Shi Xing explained: "Start with a small war, then negotiate for peace. Fight quickly and make peace quickly. Let the Japanese pirates take the initiative to withdraw from Korea. This is a way to save economic effort."
Lu Guangzu agreed: "Nowadays, the national economy is difficult. If we can negotiate at the right time and reduce costs, it will be a blessing for the court."
Shi Xing then catered to Lu Guangzu and said: "We cannot allow some people to deliberately resort to violence and use this to gather power."
Lu Guangzu scolded: "Some treacherous ministers have been fighting fiercely in the northwest for a year. After reaping the benefits, they can't stop! This time they want to repeat their old tricks. How can we just sit idly by and ignore them?"
Of these two people, one needs to quickly resolve the North Korean issue to break Lin Tailai's suppression; the other needs to try his best to exclude Lin Tailai and weaken Lin Tailai's power, so it is easy to reach cooperation.
Another half month later, in mid-June, a battle report came from Liaodong.
Due to various reasons, the two armies of the Ming Dynasty that crossed the river suffered a disastrous defeat, and even the general Shi Ru was killed while attacking Pyongyang.
Hearing the news of this tragic defeat, the government and the public were shocked again!
Five thousand elite soldiers suffered a disastrous defeat in half a month, which was really unacceptable to the court.
What kind of enemy force can quickly defeat the Ming Dynasty's five thousand elite soldiers who are well prepared?
If converted into Northern Barbarians, it would be impossible without an army of more than 20,000 people, right?
At this point, many people can't help but think of another question: How many Japanese pirates invaded North Korea this time?
The most irritating thing is that even North Korea, which was beaten to the point of collapse, still can’t tell the number of Japanese soldiers. It’s unbearable!
Shi Xing, the left minister of the Ministry of War, who advocated "limited operations" and the strategy of "quick war and quick peace", was completely confused.
Lu Guangzu, the censor of Zuodu who supported Shi Shilang, felt that he had been cheated again!
First there was Yin Zhuoran, and then there was Shi Xing. Why are my teammates here all cheating?
Many people remembered what Lu Guangzu said during the last court meeting.
But at this time, Lu Guangzu closed his door and claimed to be ill, and he did not see any guests. No one else could contact Lu Guangzu.
Therefore, Ye Mengxiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, went to the Ministry of War and recommended that Lin Tailai be appointed to be responsible for the management of North Korea.
It was already summer, and Lin Daguan, who was still in Suzhou, suddenly felt that his summer poetry collection needed to be updated.
So he held an elegant gathering in the vast and cool Humble Administrator's Garden, and dozens of celebrities attended.
Lin Daguan stood by the water, with his hands behind his back, and slowly chanted:
"The clear water of fragrant lotus is moved by the cool breeze, and the cool breeze of the water makes the summer long. The cool breeze of long summer days moves the water, and the cool breeze moves the water with the fragrant green lotus."
"Okay!" Everyone cheered immediately, and then thought hard about what was so good about it.
Why does this quatrain sound like a tongue twister? How can I praise this? Mr. Lin really gave everyone a difficult problem.
At this moment, another officer rushed over and shouted: "The imperial court has sent orders to Suzhou. Officials Lin are urgently summoned to return to Beijing day and night without delay!"
Lin Tailai let out a long sigh and said to everyone: "I don't want to have a moment of joy with you all, but have to say goodbye again.
At this moment, I can only use a poem by my martial arts teacher Qi Shaobao to express my feelings."
Then he chanted again: "I drive north and south to repay the Lord's love, and the river is full of flowers and the moon is smiling all my life. Three hundred and sixty days a year, most of them are fighting and fighting."
Everyone secretly thought, since Lin Daguan won the first prize, Qi Shaobao has not been mentioned much for a long time, right?
Today, Qi Shaobao was suddenly mentioned again. It seems to be a metaphor.
With the encouragement and hard work of Lin Daguan in the past six months, Wang Shiwu, Fan Niangzi, and Huang Wuniang became pregnant again, and Secretary Bai was also pregnant with her first child.
But in the face of national events, Lin Daguan, who was summoned urgently, could only pack his luggage quickly, bid farewell to his parents, wives and concubines, and headed north with three hundred servants who had been prepared for it.
Among the three hundred servants, sixty are old people who have actually been on the battlefield, and the other two hundred and forty are newcomers who have followed the training.
