Chapter 595 Lin Che's Strategy: Inside First, Outside Later

Zhu Yuanzhang finally looked at Li Xun deeply and said, "Go, Li Xun. I have sent people to clear the possible obstacles on the way to ensure your safe return."

As for Lin Che, Zhu Yuanzhang also had his own plans. He whispered to Lin Che, “Grandmaster, I have a more confidential task to instruct you on.”

Lin Che nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, please give your orders."

"Let's go together." Zhu Yuanzhang said succinctly, "Some things need to be said in detail in a place without people."

The disturbance in the palace subsided quietly. Zhu Yuanzhang and Lin Che walked out of the study together. In this lingering palace struggle, Lin Che had already taken to his own pace, and living next to Zhu Yuanzhang made him even more powerful.

As night fell, everything seemed as if nothing had happened, and the court was still peaceful.

But beneath this calm surface, the name of Imperial Preceptor Lin Che once again spread throughout the court, becoming even more legendary.

Within the splendid Ming Imperial City, the corridors of the Forbidden City echo with responses provoked by rapid footsteps.

The smoke of war was still rising on the border. The remaining Mongolian forces actually secretly joined forces with some Annan nobles. This unexpected rebellion was as fierce as a storm.

The Ming Dynasty was forced to regroup its forces to deal with the imminent crisis.

Li Xun, the Annan envoy, is now wearing armor and holding a sword at his side. His original scholarly temperament has now transformed into that of an iron-blooded warrior, revealing an indescribable sharpness.

Li Xun said in a loud voice: "Generals, although the enemy is powerful, as long as we deploy them properly and stabilize the city, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

He had to deploy troops and generals in this chaotic situation, resisting external forces while defending against internal instability.

And behind him, the support of the Ming Dynasty court followed closely.

In the imperial study of the Forbidden City, Zhu Yuanzhang and the imperial teacher Lin Che were reading the battle report while having an in-depth conversation.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Master, looking at the situation of the war, it is a headache. If it continues like this, the conflict will only become more intense."

There was a gleam in Lin Che's eyes, as if he had a far-sighted plan.

"Your Majesty, now is the time to use strategy. Although this rebellion is fierce and there must be many internal conflicts, we might as well do it."

Zhu Yuanzhang personally put down the battle report in his hand, cast his eyes on Lin Che, and listened to his story.

Lin Che analyzed calmly, "During this chaos, the Mongolian princes and the Annan nobles."

They all have their own agenda, and if we can stop them from fighting among themselves, we might be able to relieve a major worry for the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed his hands on the table, his voice full of determination, "Okay, as you say, I will give you full authority on how to transfer them."

The leader stood up straight and nodded in agreement, "I obey your order."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Che took the lead in taking action. He first secretly ordered a strategist in the court who was fluent in Mongolian to disguise himself as a businessman and infiltrate the Mongolian king's tent. Under his instigation, cracks began to appear within Mongolia.

On one side are the forces that are eager to regain their former glory, and on the other side are the clansmen who have established close ties with Ming merchants and do not want to start another war.

At the same time, he arranged spies who were proficient in the Annan language and customs to spy on the true movements of the nobles. Soon, the Annan nobles began to intrigue and fight for power.

His arrangements were not ostentatious, but they were as natural as flowing water, as if they were unplanned, allowing the two forces to start fighting each other.

Countless loyal and good people inside and outside the capital were also influenced by Lin Che and began to actively respond to the orders of the national teacher, some of them providing financial support.

Whether it was the assistance of the Ming army or the support of the imperial army, they all showed their loyalty to the imperial court, which reflected Lin Che's influence and appeal. As Lin Che's outstanding strategy gradually took effect, the rebels' ability to coordinate operations was greatly reduced. At this critical moment, the Ming reinforcements also arrived at the battlefield and joined forces with Li Xun's troops.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were like dragons and tigers, fighting bravely against the enemies.

After a fierce battle, the coalition's defense line was finally defeated, and this series of reversals were all the work of the national teacher Lin Che.

When the news of victory reached the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted. "Imperial Master, thanks to you, the frontier will soon be at peace, and I can finally feel at ease."

However, Lin Che smiled and said, "This is my duty. For the sake of the eternal foundation of the Ming Dynasty, why should I hesitate to do this?"

Thus, through Lin Che's strategy, the Ming Dynasty not only successfully stopped the rebellion, but also, because the rebels were internally disintegrated, the combat power and resources spent were far less than expected.

Zhu Yuanzhang praised him highly, and the profound strategy of the imperial teacher was praised both inside and outside the imperial city.

The night, like a piece of dark silk, covers the splendid Ming Dynasty imperial city.

At this moment when the stars were twinkling, the atmosphere in the imperial city was extremely tense.

The situation of fighting on two fronts was like a sword hanging over one's head, threatening the peace of this prosperous dynasty.

In this solemn atmosphere, what stood out was the calmness of National Master Lin Che.

The purple-gold robe shone with a calm luster under the reflection of the palace lanterns, just like her, giving people a sense of unshakable heaviness.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the throne, listening attentively to Lin Che's report. Although his eyes were as sharp as a knife, he always seemed to be able to find the answer to his problems in front of Lin Che.

"Your Majesty, if internal troubles are not eliminated, external troubles will be difficult to deal with. The greatest hidden danger to our dynasty right now lies within the court."

Lin Che's voice was calm, but it carried unquestionable power. Every word he said was like a gem, washing away all the dross and lighting up the direction to understand the situation.

"Humph, the rebels are ready to make a move, and the Mongolian rebels are eyeing us covetously."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was low, his fists were clenched, and blue veins were clearly visible on the back of his hands. "Master, do you have any good ideas?"

Lin Che remained calm, he gently closed his strategy book, nodded slightly and said: "The answer is as your majesty said, although it is difficult, it is not unsolvable. Lin Che has come prepared."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with surprise, which was soon replaced by praise. "Okay, I will follow your strategy and deal with the internal troubles first, and then deal with the external troubles."

Lin Che stepped out of the study, and the upheaval in the court began.

With Lin Che's power, after a period of secret investigation, he quickly grasped the core of the civil unrest.

On several crucial nights, some dignitaries were quietly taken away by the Imperial Guards in their dreams, and their properties were confiscated and filled several warehouses.

The civil unrest seemed to be swept away by this silent storm overnight.

Soon after the internal troubles were quelled, Lin Che was not satisfied with the court scheming.

He put on military uniform and personally led the elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty to the northern border.

"Master Imperial Master, the remnants of the Mongolian rebels have always been a threat. This trip is of great importance." The deputy general on the side said worriedly.

Lin Che chuckled, "Don't worry, General. The people of Ming Dynasty are the foundation of our generation. We are going to fight for our country."
