"I heard the name of Jianping Hou for a long time, and it is well-known for thunder. I will see you today. I think I will have some advice when I come."

The person who arrived in Jinhua was not Yang Ying, a household official who had previously designated by Zheng Chenggong, but his cousin, Zheng Tai, the God of Wealth of the Zheng Group.

In fact, Yang Ying had already set out and even arrived in Wenzhou, but at that time, the four provincial capitals had begun. The Qing army's Taizhou Green Camp had already begun to gather in Wenzhou, preparing to go north along the Oujiang River. His disapproval of the prospects of the Ming army in Zhejiang and the Qing army's blockade of Wenzhou roads made Yang Ying finally give up and continue to go to Jinhua, but returned to Fujian to report to Zheng Chenggong.

Two months later, the four provincial capitals ended in a crushing defeat in the Qing army. Zheng Chenggong's spy report in the Fujian officialdom that the three green camps that went to Fujian were almost wiped out, leaving only three commanders, their officers' regiments and their personal soldiers. The main forces were all killed by the Ming army, or it could be said that they were annihilated by the Qing army at Xianxia Pass.

With money and grain, it may not necessarily restore the old view. Zheng Chenggong felt that he could use this time difference to teach Geng Zhongming the dog traitor, how to be a good person for his son Geng Jimao.

However, the banquet that the Ming army in Fujian congratulated Chen Wen had not yet begun, and another more amazing news came, that was the old traitor. Shi Tingzhu, the veteran general of the Eight Banners of the Han army, was killed by the Ming army outside the Guangxin Mansion City. The Eight Banners of the Han army he brought with him, together with the Eight Banners of the Hangzhou garrison, were annihilated by Chen Wen outside the Jinhua Mansion City.

This news not only shocked the Qing court, but also shocked the Ming army in Fujian. Amid the cheers that echoed Zhongzuo, the King of Lu and the officials accompanying him could not even say a word. As for Zheng Chenggong, only Zheng Tai heard the sigh of "I am not as good as Chen Furen when fighting in the wild."

Zheng Chenggong's words were not completely unfounded. The eight banners of the Han army that Chen Wen defeated in three camps. Each Niulu was the "Chen Han Army" formed in the Huang Taiji era. In the Battle of Tong'an, Zheng Chenggong tied with a large number of widows and only the Geng family's vassal soldiers. Among them, there were only more than a thousand people attached to the banner during the Huang Taiji era, and the others were only incorporated after entering the pass, so the high and inferior judgment was made.

Zheng Tai knew Zheng Chenggong's temper very well and trusted that proud reliance. In history, it was not until the defeat of the Battle of Nanjing that Zheng Tai began to feel disappointed and secretly transferred more than 300,000 taels of silver to Japan just in case. At this time, he was still doing his best to prepare military supplies for Zheng Chenggong, without any intention.

However, now, Zheng Chenggong sighed like this, which really made Zheng Tai, who knew almost nothing about military affairs, feel a lot of respect and curiosity for Chen Wen.

"Marquis Anyuan won consecutive battles and has long been praised as a famous general of the country. I am ashamed of him." After that, Zheng Tai changed his mind. "We both armies are ministers of the Emperor Ming Emperor, and they are all fighting against the Tartars in this southeast. We should have been very close. If Marquis Anyuan didn't mind, it would be better to be like brothers."

Zheng Tai is the God of Wealth of the Zheng Group. Chen Wen had long planned to trade with the Zheng family. Zheng Tai arrived here in person, and I think this must have happened. Of course, if there was no such great victory, the Zheng family might not have been so anxious to send such an important person up.

"I really want to ask for it."

At present, Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong, the only one in the Southeast Ming army had the possibility of turning the situation around. Both sides had plans for cooperation, and a short sentence of this period brought them closer together. Next, Chen Wen and Zheng Tai directly began to exchange views on the current situation and some of the achievements made by the Ming army in Zhejiang and Ming army in Fujian in the past two years. The people were carrying people in the sedan chair, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that Chen Wen suspected that he was in the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Taichu's first day of arrival ended with praise, and it was not until the next day that the main topic of this came. "Brother Yu is here to communicate with each other and not know whether the two armies had mentioned earlier. I don't know if you still remember it."

When talking about business, skills are very important, but sincerity is the top priority. The cooperation between Chen Wen and Zheng Chenggong will not be a one-time deal. Chen Wen does not intend to do this, and Zheng Chenggong does not intend to do this. What we are talking about here is the general tone and the first batch of transactions.

"This is happening."

"I wonder what goods are there for sale by my brother, and what goods are you planning to buy?"

Zheng Tai went straight to the point, and Chen Wen didn't plan to take any more turns and explained it directly to Zheng Tai.

Among the goods mentioned by Chen Wen, such as raw silk, silk cocoons, cloth, silk, and even porcelain, these are indispensable goods in the sea trade. However, now Zheng Tai is no longer the godson who managed the sea trade for Zheng Zhilong, but the God of Wealth of the Zheng Group and Zheng Chenggong's army. Except for cloth, everything else can only be used for resale. Although the value is not low, it is far less attractive than other things.

"You are not planning to sell food, weapons and armor? Brother Yu remembers that there are a lot of land in Jinhua and Quzhou. You are always a little rich in battles and weapons and armor."

Zheng Tai said frankly that he would tell Chen Wen what the Fujian Ming Army needed. Although he exposed his trump card too early, it also added Chen Wen's favor. Even Chen Wen had realized that this intention did not feel any disgusting.

"To be honest, my army has now exceeded 20,000 soldiers, and the army consumes a huge amount of food, so the food cannot be sold."

Twenty thousand?

This number is far lower than Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Tai's estimate. In their opinion, it would take 40,000 to 50,000 to support it from the heavy encirclement. Although Zheng Tai dared not believe this number, he immediately became more shocked when he saw that Chen Wen was not fake.

"Where are the armor and weapons?"

Food, armor and weapons were what Zheng Chenggong's army needed the most. Chen Wen saw these clearly through history. He seized a lot of weapons, but armor was far from enough. He could not have planned to exchange these things that were not rich in his family for money.

"In terms of weapons, due to different tactics in my army, some of the seized weapons can be sold. As for armor, it is not enough to be captured for the army, so I can't help it."

Historically, many of the needs of Zheng Chenggong's army were imported from Japan, such as weapons and raw materials, and many things were purchased through maritime trade and tolls collected in the Taiwan Strait. With these, the army of more than 100,000 people during the Battle of Nanjing was formed step by step, which can be regarded as unprecedented.

Although the army can produce rattan armor, Zheng Chenggong still has a great desire for iron armor. Perhaps it can be said that it is precisely because of the lack of iron armor in his army that it is replaced by rattan armor. However, iron armor itself is a heavy weapon in the military, and Japan itself does not have much, let alone sell it with the Fujian Ming army. Therefore, the basic armor of the Fujian Ming army has always been rattan armor. The Iron Man Army formed by Zheng Chenggong later was built by saving frugality in those years, and was specially used for the elite heavy infantry force, because Zheng Chenggong hoped to use this to restrain the Qing cavalry, and he did it in the Battle of Nanjing.

Chen Wen is not sure whether Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man Army's idea has taken shape now, but even with the idea, he is only enough for his own use now. He has to save some and have to wait for the expansion of his army, otherwise he will not have the idea of ​​returning.
