On the screen of the map of the river and sea entering the sea in the lobby of the Strategy Hall, a plaque with "The sea is clear and the river is peaceful" hung high.

After the officials retreated, Lin Yanchao and Sun Mine drank tea under this plaque. Lin Yanchao said: "This time, the Japanese ships were discovered in Jiaozhou, and dozens of Japanese pirates were captured and three were captured alive, one of which was a Japanese chief. It was a great achievement!"

Sun Kuangze said: "It all depends on Master Jingli to identify the Japanese chiefs from the Japanese pirates, and to see through them the reality of the Japanese state. According to the officials, this is even more important than the gains."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "This is thanks to the Emperor's Hong Fu."

At this time, Sun Mine's master came in and handed a memorial, and Sun Mine submitted it to Lin Yanchao and said, "The subordinate official has ordered someone to draft a memorial to reward merits, so please read it by your master."

Lin Yanchao asked Sun Mine to give a memorial to the Fuyuan Courtyard, but he could listen to the words like this, but he could not do it like this. Sun Mine drafted a memorial to the memorial to give it to Lin Yanchao for his review.

Lin Yanchao refused, but still took it in his hand. After looking at it, he frowned.

Sun Kuang asked, "Master Jingliuan, what is wrong with the memorial drafted by the Xiaguan?"

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "If it's not right, it's just..."

Sun Mine said: "Please give me advice!"

Lin Yanchao said: "This time my brother made meritorious service, and recommended him to Qianhu, and promoted him to Qiancheng, the Japanese army, which is a bit too much. This is not to avoid suspicion, but the beheading level five is too loud, so it is better to behead two levels. As for the extra credit to be distributed to other soldiers, the rewards are also reduced. What does the Chief Secretary think?"

Sun Mine followed the good news and said, "The lower-ranking official followed the order of Master Jingliu, so he recommended him as the deputy Qianhou family, and appointed him as the chief general of the Japanese army, and was still appointed as the chief general of the Japanese army!"

Lin Yanchao nodded when he heard this.

The master immediately drafted the memorial again.

Lin Yanchao said: "There is also the incident of Japanese ships this time. It is a lucky thing. Since the officials below are planning to buy horse bones with a thousand gold coins, we might as well use them to inspire the people and the army. If there are some minor achievements, we will not hesitate to write them all. As for the civil and military officials in Jiaozhou, they can be listed as Bao Zuo, and even the prefect of Laizhou and the vassal magistrates can be written in."

Sun Kuang smiled. When Lin Yanchao said, this exaggerated military achievements became a way to encourage the hearts of the army and the people. But is it to inspire the hearts of the army and the people, or to win the hearts of the people?

"The people in Shandong are exhausted at present. Since the Zhongcheng is determined to request a reduction of tax burden this year to the court, I am afraid that the court will not be able to explain it. So at least in terms of military achievements, we must have a reason to speak. In this way, the emperor also feels that it is indeed the place that has done its best, and there is no way to accept the grace of heaven."

Sun Kuang didn't care about the fashion at first, but when Lin Yanchao said it, he couldn't help but say seriously: "Mr. Jinglei said so much!"

"It's good enough for Zhongcheng to understand this strategy."

The master immediately re-drafted the memorials and handed them over to Lin Yanchao for a look. After Lin Yanchao looked at it, he saw that under his instructions, the weight of the other party's memorials and the list of recommendations suddenly increased a lot of people.

For example, Qian Zong, who was originally arrested by the Japanese army, was recommended as the commander.

As for commanding the commander You Sheng, he was recommended as the commander of the capital.

As for civil servants, they are also in the list of merits. Although the Ministry of War cannot promote official positions, there will be a good assessment on the Ministry of Personnel.

All the officials in Jiaozhou were so happy, and the favors fell on Sun Mine. In the past, Sun Mine thought that Lin Yanchao's move was for his brother who served as the Minister of Personnel, but now it is not the case.

Sun Kuang couldn't help but say, "Mr. Jinglei is young and is the first time he manages one side. But the officials are really impressed by the way of doing things. They are really worthy of the name of Sanyuan!"

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "The Chief Executive is over-reputable."

Sun Mine said: "Mr. Jingluo said yesterday that he was practicing the affairs of North Korea. The officials were still worried. The dynasty was managing Jiaozhi and set up counties in Annan, but in the end he abandoned it! But Mr. Jingluo wanted to set up a town in North Korea. Wouldn't the North Koreans object? The officials thought that Mr. Jingluo had to make a long-term plan."

Lin Yanchao said seriously: "From ancient times, those who can achieve great things have five points in personnel and five points in God's will. I did not say that I will definitely succeed. However, I set up a town in Korea not to embezzle its land, but to trade and benefit the city, so as to grant tribute to the court, and from then on, I have been hampered by Japanese pirates along the coast for two hundred years. At the same time, there is also a powerful vassal that can cover Shandong, Tianjin, and Liaodong."

"This time the eight roads of North Korea fell, and North Korea could not recover in one battle. This is enough for us to be aware of it! I came to Shandong this time and heard that this time, the people below were not full of food or clothing. In some places, all the families and young people starved to death at home. The thieves kept reporting. As for the busy preparations of Japanese prefectures, they were unable to provide relief to the people. It was really heartbreaking!"

Sun Kuang heard this and his eyes turned red and he choked and said, "The people are cold and hungry. All of this is Sun's incompetence. He is ashamed of the people."

Lin Yanchao said: "The Chief Chief's words are serious. In the 18th year of Wanli, Shandong has a severe drought. The previous year was the Japanese incident and this year it was a turbulent famine. How can human resources recover? Since the Chief Chief took office, he repeatedly requested tax exemption to the court, which shows his love for the people."

"For the sake of the present, in addition to requesting reductions from the court, all prefectures and counties must strictly supervise the preparation of sweet potatoes for wasteland. In the 18th year of Wanli, the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the capital was effective, and tens of thousands of people survived. However, although the Shandong court had government orders and vassal standards were supervised, the prefectures and counties below were perfunctory and did not even know how to store the potato seeds for winter. Therefore, this spring famine was famine all over the world!"

Sun Mine said: "What Master Jingli said is very true, and the subordinate immediately ordered the officials of the prefectures and counties below."

Lin Yanchao nodded slowly and said, "The rise of external troubles all arises from internal affairs not being cultivated. If internal affairs not being cultivated, it depends on the people. Food is the most important thing for the people. If the people can get food, they can be at peace. If the people can be safe, they will be at peace. If the people can be safe, they will be at peace. If internal affairs are cultivated, external troubles will not be afraid!"

Sun Mine heard that Lin Yanchao was farming in Tianjin, and when he came to Shandong, he encouraged sweet potatoes to prepare for wasteland. After all, he worked hard on farming. This is really worthy of "going wherever you go, planting every place"!

When Sun Kuang thought of this, he had no intention of ridicule, but instead said to Lin Yanchao: "The subordinates should ask the generals for advice from the generals in the future!"

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "I dare not take it!"

After Sun Mine returned from Lin Yanchao on the same day, he immediately submitted a memorial to the court to impeach officials who were unfavorable to prepare for the famine. At the same time, he also praised Sun Yan, the former Minister of Personnel, who was forced to retire, for "Lin Yanchao is the Legend of the Condor Heroes of the Officials of this dynasty for two hundred years"!

The letter arrived at Sun Jian, who was in his hometown in Zhejiang. Sun Jian looked at it and smiled faintly. This statement was said by then, Sun Kuang once praised Zhang Juzheng and called him the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes among the Prime Ministers". At that time, Sun Kuang and Zhang Juzheng were in conflict and were suppressed by him, but he never complained, but instead praised his talents.

Now Sun Mine uses this term to evaluate Lin Yanchao.

After reading the letter, Sun Mine handed it over to his son Sun Rufa, who was also demoted to his home. This statement spread from then on.

After Sun Mine left, he managed to manage the headquarters.

Lin Yanchao and Lin Yanshou were having a meal and talking.

Lin Yanshou had already served the fifth bowl of rice and poured the gravy of braised pork into the bowl. Lin Yanchao couldn't help but say, "Brother went to Shandong to join the army this time. He has lost a lot of weight, but his appetite has increased!"

Lin Yanshou said while sipping rice with big mouthfuls, "Don't be surprised, my brother is just serving a few more bowls of rice. I can't eat you enough. Don't let people laugh at you if you're surprised!"

Lin Yanchao shook his head.

Lin Yanshou continued: "I haven't seen any meat and fish in the Jiaozhou military camp for half a year. How can I not reduce it? If my brother, if you are full, I will be polite to the duck legs in front of you."

Lin Yanchao smiled and grabbed the duck legs and said, "Shandong is in the middle of spring. Even though I am a wise man of several provinces, the meal is just two meats and two vegetables. Today, it is an exception to add a meat dish. Don't complain!"

Lin Yanshou chewed the duck legs in three mouthfuls to the bones, then served a bowl of rice and poured the leftover soup into the rice, and said while he was free: "Actually, I didn't know why I had to come to Shandong at the beginning. Every meal in Beijing was full of big fish and meat. Why don't I enjoy such wealth and wealth, but I have to come to this place to suffer."

"Yes, why didn't you come to Shandong?" Lin Yanchao put down his bowls and chopsticks.

"Isn't it because of the useless place for heroes?" Lin Yanshou sighed long, and drank the rice with grief and anger, and then burped it for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yanchao felt that Lin Yanshou's eating habits would be enough to become a food broadcaster in later life.

"But this time I still have the opportunity to make a name for myself. The magistrate has told me that he will be promoted to two levels in a row and report to the court to the Qianzheng General! In this way, our Lin family can be the best in the family, and the whole family will become successful!"

Lin Yanchao was speechless when he heard this. Lin Yanshou looked at Lin Yanchao and smiled, "Don't laugh my brother! Actually, I'm still benefiting from you this time? I'm joking, haha!"

After drinking and eating, the servants were cleaning the tables for the two of them, and Chen Jichuan brought incense tea to Lin Yanchao and Lin Yanshou.

Lin Yanchao took a sip of tea and said, "Brother, you may have to slow down your success. This time you can only be promoted to one level, as the deputy Qianhu family and the Qiancheng general."

When Lin Yanshou heard that he had changed from a former household to a deputy household, General Ren Qian became General Ren Qian, and he was disappointed and said, "Damn, the court is too stingy! Isn't this cold to the hearts of our soldiers?"

Lin Yanchao said calmly: "It's not that the court doesn't give it to you, but that I hold it down!"

"What?" Lin Yanshou was shocked and said, "Brother Chao, what do you mean? How can you tell your brothers to drag your brother down? Ji Zhizhou, Liu Futai and others stopped talking, why did you push me?"

Lin Yanchao said: "It is precisely because Futai and the magistrates don't speak, so I can't let them protect you, brother, do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Yanshou said angrily: "I don't know, you are the brother, I am the younger brother!"

Haha! This is a terrible mood.

Lin Yanchao said: "Brother, this memorial to ask for me is said that you killed five Gu people, and you are more than ten arrows in your body?"

"this……"

Lin Yanchao said: "If it is true, I will immediately let Liu Zhongcheng report it to you as the truth! I will guarantee that you will be the Thousand Houses!"

"This... although this is a little exaggerated, this time... my brother knows that this time I went to Shandong, practice martial arts diligently and study military books and battle strategies every day. It is no longer a man of Wuxia. Not to mention being a mere general, even guerrillas are competent!"

He is talking about him again.

Lin Yanchao sighed slightly, "Brother, if you are like this, then I have no choice but to ask the court to transfer you back to the capital!"

"Don't, I haven't been a thousand-man yet... No, I haven't made any achievements yet, how can I return to Beijing like this? Isn't it a pity? I'll lead my troops first! I dare to ask, when will I lead my troops to calm the Japanese and make contributions to North Korea?"

Lin Yanchao was speechless when he heard Lin Yanshou say this.

The number of Japanese troops arrested in Jiaozhou was 246. Although it was a thousand general and had two generals under its jurisdiction, the Ming Dynasty military system was like this. However, Lin Yanshou was appointed as the Qian General of the Japanese Army, and was the agent, which really made Lin Yanchao feel a little worried. The main position and the deputy position were different. What if there was a difference?

Then Lin Yanchao thought about it and asked Wu Youli to pick two veteran soldiers from the southern army who were mature and stern and skillful, and to lead troops to Lin Yanshou. As for going to sea to calm the Japanese and to make contributions to North Korea, it would be spared. It would be better to stay in Shandong honestly. At present, North Korea still has the upper hand at sea, and the Japanese ships cannot reach Shandong for a while.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao felt relieved. At this time, Japan still focused on land and neglected the sea.

The main force of the Toyotomi naval army was the Kumano naval army led by Kato Katsuraki, and the Awaji naval army inherited by Yasuji Okisaka. Although they performed well in the Warring States Period in Japan, they were still inferior to the Murakami naval army.

In 1588, the 16th year of Wanli, Toyotomi Hideyoshi issued a pirate cessation order (Haman Ship Ban Order). It turned out that the navy troops wandering among the cracks of various famous forces were all incorporated or disbanded by the Toyotomi family.

After the pirate order was stopped, two effects were brought. One was that the original navy mainly collected protection fees for passing ships and made money on passenger transport.

After the thief stopped orders, it greatly facilitated Japan's domestic trade exchanges.

Another one is the extinction of Japanese pirates. From then on, the maritime pirates along the Ming Dynasty could no longer wear Japanese pirates' vests.

The unification of the Warring States Period led to the disintegration of the Japanese pirates' naval army, and the sword hunting order (the confiscation of the people's weapons), ended the era of One Piece, which led to the majority of naval army changing their careers to make a living by fishing and living a peaceful life.

So now, except for the Jiugui and other troops, most of the Japanese navy can only be regarded as maritime transport teams under Daming. Such navy forces will of course be defeated when they face the Korean navy.

Later, when Japan attached importance to naval warfare, the Korean navy rarely succeeded.

But overall, Japan was unable to gain sea control in southwest Korea, not to mention that the Japanese warships on the ship did not press artillery, nor were they opponents of the Ming navy with the Folang machine guns.

Lin Yanchao, who is now in charge of Shandong, at least he doesn’t have to worry about what happens to him in another time and space three hundred and one year later.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao can definitely rest assured to arrange Lin Yanshou in Jiaozhou.

Lin Yanchao believed that Lin Yanshou's arrangements were foolproof. On these days and nights, Lin Yanchao went to bed early. After serving as a precaution, Lin Yanchao worked hard every day, and so he was seriously insufficient in sleep. However, due to complicated affairs, his mind was thinking about military affairs and civilian conditions every day, but his sleep quality was very poor and he was easily awakened.

Lin Yanchao had just fallen asleep for a while and heard a commotion outside the house.

At this time, Chen Jichuan knocked outside his house and said, "Master, an emergency military situation is coming!"

"oh?"
