Chapter 80 What kind of monster have I created~
The rain outside the window is gradually slowing down and the view is becoming hazy.

The flushed woman sneezed and her eyes became blurry.

Reaching out and lightly touching his forehead, Chen Ran broke the silence in the room and said, "Cold and fever."

Pulling the warm blanket over, he said, "I'll go get the doctor."

"Don't!"

Zhang Yan suddenly grabbed his wrist, her beautiful almond eyes full of pleading, "Don't let anyone know~"

“But you’re sick now.”

"Don't." Zhang Yan's pretty face was full of bitterness. "If this gets out, I'd rather die!"

Looking at her beautiful eyes full of determination, Chen Ran frowned slightly, "I do have a simple method, but I don't know if it will work."

"any solution?"

"Exercise, lots of high-intensity exercise, and sweating may help relieve symptoms."

"Also, I heard that when the temperature is high, it feels very unusual~~~"

The clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, the sky cleared.

Chen Ran walked out of Zhang Yan's bedroom and told Eunuch Cao to "ask the imperial physician to prepare some medicine for the cold."

He raised his hand to signal the palace behind him, "I don't want to hear any rumors."

"Don't worry, Grand Commander. Those who like to nag in the palace will no longer nag."

The Governor's Mansion.

"Man Gui crossed the river to Shaanxi?" Looking at the messenger in front of him, Chen Ran was a little surprised. "I don't think I gave him the order to send troops?"

The messenger was obviously a little nervous, and hurriedly explained, "General, my commander did not disobey military orders, but General Cao Wenzhao was ambushed by bandits, so he sent people across the river to ask for help."

"Oh, it's Cao Wenzhao."

Naturally, he did not forget this fierce general, and of course there was also Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao.

In the historical Battle of Songshan, Cao Bianjiao's desperate attack almost forced Huang Taiji to spit feces and fall off his horse and flee. He can be regarded as the last tough guy in the late Ming Dynasty.

This time, after they participated in the war to destroy the Jiannu, they were promoted and made rich and returned to Shaanxi, continuing to serve under the command of Sun Chuanting, the governor-general of the Three Borders.

The uncle and nephew led thousands of elite troops and traveled across Shaanxi, killing all the bandits and making them cry for their parents.

The bandits were so angry that the uncle and nephew had experienced the great war to destroy the Jiannu Army. They were too arrogant to face these rubbish bandits. They dared to go deep into the densely populated area of ​​bandits for thousands of miles with only a few thousand soldiers and were blocked in a valley.

That is to say, the famine and drought in Shaanxi were so severe that there was nothing to eat or cut down in the mountains or else a fire would have burned them all.

Due to terrain restrictions, the cavalry could not break out, and Cao Wenzhao had no choice but to send messengers to seek help everywhere.

The besieged location was near Shenmu, not far from Datong Prefecture.

Man Gui, who had recently cleared out the imperial merchants who colluded with smuggling in various places in Xuanda, immediately led his troops to rescue after receiving the letter for help.

Originally he was planning to come to the capital to meet Chen Ran, but now he has to go to war, so he arranges for an envoy to explain the situation to avoid misunderstandings.

After all, Lord Sun, the governor-general of the three borders, has never listened to the Grand Commander.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Ran didn't care. "It's time to deal with those bandits."

"Send a message to Kong Youde and Shang Kexi. Have them cross the river to Shaanxi and quell the bandits."

"Call Zhu Laitong to the Grand Commandery and have him lead 20,000 troops to guard Shanxi."

He expressed sympathy for the environment that gave rise to bandits, because these were the people who could not survive and who burst out with the will to survive in order to survive.

However, the harm caused by the bandits is too serious and must be quelled as soon as possible.

Bandits are locusts.

They do not produce anything. They eat, rob and burn everything wherever they go.

They even want to take all the local people away, creating a huge snowball-like scale.

The damage caused by the bandits is devastating and takes a long time to recover.

"The entire Shaanxi area has been ruined by them." Zhu Laitong entered the study, and Chen Ran handed him the relevant files to look through. "Recently, they have plans to move eastward to Shanxi."

"This is inevitable." Zhu Laitong also held the title of Right Commander in the Grand Commander's Office, so he naturally had access to various military newspapers. "Shaanxi has been completely ravaged, and the bandits can only rob the land of nothing. If they continue to roam around in Shaanxi, they will all starve to death."

"They definitely don't want to starve to death." Chen Ran nodded slightly, "The only choice is to jump out."

"The bandits in the northern grasslands, who are mainly infantrymen, will not provoke the Mongolian tribe, who have many horses."

"The west is all mountains and even poorer than them."

"Going southwest to Sichuan is a good choice. Sichuan is a rich land. It's a pity that the journey is difficult."

"Going from the southeast to the Central Plains is also a good choice. The scope of activities and vision are suddenly expanded."

At this point, Zhu Laitong, who was listening, nodded immediately, "But Sun Chuanting is guarding Chang'an Tongguan with Qin soldiers. Whether going to the Central Plains or Sichuan, the bandits can't get past Sun Chuanting."

He paused, glanced at Chen Ran's expression, and then added, "Although Sun Chuanting is a civil servant, he is quite good at fighting."

Chen Ran shook his head and said, "You got it wrong. His ability in fighting is average, but his ability as a civil servant is quite good."

Zhu Laitong cooperated very well and showed a look of doubt, waiting for the Grand Commander to explain it to him.

"His ability in fighting is really average. He just blocks the way for the bandits."

"But he won because he did what a civilian official should do."

"We rectified Shaanxi, and by taking advantage of the severe drought and banditry, we cleared out the blood-sucking insects that had been entangled in the area for two hundred years, alleviating the pressure and burden."

"By opening up military settlements and recruiting refugees to engage in military production, we not only obtained a large amount of valuable food, but also cut off the basis for the expansion of the bandits."

Chen Ran concluded, "As long as there are people with food and everyone is able to work together, we can certainly defeat the bandits." "I see." Zhu Lai saluted Chen Ken, "The commander-in-chief has a profound insight. I admire him!"

"If all civil servants in the world were like Sun Chuanting, it would be a pity for the Ming Dynasty."

Waving his hand, Chen Ran instructed, "When you go to Shanxi, you have to do two things."

"First, block the two banks of the Yellow River to prevent the bandits from crossing the river and causing trouble."

"Second, we will intensify the crackdown on smugglers in Shanxi. No matter how small the smugglers are, they are still illegal and must not be let off."

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

The bandits in Shaanxi never imagined that they were just struggling to survive in poverty and destitution, but they would suffer a dimensionality reduction attack!

Not only did Man Gui lead Xuan Da's elite troops across the river, he also inflicted heavy damage on them and rescued Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew.

What's even more exaggerated is that Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, with 20,000 elite Liao soldiers who had participated in the war to destroy the Jiannu, also crossed the river and chased them all the way.

Unlike the Qin soldiers, these Liao soldiers were mainly elite cavalry, and their military discipline was astonishingly good.

Once the bandits were targeted, it would be difficult for them to escape. The tactic of throwing gold, silver and jewelry to stop the pursuers, which had always worked in the past, was no longer effective in front of these Liao soldiers.

"I saw it with my own eyes. Several soldiers who dismounted to pick up gold and silver were all beheaded."

Li Guo, nicknamed "A Tiger", reported to his uncle Li Zicheng that "after the battle, those government troops were counted and those who were found to have gold and silver jewelry were all dragged out and chopped off."

"I've never seen an army with such good discipline!"

After a long chase that lasted hundreds of miles, Li Zicheng still looked okay.

"These government troops are powerful." After a moment of silence, he made up his mind decisively, "Let's go, head east!"

"East?" Li Guo was surprised. "Are they not going to join up with King Chuang and his men? They all went west."

The current Li Zicheng is not yet the King of Rebellion, his nickname is General Chuang.

The King of Rebellion at this time was Gao Yingxiang, who was also the leader elected by all the bandits.

"It is precisely because they went west that we had the opportunity to go east."

Li Zicheng was a man of few words, but he was a man of action. He rode away directly, "The new government troops are difficult to deal with. We have to jump out to survive."

There were no extra words, his intentions were fully revealed.

That is to use King Gao Yingxiang and his fellow travelers as bait to attract the attention of the government troops.

He took the opportunity to go east and go to a place that the troops of the Grand Marshal's Office could not reach for the time being.

As for the lives of those bandits, we can no longer care about them.

After all, we are just drinking buddies. At this time, of course I would rather die than let my friend die.

Chen Ran has been in a very good mood recently.

It’s not because the girls are willing to unlock more postures for him, but because the accelerated training students in various schools have finally begun to graduate one after another.

These fast-track students have average abilities, but are able to fill the gaps in local government offices on a large scale.

It’s just work. If you do it more and gain experience, you will naturally be able to do it.

With a steady supply of new students, he can expand on a large scale.

“Attach importance to the military and take the army as the foundation.”

"Distribute land according to military merit and cultivate a system of good families."

"Recruit good family members to train and fill vacancies in the government office."

"The expansion of the scope of control, in turn, stimulated the expansion of the size of the army, provided more officer positions, and provided more job opportunities in local government offices."

"Hiss~~~"

"The army comes first, and everything serves the army. With expansion as the fundamental goal, we will build an iron-blooded machine!"

Chen Ran put down the brush in his hand and looked at the summary record he wrote. "Isn't this the attention of the military? What kind of monster have I created~"

He knew very well that once this kind of military merit group was formed, no one would be able to stop it.

He was really helpless. He just wanted to get benefits and live a good life. He had no interest in riding a horse and fighting wars all his life.

"No, it's too tiring and depressing. I need to change my living environment to relax."

Modern world, riverside park.

The constantly shaking Maserati Quattroporte finally stopped after more than ten minutes of testing its suspension system.

Chen Ran, lying in the driver's seat, looked up at the two footprints on the sunroof glass and fell into deep thought.

'It seems that Empress Yi'an has the smallest feet.'

"It's not easy to be a woman." Liu Ruyan rolled down the car window, threw the paper ball out, turned around, and lifted the big wave beside her ear. "Just because I'm a woman, my family wants to marry me off as a tool for marriage. The company and career are all left to that brother who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun."

At this point, a mocking expression appeared on her pretty face, which was still red. “Why?”

Chen Ran remained silent, and what flashed through his mind were still pairs of footsteps.

"I have contributed so much to the development of my family's company. Why do you treat me like this?"

With slightly swollen lips, Liu Ruyan opened the bottle of mineral water to rinse her mouth. "Fate is so unfair, I won't accept it!"

At this moment, two lines of subtitles floated past Chen Ran's front.

'The fate of women in ancient times was tragic and they were powerless to choose their own destiny.'

'Are you willing to accept the new main quest and go to the world of Dream of Red Mansions to change the tragic fate of those unfortunate women?'
