One Su Li fell, and the wreckage was devoured by Chen Kai and Huang Yingjie respectively. It is about to be the first month of the sixth year of Yongli, and it is unlikely that the Qing army will attack immediately, after all, they also have to investigate the situation before making a decision.

At this stage, Chen Kai's main opponent is still Hao Shangjiu, and the southern front is nothing more than changing from Su Li to Huang Yingjie, the opponent's strength is less, but the combat effectiveness is stronger, and it is almost impossible for the Ming army to copy the method of dealing with Su Li on Huang Yingjie's body. The struggle between the two sides is just a temporary end, that's all.

Digesting the newly recovered areas is now a top priority. After the war, Chen Kai opened a porridge field for a few days, and instilled the concept of the Ming army as a royal teacher to the local people, and at the same time attracted many local gentry and invited them to become officials.

For Su Li, a bandit, they are dissatisfied, Su Li was killed to celebrate, but for the Ming army, they are not very optimistic, especially once they think of Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, once they think of the Eight Banners Army, their thoughts immediately turned into fear.

There are not many people who are willing to go out, and the side branches of the big clans and some poor scholars are like this. However, Chen Kai was not picky, and immediately appointed a group of officials to come out, so that they could temporarily calm the hearts of the Ming army. As for the future, when things can be temporarily stabilized in Chaozhou, it is not too late to make adjustments.

The line from Huilai County to Luohe was the newly recovered territory of the Ming army, where Chen Kai gathered heavy troops and carried out the necessary screening of the captured Su Li's corporal soldiers, and found that some of them were forcibly conscripted into the camp and had no bad deeds and returned to the people, and the others were all put into a new unit of militarized management called the labor reform camp.

A total of twenty such battalions were established, with 200 people as a unit, and Chen Kai Xingwen transferred a large number of government and county officials to act as supervisors. Their first task was to repair the damaged city walls and enemy towers caused by the battle, and to dredge the moat, which may take some time for them, because the Jieshi Acropolis and Huilai County are damaged to varying degrees, especially the dredging of the moat in Huilai County and the reconstruction of the county school, which will inevitably increase the task burden of the work.

Whether the burden is heavy or not, Chen Kai will not take it to heart. When the supervisors arrived, those officials naturally had the ability to conduct further screening, so as to assess the time for reform according to their respective crimes. When the time comes, with a deadline, you can make better use of this labor.

It wasn't until the end of the month that Huang Yingjie annexed the rest of Su Liliu in Haifeng County and Shengjie, and began to build military facilities in these two places to consolidate the city defense, and Chen Kai finally put his mind at ease.

Chen Kai entrusted the front-line defense to Du Hui, and he returned to the capital of Chaozhou with two standard battalions with the aftermath of the great victory.

Before Chen Kai came back, Ye Yiyun had already started to publicize the victory. In particular, the first level of Suli completed the display of the newly recovered area, and did not send it back to Chen Kai, but directly launched a tour exhibition in Chaozhou, especially in the three counties of Tuntian. At this moment, even those who were slightly skeptical at the beginning had to recognize the reality.

Chen Kai is back, in fact, some well-informed people in Chaozhou have actually gotten the news from the Zhongzuo Institute, but it has not yet spread. But with the Ming army's Lubu Feijie, everyone was surprised that the Ming army had annihilated Tukou Suli in one fell swoop under such internal and external troubles, and at the same time, the even greater shock was that Chen Kai, who had disappeared for more than half a year, actually came back!

"Unexpectedly, it would be Chen joining the army."

"Except for that Chen Joiner, it is estimated that no one will be able to calculate the giant Kou Suli to death so easily."

"Needless to say? However, it is no longer Chen joining the army, it is the Chen general system, the eastern Guangdong general system, and it is clear that he is here to sit in Chaozhou! ”

"The surname of the country invited Chen to join the army back at this time, wouldn't it be for us?"

“……”

Chaozhou City, the original stagger atmosphere, with the stone throwing, there are no waves on the water surface, but the inside is even rolled up a thousand layers of turbulence.

Speaking of which, the people Chen Kai killed were far from being able to compare with the number of people he had saved, not even a fraction of them. However, in the eyes of many people, this Buddha-like existence of the Wan family, but at the same time, he is also a fierce and cunning figure, like the Zhuge Wuhou in the mouth of the storyteller, who is committed to recovering the Han Dynasty, but can also use the cruel means of burning the rattan armor soldiers.

The high-minded talk of the tea shop and restaurant, the whispering of the study room, and the busy leisure in the fields, almost everyone in the entire Chaozhou Mansion, regardless of gender, old and young, are talking about the return of this legendary civil official. For a while, it seemed that even the dispute between the Turks and the Turks, which was still raging, was a little incomprehensible.

Shocked that Su Lina and other giants were wiped out by the Ming army in this way, everyone was speculating about the direction of Chen Kai's governance after his return, and there were joy, panic, luck, and anxiety about the solution to this Turk-guest dispute. The entire Chaozhou Mansion was eagerly waiting for Chen Kai to officially return to the Chaozhou Mansion, and for a while, even the local gentry who came to vent their dissatisfaction at every turn some time ago also cheekily came to the door to seek advice from Ye Yiyun and Chen Ding, who were inseparable from Chen Kai, in order to be able to learn Chen Kai's intentions in time.

Since the seizure of Chaozhou, Chen Kai's prestige in this land is no less than that of the country's surname. Now, Chen Kai is returning with the bloody wind and rain to exterminate Su Li, and its shocking power can be imagined.

The local people in Chaozhou are like this, and the people of Guangzhou are more of a peace of mind. Of course, the worry is not completely non-existent, the dispute between the Turks and the guest was so troubled earlier that even the official master was seriously injured, who knows if Chen Kai will kill a few first when he comes back.

In anticipation, Chen Kai returned to Chaozhou City. completed the handover with Ye Yiyun, and also got the news that Ye Yijun's body was gradually recovering.

"My brother was still saying a few days ago that if he had listened to the warning, he would not have been in today's disaster."

"Zaijiu, we are all clear-eyed people, and this thing is impossible to avoid."

Originally, when Chen Kai arrived in Chaozhou, Ye Yiyun should have returned to the Zhongzuo Institute, but Chen Kai was still running the attack on Su Li, so he continued to control the situation here. But now, once the handover is over, he really wants to leave this land that he has worked hard for several years, especially when he is transferred to another place when chaos breaks out during his tenure, Ye Yiyun's unwillingness in his heart is inevitable.

"The surname of the country said, before this incident broke out, Zaijiu had already done a good job in Chaozhou; After this incident, Zaijiu was not emotional, and he was completely open-minded, which was even rarer. I originally brought this thing, and Zaijiu has taken on the responsibility for me for so long, and now it's time for me to come back and take responsibility. ”

Sending ten miles out of the city, saying goodbye, sending Ye Yiyun away, Chen Kai summoned the local gentry, wealthy households, village elders, and Li Zheng to gather in the Yamen of Chaozhou Prefect. The flags and heads of Su Li's department were all displayed in front of their eyes, especially Su Li's head, his eyes were wide with anger, and from the moment he opened the brocade box, only the sound of heavy breathing remained in the lobby.

"Mr. Chen's clever plan to get rid of such a giant is really a blessing for the people of Chaozhou."

"Jukou Suli is the one who is in trouble, and it is all up to Master Chen to lead the king to eliminate harm for the people, and we are also inspired."

“……”

The son of the old gentleman who originally planned to marry his granddaughter to Chen Kai was the first to react, and the sound of praise and compliment immediately resounded in the hall.

However, in the tide of sycophants, the corner of Chen Kai's right mouth was slightly upturned, and there was no wave in his eyes, so he just looked at them. Gradually, the embarrassment began to overshadow the joy of those forced out, and the scene changed back to the state of breathing and smelling.

Just looking at the people present, their eyes seemed to have a piercing power that penetrated the hair and skin and reached people's hearts, and everyone became overwhelmed under Chen Kai's gaze.

In the silent lobby, the air seemed to be rapidly condensing, and the afterglow glanced outside the courtyard, and it was not the officials who stood straight, but a group of standard camp Ming soldiers, the cold light on the weapons flickered, and the fear in the chest was even worse. Looking back, and looking at the crowd as they were, it was all the same. And Chen Kai's gaze is still like a needle, as long as it touches it slightly, it will immediately be pierced and withdrawn from sight.

Beads of sweat gradually condensed on the surface of the skin, so wet and cold that people always wanted to wipe it, but no one dared to make a move. Several of the gentry had already begun to make eye contact, but no one dared to speak easily. I don't know how long this scene lasted, until Chen Kai picked up the tea cup on the case, it finally came to an end, but it also pushed this sense of oppression to the extreme.

"Su Li has been able to run rampant so far, but he has caught up with the national surname and the official and can't take care of him for the time being, otherwise he is just like Wu Liuqi and Xu Long, which is really not worth mentioning. The matter in Chaozhou seemed to be dangerous in the first few months, but whether it was Hao Shangjiu or Su Li, it was only a minor scabies. The real calamity is inside, not outside! ”
