Chapter 239 Thorn Tiger (1)

The order was issued from Zhongzuo Station, and it was already early May when we arrived in Nan'ao.

Since leaving the Zhongzuo Institute, Chen Kai has closed the door to thank guests every day. It is easy for him to have more time to sort out the books that he had prepared as teaching materials earlier. Those books are either from Chaozhou or from Chaozhou.

Acquired from Guangzhou, they are all Chinese and Western knowledge about mathematics, physics and even chemistry, supplemented by some knowledge that he has slowly recalled over the past few years. They are summarized and compiled according to the order of some courses in later generations in his memory. In the first two

I finally have a relatively basic and practical textbook.

The lack of experience in compiling textbooks has invisibly delayed too much time. But fortunately, the little things add up, and until recently, with all the efforts, this set was finally integrated into the local books including "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

Localized teaching materials including some key points of knowledge have been produced, which is also a good thing for Chen Kai.

The Ordnance Bureau-affiliated school on Nan'ao Island did not decline because of Chen Kai's "loss of power." When he finished compiling the teaching materials and began to spend time teaching them to the teachers of those schools, there was no resistance among them.

Generally speaking, the people on Nan'ao Island are the most complete witnesses to Chen Kai's rise within the Zheng Group in recent years. They are not like the situation at the Zhongzuo Institute, there are not too many people with ulterior motives, and they are not confident.

It is more sufficient, and many plans that appear difficult to achieve in the center-left are completely different in South Australia.

Over the past few days, Chen Kai went to the school to listen to classes during the day. In the evening, after the students went home, he gave lessons to the teachers. The main lectures were on mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc. He was not in a hurry. First, he needed to have a math teacher.

If you learn the basics and then learn these, you can get twice the result with half the effort. This is just like before learning arithmetic, Chen Kai first did literacy.

Not even ten fulfilling days had passed. Zheng Chenggong's order was conveyed to Nan'ao Island, and Chen Kai was about to set off and return to the Zhongzuo Institute.

"Well, I know. I'll go back and make preparations and set off immediately."

After arranging things in the school, Chen Kai had his things packed up and boarded the ship to set off. He had already learned that Zheng Chenggong should not be at Zhongzuo Station at this time, but was sending troops out. The person who sent the order said on behalf of Zheng Chenggong that he would return soon.

Let Chen Kai stay for a few days after arriving in Xiamen.

………………

When the Zeng De case broke out, Zheng Chenggong thought carefully and finally sent someone to find Shi Lang's younger brother Shi Xian and asked him to bring a message to Shi Lang, saying that "the vassal is incapable of doing harm."

This is comfort, but it is also a warning. Shi Lang, who was originally a little uneasy about killing Zeng De, heard this and related it to Chen Kai, his role in this army and his understanding of his own abilities.

After evaluation, I just felt that Zheng Chenggong still wanted to use him, and I was completely relieved.

Within two or three days, Zheng Chenggong led his army from Zhongzuo Suo. Yongning Acropolis and Chongwu Qianhusuo City were located in the northern part of Shenhu Bay and the northeast of Quanzhou Bay respectively on the boundary of Quanzhou Prefecture. Starting from Zhongzuo Suo, they passed through Kinmen

On the island, not far north along the coastline of Fuquanshuo is Yongning Acropolis. From the north of Yongning Acropolis, you can go directly to Chongwu Qianhusuo City by crossing Quanzhou Bay.

On the fourth day of May, Zheng Chenggong personally came to supervise and led the land and sea troops to attack the two cities. They captured the two cities without much effort. He then loaded the grain and grass stored here onto the ship, weighed anchor and returned to the voyage.

In this battle, Zheng Chenggong's soldiers were inspired by Zheng Chenggong's decision on Chen Kai's execution of Zheng Zhiwan, and the "Rewards for Killing Captives and Enemies" promulgated not long ago clarified military merit rewards, fought bravely, and demonstrated

Zheng Chenggong was very pleased with this. The fleet returned and military merit rewards were distributed according to the "Rewards". The morale of the military was greatly boosted. It was different from the past.

The Zhongzuo Institute is located between Zhangzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture. It is not far from the two cities. The fleet quickly crossed Kinmen Island and arrived at the Zhongzuo Institute. After entering the city, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to summon Chen Kai.

When Chen Kai arrived, there was still some time, so Zheng Chenggong called Cai Qiao and expressed that he would send him to lead dozens of soldiers to protect Chen Kai as he headed to Jiangxi.

Cai Qiao was a familiar acquaintance of Chen Kai. When Chen Kai went to Changlin Temple to mobilize volunteers from Changlin Temple to participate in the Battle of Pantuoling, it was Cai Qiao who led the escort and directly participated in the battle. Later, Chen Kai planned the Guangzhou retreat, and it was this same person

Together with Lin Dezhong, he led the guards to protect Chen Kai, but that battle was overrun by the defenders, navy and Guangzhou volunteers. They were more of a helper in maintaining order and serving as the last line of defense for the Ming army.

Zheng Chenggong issued the order, and Cai Qiao immediately accepted the order. For him, Chen Kai's temperament and temperament made him feel comfortable after escorting Chen Kai many times. They had already understood each other, and the task was easier to carry out. This time, it was nothing more than leaving.

It's just a little further away, but that's not much different.

However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Zheng Chenggong suddenly remembered the level of understanding of the Qing Dynasty's internal affairs that Chen Kai had shown when he proposed the rescue of Guangzhou. This was unprecedented for ordinary people. He asked about it intentionally at the time, but he couldn't.

It was delayed because of the presence of Shi Lang, Zheng Zhiwan, Zheng Zhipeng and others, as well as Zheng Xiyuan's matter. Looking back now, I always feel a little uneasy in it.

"How should you behave when you go to Jiangxi this time?"

"Fighting to the death to protect him, I have my humble duty to save my life, and I will never let others hurt Chen Shenjun even a hair!"

Cai Qiao answered categorically without thinking. Then Zheng Chenggong nodded, but continued to ask: "What should you do if Chen Canjun defected to another king's division?"

Once he heard this question, Cai Qiao was shocked. The relationship between Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong was harmonious. They were said to be proprietors and staff, but in fact they were more like two people walking side by side in the storm.

Brothers. In this regard, none of the so-called uncles and brothers of the Zheng family can compare with them. Even the many generals and officials under Zheng Chenggong’s command are also unmatched by anyone.

However, precisely because of this, Chen Kai's importance to Zheng Chenggong was much higher than that of others. Even Shi Lang, who once made Zheng Chenggong obey his advice, was also far less important. Now when Zheng Chenggong asked this question, Cai Qiao

I couldn't help but swallowed, and then responded in a deep voice: "Bizhi will definitely bring Chen Canjun back to see Mr. Guo. If he can't bring the person with his full beard, I will definitely bring Chen Canjun's head back.

Don't let it fall into the wrong hands."

It is said that Cai Qiao is Zheng Chenggong's trusted bodyguard. Many people like Li Chang, Huang Chang, Yang Jie and others who have followed him for many years have been sent to various towns. Cai Qiao lives up to his name and has repeatedly done so.

Zheng Chenggong had already planned to release him for his military exploits, but when he came back this time, Chen Kai insisted on traveling far away, so he put it aside for the time being.

At this moment, Cai Qiao's solemnity made Zheng Chenggong very satisfied. However, he shook his head in response to this answer, and then his eyes were fixed on Cai Qiao's eyes. There was no doubt in his eyes, as if there was substance.

"Jing Cheng has helped me a lot over the years. In this major marriage matter, I, Zheng, can't help but feel sorry for him. If Jing Cheng intends to switch to work for another king master, you'd better express your attitude early to protect his safety.

The first priority is to avoid death in a foreign land; but if someone turns out to be a captive, he will be killed and his body and head must be separated to ensure a complete plan."

At this point, Zheng Chenggong showed pain on his face, and it disappeared for a moment. Then, as if to explain to Cai Qiao, or to convince himself, he said quietly, "One Hong Heng Jiu is enough. The court,
Chapter completed!
