The Life of the Characters in Chen Lin's Works

At the end of Jiajing, Chen Lin became the conductor. In the forty-first year of Jiajing (1562), tens of thousands of civilians revolted in Chaozhou, Yingde and other places, and Chen Lin was promoted to Guangdong garrison. Later, the bandits Lai and Lingdong were wiped out.

In the early years of Wanli, Chen Lin successively put down Deng Shenglong, a high-ranking rebel official, and Zhong Yuequan, a mountain thief in Jieyang, and was promoted to the post of Director of Guangdong and Guangxi. In the second year of Wanli (1574), in March, because Zhang Yuanxun's Li attacked the Chaozhou government and was defeated, the governor Yin Zhengmao temporarily granted the post of General Chen Lin, and let Chen Lin command the army. After Zhu Liangbao was pacified, Chen Lin was awarded as a guerrilla general in Zhaoqing and transferred to Gaozhou as a general. In November of the 4th year of Wanli (1576), Chen Lin followed the governor Ling in conquering the Yao nationality in Pangshan, and was promoted to vice governor. Soon, thieves and bandits killed officials and people, and Chen Lin was ordered to put down. At this time, Dong 'an had just settled down. Chen Lin built many buildings, built temples, served his subordinates and extorted money. The soldiers were all angered, so riots broke out and counties were robbed. They were played by Luo, and at the suggestion of the governor, the court deprived Chen Lin of his official position. Shortly after the riot was put down, Chen Lin was appointed as the deputy general of Langshan, and was dismissed soon after. After Chen Lin was dismissed from office, although many people in the imperial court cherished his talents, they were afraid to recommend him.

In the 20th year of Wanli (1502), the Japanese invaded the DPRK, and Chen Lin was promoted to join the 7th Battalion in Ji Shen because she was familiar with Japanese tactics. Soon after, he was promoted to deputy company commander to help defend Yuji Town.

In the 21st year of Wanli (1503), in the first month, he was ordered to lead the troops of Zhen Ji Town, Liaoyang, Baoding, Shandong and other places to resist the Japanese invaders and defend the coastal defense, and served as the deputy commander of Nan 'ao Town. He left in February. At that time, the imperial court was preparing to make peace with Japan, so it sent Chen Lin to help defend Zhangzhou and Chaozhou. Chen Lin bribed Shi Xing, the minister of the Ministry of War, and was exposed by Shi Xing, who was dismissed. In the 25th year of Wanli (1597), the peace talks failed tomorrow, and Chen Lin was re-opened to command 5,000 Guangdong soldiers to support North Korea.

In the 26th year of Wanli (1598), Chen Lin was promoted to the company commander of the Japanese Empire, and he led the army together with Magway and Liu Ge. When his men were stationed in Shanhaiguan, they made a scene and Chen Lin was condemned. Soon, he was ordered to prefect the water army, March separately with Magway, Liu Gan and Dong Yiyuan, and led more than 13,000 soldiers and hundreds of warships, distributed in Haikou of Zhongqing, Jeolla and Gyeongsang. Chen Lin's water army successfully stopped the Japanese army from marching at sea. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, the Japanese army retreated, and Chen Lin ordered his men Deng Zilong and North Korean general Li Shunchen to intercept the enemy at Yufeng Road. As a result, both of them died. Chen Lin sent Chen Silkworm and his army to support them, and defeated the enemy, and the Japanese army was defeated. At this moment, Liu Gai attacked Konishi Yukinaga's army, and the governor's army retreated to Shuntian City, and Chen Lin moved westward, destroying seven or eight hundred Japanese ships and drowning more than twenty thousand Japanese troops. He defeated the Japanese leader Shi Manzi, captured the Japanese handsome Heisei Heping Zhengxiu alive, and executed him. He also attacked the Japanese army on land with the Ming army in Shuntian, and won a complete victory in the naval battle in Lvliang.

The Japanese army retreated to Jinshan defense, the Ming army challenged, and the Japanese army surrendered without fighting. Soon, the Japanese army crossed the sea and hid in Mount B, which was steep and dangerous, and the Ming army dared not move forward. So Chen Lin led the troops to sneak in at night and surrounded the cave. At dawn, the enemy fired their guns and fled to the back of the mountain in panic. Chen Lin's army fought fiercely with the Japanese army, which was losing ground. Chen Lin divided his forces to pursue and wiped out the enemy. After the reward, Chen Lin was the first, Liu Xie was the second and Magway was the third. As a result, Chen Lin was promoted to acting viceroy and acting viceroy. Chen Lin retreated to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which coincided with the capture of Bozhou, so the court appointed Chen Lin as the company commander of Huguang, marched from Pianqiao, and commanded Chen Liang's department to March from Longquan.

In February of the 28th year of Wanli (1600), the army of Chen Lin fought with Yang Chaodong, the rebel leader of Bozhou, and the thief army was defeated. After appeasing the Miao people, Chen Lin entered Longxi, learned that the enemy was in ambush, and ordered guerrilla Chen Ce to attack with firearms. The thief army is commanding, and Chen Lin is brave. So Chen Lin recruited death squads to follow the general manager Wu Yinglong and others to storm. The thief army fled to the top of the mountain, fled to Yuan at night, and was defeated by Chen Lin's army the next day. At this point, the gangsters of the four major brands have all been eliminated. On March 15, Chen Lin learned that thieves first camped in Qipai Wild Boar Mountain, such as You, Xie Chaofeng and Shi Shengfeng. So he headed for Kulianping overnight. Under attack from both sides, the enemy fled into the deep forest, so Chen Lin entered Kucaiguan. Hearing that Tong Yuan Town was defeated in Wujiang River, he was afraid and asked to retreat, but was rejected by Governor Li Hualong. Chen Lin strode into Nanmu Bridge. At that time, all the gangsters gathered in the four warehouses of Green Snake, Changkan, Agate and Steamed Bun, and the terrain was very dangerous. So Chen Lin attacked three warehouses first, and then attacked the green snake warehouse. Later, Cat's Ministry will also meet him. Chen Lin asked him to ambush behind the store and sent another army to guard the corner of the board in case the enemy escaped. After three days of hard work, he captured the shop and paid a lot of money to buy people who were not afraid of death to climb vines from behind agate to shoot behind the mountain. So the thief army was in chaos, and the Ming army fought and destroyed the seven-card bandits.

Chen Lin then divided into six roads, conquered Sandu and headed for Hailongdun. People attack the front of Hailong pier, while Ann Chen Jiang attacks the rear. The battle was deadlocked for more than 40 days. Ann Chen Jiang's people also accept heavy gifts and bribes from gangsters, and give the gunpowder secret to gangsters. Chen Lin know, Chen Jiang retreated three miles. Chen Lin also moved his troops to other places and placed more than 100 iron plates at a distance of more than ten feet, making the gangsters' strong bows and arrows useless. Chen Lin cut bamboo into arrow boards and put them in front of the fence. Bandits come out every night to make an insurrection. They are stabbed by bamboo arrows and dare not go out again. Yang Yinglong was fed up and cried with his people. Li Hualong had ordered them to take turns to attack separately.

On June 6th, Chen Lin and Guangwu attacked Hailongdun. Chen Lin sent soldiers up the mountain with bamboo and wood chips at four o'clock in the evening. While the bandits were sleeping, the bandits who were guarding the pass were killed, white flags were erected and guns were fired. The gangsters fled in a hurry, and the thief Yang Yinglong set himself on fire and died. At this point, the Bozhou rebellion was pacified. In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607), he was reassigned to Guangdong and died in his official position. First, because of his meritorious service in pacifying Bozhou, he was appointed as the left governor and hereditary governor. Later, due to the meritorious service of pacifying the Miao people, it was given to the Prince Taibao and once again sealed as a hundred households. Give him a "sacrificial burial" (a kind of state funeral) and bury him in Lianhua Mountain, Liudu Town, Yun 'an County, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province. Emperor Wanli also allowed the construction of "Longtian City" in Longtian Village, Wengyuan, Chen Lin's hometown, where there were "Taibao Ancestral Temple" and "Taibao Ancestral Temple".
