The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

For Lin Tianshuai, the main task today is to talk to the sixth prince Shun Hejun and observe Shunhe Jun's character head-on.

As for meeting the leaders of the rebels and the guards of Jingcheng, it was all incidental.

If they comply, then make certain arrangements for them; if they have other ideas, then make arrangements directly for them. The Valley of Ten Thousand People in Changde Mountain can still accommodate a lot of people.

Anyway, these affairs related to fighting against the Five Scum Rebels are not worth the trouble for Tianshuai.

Back in the inner courtyard, Jin Shunbin was already waiting in the room, her face a little nervous, just like her mother waiting outside the examination room in future generations.

"How is my son?" Jin Shunbin asked with a pen.

Lin Tailai also wrote and replied: "Better than Linhaijun, he can still be cultivated."

Shun Hejun seems to be a very vindictive young man. He starts talking about being bullied by his eldest and second brothers when someone supports him, but he is not a scheming person.

The main reason is that Shunhejun is young and has plasticity (easily brainwashed), which is an advantage over the fully grown princes.

Jin Shunbin was finally relieved. If Tianshuai had a bad impression of his son, all his efforts these days would be in vain.

Then Jin Shunbin asked: "How will Tianshuai deal with Lord Linhai?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Send him to reunite with his father."

Jin Shunbin: ""

This seems strange. Isn't that what you mean?

Anyway, no matter what, it must be that Lord Linhai is sent away, leaving only Lord Shunhe to support him.

Then Jin Shunbin served Lin Tianshuai rice and soup with her own hands, and personally served Tianshuai like a virtuous wife.

She could see that Lin Tianshuai was a bit soft-spoken, and it would definitely be a plus if he was full of considerate and pleasing details.

After Lin Tailai drank the hot soup, he wrote: "The army is about to go south. You, mother and son, and your loyal companions will follow us first."

Jin Shunbin asked curiously: "Where are you going?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Huang Haidao, how about asking you to return home in fine clothes?"

Jin Shunbin was overjoyed and spoke the Chinese she had just learned, which was the Suzhou Wu dialect version: "Thank you so much for your kindness, Marshal Tian!"

Suddenly hearing a hometown dialect, Lin Tailai was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "I'm interested."

No wonder this girl's nickname is "Shun", her external characteristics take "gentleness and gentleness" to the extreme.

The Hamgyong Province rebels were classified as rebels and the policy of supporting the Sixth Prince Soon Hwa Jun was determined. For Lin Tianshuai, this phase of Hamgyong Province's affairs was over.

Ju Jingren, the president of the Maintenance Association, and Han Kexuan, the commander-in-chief of the Loyalty and Salvation Army, will take care of the rest of the trivial matters.

Then another column of Ming Dynasty officers and troops were left to monitor the Maintenance Council and the Loyalty and Salvation Army.

As for the development of the Jiashan Copper Mine, the results will not come out in the next few days.

After completing the deployment concept, Lin Tianshuai was ready to set off south. The army only has half a month's supply of food and fodder left and cannot continue to consume it in Jizhou.

At present, regardless of sea or land, the main logistics routes are still on the Ping'an Road and Huanghai Road on the west line.

He leads the army all the way south, exits Hamgyong Road, and then heads west into Hwanghae Road, where he can receive logistics supplies.

Before leaving, Lin Tailai specially summoned Yang Shanshan who had made great achievements in Hamhung Prefecture and was still recovering from his injuries.

"The organization has decided to keep you in Hamhung Road. We will allocate you three thousand troops and horses, and twelve hundred stones of military rations."

Yang Shanshan didn't know for a while whether this job was good or bad, but the military order was overwhelming and he could only accept it.

Lin Tailai then gave instructions: "From now on, General Han Kexuan of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army will be in Jingcheng in the north, Ju Jingren, chairman of the Maintenance Association, in Hamhung Prefecture in the south, and you will lead the troops stationed in Jizhou in the middle and monitor the north and south at the same time."

Yang Dengden also stepped into the role and repeatedly said "yes".

Finally, Lin Tailai gave another task: "Jizhou is the closest place to Jiashan County in the mountainous area. Currently, the only official road from Jiashan County to the outside world is Jizhou.

I clearly learned that there is a huge copper mine in Jiashan!

In the past year, you will first try to renovate the road to Jiashan, complete the survey according to the location I designated, and at the same time evaluate the water transportation from Jiashan downstream along the Yalu River.

These are preliminary preparations, and large-scale mining will definitely be carried out in the future. "

Yang Shanshan had a grimace on his face. He was a strong general who only knew how to fight. Why should he take on such a task?

Lin Tailai patted Yang Shanshan and pointed upward and said: "This is a project that the emperor is directly concerned about, so work hard!"

On November 23, except for the 3,000 soldiers and horses of Yang Shanshan's troops, the 6,000 troops of the Sanbiao Battalion, the remaining 14,000 troops of the Magui Second Corps, and the 10,000 troops of Dong Yiyuan's First Corps all went south. .

The "Report of Imjin's Restoration of the Nation" recorded in later generations of this time and space records: "Under the careful planning of Ju Jingren, who saved the country through a curve, Lin Tianshuai tore Kato Kiyomasa with his hands, and the remaining Japanese pirates abandoned the city and fled in panic.

In another curve, General Han Kek-cheon, who saved the country, laid an ambush in Jangdeok Mountain and wiped out 8,000 escaping Japanese soldiers. He was then responsible for wiping out the rebels and effectively supported Cheonshuai in regaining Hamgyeong Province.

After the war, under the entrustment of Tianshuai, Ju Jingren and Han Kexuan, a pair of civil and military figures who saved the country, made outstanding contributions to the restoration of normal production and living order in Hamgyong Province. "

"Wanli Dichao Renchen Volume" says: "After planning Lin Tailai's attack on Jizhou, he did not get there first, but he killed the enemy general Kato Kiyomasa in front of the formation and hung his body to frighten the Japanese soldiers.

The morale of the Japanese soldiers was greatly shattered, and they offered the city to surrender, and Jizhou City was completely recovered. Lin Tailai entered the city to rescue Linhaijun, the eldest son of the King of Korea, his sixth son Shunhejun, and Shunhejun's biological mother Shunconcubine.

Later, Lin Tailai sent Lin Haijun to the King of Korea in Kuandianbao, Liaodong, and took Sun Hejun and his mother in the army to appease various places along the way.

In addition, Lin Tailai originally settled the surrendered soldiers in Changdeok Mountain. A few days later, the Korean soldiers disobeyed the military order and slaughtered all 8,000 surrendered soldiers. Lin Tailai regretted it deeply. ”

After marching for several days, Lin Tailai arrived at the southernmost tip of Hamgyong Province and joined Master Wei Zheng and 700 monks. Further south was Gangwon Province.

Cheorwon and Jincheng in the northern part of Gangwon Province were famous places in the war history hundreds of years later, but they were not the main direction of Lin Tianshuai at that time.

Lin Tailai ordered Ma Gui to lead the Second Corps of 14,000 people to garrison Wonsan in the southernmost part of Hamgyong Province to monitor the Gangwon Province Shimazu Corps.

And Lin Tailai and Jinglüe Biaoying and Dong Yiyuan's Third Corps of 16,000 people turned southeast and continued to march.

Two days later, they arrived at Gushan, which is located in the northeastern corner of Hwanghae Province and at the junction of the four provinces of Pyeongan, Hwanghae, Hamgyong and Gangwon.

At this time, it was exactly December.

In Gushan, Lin Jinglüe resumed direct contact with Li Rusong's Corps on the western front and learned the details of Li Rusong's Corps in the past month. Intelligence, especially the details of the Battle of Pyeongjegwan in this time and space twenty days ago.

However, Lin Tailai did not go south directly to Kaesong, one of the three capitals of Korea, where Li Rusong is now stationed. Instead, he sent a sign to inform all places that he would go west to Fengshan.

Fengshan is located at the junction of Pyongyang and Hwanghae Province. It is also a transportation hub between Pyongyang and Kaesong. Luo Shangzhi, the general of the Southern Camp, is stationed here.

Now that there is no war for the time being, the civil and military officials of the two western fronts went to Fengshan to pay homage to the General of the Imperial Guards who had been away for forty days.

For example, Li Rusong, the commander of the First Corps, Liu Chenglong, the leader of the South Korean Party, the Three Provinces Inspector, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Military, and Zheng Renhong, the leader of the North Korean Party and the leader of the Righteous Army, all came to Fengshan as soon as possible.

Lin Tailai lay on the couch, lazily flipping through several visiting cards, and then turned to Sunbin and asked, "When will your father arrive?"

Sunbin replied in awkward Chinese, "The next day. "

Lin Tailai threw down the visiting cards in his hand, "See your father first, let them wait!"

At this time, Shunpin's oral expression ability was not enough, so she picked up the pen and asked, "Who else wants to see you?"

Lin Tailai picked up the pen and answered, "Li Rusong, Liu Chenglong, Zheng Renhong."

Seeing these names, Shunpin was shocked and wrote in panic, "My father dare not go first! "

Of these three people, Li Rusong is the general second only to Tianshuai in the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Chenglong and Zheng Renhong are both top figures in the small court of the Joseon Dynasty in the current chaos, and the leaders of the Southern Party and the Northern Party.

Although his father is also a scholar-official of the two classes, he is not good enough compared to these three people.

If Tianshuai makes these three top leaders wait in order to see his father first, his father will have a hard time in the future.

And will it make others think that he is arrogant because of his favor, triggering an unpredictable chain reaction?

Lin Tianshuai snorted coldly and wrote: "Don't panic, just leave them alone first! Some people can't be beaten without a knock."

Kim Sunbin can understand Chinese characters, so she curiously glanced at the visiting cards and asked: "What's wrong with these people's respectful words?"

Lin Tianshuai replied very dissatisfiedly: "The biggest problem is that these three people actually sent visiting cards together to ask for an audience!

Or should Liu Chenglong and Zheng Renhong, the two Koreans, come to see me alone, instead of following Li Rusong to see me!

This is the problem! It means that the two of them have become close to Li Rusong and subconsciously began to follow Li Rusong's actions!

According to my inference, they should have become familiar with Li Rusong during the month I was in Hamgyong Province, and they also took a fancy to the influence of Li Rusong's family in Liaodong!

After all, Liaodong is close to North Korea, and it is beneficial to make friends with Liaodong strongmen. ”

Kim Sunbin: “”

Is this the powerful minister of the Celestial Empire? His sensitivity to human affairs is so terrifying!

With just a few visiting cards, he can imagine such a detailed picture of interpersonal relationships!

Can we judge whether a person is rebellious by looking at whether he steps in with his left foot or right foot first?

Lin Tailai sighed, and he began to miss the pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child, Gu Jingren and Han Kezhen. The experiment in Hamgyong Province proved that court traitors are more useful than court officials.

He still regretted that when he first entered the court two months ago, he watched and even encouraged Liu Chenglong to kill hundreds of so-called court traitors in Pyeongan Province.

At that time, his thinking was not clear , but he didn't realize the usefulness of court traitors, and wasted hundreds of lives in vain.

If he had saved these court traitors and used them for his own benefit, that would have been fine. Why would he have used "remnants of the previous dynasty" like Liu Chenglong!

It's really unpredictable, and there are always times to regret in life.

Jin Shunbin's father was called Jin Anle. After the Japanese invasion, he abandoned his official position and hid back in his hometown. It didn't matter what official position he had before, because he didn't have it anyway.

The original place was Yan'an County, Hwanghae Province. It is said that the Yan'an Jin family was also a famous family in the Joseon Kingdom.

The next day, after Lin Tailai got up, he asked Jin Shunbin while dressing: "Is there no real big man in your family?"

Jin Shunbin replied a little ashamedly: "There was one decades ago, but it was dragged down and disappeared in recent years."

Lin Tailai asked curiously: "What's the situation? How can a powerful minister drag down the family? ”

Jin Sunbin replied: “Decades ago, the Yan’an Jin family had a powerful official named Jin Anlao, who was a top scholar. His power and reputation in our country were probably similar to that of Yan Gelao in the Ming Dynasty, but he did not have a good end.”

Lin Tailai: “”

To be able to reach the level of Yan Gelao is also a talent. It seems that your Yan’an Jin family has good genes.

Originally, Lin Tailai wanted to meet Jin Anle in the inner courtyard, but Concubine Shun refused to let her go and pushed Lin Tailai to the front hall.

This Jin Anle is an old man in his fifties, who is very reserved in front of Tianshuai.

Or maybe it was embarrassment. He really didn't know how to speak to a handsome man who had ruined his daughter. The key was that his daughter was the concubine of the king of his own country!

From the perspective of etiquette, one should rebuke him harshly and angrily, but from a practical perspective, one should kneel down and lick him. Normal people would be embarrassed and at a loss what to do.

After Lin Tianshuai exchanged pleasantries, he had nothing to say.

After thinking about it, I decided to let the little old man open his eyes and see the world first, and then open the topic.

So Lin Tianshuai gave Jin Anle a seat first and asked Li Rusong, Liu Chenglong and Zheng Renhong to come in.

After the three people entered the hall, they saluted Tianshuai and looked curiously at Jin Anle, who was sitting beside him.

I can't understand, what kind of person is this person that has priority over the three of them? Is there a seat for those who ride horses?

Judging from the anxious expression on this little old man's face, he doesn't look like a big shot.

Bang! Lin Tianshuai slammed the case hard and shouted angrily: "Li! Ru! Song!"

General Li subconsciously responded: "The last general is here!"

Then he was confused and confused, Mr. Jinglue, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?

Lin Jinglue pointed at Li Rusong like a halberd and scolded him sharply: "You have read military books since you were a child and are familiar with the tactics of war. I have repeatedly warned you that the troops will stop at Kaicheng!"

You knew clearly that there were tens of thousands of enemy troops ahead, but you rushed forward with thousands of horsemen. You were frustrated at Bi Tie Pavilion, causing heavy casualties to the officers and soldiers, with nearly 2,000 killed. The morale you had previously gathered was immediately depressed!

If you had listened to what I said earlier, would you have been in such trouble? It is all your fault that the defeated army lost its generals and depleted its morale!

If you don't know the rules of the army, how can you serve the people? "

Li Rusong lowered his head in shame. These words really hit his heart, making him feel distressed again.

But it's strange, why do these words sound familiar? Seem to have seen it somewhere?

Damn it! Cui Wukui, who was in charge of on-site translation, was the first to react and quickly advised:

"In the past, Chu killed his ministers and Duke Wen was happy. Now that Korea is uncertain, wouldn't it be a pity to kill the generals who led the army?"

General Li: ""

The blank eyes became clear again, my good brother, what did you mean by the joke about killing Ma Su with tears?

What about scaring people? This joke is a bit big, there are outsiders here, give me some face!
