Chen Kan had not sent many memorials to Beijing these days, and Yang Shiqi quickly handed several memorials to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di had already reviewed these memorials.
Yang Shiqi was a little curious as to why Zhu Di wanted to read the already approved memorial again, and why he wanted to see Chen Kan by name.
Unfortunately, Zhu Di had no intention of explaining to him, but began to carefully read through these memorials that had been processed long ago.
Soon, Zhu Di saw what he wanted to see in the memorial.
It was a memorial written two months ago. The content of the memorial was also very simple. It requested the Ministry of War to allocate a thousand armors and a thousand swords to Beijing.
Zhu Di didn't pay attention at the time. Seeing that the quantity Chen Kan wanted was not large, he agreed directly.
But now it seems that these one thousand armors and one thousand swords are very likely to cause a bloody storm in Liaodong.
Yes, Zhu Di can also think of things that Chen Kan can think of.
The reason why I didn't think of it before was because the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty had not been straightened out. Moreover, as the Ming Dynasty was a celestial country, there was no need for the Ming Dynasty to take advantage of those small countries.
But now this gap has been torn apart by Chen Kan, and Zhu Di has keenly discovered that perhaps Daming's investment may receive unimaginable returns.
Therefore, Zhu Di was tempted.
Putting down the memorial, Zhu Di took out the map of the Ming Dynasty and stared at the large land in Liaodong.
The land in Liaodong is fertile, and Zhu Di naturally knew it since he had been guarding the border in Beijing for many years.
It's just that in the past, Liaodong was in the land of the Fourth War, so the land was deserted.
But now, if Chen Kan's vicious plan to borrow a knife to kill people can succeed, then he will start to consider immigrating to Liaodong to reclaim wasteland.
Then, Zhu Di also started to pick up a pen and circle areas 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 curl up.
Now it seems that sending Chen Kan to Beijing was the right thing to do.
If he were left in Nanjing, Chen Kan's energy would only be focused on fighting between all parties for fame and fortune.
And he had only been in Beijing for half a year, and Chen Kan was able to give him such a big surprise.
Comparing the two, Zhu Di seemed to have discovered Chen Kan's correct usage.
After putting away the map and globe, Zhu Di shouted towards the door: "Come here, pass on the message and reward Jinghai Marquis Chen Kan with a house at the west gate, a thousand taels of gold, a thousand pieces of silk... By the way, again. Go tell the Ministry of War that all the firearms produced by the Ordnance Supervisor these days will be sent to Chen Kan."
Zhu Di spit out a lot of things from his mouth, which made the little eunuch tremble with fear.
These things far exceed the specifications for rewards to the Marquis.
In the afternoon, the news that Zhu Di rewarded Chen Kan had spread throughout the capital.
In the past six months, the capital has lost a lot of fun without Chen Kan.
And this was half a year after Chen Kan disappeared, and the capital heard his name again.
Upon hearing the news, many officials and nobles could not help but be stunned.
They also thought that Chen Kanyuan fled to Beijing and his traces in the court would gradually fade.
But I didn't expect that His Majesty would be so kind to Chen Kan.
After getting the news, the first person to take action was the Han Palace.
After getting the gift list from Zhu Di to Chen Kan, Zhu Gaoxu immediately got into the palace treasury, personally selected countless rare treasures, and then rewarded them to Jinghaihou Mansion in the name of the Han Palace.
Next is the East Palace. Zhu Gaochi did not do anything, but the new Crown Princess Zhang personally went to the warehouse to pick out a carriage of treasures and sent them to the team where Zhu Di rewarded Chen Kan, but she did not publicize it 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 huge fortune after passing Yuan Zheng.
At this time, he was pointing in the direction of Liaodong in the study and yelling.
"Waste, simply waste!"
"What a fool, what a stupid thing, how could I think of supporting such a fool?"
Chen Kan is very angry now.
Because the news coming from Liaodong is not optimistic.
He really didn't expect that Meng Ge Suhan, an idiot, could be beaten to the point of running away by Meng Ge Timur with his support.
The personal guard Li Si standing at the door looked at the mess in the study, his face couldn't stop twitching.
He knew the whole story, but he didn't expect that the news would bring such great excitement to the Marquis. Even the Duan Inkstone, which he usually regarded as a treasure, was willing to smash it on the ground.
As for why I got angry today, the reason is actually very simple.
After Meng Ge Suhan received a thousand armors and a thousand swords sponsored by Chen Kan, he secretly sneaked back into the deep mountains and forests of Liaodong.
And he immediately found his mother clan, the Jurchens of the East China Sea.
The plan went smoothly at first, and Meng Ge Suhan successfully armed an army loyal to him among the Jurchens in the East China Sea.
But it happened that at this time, Meng Ge Suhan was so upset that he told his childhood sweetheart cousin, his original fiancée, and the current mother of the Jianzhou Jurchen clan about his secret development of strength. .
Maybe this idiot is still dreaming about reuniting with his cousin.
Then, his childhood sweetheart cousin revealed the news to Meng Brother Timur without any surprise.
After Mengge Timur learned the news, he attacked the Jurchens in the East China Sea without hesitation. Mengge Suhan was exposed and was caught off guard and lost a large number of backbone troops.
Meng Ge Suhan once again became a lost dog.
After venting for a long time, Chen Kan's anger finally dissipated a little.
The deal is now irreversible, and Meng Ge Suhan's retreat to the Greater Khingan Range has become an established fact that cannot be changed.
Taking another look at the letter of help sent by Meng Ge Suhan, Chen Kan wished he could rush to Daxinganling to find him and slap him twice.
By the way, I would sneer at 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 Meng Ge Suhan.
Meng Ge Suhan is a thug who Chen Kan single-handedly supported and prepared to use to devour the peninsula and the Japanese kingdom. He cannot die yet.
But how to save it is another problem.
Liaodong is now a scene of ice and snow. The army cannot reach Liaodong at all. Moreover, it is impossible for Chen Kan to really send an army to sweep across Liaodong.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Kan had an idea.
"Go call Cheng Feng to see me!"
After Li Si took the order and left, the frightened maid who was hiding outside the door finally dared to come in and clean up the mess.
In all these years, it was the first time that they saw the Marquis, who was always so kind to everyone, 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 their clothes covered with dust.
"Master Hou, are you looking for me?"
Cheng Feng looked at Chen Kan with curiosity.
When he came, he had already heard what happened from Li Si, so he could guess a little bit about Chen Kan's purpose of coming to him now.
Chen Kan nodded: "Did Li Si tell you about Liaodong?"
A look of understanding appeared on Cheng Feng's face, and then he raised his hands and said, "Master Hou, are you going to make a trip to Liaodong?"
"Okay, how many people do you need?"
Chen Kan didn't hide it. For now, the only one who could completely reassure Chen Kan and have the ability to run rampant in Liaodong was Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng thought for a while and responded: "Then it depends on how far the Marquis will go. If we just help the idiot Suhan, Mengge, to reverse the unfavorable situation, we will only need fifty people who are good at fighting." For a warrior, fifty muskets and a hundred war horses will suffice."
Chen Kan frowned: "What if I want you to cooperate with him to muddy the muddy waters of Liaodong in the shortest possible time?"
"Then double it!"
Cheng Feng has absolute confidence in himself. With a hundred Ming tigers, he is sure to turn Liaodong upside down.
Chen Kan still had some doubts: "The snow in Liaodong is not as heavy as in Beijing. Are you sure that a hundred people in the ice and snow will be enough?"
A confident smile appeared on Cheng Feng's face: "Master Hou, the general is from the north. He has been accustomed to the ice and snow since he was a child. Moreover, the ice and snow affect our combat power, and also affect the enemy's combat power. When the two sides are offset, the ice and snow are not actually the same. It’s not that scary.”
Chen Kan understands the truth, and Chen Kan also knows very well that under such circumstances, a special operations force is more effective than the army and marches directly.
But Chen Kan didn't want any surprises.
After pondering for a while, Chen Kan said: "I will give you a hundred men, a hundred fire blunderbuss, a hundred short blunderbuss, and three hundred war horses. Let's set off immediately."
"Got the order!"
Cheng Feng licked the corners of his lips, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
Since following Zheng He to the south, he, a fierce general in the north, has no use.
And now, this opportunity has come!
Cheng Feng led a white team into the snow.
Chen Kan looked away and looked at the Duan Inkstone with a corner missing on the table, and couldn't help but feel a little pain.
If I had known earlier, I would have asked the servants in the mansion to prepare some low-quality porcelain or pottery in advance, and it would not hurt to smash it.
The entire Hou Mansion was swirling around Chen Kan's mood.
When Chen Kan was unhappy, the Hou Mansion looked lifeless.
Chen Kan's condition returned to normal, and the Hou Mansion came to life instantly.
The servants chattered and speculated about the reason for Mr. Hou's anger, and glanced at Chen Kan from time to time.
Chen Kancai was too lazy to pay attention to them. After thinking about it, he told Li Si: "Prepare the car and go to Xu Mansion."
Chen Kan planned to hire a helper, or a counselor, from Meng Ge Suhan.
Meng Ge Suhan is a little clever, but this little cleverness is not enough to support him in sweeping Liaodong.
What happened this time is a living example.
Why does he think that his childhood sweetheart, who has become the wife of fierce brother Timur, is still passionately devoted to him?
Advisors are not difficult to find. Any civil servant of high rank on the ground in Beijing can do the job.
The first candidate that came to Chen Kan's mind was Xu Su, the Bazhou official who had met on the Jinshui River that day.
