on this matter.
Zhu Di did not argue with Guo An anymore.
He found that when he was in Beiping Mansion, Guo An was only interested in studying craftsmen, building workshops, and making some money.
However, since coming to Korea.
Although Guo An acts like he doesn't care about anything all day long, he actually pays attention to everything.
He has a smiling eye that is squinted all day long, very similar to Master Daoyan.
Even if he sent out troops to teach the Japanese pirates a lesson, Guo An could come up with a detailed plan.
For example, how many soldiers will be sent?
Those Goryeo dignitaries came to plead again. What was their response?
How much salary do you need?
After defeating the Japanese pirates, how did the Ming soldiers and generals treat the local Goryeo people and small landowners?
Anyway, because of this matter, Guo An also changed his mind and recruited Jin Zhong. Shang Kezhou had a special discussion with Chang Guoting and others.
As a result, Guo An was very satisfied.
Three cobblers can equal one Zhuge, and thirty scholars who have read thousands of books can come up with damaging moves that are directly better than the combination of Zhuge and Sima Yi!
Moreover, he didn't need to use his brain too much. He only needed to tell Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others the results he needed, and these people could figure out the process and details for him.
"Are these Guo Qing's strategies for pacifying Japan?"
Looking at the ordinary piece of paper handed over by Guo An, Zhu Di's face was solemn.
"Your Highness is wise!" Guo An said casually.
Zhu Di exhaled slowly, looked at Guo An, and said seriously.
"Now, we completely understand that the hearts of scholars are all black!"
Guo An didn't care at all, "Your Highness, these were all thought up by Jin Zhong and Shang Kezhou and have nothing to do with Wei Chen!"
Zhu Di carefully read the contents on the paper in his hand again and ignored Guo An.
It just so happened that Guo An could have some quiet time, picked up a history book of Goryeo again, and started reading.
Guo An felt like he gained a little more insight every time he read about the bloody affairs between the Goryeo royal family and the powerful!
…
"See Your Highness, I've met Guo Changshi!"
A few days later, Bian Anlie, who had become a servant of Goryeo, once again hurriedly walked into the Goryeo Palace with a look on his face.
"There is no need to be so anxious, side servants. As long as I am here, the sky will not fall!"
Zhu Di was calm and relaxed.
Bian Anlie had an anxious look on his face, "Your Highness, something big has happened. The Japanese pirates in Jeolla Province are powerful and are now heading towards Gyeongsang Province and Chungcheong Province to plunder.
In just over ten days, the Japanese pirates had plundered dozens of villages in Jeolla Province, captured two counties, and killed tens of thousands of Korean people! "
Zhu Di's expression changed, "Why are Japanese pirates so arrogant? Is it possible that Gyeongsang Province and Zhongqing Province did not gather their troops to encircle and suppress those Japanese pirates?"
Bian Anlie said with a wry smile: "Reporting to Your Highness, those Japanese pirates are extremely cunning and inhumane. When encountering a large army, they all fled.
And if they encounter a small army, they will not fight head-on, but instead ambush or attack from behind..."
Zhu Di curled his lips and asked: "How many Japanese pirates did the soldiers and generals of Gyeongsang Province, Zhongqing Province, and Jeolla Province kill?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed in Bian Anlie's eyes, "Your Highness, please forgive me, I haven't asked about this yet!"
Zhu Di smiled coldly, "Hmph, could it be that the soldiers and generals from the lower realms all fled after seeing the Japanese pirates?"
Bian Anlie said quickly: "Your Highness has misunderstood. Although the soldiers and generals of the three lower realms are afraid of the Japanese pirates, they are not so incompetent!"
"Yeah?"
On the side, Guo An sneered and looked at Bian Anlie.
"Don't forget, your servants, that you are not from Korea, but from Ming Dynasty."
Bian Anlie's expression changed, "I don't understand what Guo Changshi meant!"
Guo An continued to ask: "Eight years ago, that is, the sixth year of King You, we remember that Li Chenggui, who was cut to pieces by His Highness, led his troops to defeat the Japanese pirates who plundered the lower three roads of Goryeo.
Moreover, in that battle, Bian Shizhong probably participated in the battle as Li Chenggui's deputy general. "
Bian Anlie's face turned ugly when he couldn't help but think of something.
"Guo Changshi really knows everything!"
Guo An continued: "Tsk, tsk, more than 10,000 Japanese pirates. After the navy led by Haidao Marshal Luo Shi, Shen Defu, Cui Maoxuan and others massacred thousands of Japanese pirates, the 3,000 Japanese pirates who stayed on the shore were directly Massacred all the way to Sangju, the capital of Gyeongsang Province, the Japanese pirates basically massacred the entire Gyeongsang Province, leaving the ground red...
In the end, ten Goryeo marshals led tens of thousands of Goryeo troops to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates. However, the Goryeo people fled in fear when they saw the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates even killed two marshals...
When Li Chenggui and your lieutenants arrive, none of the Goryeo soldiers will dare to fight! In the end, Li Chenggui forced him to fight, but after encountering the Japanese pirates, the Goryeo soldiers fled away one by one, leaving Li Chenggui and you and other soldiers in the Japanese pirate ambush...
Fortunately, it rained heavily at that time, and the weather, time and place were on your side...Li Chenggui and you are both strong generals, so they used bows and arrows to defeat the Japanese pirates. Otherwise...Border servant, I'm afraid you would have been killed by the Japanese pirates. , and was abandoned by those Koreans..."
Bian Anlie's eyes widened, "How does Guo Changshi know such details?"
Guo An smiled faintly and said, "Servant, you can find out about such a big matter just by asking!"
There is no belief in Bian Anlie's body. Which Goryeo dignitary would tell you this? Moreover, this was eight years ago!
Guo An continued: "Bian Shizhong, you must understand that King Yan came to Korea not to occupy Korea, let alone to govern Korea.
Now, it's just to teach King Wangyou of Goryeo a lesson and get back the 230,000 taels of silver.
Who would have thought that the King of Goryeo was so careless that the King of Goryeo surrendered the city, Yan'an County, and Ganghwa Island to Prince Yan's Mansion...
Therefore, only Wangjing Kaicheng, Yan'an County, and Jianghua Island are the cities of His Highness King Yan.
As for the other cities in Goryeo, they are not the cities of His Highness King Yan.
His Highness King Yan has no obligation to waste the lives of his soldiers and generals to protect people who do not belong to him! "
Bian Anlie: "..."
Guo Andao said: "Please think about this matter carefully. Moreover, according to the virtue of those Korean people, who can guarantee that when His Highness King Yan sends soldiers to help them attack the Japanese pirates, will those Koreans Just like how we treated Li Chenggui, will we directly send the soldiers of Prince Yan's palace into the siege of Japanese pirates, and they will be defeated without a fight?
Or even, will they directly stab him in the back? "
Bian Anlie's expression changed and he shook his head repeatedly: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, Guo Changshi, this kind of thing will never happen!"
Guo An stared at Bian Anlie closely, "Shizhong Bian, what guarantee do you have?"
Bian Anlie opened his mouth but said nothing.
Zhu Di said quietly: "Okay, Bian Shizhong, if you are here because of the Japanese pirates, you can go down.
There are hundreds of thousands of Koreans in the three dignitaries, but they can't even kill three thousand Japanese pirates. This is too strange. We don't want to risk our soldiers! "
"Yes, Your Highness, I will take my leave!"
Bian Anlie sighed helplessly and walked out.
He just sympathized with the people of the lower three realms. He had seen with his own eyes how brutal the Japanese pirates would be after charging into the city.
Kill them all, steal them all, burn them all!
He even saw a Japanese pirate brutally cut open the heart of a captured three-year-old Korean girl, washed it clean, and then served it as a sacrifice to the heaven!
inhuman!
It's a pity that he is just a Ming Dynasty man who has been in Goryeo for decades, and he is not related to the people of Goryeo.
If you take too much control, you will not only be suspected by King Yan.
Even, they will be jealous of the powerful Goryeo people who are entrenched in various prefectures and counties of Goryeo.
In this world, the most valuable thing is compassion...
A few days later.
King Yan's fleet was once again filled with more than 30 ships and headed for Beiping Mansion.
As for the Gyeongsang-do, Chungcheong-do, and Jeolla-do of Goryeo, it seems that they have completely become the back garden of the Japanese pirates.
Burning, killing and looting...
However, Xia Sandao is visited by Japanese pirates every year and has no property for a long time.
The Japanese pirates only plundered the newly recovered food.
And most of the Goryeo dignitaries who gathered in Goryeo Wangjing because of the freight did not pay any attention to the Japanese pirates who were robbing the common people of Xiasandao.
Most of the Japanese pirates only dared to plunder in Xia San Dao.
If they dare to loot further, no matter how brave and invincible the Japanese pirates are, all the Korean soldiers will gather together to encircle and suppress them, and those Japanese pirates will be surrounded like dumplings, and no one can escape.
But now, only those powerful families with roots in the Lower Three Ways have worried faces.
Although their family members have already hid in Wang Jing, they are very safe.
However, the foundation of their family is still in Xiasandao, and their fields and food are also still in Xiasandao.
Thinking of the Japanese pirates slaughtering their slaves and robbing their food, these dignitaries felt itchy with hatred.
It's a pity that they have all visited Bian Anlie to ask for help, and they all know what His Highness King Yan is thinking.
Although the idea that King Yan had not interfered with their family's prefectures made them feel much more relaxed.
But equally, it is not easy to send out troops to save the people of their lower realms.
Now, what those Japanese pirates are robbing are their family’s harvest this year?
How many items from the Ming Dynasty can those grains be exchanged for?
Thinking about it, they could no longer bear it and begged other Goryeo dignitaries.
"As long as you can join us in asking His Highness King Yan to send troops to defeat the Japanese pirates who are plundering our lower three roads!... His Highness King Yan will build a shipyard, build a cement workshop, and lay cement roads. , I will wait for the next three roads to provide all the young and strong labor force!..."
"We also have a large number of young and strong laborers in each county!"
"I can't wait to compete with you for the share of the cement workshop..."
"If not, the people of our three lower realms will be homeless and without food to eat under the threat of Japanese pirates, and they may become refugees or even bandits..."
"...Haha, I am a Korean, how can I tolerate those Japanese pirates who wantonly intercept and kill my Korean people?"
"Exactly, we will ask to see His Highness King Yan together!"
"Go together, go together..."
In the palace!
After listening to Zhu Liang's report, Zhu Di asked with an inexplicable expression.
"Have all the dignitaries of Goryeo come to see me?"
Zhu Liang reported: "Reporting to Your Highness, all the merchants who cooperate with our Palace, Prince Yan, are outside the palace gate and want to see Your Highness!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly: "That's it, bring them in!"
"Here!"
After a while, Zhu Liang came in with a group of Goryeo dignitaries wearing silk costumes.
