.

There were so many things to consider that Zheng Chenggong couldn't decide for a while. Fortunately, this plan was not something he planned to decide on easily. Of course, due to the rapid expansion of the control area, the issue of restructuring has been put on the agenda.

, these are not the only things he needs to consider, which makes him often stay up late to rest recently.

Thoughts continued, but a servant outside said that the young master came to say hello. So, Zheng Chenggong temporarily pulled away from his thoughts and signaled to the servant outside, and then the door opened, and Zheng Jing walked in.

"My son, please pay your respects to your father."

"Well, get up." Zheng Jing raised his hand and bowed solemnly, then stood up as if under control, but still maintained a respectful posture.

"What did Mr. Feng talk about today?"

"Returning to my father, today Mr. Feng first talked about Zigong asking the gentleman in "The Analects", and then finished explaining the chapter about Jin Wengong's dominance in "Spring and Autumn"."

Zigong asked the gentleman. Confucius said: "First do what he says and then follow it." This is one of the political chapters of "The Analects". Zheng Chenggong had read it when he was a student and had already known it by heart. Zheng Jing mentioned here,

The scene from that year immediately came to mind, as clear as if it happened yesterday.

"Zi Gong asked you, gentleman, what is your explanation?"

"Zigong asked a gentleman. The Master said: Do what he says first and then follow it. It means to do things first and then speak them out, rather than words before actions. This is a gentleman. The boy remembered that he had heard it before, a gentleman is smart.

This should be the same principle when it comes to words and deeds."

Zheng Jing answered eloquently, not only talking about Feng Chengshi's opinions, but also mentioning some of his thoughts and feelings. In response, Zheng Chenggong nodded: "If you understand the truth, you should practice it yourself."

"Children, please obey your father's teachings."

After having said this, Zheng Chenggong asked again about the explanation of the second half of Jin Wengong's dominance. However, this time, what Zheng Jing mainly recounted was not the Battle of Chengpu that established Jin Wengong's dominance, nor was it

The allusion of retreat mainly tells the story about the Zidai Rebellion.

The so-called Zidai Rebellion was a rebellion launched by the favored prince Zidai against his half-brother King Zhou Xiang after the death of King Hui of Zhou. The first time was after the death of King Hui of Zhou, King Zhou Xiang ascended the throne with the support of Duke Huan of Qi.

, Wang Zidai colluded with the Rong tribe of Zhou, but was defeated by King Xiang of Zhou and fled to Qi. The second time was that after returning to Zhou, Wang Zidai had an affair with King Zhou Xiang and Queen Wei's family, and conspired to rebel and became King Zhou Xiang.

However, King Xiang of Zhou was defeated by Zi Dai and the Di people who colluded with Zi Dai, and was finally restored to power with the help of Duke Wen of Jin.

"Xun Yu said: In the past, Duke Wen of the Jin Dynasty accepted King Xiang of Zhou, and the princes obeyed; the emperor of the Han Dynasty mourned for the Righteous Emperor, and the world returned to its heart."

Zheng Chenggong had read the books of sages, passed the exams as a scholar, and worked as a supervisor. Such stories can be said easily. Zheng Jing does not need to explain them clearly. As soon as the Zidai Rebellion is mentioned, the details will be awakened in his mind.

.But once he remembered Xun Yu's words to persuade Cao Cao to welcome Han Xian Emperor, he couldn't help but think of the current situation. For a while, his thoughts were so wild that he blocked out the insights that Zheng Jing had pondered over.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although the King of Zhou was weak, he was the co-ruler of the world. Qi Huan and Jin Wen dominated the country under the banner of respecting the king and resisting the barbarians. For example, Confucius praised Guan Zi for his achievements in respecting the king and resisting the barbarians: "I was sent to Zuo Ren by Guan Zhong.

"That's right." Zhu Xi also said that "respecting the Zhou family and rejecting the barbarians and Di is the way to rectify the world." These Zheng Chenggong had a very deep impression. Even the contemporary great scholar Gu Yanwu also said: "The meaning of the Spring and Autumn Period is to respect the king of heaven and reject the barbarians.

Punishing rebellious ministers and traitors are all human nature and the way of heaven." Although Zheng Chenggong didn't know, their undertakings could also be classified into this category.

Feng Chengshi had already talked about Duke Huan of Qi's nine alliances with the princes, respected the king and fought against the barbarians a few days ago. Now he also talked about Duke Wen of Jin's dominance, and also focused on the rebellion of Jin Wen's father-in-law, which was obviously based on Confucian orthodoxy.

Establish a correct value for Zheng Jing.

This is what Zheng Chenggong is happy to see, because in his thoughts and identity, Confucian scholars are indispensable. This affects his words and deeds all the time. The original ideological root of his break with his father was also

Like this.

Zheng Chenggong admired Feng Chengshi's hard work and gave Zheng Jing a few words of encouragement, indicating that he should study hard. The young man, who was less than fourteen years old, blushed and told his father excitedly.

came up with some of his other ideas.

"Father, Mr. Feng said that the Jin Dynasty established the system of three armies and six ministers in order to strengthen the army, but the child vaguely remembers that the six ministers later became a serious problem for the Jin country..."

The national system, from top to bottom, often exists in the form of copies. Just like how the king of Zhou divided the princes, the princes also defended the country with interdependent public offices. But in the era of Duke Wen of Jin, the early civil strife in Jin -

-Whether it was Quwo Daiyi, or the massacre of the princes during the reign of Duke Xian of Jin, and the Liji Rebellion, all of them led to the decline of the Jin Dynasty's princes, and they had to rely on nobles with different surnames to defend Jin Gong.

Jin Wengong established the system of three armies and six ministers. The generals and assistants were mainly composed of the Hu family, the Xian family, the Que family, the Xu family, the Luan family, the Fan family, the Zhongxing family, the Zhi family, the Han family, the Ying family, the Zhao family, and the Wei family.

They were controlled by several aristocratic families, and they took turns in power according to the principle of succession after death. Some of these nobles with different surnames were confidants of Duke Wen of Jin when he was in exile, and some were virtuous people and distant relatives who began to re-employ him after returning to the country. In the following years, they

They attacked each other, annexed, and bullied the Duke of Jin. In the end, the three families of Han, Zhao, and Wei were left to divide Jin, dismembering the former overlord of the Central Plains into three.

Zheng Jing suddenly mentioned this. With his previous association with the current situation, Zheng Chenggong immediately interrupted Zheng Jing's words: "What do you want to say?"

"This, this..." Facing his always serious father, Zheng Jing was quite anxious, but since Zheng Chenggong asked, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue what he wanted to say: "In my humble opinion, Fujian, Guangdong,

Southern Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other places were all recovered by my Zheng family. My uncle and Zhong Zhenbo did have meritorious service, but allowing them to control the place for a long time would be detrimental to my Zheng family. My father must still remember that my grandfather

Sir, if you go north, then Zheng Cai..."

"Did Mr. Feng teach you these?"

Interrupting Zheng Jing's words again, Zheng Chenggong stared at his son. As a result, Zheng Jing's answer was what he thought of himself, not what Feng Chengshi said. Based on his understanding of this son,

It's not a lie. It's just that he didn't think about how to answer his son now, so he just let him go back to the study to study.

"What you say to your father today must not enter the ears of others again."

"My child understands."

There was no anger, no joy, not even any other emotions such as sadness. Zheng Jing exited the door, and the sunlight outside quickly shrank and then disappeared in the thin line. Zheng Chenggong sat on the Taishi chair, his thoughts flowing smoothly.

As Zheng Jing's words gradually spread downwards, the overtones could not be heard.

"Hong Xu is just a foil, this child..." The word "child" suddenly made Zheng Chenggong feel a little harsh: "He actually only refers to Jing Cheng. Zheng Cai, haha, there are so many Zheng Cai."

Even though Zheng Chenggong has allowed him to become a rich man, the superficial brother of the past still exists. Zheng Jing compared Zheng Cai to Chen Kai, and it seems that they are somewhat similar - Zheng Cai is Zheng Zhilong.

Chen Kai is Zheng Chenggong's cousin-in-law; Zheng Cai was Zheng Zhilong's helper in defeating Liu Xiang, Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin and others, while Chen Kai assisted Zheng Chenggong to start from South Australia and rebuild his current strength.

Zheng Zhilong was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief of South Australia. The Ming Dynasty did not choose Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhipeng and other clan brothers to guard the home of the Zhongzuo Institute, but chose Zheng Cai, a figure from the Zheng family in Gaopu. Similarly, Chen

Kai was dispatched by the General Administration of Guangdong in the Zheng Group, and was also appointed by the Ming court as the governor of Guangdong.

The most unbearable thing about things is to ponder. At this moment, when he looked at the words on the manuscript paper, it suddenly became clear where the desire that he had repeatedly planned to overturn originated from.

"Actually, I have been worried about this from the beginning, but Jing'er just put it all on the table."

The current situation of the Zheng Group is written between the deep frowns. Everything seems to be prosperous and the future is limitless. However, from the perspective of internal power, Chen Kai's power within the group is getting stronger and stronger.

Let's just say that Chen Kai, as the general manager of Guangdong, is fully responsible for the military and political affairs of Guangdong. This time he conquered southern Jiangxi. Compared with the current group headquarters, which only has two enclaves in Fujian and Zhejiang, it has a tendency to be too big to lose.

Where did this source of worry begin? Was it Chen Kai's shooting of Zheng Zhiwan, Shi Lang's arrogance and domineering, Chen Kai's interception of Shi Lang, Chen Kai's plan to enter Guangdong, or his plan to enter Guangdong.

The vigilance of his subordinates had long been buried deep in his heart by his father's words and deeds. Zheng Chenggong didn't know exactly how, but at this moment, he had clearly realized that he was indeed working for Chen Kai in Guangdong.

exist and worry.

The existence of Chen Kai as the second-in-command of the Zheng Group has long been a recognized fact within the group. However, in the final analysis, this second-in-command is a civil servant and has administrative power in Guangdong, but all military power lies in the hands of those who recruited him.

Most of the admirals and chief military officers under the general were generals from Fujian, who were loyal to their headquarters. Chen Kai only had the Guangdong Fubiao with absolute command.

Moreover, the Zheng Group is responsible for all the troops' maintenance and money supply. The Guangdong side is only responsible for the actual and daily supply of military rations for the expedition. This is determined by the actual situation in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and it is also restricted.

The possibility of Chen Kai establishing his own business in Guangdong.

Under such circumstances, Chen Kai's threat to Zheng Chenggong was actually not as exaggerated as Zheng Jing pointed out. However, Zheng Chenggong thought about it carefully, but he could understand that a hundred years later, with Zheng Jing's current strength, he would be

There was absolutely no way he could compete with Chen Kai, so even though his son was not yet fourteen years old, he was already aware of the threat.

"Someone is coming!"

After giving the order, Zheng Chenggong asked his servant to summon a trusted guard. After giving a few instructions, the latter left as promised. It was not until noon the next day that the guard quietly returned and told Zheng Chenggong what he wanted to know.

Come.

"The Feng family and his son were checking on Lu Ruoteng and Shen Quanqi some time ago?"

This answer was not what Zheng Chenggong originally thought. According to his thinking, Feng Chengshi was a person who had to get up wherever he fell. It was logical that he would start with the Arms Bureau and Chaozhou Manufacturing Bureau. However,

Now, it is a waste of time on two unrelated people, and this was before Feng Chengshi started teaching Zheng Jing. There is a feeling that something is wrong everywhere.

"What they are checking should be Jishe, yes, Jishe!"
