The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

When Kato Kiyomasa's body was tied to a high wooden frame and displayed in front of the Japanese soldiers guarding the city, the morale of the Japanese soldiers collapsed.

Originally, there was no hope in being trapped in the isolated city, but the general who relied on him as his spiritual support died violently and his body was left hanging. The despair and helplessness quickly spread.

Although Kato Kiyomasa has always trained his soldiers as beasts, beasts can also have fear and even react more strongly.

According to the logic of beasts, when desperate, they will often massacre the weaker ones.

But at this time, there were no civilians in Jizhou City. In addition to 10,000 Japanese soldiers, there were only 2,000 traitor "puppet troops" left, as well as several family members, as well as the two captured princes of the Korean King and relevant accompanying officials.

At the beginning, Kato Kiyomasa allowed these two thousand "puppet troops" because he did not have enough troops.

The general of the "puppet army" was Han Keqian, the former military envoy to the North of Hamgyong Province. After being defeated and captured, he surrendered to Kato Kiyomasa. Together with Ju Jingren, he was one of the two great traitors in Hamgyong Province, both civil and military.

With morale completely collapsed, some Japanese soldiers who lost their minds raised their butcher knives to kill the traitors and puppet troops.

But at this time, in order to save their lives and their families, the traitors actually showed a small burst of fighting power. After paying the price of hundreds of casualties, the camp was firmly defended.

After all, compared to the Japanese soldiers who were so desperate that they had no other options, Chaojiao still had hope and faith in his heart.

I heard that the Heavenly Soldiers could even take in Lord Ju Jingren, and I also heard that Lord Ju Jingren became a military advisor there.

So as long as they persist until they surrender to the heavenly soldiers, they, the traitors, may still have a way to survive.

Under the guidance of the corpse of Kato Kiyomasa, the south gate of Jizhou was quickly breached, and Shobayashi Hayato, one of the three heroes of the Kato family, died at the gate.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were now familiar with the task. After breaking the city, they quickly sealed all the city gates and then prepared to use the Great Flame Technique.

Ma Gui, the commander of the Second Corps, briefly inspected the fire starter, and then discussed with Dong Yiyuan of the Third Corps to divide the troops into two groups to "send warmth" in the city.

At this moment, a Japanese general suddenly appeared not far away with a general, shouting that he would surrender.

Ma Gui's subordinate, Bao Sai, recognized the Japanese general. He pointed with gritted teeth and said, "The Japanese general who came to the camp to negotiate earlier is this person. His name is Morimoto Rikishi!"

At that time, Morimoto Rikishi came to negotiate on Kato's order, and the tall Pao Sai pretended to be Lin Jinglue to receive him, so he recognized him.

At that time, Rikishi Morimoto was so arrogant and deliberately provocative that he was so angry that he almost stabbed someone.

Ma Gui was a little embarrassed and muttered: "Didn't you say that the Japanese soldiers would resist to the end after breaking the city and would not surrender?"

It would save trouble and trouble to just burn him to death, but it would be much more troublesome to accept the surrender. Mr. Ma's current thinking mode is gradually becoming like that of Lin Jinglue.

At this time, the general over there shouted again: "Linhaijun and Shunhejun, the two princes of the Korean Kingdom, as well as Shun concubine and accompanying ministers are all in the city. I am willing to return this generation to the heavenly soldiers!"

After hearing this, Dong Yiyuan said to Ma Gui: "It is not up to us to decide whether to accept the surrender. We will go back to the army first."

Ma Gui nodded. When it comes to the prince of Korea, it is not a purely military issue. Unable to bear this political responsibility on his own, he could only ask Lin Junmen for instructions.

Lin Jinglue, who had completed the achievement of "killing generals", did not directly participate in the siege. Instead, he set up a temporary tent to rest outside the city upwind.

After hearing the news that the Japanese general had asked to surrender, Lin Tailai was sure that the two princes of North Korea were now in Jizhou City, and he suddenly became a little confused.

It's not that we're afraid of the Japanese soldiers pretending to surrender. It's completely meaningless now.

We could have just used the old method of setting fire to the whole place without thinking too much, but it was embarrassing for the Japanese to bring the prince of Korea to surrender.

Of course, Lin Tianshuai doesn't care about the life or death of the North Korean prince. Even if he is dead, he will be impeached again at most.

However, Linhaejun was the eldest son of the King of Joseon, and he was not favored and was not appointed as crown prince, so his value as a political pawn was very high.

This person is a perfect excuse to interfere in North Korea's internal affairs. It would be a pity if he was "burned together".

However, if we accept the surrender of nearly 10,000 Japanese soldiers, the subsequent consequences will be very difficult. There is really no food to feed so many surrendered soldiers.

As for accepting surrender first and then looking for opportunities to kill them all, this is also very troublesome.

"Killing and surrendering" has not been a good reputation since ancient times. There is no need to bear this reputation. From the perspective of interests, the gains outweigh the losses.

Moreover, if the "killing and surrender" incident spreads, the Japanese soldiers encountered in the future will probably fight to the death, which will not be a good thing in the long run.

Lin Tianshuai was also thinking that in the future, when conditions permit, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers would be captured as laborers to mine. If they refused to surrender, how would they get prisoners?

Political issues are always more difficult to decide than military issues. Just as Lin Tianshuai was thinking about it, Ju Jingren, a court traitor who had already appointed the president of the Hamjing Dao Maintenance Association, poked his head outside the tent again.

"Let it go if you have anything to do!" Lin Tailai scolded impatiently.

Ju Jingren hurriedly said: "Just now, a few local officers and soldiers in the city contacted me. They said that there are four thousand dan of food in the city!"

Lin Tailai secretly lamented that Ju Jingren was indeed a smart person and knew very well what Lin Jinglue was most interested in.

Four thousand stones! Lin Tianshuai felt a little excited when he heard this number.

If there were four thousand more dans of military rations, then the thirty thousand troops he brought to Xianjing Road would be able to survive for at least another twenty days, and the strategic room for maneuver would be even greater.

Lin Tianshuai had never thought that he would be excited to get thousands of dan of grain one day.

In Suzhou, the Lin Group controlled the Jinong Warehouse in the city, which had a year-round grain storage of about 100,000 dan. When did Lin Zuoguan take 4,000 dan seriously?

But in Hamgyong Province, which was considered a remote borderland of the Joseon capital, and had just experienced a war, 4,000 dan of grain was so precious.

With "4,000 dan of grain" as a weight, the balance in Lin Tianshuai's heart finally tilted to one side.

It would be fine if the Joseon princes were to perish together, but if there was a chance, the 4,000 dan of grain should be preserved as much as possible.

"Order, accept the surrender of the Japanese soldiers! But let the Japanese soldiers send the captured Joseon princes and ministers first!" Lin Tailai made a decision and immediately ordered.

Ju Jingren couldn't help but remind him: "There is also a Shunpin."

Lin Tailai didn't care and added casually: "Oh, there is also a Shunpin. Ju Jingren, you go and take charge of receiving it."

Ju Jingren: ""

Tianshuai, are you serious? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed to death?

These people were all kidnapped by me and offered to the Japanese pirates. This is my biggest black history!

Now I am asked to take these people back face to face. Can I still save my face?

Lin Tailai urged without question: "Go! You just want to let some people know who has the final say here through your appearance!"

Now Lin Tianshuai is increasingly finding that the indicator of Ju Jingren, the court traitor, is of great significance.

By using Ju Jingren, he can express some deep meanings that he is not convenient to say publicly.

Smart people should be able to understand his thoughts when they see that Lin Tailai reuses the court traitor Ju Jingren. It is the subtle thoughts of not wanting to return the ruling power of the recovered places to the small court of the Joseon Dynasty.

After sending Ju Jingren to do the work, Lin Tianshuai continued to order: "There is a mountain called Changde Mountain five miles east of the city. Let all the surrendered soldiers lay down their weapons and leave the city to camp at Changde Mountain!"

It seems that this order is also normal. Nearly 10,000 surrendered soldiers cannot still gather in the city, and it is reasonable to arrange a camp separately.

After accepting the surrender of the Japanese soldiers, the battle of Jizhou in Hamgyong Province basically ended smoothly. This was the third large-scale battle that Lin Tianshuai personally commanded after entering the DPRK.

After conquering Pyongyang Prefecture in one day and one night and conquering Hamheung Prefecture in two days and one night, Lin Tianshuai created the results of conquering Jizhou in three days and annihilating the enemy.

In this battle, the Ming official army directly killed more than 1,000 enemies and captured more than 8,000 enemy troops.

The commander of the second corps of the Japanese army, the direct confidant of the Japanese Guanbai, and the first daimyo of the Kumamoto domain of Higo Province, Kato Kiyomasa, was killed by Lin Tailai in front of the battle, literally "by his own hand".

After three battles in the two northern provinces, Lin Tianshuai has annihilated more than 37,000 Japanese soldiers.

It is also worth mentioning that Jizhou City did not suffer from the "war" like Pyongyang City and Hamhung City, and was relatively well preserved.

Therefore, Lin Tianshuai, who shines like the sun, saves the people of the peninsula from fire and water, rebuilds the vassal state, and has a great achievement like Changbai Mountain, and whose kindness can never be repaid, does not have to camp outside the city and can live in the house in the city safely.

(Note: At this time, the Changbai Mountain mentioned by the Kingdom of Korea refers to the Changbai Mountain in Jingcheng, Hamgyong Province, which is the highest peak in Hamgyong Province, not the Changbai Mountain at the border between China and North Korea in later generations.

Because the King Taizu of the Joseon Dynasty was born in Hamgyong Province, the Changbai Mountain in Jingcheng was given a certain political color. The Koreans have a poem that says: The mountain comes from Changbai Mountain and King Taizu was born.)

The local chief official set up by the Kingdom of Korea at the state level is called the governor. After Lin Tianshuai entered the city, he set up the headquarters of the Jinglüe Shogunate in the original governor's office.

After taking a comfortable hot bath in a small wooden barrel, Lin Tailai's body and mind were greatly relaxed, but he regretted that there was no opposite sex to help him bathe.

From the west coast, crossing the 400-mile mountainous area to the east coast, and entering Hamhung Province as a lone army, it was indeed a certain risk.

Although Lin Tailai was always calm and composed in front of others, he was always walking on thin ice in his heart, fearing that he would bury more than 30,000 troops because of his wrong decision.

Now that the Japanese army's second corps in Hamgyong Province has been completely wiped out, Lin Tianshuai can finally relax temporarily.

Although most of Hamgyong Province has not been touched, it is only a matter of "deciding by sending an order", and there is no need to send troops at all.

Now all the cities are still guarded by the court traitors who have surrendered to the Japanese pirates, but with Ju Jingren, the "thousand-dollar horse bone", the court traitors in each city should understand who to choose as the new master.

If you don't turn your back on Tianshuai, who is wise and powerful, shining like the sun, and towering like Changbai Mountain, are you waiting to be liquidated by the small court of the Joseon Dynasty?

Just as Lin Tailai was thinking about how to improve the food today, Ma Gui came in again to ask for instructions.

"There were originally 2,000 Korean soldiers who surrendered to the Japanese pirates in the city. They didn't want to go to the prisoner camp like the Japanese soldiers, and they clamored to serve the army.

Han Kezhen, the general of this group of Korean puppet army, is now outside the gate, kneeling for an audience."

At this moment, there are quite a lot of people who want to see Lin Tianshuai. Ju Jingren and the eldest prince of the Korean king, Lin Haijun, want to come to pay a visit.

Lin Tailai was too lazy to entertain them in batches, so he simply called them in to meet them.

So Ju Jingren, who sold the prince to the Japanese pirates, the eldest prince Lin Haijun, and the puppet army general Han Kezhen who surrendered to the Japanese pirates gathered together, and the atmosphere in the room seemed a little awkward.

Lin Tianshuai didn't care about it. As long as he didn't feel embarrassed, then others would be embarrassed.

In Lin Tianshuai's eyes, several people were the same, regardless of high or low, but he still gave Lin Haijun, who was only 20 years old, a seat. After all, he was the eldest prince of the Korean Kingdom.

Han Kexuan, who was lagging behind the most in terms of "progress", knelt on the ground and begged: "A villain can be like Ju Jingren and serve Tianshuai!"

Lin Tianshuai frowned and said, "The headquarters does not raise useless people! Kato can use you because he lacks major generals, but the headquarters does not lack soldiers and generals, so there is no need for you."

Han Kechu quickly explained: "The villain was used by Kato not because the villain was loyal to Kato, but because Kato stole the villain's two daughters to sleep with him.

If Tianshuai doesn't dislike it, the villain can transfer his two daughters to Tianshuai to relieve his fatigue! "

Lin Tailai: ""

Who are these people? If you don’t go to the peninsula, you really don’t know how many wonderful things there are.

Did you take the initiative to give your two daughters to Kato Kiyomasa, or were they taken away by Kato Kiyomasa? This is hard to say, right?

However, it has been dry for more than a month, and now my spirit has suddenly relaxed, and I do feel a little hungry.

Ju Jingren suddenly jumped out and shouted: "Han Kexuan, what are you talking about! What kind of person is Tianshuai, how can he accept such an unclean woman who has been humiliated by a thief!"

Then he said to Lin Tailai: "Tian Shuai, please don't be deceived by Han Ke Chuan! When I turn around, I will immediately introduce a more outstanding woman to Tian Shuai. She will definitely be a hundred times more outstanding than Han Ke Chuan's two daughters!"

Han Kexuan couldn't bear it anymore and cursed Ju Jingren in Korean. Ju Jingren kept retorting and started scolding him on the spot.

It seems that these two great traitors, both civil and military, from Hamgyeong Province have a long-standing grudge.

Lin Tianshuai covered his face. Could it be that he could only rely on these insects to govern North Korea?

Protector Zuo Zhang Wen, who was standing nearby, shouted forward: "That's enough! Be quiet!"

Han Kexuan kowtowed with tears in his eyes: "I don't know what it means to be useful, and I don't know what to do to be useful.

I just know that from now on, whatever Tianshuai lets him use, he will do whatever he asks. It is the greatest honor to be Tianshuai’s dog. "

Damn it! Lin Tianshuai was shocked. Based on this realization, he would be sorry for being a dog even if he didn't accept this famous saying.

So Lin Tailai told Han Kechu: "In this case, there is something that I cannot do personally, but I can delegate it to you.

If you do well, you will be the commander-in-chief of the Hamgyong-do Chungui National Salvation Army! "

Ju Jingren sarcastically said, "There are some wild dogs running around without even knowing who their owners are."

Linhaijun, the eldest prince of Korea, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, snorted coldly and walked away.

Maybe the young man is a little arrogant, or maybe he doesn't want to see the ugly faces of these two traitors.

Lin Tailai looked at Linhaijun's back, turned to Ju Jingren and said, "Your behavior just now was a bit deliberate. Did you want to deliberately anger Linhaijun?

Then make Lord Linhai behave rudely in front of the Headquarters, and make the Headquarters feel bad about Lord Linhai? "

A few drops of cold sweat broke out on Ju Jingren's forehead. He didn't expect the mighty Tianshuai to be so sensitive to political struggles!
