"A regular army of one thousand people!"
Meng Ge Suhan muttered to himself, and his chest suddenly became hot. From Chen Kan's words, he heard the possibility of revenge.
Seeing Brother Meng Suhan's breathing suddenly become heavy, Chen Kan smiled and said, "I heard that the Jurchens are all born warriors. Don't let me down."
Meng Ge Suhan looked at Chen Kan with eyes full of gratitude: "The general's great kindness to me will be unforgettable by me. If I make any progress in this life, I will be driven by the general. It goes against this principle." It’s said that heaven and man share this urgent need!”
To be honest, Meng Ge Suhan wants to kneel down to Chen Kan again.
Chen Kan smiled and helped him up: "In this case, I will let Cheng Feng take your place temporarily. If you are still willing to return to my command in the future, I will leave a better position for you."
"Got the order!"
What Meng Ge Suhan was worried about finally happened, but at this moment, there was no dissatisfaction in his heart. Instead, he was full of gratitude to the young man in front of him.
If it weren't for him, he would never have been able to fight against that terrifying brother in this life.
But now, everything is different.
The armor and weapons that can arm a thousand people are enough for him to raise an army of five thousand people in the old forest.
Five thousand people. The total number of Jurchen soldiers in Jianzhou was only five thousand.
As for the Jurchens, wherever they have weapons and armor, even their arrowheads are made of wolf fangs.
"My good brother, your biological brother is coming back, enjoy the fear I bring to you!"
Meng Ge Suhan's expression was ferocious for a moment, but when he saw Chen Kan again, it had been replaced by flattery.
Chen Kan looked at Cheng Feng and shouted: "Cheng Feng!"
Cheng Feng took a step forward and held up his hands: "The end will be here!"
"After that, you will take over the title of Meng Ge Suhan, and I will give you three thousand battalions of cavalry to train. If you can't train a strong cavalry for me, you can wipe your neck yourself!"
"Got the order!"
Chen Kan had nothing to say about Cheng Feng.
As we all know, Chen Kan has a worse attitude towards people who are closer to him.
Cheng Feng had nothing to say. The Ming Dynasty's cavalry was already the strongest cavalry in the world, let alone elites like the Three Thousand Battalions. Only training such elites would be more interesting.
Zhou Shi and the five thousand households under his command were a little surprised to see Chen Kan elevate Cheng Feng to such a high position with just a few words.
Before this, they never thought that Meng Ge Suhan would be captured by Chen Kan in a few words.
But... the deal is done and they have nothing to say.
What's more, the position Cheng Feng took was not theirs.
Si Guo and Yu Zhong did not expect that the Marquis, whom they met for the first time, would be so powerful. Just coming to the military camp for the first time would drastically change the original structure of the Three Thousand Battalion.
At this moment, both of them looked at Chen Kan with a touch of admiration in their eyes.
There is no real person under the great reputation.
The two of them could only sigh in their hearts.
"Okay, it's time to go back now."
Chen Kan snapped his fingers and slowly walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back.
Anyway, he didn't have the consciousness to eat and live with the soldiers.
Watching Chen Kan go away, the people in the tent looked at each other in confusion. Just as Meng Ge Suhan was about to speak, one of Chen Kan's personal guards stepped forward and pulled him out of the tent.
Now, everyone was even more surprised.
They really didn't understand why the Marquis valued a Jurchen so highly.
After a while, Si Guo and Yu Zhong looked deeply at Zhou Shi and the five thousand households, and then walked out of the big tent without saying a word.
Zhou Shi originally wanted to persuade Chen Kan to keep him in the army, but when he thought of the delicious food he had eaten in the Hou Mansion, he suddenly lost the courage to speak.
After being silent for a long time, Zhou Shi looked at the five backbones in front of him and said calmly: "From now on, I don't want to hear any news in the army against the Marquis or the people around him. You should take care of yourself."
Zhou Shi's warning was so obvious that the expressions of the five people suddenly changed.
But considering Chen Kan's skills today, they had to accept the existence of Fang Xu and Cheng Feng.
If they accept Cheng Feng and Fang Xu, they can still maintain their current position. If they don't accept them, they may become the second fierce brother Suhan.
They can still figure out what is light and what is heavy.
...
...
Chen Kan came to the carriage, and Zhang San complimented with admiration on his face: "Master Marquis, you are like this today."
Looking at Zhang San's thumbs up, Chen Kan smiled and said nothing.
Today he resigned from Meng Ge Suhan's position as a hundred households. His purpose was not to establish his authority, but because he really wanted to raise a good thug.
As for establishing his authority, helping Cheng Feng remove obstacles to his promotion was just incidental.
When they returned to the Hou Mansion with a group of personal guards, the sky was already darkening.
When he walked into the door, Chen Kan suddenly turned to look at Zhang San who looked expectant and asked: "Is there anything else you want?"
Hearing this, Zhang San's face fell instantly: "Master Hou, you said so."
Chen Kan's expression was serious: "What did I say?"
"You said you wanted me to go to the frontier army for training. You won't keep your word, right?"
Zhang San was anxious because he could see from Chen Kan's expression that Chen Kan really seemed to have a tendency to deny his credit.
"Is this the prince's mansion that makes you feel like a thorn in your back?"
Chen Kan imitated Zhu Di and asked gloomily.
But my heart felt so happy.
No wonder Zhu Di likes the yin and yang of others so much. It's really satisfying to watch others suffer while being unable to do anything about it.
Zhang San's expression of being angry but afraid to speak successfully satisfied Chen Kan's bad taste.
Leaving Zhang San behind, Chen Kan walked straight into the study.
Zhang San was going to the frontier army to practice. Chen Kan was too late to be happy, so how could he stop him.
The behavior just now was just to tease him.
I took a piece of rice paper, swiped it a few times, and a recommendation letter appeared on the paper.
Now the guard of Datong Mansion is Zhu Di's close confidant Wu Gao, Marquis of Jiangyin.
In the first year of Yongle, Wu Gao was ordered to guard Datong, Shanxi. "Defend against barbarian invaders and control the guards in Shanxi's capital."
This move can be seen as the beginning of Datong becoming one of the nine important towns in the Ming Dynasty that was later formed.
During the reign of Renzong, Zheng Heng, Marquis of Wu'an, was appointed as the general before the expedition to the west.
He led the army to garrison in Datong, strengthened the defense, and solved Datong's border troubles, completely establishing Datong's status as an important nine-border town.
Therefore, letting Zhang San go to Datong was a decision made by Chen Kan after careful consideration.
Only in Datong could Zhang San rely on the big tree of the Hou Mansion to grow rapidly.
After calling a maid and ordering her to send a letter of recommendation to Zhang San, Chen Kan closed the door to his study, took out a map and began to meditate.
The map is the current border defense map of the Ming Dynasty. On this map, many territories that originally belonged to China in later generations are still outside the Ming Dynasty.
The most conspicuous among them are the empty grasslands and millions of square kilometers of land in Liaodong and the deserts of the Western Regions.
After pondering for a long time, Chen Kan took out his pen and added color to the gray and white Annan corner.
This means that Annan was officially included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Looking at the large blank space next to Annan, Chen Kan clicked a little black on the location of Thang Long City, the capital of Annan.
Black represents the Ming army.
Next to Annan, the names of several other small countries are so dazzling, such as Chenla, Siam, Champa, and Manraka on the southern island.
Taking his eyes away from the Southeast Asian peninsula, Chen Kan couldn't help but frown, because the several small countries next to Annan were all small countries that were classified as non-conquest countries when Taizu was in power.
"If I had known earlier, I would have told Zhu Neng and Mu Sheng not to kill Chen Tianping."
After muttering to himself, Chen Kan looked towards Liaodong.
At this time, Timur, the fierce brother, had not submitted a letter to request for inclusion, so the large areas of land in Liaodong were still the pastures of Jurchen, Uliangha, and North Korea.
Among them, the three guards of Wuliangha can only rely on the Ming Dynasty, so they do not pose much of a threat.
The reason why Chen Kan chose to support the Jurchens was certainly not because of his kindness.
His real goal was the Korean Peninsula in the southeast of Liao Dynasty, and the Japanese country less than a hundred kilometers away from the peninsula.
After finally traveling back to the Ming Dynasty from later generations, how could Chen Kan not have any thoughts about these two countries?
Let’s not talk about Bangzi for a moment. The harm caused to future generations of Chinese people in their childhood is very painful. The numerous crimes they committed are too numerous to list.
If Chen Kan didn't completely destroy their country and exterminate their species, then this time travel would be in vain.
It's just that these two countries are also among the fifteen countries designated by Taizu. Chen Kan had no choice but to risk the world and cross the ocean in person.
This was why they had no choice but to train Jurchens as thugs to kill people with a borrowed knife.
It was also because of this reason that I regretted the death of Chen Tianping.
If Chen Tianping was kept as a puppet and secretly supported him to unify the Southeast Asian peninsula, Ming Dynasty could destroy Annan under the banner of revenge for the vassal state, which would not be considered a violation of the ancestral system.
But now that Chen Tianping is dead, Chen Kan has no choice but to make other plans.
Who to choose?
Chen Kan rubbed his chin and looked back and forth between Liaodong and Southeast Asia.
It is impossible for the Jurchens, they cannot hit that far, and the Jurchens are very afraid of the heat. If they go near the equator, they will lose their combat effectiveness.
"If we drive Xiaoli to the Southeast Asian peninsula and use a strategy to drive away tigers and devour wolves, I don't know if it will work?"
Chen Kan held up his pen and connected a line between Liaodong, Japan, and the Southeast Asian Peninsula.
Then he shook his head and said to himself: "The span is too big. Besides, Xiaoli may not be the opponent of those monkeys."
Chen Kan's eyes continued to move southward, all the way to the vicinity of Malacca in the Strait of Malacca, and then a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Manchuria is a powerful country in Southeast Asia, controlling almost the entire Southeast Asia island group, from the Southeast Asian peninsula in the north to Indonesia in the south.
Historically, after Zheng He's voyages to the West, this country was frightened by the Ming Dynasty's powerful fleet and submitted a petition to surrender. Zhu Di set up the Old Port Xuanwei Department near Malacca.
To the west of Manchuria, there is another country called Sumatra, which was destroyed by Zheng He in history.
"Zheng He, the South depends on you!"
Thinking of those records in history, Chen Kan suddenly had an idea and immediately took the rice paper to prepare a letter for Zheng He.
