Chapter 352: Liaodong Changes
Chen Kan has not sent many recitals to Beijing these days, and Yang Shiqi quickly handed a few recitals to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di has already reviewed these twists and turns.
Yang Shiqi was a little curious, why did Zhu Di want to read the recital that had been reviewed again, and he also named Chen Kan by name.
It's a pity that Zhu Di didn't mean to explain to him, but began to carefully read these twists and turns that had been dealt with a long time ago.
Soon, Zhu Di saw what he wanted to see in the fold.
It was a letter from two months ago, and the content of the note was also very simple, asking the Ministry of War to allocate 1,000 armor and 1,000 swords to Beijing.
At that time, Zhu Di didn't care, and seeing that Chen Kan didn't want much, he directly agreed.
But now it seems that these thousand armors and a thousand swords are likely to set off a bloody storm in Liaodong.
Yes, what Chen Kan can think of, Zhu Di can also think of.
The reason why I didn't expect it before was because the internal affairs of Daming had not been straightened out, and besides, Daming, as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, naturally did not need to fight the idea of those small countries.
But now that this opening has been torn by Chen Kan, Zhu Di keenly found that perhaps Daming's investment may be rewarded unimaginably.
Therefore, Zhu Di was tempted.
Putting down the folds, Zhu Di took out the map of the Ming Dynasty and stared at the large land in Liaodong.
The land in eastern Liaodong is fertile, and it is naturally clear that Zhu Di has been on the border in Beijing for many years.
It's just that Liaodong was in the land of four wars in the past, so the land was deserted.
But now, if Chen Kan's poisonous plan to kill people with a knife can succeed, then he will start to think about immigrating to Liaodong to reclaim the wasteland.
Then, Zhu Di also began to pick up the pen and enclose the land on the map.
If Chen Kan were here, he would definitely find that the territory circled by Zhu Di was almost exactly the same as what he drew on the map.
Looking at the red line outlined on the map, Zhu Di took the globe and compared it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook an arc.
Now it seems that the matter of sending Chen Kan to Beijing was the right thing.
If he was left in Nanjing, Chen Kan's energy would only be focused on the struggle between all parties for the sake of fame and profit.
And he has only been in Beijing for half a year, and Chen Kan can give him such a big surprise.
In contrast, Zhu Di seems to have discovered the correct usage of Chen Kan.
After putting away the map and globe, Zhu Di shouted towards the door: "Someone come, pass the decree, and reward Jinghai Marquis Chen Kanxi Zhimen Mansion with a thousand taels of gold and a thousand horses of silk...... By the way, go and tell the Ministry of War that all the firearms produced by the Ordnance Superintendent these days will be sent to Chen Kan. β
Zhu Di spit out a lot of things in his mouth, and the little eunuch was terrified when he heard it.
These things are far beyond the specifications of the Marquis of Reward.
In the afternoon, the news of Zhu Di's reward for Chen Kan had already spread throughout the capital.
In the past six months, Jingshi has lost Chen Kan, and there has been a lot of fun.
And this is half a year after Chen Kan disappeared, Jingshi heard his name again.
Hearing the news, many officials and nobles couldn't help but be stunned.
They also thought that Chen Kan would travel far away to Beijing, and his traces in the court would gradually fade.
But I didn't expect His Majesty to be so kind to Chen Kan.
And after getting this news, the first to make a move was the Han Wangfu.
After getting the gift list that Zhu Di gave to Chen Kan, Zhu Gaoxu immediately drilled into the palace treasury, personally selected countless rare treasures, and then rewarded them to the Jinghai Marquis Mansion in the name of the Han Palace.
The second is the East Palace, Zhu Gaochi didn't do anything, but the new crown princess Zhang personally went to the treasury to pick out a carriage of treasures and sent them to Zhu Di's team to reward Chen Kan, but it was not publicized to the outside world like the Han Palace.
......
Of course, Chen Kan, who was far away in Beijing, didn't know that he would make a windfall after Yuanzheng.
At this time, he was pointing in the direction of Liaodong in the study and scolding.
"Rubbish, it's rubbish!"
"Damn, what a fool, how could I have thought of supporting such an idiot?"
Chen Kan is very angry now.
Because the news from Liaodong is not optimistic.
He really didn't expect that with his own support, the idiot Brother Suhan could still be beaten by Brother Meng's Timur.
Li Si, the guard standing at the door, looked at the mess in the study, and his face couldn't help twitching.
He also knew what happened, but he didn't expect this news to bring such a big stimulus to Hou Ye, and even Duan Yan, who he regarded as a treasure on weekdays, was willing to smash it on the ground.
If you want to say why you are angry today, the reason is actually very simple.
After getting the 1,000 armors and 1,000 swords sponsored by Chen Kan, Brother Suhan sneaked back to the deep mountains and forests of Liaodong.
And found his mother Donghai Jurchen for the first time.
At first, the plan went well, and Brother Suhan succeeded in arming an army loyal to him among the Jurchens in the East China Sea.
But at this time, Brother Meng's fast luck didn't know what kind of wind he had, and he actually told his childhood sweetheart's cousin, that is, his original fiancΓ©e, the current mother of the Jianzhou Jurchen clan.
Maybe this idiot is still dreaming of reuniting with his cousin.
Then, his childhood sweetheart's cousin revealed the news to his fierce brother Timur without accident.
After learning the news, Brother Meng's Timur did not hesitate to attack the Jurchens in the East China Sea, and Brother Meng's Suhan was exposed, and in a hurry, he lost a large number of backbones.
Brother Suhan once again became a lost dog.
After venting for a long time, Chen Kan's anger finally dissipated a little.
Now that the wood has become irretrievable, Brother Meng's rapid defeat and retreat from the Great Xing'an Mountains has become an established fact that cannot be changed.
Glancing at the distress letter sent by Brother Suhan again, Chen Kan couldn't wait to rush to the Great Xing'an Mountains to find him and slap him twice.
By the way, I ridiculed him again.
It's a pity that Chen Kan doesn't have wings.
The anger gradually subsided, and Chen Kan had to start thinking about rescuing Brother Meng's Suhan.
Brother Meng Suhan is a thug who Chen Kan single-handedly supported and is ready to devour the peninsula and the Wa Kingdom, and now he can't die.
But how to save it is another difficult problem.
Liaodong is now a scene of ice and snow, the army can't go to Liaodong at all, and Chen Kan can't really send a large army to sweep Liaodong.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan had an idea.
"Go and call Cheng Feng to see me!"
When Li Si took the order and left, the trembling maid who was hiding outside the door finally dared to enter the door to clean up the mess.
It was the first time in all these years that they had seen this kind and amiable Hou Ye get so angry.
Heavy snow can hinder the communication between ordinary people, but it cannot hinder the voice of power.
In less than two hours, Li Si and Cheng Feng appeared in front of Chen Kan with a body of dust.
"Master Hou, are you looking for me?"
Cheng Feng looked at Chen Kan with curiosity on his face.
When he came, he had already heard Li Si tell him what had happened, so he could guess what Chen Kan was looking for him to do now.
Chen Kan nodded: "Li Si told you about Liaodong, right?" β
Cheng Feng's face showed a look of understanding, and then he arched his hand and said, "Master Hou wants to take a trip to Liaodong at the end?" β
"Yes, how many people do you need?"
Chen Kan did not hide it, for now, Cheng Feng is the only one who can make Chen Kan completely relieved and have the ability to run rampant in Liaodong.
Cheng Feng thought for a while, and responded: "Then it depends on how far the Hou Ye wants to go, if he just helps the fool of Brother Suhan to reverse the unfavorable situation, the last general only needs fifty warriors who can fight well, fifty firearms, and a hundred war horses." β
Chen Kan frowned: "What if Ben Hou wants you to cooperate with him to muddy the troubled waters of Liaodong in the shortest possible time?" β
"Then double it!"
Cheng Feng has absolute confidence in himself, a hundred Ming Tiger Ben, he is sure to turn Liaodong upside down.
Chen Kan still had some doubts: "The heavy snow in Liaodong is not as good as Beijing, are you sure that a hundred people in the ice and snow are enough?" β
Cheng Feng showed a confident smile on his face: "Master Hou, the last general is a northerner, he has been accustomed to ice and snow since he was a child, besides, the ice and snow affect our combat power, and also affect the enemy's combat power. β
Chen Kan understands the reason, and Chen Kan also knows very well that in such a situation, a special operations force is more effective than the direct deployment of the army.
But Chen Kan didn't want to have an accident.
After pondering for a while, Chen Kan said, "I'll give you a hundred people, a hundred fire guns, a hundred short guns, and three hundred war horses, and set off immediately." β
"Order!"
Cheng Feng licked the corners of his lips, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.
Since following Zheng He to the south, he, a fierce general in the north, has no use.
And now, here's your chance!
Cheng Feng led a white team to hide in the snow.
Chen Kan retracted his gaze, looked at the missing corner of the inkstone on the table, and couldn't help but feel a little pain.
I knew that I would have asked the people in the house to prepare some inferior porcelain or pottery in advance, and it would not hurt to smash it.
The entire Hou Mansion was revolving around Chen Kan's mood.
When Chen Kan was unhappy, the Hou Mansion looked lifeless.
Chen Kan's state returned to normal, and the Hou Mansion came back to life in an instant.
The subordinates chattered and guessed the reason why Hou Ye was angry, and peeked at Chen Kan from time to time.
Chen Kancai didn't bother to pay attention to them, thought about it, and instructed Li Si: "Prepare the car and go to Xu's mansion." β
Chen Kan planned to go and ask for a helper for Brother Meng, or a strategist.
Brother Meng's Suhan is a little clever, but this cleverness is not enough to support him to sweep Liaodong.
This time the incident is a living example.
Why does he think that the childhood sweetheart who has become the wife of the fierce brother Timur still has a deep love for him?
It is not difficult to find a strategist, and any civil official of good rank on the ground in Beijing can be competent.
The first candidate that came to Chen Kan's mind was Xu Su, the Bazhou magistrate who had a relationship on the Jinshui River that day.
