The lower reaches of Xiaoling River, the eastern front of Songjin battlefield.
"Who are they?" The Ming army soldier who was on guard drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the five or six people who abandoned their ship and went ashore.
Although these people were dressed in plain clothes, they were holding standard weapons such as swords and bows and arrows, and were obviously not ordinary people.
"I am Lin Qingye, deputy commander of the Guanliao Dengjin Navy!" Lin Qingye answered in person.
After checking the formalities, Lin Qingye was brought to Liu Zhaoji.
Liu Zhaoji was a little surprised by Lin Qingye's arrival. He asked Lin Qingye to come to the military tent and asked, "Why did General Lin come to Xiaolinghe instead of staying in Bijia Mountain?"
"Deputy!" Lin Qingye corrected.
Liu Zhaoji was somewhat stunned, and then he repeated, "Then... why is Deputy General Lin here with me instead of guarding the grain and grass at Bijia Mountain?"
"To deal with the Korean soldiers!" Lin Qingye said confidently, "Without the Korean soldiers' restraint, General Liu, you can leave here and go to the battlefield to kill the Jiannu!"
Liu Zhaoji blinked his eyes. "There are 20,000 Korean soldiers on the other side of the river, and you only have five or six people with you. I'm afraid you can't solve it..."
"Don't worry, General Liu. We don't need to use any troops to deal with them. All we need is my mouth!" Lin Qingye was still so confident.
"Okay, what do you need me to do?" Liu Zhaoji asked.
"Please ask General Liu to arrange a few speedboats by the river bank for message delivery. I will pass on the news from the other side of the river as soon as possible."
"No problem." Liu Zhaoji agreed immediately.
After the two parties agreed on the location and method of delivering the message, Lin Qingye took his men away.
After boarding the ship, they sailed eastward and landed on the east bank of Xiaoling River.
Before they even got off the boat, the group was discovered by North Korean sentries.
They raised their bows and muskets and shouted, "Who are you? Put down your weapons and tell me your name!"
"Keep your voice down!" Lin Qingye answered in a low voice.
"I'm asking who you are!" the North Korean sentry continued in his voice.
“Lin Qingye!”
"Who do you say you are...?" The North Korean sentry was a little incredulous.
Lin Qingye had always been against the Qing Dynasty and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and was called a loyal and righteous man by the Koreans.
He not only enjoys a high reputation among the people, but also holds a high position in the North Korean military.
"I am Lin Qingye, the real Lin Qingye!" Lin Qingye repeated.
"It turns out to be Lord Lin!"
"Master Lin, you are still alive! That's great!"
"North Korea has saved Smecta!"
When the North Korean soldiers heard that the other party was Lin Qingye who had disappeared for several years, they were suddenly happy and surprised.
I was happy that Lin Qingye was still alive, but I was surprised to meet him here.
They first expressed their respect and admiration for Lin Qingye, and then surrounded Lin Qingye with excitement in their eyes.
After a moment, the North Korean sentries regained their composure.
Lin Qingye is now a wanted criminal of the Jiannu, and they have surrendered to the Jiannu.
They originally wanted to tie up Lin Qingye and take him back, but after considering the consequences, they did not dare to do it.
During the stalemate, Lin Qingye spoke up: "Who will lead the troops this time?"
"It's the governor of the Gyeonggi Defense Office, Yeonseong-gun Lee Si-bang!"
"Li Shifang?" Lin Qingye thought for a moment and asked, "Li Gui's eldest son?"
"Yes, smecta." The sentry replied.
Li Gui was a hero in King Injo's restoration.
The Injo coup was actually a coup that took place within Korea. In the third year of the Tianqi reign, Yi Hun, the King of Korea, imprisoned his mother, killed his brothers, and maintained a neutral attitude between the Ming Dynasty and the Jiannu, which led to chaos in the court and aroused dissatisfaction among other forces.
Li Gui and others supported Li Hun's nephew Li Jong to lead an army to attack Seoul and replace Li Hun as the king.
After Lee Jong's death, his posthumous name was Injo, and this incident was also called the Injo Restoration by later generations.
Lin Qingye and Li Gui had some friendship, but he only met his son Li Shifang a few times and they had no further interactions.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingye began to mutter to himself.
Before coming, he assured Huang Fei that he could complete the task.
If he fails to complete the task, he might lose his position as deputy general.
"Take me to see him!" Lin Qingye took a deep breath and said to the North Korean sentry.
"Follow me, smite!" The Korean sentries did not tie up Lin Qingye and others, but surrounded them and "escorted" them to the central military camp.
Sitting in the central military tent was a Confucian scholar wearing a black cotton and linen robe and a net scarf on his head.
He had a wide ribbon tied around his waist and held an old book in his hands.
This person is none other than Yeonseong Jun Li Shifang.
The book he was reading was a handwritten copy of Diary of the Chaos.
"Diary of the Rebellion" is a diary of Yi Sun-sin, which records Yi Sun-sin's personal experiences and what he saw and heard during the Imjin Japanese Invasion from 1592 to 1598 AD.
"Report!" A personal soldier came into the military tent and knelt on one knee: "Your Excellency Yan Cheng, there is a man who calls himself Lin Qingye who wants to see you."
"Who?" Li Shifang put down the diary and looked up at his bodyguards.
"Lin Qingye."
Li Shifang's expression froze, and he said cautiously in a low voice, "Bring him in quickly!"
"Wait," Li Shifang felt something was wrong again.
Lin Qingye was the most wanted criminal of the Jiannu.
Not only were there military supervisors from the Jiannu in his army, but there were also many soldiers, generals, and officials who were loyal to the Jiannu.
If this matter gets out, one of him and Lin Qingye will be in trouble.
Li Shifang then changed his words and said, "Take him to the baggage camp, where they are all our own people."
"Yes, Simida." The soldier turned and left.
After hesitating for a while, Li Shifang put down his "Diary in the Chaos" and went to the baggage camp in the name of checking the baggage.
The two met in an inconspicuous little tent.
