Wanli 1592

Chapter 160 Chen Lin Arrives
But the good thing is that Chen Lin is already in his 60s, and many things have already been taken care of. In this routine life, Chen Lin has seen many strange monsters and monsters. From the initial anger to the later drifting, He no longer insists on many things.

He read some Wang Yangming's books and was deeply influenced by Wang Yangming's thoughts. He believed that as long as he was upright, even using some despicable means to achieve the goal of justice was acceptable, as long as he persisted in his heart.

It's just that now Chen Lin can't tell whether he is the corrupt old guy they say or the Wang Yangming-style Confucian general he once insisted on.

"Chaojue, it seems to be raining, and the wind is not small, you'd better get into the cabin to take shelter!"

Deng Zilong walked out of the cabin behind Chen Lin and reminded him with concern.

Chen Lin turned around and saw his old comrade-in-arms for many years. With a wry smile, he said, "I really hope that the rain can wake me up, and tell me why I am fighting and why I am fighting." In the end, in the end, he is not even as good as a young man in his 20s, fighting for [-] years, Li Guang is hard to beat!"

Deng Zilong smiled and comforted him: "You're thinking wildly again. Although Xiao Ruxun is an admiral and an earl, he is only in his 20s. Although you are a subordinate in name, Xiao Ruxun was born in the Northwest and knows nothing about water warfare. You still have to ask me to help you." Relying on you, we old brothers can all listen to you, how many years of tacit understanding and experience are in it, it can't be changed by Xiao Ruxun with a word."

"Having said that, he is indeed the only military general with the title of admiral in the past few years. You haven't seen Shibutang like that. He seems to be on guard against the old man. He has warned the old man several times to obey Xiao Ruxun's command and arrangement, saying that he is the last Knowing the current situation in North Korea, you can't mess around. This old man really didn't like it when he heard it. I lived and died for Daming for 40 years, but in the end I was so mistrusted..."

Chilling...

Chen Lin didn't finish his words, but the meaning was already in this way. To be honest, Deng Zilong also complained about Chen Lin's grievances. He fought for forty years, and fought for dozens of battles. How much credit did he make?Just because of a little mistake, the work of putting down the rebellion through life and death was written off. Do you think the court is too partial?
Yes, Xiao Ruxun killed a lot of captives and took back Ningxia, which is a great achievement, but, are we veteran frontier generals who have been working hard for so many years not as good as Xiao Ruxun?This world is more than just Li Guang's hard to seal?He Chen Lin, and I Deng Zilong, why not?
"Forget it, what's the point of saying this? Xiao Ruxun is also from a family of military generals, so he should at least know the rules. Moreover, his military exploits are indeed quite prominent. Not to mention tens of thousands beheaded in Ningxia, it is reported that he has killed and captured ten in North Korea." Thousands of Japanese pirates are gone, Your Majesty is Long Yan Dayue, now Xiao Ruxun has won the emperor's heart, how can we be replaced by frontier veterans like you and me?"

Deng Zilong is quite open-minded. Originally, he was still fighting with the Dongwu Kingdom (the translation of the Toungoo Dynasty in Myanmar during the Wanli period) in the land of Yunnan. He had just defeated their invasion and was conscripted by the imperial court to go north. Before he had time to react , Deng Zilong met his old friend Chen Lin.

Chen Lin needed a capable deputy, so he transferred Deng Zilong to be his deputy commander. It can be said that these two are brothers in difficulty, both of whom have recovered after being dismissed. treated people.

The two supported each other and worked together. Chen Lin first brought 5000 sailors and more than 100 large ships from his hometown in Guangdong. The ship was brought out, and there were nearly [-] sailors and sailors. The total number of sailors has exceeded the sum of the Japanese navy and the Korean navy. It is worth mentioning that [-] of the more than [-] sailors are Chen Lin on his own. The prestige of the "wolf soldier".

Wolf Soldiers is a legend of the Ming Dynasty's anti-Japanese war. As early as in the Jiajing period, Zhang Jing, a famous anti-Japanese official, dispatched Zhuang native soldiers from Tianzhou, Guangxi and other places on the suggestion of Yu Dayou. Collectively known as wolf soldiers.

The wolf soldiers fought extremely bravely. They once wiped out nearly 2000 Japanese pirates in the first battle of Wangjiangjing. They were the main force of the Ming army to fight against the Japanese before the Qi family army. , Miao, Yao and other ethnic minorities in the southwest, but their combat effectiveness has not diminished at all.

Chen Lin also equipped the ship with the latest firearms that could be collected along the coast, because Chen Lin found out that Xiao Ruxun is a general who is very good at using firearms, if he can use firearms, he might be able to talk to him.

To be careful, Chen Lin is really careful now. Unlike before, this young man who may be very arrogant is on his head, and he still controls the supplies and equipment of his army. If he hates him, even if the Han soldiers under him If you don't rebel, the wolf soldiers will definitely get upset and leave. If you don't rebel, it's a face for you.

These wolf soldiers are really not big-headed soldiers who are easy to bully like guard soldiers. If you want to mobilize them, you only need official documents from the Ministry of War. They don't care about you at all. You must have prestige to convince them to trust you, and There can be no shortage of military pay and supplies, and you can't deceive them, so you will risk your life to fight with you, otherwise you don't even think about it.

The most terrible thing is that their trust is very extreme. Once they trust, they will risk their lives to fight with you. Once they suspect you, they will die before their eyes and they will not save you.

The "cunning Han people" made them suffer a lot. To gain their trust, Zhang Jing established his prestige by relying on several big battles, and Chen Lin gained respect by relying on decades of fighting.

The order Chen Lin received was to drive directly to Lishui Base, the naval base of North Korea, where he would integrate the naval forces, arrange tasks, familiarize himself with the situation, and prepare for battle. Because it involved a large landing operation on the beach, Chen Lin sent the strong and skilled wolf soldiers The transfer came, and at this moment, Chen Lin didn't dare to be sloppy, and rushed to the Lishui base with all his strength, for fear of delaying the time.

So it’s interesting, Xiao Ruxun was worried that Chen Lin would rely on the old to sell the old, and Chen Lin was worried that Xiao Ruxun would embarrass him by being young and disrespecting the old. Xiao Ruxun came to the Lishui base early to welcome Chen Lin to disembark in person, to give a good impression, so that he would not work hard for foreign workers. , Chen Lin also wanted to rush over as soon as possible to leave a good impression of Xiao Ruxun's strict military discipline and energy, and don't be put on small shoes.

Along the way, Chen Lin also repeatedly reminded his subordinates of those arrogant warriors, telling them to restrain themselves. Xiao Ruxun was young, but quite fierce, with a hot temper. He killed mountains of corpses and seas of blood in various battlefields. There were tens of thousands of people under his command. Heads, there are captives, rebels, and Japanese pirates. If you are caught accidentally, you will be beheaded. Don't blame me for not mentioning you in advance!
Chen Lin is famous for his violent temper. He dares to do anything when he gets angry. A general with a violent temper can naturally bring out soldiers with a violent temper. He is good at fighting, but his military discipline is also poor. Lin is still very protective of the calf, and there is no lack of reasons for being dismissed from office many times, so this time I am afraid that they will bump into Xiao Ruxun's muzzle, so I will remind them first.

As for how much they listened to, it was not something Chen Lin could predict.

Chen Lin was in a hurry, even spending the Chinese New Year on a boat, and finally arrived at the Lishui base on the seventh day of the first lunar month, three days earlier than the latest date of the tenth day of the first lunar month requested by Xiao Ruxun.
