After giving Zhou Jing, who had a gray face, a sharp look, Chen Kan couldn't help but slap Zhu Jixing's face with a scabbard.
"Come here, throw Zhu Jixi into the imperial mausoleum, Huang Gou'er, count the battle losses."
Chen Kan was not in the mood to look at the half-dead Zhu Jixi, so he gave a cold order, and the yellow dog left!
Zhu Jihuang approached Chen Kan with lingering fear, patted his chest, glared at Zhou Jing and said, "Damn it, Old Zhou, what did you do?"
Zhou Jing's face became paler and she pursed her lips, but it only turned into a long sigh.
Who would have thought that Zhu Jixi would be reduced to this situation, and there would be soldiers in the army willing to risk their lives for him.
Chen Kan looked at Zhou Jing and sighed: "No one thought that Zhu Jixi had such a back-up plan. I will report this matter to Your Majesty truthfully. As for how His Majesty handles it, it is beyond my control."
Zhou Jing glanced at Chen Kan with some gratitude. He knew Jin Yiwei's virtue. Chen Kan's ability to report truthfully without fabricating charges would be the greatest help to him.
"Sir, one hundred and thirty-one members of the Jinyiwei were killed in the battle, including one person from a hundred households, six general bannermen, thirteen minor bannermen, one hundred and twenty-one school lieutenants, sixteen seriously wounded, and thirty lightly wounded. "
Huang Gou'er quickly tallied up the statistics of battle losses, but only those of Jin Yiwei.
After hearing the amount reported by Huang Gouer, Chen Kan closed his eyes to calm down the anger in his heart, and then made up his mind to try to kill Zhu Jixi.
Because of him alone, nearly 3,000 people from both sides were killed.
It would be too easy for him to just guard the imperial mausoleum and try to get through.
There should be an explanation for so many human lives.
"Compile the household registration and names of the brothers who died in the battle, cremate their remains, and take their ashes back to the capital."
After giving a faint order, Chen Kan did not look at Zhu Jihuang and Zhou Jing again. After such a thing happened, Chen Kan had no intention of entering Taiyuan City to gain some benefits.
While Fang Xu was leading people to find firewood, Chen Kan waved to Huang Gou'er.
"Have all the treasures of King Jin been transported back?"
Huang Gou'er looked at Zhou Jing and Zhu Jihuang on the side, with a look of embarrassment in his eyes.
"It's okay, tell me, how many are there?"
Seeing that Chen Kan didn't care about the presence of outsiders, Huang Gouer no longer had any worries.
He cupped his hands and said: "Back to your lord, the brothers are already on their way back to the capital. Among them, there are about 12,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, and other treasures. The total number is about 200,000 taels. According to your instructions, your Excellency , the brothers took 70% of it."
Huang Gou'er is still very good at doing things. At least so far, he has done everything Chen Kan has asked him to do very beautifully.
In addition, it was he who was the first to discover the difference between the rebels and the Jin vassal soldiers, which can be regarded as a great contribution.
Chen Kan wanted to make great use of him.
Just how to use it, Chen Kan was a little uncertain for a while. The vacancy of the hundred households who died in the battle made him waver between Huang Gouer and Fang Xu.
The main issue is seniority. Fang Xu himself is the chief flag officer. If he moves up one level, he will be a hundred households, and he can convince the public.
And Huang Gou'er is just an ordinary captain in Jinyi. If he is promoted to a hundred households rashly, I'm afraid many people will be dissatisfied.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan had an idea in his mind and said calmly: "Okay, give 10,000 taels to the brothers who died in the battle, and then give 10,000 taels as rewards to other brothers. The rest, go to work first, and go After that, you will be responsible for the finance and logistics of my subordinates."
Chen Kan decided to give the vacancy for one hundred households to Fang Xu. As for Huang Gouer, he temporarily left the logistics to him.
If there is no problem in terms of ability, there are still six vacancies for the chief flag officer. Let him be the chief flag officer first. After all the people under his command are used to it, we can then find a way to replace a hundred households.
After experiencing so many things, Chen Kan deeply realized that he must have the power that he can absolutely control.
In other words, to put it bluntly, this is called cultivating party members!
Huang Gou'er naturally didn't know how high his status was in Chen Kan's mind, but just by handing over the financial power of the entire Qianhu Office to him, he felt a great sense of trust.
Immediately, he slapped his chest loudly and responded excitedly: "Thank you for your trust, sir. I will never give up even if I die."
After patting Huang Gou'er on the shoulder, Chen Kan came to the pile of firewood where the corpses had been stacked, and frowned tightly as he looked at some of the Jinyi captains above who were still staring at death.
Because of his own negligence, more than a hundred lives were left here forever, which made Chen Kan feel extremely uncomfortable.
I did so many tricks in the capital just because I didn't want too much bloodshed to happen.
But now, the only thing he can do is to provide more pensions to their families.
Looking back at the royal tomb with the door closed, a trace of hatred flashed in Chen Kan's eyes, Zhu Jixi must die!
Chen Kan took the torch handed over by Huang Gou'er and threw it on the pile of firewood expressionlessly. In an instant, thick smoke billowed from the pile of firewood soaked in kerosene.
Zhou Jing came to Chen Kan's side with a complicated expression, and wanted to say something, but in the end she just bowed her hands towards Chen Kan and rushed to finish.
Zhu Jihuang came to Chen Kan's side, slapped Chen Kan on the shoulder, and said carelessly: "Didn't a few people die? Zhou Jing is going to be unlucky, so don't follow him. Go to my palace and ask for help." I will give you as many people as you want."
Chen Kan turned his head and looked at Zhu Jihuang expressionlessly. Zhu Jihuang was a little frightened by his look. He took off his palm angrily, and then muttered: "What a look, just forget about it."
"Go, why don't you go? The prince respects the official, how can the official refute the prince's face?"
Chen Kan laughed because he suddenly realized that if he wanted to kill Zhu Jixi, he might not have to do it himself.
Isn't there a good candidate right in front of me?
"Um?"
Zhu Jihuang was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He was a idiot, but he was not a fool.
Once the two vassals of Jinning and Ning are gone, it is a foregone conclusion that the vassal kings will be weak, and the court can do whatever they want. So what is the biggest weakness of these Anle princes now?
There is no one in the court!
Although Chen Kan is not a member of the court, he is a royal guard, a personal soldier of the emperor, and a close official of the emperor!
If he can have a good relationship with Chen Kan, his title as King of Jin will be guaranteed!
As for the three guards of the Jin Dynasty, that is not important and he does not need them. What he needs is glory and wealth.
"Then...I, the king, will go back to the palace to prepare. You can finish your work and come with your people later. You must come."
Zhu Jihuang rubbed his hands with a lewd smile on his face.
He knew very well that Chen Kan would not go with him as long as Zhou Jing was there, so what he just said about being prepared with a little wine was simply a polite comment.
But who could have expected that something like this would happen to Zhou Jing?
