A Su Li fell down, and the remains were swallowed up by Chen Kai and Huang Yingjie respectively. It was about to be the first month of the sixth year of Yongli, and it was unlikely that the Qing army would launch a large-scale attack immediately. After all, they had to investigate the situation clearly before proceeding.

Make a decision.

At this stage, Chen Kai's main opponent is still Hao Shangjiu. The southern front is nothing more than changing from Su Li to Huang Yingjie. The opponent has fewer troops, but the combat effectiveness is stronger. The Ming army wants to copy the method of dealing with Su Li in Huang Yingjie.

It is almost impossible to do it. The fight between the two sides has come to an end for the time being, that's all.

Digesting the newly recovered areas is the top priority at the moment. After the war, Chen Kai opened a porridge shop for a few days. He was generous and instilled in the local people the concept of the Ming army as the king's division. At the same time, he also attracted

He met many local gentry and invited them to serve as officials.

They were dissatisfied with Su Li, a local bandit. They wanted to celebrate when Su Li was killed. However, they were not very optimistic about the Ming army, especially when they thought of Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, and the Eight Banners Army.

The thought of becoming an official soon turned into fear.

There were not many people who were willing to serve as officials. They were just offshoots of the rich families and some poor scholars. However, Chen Kai was not picky. He immediately appointed a group of officials and asked them to stay here to appease the Ming army for the time being. As for the future,

Once things are temporarily stable in Chaozhou, it won't be too late to make adjustments.

The line from Huilai County to Luohe is the newly recovered territory of the Ming army. Chen Kai assembled a large number of troops here and conducted the necessary screening of the captured soldiers under Su Li's command, and found out some of the soldiers who had been forcibly recruited into the camp and had returned without any bad records.

For the people, the rest were put into new units under militarized management called labor reform camps.

A total of twenty such battalions were established, with two hundred people per unit. Chen Kaixing mobilized a large number of prefectural and county government officials to act as supervisors. Their first job was to repair the city walls, watchtowers, and dredging that were damaged due to the battle.

Moat, this work may take some time for them, because both Jieshi Acropolis and Huilai County have varying degrees of damage, especially the dredging of the moat in Huilai County and the reconstruction of the county school, which will inevitably aggravate the work.

Task burden.

Chen Kai doesn't care whether the burden is heavy or not. When the supervisors arrive, the government officials will naturally be able to conduct further screening and evaluate the time for reform based on the crimes they have committed. By then, there will be

time limit, these labor forces can be better utilized.

It was not until the end of the twelfth lunar month that Huang Yingjie annexed Su Liliu's remaining troops in Haifeng County and Shengjiesuo, and began to build military facilities in these two places to consolidate the city's defenses. Chen Kai finally felt relieved.

The victory document and the letter were sent back to the Zhongzuo Institute. Chen Kai entrusted the frontline defense to Du Hui. With the remaining power of the victory, he returned to Chaozhou Fucheng with the two standard battalions.

Before Chen Kai came back, Ye Yiyun had already started to promote the victory. Especially after Su Li's head was displayed in the newly recovered area, it was not sent back to Chen Kai, but was directly displayed in Chaozhou.

Within the territory, especially the tour in the three counties where the land was divided for farming. Now, even those who were a little skeptical at the beginning had to recognize the reality.

Chen Kai is back. In fact, some well-informed people in Chaozhou have already received the news from the Zhongzuo Institute, but it has not spread yet. But with the Ming army's Lubu Feijie, everyone is surprised that the Ming army is here

In such a situation of internal and external troubles, the local bandit Suli was annihilated in one fell swoop. What was even more shocking was that Chen Kai, who had disappeared for more than half a year, actually came back!

"Surprisingly, it turned out to be Chen Canjun."

"Except for Chen Shenjun, I guess no one can kill the giant bandit Suli so easily."

"Does that need to be said? But, it's no longer Chen Canjun, it's President Chen, the President of Eastern Guangdong. It's clear that he's here to take control of Chaozhou!"

"Master Guo has invited Chen Canjun back now. Isn't he just here for us?"

"..."

Chaozhou City, which originally had the atmosphere of a pool of stagnant water, became calm after the stone was thrown, but a thousand layers of turbulence suddenly arose inside.

Speaking of which, the number of people Chen Kai killed was far from comparable to the number of people he had saved, not even a fraction. However, in the eyes of many people, this Buddha-like existence of thousands of people was also a human being.

A ferocious, cunning and unparalleled figure, just like the Zhuge Wuhou mentioned by the storyteller, he was committed to regaining the Han Dynasty, but he could also use cruel methods such as burning vine-armored soldiers.

There were loud talks in teahouses and restaurants, whispers in the study and small buildings, and people taking a break in the fields. Almost everyone in Chaozhou Prefecture, regardless of gender, old or young, were talking about the return of this legendary civil servant. For a moment, it seemed that

Even the dispute between locals and guests, which was already a lively affair, was somewhat neglected.

While shocked that Sulina and other giant bandits were wiped out by the Ming army in this way, everyone was speculating on Chen Kai's policy direction after his return. Regarding the solution to this dispute between natives and foreigners, some were happy, some were terrified, and some were worried.

Fortunately, there was also anxiety. The entire Chaozhou Prefecture was eagerly waiting for Chen Kai to officially return to Chaozhou Prefecture. For a while, even the local gentry who had come to vent their dissatisfaction in the past few days shamelessly came to visit him.

Ye Yiyun, Chen Ding and other officials who had close friendship with Chen Kai asked for advice in order to know Chen Kai's intentions in time.

Since the capture of Chaozhou, Chen Kai's reputation in this land is as great as that of the national lord. Now, Chen Kai has returned with the bloodshed that wiped out Su Li, and its shocking power can be imagined.

The locals in Chaozhou are like this, but the people in Guangzhou feel more at ease. Of course, the worries are not completely non-existent. Earlier, the dispute between the natives and guests was such that even the official official was seriously injured. Who knew that Chen

Will Kai kill a few first when he comes back?

With much anticipation, Chen Kai returned to Chaozhou City. He completed the handover with Ye Yiyun and received news that Ye Yijun's body was gradually recovering.

"Brother-in-law was still saying a few days ago that if he had listened to Jingcheng's warning, he would not have been in trouble today."

"Zaijiu, we are all discerning people. This matter is impossible to avoid."

Originally, when Chen Kai arrived in Chaozhou, Ye Yiyun should have returned to the Zhongzuo Institute. However, Chen Kai was still running the attack against Su Li, so he continued to control the situation here. But now, once the handover is over, he really

It was inevitable for Ye Yiyun to feel unwilling to leave this land that he had worked hard for for several years, especially when he was transferred to another place when chaos broke out during his tenure.

"Guo Xing said, before this incident broke out, Zaijiu had done very well in Chaozhou; after this incident, Zaijiu was not sentimental, and was completely public-minded in his dealings, which is even more rare. This matter was originally

I brought it, Zaijiu has shouldered the responsibility for me for so long, now it’s time for me to come back and take up the responsibility.”

After leaving the city for ten miles, they bid farewell to Ye Yiyun. Chen Kai summoned the local gentry, wealthy households, and village elders to gather at the Yamen of the prefecture of Chaozhou. The flags of Su Li's command were displayed in front of them.

In front of his eyes, especially Su Li's head, his eyes widened with anger. From the moment he opened the brocade box, the only sound left in the lobby was heavy breathing.

"Mr. Chen's ingenious plan to kill these giant bandits is really a blessing to the people of Chaozhou."

"The giant bandit Suli is causing trouble, and it's all thanks to Mr. Chen and Master Wang to eliminate the harm for the people. We are deeply touched by this."

"..."

The son of the old Jin gentry who originally planned to betroth his granddaughter to Chen Kai was the first to react, and immediately the sound of compliments filled the hall.

However, in the tide of flattery, Chen Kai's right corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and his eyes were calm, and he just looked at them. Gradually, the embarrassment began to cover up the joy that he had forced out, and the scene changed again.

The state of waiting for breath to be audible.

Just looking at the people present, his gaze seemed to have the power to penetrate hair, skin, and penetrate directly into people's hearts. Maybe everyone became at a loss under Chen Kai's gaze.

In the silent lobby, the air seemed to be condensing rapidly. When I glanced out of the courtyard, I saw that the people standing upright were not government officials, but groups of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. The cold light on their weapons flickered, and the fear in their chests was even worse.

Looking back, looking at everyone, they are nothing like themselves. And Chen Kai's eyes are still like needles. As long as he touches them even slightly, he will immediately be pierced and look away.

Sweat beads gradually condensed on the surface of the skin, making it so clammy that people always wanted to wipe it off, but no one dared to make a move. Several leading gentry had already begun to make eye contact, but no one dared to speak easily.

I don't know how long this scene lasted. It was not until Chen Kai picked up the tea cup on the table that it finally came to an end, but it also pushed the sense of oppression to the extreme.

"Su Li can be so rampant now just because he has caught up with Guo Xingye and I can't take care of him for the time being. Otherwise, he would be just like Wu Liuqi and Xu Long, which is really not worth mentioning. What happened in Chaozhou, I saw it in the past few months
