"When you were selling your royal title, you didn't say that you were the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture!"
Chen Kan looked at Zhang Guan, the dissatisfaction on his face undisguised.
Hearing this, Zhang Guan's face couldn't help but turn green and white. Chen Kan used this as an excuse to make it clear that he wanted to hit him hard.
After a long while, Zhang Guan gritted his teeth and said: "We will double the original base. Ten people from the Army Academy and thirty people from the Naval Academy. There can be no more. If there are more, I will not be able to explain to the generals of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Three times, there are fifteen people in the Army Academy and forty-five people in the Naval Academy. If these numbers are not enough, then I will have to talk to His Majesty personally."
Chen Kan lightly doubled the amount. Zhang Guan's face turned from black to white, and then from white to green after hearing this.
But in the face of Chen Kan's implicit and explicit threats, he did not dare to continue to refute.
"good!"
Zhang Guan almost gritted his teeth and said this good word.
Chen Kan immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Then I will be waiting for the good news from Lord Zhang at home."
After saying that, he didn't care about Zhang Guan's livid face.
He bowed his hands to An Fenggong, who was sitting on one side watching the show, and walked away.
Chen Kan also knew that the demands he made were enough for Zhang Guan to beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother, but... he asked for it.
We are all officials, so it is normal for you to plot against me and for me to plot against you.
If Zhang Guan is not as good as others, he can only blame himself.
After leaving Shuntian Mansion Office, Chen Kan felt refreshed.
Three years later, he will have 60 more staff members who are proficient in various strategies and tactics under his command, making a lot of money.
Coupled with various arrangements in the past few years, he barely had a place in the Ming army.
All conspiracies and tricks are false, only the barrel of a gun is real!
Chen Kan felt that he was looking more and more like a big spider now.
If Zhu Di can just let him develop like this, maybe he can really grab the emperor's position and sit for a while.
Of course, Chen Kan was just thinking about it.
Not to mention that after becoming the emperor, he could only immerse himself in documents every day and had no time to live by himself.
Even if he really wanted to rebel, he would not be Zhu Di's opponent.
Are you kidding me, rebelling under the famous Emperor Yongle would be boring.
What's more, Zhu Di was kind to him. Not only did he marry his daughter, but he also wiped his ass countless times.
Chen Kan asked himself that although he had little conscience, he would not do such a despicable thing.
After riding slowly back to the Hou Mansion, Chen Kan went to exercise with Chang Ning for a while.
Then he entered the study and started writing a letter to Fang Xiaoru.
Zhu Di merged the inner treasury into the national treasury, but Chen Kan did not get any news about this matter.
Logically speaking, there is no reason for people in the capital to hide such a big thing from themselves.
But he didn't know it was true.
This shows that Zhu Di and Fang Xiaoru must have cut off his sources of information again.
They probably did this because they were afraid of diving in again.
In other words, their second game has begun.
Regarding this point, Chen Kan suddenly figured it out on the way back.
The first game between Fang Xiaoru and Zhu Di basically ended in a loss for both sides. Zhu Di gave up on Chen Ying, the hawk and the dog. There may have been some thought in it, but giving up means giving up.
Fang Xiaoru also spent nearly a year in prison, and even lost Chen Qia, the most powerful general in the official department.
It is not surprising that a second game appears.
I just don’t know what the medium of the game between the two is this time. Is it Zhu Di’s inner treasury, the national treasury, or a bank?
But no matter which one it is, once something goes wrong, it will not be a good thing for Daming.
So Chen Kan felt that he had the obligation to write a letter and send it back to remind Fang Xiaoru. Of course, Zhu Di also needed to be reminded.
So after Chen Kan got into the study, he first told Fang Xiaoru his concerns, and then wrote a memorial letter to Zhu Di in the form of remonstrance.
The general meaning is that I have no control over how you fight, and I can't control it, but the treasury cannot go bankrupt, nor can it affect the banks, otherwise I will go back to Beijing to cause trouble, and I ask you if you are afraid of this.
After polishing it several times, Chen Kan was satisfied and sealed the letter with beeswax and handed it to Yuncheng, asking him to send someone to the capital as quickly as possible.
Chen Kan had just sent Yuncheng away.
Zhang Dong found Chen Kan with another stack of letters.
"Master Marquis, Liaodong, there is also a letter from the capital!"
Chen Kan was about to go see his wife, but he didn't expect the letter to come again, so he had to take it and return to the study!
As usual, Chen Kan took the lead in opening the letter from the capital.
This letter is signed by Mr. Huang, which is Zhu Di’s pseudonym.
As soon as Chen Kan opened the letter and took a first look at it, the essence of Chinese culture couldn't help but blurt out.
"Fuck!"
"Damn, this North Korea is really an invincible little power."
Chen Kan frowned and read Zhu Di's letter patiently.
The content of the letter was very simple. Seeing that the land route was impassable, the North Korean King Li Fangyuan took the water route and bypassed the Jurchen ministries to send the envoys seeking help to the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. He had been crying in the capital for a long time.
I hope Ming Dynasty will send troops to help quickly.
More importantly, this North Korean envoy actually came from Japan.
That's why Chen Kan couldn't help but lament that North Korea is a weak force that cannot be defeated.
Because as early as after Li Yao arrived in Beijing, Chen Kan secretly asked the Dengzhou Navy to cooperate with the Jurchens to block the waterway above the Bohai Sea.
But he didn't expect that North Korea would find another way and go directly from the ocean to the Japanese country, and then board the Ming Dynasty's merchant ship from the Japanese country.
The key is that Japan also agreed to North Korea's request to use the passage.
"Grass! (a plant!)"
After reading the letter, Chen Kan didn't know whether to praise the King of Joseon for his perseverance or scold him for being stupid.
Both waterways and land routes were closed. Did he really not doubt the Ming Dynasty at all?
He is still thinking that the Ming Dynasty can send troops to rescue him. Is Li Fangyuan's mind like Watts?
Doesn’t he know that it is better to seek help from others than to ask for yourself?
How shameless!
Chen Kan was speechless and wrote a letter to Zhu Di again.
There is only one word on the letter, drag!
Dragging it to the Kingdom of Korea happened to be the same old trick, and Annan's methods were once again moved to Korea.
Anyway, Chen Kan estimated that Chen Qia should have agreed to the various Jurchen tribes by now.
If nothing else, even Meng Ge Suhan might have become his puppet.
What Ming Dynasty’s civil servants are best at is silencing others!
After replying to Zhu Di, Chen Kan opened the letter from Liaodong.
Then, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Because his guess came true.
Chen Qia did sideline Meng Ge Suhan, but contrary to Chen Kan's expectation, Chen Qia did not choose to attack Meng Ge Timur, but chose to form an alliance with Meng Ge Timur.
The reason for the alliance is simple. Since everyone wants to establish a country, they will conquer Korea and Japan. Then Mengge Suhan will establish a country on the Korean peninsula, and Japan will belong to Mengge Timur.
I don’t know what Meng Brother Timur thought, but he really believed Chen Qia’s lies.
Now the two sides have joined forces and are storming Pyongyang, the old capital of North Korea. As long as Pyongyang falls, Hanyang, the new capital of North Korea, will also face an undefendable situation.
At that time, Li Fangyuan could only lead his people to retreat to the sea to fight with the Jurchens.
By then, whether Li Fangyuan fled Japan or came to Ming Dynasty to rescue troops, he would be in the situation Chen Kan expected.
Chen Kan had no intention of killing Li Fangyuan.
If you want to stabilize the situation in North Korea then, you will have to rely on this person.
After reading Chen Qia's letter, Chen Kan was immediately happy.
He knew that it was definitely right to place Chen Qia in Liaodong. After all, a person who could stand in the Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle dynasties and still hold a high position was extremely capable.
This time, if it weren't for the fight between Fang Xiaoru and Zhu Di.
I'm afraid that the person who will take over Fang Xiaoru's class in the future will be him.
It's a pity that the situation is like this, but Chen Kan got a big advantage.
Putting down the letter, Chen Kan thought for a while and decided not to reply to Chen Qia.
Anyway, the situation in Liaodong has been decided now, and he knows his plan clearly.
After taking down North Korea, the next Japanese country will be very simple.
At this time, the domestic situation in Japan was unstable, the shogun era was coming to an end, and the Warring States Period was approaching.
There are ronin warriors everywhere who were expelled due to defeat. If these warriors are used well, these ronin warriors may be able to overthrow the Japanese country without the Jurchens taking action.
Don't underestimate those ronin warriors, although they were all defeated generals who were defeated and expelled.
But it was these defeated generals who made famous anti-Japanese generals Hu Zongxian, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dajiu, Tan Lun and many other famous Ming generals in later generations.
After reading the letters sent from the capital and Liaodong.
Chen Kan skillfully placed the letters on the candlestick, lit them, and threw them into the brazier nearby.
Burning letters is definitely a big deal and cannot be ignored.
How many people in history ended up falling down on a thin piece of letter paper, which is the so-called lesson learned from the past and a lesson for future generations.
Of course Chen Kan would not leave any clue on such a trivial matter.
The confirmation letter turned into ashes, and Chen Kan walked out of the room.
"Yuncheng!"
Chen Kan called out, and Yuncheng's voice sounded behind Chen Kan: "Master Marquis, what are your orders?"
"Send two trustworthy people to the capital to bring Mr. Chen's family to Beijing, and find a house by the Jinshui River to settle Mr. Chen's family."
Chen Kan gave a calm order, and Yuncheng took the order and left without asking why.
Watching Yuncheng walk away, Chen Kan couldn't help but smile.
Chen Qia gave him such a big surprise, so he had the obligation to solve his worries for him.
Of course, as the saying goes, it is necessary to be on guard against others. Although Chen Kan trusted Chen Qia, people's hearts are the most fickle things.
Bringing his family here was not only to help him solve his worries, but also to prevent him from having any thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Chen Kan has never been stingy in trying to speculate on people's hearts with the greatest malice.
After all, it is a matter of seeking the country, so be careful and you will never make a big mistake.
Chen Kan was thinking as he wandered toward the backyard.
He is about to have his own child in this era, and he hopes that his child can grow up in a safe and healthy environment.
