As the God of Wealth of the Zheng Group, Zheng Tai had too many matters to deal with, and naturally he couldn't waste time. With Chen Kai's promise, Zheng Tai did not stay in Guangzhou for long and soon embarked on his return journey.

journey.

At this point, although Chen Kai is not the God of Wealth of the Zheng Group, he still has a lot of work. What excites them most is that everything they do is to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a great Chinese nation.

Enemy. Even though, Zheng Tai was more led by Zheng Chenggong, while Chen Kai was more inclined to the independent instinctive sense of resistance generated by his understanding of history.

Compared with the internal strife of the Ming Army in the southwest, the development of the Zheng Group is far more rapid than in history. This anti-Qing organization is striving towards their ultimate goal, especially Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong.

The "God of Wealth" is gone, and Chen Kai has more things to consider and deal with. As for the Guangdong Development Bank, the deposit deposited in the vassal treasury can be used as a temporary supplement to the finance, and the Foshan Manufacturing Bureau can follow the

The plan is to start construction at full strength. According to Chen Kai's instructions and the needs of the Guangdong Business Alliance, the loaned money will also be given priority to the more profitable purchases within the alliance, such as the silk weaving workshop in Shunde. A perfect example is this.

Silk weaving workshops are expected to see a sharp increase in production capacity in the future, which is a good thing. The increase in production capacity and transaction volume will also increase business taxes, which is also a financial supplement.

This is a brand-new model that is different from the old-style feudal society that took back money-making businesses and ran them for the government, or resorted to taking action on merchants when they were short of money. In Chen Kai's words, it is a benign and sustainable development path.

However, compared to grabbing it directly, it will undoubtedly take time to reap the benefits. At the very least, the production cycle of the product is inevitable, and some may also involve cycles such as product sales and payment collection, and

There will be no immediate results. But in the long run, this will obviously be more beneficial to the country and the people.

Idle private funds are being gathered and used, and Chen Kai's planned weapons and equipment upgrade plans also have a stable source of funds. Everything is moving in the expected direction, but for Chen Kai, the pressure on money is still great

, This is not only about the upgrading of weapons and equipment, and the preparations required for the war that will inevitably break out in the future, but also because Zheng Chenggong plans to open up the situation in Zhejiang, so he decided to mobilize some troops from Guangdong, which has become half of the hinterland, into Fujian.

It is used as a reserve force and a reassurance for the aggressive advance in Zhejiang. The Zheng Group's troops in Guangdong naturally refer to those troops controlled by Chen Kai.

"Chaozhou General Soldier Zhongyong Marquis Chenhou Ye will lead most of Chaozhou Town into Fujian. The troops will have other numbers. The specific national surname has not yet been determined. Chaozhou will be guarded by Zhongkuang Bo..."

The person who took over Zhang Jin's previous garrison was a subordinate transferred from Fujian by Zheng Chenggong. Chen Kai had never met him and had no previous interactions with him. However, Zheng Chenggong had ordered him to accept it just like Chen Bao and Zhang Jin.

Chen Kai's moderation is enough for him as long as he can handle business matters.

"Marquis Pingyi, who is guarding the coast of Guangzhou, wants to lead his troops to Fujian. The national surname needs to rely on the influence of the Marquis in eastern Zhejiang and the strong combat power of the Marquis' troops. The Marquis has to do it reluctantly."

"What Fu Jun said is that the surnamed master of the country has orders, so he must obey his orders and act accordingly."

The main military officers in Guangdong, except for the Chaozhou towns that had begun to mobilize, were summoned, and the military meeting was held as scheduled in the governor's office. After notifying the Chaozhou transfer, Chen Kai immediately named Zhou Hezhi. His navy followed Chen Kai to regain Guangdong.

, has been stationed in Guangzhou in recent years, serving as a pillar of the Zheng Group on the coast of Guangdong.

This fleet, together with Lin Cha's headquarters stationed in Qiongzhou, Jiang Mei'ao's Pearl River Navy stationed in Hong Kong, and Nan'ao Town stationed in Nan'ao, formed the coastal defense force of the Ming army in Guangdong. Of course, there were also some troops in southwestern Guangdong, such as Zhou Jintang,

The Western Guangdong Navy of Deng Yao and others, as well as Chen Qice and Li Changrong, had essentially turned to Chen Kai's troops, but they still could not completely replace the importance of Zhou Hezhi's troops.

Before Zhou Hezhi's troops attached to Zheng Chenggong, they mainly fought in Zhejiang and northern Fujian. Now they have been in Guangdong for more than three years. The army has been supplemented by some officers and soldiers from Guangdong, just like in Fujian and Zhejiang. There are also

The soldiers bought houses and got married while they were stationed in Guangdong. This transfer was bound to cause fluctuations in the morale of the soldiers. Now that Zhou Hezhi was firm, Chen Kai was naturally relieved.

It's not just Zhou Hezhi's fleet that has the same problem. Also on the transfer list are Qianchong Town, Zhongquan Town, Guard Front Town and Guard Back Town. The Army Division with more than 10,000 people will move from Guangdong to fight in Fujian.

Even Zhejiang.

The morale of the military needs to be adjusted and appeased, and there is still some time, because Zheng Chenggong does not intend to put these troops into the war at the first time. However, the day of mobilization will eventually come, which is inevitable. Chen

They had already received the news before Kai convened a military meeting. The military was already trying to appease the morale, and this time it was also intended to report the progress to Chen Kai.

The mobilization of these troops will undoubtedly enhance the strength of the Ming army on the Zhejiang battlefield, but it will inevitably lead to a stretched defense force in Guangdong.

In response, Zheng Chenggong ordered the expansion of Chen Kai's Guangdong Governor Biao Battalion to enhance the Ming army's military power in Guangdong. The difference between the old army and the new army was not only as simple as the entry and exit, but more importantly, Zheng Chenggong was telling the

Everyone sent a signal that the trust between him and Chen Kai remained as before and had not diminished at all.

"This is good news for good people."

This is what Chen Kai said to Wang Jiang earlier, and after the latter heard this, he immediately began to calculate the cost of military expansion.

Previously, with Chen Kai's efforts to regain southern Gansu and the Tiandihui's infiltration in Fujian, the tenderness between Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong was torn off. There must be a battle between him and Zheng Jing, and Zheng Chenggong would never tolerate Zheng Chenggong.

The group split. Although both parties continued to perform their respective duties and make such efforts in Guangdong and Fujian provinces, discord had already emerged.

This situation lasted until Zheng Chenggong launched a trade embargo against the Spaniards, and the Dutch chose to approach Chen Kai. Chen Kai's performance undoubtedly made his position clear, even at the risk of committing suicide. Regarding such a statement, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Tai

Naturally, he was very moved. The former reciprocated the favor and chose to delegate military power to Chen Kai when part of the Guangdong troops had to be transferred this time.

"Once the army invades Zhejiang, I'm afraid Guo Xingye will no longer care about Guangdong. Giving military power to the chief helmsman now is a sign of trust, and I'm afraid there is no shortage of helplessness."

For the same thing, Wang Jiang was thinking about what was needed to expand the army, while Cao Conglong was wondering about Zheng Chenggong's intentions. This is the difference between technocrats and politicians, and Chen Kai didn't care about it. What's more,

Even if he was helpless, Zheng Chenggong chose to be helpless to Chen Kai instead of being helpless to others. For example, he transferred Chen Kai to Fujian and handed over Guangdong to cronies such as Chen Bao and Hong Xu. This in itself is a kind of trust.

The troops have been transferred, but Guangdong's defense cannot be ignored. When Chen Kai was ordered to expand the army, the first thing he had to face was money and food, and the second was personnel. With these, the final things that needed to be considered were the training cycle, training

factors such as methods.

The transfer order was issued, and all ministries had already begun preparations. The Fujian side had already budgeted for the money and grain to be transferred to Fujian, so Chen Kai did not need to worry about it. All he needed to consider was the issue of Guangdong. At this point,

, it is just in time for the ticket number that Chen Kai has already started to arrange to drive production capacity increase earlier. However, the upgrading of weapons and equipment requires money, and the expansion of the army also requires money. If you come and go, you will inevitably be stretched.

"In terms of money and food, let's start with this. There is a way to survive tight days, and it is not appropriate to take too big steps at this stage."

When these words came out, Chen Kai felt funny for a moment. He had done a lot of things in his old age, but now the word "inappropriate" came to him.

However, he knows very well that after every big step forward, he must lay a solid foundation steadily to avoid ending up as a castle on the beach. This time, the financial industry represented by the ticket number has just taken the first step.

Even the leg that took this step had not yet touched the ground. Such a big killer was always a double-edged sword. How could he dare to take an even bigger step?

"The original Fubiao will be expanded into the first and second towns, and Ma Bao's troops will be used in the third town. I have already discussed this matter with Ma Bao. Wang Han and Li Guangen's troops have relatively few troops at their headquarters.

It is unrealistic at this stage to expand the establishment of the town in one go. Therefore, these two films have been adapted into the left and right associations directly under Fubiao. In addition, the establishment requirements of at least two towns must be prepared, which may not take too long.

Already."

After the military meeting, Chen Kai held another government meeting. In terms of military supplies and supplies, Wang Jiang and Ding Youyi have to share more, especially the latter. At this stage, they are also taking care of the expansion of the Foshan Manufacturing Bureau.

Work.

The tasks were assigned, and the responsible officials also elaborated on their own ideas. There was no doubt about the necessity of military expansion. They were all discerning people, so all their ideas were based on this. In general, the suggestions were basically

They are all within the rules - Chen Kai has set limits in advance, so naturally their ideas cannot be too deviant. Stability is the main theme at the moment.

"What about the officers?"

"The surname of the country is not stated clearly, but I have to take the initiative to bring it up. Relationships require careful thinking. Otherwise, there will be too many ant nests, and even a long embankment thousands of miles away will not be able to escape the fate of collapse."

After that confrontation, the emergence of suspicion made Chen Kai pay more attention to this consideration. This time, Zheng Chenggong authorized him to expand the army, which was a re-establishment of trust and a reward for refusing to win over the Dutch before. But military power has always been what Zheng Chenggong valued most.

, so Chen Kai wrote a reply directly after receiving the news, asking Zheng Chenggong to dispatch some officers from Fujian to strengthen the army.
