First, it is to clear out the unstable factors in the rear.

Second, it may be for military training.

Just when everyone was discussing how to deal with the officers and soldiers who entered the mountain to encircle and suppress, Chen Yan suddenly said.

"The imperial court is going to send troops north, cooperate with the Jurchens in Liaodong, and attack the Liao State on both sides."

In an instant, the entire council hall fell into absolute silence, and one after another eyes converged on Chen Yan beside Liu Yunzhi.

"Chen Yan, what did you say?"

Liu Yunzhi was the first to react and turned his head to ask.

"No, boy, are you talking nonsense, what does the official army have to do with the Jin and Liao people in the north when they enter the mountains to suppress bandits?"

Wen Haisheng was the first to speak and mocked.

"Hahahaha...... Don't joke, boy, don't talk about the topic, we're discussing how to deal with the court's encirclement and suppression. ”

"That's it, if the kid doesn't understand, stand obediently and don't speak."

“……”

The rest of the people also echoed and said in a very unkind tone to Chen.

But Liu Yunzhi waved his hand and signaled everyone to shut up.

"Chen Yan, why did you say this? Is there any basis for this? ”

Chen Yan nodded.

"The Jurchen tribe in the north originally belonged to the vassals of the Liao State, and Yu Zhenghe raised an army against the Liao in four years, and the founding name was Jin, and the Liao people who fought in just a few years lost their cities and lost a large amount of territory."

"Huanglong Mansion, Liaoyang Mansion in Liaodong, Shangjing Linhuang Mansion and other places were all conquered by the Jin people, and the Liao State lost the entire Liaodong, and it seems that it is about to fail, and the imperial court is preparing to subdue the sixteen states of Yanyun and the line of the Great Wall, which does not seem to be an incomprehensible thing."

"In addition, over the years, the imperial army has been repeatedly defeated in the face of the Liao people, leaving the fortified city, and the army does not dare to face the Liao army, so I conclude that the imperial court is uniting the Jurchens in the north and wants to plot against the sixteen states of Yanyun."

Liu Yunzhi nodded again and again when he listened, and his heart was full of thoughts.

Chen Yan's overall view is really not comparable to the bandit leaders of these villages, and he is worthy of marrying his daughter to him.

"No, does this have anything to do with the official army going into the mountains to suppress bandits?"

Wen Haisheng frowned and looked at Chen Yan and said.

"Of course it does."

This time, it was not Chen Yan who spoke, but Liu Yunzhi.

"Lao Wen, have you ever heard a saying that if you go outside, you must first settle inside?"

Liu Yunzhi looked at Wen Haisheng and asked rhetorically, his tone was a little bad.

Wen Haisheng's little bit of caution is clear to him, but as far as Wen Haisheng's son who is like a waste of dim sum, can he compare with Chen Yan?

Apparently not!

What to do, what not to eat, what not to eat!

It couldn't be more appropriate to describe Wen Haisheng's son, Liu Yunzhi didn't think that Wen Haisheng's son could be worthy of his daughter.

Wen Haisheng opened his mouth, his face was a little ugly, but he couldn't speak!

The rest of the people also showed a sudden expression on their faces, and their eyes when they looked at Chen Yan changed one after another, from the appreciation of looking at a good-looking vase to being full of surprise and admiration.

They didn't understand why Liu Yunzhi wanted to marry his daughter to Chen Yan, but now they understand!

From such a thing as the official army entering the mountains to suppress bandits, they can see the general trend of the world, not to mention anything else, they don't have the ability to do this.

"Chen Yan, how sure are you about this matter? cough cough cough ......"

Liu Yunzhi asked, but as he spoke, he coughed heavily several times.

Without hesitation, Chen Yan stretched out two fingers, index finger and thumb.

Zhang Sanhu smacked his lips and said with some disgust.

"It's just two?"

Chen Yan: "......"

Chen Yan said angrily.

"It's eighty percent!"

Zhang Sanhu: "......"

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter to us whether the imperial court wants to go north to plot against Yanyun, what we are discussing now is how we should deal with the encirclement and suppression of the official army."

Liu Yunzhi interrupted the topic of deviation and brought the topic back to dealing with the encirclement and suppression of the official army.

The crowd began to talk about it.

Some say that they attacked at night, some said that they took the initiative to attack, some said that they attacked Anping County and disrupted the arrangement of the officials and troops, some said that they defended the cottage, and some said that they gave up the cottage and played hide and seek with the officials and soldiers in the mountains......

Anyway, Chen Yan brushed it off, and it felt like! Not very feasibility.

After a long time, it was almost noon, and the group had not yet discussed a feasible solution.

Liu Yunzhi coughed lightly, interrupted the noisy crowd, looked at Chen Yan, and asked tentatively.

"Chen Yan, do you have any way?"

Chen Yan blinked, nodded slightly, and said.

"Yes, but I need something."

"Okay, tell me what you need."

Liu Yunzhi said.

"Father-in-law, I need a group of people, I don't need strong men, those half-sized men will do."

"Give me some charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter as much as possible, and you need to prepare some clay pots, not too big a fist, the more the better."

Chen Yan talked eloquently, but the others looked confused.

Charcoal is used for fire, almost every household has it, and sulfur saltpeter is just a very common common medicinal material, which is not very precious.

It's just that they can't figure out what Chen Yan wants these things to do.

But Chen Yan knew that he was preparing to let firearms, a weapon of mass destruction, come out of the line in advance on the land of China.

It's very simple to make gunpowder, Chen Yan remembers the recipe, and it can be done easily.

When the time comes, put gunpowder mixed with some iron nails and gravel into a jar, and insert the lead, this is the simplest head gunpowder weapon to shake the sky.

Although it is simple, if the gunpowder formula is suitable and the charge is sufficient, the power is still considerable.

"Boy, don't make random demands, the property in the village is limited, and I can't let you mess around."

Wen Haisheng looked at Chen Yan coldly and said.

"Who knows what you're asking for these things for? Instead of wasting it on you, it is better to buy more weapons and arm more strong laborers. ”

Wen Hai was determined to target Chen Yan, he was responsible for going out to buy supplies, if he didn't cooperate, Chen Yan couldn't do anything about him.

Liu Yunzhi's face darkened instantly, he had just promised Chen Yan that he needed to talk to him, but he was opposed by Wen Haisheng.

Isn't Wen Haisheng slapping him in the face?!

"Haisheng! Chen Yan gave him whatever he wanted, and if he didn't have it in the stockade, he would go out and buy it. ”

Liu Yunzhi said in a somewhat aggravated tone.

"The big boss, forgive me for being difficult to obey, the property in the village is all exchanged for the life of the big guy, I don't allow this kid to come nonsense, wasting everyone's hard-earned money."

Wen Haisheng stiffened his neck and said, as Liu Yunzhi's health became worse and worse, he also became less and less interested in Liu Yunzhi.

The corners of Chen Yan's mouth twitched, yes, even the word hard-earned money came out!

Liu Yunzhi took a deep breath, his eyes instantly gloomy, and just as he opened his mouth to say something more, he was interrupted by Chen Yan.

"Father-in-law, in that case, let's give me a batch of manpower first, and I'll figure out the rest myself."

Chen Yan said with a smile, it seemed that there was no offense at all, Wen Haisheng took it to heart.

But in fact, in Chen Yan's heart, Wen Haisheng had already been sentenced to death!

The kind of !! that will kill him sooner or later

MMP, this old bastard has been targeting him since he walked into the council hall, he's sick!
