After the emperor questioned, Chen Ju said, "I think the military ministers and the ritual ministers have different opinions on the matter in Korea, so they have their own opinions. But their hearts are for the country and for the long-term peace and stability of our Ming Dynasty."

"The military minister thought that the defeat of the Korean tribute began in the Battle of Jinzhou, but the civil servants secretly thought how was the battle of Jinzhou? The military minister had not yet reported the detailed battle, and the Ministry of War was not able to investigate. The military ministers were just heard of it. This matter was learned before in the Battle of Pyongyang. The civil servants thought that the battle of Jinzhou should be regained first and then decided to take it."

Zhang Cheng and Tian Yi thought Chen Ju would excuse Lin Yanchao, but he suddenly put the topic aside and directly changed it to the authenticity of the Battle of Jinzhou.

That's right, during the Battle of Pyongyang, Li Rusong's military achievements were collectively questioned by the censors, such as killing more than 10,000 enemies, which is really unbelievable.

Even if Li Rusong took out more than 1,600 heads, he was considered to have made great contributions. Therefore, this time, Lin Yanchao submitted a memorial to destroy 20,000 Japanese pirates in the enemy, and seized countless of them. In terms of the results of the battle, it was still more than twice the battle in Pyongyang. This is a bit unbelievable.

Zhang Cheng said: "Reporting to the emperor, I believe that Chen Ju's words are reasonable. Not only should we prevent repeating the mistakes of the Pyongyang battle, but more importantly, the court cannot disappoint the soldiers of the border army. If Lichen was punished for winning the battle, then there would be people in the court and the government and the government and the government would be punished for falsely claiming military achievements, then the court and the government and the government would be called His Majesty's wise."

"Therefore, the internal ministers think that the battle in Jinzhou is true or false, or even the result of the victory? The Ministry of War and the Censorate can make it possible to discuss it again."

"What if it's up?" the emperor asked.

"If there is really something deceitful about the battle in Jinzhou, and even defeat is a victory, then it is beyond doubt that the two crimes should be punished by the ritual minister Lin Yanchao. If the investigation is true, it will not be too late to make an agreement!"

Listening to Chen Ju's words, Zhang Cheng and Tian Yi both said, "I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

The emperor nodded and said, "In the battle of Jinzhou City, Lin Qing defeated 90,000 enemies with 30,000 people, which really made me suspicious. After hearing what Chen said, I had a suggestion, so I sent officials to Jinzhou to rekan. Six departments, the Censorate, the Ministry of War, and also recruited officials from Shandong and Liaodong. Zhang Cheng also sent the Jinyiwei to verify the matter before giving it back!"

Everyone did not expect that the emperor was so serious. Part of the praising of the war report was a common old habit for the generals to fight, and there were even examples of covering up defeat and winning.

The battle report of Lin Yanchao killing 20,000 yuan seemed to be a little humble, but as Shi Xing submitted a memorial to criticize it, the matter had to be investigated. Of course, the one who punished you was not a crime against your order, but a false report of your military achievements.

So Chen Ju raised this matter to kill Lin Yanchao! I don’t know why he made such a statement.

Therefore, the next day, the news that the court sent five yamen officials to North Korea had spread.

At the same time, the imperial court did not criticize Shi Xing's impeachment and did not commend Lin Yanchao's contributions. The meaning conveyed in this is obvious.

At the same time, rumors of falsely reporting military achievements in the Battle of Jinzhou City also spread in the streets and alleys of Beijing. For many officials and people who had already doubts about the Battle of Jinzhou, such rumors gradually had a market.

In the past, such a victory in the Battle of Jinzhou had long been widely publicized by the court, but this time it was unexpectedly silent. Even the Huangming Times and Xinmin Daily, who have always liked to comment on current affairs, fell into silence at the same time.

On the contrary, after the news of the Battle of Jinzhou reached Japan, it caused shocks across the country.

Such a shock is even comparable to the Yuan army landing in Jiuzhou.

At that time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi summoned Chen Weijing at Nagoya.

Before, after Chen Weijing, Xu Yiguan, Xie Yongzi and others arrived at Nagu House, Toyotomi Hideyoshi warmly welcomed the Ming Dynasty delegation and ordered people to take them to travel around the mountains and rivers. On the other hand, he went to Ukita Hide's family and Governor Konishi instructed him to attack Jinzhou City and slaughter the Korean people.

When Ukita Hidea responded that she had surrounded Jinzhou Castle and was about to go down, Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent diplomat Rinzo to negotiate with the envoy of Ming Dynasty.

Xuanpu Lingsan was still the same as the old man who blamed Japan for invading Korea on North Korea, and then said how Taige admired the Ming Dynasty. As long as the two sides agreed to one conclusion, Japan would even be willing to conquer the Tatars for the Ming Dynasty's front pawns.

Of course, in addition to inducement and coercion, Xuanpu Lingsan said that if the dynasty was not allowed, then Taige would personally lead an army of 200,000 to the Liaodong area to conduct deeper friendly negotiations with the Emperor of Ming.

Xu Yiguan and Xie Yongzi were both frightened by the other party's exaggerated tone.

But Chen Weijing continued to say shamelessly that there were 700,000 troops in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty who were also invading Liaodong to welcome you to visit at any time.

Chen Weijing repeatedly mentioned that the Ming Dynasty's 700,000 troops came to threaten. Although this was a re-prompt, it was very effective for the whole country of Japan. This made Xuanpu Lingsan have to consider it again and again.

After a stalemate between the two sides, Chen Weijing finally grasped the Japanese bottom line and said that if you continue such negotiations, we will definitely not agree.

Xuanpu Lingsan replied to Toyotomi Hideyoshi truthfully, and then told Chen Weijing that I, the Lord Taige, have a lot, and we can take a step back. Among the two conditions of cedeing the four North Korean Dao and the Ming Dynasty, we can reach an agreement to negotiate peace and slaughter the troops as long as we choose one of them.

Chen Weijing said that this matter could be reported back, and whether the answer would depend on the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

After hearing Chen Weijing's words, Lingsan Xuan expressed dissatisfaction. Then Lingsan Xuan was so happy that he discussed with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's confidant military advisor Kuroda Takagao.

At the beginning of the dynasty, Kuroda Takaga was a staff officer and a confidant of the general Ukita Hidea (similar to the prince's master), but Kuroda Takaga always opposed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's war against the dynasty.

Kuroda Takagata was called back to Japan by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In order to avoid Toyotomi Hideyoshi's anger, he became a monk and his name was like Mizuto Kiyoshi.

However, Kuroda Takagata's wisdom is still the most worthy of others in the Toyotomi family or Japan.

Lingsan and Takao Kuroda said that Hideyoshi Toyotomi was preparing to put pressure on the envoys of the Ming Kingdom with the result of the Battle of Jinzhou and force the other party to meet the conditions.

When Kuroda Takagata shook his head and said, "If the Maeda Taki family and Tokugawa Ieyasu were the head coach Masaki, things would be possible, but now the President Konishi and Kato Kiyoshimasa are in the same situation as the same as the Kiyoshi, Ukita Hide's family is not prestige, so the cause of defeat has been planted, where will there be a chance of winning?"

Kuroda Takagao suggested taking advantage of the current advantage and discuss peace with the Ming army early, otherwise it would be too late in the future.

Xuanpu Lingsan did not believe it, but he really waited for the defeat in the Battle of Jinzhou.

Not only was he defeated, Japan also suffered a very bad defeat. Kobayakawa Hidehaki, Kato Kiyoshimasa were captured, and several generals including Yoshiji Otani died in battle or committed suicide by separatism.

President Konishi, Masamune Ida asked for help from the base camp that the defeated army had no intention of fighting after returning to Busan, and was surrounded by Ming and North Korea on all sides (actually not). He begged Toyotomi Hideyoshi to quickly send reinforcements or warships to support him, otherwise more than 100,000 troops would not be able to survive in Japan.

Xuanpu Lingsan was shocked when he saw the reward. He really didn't expect that after waiting for the last result.
