Recruiting immigrants obviously requires multi-faceted operations. The only places Chen Kai can think of are Fujian and neighboring Chaozhou. At least he has never planned to find Europeans to buy some niggas and bring them back to be an eyesore.

As for Fujian, northern Fujian depends on King Lu's face, but in southern Fujian, the Zheng family's prestige is even greater. But now Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui have devoted all their energy to the Chaozhou battlefield, and Zheng Cai's apparent brother is a master who cannot be trusted.

There is little hope. As for Chaozhou, Zheng Chenggong is still seizing the time to expand his strength. It is unethical to poach corners.

Chen Kai plans to discuss this issue with Zheng Chenggong, and there will always be a solution. I think back then, Zheng Chenggong’s father organized immigration to Taiwan. Now that Fujian is in chaos, South Australia is a paradise for those who long for a peaceful life.

It should still have a certain degree of temptation, at least it should be greater than that of Taiwan, a wild land with a high immigrant mortality rate.

Before Chen Kai had time to think about when to talk to Zheng Chenggong about this issue, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to deliver the news first.

Generally speaking, there are two things. First, the issue of ownership of Haishan Island has been resolved. Zheng Chenggong granted Zhu Yao the official position of Governor Qianshi to continue to guard Haishan Island, but the administration will be led by Chen Kai. The second thing is more troublesome.

Well, the trouble was not the matter itself, but the follow-up actions that Chen Kai realized, that is, Fu Ming Hou Lincha decided to come and submit to Zheng Chenggong's banner, and now he has arrived in Chenghai County.

Instigating, or inducing Fu Minghou Lincha to come to vote, has been the established strategy after Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong discussed it as early as last year. Now that it has achieved results, it is a gratifying and good thing - no matter what

, Lin Cha was also a member of the Zheng Group back then, the backbone of the Shaowu court, and his three thousand subordinates were very elite. Now that he has lost the money, the more than a thousand soldiers in his hand are all experienced in hundreds of battles, especially

In naval battles, he is much stronger than the new recruits.

However, historically, Lin Cha came to vote in May, and now it is only the beginning of April, not to mention a month early. After determining the general situation of the Yongli court, will Zheng Chenggong still make the same decisions as at that time?

The same choice is what makes Chen Kai completely unpredictable. More importantly, what kind of statement does he need to make when he claims to have come to defect to Emperor Longwu!

It only took less than a few hours to get from Nan'ao Island to Chenghai County. Chen Kai just treated it as a long journey, with at most some traffic jams and bumps, and he arrived very quickly.

Compared with when I left here a few days ago, there are many more large and small ships parked on the dock, but at a glance, they are all seriously lacking in maintenance. Even Chen Kai, who does not have a deep understanding of ship manufacturing,

People can easily come to this conclusion just by looking at the busy figures of the shipwrights.

Lin Cha's headquarters has been restored, but unfortunately, Chen Kai still has a way to distinguish them from the Ming troops he saw on the road - Zheng Chenggong's headquarters is expanding too fast and the occupied area is too small.

It is also a bulk cargo for sea trade. All this has led to a huge problem. The military uniforms of Zheng Chenggong cannot be guaranteed. Many soldiers are still wearing civilian clothes. But if you look carefully, those wearing military uniforms and clothes are brand new or used.

The half-worn ones are probably Zheng Chenggong's men, and the shabby ones that are even envious of the people around them are probably the soldiers brought by Lin Cha.

"This matter is a bit interesting."

Chen Kai nodded, with a smile on his lips, and then walked into Zheng Chenggong's Chinese army tent.

"Jingcheng, this is Lincha, the Marquis of Fuming, my father's old subordinate, and a famous naval general in Fujian and Guangdong."

"The surname Guo is over-reputed, over-reputed." Lin Cha saluted, and then sighed: "In the past two years, I have been driven into the sea by Li Chengdong, and I have been wandering, relying on the surname Guo for support. I, oh, I really

It’s so shameful.”

In the past two years, the land of Fujian and Guangdong has been shattered, and Lin Cha has obviously endured a lot of hardships, and his whole person looks quite vicissitudes. Chen Kai has read historical materials and found that Lin Cha was a veteran who single-handedly resisted the Yongli imperial court, and even

For a time, he still had the upper hand, but unexpectedly, Guangzhou behind him was attacked by Li Chengdong, and the Shaowu court was destroyed. He, a military commander who had nothing to do with both sides, was left wandering at sea.

Being affiliated to Zheng Chenggong is a good thing for Lin Cha. Having a place to settle down and a goal to move forward is also a good thing for Zheng Chenggong to expand his strength. What's more, if the two can achieve a win-win situation, then

This is an even better thing.

"Marquis Lin is too modest, really too modest." Zheng Chenggong responded, and then changed the subject and said to Lin Cha: "Marquis Lin, this is the Civil Affairs Bureau of our army in Nan'ao, Tongshan.

Chen Kaichen joins the army."

Chen Kai bowed and saluted, but Lin Cha helped him up: "So you are Chen Canjun who outsmarted Chaozhou. I have heard Guo Xing praise him many times, and you are the Tatar in Guangzhou...

..." At this point, Lin Cha's expression suddenly became complicated, and he immediately changed his story, claiming that even the Ming army in Guangzhou was spreading wild rumors about Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong's coordinated attack on Chaozhou.

The King's Flag changes on the city wall of Guangzhou, and the whole of Guangdong is undergoing great changes. From a macro perspective, this year is the first climax of the Southern Ming Dynasty's resistance to the Qing Dynasty. Living in this great era, even if it is only on the fringes,

You can also clearly feel the changes.

Lin Cha exchanged pleasantries for a few words and asked Chen Kai some details about the capture of Chaozhou. Everyone's itch was scratched, and they continued the topic they had just talked about before Chen Kai arrived.

"Guifan originally came to the throne in Zhaoqing Prefecture, Guangdong. Later, Li Chengdong and his men swept through Guangdong and withdrew to Guangxi, where they stayed in Wuzhou, Guilin, Liuzhou, Nanning and other places. Later, Chen Shangshu, Zhang Hanlin and Chen Chief of Guangdong raised troops, and Li Chengdong and others

The thieves had no choice but to restrain their troops and went back to suppress the local rebels in Guangdong. However, this guy killed Chen Shangshu and others last year, so he raised an army on the 15th day of March this year. Anyway, if we include that he had been a thief in his early years, he would be pacified and surrendered to the Tatars.

The most important thing is that he is a capricious guy."

Lin Cha has a lot of resentment towards Li Chengdong. In fact, this is normal. Any coach who achieves a great victory on the front line, but has his lair in the rear raided, and takes advantage of the situation to drive him into the sea, will inevitably regard him as his lifelong enemy.

.

A capricious sentence, but Chen Kai heard the implication of comparing him to Lu Bu. However, as Lin Cha explained the situations he discovered one by one, along with the intelligence analysis that Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong had obtained earlier.

, in just a blink of an eye, the Yongli Imperial Court, which originally seemed to be drifting in the wind, suddenly turned into a behemoth occupying several provinces.

After explaining everything they knew, Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong looked at each other after recalling Lin Cha's words. What they saw in each other's eyes was the calmness they had analyzed before. Now they are nominally Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces.

Anyway, there is still a governor's jurisdiction between the two provinces. I think that Mr. Yangming Wang Shouren was the governor of Southern Gansu to quell the rebellion of King Ning, and Jin Shenghuan immediately chose to attack Southern Gan anyway. The importance of this place

, which is evident from this.

At this stage, Li Chengdong does not have the ability to attack Chaozhou, and while Zheng Chenggong accepted Lin Cha, he also attracted Zheng Hongkui's troops, and their strength cannot be underestimated. But once either Li Chengdong or Jin Shenghuan breaks through Southern Gansu

roads to connect Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces, then the situation will not continue to be as optimistic as before.
Chapter completed!
