The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Finally, after repeated consideration, Lin Tianshuai decided to lease ports from Korea, although it would cost some money to maintain these ports for a long time.

From a commercial perspective, due to Korea's poverty, if the ports are not used as smuggling transit points, the commercial benefits they can bring are not great, and maintaining several ports for a long time will probably be a loss.

But these ports have another value, located on the waterway between the north and Japan.

The navigation technology of this era is limited, and the safest route is still to follow the coastline and islands closely.

Starting from Tianjin Wei and Shandong in the north of the Ming Dynasty, you can first go to Liaodong, and then continue along the coastline of Korea to the southwest. After passing Korea and Tsushima Island, you can reach the western part of Kyushu Island in Japan.

And West Kyushu is the territory of Konishi Yukinaga, a double-conferred million-stone daimyo, and it is also the bridgehead for the Ming Dynasty's influence to extend to the interior of Japan.

Originally, this waterway across the three countries was of no value, or no one had the ability to connect the three countries, but it is hard to say in the future.

Friends who often play politics know that any treaty between countries itself has no credibility, and the implementation of any unequal treaty requires military force as an endorsement.

It is for this reason that some of the heavenly soldiers were sent to escort Konishi Yukinaga back to western Kyushu to take up his fiefdom early, and it is also a deterrent to some extent.

In order to ensure the implementation of the "Pusan ​​Treaty" in the future and the timely receipt of 400,000 taels of silver each year, the Ming Dynasty must ensure the ability to deploy military forces to the Japanese mainland.

In this context, the Korean port located on the waterway between the elite border troops in the north of the Ming Dynasty and the silver-rich Japan has another value.

Through this war, the old international order in Northeast Asia has been torn apart by Lin Tianshuai.

The situation of mutual closure between countries has also been opened up by this Korean War.

Some people say that war is a catalyst for the process of civilization, which is indeed true.

If it were any other commander, due to the limitations of the times, war would be war, and they would return to the court after the battle.

But the biggest advantage of a time traveler like Lin Tianshuai is that he knows in which direction the war should be directed and how to make the war serve politics and economy.

Then things went according to plan. Every time Japan sent a batch of silver, Tianshuai would let a batch of Japanese soldiers return home.

The last days of the war were not vigorous, but rather dull.

By the end of July, Lin Tianshuai sent away the last batch of Japanese soldiers and the general Tokugawa Ieyasu.

At this time, there were no more Japanese pirates on the territory of Korea, and the war of Ming Dynasty to aid Korea was completely over.

So the Ming soldiers were ready to return to the court. The Li Rusong, Ma Gui, and Dong Yiyuan Corps, which entered Korea the earliest, were tired and withdrew to the country first.

The Li Shu Corps and Chen Lin Navy, which came to Korea to participate in the war this year, were temporarily responsible for the garrison affairs of Incheon, Busan and other Korean ports and Western Kyushu of Japan, waiting for subsequent rotation.

After sending Tokugawa Ieyasu away, Lin Tianshuai stared at the sea level for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.

Shen Weijing had already followed Konishi Yukinaga to Western Kyushu, Japan, and Cui Wukui became Lin Tianshuai's main attendant.

"What are you thinking about?" Cui Wukui couldn't help but ask Lin Tianshuai, who was staring at the sea.

Lin Tianshuai said leisurely: "I'm wondering, who will rule Japan in the future?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi will not live for many years. After Hideyoshi dies, his young son will only be a few years old, and Japan will definitely be in civil strife.

I don't know who will win the world of Japan in the end."

Mainly, Lin Tianshuai is also very curious. The situation in Japan has been messed up by himself. If there is another Battle of Sekihara in the future, who will win?

The Western Army has Konishi Yukinaga, who is ten times fatter than in history. Can the Eastern Army's Tokugawa Dainagon still win?

Cui Wukui flattered him, saying, "The Marshal has the whole world in his heart, and he is really too worried. He even has to consider the affairs of Japan."

"Okay, let's not talk about Japan!" Lin Tianshuai put it aside for the time being, "Let's talk about the affairs of Korea first. If we want to lease a few ports, who should we talk to?"

In Lin Tianshuai's eyes, Korea now has only two values, one is the minerals in the north, and the other is the ports on the west and south coasts.

Other things, such as land, farmland, etc., cannot be said to be worthless, but they can also be said to be useless.

Others, Japan, can still compensate hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, but you, Korea, can only supply 80,000 shi of grain and grass, which is the order of magnitude of farmland along the Xujiang River in Wuxian, Suzhou Prefecture.

Cui Wukui replied, "After the treaty with Japan was signed, Tianshuai released the king and ministers of Korea to return to the royal capital, Seoul.

When Tianshuai returns to his country and passes by Seoul, he will talk to the small court of the Joseon Dynasty."

Half a month later, Lin Tianshuai arrived in Seoul again and stayed in Muhua Pavilion outside Donyi Gate, the west gate of Seoul.

The envoy who was in charge of receiving Lin Tianshuai was an old acquaintance, Li Dexin, the Minister of Personnel of the Kingdom of Korea, who was also one of the few high-ranking officials of the Kingdom of Korea who had dealt with Lin Tianshuai and was not killed.

Lin Tianshuai said dissatisfiedly: "The last time I came to Seoul, I stayed in the West Palace, but this time I was only allowed to stay in the Muhua Pavilion?"

Li Dexin replied tiredly: "The three palaces in our capital were destroyed, so the West Palace has been converted into a separate palace. It is currently occupied by our king. It is really inconvenient to invite Tianshuai to stay."

Lin Tianshuai said very generously: "I am not a person who cares about pomp and circumstance, so it is fine to live in the Muhua Pavilion.

I heard that several envoys of the Ming Dynasty who were the top scholars have lived here, so it is not an insult to me."

Seeing that Lin Tianshuai was so good this time, Li Dexin was relieved.

Then I heard Tian Shuai said, "However, it is not that I must pick it up. The king of your country does not come to the labor army.

It should be noted that our Tianbing has just helped your country to defeat the pirates. For you, Li Chao is a tide to fall down, and you have the grace of reconstruction of your country!

The attitude of the valuable king is so indifferent, and it is really called the official army! "

Li Dexin: "."

Is the so -called re -creation of Ethics in Lin Tianshuai? How many ports do you have to have?

As for other disadvantages such as slaughter of civil and military officials such as North Korea, I don't say it.

After Lin Tianshuai complained, he said, "Forget it, I am not rare that the monarchs and ministers are grateful for a few words.

Tomorrow, let a person who can do the master and talk about renting the port. "

Hearing this, Li Dexin quickly slipped, and the danger coefficient of dealing with Tian Shuai was too high.

By the next day, Zheng Che, the leader of the North Korean country today, came to Muhua Pavilion in person early in the morning to visit Lin Tian Shuai.

This is also a person who has a relationship with Lin Tianshuai, and it is also the most famous poet in the Korean country. The work is known as the Korean country.

Lin Tianshuai said to Zheng Che while eating breakfast, "How? There is no one else in the court of your elementary school, or do you send your old family?"

The status of leading politics in North Korea is similar to the Shoufu, and it is indeed the most suitable candidate for the back pot.

Zheng Che said in anger: "Everyone with enough weight in the country is dead, and I am not far from death, so I come!"

Yin Doushou, the western party, was killed by the Yalu River. The leader of the South Party party Liu Chenglong was killed because of his "rebellion" in Pyongyang.

There are really few people who can carry black pots.

Lin Tianshuai said tolerant: "I don't embarrass you, just rent three ports. The specific survey is to be determined, and Daming has the right to take the army and judicial in the concession.

Zheng Che asked again: "Rent geometry?"

Lin Tianshuai glanced at: "Your country still wants to rent? Each port is one hundred and two every year, no matter how much, don't roll it!"

Although it was finally reached an agreement to the concession port, Tian Shuai never felt the gratitude from AIA in Seoul.

Lin Tianshuai, who experienced poor experience, didn't want to stay a day. After talking about renting the port, he scolded and walked away.

All the way north, after the Kaicheng entered the Lelang public territory, Lin Tianshuai felt the enthusiasm from AIA.

This kind of enthusiasm reached its peak in Pyongyang City. When Lin Tianshuai reached the city of Pyongyang at the end of August, thousands of people welcomed the city gate!

After more than a year, this disaster -catching city has gone through the occupation of the pirates, the city of fire, and the prince's rebellion.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian Shuai had a compassion in his heart, and his mouth occupied: "Pyongyang City is fighting the bone cluster, and he also heard that Li lady cried in the east. Xining Yale must visit today, and it is also necessary to prepare the national style."

Although Daming's new book this year, Lelang Gong was young, but he was more thoughtful than the King of Korea.

Under this enthusiastic infection, Lin Tianshuai stayed in Pyongyang for more than ten days.

During the period, Lin Tianshuai inspected the construction site of the Xunzi Temple, and readily left a hundred hundred words of essays.

"Husband He Ming Palace is stubborn, and Yao Zhaohui is colorful. However, the Han Dynasty also made the Han expose the sincerity, and the Bangbang people can benefit the devotion.

This Xunzi Temple is the number one key project of Lelangguo. It is very large. It is expected to be completed until next year. It is worthy of Lin Tianshuai to write so many words.

After staying in Pyongyang City, Lin Tianshuai had thought about going to the Jiashan County Mine of Xianjing Road to inspect, and then returned to China around a distance.

However, considering that it was not long before the end of the year, I was afraid that it was too late to offer the ceremony of the prisoner, and it dispelled the idea of ​​bypassing Xianjing Road.

In early September, Lin Tianshuai arrived in Yizhou, and then came to Jiulian City after passing the Yalu River to re -embark on Daming.

It was just eleven months since the crosses of crossing the country from the beginning of last October.

In fact, the real battle time period, that is, from October 20th to April of the 21st year of Wanli, it is almost seven months.

Compared to the war -fighting war that was prolonged in the past and after history, Lin Tian Shuai's efficiency was more than ten times higher.
