Liu Ye finally did not take away these gifts for Chen Kan.
In his words, there is no reason to take back the gifts given out.
Chen Kan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
So he reluctantly kept the gold and silver and only asked him to take away the women.
Then, those women felt insulted and wanted to commit suicide one by one.
Chen Kan had no choice but to leave the woman behind.
But how to deal with these women is really a headache for Chen Kan.
He is the kind of person who has a lustful heart but no courage. What's more, these women are completely different from the beautiful and charming wives at home.
He is not someone who wants to eat porridge and side dishes after eating too much meat.
So he was determined not to do anything sorry for Chang Ning.
Chen Kan struggled for a long time and planned to place these women on the island first and wait for Zheng He to come over and hand them over to him for unified processing.
Whether he wanted to bring it back to the Ming Dynasty and offer it to Zhu Di, or keep it as a maid, Chen Kan didn't care.
When Chen Kan finished handling the gold and silver, it was time for dinner.
Zhang Dong brought food to Chen Kan.
Chen Kan was only halfway through eating when two other guards broke into Chen Kan's house regardless of his manners.
As soon as he entered the door, he started shouting: "Commander, good news, good news!"
Chen Kan glared at the two of them with dissatisfaction, slowly stuffed a golden piece of grilled fish into his mouth, and then scolded: "How unbecoming are you in such a hurry?"
When the two guards heard this, they quickly stood up straight.
After Chen Kan finished eating the grilled fish, he wiped his mouth gracefully and asked calmly: "What's the good news? Tell me!"
The two guards said excitedly: "Commander, there is news from Commander Song that the country of Sumatra is empty. He has successfully led troops to break through Bolingbang. At this time, King Abizhen of Sumatra is returning urgently, and the strait is empty. .”
Hearing this, Chen Kan just nodded, with a calm expression on his face.
Song Qing's ability to lead troops to defeat Bolingbang was within his expectations, and there was nothing to be excited about.
However, it was only ten days, five days ahead of the half-month time limit given by Chen Kan to Song Qing to break through Bolingbang.
It can barely be considered an unexpected surprise.
This shows that Chen Kan still underestimated Song Qing's military talents.
He indeed, like Fang Xu, has the potential to grow into a famous general.
Of course, whether they can grow up in the end depends on how big a stage Chen Kan can provide them.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Kan signaled Zhang Dong to clean up the mess on the table.
Then he gave a calm order: "I have informed my generals that the entire army will be reorganized for three days. After three days, the entire army will march to the strait."
"Got the order!"
The two guards followed the order and left. Chen Kan leaned on the chair and thought for a moment, then said to the guards guarding the door: "Come here with the chart!"
Chen Kan has seen the sea chart countless times.
But he was about to set off to attack the capital of Manchuria in three days, so Chen Kan decided to see if there were any flaws.
Lying on the desk, Chen Kan once again concentrated on his research.
But after studying for a long time, Chen Kan could only come up with one result, and that was a sure win.
Now that Sumatra has withdrawn its troops from the strait, the number of troops blocking the strait between the two countries has been reduced by more than half in an instant.
With Manlajia's broken ships, Chen Kan couldn't think of any possibility of losing.
The only flaw was whether Zheng He had already learned about the arrival of reinforcements and cooperated accordingly at the appropriate time.
However, Chen Kan sent several waves of envoys via Chenla, Siam, asking them to go from the Bengal Sea to the ocean to search for Zheng He's fleet.
It seems that Zheng He should have known about the arrival of reinforcements led by Chen Kan at this moment.
After all, Zheng He's fleet is difficult to find on the ocean, but if you go to the straits, such a large fleet is still easy to find.
Even though Zheng He seemed to be forced to retreat to the ocean by Manchuria and Sumatra, Chen Kan knew that the coalition forces of the two countries would not dare to pursue Zheng He.
In the strait, they could rely on the human sea tactic to hold back Zheng He.
As long as they chase into the sea, the warships of the two countries, which are not as good as the fishing boats of the Ming Dynasty, can pose any threat to Zheng He. It is undoubtedly a fantasy.
Therefore, Chen Kan was certain that Zheng He's fleet would not be too far away from the strait.
What's more, they also know the address on Zheng He's letter asking for help.
Even if Zheng He moved to another place to be stationed, it would not be far from the original place where he was stationed.
Because it's not necessary.
At sea, the two countries' coalition forces, who were like wild monkeys, could only deliver food to Zheng He.
So this is not a big flaw. Even if Zheng He doesn't come, Chen Kan is still very confident that he will fight against the Manchurian Kingdom.
So after studying for a while, Chen Kan started to get confused.
There is nothing I can do, I really don’t know how to lose.
So distressed.
Just when Chen Kan was worried about how to lose, on the island where Zheng He was stationed, a burst of laughter broke the tranquility of the island.
Most of the time, the atmosphere on the island where Zheng He was stationed was comparative.
Rarely does anyone laugh so heartily.
The main reason was that Zheng He was not allowed to make loud noises because he was afraid of causing a roar in the camp.
They are all a group of nervous people. Once the camp is bombed, it is likely to cause incalculable consequences.
Today, Wang En broke this rule.
He laughed and shouted: "Hahahaha, handsome, handsome, good news, good news..."
Ever since they learned of the arrival of the reinforcements, the soldiers who had been busy repairing warships or weapons stopped their work when they heard Wang En's laughter.
Looking at Wang En, who was laughing and running towards the commander's tent, he looked curious.
People began to speculate in their minds, what exactly could make Wang Jieshuai so happy? Could it be that reinforcements had arrived in the strait?
It wasn't until Wang En ran into Zheng He's handsome tent that he looked away.
But after a while, they turned their curious eyes to the handsome tent on the top of the hill.
Just because there was more hearty laughter coming from the tent.
This time, the voice of laughter is Zheng He!
In the handsome tent, Zheng He rarely lost his composure. He looked at Wang En with surprise and asked, "Xuanzhen, are you serious about this?"
Wang En grinned widely and said with a big smile: "Commander, it's absolutely true. The scouts under the general's command personally saw the Sumatran army withdrawing from the strait in a panic."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
After confirming the authenticity of the news, Zheng He was so excited that he said hello three times in a row.
Of course he knew what it meant for Sumatra to withdraw its troops, which meant that Chen Kan on the other side of the strait had taken action!
The place where Zheng He's fleet was stationed was actually not that far from the Strait port.
Sometimes you can even see fishing boats from the two countries appearing in the waters where the fleets are stationed.
Therefore, it is inevitable that he learned the news about Sumatra's withdrawal of troops faster than Chen Kan.
So after getting excited, Zheng He quickly calmed down.
Asked: "At this time, when did Sumatra begin to withdraw its troops, and how long has it been since now?"
Wang En was stunned, and then he started to count with his fingers: "We are about two hours' sail from the entrance of the strait, and when the scouts determined that the Sumatran army was retreating, the Sumatran army's withdrawal must have come to an end. After all, it is not that easy for an army of tens of thousands. Those who have withdrawn, let the general do the math..."
Wang En counted on his fingers for a long time, and then spit out a number from his mouth with authority: "Three days!"
"Three days?"
"Yes, the commander-in-chief should know that Sumatra's army deployed in the strait exceeds 80,000 people. It is impossible for so many people to withdraw at once. If according to the news reported by the scouts, the Sumatra army's face when it withdrew They all look panicked, so three days must be the limit for their withdrawal."
"Did you start withdrawing troops three days ago?"
When Zheng He heard the numbers, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought again.
After a moment, Zheng He's mouth curved.
There is only one possibility for the hasty withdrawal of Sumatra's troops this time, and that is that the capital Bolingbang has been captured by Chen Kan's men.
Even if there is no tribute, he must still be in a life-or-death situation.
If calculated based on time, Sumatra began to withdraw its troops three days ago, then Chen Kan should have already known about Sumatra's withdrawal by this time.
After all, the distance from Bolingbang to both ends of the strait is almost the same, so the speed of message transmission will not be much different.
In other words, the time has come for him to regain his place.
Zheng He thought for a while and then told Wang En: "Xuanzhen, please pass on the order. The whole army will rest for ten days. After ten days, we will launch an attack towards the strait?"
When Wang En heard this, he subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement.
But after a moment, he suddenly asked in disbelief: "Ten days from now, Marshal, are you sure it won't be today?"
Zheng He shook his head and confirmed again: "Yes, ten days. Let the soldiers take a good rest in these ten days and attack the strait in ten days."
After hearing the exact answer, Wang En suddenly showed a constipated expression.
Dissatisfied: "Commander, since Sumatra has withdrawn its troops, why do we have to wait for ten days? Shouldn't we immediately order the army to attack the strait?"
Wang En is really difficult to understand.
Sumatra has already withdrawn its troops, leaving only Managa's garbage army in the strait.
Isn’t this a God-given opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven?
Not to mention that there is Jinghaihou's fleet on the other side of the strait to support him.
If we don't launch an attack now, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Zheng He smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "No, now is not the best time to launch an attack. Go and give the order."
Wang En frowned and wanted to refute.
But Zheng He suddenly straightened his face and said seriously: "Go and deliver the order!"
Wang En glanced at Zheng He with an incomprehensible look, and finally exited the room unwillingly.
He knew Zheng He well, and when he saw Zheng He's serious expression, he knew that Zheng He's order was non-negotiable.
Although he didn't understand it, he hadn't thought about disobeying military orders.
It’s just that it’s really hard for him to understand!
Watching Wang En walk away, Zheng He's expression calmed down.
The reason why he decided to launch an attack on the strait only ten days later was to give Chen Kan enough time.
After all, it will take time for Chen Kan's fleet to arrive.
As for Wang En, when the envoy sent by Chen Kan told him about Chen Kan's plan, Wang En was not present.
He didn't know Chen Kan's plan, so it was normal to have such an attitude.
Zheng He had no intention of telling Wang En the truth, nor did he intend to tell the soldiers the truth.
The soldiers have been suppressed for too long.
They urgently needed a hearty victory to boost their morale. If they were told in advance, there would be no sense of surprise.
It is better to continue to hide it from them, and then let the surprise of the big victory wash away your depression in their hearts.
Exhaling a filthy breath, Zheng He said to the door: "Come here, get the sea chart."
Zheng He also needed to study charts, but his situation was different from Chen Kan.
The morale of the soldiers on Chen Kan's ship was high, and the ship had sufficient ammunition and equipment.
But his fleet can be said to be difficult to describe now, so he must be precise in controlling time.
It's too early to leave. If the fleet's ammunition is empty and Chen Kan hasn't arrived yet, he has no confidence that he can lead the fleet to break through the blockade of nearly 100,000 troops.
And if he arrived late and Chen Kan finished playing, he didn't think Chen Kan would order some soup for him.
Moreover, military merit cannot be given to Chen Kan if he is willing to do so. It depends on whether the soldiers under Chen Kan are willing to do so.
But after studying for a long time, he came to the same conclusion as before.
Ten days was a relatively safe period he came up with after crossing the strait once.
After thinking about it, Zheng He put away the chart and shouted to the door: "Go and invite Pei Gou'er and Wang Du to come!"
"yes."
The voice of the personal guard came in. Zheng He rubbed his brows tiredly and began to stare at the sea chart in a daze.
Soon, Pei Gouer and Wang Du entered the room under the leadership of Zheng He's personal guards.
Zheng He withdrew his personal guards and motioned to the two of them: "Sit down!"
The two looked at each other and sat opposite Zheng He. Wang Du was the first to ask: "I wonder if the commander has called us two brothers over so late. What are your orders?"
Zheng He did not show off and said bluntly: "Sumatra has withdrawn its troops. It seems that the army under the command of the Marquis has already taken action against Bolingbang. I called you two here because I want to ask you about the plot of the Marquis. details."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Gouer and Pei Du looked at each other again, and Jie saw looks of surprise in each other's eyes.
