Chapter 68: First Meeting (Part 2)

Nearly a year and a half has passed since Zheng Chenggong launched his troops on Nan'ao Island in the twelfth lunar month of the year before last. During this period, Zheng Chenggong attacked Haicheng, besieged Quanzhou, fought in Taohuashan, besieged and annihilated Liu Shizhai, and fought many battles, but he only managed to win.

They conquered Dongshan Island, but because of the lack of defense on the island, they almost surrendered without a fight. Several battles before that ended in vain. It was not until this year, with the success of outsmarting Chaozhou, that we finally had a victory.

Some general trends are coming in my direction.

Zheng Chenggong's words aroused Zheng Hongkui's curiosity. He had always been very optimistic about Zheng Chenggong. He also believed that with his vision of people, he would never be wrong. When he attacked Quanzhou last year, Zheng Chenggong planned an siege.

The Qing army in Liushizhai was full of intelligence. Although they failed to intercept Wang Jin, they still showed real ability. All they lacked was opportunity.

Dongshan Island is far away from Chaozhou, and it is the easternmost of the occupied areas controlled by Zheng Chenggong. There were delays and omissions in getting the information. In addition, when Zheng Chenggong wrote the invitation, he could not be too detailed.

As for Zheng Hongkui, when he heard that Chaozhou had been restored, his first impression was that this battle was Zheng Chenggong's work, and he would not think too much about anything else.

Regarding this, Zheng Chenggong had no real intention to whet Zheng Hongkui's appetite. Seeing the latter's curiosity, he said bluntly: "The ability to outwit Chaozhou Fucheng this time was all due to the plan of Chen Canjun, whom the fourth uncle had just met.

, even the seizure of the city was done by him personally with Ke Chenshu, Du Hui and others."

"That, weak scholar?!"

Ke Chenshu and Du Hui were both known to Zheng Hongkui. They had attacked Quanzhou under Zheng Chenggong last year. Zheng Hongkui was immediately taken aback by Zheng Chenggong's words. Even Zheng Hongkui, who had been sitting quietly all the time, was stunned.

The little girl next to her also widened her eyes, filled with disbelief.

"Weak?"

Zheng Chenggong shook his head, then smiled and said: "Chen Canjun seems to be weak, but in fact he is not. In the last battle to seize the city, he personally took Ke Chenshu's younger brother Ke Chenmei and two strong men from the army to trick him into Chaozhou.

The General Military Mansion is located above the main hall of the Chinese Army, where there are heavy responsibilities. We killed him and forced hundreds of soldiers in the General Military Mansion to surrender."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Zheng Hongkui couldn't help but shook his head. Judging from his severity, Chen Kai didn't have any martial arts skills, but to be like this, could it be that he was wrong?

"The fourth uncle is not wrong. Chen Canjun does not know martial arts, but he deceived Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin enough from the moment he entered Chaozhou City. He even deceived the two of them into actually helping him, and finally relied on a surprise attack.

, killing him in one fell swoop. Looking back now, thinking about it, he was able to go down from the southwest of Shanxi alone back then. I am afraid it was not just the blessing of Huang Ming’s ancestors. This person can no longer be described as an extraordinary person. In fact,

He is a genius in the world!"

Next, Zheng Chenggong narrated the whole story. From the twelfth lunar month military meeting, when Chen Kai single-handedly overturned the joint plan of attacking Tong'an County made by the generals, to his impassioned speech on New Year's Eve, to

After three months of painstaking preparation, and then taking advantage of the Fujian grain shortage to defraud Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin into trusting each other, Zheng Hongkui couldn't wait to put his ear to Zheng Chenggong's mouth, lest he miss a word.

Son.

"If we say it is thrilling, even if the task of assassinating Che in the end is heavy, it will not compare to confronting the staff of the Guangdong Governor's Yamen in front of the court. It is a pity that Chen Canjun himself has never talked much about this matter, and he is not proud of it at all.

Even with such a temper, there is nothing wrong with it. But according to the descriptions of Du Hui, Ke Chenshu and Ke Chenmei, it seems that it was Chen Shenjun who argued the guy thoroughly and left in a hurry. Later, even Huang Menglin personally

Accompanying him to meet Du Hui, who has just arrived, he looks as if he is a superior official and is welcoming him."

After talking about this, Zheng Chenggong smiled unconsciously, but Zheng Hongkui's expression suddenly changed, and then he shook his head awkwardly, obviously feeling how ridiculous his sudden idea was.

Zheng Chenggong saw all this, but he didn't say anything. When Chen Kai first arrived at Nan'ao Island, he had doubted his identity. It was not only him, but also Chen Bao and Hong Xu.

A close confidant who once had a tense relationship with Chen Kai, but now has long since put an end to the past, also expressed his disbelief in traveling thousands of miles alone. But looking back now, it's just like what he just said.

I'm afraid it's more than just the blessing of Huangming's ancestors.

The thought flashed away, and Zheng Chenggong immediately began to talk about what happened next. He went to the banquet alone, and continued to dispel Che Renzhong's precautions while changing glasses. However, when he saw the woman's death with his own eyes, he dared to

He set up a trap the next day and even risked his life to fight. Such a person truly deserves the reputation of being an unparalleled national warrior.

The thrilling story of outsmarting Chaozhou was gradually explained word for word by Zheng Chenggong. Many of the details were not clear because he was not present at the time. However, when the matter was mentioned to this point, the three people present were all caught up in it.

There was silence. It was not until a long time later that the girl said something very abruptly.

"This Chen Canjun is quite like a scholar of the Spring and Autumn Period."

Scholars of the Spring and Autumn Period were both civil and military. In peacetime, they "cultivated morality and discussed Taoism", taught rituals and music, made plans, and managed state affairs. In wartime, they wore armor and swords and served on the battlefield. To this day, scholars even wear the sword encouraged by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.

I can no longer study abroad. Instead, I behave like a woman, holding a fan and applying perfume, and I think I am elegant.

The girl's big eyes flashed, as if she really saw a national scholar from two thousand years ago in the story Zheng Chenggong just told. Zheng Hongkui, on the other hand, nodded subconsciously, but unexpectedly, he nodded halfway, but

He frowned and asked his daughter: "Yuanyuan, I told you earlier that I would like to read more "Female Rules" and "Female Commandments" when I have time. Have you secretly read those ancient books in my study again?

?”

Zheng Hongkui forced an expression of displeasure, but looking at his daughter's little face that clearly said "exposed", he wanted to laugh. At this time, when Zheng Chenggong advised him to read more, he finally

It's good. The little girl even pouted her lips and explained to Zheng Hongkui: "Dad, my daughter has finished her homework as instructed by her mother, and then took advantage of her rest time to take a look. Don't be so stingy."

"Hey, you girl, I can't do anything with you. Go back and ask your mother to take care of you."

Zheng Hongkui smiled and shook his head. His little daughter was usually the most favored by him. Naturally, she was not as well-behaved in front of him as she was in front of her mother. However, this little daughter was still young, and so was he.

Afraid of being too restrictive and prematurely losing the liveliness and cuteness under Cheng Huan, I will inadvertently indulge.

However, I'm afraid this won't last too long, because at this age, the daughter should also be married to someone else. Adapt to those rules early, so that you won't make your parents-in-law unhappy in the future and make fun of them. Even if the Zheng family is
