Chapter 762: Sharing the Blessings and Facing the Difficulties Alone

Chapter 762: Sharing the Blessings and Facing the Difficulties Alone
Qi Jiguang's plan was to launch a general attack on Chungju in September or October, forcing the Japanese pirates into the Busan defense circle before the end of this year and ending the Korean War before next summer.

This is the further strategic plan mentioned by Qi Jiguang in the victory report.

There are intervals in war, just like people need to breathe. The Ming army is not the Japanese pirates, and massacre and bloody rule are not the style of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Army was the royal army. After occupying Seoul and Incheon, the first thing the Ming Army had to do was to digest the situation and maintain basic stability before continuing to attack. This was also the reason why the Ming Army fought slowly. However, unlike the hasty occupation of the Japanese pirates, once the Ming Army conquered a piece, it would not lose it again, and the stability of its rule was much higher.

Under the Ming Dynasty's artillery advantage, Zhongzhou's city defense was almost nonexistent.

But Ling Yunyi meant that if the Ming Dynasty still wanted to destroy the Japanese pirates, it should use Chungju to bleed them. Busan would not work because the Busan defense circle was too small. When the situation was hopeless, the Japanese pirates would definitely withdraw from Busan, and Busan and Chungju would be just the right place.

"Your Majesty, as long as the Japanese pirates still have a little illusion about the Zhongzhou defense line, this plan can succeed." Ling Yunyi said with certainty: "When people see a little hope, they will invest manpower, material resources and financial resources, just like gamblers. When they lose money, they will keep losing."

"It just so happens that the Japanese pirates are just a group of gamblers."

Ling Yunyi knew the Japanese pirates very well. He was also a senior figure who had made his mark in the suppression of the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates loved to gamble. If they won, they would make a lot of money. If they lost, they would retreat back to lick their wounds and wait for the next opportunity to gamble again.

As long as the Japanese pirates still want to defend Zhongzhou, they will fall into the rhythm of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhongzhou is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away. Giving it up is equivalent to giving up the ambitions you have always had, but if you don't give up, you will have to fill it with people, food, and supplies. When the Japanese pirates realize that they have fallen into the rhythm of the Ming Dynasty, they will suddenly find that the cost they have invested is too high and they can no longer get out.

This was Ling Yunyi's plan. The Ming Dynasty set up a meat grinder in Chungzhou to consume the young and middle-aged people of Japan. This was cruel, but what the Japanese pirates did to the Ming Dynasty was even more cruel. All the human tragedies happening in Korea now have happened to the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Keyi and Sun Kehong were the only two brothers left in their family. Chen Tiande was even castrated and tortured. His only purpose in life was to take revenge and kill the Japanese pirates. This was all part of the tragedy in the world.

The Ming Dynasty allowed Tuman Khan to surrender but did not allow the Japanese pirates to surrender.

"I'm just worried that the Ming army will suffer heavy losses if the meat is minced for a while." Zhu Yijun's face showed some hesitation. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty began to feel sorry for the soldiers on the front line. He even worried about the losses of the Ming army by using the meat-mincing tactics.

It is no wonder that the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp are loyal and fanatical. Your Majesty often does not consider his own ambitions or achievements, but rather the hard work of the soldiers.

Kindness does not command the army. If Your Majesty does not command the army, kindness becomes goodness.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Army is at its strongest now, and the Ming Dynasty has the initiative. Once the losses are felt to be a bit too great, the Japanese pirates will be driven back to the sea. The Japanese pirates are the meat on the chopping board." Ling Yunyi said with a smile.

If the losses are heavy, then we will just attack and destroy Chungju and drive the Japanese pirates back to the sea. The Ming army will then have the initiative. If the Japanese pirates are not convinced, they can try the power of the line formation.

"Hmm? Yes, the initiative is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Good!" Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Ling Butang is right."

Ling Yunyi hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself, hiding what he wanted to say in his heart. There was no need to explain some dirty tricks to His Majesty so clearly. It was enough for him to give His Majesty a loyal North Korea.

Zhongzhou's meat-mincing tactics were only the beginning of his huge plan. This already very dark plan was only the beginning.

Ling Yunyi planned to use the Battle of Chungju to impose military control in the areas occupied by the Ming army, and to use the tight situation on the front line to purge some people on the charge of collaborating with the Japanese. At least, those middle-class people who were descendants of the civil and military classes would be cleared out. The families of these illegitimate sons of wealthy and powerful families were the chronic disease of Korea.

It is not over yet. As long as the battle in Zhongzhou is still going on, the main responsibility of the Ming army will be the battle of Zhongzhou. When the main forces are concentrated on the front line, some mountain bandits will show their vigorous vitality, gather in the mountains and forests, rob and loot everywhere, and do evil.

The more arrogant these mountain bandits are, the more harm the Koreans suffer, and the more afraid they become. They are so afraid that they dare not have any second thoughts about the Ming Dynasty. They are absolutely loyal!
Ling Yunyi has always been like this. He never believes in gratitude or favors, and he doesn't need to repay them. He only believes in fear.

Anywhere there was dissatisfaction with the distribution of land, the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong Army, with its limited manpower of 20,000, could not patrol there and take advantage of the game between different classes to achieve its own political goals.

This is what Ling Yunyi realized after reading the third volume and learning about the Tax Inspection Bureau system in detail. He realized that the different classes had reached a consensus through bargaining, and the consensus represented the recognition of the Ming Dynasty, represented the centripetal force, and represented the Ming Dynasty's coreization of the Korean territory.

"Your Majesty, sometimes the Ming Dynasty is too kind in doing things, which is not a good thing. For example, the Thirteen Departments of Jiaozhi and the Duke of Yingguo, Zhang Fu, had been a little more ruthless, Jiaozhi would not have been in this situation now." Ling Yunyi thought about it and decided to prepare your Majesty mentally in advance. He will show some cruel methods next and hopes that your Majesty will not mind.

"Don't worry, Lingbu Tang. No matter what happened, it was I who ordered you to come to the court and destroy the Japanese." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

All the crimes that happened in North Korea were the responsibility of Zhu Yijun. According to the Spring and Autumn Annals, Ling Yunyi was also a capable minister of the country and it was not his turn to be scolded.

Zhu Yijun opened the drawer of the imperial study, took out a vermilion book, wrote a few words on it, then took the seal on the table, stamped it, and said with a smile: "When Ling Bu Tang goes to Korea, I will give you an additional 1.5 million silver, 500,000 shi of grain, 3,000 muskets, 500 tiger squat cannons, and send three agricultural doctors and three geographers from Baoqisi. These agricultural doctors and geographers are very valuable and cannot be lost."

"You always need some money to get things done."

Regardless of other things, Doctor of Agriculture and Geography are important. It seems that one and a half million taels of silver can train a lot of Doctor of Agriculture and Geography. After all, the training cost of one Doctor of Agriculture and one Geography is only one hundred and twenty taels of silver each. But Zhu Yijun never thinks that silver is more valuable than gold.

"Your Majesty, this is against the rules." Ling Yunyi looked at the silver and grain withdrawal tickets that were already in his hand. Instead of thanking him, he reminded His Majesty that the money came from the inner treasury and did not follow the procedures.

He ruled Korea with funding from the imperial court. Once he took the money, it became his own and he had the final say on how to use it.

"Take it. Rules or not, are there rules for the Japanese pirates to invade Korea? Special matters should be handled specially." Zhu Yijun handed the check for money and grain to Feng Bao and said with a smile: "Silver can't make silver in the treasury, and grain will only get moldy. Just take it and use it."

Ling Yunyi bowed his head solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

Your Majesty is always like this. To sum it up, we share the good times and face the difficulties alone.

The court has never stopped attacking Ling Yunyi over the years. When he arrived in the capital, some people went to Gujie Station to surround him and use him to improve his reputation. This did not hurt him, but it was quite annoying.

Your Majesty protected him from the wind and rain for fourteen years.

Zhang Juzheng wrote several letters to Ling Yunyi, many of which were critical, saying that he was too hasty, bloodthirsty, and too decisive, but Your Majesty never held him accountable. You even shielded him from the temptations of being the Imperial Adviser and the Imperial Tutor.

Wan Shihe's retirement does not mean the disbandment of the Imperial Party. On the contrary, the real leader of the Imperial Party is only Your Majesty himself, and Wan Shihe has always acted as a mouthpiece, responsible for explaining Your Majesty's actions and finding legal basis for His Majesty's actions, that is, the ancestral laws.

Your Majesty always protects the civil and military officials who really want to do their job very well. They don't have to pay attention to the storms in the court and can fully display their talents.

When Zhu Yijun saw Ling Yunyi accept the money, he smiled brightly and said, "Oh, by the way, you can only take 800 of the 1,500 foreign soldiers in Henan. I will give the remaining 700 to Xu Xuemo. After all, he also needs to maintain the situation in Henan."

"My dear minister, when you arrive in Korea, expand your 800 foreign soldiers to 3,000. If there is not enough money and food left in Korea, just tell me. This is the only way I can make money."

Ling Yunyi's 1,500 guest soldiers could not all be taken away, only 800 could be taken away. This was also part of the reason why Zhu Yijun gave them silver and food.

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Ling Yunyi bowed again and chose to leave. He couldn't say for sure what would happen in the future, and no one could say for sure. But as for the land of Korea, even if Ye Shu from the west came, it would be useless for Your Majesty!
Ling Yunyi knew very well that this was a favor. There were so many governors and governors in the Ming Dynasty. Who could take his own private soldiers and run around the country when he took office? The last person who could do this was Huang Chao.

Ling Yunyi took these three thousand guest soldiers from Jiangxi to Guangdong, from Guangdong to Shandong and then to Henan. His Majesty always let him take private soldiers with him to take up posts everywhere.

However, when Ling Yunyi thought about it carefully, he realized that what he did was actually no different from what Huang Chao did, except that his actions were legal.

When Ling Yunyi walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion, he was stopped by Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong handed Ling Yunyi a scroll of imperial edict and said with a smile: "The imperial edict from His Majesty ordered us to do things according to His Majesty's instructions. His Majesty said that North Korea is a barren place. Lingbu Tang has worked hard. Lingbu Tang, please take care of yourself."

Ling Yunyi looked back at the imperial study in Tonghe Palace and strode out of the palace. He had already taken care of Guangdong, Shandong, and Henan. Why should he be afraid of North Korea? He would definitely clean up everything for His Majesty!
Zhu Yijun looked at the pile of memorials in front of him, reached out and took out one, and said with a smile: "Which is more beautiful, the way I sign the check or the way the Shah's envoy throws the money bag?"

"You are so beautiful, how can the Shah's envoy compare to you? The glow of a rotten grass cannot compare to the bright moon in the sky!" Feng Bao said cheerfully, "Your Majesty, even if Shah Mamtim threw away his money bags for ten years, he would not be able to throw away 1.5 million silver and 500,000 grains."

The Shah's envoys are indeed generous, but compared with Your Majesty, they are really no match. The Shah's envoys are really not as rich as Your Majesty. Even a thousand Shah's envoys stacked together would not be enough.

"Haha, you've been thinking about how to flatter the emperor all day, right?" Zhu Yijun smiled and began to review memorials. For some memorials inquiring about the emperor's health, Zhu Yijun stamped them with 'I got it', which was considered an automatic reply to prevent court officials from drowning out valid information with large-scale data streams.

In the war in the southwest, the Duke of Qian's Mansion captured two more mountain strongholds and continued to advance in an orderly manner towards the Toungoo Royal City.

Mang Yingli paid an unknown price, but he barely managed to keep his throne. However, he was no longer able to organize a counterattack. The Ming Dynasty's expansion in the southwest had already recovered Mengyang, Nandian, Menggen Prefecture, and Cheli Xuanwei Office.

The Ming Dynasty has already fully bordered Laos.

Dao Lansheng, the southern commander of the Laotian Xuanwei Division, traveled across mountains and rivers with seven carts of goods to Dali, where he met Mu Changzuo, the Duke of Qian. The seven carts were all filled with Jingjue salt (potash salt) needed by the Ming Dynasty. Dao Lansheng thanked the Ming Dynasty for giving him his surname again and gave it to the Ming Dynasty as a gift.

Dao Lansheng knew very well that the Ming Dynasty was too lazy to care about Laos because Laos really didn't have anything that the Ming Dynasty was interested in. The Ming Dynasty also had those straw mats, melons and fruits. As long as the Ming Dynasty paid more attention to Laos and showed some favor, their lives would be much better.

Now that we finally have Jingjue salt, of course we have to serve it quickly.

"Your Majesty, after Dao Lansheng changed his name back to his original name, the Kingdom of Annan no longer dared to force Dao Lansheng to pay tribute." Feng Bao added the details with a smile.

It’s not that Annan doesn’t want to be the bully of Indochina, but it doesn’t dare. After being beaten three times by the Ming Dynasty, it is already very clear about the Ming Dynasty’s strength. It would be fine if it took advantage of the Ming Dynasty’s vacuum period to become the king, but the Ming Dynasty is back and it still doesn’t know its own weight. Wouldn’t it be like a monkey jumping up and down?
After Cheli Xuanweisi was recaptured by the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and Laos were directly bordering each other, and Dao Lansheng also received a promise that as long as Annan dared to take action, it would only need to resist for more than a month before the Ming army would arrive.

"This thing can actually increase weight when added to water and fertilizer. Nature is so magical." Feng Bao felt that Jingjue salt was magical. He didn't add much, but it worked.

"Feng Daban, you should focus on government affairs and learn from me. Sometimes I don't understand what the Royal Academy of Gewu is doing. It's the world of geniuses that we mortals really don't understand. No wonder the people think that the people living in the Academy of Gewu are gods." Zhu Yijun approved the memorials and focused his energy on government affairs.

The world of genius should be different from the world of ordinary people, and it must be very exciting.

"Here is a memorial from the Jiekuyuan." Zhu Yijun was stunned, and then he opened it and read it for a long time. After the Jiekuyuan had a large number of specimens, the Jiekuyuan of the Ming Dynasty banned some harmful prescriptions in the past. For example, the main ingredients of the tranquilizing soup were cinnabar, realgar, scorpion, fried silkworm, licorice, and lead white frost.

Among them, cinnabar is the most harmful, because it is actually mercury. After studying the specimens, it was found that mercury cannot be metabolized at all. Long-term intake will cause mental confusion, madness, unexplained tremors, etc., and then concentrate in the kidneys to destroy reproductive ability.

Lead white frost is lead ground into powder. When the human body ingests a large amount of lead, it will become drowsy. Long-term use of tranquilizing soup with lead white frost as the main ingredient will cause lead to accumulate in the kidneys, and cause the same harm as mercury, including anemia, hemolysis, cerebral and cerebellar atrophy, gastric ulcers, etc.

Cinnabar and lead white frost are not cheap. Poor people have trouble making ends meet. Even some powerful people cannot afford these things.

If the child makes a fuss, just give him a spanking.

When Li Shizhen, the chief physician of the Jiekuyuan, said this, he told His Majesty with great sorrow that there was a group of people who were very rich and had no worries about food and clothing. Moreover, they could not hit their children when they cried, and they needed to take tranquilizing soup with lead white frost as the main ingredient regularly. This group was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and his sons and grandchildren.

Some princes and princesses were very noisy. They jumped up and down in the palace and cried loudly at night. They could not be hit or scolded, so calming soup mainly composed of lead white frost was used in large quantities in the palace.

Li Shizhen also believed that the Ming emperors were generally short-lived, which might be related to their noble status and the large amount of tranquilizing soup they took, which was mainly composed of lead white frost.

The Ming Dynasty's inheritance law was the system of primogeniture. If there was a legitimate son, the eldest son would be the heir apparent. If there was no legitimate son, the eldest son would be the heir apparent. Therefore, the more noble the status of the prince, the more lead white frost he would ingest. Parents who had children knew that it was inevitable for their children to cry and they could not beat them. All they could do was give them a bowl of calming soup.

Li Shizhen also pointed out that looking up the Song Dynasty Pharmacopoeia, there were already prescriptions for lead evil entering the body, qi stagnation and blood stasis, as well as Quyu Jiedu Decoction, but because of Hu Yuan's taking over, many old classics were discontinued. Since the establishment of the Jieku Hospital, he visited many great doctors and searched for the old classics to complete them.

After the Jie Ku Hospital's research on the specimens, it was found that the Qu Yu Jie Du Decoction was just a placebo and had no effect, and the lead would still remain in the kidneys.

Li Shizhen was even more outspoken, saying that according to old records from the Imperial Medical Bureau, the supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty also drank a tranquilizing soup containing lead white frost as a main ingredient when he was a child, and that His Majesty is fine now, all because of the large amount of exercise that accelerates his metabolism.

Your Majesty is a martial artist and has gotten rid of all the lead from his childhood.

These are all bad news. The good news is that since the establishment of the Jiekuin, lead white frost has been removed from the pharmacopoeia, and these mercury, lead, and metal herbs have been completely banned.

"Your Majesty, please send troops to the Imperial Medical Bureau to execute all nine generations of the clan!" Feng Bao said with a very sad face. This was the only solution.

"No need. If you want to blame someone, just blame the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty. After all, everything has been in decline for the past hundred years under the Yuan Dynasty. Where is the girl? Call her over." Zhu Yijun did not agree to send troops to the Imperial Hospital, but instead asked someone to call Queen Wang over. In a hurry, Zhu Yijun did not even call her "wife".

Should we blame the doctors in the Imperial Hospital? It was already confirmed in the Song Dynasty that this thing was harmful. After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, many of the experiences formed in the past were not smoothly passed down, just like the "Zhuishu" of Zu Chongzhi and his son was lost.

"Your Majesty, why are you so anxious?" Wang Yaozhuo came hurriedly and asked with a serious face. His Majesty has always been calm, a heroic lord who remains unmoved even when faced with a collapse of Mount Tai, and he has never been so anxious and flustered.

"Look at this." Zhu Yijun handed over the memorial. He certainly knew the harm of lead, but he had never taken any calming soup, and he had no idea that the Ming Dynasty was still using lead frost as medicine. He was not sure whether the children had taken all kinds of strange calming soups.

After reading the memorial, Wang Yaozhuo breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Ah, husband, please don't bother me. The children don't need to be given tranquilizing soup. They are just beaten directly. Zhier is beaten every day."

"Why?" Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion.

Wang Yaozhuo smiled and said, "Isn't this a sign of frost? This lead white frost is too expensive to buy."

"My lady, you are so bold that you even tease me!" Zhu Yijun saw that Wang Yaozhuo was so relaxed and could even make jokes, and it was obvious that she really didn't need these calming soups.

"Actually, it's not that I'm frugal, it's mother who spoils children too much. She's afraid that they will melt if she holds them in her mouth, and she's afraid that they will run away if she holds them in her hands. How can this be possible? Zhier is about to reach school age. If she continues to be spoiled like this, I'm afraid he will become a lawless nobleman." Wang Yaozhuo followed her husband all day long, and she saw everything her husband saw.

She had already read the manuscript of the fourth volume of Theory of Class.

Zhu Yijun was not threatening Zhang Juzheng, he was really writing the fourth volume. He was the emperor and his words were law.

Wang Yaozhuo really witnessed the affection between grandparents and grandchildren. Not only Empress Dowager Li, but also Empress Dowager Chen doted on their children. Wang Yaozhuo also wanted to dote on them. That would be indulgence of the prince and he would become a disaster for the country.

Wang Yizhuo seemed to think of something interesting. He smiled and sat aside, sitting beside Zhu Xijun, whispered: "When King Wang was a child, he was not afraid of his mother.

"When Prince Lu was six years old, he urinated in a palace maid's bowl and asked them to drink it, saying it was a reward. He thought it was just a game, but when his husband found out, he beat him up and told him about the old story of Emperor Shizong being assassinated by a palace maid. Prince Lu was so scared that he couldn't sleep for several days."

"Mother knew, but she only said, 'A loving mother often spoils her child.'"

Children don't know right from wrong, and when they are not punished, they will not remember what you are saying. In fact, Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen also knew that loving mothers often spoil their children, but they just couldn't bear to do it.

Zhu Changzhi was memorizing the multiplication table (which had existed since the Qin Dynasty), but he did not memorize it carefully. Only after being beaten up by Wang Yaozhuo did he finally memorize it carefully and thoroughly, because there would be punishment for not doing things seriously.

It was a little inconvenient for the emperor to beat Zhu Changzhi because they were not only father and son but also monarch and subject. Moreover, as the eldest son, Zhu Changzhi's position as crown prince was almost certain. Wang Yaozhuo did not have that concern. Wang Yaozhuo could not bear to see his son's position as crown prince being taken away by others.

After Wang Yaozhuo entered the palace, Your Majesty has already developed the character he has now. Your Majesty's growth experience has no reference value at all.

At that time, the ruler was young and the country was in chaos. Your Majesty shouldered the responsibilities of the country and the people. The pressure was enormous. He had to act like an adult at the age of ten. Only every five days, when Your Majesty listened to her playing in the side hall of Wenhua Palace, could he relax.

At that time, the only emotion Wang Yaozhuo felt from the emperor was loneliness, the loneliness of being isolated from the world.

But Prince Lu, this troublemaker, was cultivated bit by bit by the emperor. Although Prince Lu's regent did not seem to have made any great contributions, he handled state affairs very properly and knew exactly what he could and should do, and what he could not do. Being able to supervise the country well was a great achievement in itself.

Prince Lu’s growth experience is very valuable for reference.

"Your Majesty, Li Yashi has made up three more rumors." Feng Bao felt that Li Yashi had turned into a lowly scholar, so he spoke ill of Li Yashi in front of the queen. He threatened to punish all the lowly scholars and civil servants.

Li Yashi made up three Ming Dynasty jokes.

"several?"

"Three!"

Feng Bao found a memorial and handed it to His Majesty.

"Is he crazy?!" Zhu Yijun opened the memorial, and after reading it, he slammed the table and said, "In the future, make up a story to send him to the Northern Pacification Office to stay for ten days! For these three, let him stay for thirty days. He's spoiled!"

"Don't you know how to choreograph? Let him choreograph as much as he wants! It's better for him to stay inside and not come out!"

The reason why he was not beheaded was because Li Yashi was telling the truth.

The first joke is: A man fell into the moat and cried for help, but no one passed by. When he was about to drown, he suddenly had an idea and shouted loudly: I owe ten cents in taxes! Two tax collectors appeared from nowhere, jumped into the moat and rescued him, and made him pay the tax.

The second joke is: A martial arts hero assassinated a Shanxi merchant. Because of his high martial arts skills and sophisticated methods, he did not leave any evidence. The yamen runners and constables took turns to hunt for him, but they could not find any trace of him. The Shanxi merchant offered a sky-high reward, and all the martial arts heroes were chasing him, but they could not find him. Suddenly, he was arrested because he did not pay taxes on the weapons he bought.

The third joke is: A wealthy businessman was terminally ill. On his deathbed, he arranged his funeral arrangements and passed away. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, ran to the tax inspection office in a hurry, paid the profit tax, and then lay down on the bed and left with peace of mind. He had used up his exemption twice, and if he did not pay the tax, his house would be confiscated.

These three jokes all satirize the same thing: the Tax Collectors were obviously an important detective force in the Ming Dynasty, and their detective capabilities were extremely strong. They were omnipresent and even death was inevitable, but the Tax Collectors were only responsible for collecting taxes and nothing else.

If the Tax Inspection Office was to be responsible for other things besides tax inspection, it would soon become the Inquisition. Zhu Yijun had no way to take it back, and it would eventually turn into separatist regimes.

"Husband, I will go to the bedroom to wait for His Majesty." Wang Yaozhuo looked at the memorials on the table and knew that His Majesty still had state affairs to attend to, so he waved his sleeves and chose to leave.

Ling Yunyi's ship arrived in Seoul in mid-September. After Incheon was recovered, the Ming army's fleet could go directly to Seoul. Qi Jiguang had already been waiting at the Han River dock.

"Where is this place originally?" Ling Yunyi passed by a pavilion and saw a couplet, which signaled vehicles heading to Gyeongbokgung Palace to stop.

There is a couplet on the pavilion. The first line reads: A real man serves his country on the battlefield and sharpens his spear. The second line reads: A humble woman devotes herself to her country and opens the door to her family. The horizontal banner reads: Sacrifice oneself for the country.

Qi Jiguang sighed and said, "The biggest teahouse that the Japanese pirates set up in Seoul was for military prostitutes. When the Ming army arrived, they rescued those women. There were nearly a hundred military prostitutes, and more than a dozen of them committed suicide by jumping into the Han River."

"Once Seoul is cleaned up, we will tear this place down and rebuild it."

Ling Yunyi stopped the car, stood in front of the door, looked for a long time, nodded and said: "Don't tear it down and rebuild! Clean it up here and set up the Byeongxu Japanese Invasion Shrine here! Let the Koreans know at all times what it means to be a slave of a conquered country!"

"Yi Sun had a concubine who was pregnant. Later, Japanese pirates came and she could not escape. She fed milk to Konishi Yukinaga's dog. A statue was erected at the entrance."

"Well, this place is well connected and not far from the Han River Pier, so it's the most suitable place."

"This is not good. Isn't this like rubbing salt into the hearts of the Koreans?" Qi Jiguang frowned. Ling Yunyi and Liang Menglong were indeed a little different.

Ling Yunyi said with certainty: "How can you remember sweetness without adding salt?"
