In the next few days, Lin Tianshuai spent the most comfortable days since entering the DPRK.
Crossing the Yalu River on October 7th, Pyongyang was recaptured on October 17th, and the mountainous march began on October 22nd, crossing to the east coast.
It arrived at the eastern front on October 29th and occupied Yongxing, captured Xianxing Prefecture on the second day of November, arrived in Jizhou on November 10th, and captured Jizhou on November 12th.
On November 13th, Lin Tianshuai officially entered the shogunate headquarters in Jizhou City.
On November 14, Lin Tianshuai discussed the future structure of the peninsula with his concubine Jin for the first time.
From November 15th to November 20th, Lin Tianshuai continued to discuss the future structure of the peninsula with his concubine Jin.
The former military envoy to the North of Hamgyeong Province, the "puppet army" general Han Kechen, who first surrendered to the Japanese pirates and then to the Japanese soldiers, finally brought the news.
Han Kechen has been leading the North Korean puppet troops these days. No, now we should call the Korean soldiers anyway, responsible for guarding the more than 8,000 Japanese pirate prisoners in Changdeshan outside the city.
There is a valley in Jangdeok Mountain. Anyway, the Korean soldiers drove these hungry Japanese prisoners to camp in the valley for the convenience of supervision.
Immediately, the Korean soldiers sealed the entrance of the valley and set fire to the camp in the valley. The Japanese soldiers had nowhere to escape, and those who went to the entrance of the valley were shot to death by random arrows.
Then suddenly, heavy snow fell and the temperature dropped sharply. The Japanese soldiers who survived the fire also died of cold and starvation inland for several days.
Several years later in this time and space, the name of the valley in Changde Mountain gradually evolved into "Ten Thousand People Valley".
Han Kexuan led his people to search the valley and made sure that there was no one alive. Then he hurried back to Jizhou City and reported to Tianshuai.
Lin Tailai had no expression on his face and asked Han Kexuan: "Have all arrangements been made for those who are responsible for the crime?"
Han Kechu replied: "Because of their hatred of the Japanese pirates, more than 130 people set fire to the Jiangbing camp without permission, causing the Jiangbing troops to riot.
For a while, the defenders in the valley did not dare to surrender their troops and leave the valley, which eventually led to tragedy."
Lin Tailai waved his hand and said: "These 130 North Korean soldiers disobeyed the military orders of the headquarters, surrendered without permission, and beheaded them in public as a warning! You go and deal with them."
Anyway, on the surface, Tianshuai will never take the blame for "killing and surrendering". As for more than a hundred Korean soldiers to be responsible for this in the future, that is their honor.
Han Kezhen replied without hesitation: "Yes!"
Then Han Kexuan said tentatively: "The task assigned by Commander Tian has been completed, but are there any new instructions?"
After all, Tianshuai, you promised before that when you complete the task of dealing with the surrender of Japanese pirates, you will treat yourself like a dog.
I feel like I can do this job well and should satisfy Tianshuai.
Next to them, Ma Gui, the commander of the second corps, and Dong Yiyuan, the commander of the third corps, both smiled and said to Lin Tai: "Old Han is good!"
Lin Tailai looked at the two generals in confusion. It was the first time he heard these two guys talking to the Koreans.
Ma Gui whispered: "If you don't accept those two daughters of Lao Han, you will give them to me and Lao Dong again if you don't accept them from the army."
Lin Tailai was a little speechless and scolded Ma Gui and Dong Yiyuan: "You can collect it in the city, but you are not allowed to carry it with you during the march!"
Then he said to the nervous Han Kechen: "Anyway, all the Korean soldiers under your command have been reorganized into the Hamgyong Province Loyalty and Salvation Army. You will serve as the commander-in-chief of this Loyalty and Salvation Army!"
Han Kexuan cried and thanked him: "Thank you so much for Tianshuai's life! Tianshuai is the villain's reborn parent!"
This is not an exaggeration at all. Without the protection of Tianshuai, his fate would definitely be beheaded, and Li Chao would definitely not let him go.
Ju Jingren, another traitor of the imperial court, was not idle either. He kept writing letters to lobby the cities in North Hamgyong Province. Overall, the effect was good. "Pseudo officials" from Hoerying, Myungcheon, Gyeonghung and other places sent envoys one after another to serve as propaganda.
Depends.
Only in Gyeongseong, the most important city in North Hamgyong Province, there was a little accident, or an unexpected accident.
That day, Ju Jingren reported anxiously: "Ju Shibi from Jingcheng reported that the leader of the rebel army, Zheng Wenfu, also sent someone to contact him and persuade him to surrender to the rebel army."
As introduced earlier, the Hamgyong Rebel Army was a resistance force spontaneously organized by the people after the news spread that the Ming Dynasty soldiers had entered the DPRK.
The leader of the rebel army, Zheng Wenfu, was the former Hamgyong Dao Zheng Liupin Pingshi. Since no other higher-ranking officials survived, Zheng Wenfu was elected as the leader of the rebel army.
Lin Tailai didn't care much about what the ants thought, and just asked: "Ju Shibi agreed?"
Ju Jingren replied: "Ju Shibi only said that the rebels sent people to contact him, but did not say which party he agreed to."
For the puppet officials who took refuge with the Japanese pirates, the rebels represented the "official" country, and surrendering to the rebels was equivalent to surrendering to the Li court.
The Heavenly Soldiers will eventually evacuate, and then the Li Dynasty will be able to resume its rule over Hamgyeong Province, so surrendering to the rebels seems to be an option.
"Hehehehe." Lin Tianshuai sneered a few times, "You said before that Ju Shibi is a member of your race, and you can persuade him to turn to me anyway, is that it?"
Ju Jingren said with a bitter face: "The villain misjudged him. Since he is so ignorant, just let Tianshuai deal with him!
But the villain also said before that these rebels are speculators, and after Tianshuai defeats Kato, they will definitely jump out to pick peaches."
Han Kexuan, who was thinking about making new achievements, said: "No one named Ju can be trusted! It doesn't take much trouble for the commander-in-chief. I am willing to lead the loyal and righteous National Salvation Army's 2,000 troops to capture the Mirror City!"
But Lin Tianshuai didn't want to do anything to Ju Jingren, after all, this was a dog that had passed the test.
Then he told Ju Jingren: "You invite the leaders of the rebel army to Jizhou, and I will personally meet them to discuss future affairs in Xianjing Road.
Ju Shibi from Jingcheng was also invited to come over and met with the leader of the rebel army to explain everything that needed to be said clearly!"
Ju Jingren quickly agreed and went out to do errands.
Han Kechu couldn't help but said to Lin Tai: "Tian Shuai is too kind, why should he be so polite to him! What qualifications do these ignorant wild dogs have to negotiate with Tian Shuai?
As long as the army arrives, who will dare to say anything to these wild dogs? There is no need to talk to them!"
Lin Tianshuai sighed: "After all, our Ming Dynasty soldiers have moral baggage, and attacking the Japanese rebels goes against the principles of benevolence and righteousness.
Therefore, it is not appropriate to use the officers and soldiers, and I will bear the responsibility for some infamy."
Han Kexuan: "?"
Tianshuai’s words don’t seem to be profound, but why can’t he understand them at all? What does it mean that Tianshuai should bear the infamy alone?
Three days later, the leaders of the Xianjing Taoist Rebel Army, Zheng Wenfu, Li Pengshou, Chi Dayuan, and Jingcheng garrison Ju Shibi came to Jizhou together.
At this time, Lin Tailai was in the front hall, talking to Sunhwa-jun, the 12-year-old sixth prince of North Korea.
After a week of in-depth communication with Shun Hejun's mother, Lin Tianshuai finally remembered that he had not met Shun Hejun yet, which seemed rude.
I don’t know whether Shun Hejun was embarrassed or not, but Lin Tianshuai was not embarrassed and asked: "How many princes are there in your country now?"
Jun Shunhe replied: "I have seven brothers."
Lin Tianshuai frowned and said: "I think the king of your country is still in good health, and there will definitely be more princes in the future.
You are neither the direct descendant nor the beloved. I really don’t know how much of the family fortune you will get in the end. Your mother and I are really worried.
I hope you will make more progress and not be like your elder brother Linhaijun, who is twenty years old and still doesn’t understand."
Feeling the daddy smell coming towards his face, Shunhe-jun didn't know how to deal with it and could only remain silent.
Perhaps it was the experience of being homeless and a prisoner that made him much more mature when facing strong men.
Lin Tailai placed a map of North Korea's eight provinces in front of Mr. Shunhe, "Your mother said that she wants the three northern provinces to give you a fiefdom."
Shun Hejun looked at the map, then raised his head and asked, "Can I not be bullied by the eldest brother and the second brother from now on?"
The eldest brother is the eldest prince Linhaijun who fled with him, and the second brother is Gwanghaejun who is with his father and has been established as the crown prince.
The child's requirements were really low. Lin Tianshuai said without any pressure: "That's a must."
At this time, someone came to report that the leader of the rebel army and the guard of Jingcheng had arrived outside the gate of Jizhou City.
Lin Tailai commanded Cui Wukui and said: "Go to the city gate to greet you. Don't let others think that the headquarters is rude!"
Cui Wukui was ordered to go to the city gate and met Zheng Wenfu, the leader of the rebel army. After bowing to each other, he invited Zheng Wenfu and his party to enter the city.
"Let's go, Duke Jinglue is already waiting." Cui Wukui said casually.
Zheng Wenfu said, "I would like to ask you to lead the way and lead me to see our king's eldest son, Lord Linhai."
Cui Wukui slowly raised a question mark in his heart, and emphasized again: "Gong Jinglue is already waiting in the palace."
Zheng Wenfu said sternly: "We are the subjects of the Korean Kingdom. When we enter the city, we should first have an audience with Lord Linhai. This is the etiquette of the ministers and cannot be abolished."
Cui Wukui sighed and said: "It seems that you have very little information about Xianjing Road."
Zheng Wenfu just felt confused. What did this sentence mean? What kind of information was blocked?
Cui Wukui did not explain, and said for the third time: "Listen to my advice, you should go see Duke Jinglue first!"
Zheng Wenfu insisted: "Your Excellency is a scholar in the upper state. He should know the integrity of his ministers. How can he persuade others to do wrong things?"
Cui Wukui was too lazy to say anything else and directly cursed: "I see your mother is better than Linhaijun!"
Zheng Wenfu felt insulted and angrily shouted: "Why are you so rude? Is this how Ming scholars behave?"
