On the fifteenth day of the fourth year of Longwu, the governor of Guangdong, Li Chengdong, in Guangzhou, announced that he would return to the Ming Dynasty and respect Emperor Yongli as the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Most of the generals in Guangdong came from Li Chengdong, and the commander of the commander opposed the Qing Dynasty. The generals of Jing Cong, and the officials of various prefectures and counties were busy changing their robes. Even the bannerman Tong Yangjia, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was forced to cut and change his clothes.

Li Chengdong was influenced by the influence of Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren in Jiangxi. It was also because the Qing court adhered to the principle of ruling "Liao people" in treating Han officials and generals and generals, and used "Liao people" to check and balance other Han people, which caused Li Chengdong to destroy the two emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty and swept across a province in Guangdong. In this way, the one who caused him such dissatisfaction was Tong Yangjia.

In fact, Tong Yangjia was not one of the Tong Jia clans who really followed the Qing Dynasty to rise in Liaodong. At the beginning of the Liao incident, the Tong family was a rebel, and the Ming court arrested members of the Tong family in the controlled area. Tong Yangjia changed his name and was wandering in the pass. Later, when he was working in Zuo Liangyu's curtain, he claimed that his surname was Dong Mingyuan. Since the Qing army entered the pass, he was promoted step by step from a staff member who supervised the salt salary for Zuo Liangyu with his restored surname. Even when Li Chengdong seized Guangdong and took great steps towards Guangxi, he even took the high position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and governor of Guangdong. Instead, he became the general officer of Xuzhou Town when the Qing army entered the pass. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he was also the boss of Li Chengdong who fought bloody battles for the Qing court.

In fact, in addition to Li Chengdong, there were also Jin Shenghuan, a military general who was also a province of Jiangxi that was alone in seizing the Qing court. The two of them were unable to obtain higher official positions and greater power, and they were even bullied by the Qing court's trust officials. It can be said that the climax of the anti-Qing Dynasty in the second year of Yongli was itself caused by the Qing Dynasty's own policies.

After Li Chengdong rose up, he sent someone to show his goodwill to Emperor Yongli as soon as possible. At the same time, influenced by Jin Shenghuan and Li Chengdong, the Qing court's highest civil servant in Guangxi occupied area, Geng Xianzhong, also cited the half of Guangxi province occupied by the Qing court. Since the Yongli court had been squeezed into the southwest, the controlled area was suddenly expanded to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and the southeast coast!

However, Li Chengdong's subordinates did change from Qing to Ming, but for Zheng Chenggong, he was still a hostile existence, because Li Chengdong respected Emperor Yongli of Gui Fan, while Zheng Chenggong was still loyal to Emperor Longwu.

The news of Guangdong's changing flags blowing in all directions like the wind, blew the minds of every authority. In Chaozhou, because it is located in the easternmost part of Guangdong, it is even known as the corner of the province. The speed of getting news here is much lower than that of the prefectures and counties near Guangzhou, especially those controlled by Li Chengdong's generals. However, before Chen Kai's vacation was over and about to set off to return to Nan'ao Island, it also reached Zheng Chenggong's ears.

"Now, don't worry about Li Chengdong. The surname of the country is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Our army must seize the time to expand its strength!"

Chen Kai's previous predictions were reflected one by one, one word that was beyond reach and powerless. Now, it was so accurate that people immediately recalled Chen Kai's deductions as soon as they heard the current situation. But when they thought about it, it seemed that what he mentioned at the beginning had nothing to do with the current actual situation.

News of the huge changes in Guangdong came, and even the incident in Jiangxi was known to Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai. Overnight, the territory of the two provinces returned, and the general trend suddenly changed, which made people feel refreshed. However, this excitement passed, and they were both Ming army, but the emperor was different. Even compared to the previous case, when Li Chengdong was the Qing army, he had to worry about the heads of Chen Bangfu and other major troops in Guangxi and various rebels operating in Guangdong, these have now become friendly forces, and Zheng Chenggong's troops were even more annoying in Chaozhou.

"It is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Chen Zongjun to make sense."

Li Chengdong lost the enemy to the west, but the Nangan area to the north of Guangzhou was still in the hands of the Qing army. It was at the junction of Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian and Huguang. Its geographical location was very important. Although most of the areas were under the jurisdiction of Jiangxi, the Ming court specially established a new governor's jurisdiction here to ensure the ruling order here.

Nangan was in the hands of the Qing army, and Guangdong and Jiangxi were not even on the front line. Anyway, Li Chengdong must first get in touch with their relationship with the Yongli court. In terms of military affairs, Nangan should be the primary goal. On the contrary, the "remnants of Tang vassals" in Guangdong Province did not have so much time to pay attention to it.

By putting one's heart in mind and weighing priorities from the other party's perspective, Zheng Chenggong has a better surrounding environment. The problem now is that his own strength is weak. Of course, Li Chengdong cannot be guarded against it. Who knows if that guy will suck the wind or something and send someone to make trouble.

"Fortunately, Uncle Dingguo will arrive soon. With more Uncle Dingguo's troops, he will at least have more strength when he wiped out these Chaozhou thieves."

The letter that Zheng Hongkui promised Zheng Chenggong to invite him has arrived and is about to arrive soon. For this reason, Zheng Chenggong and Chen Kai have left Chaozhou Prefecture City and waited in Chenghai County. One is to get close, and the other is to better take into account the control area of ​​this line. After all, Zheng Chenggong's current control area is just a line, and he is most afraid of being cut off by others.

"That's true, now we should hurry up and continue to expand our strength."

The seven major tides of Chaohai have gone away. Zheng Chenggong's next goal has the right to choose. One is to go east to take down Haishan Zhu Yao and Huanggang Huang Hairu, and take advantage of the opportunity to seize the Fenshui Pass to achieve its defensive advantage over the Qing army in southern Fujian. The other direction is to go west to guard the four major villages in Chenghai County - Nanyang, Outing, Waisha and Guanlong. Among them, the South Ocean is Lianxia Town on the opposite bank of the North Stream, and Guanlong is located in the northwest direction, and is located on a delta with Chenghai County. Both of these places are already in the hands of Zheng Chenggong. The remaining outer sand is south, facing each other across the East Stream, while Outing Village is further south, and has crossed Xixi.

The addition of these four large villages outside Chenghai County constitutes the defense system of the Hanjiang Delta. As for Zheng Chenggong, Outing Village may not be ignored for the time being, but Waisha Village must be taken down as soon as possible, so as to better ensure the safety of Chenghai County.

Whether it is a military service or a persuasion, it has not been decided yet, because whether it is the Chaozhou City Guardian Association, Houjin Town, or the garrison battalion of Chenghai Association and Nanyang Village, these newly built troops are trying to train. Since the expansion requires some old troops to be drawn to lead new troops, the original newly added soldiers in each town also needs a lot of time to train and run-in.

"If you can convince, you will convince. If you can't convince, you will send troops to attack and let the soldiers see blood."

Zheng Chenggong had made up his mind, and Chen Kai had no intention of saying anything else. It was his idea to use the Tumen who refused to submit to Chaozhou to train troops, and now there is no need to pretend to be compassionate.

As he was talking here, the personal soldiers outside came to report that the Duke of Ding, Zheng Hongkui, was sailing into the dock outside Chenghai County and would soon arrive here.
