The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson
Chapter 723 Political Consequences
Previously, the Japanese invasion swept across the eight provinces, and some of the court officials of the Joseon Dynasty followed King Lee Sun in exile, and were then forced to "enter Liao", and are still stranded in Kuandian Fort.
Most of the other officials, especially those from various places, either died at the hands of the Japanese pirates or fled on their own.
At that time, the Joseon Dynasty's rule over the eight provinces of the peninsula completely collapsed, and the monarchs and ministers of the small court were isolated in Liaodong, so the escaped officials completely lost their backbone and were like headless flies.
Then the Joseon Dynasty officialdom boss Liu Chenglong returned to China and became the highest-ranking official in the country. Now he and the leader of the righteous army Zheng Renhong work in the very safe rear base of Xijing Pyongyang.
Therefore, naturally, many escaped Joseon officials gathered again in Pyongyang City and surrounded Liu Chenglong and others.
Moreover, Pyeongan Province is next to Liaodong, so if His Majesty the Great King returns across the river, he can go to greet him as soon as possible.
It can be said that the officials of the Joseon Dynasty gathered in Pyongyang City are still very "motivated" people, and they can be called the elite officials of the Joseon Dynasty with fighting spirit and ambition.
The reason is also very simple. Officials like those who have lost their "motivation" have long fled back to their hometowns and never come out again.
But these officials never dreamed that they would become the targets of the heavenly soldiers to suppress the rebellion today.
After the heavenly soldiers entered the city, they did not conduct screening, but only searched the streets and alleys. As long as they saw someone who looked like a yangban or an official, they would be directly chopped.
The sins committed by top figures such as Quan Li, Zheng Renhong, and Liu Chenglong should be borne by all the officials in their city!
In fact, these officials were in the game and died in the game, but they did not realize that it might be because they consciously gathered first and formed a "sub-center" outside the small court that they would usher in a devastating blow and destruction. It doesn't matter what the excuse is.
A time traveler like Lin Tailai will not treat the Joseon Dynasty with the standards of orthodox Confucianism and the traditional tribute system.
From the time when Lin Tianshuai killed the envoys, we could see some clues, but most people didn't realize this and just thought that Lin Tianshuai had a brutal personality.
In a sense, this is also a dimensionality reduction attack.
In the Spring of Xijing, thousands of righteous soldiers were buried with a large number of officials of the Joseon Dynasty. These people should have been the backbone of rebuilding the official army of the Joseon Kingdom in the future.
The eldest prince of the Joseon Kingdom, Lin Haijun, still survived. After all, he was a member of the royal family of the Joseon Kingdom, and the Tianbing retained the last trace of the bottom line.
However, Lin Haijun was formally imprisoned as a "rebel" and served as a witness to the world.
After all, Lin Haijun escaped from the guards of the Tianbing in public and with the help of the Japanese pirates, and joined the camp of the traitor Quan Li. This can't be washed away at all.
In the Kaesong Shogunate, Lin Tianshuai issued an order to the newly arrived Fourth Corps Li Xu according to Shen Weijing's "suggestion", and made two preparations in his heart.
On this day, Lin Tailai was discussing matters with Yin Zhuoran, when suddenly the left protector Zhang Wen sent a latest urgent report from Pyeongan Province.
After reading it, Lin Tailai said to Yin Zhuoran: "There is no one in charge of Pyeongan Province now, so you should prepare to go to Pyeongan Province."
Yin Zhuoran was stunned and asked tentatively: "What does it mean that there is no one in charge? How are Liu Chenglong and others?"
Lin Tianshuai said calmly: "No one in the physical sense, those people are gone.
In Pyongyang City, Liu Chenglong, Quan Li, Zheng Renhong and others colluded with Japanese pirates to support Linhaijun, which is tantamount to treason."
Yin Zhuoran didn't know what to say, and subconsciously asked: "Support? Didn't you say support before?"
Lin Tailai said very confidently: "It is right to support! The King of the Joseon Dynasty is still there, and what they did is equivalent to treason, especially colluding with Japanese pirates."
Yin Zhuoran sighed. When he said that Quan Li had problems before, he could have anticipated the consequences, but the situation was more serious than he thought.
The more I come into contact with Lin Tianshuai, the more intimidating he feels. Many of Tianshuai's thoughts are often different from those of ordinary people, as if he is another more advanced species.
Yin Zhuoran, who has no way back, can only say: "Some details are still a bit rough, such as the accusation that Quan Li colluded with the Japanese pirates, which seems to be full of loopholes."
Lin Tailai replied: "Quan Li led the so-called righteous army from Jeolla Province in the south, and passed through Chungcheong Province and Gyeonggi Province where the Japanese pirates were entrenched along the way, and arrived safely in the north. If he had not surrendered to the Japanese pirates, how could he have done it?
So it is reasonable for him to be entrusted by the Japanese pirates to rescue Konishi Yukinaga who was imprisoned in Pyongyang by me, right?
Then entrusting Konishi Yukinaga to help, take advantage of the terrain to sneak attack the building from behind, and rescue Lin Haijun, is also reasonable, right?"
Yin Zhuoran: ""
Tianshuai, do you really think these statements are reasonable?
Lin Tianshuai said impatiently: "Only the weak need to emphasize rationality, and the strong are the reason themselves!
You don't have to think too much, hurry up and go to Ping'an Province! First, serve as the first vice president of the maintenance association and concurrently as the president of the Ping'an Province Maintenance Association."
After telling Yin Zhuoran, Lin Tianshuai went back to the inner courtyard to rest and eat.
Jin Shunbin was serving beside him, and asked casually during the chat: "When can my son be canonized by the court?"
Probably in Shunbin's mind, the title of the president of the maintenance association is like a temporary job, and only the formal canonization of the Ming Emperor is the real "reassurance".
Lin Tailai replied: "Soon!"
After such a Xijing Spring, the old governance structure on the peninsula was completely physically destroyed, and it would have to be completely rebuilt by itself in the future.
So Jin Shunbin's eyes suddenly lit up. Tianshuai's answer before was always "wait a little longer". Today is the first time that Tianshuai said "it's almost time", which is a very positive sign.
It seems that something happened recently that made Tianshuai feel that he can enter the next stage?
One advantage of Jin Shunbin is that she consciously avoids contact with "foreign ministers", so she doesn't know Lin Tianshuai's recent operations outside.
Now that the matter is done, there is no need to continue to keep it secret. Lin Tailai said calmly: "Those officials and rebels in Pyongyang City who tried to support Linhaijun have been cleared up."
Jin Shunbin was dumbfounded when she heard this. She naturally understood the meaning of the word "clean up", and "everything" was cleaned up. I don't know how big the bloody storm behind this was.
She couldn't help but asked in shock: "I heard that famous officials like Liu Chenglong and Quan Li are all in Pyongyang City?"
Lin Tianshuai repeated again: "Everything has been cleaned up."
This situation was so shocking that Jin Shunbin really didn't know what to say. She also didn't expect Tianshuai's methods to be so cruel.
She could feel in her heart that after this incident, the bond between herself and her son Shunhejun and Tianshuai became even closer. In other words, he and his son Shunhejun are even more inseparable from Tianshuai's support.
Suffering such a killing is a shame for the country, and who among the dead did not have many relatives and friends?
Therefore, many people in the country, including the king, will be angry about this, and the mother and son who have completely surrendered to Tianshuai may be angered.
Without Tianshuai's strong support, their mother and son would probably end up dead.
Maybe this is the effect Tianshuai needs? What he needs is absolute obedience and loyalty?
Lin Tianshuai stretched out his hand to touch the white steamed buns and sighed: "Only by getting rid of these people, can Jun Shunhe's position in the north be stable in the future.
If these old forces are allowed to occupy Ping'an Road, I will be fine when I am here. But when I return to the Ming Dynasty, how can Lord Shunhe be stable?
Therefore, in order to clear the way for Lord Shunhe, I do not hesitate to commit such boundless crimes, and I alone bear all the blame. "
No matter what Tianshuai's motive was, Jin Shunbin could only bow her head and kneel down to thank Tianshuai: "Tianshuai Hongen, my mother and son will never be repaid by death. I only beg Tianshuai not to abandon my mother and son."
This means that if the situation can be maintained, then maintain it. If the situation cannot be maintained, Tianshuai will definitely take us mother and son to Ming Dynasty.
Lin Tianshuai was in a good mood today. When he was in a good mood, he was in high spirits. He said with a smile: "I promise to change my poses more, that's how I repay him."
Jin Shunbin said coquettishly: "Why do you want to change your mind and refuse to agree?"
Lin Tianshuai let go of the white steamed bun, then stretched out his hand to touch the little lady's lips, "Here, you have been refusing to agree.
Hey, I originally thought that I would write a memorial to the court today and ask for a dukedom for Lord Shunhe, and the fiefdom would be in Beisandao. "
Shunbi bit her lip, held back the discomfort, and made up her mind: "Du Yitian is handsome."
By the next day, Lin Tianshuai ordered the generals of each column to come to the shogunate to discuss matters after they had fully developed the Shun concubine and got what they wanted.
Now that the rear area is basically pacified, food and grass reserves are sufficient, and new regiments are about to arrive, it is time to consider the attack on Seoul.
If it continues to be delayed, I don't know if the emperor can bear it.
Regarding what happened in Pyongyang City, under the severe blockade order of Tianshuai, the emperors and ministers of the Li Dynasty who were imprisoned in Kuandian Fort did not know anything about it, but they continued to pray to the court for the heavenly troops to go south.
After Yin Zhuoran, the envoy, abandoned his post years ago and fled back to the country, King Li Huan of North Korea, with the approval of the court, sent Li Dexin, the official Cao Yanshu, to the capital as an envoy.
After some advice, Li Zhengshi roughly understood the context of the Ming Dynasty, so he didn't go to the Host and Guest Department much, nor did he go to the Ministry of War. He only went to Li Chun, a bachelor of Dongge University and the Minister of Rites, to beg hard.
Because both the Host and Guest Department of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War were Lin Tailai's accomplices, looking for them was tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
Li Chun and Li Ge were Lin Tailai's opponents, and they were the ones who might oppose Lin Tailai's behavior. After all, the Minister of Rites is in charge of external affairs, so he can be considered a professional counterpart.
Moreover, the Ming court was engaged in a fierce battle over the issue of Sun Piyang, the imperial censor of Zuodu.
This is the "aftermath" of the war at the end of last year. The Lin Party wants to expel Sun Piyang, and the Lin Party's opponents want to protect Sun Piyang, so they need to fight back against the Lin Party.
Therefore, if he could catch a ride on Lin's opponent, he might be able to urge Lin Tailai to raise troops and go south.
At this time, Sun Piyang, the censor of Zuodu, who was at the center of the storm, suddenly wrote a memorial to lash out at Lin Tailai. The rhetoric was fierce and vicious, surpassing all previous impeachments.
Previously, the most powerful censor Lin Tailai just said that Lin Tailai was "cowardly and afraid of war", but this time Sun Zongxian directly criticized Lin Tailai for "supporting his own troops, deliberately supporting bandits, and having evil intentions."
This kind of impeachment can be said to be a life-or-death affair, with no leeway at all. It is not known what kind of stimulation and pressure Mr. Sun has received.
Anyone with a discerning eye can actually guess that Sun Zongxian's desperate attempt to pull Lin Tai to blow himself up may be a desperate strategy to protect himself.
Faced with Sun Zongxian's memorial, the cabinet must not deal with it easily and must discuss it carefully, so today the cabinet ministers are sitting together in the middle hall for a meeting.
Some elders looked at the look of Zhao Zhigao, the chief assistant, and couldn't help but feel disappointed again.
It stands to reason that the change of seasons is the time when the elderly are most likely to get sick, but why does the old chief minister, who is seventy years old during the Chinese New Year, still look healthy?
Zhao Shoufu did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Sun Piyang's criticism of Lin Tailai is too harsh, but there is no evidence at all. I think it can be regarded as slander and frame-up."
Li Chun, a scholar of Dongge University, also knew that the reason why Sun Piyang was submitted to such a memorial was because he could no longer hold on in the outer court, so he deliberately "handed over" the issue.
Therefore, he must strive to keep Sun Piyang as a comrade in the cabinet, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
"What does it mean to have no evidence at all?" Li Chun said, "Isn't it true that Lin Tailai has been entrenched in Kaicheng for a long time and turned a blind eye to Seoul, which is hundreds of miles away?
In addition, there are many doubts about Lin Tailai's actions. For example, in the past two months, he transferred a large amount of grain and grass to Hamjing Road where there were no Japanese pirates anymore. He was suspected of recruiting troops privately. Why not say that he seemed to be up to no good? "
Li Chun's accusation is very reasonable on the surface.
With transportation being so difficult, tens of thousands of stones of grain and fodder were sent to a remote place without any knowledge of the enemy, and where it was almost impossible to use troops. It was suspicious no matter how you looked at it.
The only reasonable explanation is that he planned to do something secretly in this remote and unobtrusive place.
A general who is commanding troops outside actually does something secretly, that is asking for suspicion!
Old God Zhao Zhigao said thoughtfully: "I also felt suspicious before. After questioning the emperor in detail, I found out that Lin Tailai's accumulation of grain and grass in Xianjing Road was approved by the emperor, but there was no clear purpose."
Li Chun was shocked, "There is secret correspondence between Yuan Rong and the emperor, but our cabinet is completely unaware of it? How unreasonable."
Zhao Zhigao pointed to Sun Piyang's memorial, "This has nothing to do with today's topic! What should be discussed today is Sun Piyang!"
If you are dissatisfied with other matters, please write a separate letter to advise the emperor! "
Sange Lao Zhangwei, who remained neutral on the Sun Piyang issue, asked with great interest: "Why did the emperor allow Lin Tailai to accumulate grain and grass in the remote Xianjing Road?"
Zhao Zhigao repeated: "This has nothing to do with today's theme! Don't add extraneous details!"
How can you talk about mining in the first place? If word spreads, I'm afraid it will provoke a stress reaction from the courtiers again.
Anyway, for the courtiers, it was also politically correct to oppose the emperor's direct mining.
