After being separated from the Korean monarchs and ministers, Cui Wukui couldn't help but said to Lin Tai: "Why should Duke Jinglue embarrass them?"
Lin Tailai replied with great social wisdom: "If someone has suffered such embarrassment and humiliation and is willing to come and make friends with me, then he can be useful."
However, not long after Lin Tailai returned to the shogunate, his companion Li Dexin hurried over again.
"There is a problem with the seats for tonight's banquet." Li Dexin said.
Lin Tailai said in surprise: "What's the problem?"
Li Dexin said anxiously: "How can Sir Jinglue and your Majesty sit east to west? According to etiquette, our Majesty should have his back to the north and face to the south."
Lin Tailai asked back: "Then how do you think I should sit? If the king of your country faces north and south, then whether I sit in the east, west or south, wouldn't it be like a subordinate position?
The key point is that this is the land of the Ming Dynasty. Can I sit like that? Can I be a vassal of a foreign vassal?"
Li Dexin: "."
Sophistry is sophistry, but it is difficult to refute.
Lin Tailai said impatiently: "If it doesn't work, just cancel the dinner! The current military situation is urgent, and it is understandable to keep everything simple.
Besides, since your country is in ruins, it is natural for the monarch and his ministers to stop and go to the banquet.
Jiulian City is about to become a transit place for large armies, so your monarchs and ministers should go to Kuandian Fort in the north to stay temporarily as soon as possible!"
After Li Dexin was stunned for a moment, she said dejectedly: "That's okay."
In the evening, Li Dexin came to the shogunate again, but this time it was not for official business, but in private, and he brought another person with him.
"This is Liu Chenglong, who is the right person to discuss politics in our country." Li Dexin introduced to Lin Tailai.
The name seemed familiar. Lin Tailai thought about it and asked, "Is he the leader of the Southern People's Party?"
It seems that this person in history had a close relationship with Li Rusong, and was considered Li Rusong's number one close friend in North Korea. With Li Rusong's help, he gradually became the prime minister of North Korea.
Liu Chenglong: "."
How to answer this? Can it be more embarrassing?
Lin Tailai asked the servant to serve tea, and then said: "Open the skylight and speak openly, and directly explain your purpose of coming."
Liu Chenglong took out a map of Pyongyang from his sleeve, showed it in front of Lin Tailai, and replied: "I'm here to help you, Master General, to recover Pyongyang."
For a battle, the value of a detailed map is self-evident.
After saying this, Liu Chenglong looked at Lin Jinglue indifferently, waiting for Lin Jinglue, who was unfamiliar with the place, to show his desire for knowledge, and then "not ashamed to ask".
Lin Tailai was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the map, then stood up and took down an atlas from the shelf next to him.
After unfolding it, he said to Liu Chenglong: "It seems that the map in our hands is not bad at all."
Liu Chenglong: "."
The routine can't go on anymore, how can we continue?
"Stop going through the process, be direct!" Lin Jinglue said impatiently, "I can support you to be the leader and suppress other parties!
And I want four things: garrisoning troops, leasing ports, customs duties, and mining!"
Liu Chenglong asked: "How to support?"
Lin Tailai replied: "I ask the king of your country to give you certain military power and let you lead some of your country's officers and soldiers to follow our army.
Once you regain your territory, you will naturally gain a lot of military merit, and it will be easy to go further."
Liu Chenglong and Li Dexin looked at each other. The prospect proposed by Mr. Lin Jinglue was indeed very attractive, and Mr. Jinglue did have this ability.
But the conditions they demanded were indeed uncomfortable. The four major items of garrison, port, customs duties, and mines were all suspected of being traitors, so they were unable to make a decision at the moment.
Lin Jinglue waved his hand and said to see the guests off: "You should go back and think about it carefully!
If you are not willing, then I will ask Yin Dooshou from the Western People’s Party or Zheng from the Northern People’s Party.”
