Guo An continued: "In addition, although you are the king of Goryeo, you have repeatedly broken your trust with me, His Highness, King Yan, and you still have to trouble me, His Highness, King Yan, to personally lead the army of King Yan's palace thousands of miles across the sea to punish Goryeo. Come.
So, you don't pay some compensation, but you look down on me, His Highness, King Yan?
Also, although our army of Prince Yan’s Mansion attacked your King’s Palace of Goryeo this time, we, Prince Yan’s Mansion, are benevolent and righteous troops and did not send a single soldier to plunder the people in your King’s Palace of Goryeo!
So, do you, the Goryeo royal family, have to pay the wages of these soldiers and generals in Prince Yan’s palace?
However, now with the little money you have in the palace, you can't even pay the salary of the army of Prince Yan's Palace... The compensation to my Highness, Prince Yan, is 230,000 taels. Silver, where did you come from? "
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's eyes widened and he cursed in his heart.
Are you robbers?
You are sending troops to attack Korea, and you want me, the king of Korea, to pay your soldiers and generals?
What's more, you don't rob Wang Jing's officials and dignitaries who have the most money, but you want me, the King of Goryeo, to pay you extra money?
Although he was extremely aggrieved, Wang Yu did not dare to say a word when he looked at the eyeing King Yan of the Ming Dynasty and the murderous Ming Dynasty soldiers and generals in front of him.
And all the Goryeo ministers and dignitaries on the side were afraid that Guo An would also ask them for money, so they all kept silent!
However, Guo An will not stop until they say it.
"King Goryeo, why didn't you say anything? But you still have money hidden in other places?"
Wang Yu shook his head repeatedly, "Shangguan, I, Emperor Goryeo... I really only have this kind of money in the palace."
"not enough!"
Guo An shook his head and said, "The money in your palace is enough to reward half of my army in Prince Yan's palace.
Tell me honestly, where is the money hidden..."
Wang Yu shook his head firmly again, with an expression as if he was ready to die, "His Royal Highness, King Yan, this Shangguan, Xiao Wang really only has this kind of money!"
"wrong!"
Guo An thought of something and his expression condensed, "As the King of Korea, why do you only have this money?... Is it possible that you, the King of Korea, have other treasuries outside the palace?
Or maybe you hid all your money in the homes of those members of your Goryeo royal family? "
Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.
"Come here, capture all the members of the Goryeo royal family quickly, and search their homes for me!"
"Here!"
On the side, Chen Shou took the order.
Seeing this, Wang Yu's expression changed drastically.
Similarly, the expressions of all the Goryeo ministers and dignitaries on the side also changed slightly.
"Your Highness, King Yan, this matter is a mistake committed by me, Wang You, and I, Wang You, should be solely responsible for it. How can I implicate innocent people?"
Wang Yu said anxiously.
Zhu Di asked with a sneer: "Innocent?"
Guo An added: "I dare to ask the King of Goryeo, do those royal family members know about your repeated breach of trust with His Highness, King Yan? Why didn't they stand up and stop it?
Also, if you lend me Prince Yan's transparent glass technology and winter vegetable planting technology, can the vegetables grown by the Goryeo royal family be eaten?
As members of the Goryeo royal family, they enjoy many benefits of the Goryeo royal family. How come they can stay out of it now?
How can there be such a good thing in the world? …”
The expressions of all the Goryeo officials around him changed slightly.
Officials and dignitaries like them are also involved in what Guo An said.
Similarly, Wang Yu also thought of this!
However, Wang Yu did not say it out loud.
Guo An and Zhu Di did not continue to press.
Instead, he sat directly behind a desk and looked at the maps found from the Koryo Palace with a curious expression.
There are detailed maps of the King of Goryeo... and there are also maps of the entire Goryeo Kingdom, and each map is very clear.
However, in the eyes of Goryeo King Wang You and other powerful Goryeo officials, His Royal Highness King Yan of the Ming Dynasty and the high official named Guo Changshi were studying the map of their Goryeo Kingdom...
Everyone began to feel uneasy.
About half an hour passed.
The sky in the entire Goryeo Palace has become completely dark, and the entire palace is brightly lit by candles.
Chen Shou led a group of thousands and hundreds of households and escorted a group of Goryeo royal family members to the palace.
There are also more than twenty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.
"Your Majesty, General Mo and his brothers searched the homes of sixteen members of the Korean royal family and found a total of twenty-five boxes of gold and silver jewelry, worth approximately two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu's eyes widened and he shook his head repeatedly.
"Your Highness, Prince Yan, how can it be possible that twenty-five boxes of gold and silver jewelry are only worth two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver?"
Guo An smiled lightly and said: "Plenty of things makes them cheap, but few things make them valuable! Doesn't the King of Goryeo not know this truth?"
Wang Yu and all the Goryeo dignitaries could not help but look angry.
Such a robber?
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, "In this case, these twenty-five boxes of gold and silver jewelry can be used as pay for my soldiers in Prince Yan's palace!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Chen Shou and other generals were overjoyed.
Guo An looked at Wang Yu again, "As for the boxes of gold and silver jewelry found in the palace, they can be used as compensation and apology from the King of Goryeo to my Highness, King Yan.
So, how can I repay the two hundred thousand taels of silver that the King of Goryeo owes me, His Highness, King Yan? "
Wang Yu could no longer hold back, with an angry look on his face: "This Guo Changshi, although I was defeated by His Highness King Yan, I surrendered to His Highness King Yan of the Ming Dynasty.
However, I am still the King of Korea recognized by the Ming Emperor and cannot be insulted!
Now, His Highness King Yan has confiscated all the property in my Goryeo Palace, as well as the belongings of the entire Goryeo royal family. Why are you still forcing me like this? "
"It is only natural to pay back debts!"
Guo An said coldly: "The King of Goryeo has been studying my Ming Dynasty classics for such a long time, how come he has even forgotten the basic principles of life?
In this matter, even if I, His Majesty the Ming Emperor, were to come in person, I would not be able to find a single mistake. "
As he spoke, Guo An seemed to think of something again and said, "I almost forgot. Our army from Prince Yan's Mansion attacked your country and consumed a lot of firearms and bombs. Do the King of Korea also have to compensate?"
"You are going too far!"
Wang Yu was furious.
at the same time.
Among the members of the Goryeo royal family who followed Chen Shou in, a few people suddenly jumped out, holding daggers, and silently killed Guo An, Zhu Di and others.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
"You evildoers, how dare you..."
Chen Shou, Chen Zhi and others on the side suddenly had their eyes cracked, shouted angrily, and rushed forward with their swords drawn.
However, those members of the Goryeo royal family did not pay any attention to the steel knives in the hands of Chen Shou, Chen Zhi and others, and wanted to die together with Zhu Di, Guo An and others.
As for Wang Yu and a group of Goryeo dignitaries, their expressions were overjoyed.
"Bang! Bang..."
Suddenly, several loud noises were heard.
They saw that Guo An, who had been following Yan King Zhu Di, suddenly had two short fire weapons in his hands.
The loud noise was caused by the short fire system.
As for the royal family members, each one had a big hole in their body, and they were all lying on the ground, writhing in pain.
Seeing this, Guo An couldn't help but feel pity on his face, "It's so miserable. I just took a little money from you, and it won't cost your lives, so why bother?"
The King of Goryeo, Wang You, and all the Goryeo dignitaries could not help but shudder. When they looked at Guo Anzhi, their faces were filled with fear.
They never expected that Guo An would have such fire power in his hands!
Moreover, the most important thing is that this kind of fire system can actually shoot ammunition multiple times...
At this moment, hearing the noise, all the guards of King Yan from outside also rushed in.
All the Goryeo dignitaries in the hall were surrounded.
Zhu Di glanced at the Huotong in Guo An's hand next to him in surprise, and then looked at the Goryeo King Wang You and the Goryeo dignitaries with a frosty face.
The King of Goryeo, Wang You, and all the Goryeo dignitaries shuddered coldly.
"Okay, you guys really want to drink wine as a penalty if you don't eat the toast!"
"Let me search their bodies carefully. No hard objects can be left behind... Everyone's hands and feet should be tied with ropes..."
"Chen Shou, bring a team of men and horses to kill the whole family of these evil-minded thieves for me, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
"Follow the order!"
Chen Shou responded with a solemn expression, then led a group of soldiers, carrying the few members of the Goryeo royal family who were still howling on the ground, and walked out with murderous intent.
Soon, the Goryeo King Wang You and all the Goryeo dignitaries were roughly searched by the soldiers, and at the same time, there was an extra rope on their hands and feet.
Zhu Di sat above him with a stern look on his face, looking at King Wang You of Goryeo, "I thought you had some conscience before, so I didn't put too much trouble on you, but I didn't expect you to be so evil!"
Wang Yu said with a face full of fear: "Your Highness King Yan, please calm down. The little king has been closely guarded by His Highness King Yan. I definitely didn't know that those royal family members were so impulsive!"
"snort!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Don't quibble."
"I have already given you a chance. Since you don't want it, I will make my decision.
This king has spent so much effort and brought tens of thousands of soldiers to punish you. You can't let me go back empty-handed! "
"Now, you still owe me two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver. In addition to the firearms, bombs, food and baggage consumed by my army in the battle, as well as the soldiers and generals who died in this battle, you need to compensate me another hundred thousand taels. silver.
However, you, the King of Goryeo, are really very poor, and I don’t want to embarrass you, so I sold Yan’an County, Choko Island, and Ganghwa Island to me! "
Wang Yu’s expression changed drastically!
"King Yan, you must not do it. This is the family property passed down by our ancestors. The young king must not give it away to others."
Zhu Di said coldly: "Don't talk so grandly, how did your ancestor get the throne of Goryeo?"
Wang Yu: "..."
On the side, Guo An looked at Lao Huai with relief.
Zhu Laosi finally grew up and looked like a bandit king.
Zhu Di said again: "Come here, go and get the seal of the King of Korea, and you will draft the letter of credence.
Today, I am taking advantage of the fact that the King of Goryeo, Wang You, is still in good health. I will pay back the three hundred thousand taels of silver from this king first. Don’t let any more accidents happen and I have to lead my troops to kill again..."
Immediately, a scribe came forward to write the national document.
Guo An asked again: "Your Highness, I still have thirty thousand taels of silver. What about this money?"
Zhu Di frowned slightly and stared at Wang Yu closely, "It is still up to you, the King of Korea, to pay this 30,000 taels of silver to me!"
Wang Yu shook his head helplessly, "King Yan, Xiao Wang really has no money."
Zhu Di turned his head and looked at the Goryeo dignitaries on the side.
"Since you, the King of Korea, have no money, you will repay the thirty thousand taels of silver on behalf of the King of Korea!"
All the dignitaries of Goryeo could not help but smile bitterly.
