Du Hui and the Ke brothers were trying their best to maintain the defense of Chaozhou Prefecture, while Chen Kai was working hard to stabilize the people's hearts. Just when Chen Kai was talking to the security chiefs and chiefs, Zheng Chenggong, who had already been prepared when Du Hui set off, immediately led his army to board the boat after receiving the reward.

The plan formulated by Chen Kai was originally the result of continuous deduction with Zheng Chenggong. Originally, Zheng Chenggong did not agree to Chen Kai personally leading his people to infiltrate Chaozhou Prefecture, because Chen Kai was no longer just a staff member who gave advice to this army, but an absolutely indispensable person.

This is a great achievement that Chen Kai has made in the military tools workshop in the past year. His foresight and intelligence analysis ability have always been valued by Zheng Chenggong. However, Chen Kai has repeatedly insisted, and there is indeed no more suitable candidate on Nan'ao Island than Chen Kai, so he had to settle for the second best and let Chen Kai take this risk.

Since Chen Kai set out, in the past few days, Chen Kai has been making trouble in Chaozhou City, which can be called a great effort. Zheng Chenggong was also anxious on Nan'ao Island, fearing that Chen Kai and others would be seen through by Che Renzhong. The sky was pitiful. After waiting for a few days, he finally got the news, and it was a great good news. Even Zheng Chenggong, who had gradually become happy and angry, could not help but show joy.

From Chen Kai completing the impossible production task in that month and a half to a series of equipment innovations later, Zheng Chenggong always believed that Chen Kai was the chosen person who was sent by the ancestors of the Emperor Ming Dynasty to help him revive the Ming Dynasty and clear the family shame brought by his father's surrender to the Qing Dynasty. This is a natural will, and it has been further confirmed now.

"With three hundred soldiers, we seized a large city of 50,000 people. This is truly God's pity for the Chinese people to suffer the cruelty of the Tartars!"

Chaozhou Prefecture City is a hundred miles deep inland. When sailing, you must go upstream on the Han River. The wind direction is still acceptable, but it is indeed not advisable to have too many people. Zheng Chenggong simply took the four towns of Qinding Town, Zuochong Town, Youchong Town and Zhongchong Town to set out, striving to reach Chaozhou Prefecture City as fast as possible to ensure that there will be no more losses.

From the port outside Nan'ao City to the estuary of the Hanjiang River, it is only about twenty miles, which is only five or six miles away. The sea ships of this era have only a few knots of speed, but this distance is only an hour. Even an hour has not passed, and Zheng Chenggong's ship has already sailed into the estuary of the Hanjiang River.

The Han River originated in the mountainous area at the junction of Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong provinces. It merged with Meixi in Sanheba, Dapu County, and then followed the terrain and went straight into the sea through Chaozhou City. The estuary of the Han River is divided into three parts, which are called Beixi, Dongxi and Xixi respectively by locals. Because the North River happens to be sandwiched between the pirates in Chenghai County and Nanyangzhai, Lianxia Town, Zheng Chenggong did not choose there, but entered from Dongxi.

The only local armed forces in Dongxi is close to Chenghai County. Yang Hu, a local tyrant who claims to be the governor of Chenghai County, has a flat terrain, a large arable land area and a dense population, so after it was out of control in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, it was mostly coveted by bandits and pirates around it. Even last year, Huang Hairu, a native of Huanggang Fort in Raoping County, sent troops to attack here.

Yang Hu occupied this place and his own strength was not weak, but he was in the four battles and was spying on the bandits. He was not willing to provoke Zheng Chenggong's army, which was obviously just passing through the border. He simply closed the city gate and allowed Zheng Chenggong to recruit boatmen from the vicinity and go upstream.

When Zheng Chenggong was sailing against the current, his troops slowly walked. Later, due to the change of wind direction, they simply divided a town and took turns to get off the boat and walked. Fortunately, Zheng Chenggong also headed north in large numbers. The strength of more than 2,000 combat soldiers was not to be underestimated by the surrounding gangs. He was not ashamed of danger along the way, but it took several days to arrive at the city of Chaozhou.

Fortunately, in the early stage of horse exploration, the city was still under the control of the Ming army. After contacting, the ships of Zheng Chenggong's troops sailed into the dock and followed the towns into the city. Chen Kai and others were finally able to let go of their hearts for a few days.

"National surname."

Chen Kaifu bowed, but Zheng Chenggong immediately stepped forward, held up with both hands, and then bowed: "Chen Zhengjun is willing to take risks for the royal army and should receive this worship."

Zheng Chenggong was like this, so Chen Kai had to return the gift quickly. If it were others, such as Du Hui and the Ke brothers, Zheng Chenggong would not have been like this, because they were Zheng Chenggong's generals, military generals, and they were wearing strong and holding sharp edges to kill the battlefield. However, Chen Kai was a civil servant. He should have been in charge of the military weapon workshop on Nan'ao Island to build weapons and armor for the army, but now he is taking risks to deceive the city and even personally fight with Che Renzhong and other figures. In this way, Zheng Chenggong is also respectful.

"Let's talk about it when we go back to the head of the town. We have a lot of things to do, and we really don't have any time to spare."

As Chen Kai said, after taking over Chaozhou Prefecture City, Zheng Chenggong's reinforcements arrived and achieved stable control of the place. This was just the first step. There were still a lot of things to do next, and their time was still very tight.

When he arrived at the General Town Government, Zheng Chenggong sat down. The first thing he saw was the explanation of the prefecture, county government offices and Chaozhou Town compiled by Chen Kai, Ke Chenshu and Du Hui. In terms of details, there was not enough time yet, so he had to allow Zheng Chenggong to check it out after the meeting.

"Chen Chanjun did a good job in dealing with those officials. As long as they are not the kind of loyalty of the Tartars, there is no need to make things difficult for scholars. Those who are willing to follow the court will welcome them, and those who are unwilling to give them money and return home. As for returning to their hometown, whether they explain in fact or talk big, we can all gain the reputation of being respectful to the wise and humble."

Scholars have a great influence in the local area, which Chen Kai has known for a long time. Shen Quanqi's performance during the battle of Quanzhou is an example. After being praised by Zheng Chenggong, Chen Kai was humble for a few words, and the topic quickly turned to military affairs.

"Chaozhou city defense is temporarily under the charge of Zuochong Town and Youchong Town. Ke Chenshu and Ke Chenmei are called back to Zhongchong Town to get familiar with the troops again and wait for their future lives."

After Zheng Chenggong said this, Yang Cai, Zuochong Town General Town, Lin Yi, and Ke brothers all stood up to promise. After taking a breath, Zheng Chenggong continued: "Du Hui, deputy general of Chaozhou City, will be limited to you to complete the identification of Chaozhou Town soldiers within three days. Those who are qualified will be kept, those who are in great anger will be punished in public, and the old and weak will be converted into auxiliary soldiers. In addition, one hundred soldiers will be drawn from Zhongchong Town, Zuochong Town and Youchong Town to supplement your troops. Chaozhou City Defense Association will be assigned to one thousand. Deputy General Du, this is the first city that our army recovers, and it is the first city, so I will hand it over to you."

"The last general will fulfill his mission. The city is in the world, and the city is destroyed and the people are destroyed!"

Sooner or later, Zhongchong Town will be transferred to other places to fight and suppress. Du Hui is one of the main leaders involved in the capture of the city, and he personally shocked the barracks. The original Chaozhou Town soldiers were very deterrent. The Chaozhou City defending team of 1,000 is equivalent to Nan'ao Town, and twice as many as other towns. However, he is just a deputy general. On the one hand, he has to take care of the emotions of other more qualified generals. On the other hand, it is because Chen Kai changed the Zhangquan strategy that Zheng Chenggong always adhered to in history and turned to attack Chaozhou. With him here, there is no need for the existence of generals here.

Du Hui made a generous speech, and the generals were also in a state of great excitement. From a small army with only about ninety people and wandering alone in the storm, not only has the army expanded by nearly 10,000, but also occupied a city. Its progress was so fast that it seemed to be growing every day.

Among them, there are many Zheng Chenggong's leaders, many soldiers fighting to the death, and even more so, Chen Kai, a scholar who suddenly appeared in Chaozhou and suddenly came to Nan'ao Island, the governance and tricks.

Since entering Chaozhou Prefecture City, the generals have long looked at Chen Kai differently. From an outside scholar, to a civil servant with some skills, to a far-sighted strategist, today, in less than a year, he has become his own brother. Chen Kai can truly integrate into this brand new Zheng Group led by Zheng Chenggong!

Chen Kai's current mission is currently still responsible for the civil affairs and common affairs of Chaozhou Fucheng. Now Zheng Chenggong and this army need him and Du Hui to sit in the city to deter those people who are ready to move. The troops brought by Zheng Chenggong quickly followed the order and replaced the soldiers who received the preliminary adaptation to control the entire Chaozhou Fucheng.

The adaptation in the barracks was launched at the first time, and Zheng Chenggong also ordered the opening of the seven gates of Chaozhou City to allow the circulation of goods and personnel from the people inside and outside the city.

Four towns of soldiers, three hundred city-scammers plus the two thousand Chaozhou town-scammers who were being adapted, Zheng Chenggong's troops in Chaozhou City had more than twice the weight of the previous car responsibilities, so he was fearless. After checking the official documents, in the afternoon, Chen Kai led Zheng Chenggong to Guangji Gate, which was a must-see place after entering the tide, and it was also something that Zheng Chenggong invited the big tribes and gentry in the city to know in advance when they had a banquet, but Chen Kai did not focus on the bridge.

"Can the national surname know the origin of Han Jiang?"

"I hope to hear the details."

In late spring, in March, climbing the tower to look out, the water in the Han River rises, the river surface is wide, the long bridge lies on the waves, the smoke is vast, the brush peaks are like picturesque, and the boats are like shuttles, which has a unique scenery. Therefore, the eight scenic spots in Chaozhou have the advantage of "Watching the Tide in the East Tower".

Chen Kai stared at the river in the distance, looked at the bridges that ran across the banks, looked at the boats on the river, and the people who survived here, and then said seriously: "Han Jiang was originally named Eixi because crocodiles often appear here and hurt people. In the Tang Dynasty, Duke Han Wen was demoted to this place, wrote articles to sacrifice crocodiles, and trained archers to hunt and kill. Since then, the people of Chaozhou have no longer been harmed by crocodiles. The locals are grateful for Duke Han Wen's kindness, so they renamed this river to Han Jiang as a commemoration."

Chaozhou people are grateful and highly praised Han Yu. In the capital city alone, there are many buildings used to commemorate Han Yu. Even the Guangji Bridge, which was built only in the Southern Song Dynasty, has always linked Han Yu's nephew Han Xiangzi with him, and stubbornly called him Xiangzi Bridge.

Chen Kai's words mean something, and how could Zheng Chenggong not hear the metaphor? Following Chen Kai's sight, Zheng Chenggong looked at the distant river surface, and then said solemnly: "Then let's inherit Mr. Changli's will and kill the crocodiles in cholera for the people of Chaozhou!"
