Chapter 58 What to do if eating shit is discovered? Of course, silence it.

"It won't take five years."

Chen Ran, with a ruddy face and quite excited, responded enthusiastically, "Three years is enough."

"It won't take three years. I'll go straight to Huanglong after the New Year!"

Under continuous attacks, the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty has been greatly reduced compared with history.

Especially for the elite troops in their prime years, the heavy losses directly led to a sharp decline in their combat effectiveness.

Chen Ran is confident that with support, he can eradicate this cancer that has plagued people for hundreds of years in one fell swoop next year.

He knew the strength of the Jiannu. Among the many northern threats over the past thousand years, they were at the bottom of the list.

As long as the Ming Dynasty can return to normal, it will not be difficult to deal with it.

What he wants now is the strength to cope with the situation normally.

"Eunuch." He invited Cao Huachun, who came to ask questions on behalf of the emperor, to sit down. "What I want is very little, really very little. Dongjiang Town and Liao Town, plus Liao salary, do not move."

"No pay raise?" The eunuch in charge of the Eastern Depot was obviously surprised.

"No." Chen Ran shook his head. "Please ask an elder to be the supervisor. Everything else will remain the same."

Cao Huachun didn't understand.

You don't want to increase the Liao salary when you come to Liaozhen, right?

You should know that even Sun Chengzong, when he came to Liaozhen before, asked for a sum of silver from the emperor's treasury, and the court even approved an additional 3 cents of Liao tax.

"Really not necessary." Chen Ran smiled. "Trust me, I can do it."

The Liao tribute of several million taels a year was enough to buy the lives of all the Tartar men even at the price of fifty taels per real Tartar.

Unfortunately, Ming Dynasty is really
Cao Huachun stared into Chen Ran's eyes, and after a moment he spoke quietly, "If the Tartars were gone."

Chen Ran understood it immediately. It was just the same as keeping the enemy at bay to protect oneself.

"Don't worry." Chen Ran picked up the tea bowl, "I'm ready."

"By the way." He changed the subject. "How is Elder Sun?"

"After all, he is the late emperor's imperial tutor and a university scholar." Cao Huachun raised his eyebrows. "The emperor must give him some respect. He has already returned to his hometown in Gaoyang."

"Oh." Chen Ran frowned and tapped his fingers. "With Elder Sun's age, there is no chance."

It was obvious that Sun Chengzong would never have the chance to return to the court.

'The changes have been made, and the rewards are now being distributed.'

'The salary is 1,236 taels of silver and 860 shi of grain.'

The previous revisions to Sun Chengzong were now paid out, which was equivalent to his annual salary, making up for what he had lost.

A month later, official news finally came from the court.

All reinforcements were ordered to return to their bases, mainly Xuanda, Jizhen, the Qin soldiers who had not yet arrived in Liaodong, and the troops from the three major camps.

Only the White Spear Soldiers from Sichuan were ordered to continue northward and station at Shanhaiguan.

Although the emperor stated that he was not Emperor Gaozong of Song, he still took necessary precautions.

Zhou Yanru, who had officially become the chief minister of the cabinet, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, in charge of all military and political affairs of Liaozhen, Dongjiangzhen and Shanhaiguan.

Unlike Sun Chengzong who did everything himself, Zhou Yanru did not go to Liaodong, but entrusted all matters to Chen Ran, who had also been promoted again.

At this time, Chen Ran was promoted to the first-class Weiyuan Marquis, the right commander of the front army of the Five Military Commandery, and the title of Prince's Guardian, and was granted the title of Pillar of the State, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, and the temporary commander-in-chief of Liao Town because of his contribution to the Battle of Dalinghhe Fort.

The final result of the Battle of Dalingh River was that the Zhen Tatars, Baoyis, and Mongols captured a total of 7,700 prisoners.

However, the actual losses of the Later Jin Dynasty were far greater than this, as more than 10,000 people were swept away by the tsunami and their whereabouts are unknown.

The ones who finally made the emperor make up his mind to hand over the military power to a military general were Amin, the Great Beile who was picked up from the sea and was already swollen, and Dodo Beile who was sent to the palace and lived a life worse than death after being castrated.

He was convinced that Chen Ran could definitely destroy the Jiannu and completely eradicate this cancer of the Ming Dynasty.

However, he still had the necessary precautions. After all, he had been the emperor for several years, so he had honed his intelligence.

Wen Tiren, who had always been at odds with Zhou Yanru, was appointed to supervise the Ministry of Revenue and was in charge of all logistical supplies for Liaozhen Dongjiang Town.

However, Cao Huachun never got the position of the chief eunuch in the Imperial Household Department.

After all, he is the prime minister of the cabinet, the chief eunuch in the palace, and the general fighting outside.

This combination is too similar to the person who carried out reforms decades ago.

Therefore, the emperor's main target of defense was actually Zhou Yanru.

Amid this series of major moves, not many people paid attention to the fact that Zhang Zhiji, the prince of the Duke of England, was taken back to the capital by his son-in-law, and then released in a low-key manner to go home and study.

However, it is obvious that the emperor who allowed Zhang Zhiji to return home to study still trusts the Duke of Yingzhou's Mansion.

Because the relationship between the father-in-law and the son-in-law is extremely bad, they are even enemies.

"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, proclaims:"

After receiving the official appointment, Chen Ran immediately set up his headquarters in Jinzhou City.

My family, who were far away in Lushun Fort, had already packed up and were ready to come by boat.

"Where's General Zu?" When he called the generals for the first time, he didn't see Zu Dashou. Chen Ran glanced at him and asked, "Deputy General He is not here either?"

"General Zu is not feeling well." Wu Xiang stepped forward cautiously. "Deputy General He said two days ago that he was going to Guangning Guard for scouts and has not returned yet."

"Oh." Chen Ran didn't say much, but signaled Cao Deming and Gao Di with his eyes.

Both of them were eunuchs supervising the army, one from Dongjiang Town and the other from Liao Town.

Cao Deming motioned for the old senior to come.

Gao Di coughed and said, "The Emperor has issued an order that Marshal Chen will take charge of Liaozhen's military affairs. From now on, everyone in Liaozhen must obey Marshal Chen's orders. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir~~~" Liaozhen is in a miserable situation now.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, and most of the middle and senior generals were lost.

The rest were also trembling with fear because of the defeat. This was a good time for Chen Ran to place his trusted followers in a large number of positions and take full control of Liaozhen.

The only ones who were truly qualified to stop him were Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, Song Wei and other generals, plus He Kegang, the deputy general who was very famous in Liaozhen.

The original Zhao Luejiao and Man Gui had already fled to other towns to serve as generals.

The uncle and nephew Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao have already entered the pass to wipe out the bandits.

The rest are not worth mentioning.

"Wu Xiang has been captured. This cowardly guy is easy to control."

"Song Wei and his men were defeated in battle and lost their troops, so they were killed by the imperial court."

"Zu Dashou and He Kegang are in trouble. They have made great contributions in defending Dalinghe Fort, and they still have so many soldiers under their command."

A few days later, when Chen Ran was thinking about how to eliminate the core of Liaozhen, a major event suddenly occurred.

"Marshal, something happened!"

"Deputy General He was attacked and killed!"

Chen Ran met He Kegang's servant who had escaped and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

"My general took us to Guangning to investigate."

"How many people did you bring?" Chen Ran interrupted their crying. "Are they all servants?"

"In reply to the commander, they are all the general's servants, more than 400 of them." The servant hurriedly explained, "They are all elite soldiers."

"go on."

"There are not many people in Guangning. Some Jiannu scouts ran away when they saw us." The servant cried with tears in his eyes, "But we only rested for one night, and thousands of troops besieged the camp that night~~~"

"Thousands are just a few thousand. Where did this army come from? Are they the Tartars?"

"There are at least one or two thousand of them, and they are not Tartars." The servant wiped his tears and gritted his teeth, "We all recognize those familiar faces, they are Zu Dashou's personal soldiers and servants!"

"Wait a minute." Chen Ran was surprised. "Who are you talking about, Zu Dashou's soldiers?"

"General~~~" He Kegang's servants pointed to the sky and swore, "It was Zu Dashou who did it. We stayed with them in Dalinghe Fort for several months. We all know each other."

"Why did Zu Dashou want to kill He Kegang?" Chen Ran was confused at first, then suddenly realized, "Is it because he ate shit?"

Theoretically, Zu Dashou was eating shit when Dalingh Fort was under siege.

He Kegang was in the city at the time, so there was a high chance that he would be caught. It was not surprising that Zu Dashou did such a thing for the sake of his own reputation.

After all, even if it was him, bah! I would never eat shit!

It was because Zu Dashou did something dishonest that several of He Kegang's servants escaped.

Just when I was thinking of some excuse to win over Zu Dashou, he came to me on his own initiative. Interesting, really interesting.

"Send an order, all the generals from all the departments to come to the meeting, and invite the Governor of Liaodong as well."

When the generals gathered together again, Chen Ran brought this matter up in public.

After listening to the accusations of He Kegang's servants, everyone had different expressions.

To be honest, sneak attacks on one's own people are not uncommon in Liaozhen.

But in the past, they were mostly used to deal with foreign troops, and there were also cases of Liaozhen killing Liaozhen, but they were not of such a high level.

He Kegang is the deputy general!
Similar to the commander of a local military district.

"Mr. Qiu." Chen Ran first looked at Liaodong Governor Qiu Hejia, "How do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Qiu Hejia was Sun Chengzong's political enemy and was used by the court and the emperor to restrain Sun Chengzong. This is also a fine tradition of the Ming Dynasty.

Naturally, he had no good feelings towards Zu Dashou, a person trusted by Sun Chengzong.

At this time, he was happy to watch the fun. "We should call Zu Dashou to defend himself in this matter."

Chen Ran nodded, and then asked the generals, "What do you think?"

The generals of Dongjiang Town who followed him naturally also came to watch the excitement of the dog-eat-dog fight in Liao Town.

Among the generals of Liaozhen, some supported Zu Dashou, while others supported He Kegang. They quarreled fiercely with each other and there was a tendency of division and split.

This is the effect he wants.

When the two sides had completely torn their faces apart, Chen Ran slowly said, "In that case, let General Zu come and explain the matter in person."

His plan was simple: first stabilize Zu Dashou and then put the matter on the emperor's desk.

Through the two cabinet ministers, it was hinted that Zu Dashou was a close confidant promoted by Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan.

You have to know that what Emperor Chongzhen hated the most was Yuan Manzi, who deceived him, played him like a fool, and let the whole world know about it.

At that time, all it would take is an imperial decree and Zu Dashou would be finished.

What he didn't expect was that Zu Dashou would be so decisive.

He never came to Jinzhou City to defend himself. Instead, he left Dalingh Fort with his entire family and troops and headed north to join Huang Taiji.

"Hanjian is Hanjian." Chen Ran, who was playing chess with Eunuch Cao and had lost seven games in a row, immediately stood up and swept the chessboard. "You are so impatient to be a slave and call the master sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, two lines of subtitles floated before his eyes.

'Zu Dashou and his family surrendered to the Later Jin, and Huang Taiji warmly welcomed the entire clan.'

'Note: You can modify two of the words.'
