Historically, it was Shi Lang's handiwork that the Wan brothers joined Zheng Chenggong. However, at that time, Zheng Chenggong paid little attention to the Wan brothers and only gave Wanli the post of deputy general of the rear camp of Zuoxiang Town, serving under Shi Lang's command.

.

This state lasted for more than half a year, until Wanli was transferred to Rongqi Town and made many military exploits on the battlefield. Only then did he regain the appreciation of Zheng Chenggong. He was promoted at an unimaginable speed and even achieved the title of later admiral.

Officially, he was once known as the "Five Tiger Generals" under Zheng Chenggong along with He Wenxing, Wang Xiuqi, Huang Ting, and Gan Hui.

Now, as soon as Wanli arrived, he was immediately appointed as the chief military officer, in charge of a thousand-person military unit. The meaning was just as Shi Xian pointed out, and Shi Lang also understood it.

"Sooner or later, I'll make that guy walk around without food!"

Sooner or later, Shi Lang doesn't know when it will be, but he has been in the army for a long time, and he still has some tricks to make trouble for civilian officials. Even when he was under the hands of Huang Daozhou, he kicked an iron plate, but

Chen Kai is not the chief minister of the cabinet, and he is not even as high in rank as him. He is still an official responsible for practical matters, so he still has this confidence.

Early the next morning, Chen Kai set off back to Nan'ao Island. After not doing his job for half a month, it was time to go back from nine to five. However, Lin Dezhong's wedding, adhering to the old custom of not marrying in the first month and not marrying in the twelfth lunar month, had to wait until

He will get married again in February, but he will avoid the reality of being single and abused prematurely.

However, as soon as Chen Kai boarded the ship, before he had time to enter the cabin, a fast horse came from the back and invited him back to the general-recruiting house that had been converted from an outhouse with heavy chariot duties.

Xingyuan.

"Li Chengdong was defeated in Nangan and has now withdrawn to Guangzhou."

This is news that has just been delivered, but due to the deliberate intelligence shielding by Hao Shangjiu and Huang Yingjie from Huizhou Prefecture, what originally happened in early October has only now reached Chaozhou.

"Deserve it!"

Regarding Li Chengdong's failure, Shi Lang revealed his inner thoughts without any inhibitions. In fact, not only him, but also Huang Ting, Hong Xishan and others did not show happiness on their faces. Those who didn't know might have thought that this place was actually a building.

Here is my government office in the Qing Dynasty.

The grudges here are understandable, and even others don’t think there is anything strange about them. Only Chen Kai always thinks this is a good thing, and it’s not that he has any affection for Li Chengdong. This guy is also a butcher.

The blood of the Han people on his hands is no less than that of the Eight Banners Army. However, the problem here is that Li Chengdong's defeat means that Jiangxi is fighting alone, although Jin Shenghuan has never had fewer good people on his hands.

Blood, but if this continues, more people will die.

"It actually worked?"

The generals expressed their opinions, but they were worried about whether Li Chengdong would come to Chaozhou to find trouble after defeating Nangan, but this worry was still small after all. In any case, Li Chengdong and Zheng Chenggong were both generals under the Yongli Dynasty, but Nan

Jiangxi is still in the hands of the Qing army, and Nanchang is under siege by the Qing army. No matter how you look at it, it is more likely that Li Chengdong will go north again in the future.

However, while the generals were talking to each other, Chen Kai seemed to be distracted. Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong asked, and the generals also focused their attention on Chen Kai.

"The official believes that this matter will not have much impact on our army for the time being. However, our army still needs to seize all the time to expand its strength. Otherwise, the dust of the war in Jiangxi, Nangan and even Guangzhou that is likely to occur in the future will fall.

It is certain that whether it is Li Chengdong or the Tatars, the next step is likely to see our army as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh."

This is a real practical problem. It is not that no one thought of it earlier, but as Chen Kai extended it to Guangzhou, it still surprised everyone. Just saying this, Chen Kai returned to the ship. During this period

The accumulated good mood has long since disappeared, leaving only the two words "heavy" that make people feel depressed, both in appearance and in sound.

"Next month, there will be a massacre in Nanchang, in which 200,000 people were killed. It seems that it should be this month. Anyway, next year there will be another massacre in Datong in Jiangxiang, Shanxi, with only five people killed in the whole city. Earlier.

I have repeatedly used the words of being powerless and out of reach as one of the reasons for leading Zheng Chenggong to enter Chaozhou, but now it has been vividly used on me."

Not to mention Datong Prefecture in Shanxi Province, which is thousands of miles away, even next year, Chen Kai may not be able to leave, let alone change anything. And the massacre in Nanchang was definitely not caused by him alone, or by him and Zheng Chenggong

What can be reversed is unless he, Zheng Chenggong, Li Chengdong and He Tengjiao are all tied together. In terms of strength, the reversal can probably be completed. But the problem is that these people are simply incompatible, especially when there is He Tengjiao among them.

This is even more true now that the Nanming Pig is the most powerful contender for the top spot in the teammate rankings.

"This army is still too weak."

Shanxi battlefield, Jiangxi battlefield, and Nangan battlefield, there is no place where tens of thousands of soldiers are not fighting in bloody battles, and this does not even take into account the reinforcements that may arrive and the pig teammates who may stab the back at any time. Even, let alone

If the distance is too far, even if Chen Kai has mastered the magic of time and space and can teleport the entire army in one go, Zheng Chenggong has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, and many of them have never been

The new recruits of the formation were probably sacrificed in the past.

This year, Chen Kai tried his best to rewrite the tragedy of Tongan's bloody ditch, but the subsequent war of this level has exceeded the limit of Zheng Chenggong's troops. Even with Chen Kai's help, the problem of its weak foundation is extremely

It has a big impact on subsequent development. At this point, all Chen Kai can do is to trigger their sense of crisis, prompting them to work harder to strengthen their own strength, and then return to Nan'ao Island to continue to improve production capacity, and also

There is really no way to do anything else.

"No, there are no plug-ins, but the accelerator can still be used."

Before the twelfth lunar month, the new military uniform production workshop had been completed. Without Chen Kai, Mouse Xuzi relied on the experience of following Chen Kai for more than a year and put the new factory on the normal track at an extremely fast speed.

Above, weapons are being produced steadily, and the production capacity of military uniforms is rapidly expanding with the pace of enrollment expansion. Chen Kai has laid the foundation for these things and is on the right track. All he has to do is patrol.

Back on Nan'ao Island, Chen Kai started writing and drawing in his room again. Science and technology need to be accumulated bit by bit. There is no easy way, but there are some things that human power can change.

, but you can carefully study whether there is a possibility of achieving huge improvements in the short term.

At the end of the year, Chen Kai once again set off for Chaozhou. This time it was the last reporting work of the second year of Yongli. Chen Kai not only brought various reports and statements, but also brought with him the "accelerator" that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Come here and do everything possible to strengthen this army to prepare for future contingencies.

Thanks to the efforts of Ye Yiyun and the officials brought by Zheng Chenggong, Chaozhou's officialdom has improved, and military discipline has become better than in the era of heavy responsibilities. This place is located on a major transportation road, and the place is blocked, so there are naturally more business travelers.

The jobs and other business opportunities it will bring will also enable people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Chen Kai's carriage was passing through the city, and people on both sides of the road were buying goods for the New Year. They had not experienced such a day for many years, and even in Chen Kai's eyes, he felt sighing.

But when he returned to the place where he had been away for nearly a month, he always felt that something was not right in the atmosphere. When he entered Zheng Chenggong's study, he saw Zheng Chenggong and Shi Langzheng talking intimately about military affairs, and his heart suddenly felt...

Just a thud.
