But it was said that after the Battle of Bitiguan.

In order to save the situation of shortage of troops and food on the Korean battlefield.

Shi Xingyi asked the emperor to take out treasury and military expenses. For the emperor of Wanli, who loved money and was as loyal as his life, he took out 150,000 taels of silver without saying a word.

The second is to send more reinforcements. The emperor also ordered Deputy General Liu Shi to lead 5,000 Sichuan troops and Weizhou General Xu Guozhong to lead 1,000 southern troops to North Korea for reinforcements.

The third is to raise military rations. Of course, this matter was originally sent to Shandong to buy grain, but now it is about Lin Yanchao.

Now let’s talk about Deputy General Liu Jing.

This person is extraordinary. After he was a famous general, his father Liu Xian was not famous now, but at that time he was a famous general who was known as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.

Tan Lun, who led the army with a civil servant, had such an evaluation of Yu Dayou. He said that he was not as gentle as me. He believed in rewards and punished him, and was not as good as relatives. He was not as strong as Liu. However, this was all small knowledge, but he was very grateful.

This kind of galloping is not as strong as Liu, and he refers to Liu Xian.

Liu Jing was quite like a father in the battle, and even became more outstanding. Before the Burmese army invaded Yunnan, it was Liu Jing who led his army to travel through mountains and rivers, won consecutive battles, successfully quelling the rebellion, and was awarded the position of deputy general.

However, because of his outstanding military achievements, Liu Jing was a little arrogant. In addition, he was not good at restraining his subordinates, so his military discipline was quite poor, so he was repeatedly impeached by Wen and Officials.

He was dismissed from the position of deputy general and was promoted to the guerrilla army for his military achievements. This time he took the initiative to fight to aid Korea, so the emperor was appointed as deputy general Liu Zhen.

But Liu Jing's subordinates are also very interesting. Liu Jing likes to recruit soldiers from those who were defeated by him or local natives, or even hire foreigners in the battle.

North Korean official Li Hengfu once went to Liu's army to work hard. As a result, Li Hengfu was confused when he went there. When he came back, he recorded that Liu's troops were led by Siam, Duman, Xiaosi Tianzhu, Liufan, Deleng Kingdom, Miaozi, Xifan, Sansai, Myanmar, Bozhou, Tongpalladium, etc., which can be said to be a veritable multinational force.

At that time, facing the North Korean envoy, Liu Bi always pretended to say that at the age of thirteen, I raised an army with my father and ran rampant in the world, and used these foreigners as servants.

In addition to these multinational troops, Liu Jing also has dozens of sea ghosts under his command. He is said to have dark faces as dark as ghosts and can dive into the seabed.

At that time, the North Koreans had never seen black people so scared, but in fact, it can be guessed that these were black slaves bought by Liu Jing from the Portuguese.

Of course, in history, Liu Shi recruited many Japanese surrendered soldiers in the battle of aiding Korea, and composed a 500-man musket army in his battle to aid Korea. He also appointed a Japanese general as the Thousand General.

Now Liu Shi's five thousand Sichuan soldiers are stationed in Tianjin.

On the way from the capital to Tianjin, Lin Yanchao immediately wrote two memorials to the court.

The first letter was of course impeachment of Gu Xiancheng.

The second letter was to propose to the court to establish a governor of Tianjin to prepare for the coastal defense. This matter was related to the strategy of integrating Denglai and fighting and defense. When Lin Yanchao proposed it in the court's discussion, it was opposed by the diehard officials headed by Shi Xing.

But now Shi Xing has something to ask for, so he should not dare to pull himself back.

Therefore, in the memorial, Lin Yanchao proposed to establish a governor of Tianjin. On the one hand, it focused on coastal defense. In the memorial, it said that if the Korean war situation was unfavorable, the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to invade the entire Korean country and celebrated the two roads, and then they would invade from the sea. When Tianjin Beigong Jingshi and Nantong Canal, if Japanese pirates sailed from the Yalu River, they would arrive in three days, so they should be prepared.

On the one hand, he also took Tianjin and Dengzhou as the foundation to manage Liaodong and North Korea from sea. He asked the court to adjust the navy from Fujian and Zhejiang to Tianjin.

Lin Yanchao fell asleep after writing the memorial on the boat. The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor in the Forbidden City would not have thought that the day of accepting Lin Yanchao's memorial bombing every day from now on has begun.

The next day the ship arrived in Tianjin.

Tianjin turned out to be the mouth of the Yellow River. There was no clear place name before the Northern Song Dynasty. It was not until the Jin Dynasty that the Yellow River seized the Huai River and entered the sea that a city was formed as a place name and was recorded in Shi Ce.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty different from the Ming Dynasty's river and grain strategies, mainly using sea grain to save money, so Tianjin became popular as the center for grain transfer.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, took a boat from Tianjin to the south to compete for the world. In order to commemorate the great Jingnan War, the court named Tianjin with the intention of the emperor crossing the river from this.

At that time, Tianjin did not have a prefecture, but was called Tianjin Guard. Then, the left guard was added, and the right guard was collectively called Tianjin Three Guards.

Tianjin Wei was built in the second year of Yongle. Because it was long in the east and short in the north and south, it was called Ababan City. Its four gates were called Zhendong, Anxi, Dingnan and Gongbei. The city was centered on the Drum Tower and four streets. One end of the street reached the Drum Tower and the other ends of the city gate, and another water gate opened in the southeast corner.

Lin Yanchao walked into the city along the canal.

When they arrived at the Shuiguan, the soldiers guarding the city were very strict in checking the passers-by, and Chen Jichuan directly raised his identity without saying a word.

The eyes of the soldiers guarding the city suddenly changed from fierce and vigilant to extremely obedient, and then immediately reported to the city.

Lin Yanchao looked at the Tianjin Guard in the cabin before he got off the boat. However, although he was affected by the war, the Tianjin Guard was still prosperous. Rows of canal ships were moored on the wharf, and shops on the shore were also coming and going.

Not long after, there was a commotion on the dock. There was a report from the front that Baoding Governor Liu Dongxing, Deputy General Liu Shi and Tianjin soldiers were preparing for the road. Local civil and military officials from all over the world came to the dock to greet him.

Lin Yanchao got off the boat when he heard this.

Liu Dongxing was a native of Zhili. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing and Zhao Zhigao. He was born as a Shuji scholar. He served as the head of the Ministry of Justice after the Sanguan, and was promoted to the governor of Baoding.

But it is said that as the governor of Baoding, Liu Dongxing did not stay in Zhending but was in Tianjin.

It turned out that it was a flood season patrol, and the governor of Baoding usually implemented the strategy of "preventing the enemy from the autumn, and preventing the Japanese from the spring". He was stationed in Tianjin in the spring to prevent the invasion of Japanese pirates from the sea, and moved to Zhending in the autumn to prevent the invasion of northern Mongolia in the autumn.

When Lin Yanchao saw Liu Dongxing, he smiled at his predecessors. Liu Dongxing knew that although Lin Yanchao was young, he had a good official qualification. Moreover, this time he was ordered to govern Korea. Although he did not control his troops, civil servants from all over Ji Liao, Shandong, and Zhili had to obey his orders.

Therefore, Liu Dongxing did not dare to regard himself as a senior Hanlin, so he each called him a set of titles in the officialdom.

Then Lin Yanchao looked at Liu Jing, but saw the other party pressing the knife beside him. However, when he saw Lin Yanchao, he still met with the etiquette in the officialdom. It seemed that he did not dislike civil servants as the rumors said.

But Lin Yanchao keenly felt that there seemed to be a disagreement between Liu Dongxing and Liu Dou.

Lin Yanchao asked Liu Jing: "How long has the General Rong been to Tianjin? Where are the soldiers stationed?"

Liu Jing's face turned red as soon as he heard this. He glanced at Liu Dongxing, and then said to Lin Yanchao: "Reporting to the strategy, the last general has arrived in Tianjin for five or six days. The people and horses are stationed in a remote place ten miles away from the city, and it is difficult to eat. The last general begs several times, but the minister has ordered the troops not to enter the city."

OK, we started to fight as soon as we met!

Lin Yanchao looked at Liu Dongxing when he heard this, but when he saw the other party blushing, he immediately replied to Lin Yanchao: "Reporting to the strategy, since the imperial court recruited large troops to aid Korea last year, all the troops and horses have been eaten in Tianjin. However, since this year, Tianjin, Jinghai, Cangzhou and Hejian have suffered droughts again, and rice prices have soared, which is a waste of life for the people."

"Although the lower officials have ordered local officials to focus on supplying military rations, there are still shortcomings. It is not avoided that the army and soldiers cross the border to stabilize the people. Therefore, the lower officials asked General Liu to station his troops in remote places. What's more, as we all know, the military discipline of General Liu's troops is not very strict!"

Liu Jing couldn't help but act like a slut when he heard this. The knife in the mouth of the civil servant was really a killing without blood.

Lin Yanchao has been in the officialdom for many years, and of course he understands the details, not to mention that Liu Dongxing's words are not completely discredited.

Both sides were suing, and Lin Yanchao was not good at favoritism. He thought for a while and asked, "Why didn't General Liu's troops arrange for the troops to go to sea immediately? Is the sea boat not yet prepared?"

Liu Dongxing sweated on his forehead and said, "I am still waiting for the Ministry of War to transfer the troops to sea first or to transport grain to sea first."

Lin Yanchao pondered for a moment and immediately said, "I will ask the Ministry of War to request an order to transfer the ship to transport General Liu's troops to Dengzhou for food."

"Dengzhou? I heard that Shandong is also short of food."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's okay, the grain from the south will soon go to Dengzhou from Huai'an. As for General Liu's troops at present, the Chief Secretary must provide sufficient supplies and must not let the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition lack food and clothing."

"But after the strategy, the local food and fodder in Tianjin has already reached the bottom."

Lin Yanchao said: "It's okay, I will ask the court to intercept the grain from the 100,000 Shihe River to replenish the local area to relieve the people's poverty."

"Intercepted grain?" Liu Dongxing showed an incredible look.

"Why don't Zhongcheng believe it?" Lin Yanchao glanced at Liu Dongxing.

Liu Dongxing suddenly realized and scolded himself for being confused. In order to let Lin Yanchao leave the town as a second-rank official, Wang Xijue, as the prime minister, did not hesitate to condescend to invite him to his house in person.

The matter of intercepting grain was asked by him to fight a lawsuit with the court, and even if he fought a lawsuit, it might not be able to do so. But for Lin Yanchao, it was really just a matter of one sentence.

Liu Dongxing immediately smiled and said to Liu Jing: "Don't worry, General Liu, military rations will be supplied in a steady stream. I hope to forgive the negligence of the past."

Liu Shi was also unbelievable when he heard this. Lin Yanchao solved his huge problem with just one sentence. Liu Dongxing was arrogant at first and respectful at the same time, not because of himself, but because of Lin Yanchao.

What is a senior official of the court?

If you can't solve the problem of scratching your own scalp, you can easily solve it with just one sentence.

"The officials have prepared a little wine to welcome the officials. Please give us officials of Tianjin a thin face!"

After hearing what Liu Dongxing said, the other officials all said yes.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Lin must drink this wine from Zhongcheng, but there is no hurry. While our local officials are here, we will go back to the yamen to discuss the matter first! You can only be private first, what do you think?"
Chapter completed!
