The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

In Jiuliancheng by the Yalu River, Lin Tianshuai, who had stolen half a day of leisure, was half lying on a recliner, dictating something, while Cui Wukui was writing down the text beside him.

Li Rusong, the general of Liaodong Town who had returned home with the army, walked in. Seeing this scene, he asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Lin Tailai raised his hand to signal Li Rusong to sit down, and replied: "I am writing my personal notes, but I am too lazy to write, so I asked Cui Xingren to write for me."

Li Rusong casually complained: "Who would write notes? Isn't it just for literati to whitewash themselves?"

"It's good to leave some historical materials for future generations." Lin Tailai said.

Then Lin Tailai continued to dictate to Cui Wukui: "From the time the Tianbing crossed the river in October of the 21st year of Wanli to April of the following year, there were six major battles with the Japanese pirates, and countless small battles.

The first Pyongyang Battle, annihilated 15,000 enemies; the second Hamhung Battle, annihilated 12,000 enemies; the third Byeokjegwan Battle, annihilated 5,000 enemies; the fourth Gilju Battle, annihilated 10,000 enemies; the fifth Seoul Battle, annihilated 30,000 enemies; the sixth Ulsan Battle, annihilated 29,000 enemies.

The government army initially had more than 70,000 troops, and finally increased to 100,000. The Japanese pirates initially had 150,000 to 160,000 troops, and then increased to nearly 20 10,000, and finally 75,000 remained.

The advantage is mine, and the Japanese pirates will not be able to escape my grasp! ”

Li Rusong was a little dissatisfied: "What six battles? Can't you remove the Pyeongyang? Can't we just have five major battles?"

Lin Tailai replied: "What has happened can't be erased out of thin air, right?

However, it can be explained that the Battle of Pyeongyang was an encounter between our vanguard and the main force of the Japanese army. In the end, our vanguard killed thousands of enemies and successfully withdrew. Is there anything wrong with this? "

Hearing this explanation, Li Rusong had nothing to say except "writing the Spring and Autumn Annals".

Lin Tailai said curiously: "Shouldn't you go to Guangning to perform your duties? Why come to see me again?"

At that time, there was a convention in Liaodong Town. The Liaodong Governor's Office was in Liaoyang, and the Liaodong General was in Guangning. The two giants guarded separately.

Li Rusong's official position was the Liaodong General, so after returning to China from Korea, he should go to Guangning.

"I heard you were going to Tieling?" Li Rusong asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Tailai didn't think of hiding it, and replied, "I haven't returned my assignment yet, so I thought of going to Tieling for inspection, and summoning the Jurchen tribes to declare the majesty of the court."

Not counting the canonized barbarian tribes, Tieling is already very close to the northeasternmost tip of the Ming Dynasty's actual control of the mainland.

This protruding area is surrounded by "enemies" on three sides, with the Beilu Left Wing Tuman tribe and the like in the west, the Haixi Jurchen in the north, and the Jianzhou Jurchen in the east.

Li Rusong tentatively said, "Can I go with you?"

The main reason is that Marshal Lin is too good at making trouble, and Li Rusong is not very reassured. After all, Tieling is the hometown of the Li family, and Li Rusong is afraid that Marshal Lin will cause some trouble.

Lin Tailai nodded in agreement, "If you want to go, that's fine! Maybe you really need to borrow the prestige of your Li family to calm the situation."

Li Rusong couldn't help but be stunned. Marshal Lin really wants to make trouble?

Lin Tailai waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! It won't affect your Li family!"

Li Rusong asked a few more questions about the purpose, but Lin Tailai refused to say it clearly.

After sending Li Rusong away, Lin Tailai continued to tell Cui Wukui orally: "During my time in Dongguo, I have repeatedly led the troops, participated in and commanded five major battles, four of which were the first to climb the battlefield, and personally captured three Japanese generals alive, and killed two Japanese generals, Kato Kiyomasa and Omura Yoshizen."

Cui Wukui remembered it carefully. He also knew his mission. After returning to the capital, he would spread the propaganda according to the propaganda caliber determined by Tianshuai.

When the Minister of Strategy Lin Tailai stayed in Jiuliancheng, he first sent an order to the various Jurchen tribes, inviting the chiefs who had been canonized by the Ming Dynasty to meet in Tieling in mid-September. Whether it was Haixi or Jianzhou, those who had not been canonized were also welcome to come.

If it were a year ago, Lin Tailai's "invitation" would probably be ignored by most chiefs.

But the news of the Korean War spread to the Jurchen tribes in the neighboring Kingdom of Korea. The chieftains of each tribe were in awe of Lin Tianshuai, who was said to have killed 100,000 Japanese pirates.

Lin Tianshuai brought the elite troops that had just been tested by the war and sincerely invited everyone to visit. It seemed not good not to give him face.

The faces of the Jurchen tribes were generally like this. When the Yongle Dynasty was at its peak in the Northern Expedition, the tribes were very respectful to the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute actively, and they were proud to be canonized.

After the Tumu Fort Incident, the Jurchen tribes began to neglect and despise the Ming Dynasty, and even turned to hostility.

Now that Lin Tianshuai has become powerful in the neighboring Kingdom of Korea, the mentality of the Jurchen tribes is a bit like a dream back to the Yongle Dynasty.

A few days later, Lin Tailai led 6,000 battalions to the north, accompanied by Li Rusong with 5,000 troops, a total of more than 10,000 people went to Tieling.

When Lin Jinglue arrived at Tieling, more than a dozen chieftains from Haixi and Jianzhou Jurchen tribes came and lived together outside the Tieling Weicheng.

Lin Jinglue did not live in the city, but camped outside the city with the army.

When all the chieftains came to pay their respects, Lin Jinglue saw Nurhaci and his brothers at the front of the crowd.

Li Rusong, who was standing next to Lin Jinglue to help introduce him, suddenly said: "Mantai, the old man, is here too. I'm really surprised."

Then Li Rusong introduced Lin Tailai in detail: "Mantai is the chieftain of the Ula tribe, one of the four major tribes of Haixi Jurchen, and the most powerful chieftain of Haixi Jurchen.

This man has always been arrogant and tyrannical, and has no respect at all. I really didn't expect him to come to pay his respects to you."

Lin Jinglüe calmly ordered: "Since the behavior is abnormal, something must have happened. Go and find out quickly."

Then Lin Jinglüe pretended nothing happened and continued to chat and laugh with the chiefs.

Not long after, Li Rusong came back and whispered to Lin Tailai: "Last year you ordered Nurhaci to send troops from Jianzhou Jurchens to station at the Tumen River to prevent the entry of Japanese pirates from Hamgyong Province.

But that place actually belongs to the territory of Haixi Jurchens. During this period, the troops of Jianzhou Jurchens frequently clashed with the various tribes of Haixi Jurchens.

Three months ago, Mantai, the chief of the Ula tribe of Haixi Jurchens, joined the coalition forces composed of Yehe and other tribes, and the nine coalition forces jointly attacked Jianzhou Jurchens.

But in the end, the nine coalition forces were defeated by Jianzhou Jurchens. Mantai escaped back to his headquarters, and Mantai's second brother Buzhantai was killed by Nurhaci. Hachi captured.

So Mantai appeared here, probably to seek mediation. ”

Lin Tailai couldn't help but complain: "The nine-army coalition fought like this, it's really useless."

He asked again: "You just said that Mantai, the old man, is very cruel by nature?"

Li Rusong replied: "This is known inside and outside the border wall. He is very cruel to his own tribe, and many of them have fled."

Lin Jinglue praised: "It seems that he is also a useful talent."

Li Rusong: ""

Is there any logical relationship between "cruel and tyrannical by nature" and "useful talent"?

Then Lin Jinglüe ordered: "Mantai and Nurhaci stay, only the interpreter is left, and all others retreat outside the tent for the time being!"

Li Rusong asked doubtfully: "What about me?"

Lin Tailai replied very affirmatively: "Same! You go out first."

After all the "idle people" left the tent, Lin Jinglüe changed to a more comfortable position on the big chair, looked at Mantai and Nurhaci, and said lightly: "I don't like fighting in my life, so I have to stop fighting."

Nurhaci, the Dragon and Tiger General and the Governor of Jianzhou, stepped forward to explain: "Since last year, my troops have been stationed by the order of Jinglüe Gong to guard the Duman River. During this period, we were frequently obstructed by the Haixi tribes and conflicts occurred repeatedly.

This year, the Haixi tribes have become more aggressive, forming a nine-tribe coalition army and brazenly invading our Jianzhou territory. Our troops had no choice but to fight back and win."

Lin Tianshuai asked Mantai on the other side: "What do you say? ”

Mantai, the chieftain of the Ula tribe, was not as eloquent as Nurhaci. He was sweating profusely in this late autumn and tried his best to explain:

“The Jianzhou soldiers were ordered to serve on the Tumen River, but they should not take the opportunity to harass our Haixi tribes and make them unbearable.

We, the nine tribes, have no other intentions in joining forces, and we just want to teach Jianzhou a lesson. Yes, it’s just a lesson. ”

Nurhaci retorted with reason: “Even if our Jianzhou soldiers had friction with the Haixi tribes at the Tumen River, you can appeal to the Jinglüegong if you have grievances!

Why should the nine tribes join forces to raise troops? This is clearly an attempt to disrupt the situation in Liaodong and not take the Jinglüegong seriously! ”

Mantai stammered in response: “The nine tribes joined forces to teach Jianzhou a lesson in private, and never thought of troubling the Jinglüegong. ”

Lin Tailai sighed deeply, and could confirm again that Mantai was really a waste!

Nurhaci felt that he was completely right and there was no need to continue the confrontation with Mantai, so he said to Lin Tailai: "Please make a fair judgment!"

Lin Tailai took a deep breath, regained his 400-year-old skills, and said to Nurhaci: "So many tribes have joined forces to fight you, which means you must have made a mistake, which has angered everyone, otherwise why would there be a nine-tribe coalition?"

Nurhaci felt so frustrated that he wanted to hit his head against the wall, and protested: "The fact is that the Haixi tribes first expanded the friction into a war, and we Jianzhou was forced to Fight back! "

Lin Tailai responded without thinking: "Putting aside the facts, don't you Jianzhou have any faults at all?"

"I" Nurhaci almost lost his composure and swore directly. After trying hard to hold back, he asked: "Can't we, Jianzhou, fight back against the coalition forces of the nine tribes of Haixi?"

Lin Tailai said without raising his eyelids: "I didn't expect that you, the Jianzhou tribe, not only refused to admit your mistakes, but also dared to fight back!"

After a set of smooth language combos, Nurhaci completely broke the defense!

Lin Tailai is still the same Lin Tailai, who is extremely hostile and prejudiced against the Jianzhou Jurchens. He doesn't want to reason at all!

The process of dealing with Lin Tailai for several years kept coming to my mind. Since the first meeting, the money rat tail braid behind his head was pulled, and the humiliation accumulated for many years seemed to burst out from his heart!

What did I do wrong? The hatred for the Ming Dynasty was hidden deep enough. Why should I be humiliated constantly?

Nurhaci was a very patient person, otherwise he would have died in the hands of Li Chengliang.

He always believed that there was no one in the world who could break his defense, until he met Lin Jinglüe.

"Aqina! Seshei! None of them are as good as him!" Nurhaci could no longer bear it and roared at Lin Tailai!

Mantai, the chief of the Ula tribe, was very confused, and he was even more confused after listening to the translation of the interpreter!

Is this the Jinglüegong of the Ming Dynasty, who is known as a star in both civil and military affairs, reasonable?

It seems that this Jinglüegong didn't care at all, who was right and who was wrong between the Haixi tribes and the Jianzhou tribe, who started the war first, and it seems that this Jinglüegong and Nurhaci had an old grudge?

The people who had just left the general's tent and stood outside were chatting in groups of three or two, and suddenly heard the roar coming from the big tent.

All the chattering stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at each other. What happened in the general's tent?

After the roar of "Archisseis Black", it was a huge sound of the table and chair dumped!

Others did not dare to act, only after Li Rusong hesitated, setting off the curtain to enter the big account.

However, the chief of the Ulara Department of the big tent stood in the corner and shivered together.

On the ground in the middle of the big tent, a human figure wearing a Ming -made military robe. But he couldn't see the face of this person, because he pressed an eight -foot -long hardwood on his head.

As for Lin Jingluo, he stood on the side of the human figure, and his hands seemed to just leave from the public case.

Li Rusong's rapid judgment based on the exclusion method, since the Manchi, Tongshi, and Lin Jingluo are standing, the person lying on the ground is definitely the Governor of Jianzhou Du Na Erchi.

Lin Tailai clapped his hands and said to Manchi and Tongshi, "You all saw it. The slave Hagichi abused the headquarters first, and then fierce!

The headquarters caught off guard, and there was no guardian weapon at hand. It was forced to set off a public case of self -defense! "

The trembling Manchi and Tongshi thought back to the scene where the Governor of Jianzhou was killed by a public case just now. He was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Lin Tailai also said to Li Rusong, "You should also hear the rude roar of Nuer Harchi outside? Is it abusing the headquarters?"

Li Rusong sighed helplessly: "I know that you have a great opinion on Muer Ha Chi, but I didn't expect it to be so big.

Lin Tailai said indifferently: "I'm not familiar with your father, no love!"

Li Rusong smiled bitterly and asked quietly, "Do you want to stain yourself again?"

Lin Tailai replied: "You think too much, this time it is not for self -pollution. Just take advantage of the army to win some hidden dangers to avoid the end of the tail."

Li Rusong looked at the human figure on the ground again. It felt like Lin Shuai hit the pirates to fight the pirates of the pirates.

"This is the Governor of Jianzhou, which has been sealed by the court.

"Don't worry about my own count!" Then Lin Tailai instructed the Haixi Women's straight Ulumi chief Mantai:

"You go outside and explain to the leaders of various ministries! For the heads of the ministry, the headquarters is no malicious!

Then change the place to continue meeting! Some good news of the headquarters announced to Er! "

Man Tai didn't dare to talk nonsense, and Wei Wei went out.

Lin Tailai pointed at Man Tai's back, and said to Li Rusong, "You said that this person is famous for his cruelty, how can I not see it? Isn't this stable and docile?"

Li Rusong: ""

Ruthless tyrannical does not mean stupid. If you dare to be unstable, you are afraid that the large hardwood case of eight feet long in the next moment will directly physically ride your face!

From this perspective, Lin Shuai still has one hand to deal with barbarians
