Guizhou, provincial capital.

The first thing Oboi did after taking office was to clean up the chieftains in Shuimi.

These chieftains led by An were not at all restless, and helped the Ming army attack and carry out destruction openly and secretly, which was very bad in nature.

Hong Chengchou asked Wu Sangui to send troops to suppress him before, but unfortunately, Wu Sangui didn't work hard and did not make any substantial progress.

Oboi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he will never allow anyone to wield his territory.

Even the local emperors - the chieftains, can't do it.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria won the world with their cavalry, and Obai dispatched various cavalry units to attack the Tusi villages.

But what surprised him was that because of the rugged mountains in Guizhou, the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry who rode like flying in the past were all like frost-beaten vegetable leaves.

These chieftains' villages are built in deep mountains, which are very easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Eight Banners soldiers finally climbed to the gate of the village, but because of the terrain, they could not attack for a while. They were shot by the chieftain soldiers in the village.

In this mountainous terrain, it is naturally impossible to transport cannons.

The traditional skills of the Eight Banners of Manchuria cannot be used even if they are riding and shooting.

On the contrary, local soldiers who are more familiar with the local terrain have a certain advantage.

What's more, they are fighting to defend their homes, and they are more imposing.

The Qing army could not capture it for a long time, and most of the momentum was extinguished.

Seeing this, Obai had to withdraw his troops.

The unfavorable journey made Oboi very angry.

After returning to the provincial capital, he started a fire at Hong Chengchou.

"Guizhou chieftains have become so arrogant. Why don't you beat them up early? Now that they are like this, do they still take the imperial court seriously?"

Faced with Oboi's incompetence and furiousness, Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "Mr. Ao has been very serious. The chieftain has been arrogant for a long time. This is something that happened in the previous dynasty. No matter how hard they beat it, it will be useless. They only believe in strength. Whoever has the strong strength will surrender to whom they submit."

This sentence completely choked Obai.

Hong Chengchou's meaning is very clear.

If you have the strength, shouldn’t you arrange these arrogant chieftains clearly? Why did you return in a defeat if you sent troops once?

If you really have the ability, don’t yell here, go and yell at the toast.

Although Hong Chengchou did not say it clearly, this is what it means.

How could Oboi not hear it?

But what Hong Chengchou said was indeed reasonable, and he could not refute it.

After being silent for a long time, Obai spoke again: "I will convince them sooner or later!"

"Mr. Ao, I heard that Wu Sangui has led his troops to Anlu. He wants to never interact with us."

Hong Chengchou is now completely disappointed with Wu Sangui, so he simply stepped on it so that he will never turn over.

It would be fine if Hong Chengchou mentioned Wu Sangui, but when Aobai mentioned Wu Sangui, he was so angry that he was so angry.

"I have already written to the emperor and impeached this guy. How can I be content with such a arrogant soldier if I don't arrest him?"

Hong Chengchou wanted this effect and continued to whistle, saying, "It's just that Anlu is still far away from Guizhou. Even if Lord Ao wants to catch him, I'm afraid Wu Sangui will run away in time when he hears the wind."

"I don't care about this much, I just don't like the one named Wu!"

Oboi waved his hand and said, "Don't persuade anyone, now there is me or not in Guizhou. Whoever advises me to be anxious!"

...

Shuangyu Island.

After Zheng Chenggong discussed with Zhang Huangyan, he had been working hard to absorb the remnants from the coast of Ningbo who were unwilling to be brutal ruled by the Qing army to the island.

First, they couldn't bear to watch their compatriots being bullied and ravaged by the Eastern Barbarians, and second, they did need some troops to replenish them.

The main force of the Ming army naval division must be stationed on the main island of Zhoushan, so that the navy troops stationed on Shuangyu will be limited.

Only by appropriately replenishing some of the troops can Shuangyu's defense be more stable.

Of course, if it were the remnants who were unwilling to join the army, Zheng Chenggong would not force it. They could rely on the sea to eat and make a living by fishing.

In addition, cleaning the port waterway, repairing houses and warehouses, and re-establishing the fort are all tasks.

Zheng Chenggong found that there was still a long way to go to restore Shuangyu Port to its prosperity during the Jiajing period.

Just after lunch that day, Zhang Huangyan came to Zheng Chenggong with great interest.

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

"Damu, guess who is here!"

Zheng Chenggong put down the teacup and smiled faintly: "Who can make Brother Cangshui so excited?"

"It's He Shouyi, the general officer of Siming Mountain. He actually brought his troops to the island!"

Zhang Huangyan was as excited as a child, with a very excited expression.

It turns out that Siming Mountain where He Shouyi is stationed is located in Ningbo Prefecture, and Shuangyu Island is across the sea from Dinghai County, Ningbo Prefecture.

It is indeed a bit too far for He Shouyi to go to Zhoushan Island, but it is very convenient to come to Shuangyu Island.

"Well, since that's the case, we have to treat it well."

The Ming army in Simingshan once raised food and grass to help Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan. Although the number is not too large, he still owe a favor.

"Where are they now?"

“Just outside the house!”

Zhang Huangyan smiled indifferently and said, "General He, come in."

He Shouyi strolled into the house after hearing the sound and saw a gentle and handsome man standing beside Zhang Huangyan. He thought to himself that it must be Zheng Chenggong.

He stepped forward a few steps, hugged his fists and said, "He Shouyi, the general of Siming Mountain, met with the Prince of Yanping, and met with Zhang Benbing."

"General He doesn't have to be too polite."

Zheng Chenggong looked at the man in front of him carefully.

With dark skin, a body full of tendons and tall figure, he is obviously a good player in the ranks.

"When the Prince of Yanping and Zhang Benbing came to Shuangyu Port, the brothers couldn't sit still. They clamored to follow me to Shuangyu Port to meet you with them. I had no choice but to lead them here, don't be surprised by them."

He Shouyi was honest and told him the reason directly.

"Haha, these brothers of General He are really in character."

Zheng Chenggong paused and said, "Where are they now?"

"Just wait outside the house."

Zheng Chenggong hurriedly said: "Call them in quickly."

He Shouyi shouted and said, "Did you hear it? Prince Yanping asked you all to come in!"

After a moment, four or five strong men walked into the house one after another, and rushed towards Zheng Chenggong, and Zhang Huangyan bowed his fists.

The two nodded to greet each other.

"Come here, pour wine for your robes!"

Zheng Chenggong was in a good mood and ordered loudly.

Nowadays, under the general trend of the world, fewer and fewer people are willing to do things for the Ming court.

A righteous man like He Shouyi who spontaneously resisted the Qing Dynasty and did not receive a salary of a single penny in the court was even hard to come by.

Zheng Chenggong met today, so he naturally had to get together and have a chat.
