After completing the encirclement of the remaining Japanese pirates, Lin Tianshuai convened Li Rusong, Ma Gui, Li Yu, Chen Lin and other regiment-level generals to discuss the final stage of the battle plan.
Of course, although it is called "Gongshang", most of the generals came with the mentality of "listening to the spirit of the commander-in-chief's latest instructions".
What else can be said about a civilian manager who can advance five times, personally kill two people in front of the battle, and personally capture three people?
The headquarters of the Jinglue shogunate was located in the courtyard of an indigenous Yangban family. When Li Rusong arrived, he did not see Lin Tianshuai.
After questioning, I was told that Lin Tianshuai was talking to the captured Japanese general.
Li Rusong was also a little curious about these captured Japanese generals, so he asked Tianshuai's personal soldiers to take him there.
When I walked outside the door of another courtyard wing, I heard Lin Tianshuai's voice before I even entered.
"Tachibana, I said earlier that your wife was slept with by Toyotomi Hideyoshi just to disturb your mind. It was a strategy on the battlefield.
In fact, they probably haven't slept at all, so why do you need to go on a hunger strike? Only by returning alive can you find out the truth, right?
Besides, the propagation distance of sound is limited. At that time, the only people who could be heard on the battlefield were you and the hundreds of Hatamoto samurai around you.
And most of your Hatamoto warriors were killed in battle because they were not afraid of death, which means that everyone who heard it at the time was already dead."
Li Rusong outside the door couldn't help but laugh out loud. Lin Tianshuai inside the room asked: "Who is outside?"
Li Rusong walked in, saluted Lin Tianshuai, and glanced curiously at Munege Tachibana, who was known as the unparalleled figure in the Western Kingdom of Japan.
When he saw it was Li Rusong, Lin Tianshuai said hello, "Songzi, you came just in time!"
Then Lin Tianshuai pointed at Li Rusong and said to Tachibana Zongmao: "Did you see it? This is Li Rusong, the second best general in our army after me!"
He was the general whom your Tachibana Army encountered in the Battle of Bokutokan and was attacked by you!
At that time, your Tachibana Army almost killed him! It is said that recently, your Tachibana Army was only a few dozen steps away from him."
General Li: "."
Damn it! You shouldn’t have come to see the fun! You can’t get over this matter with Biti Hall, right?
Wasn't it just that we accidentally fell into a siege and then fought our way out? Judging from the battle loss ratio, our side is not defeated!
After finishing the ideological work for Tachibana Muneshige, Lin Tianshuai walked out with a tired look on his face, and asked the accompanying President Konishi and Shen Weijing: "How about Honda Tadakatsu and Haesuka Housekeeper? Are they still looking for life and death?"
President Konishi replied: "Hasuga Housekeeper has persuaded him, but Honda Tadakatsu is still a little unconvinced and feels that the commander-in-chief can win without force."
Lin Tianshuai ordered: "Try to keep the captured Japanese generals alive. It seems that the end of the war is not far away. At this time, the living are more valuable than the dead."
Governor Konishi said angrily: "Many captured Japanese generals are mentally ill and I don't know what they are thinking!"
Everyone: "."
President Xiaoxi, have you forgotten, are you being captured?
Since then, Lin Tianshuai and Li Rusong chatted while drinking tea, waiting for the arrival of other military generals.
"Pine nuts, you owe me again." Lin Tianshuai said, the main thing must be named for good deeds.
General Li didn't want to speak, and silently recalled that he changed from Governor Li Du into a brother, from his brother to pine nuts.
Later, Lin Tianshuai said: "The statistical result of the Battle of the Ulshan was to wipe out the enemy 20,000 and 9,000 people.
"Yes." General Li confessed weakly.
This killing thousands of swords, the help of the DPRK, and fighting early, after playing early! If you hit it again, you are afraid that you will not sign for the sale!
After several other military group -level leaders will come to Qi, Lin Tianshuai will meet directly.
Also attended the governor Xiaoxi, a friend of Lao Kingdom, and Shen Weijing, the Language Tong.
Cui Wukui, the Shogunate and the Korean language, are also present, but standing alone in the corner, like small and transparent.
Looking at Shen Weijing, who was standing beside President Xiaoxi, Cui Wukui was bitter.
Since Tian Shuai entered the south, the situation of dealing with the people has increased sharply.
The situation between the two is completely reversed compared to the previous, and the ups and downs of life are justified.
Judging from the attitude of Tian Shuai, the interest in the country after the war is significantly greater than the Korean country. The future words are definitely more important than the Korean language.
In order to keep up with the pace of Tian Shuai, you have to learn the words?
Shen Weijing naturally did not know that Cui Wukui had the idea of learning the language, and was saying to the general translation:
"Xiao Xijun sent some people to go to various places to find out.
Kobayakawa's Longjing, Yu Xidu's home, Kuroda Changzheng and Disabled Persons and Residuals are in Jinhai, and there are still 20,000 troops;
The Mao Lixiu Yuan Corps was in Donglai, with 30,000 soldiers. This part has not handled it with Tianbing;
Tokugawa Ieyasu, Shimadzu Yoshio, Asano Changzheng's remnants are in Busan, with about 25,000 troops.
In total, there are about 75,000 soldiers in the Juna army, which tightly shrinks in the triangle area of Jinhai, Donglai, Busan, and a large number of soil barriers ..
And from the perspective of the situation of the troops, the military food is temporarily not lacking, and there is a certain reserves. After all, Busan is the old nest and sea and land transportation point of the Military Army, which is normal. "
After the president Xiaoxi and Shen Weijing introduced the situation of the enemy, Lin Tian Shuai said: "From the perspective of combat, we actually have only two choices.
One is to attack, and the flesh and blood of the official army overcome the battalions after another, and finally wiped out or forced the soldiers.
The other is the long -term siege, sealed the sea and land channels of these soldiers, and cut off all the assistance of the soldiers.
As for how long it is to be effective, it may be two or three months, or it may be four or five months, mainly depending on the food of the army. "
There are no different opinions after listening to the generals. The combat is indeed these two ideas, but its advantages and disadvantages.
If you start to attack, the biggest concern is that the official army is definitely a big casualties, and there are not so many North Korean cannon fodder to fill in the position of 75,000 enemy forces.
If the long -term siege strategy is implemented, the consumption of their own money and food will be very large. And it is easy to slack off during the official army and make mistakes.
After all, the current official army who participated in the siege also had 70,000 troops to siege the same number of 75,000 soldiers with the same magnitude, and the fault tolerance rate was very low.
When the crowd weighed his heart, President Xiaoxi suddenly stood out and said through Shen Weijing's translation:
"The war hit this situation, and the victory or defeat is no longer a problem, so you should start considering the income problem.
Compared to destroying the trapped beasts with war means, it may be more cost -effective to use other means.
The enemy forces besieged in Busan are not just trapped beasts. From another perspective, why not our hostages?
There are also these captives, all of which are very good chips. "
Others looked at Tian Shuai, but Tian Shuai didn't speak, and others would not make a statement.
So President Xiaoxi continued: "Under the bottom, you can conclude that using these besieged enemy forces as a bargaining chip and negotiating with Toyotomi Taige will definitely get greater benefits!"
Li Rusong couldn't help asking: "What are the benefits of all?"
President Xiaoxi for example: "The simplest, such as 100,000 ransoms! This is the most basic, let alone other benefits."
Hearing this, the generals felt that they were moved by President Xiaoxi, and they looked at Lin Tian Shuai.
Tian Shuai said slowly: "It's not enough for hundreds of thousands of ransom."
President Xiaoxi said: "If you want more, you can talk about it. After all, the initiative is exactly in the hands of Tian Shuai.
There is not much room for bargaining the enemy, unless they are stupid enough to be overwhelmed by the whole army. "
Lin Tianshuai said again: "But the copper mine in Jiashan County still needs miners."
President Xiaoxi said: "The mining is still to make money, and it is hard money. If there is a more convenient method, go directly to extortion, the benefit is not worse than mining."
Lin Tianshuai will ask the public: "What do you think?"
The generals said uniformly: "But with the handsome order!"
Lin Tianshuai said: "Whether or not to extort. Ah or not, whether the decision to negotiate is in the court, and we cannot do it without authorization.
Let's first report to the court and ask the court to authorize!
Prior to this, you still should not be slacked, and still have to prepare for the whole army, actively besieged, and prepare for the attack at any time. "
President Xiaoxi also made a suggestion: "At present, the general general of the enemy is Tokugawa Ieyasu, but Tokugawa Ieyasu probably has not been authorized.
Tianshuai might as well send someone to make preliminary contacts with Tokugawa Ieyasu, so that Tokugawa Ieyasu can be mentally prepared, and then let them go back to China on a ship to ask for instructions from Taigu."
Lin Tianshuai nodded and said: "We can make contact first, and let Shen Weijing act as the envoy to go to the Japanese camp to meet Tokugawa Ieyasu."
The reason why Mr. Konishi is not allowed to go is because the last time Mr. Konishi acted as a messenger, his behavior was too hateful.
I was afraid that if I sent Governor Konishi there again, the Japanese would ignore the identity of the envoy and directly kill him as a traitor.
The next day Shen Weijing took the order and left for Busan to meet Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Standing in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Shen Weijing asked directly: "How much rations do you have left?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu asked: "As an envoy, don't you feel offended and disrespectful by asking this question?"
Shen Weijing replied: "I just want to know, Da Nayan, how much time you have to save yourself. Otherwise, when the time comes, we will both be destroyed."
Tokugawa Ieyasu said displeasedly: "If you are here to persuade us to surrender, then please come back. This is absolutely impossible."
Shen Weijing added: "Now that the victory or defeat is actually decided, fighting again will be in vain, so the way out for your entire army is definitely not to fight.
You might as well be prepared to solve the problem through negotiation, and maybe you can find a way out.
As long as you can agree to Tianshuai's conditions, then surrender is not necessarily the only way to survive."
After pondering for a long time, Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "This matter needs to be reported to the Taige and can only be negotiated with the approval of the Taige."
Shen Weijing replied: "This is what it should be. We, the Ming Dynasty Navy, can release a Japanese ship to return home."
Then Tokugawa Ieyasu said: "I don't believe the rhetoric of you messengers, so I want to meet with Lin Jinglue in person.
Get the confirmed information directly from Lin Jinglue, and then report it to Taige."
Perhaps because of the psychological shadow caused by Governor Konishi last time, Tokugawa Ieyasu now lost trust in the messengers who passed the message in the middle, and decided to get rid of the "middlemen" to make a profit on the price difference, and talk directly to Tianshuai himself.
However, Shen Weijing was quite speechless about this. It's not that Tokugawa Ieyasu was unworthy. In terms of status, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Lin Tianshuai could be considered equal.
But, Tokugawa Ieyasu, are you sure that meeting Lin Tianshuai will not have a greater psychological impact?
Why do you think that Tianshuai is more "easy to talk to" than the messenger?
Finally, Shen Weijing agreed and said, "I can convey Dayan's request to Tianshuai, and I believe Tianshuai will not refuse to meet him.
But don't have too high expectations, Danayan, maybe you will find that it is more comfortable to deal with the envoy, or you are more approachable."
Then Shen Weijing returned to the shogunate headquarters with Tokugawa Ieyasu's request.
After discussion, Lin Tianshuai and Tokugawa Ieyasu met three miles outside Jinhai City three days later.
This was Tokugawa Ieyasu's first time seeing the legendary Daimyoushuai with his own eyes. The height of his raised hand seemed not as high as the opponent's pure height. When they stood together, his whole body was shrouded in the shadow of the other person.
So Tokugawa Ieyasu completely understood why Kato Kiyomasa was beaten to death with three punches, and why Honda Tadakatsu and Ii Naomasa were captured alive after just one confrontation.
However, Tokugawa Ieyasu's mentality was very stable and he was not completely shocked. Because he had seen too many people who were stronger than him, he had long been tempered and lost his temper.
So Tokugawa Ieyasu can still speak fluently: "I heard that your Excellency wants to negotiate peace."
Lin Tianshuai immediately interrupted Tokugawa Ieyasu and said rudely: "You have to make it clear that this is definitely not a peace negotiation, and you are not qualified to negotiate a peace.
There is only one question to discuss, what conditions can you use to buy your own life back?"
Tokugawa Ieyasu did not take the word game seriously and asked pragmatically: "What conditions do you have?"
Lin Tianshuai said: "The first and most basic condition is that the Japanese country pays me three million shi of rice as compensation to the Ming Dynasty!"
Tokugawa Ieyasu was stunned. He had a premonition that Lin Tianshuai would open his mouth like a lion, but he still didn't expect it to be so big!
After Tokugawa Ieyasu came to his senses, he asked: "Is this stone your Ming Dynasty stone?"
Lin Tianshuai said matter-of-factly: "In order to facilitate your statistics, of course we use your Japanese weight and measurement! So the stones used here are your Japanese stones!"
The weight of a piece of Japanese rice may be one and a half times that of Akashi. Only fools use Akashi at this time.
Tokugawa Daigan was silenced. The nominal total wealth of the Japanese kingdom was about 18 million, and the actual amount that was concealed was more than 20 million.
Three million shi of rice was equivalent to approximately one-seventh of the annual output of the Japanese nation. How could it be possible to afford the compensation?
Tokugawa Ieyasu said helplessly: "Your Excellency is really not sincere in saying such figures."
Lin Tianshuai snorted coldly: "Do you think I am just talking nonsense? The figure of three million stone in compensation was obtained after careful calculation, and it is completely justified!
If you don’t believe me, I can reconcile the bill with you now!”
