"Thank you for your hard work!"
Guo An said quietly.
Xu Xiang smiled lightly, even a little proud: "Guo Changshi said seriously, they are just a few Japanese pirates. Before our brothers could move their hands and feet, they were already running away!"
"That Xu Qianhu and other soldiers are so brave!"
Guo An looked sarcastic.
At this time, Xu Xiang and other generals finally noticed that something was wrong with Guo An.
Xu Xiang's face froze, "Guo Changshi, please make it clear!"
"How can I, a civilian official, give advice on the military affairs of all the brave and invincible generals?"
Looking at Guo An, who was suddenly acting strangely, Xu Xiang was confused. He must have never provoked Guo Changshi along the way.
Could it be that because of this encounter with Japanese pirates, he didn't ask Guo Changshi for instructions?
However, this Guo Changshi has always ignored military affairs!
Thinking in his mind, Xu Xiang still bowed his hands and saluted with a solemn expression, "I don't know where I'm wrong, general. Please tell me, Chief Guo!"
They all have great respect for generals such as Guo An, Xu Xiang and Sun Yan.
After all, this person can be regarded as the benefactor of all their brothers in Yanshan Guard, and she is also a super wet nurse.
Not only can they develop powerful gunpowder weapons for them, but they can also make money with them, and even give them Korean concubines, and allow them to expand their territory and continuously make meritorious deeds.
If Zhu Fu dared to mock them like this, Xu Xiang and others might not even pay attention to him.
After all, they are all Qianhu military commanders now.
There was sudden silence on the entire dock.
Everyone looked at Guo An with blank faces.
They didn't understand why Guo Changshi didn't seem so unhappy despite having won the battle.
"Xu Qianhu, I would like to ask, how many battles were won in Goryeo? With the help of weapons such as grenades and armor, do you think Xu Xiang can be invincible with so many thousands of soldiers?"
Guo An asked solemnly.
Xu Xiang quickly replied: "Guo Changshi misunderstood, the general will never be arrogant and arrogant!"
Guo An asked: "Then why are these Japanese pirates invading Jianghua Island again and again, and their number of people and ships are increasing each time, why don't you pay attention to them?
Directly unite the army, find their hiding place, and kill them all? "
Xu Xiang's face changed slightly, he leaned close to Guo An's ear and explained in a low voice: "Guo Changshi, His Highness King Yan transferred back 2,000 Mongolians and also replaced 4,000 elite Yanshan Guards.
And the generals on the fleet, such as the last general, must also be elite veterans.
Therefore, many of the soldiers and generals guarding Kaicheng and the dock soldiers were new recruits.
They were not familiar with the situation in Goryeo, and the general and others did not dare to send them into battle! "
Guo An took a long breath of depression and said angrily: "Why do you want to go to war?"
"What does Guo Changshi mean?"
Xu Xiang was puzzled.
Guo An hated the fact that iron could not be transformed into steel, "Among the entire Goryeo wars, could it be that you Yanshan Guards are the only ones?"
Xu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some surprise: "Guo Changshi refers to those Goryeo soldiers?"
"Why, you look down on those Korean soldiers?"
Guo An asked.
Xu Xiang nodded slightly, "Those Goryeo soldiers are just a group of stragglers. In the end, only a thousand generals can defeat ten thousand of them!"
If the general is given five thousand men, then the general can..."
"What does it have to do with you?"
Guo An directly interrupted Xu Xiang's words and said coldly: "Those Goryeo soldiers are not going to fight with you, why are you so idle?
Xu Xiang: "..."
"What I want is for those Goryeo soldiers to find out where the Japanese pirates are hiding, and then let them exterminate those Japanese pirates. As a member of the Thousand Households of Prince Yan's Palace, who can have half a penny relationship with you?"
Guo An was not polite at all, "And now, you all allow the Japanese pirates to invade Jianghua Port again and again, and you also let the Koreans stand on the shore and watch as if they were watching a show.
how?
Are you the Yanshan Guards the saviors of the entire Goryeo? big hero? Those Japanese pirates who looted Goryeo can only be stopped and defeated by you brave and invincible Yanshan Guards? "
"Even if it is defeated by you, after you defeat it, apart from spending a lot of grenades and incendiary bombs, what benefits will you get?
Also, when you defeated those Japanese pirates, were there any casualties on the ship? "
Xu Xiang replied with a mocking smile on his face: "This time, two soldiers were accidentally shot to death by Japanese pirate arrows!"
"Tsk tsk..."
Guo An's face darkened even more and he said with a sneer: "Xu Qianhu is indeed a great hero of the Koryo people. He spent the money of Prince Yan's Palace and the bombs that the craftsmen of Prince Yan's Palace worked so hard to create, sacrificing his own brothers. To defend the Korean people against Japanese pirates...
Xu Qianhu is really a great sage with a kind heart..."
Xu Xiang's face was red.
As for Yan Xiangwu, Chang Guoting, Sun Yan and others on the side, they were all ashamed and panicked.
The words Guo An scolded Xu Xiang were also scolding them.
And because Guo An's voice was not covered in any way, the group of Goryeo dignitaries outside could hear it clearly.
Each and every one of them lowered their heads slightly, filled with bitterness, their good days were over!
really.
Although these Ming soldiers will look down on them, they will not bully them too much.
Even after the Japanese pirates invaded, the Ming Dynasty soldiers and generals did not allow them, the Goryeo dignitaries, to gather a large army to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates.
Those Ming soldiers and generals will defeat the Japanese pirates.
These Goryeo dignitaries were full of joy for this kind of good thing, and often even secretly encouraged it.
However, they did not expect that just how long had passed before Guo An, the chief minister of Prince Yan's Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, would come to Korea again.
As soon as they got off the boat, they began to angrily rebuke Xu Xiang and other Ming generals about this matter.
Moreover, Xu Xiang and other Ming generals treated Guo An with respect and respect, just like they treated the King of Yan. Even if they were scolded bloody, they did not show any dissatisfaction.
"snort!"
After feeling much relieved, Guo An looked at the Goryeo dignitaries who were shrinking their necks.
Maybe they felt something, but those Goryeo dignitaries just raised their heads and met Guo An's eyes.
Then, they all shuddered and bowed with flattering faces.
"The villain Pingzhou Yu Wen will meet Guo Changshi!"
"The villain Gu Shan Kang Shanxin meets Guo Changshi!"
"The villain Zhenzhou..."
Guo An asked directly and coldly: "Each of you is in charge of several states and counties in Goryeo, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Why do you always allow those Japanese pirates to plunder Jianghua Port again and again?
Is it possible that these Koreans want the Japanese pirates to steal these goods and then seek compensation from Prince Yan's Mansion?
Or, do you want me, the generals of Prince Yan's Mansion, to fight with those Japanese pirates, both of us will lose, and you and other Goryeo dignitaries want to reap the benefits? "
"Guo Changshi misunderstood!"
Yu Wending, Kang Shanxin and other Goryeo dignitaries trembled and quickly bowed their hands.
Although many of them have this idea in their hearts, they never dare to express it.
Moreover, there is also some reluctance.
After all, so far, these Ming people really want to do business with them.
Every time, you can bring them a lot of good things.
The only uncomfortable thing is that they need to pay a lot of money. Even if they start digging gold and silver mines now, they feel like they can't hold on.
"Guo Changshi, this group of Japanese pirates has always been on warships and never went ashore. We, the Korean soldiers, have no navy. Even if we want to track them, we are powerless!"
"Please also ask Guo Changshi Mingjian, we and the Goryeo army really cannot pursue those Japanese pirates..."
"snort!"
Guo An snorted coldly, obviously he didn't believe the nonsense of these Goryeo dignitaries.
"The country of Korea is only as big as the palm of your hand. You only need to send some soldiers to monitor the sea along the coast of Korea. You will definitely find the hiding places of the Japanese pirates...
Why is it that in this day and age, these Japanese pirates repeatedly invade our Ganghwa Port, the residence of Prince Yan, but there is no movement at all from you, the Goryeo nobles? "
"Guo Changshi Mingjian, our country of Korea has been invaded by Japanese pirates repeatedly. After so many years, we, the soldiers of Korea..."
A Goryeo nobleman smiled flatteringly and was about to explain.
Guo An's face turned cold and he waved his hand to interrupt.
"You don't have to quibble, I only look at what you do!
I will stay in Kaesong for a month.
If within a month, you cannot find the hiding place of the Japanese pirates, or if you allow the Japanese pirates to invade our Jianghua Port, I have reason to suspect that you are colluding with the Japanese pirates! "
"In the near future, I will discuss with His Highness whether we should cut off trade with you!"
"Guo Changshi, this must not be done!"
"Guo Changshi..."
In an instant, all the Goryeo nobles shouted in panic.
They actually felt that the Guo Changshi in front of them didn't seem to be joking with them.
Guo An, on the other hand, ignored it and went directly to Kaicheng with his bodyguard.
Only a group of Goryeo dignitaries, Yan Xiangwu, Chang Guoting, Xu Xiang and others were left behind, looking at each other in shock!
"Ambassador Chang, is this Guo Changshi?"
"Ambassador Yan, what should I do?"
"Also please ask Ambassador Chang to tell that Guo Changshi..."
"okay!"
Chang Guoting looked solemn, "Guo Changshi sticks to his word, and as long as it is a decision he makes, His Highness King Yan will not object.
Now, if you want to do business with Prince Yan, you'd better do what Guo Changshi said! "
"Exactly, what Guo Changshi said is reasonable. The Japanese pirates have been hiding in Korea for so long, but you have no intention of sending troops to search for them. You have been watching them come to invade our Ganghwa Port. You have bad intentions. …”
…
From Ganghwa Port to Kaesong, there are cement roads all the way.
Moreover, in order to facilitate the transportation of goods, Goryeo nobles often sent people to repair and clean it.
The carriage drove on it and it was smooth all the way.
Soon, the convoy entered Kaicheng.
Goryeo Palace has been renamed Yeon Palace.
As the highest civil servant sent to Kaicheng by the Yan Palace, Jin Zhong has been working in the Yan Palace.
Suddenly seeing Guo An walking in from the door, Jin Zhong was startled and quickly stood up and saluted.
"The official has met Guo Changshi!"
As he spoke, he kept stretching his head and looking out of the hall.
"Okay, stop looking, I am the only one here this time, King Yan is not here!"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Jin Zhong's eyes, followed by a simple and honest smile.
"Guo Changshi, please take a seat quickly!"
"Come here, serve tea..."
Afterwards, the two of them sat down and began to question and answer, or make one-sided reports.
"There are already more than three thousand children?"
Guo An was shocked again when he heard the number of children of those Korean girls.
"Yes, sometimes there are dozens of students a day, and the Wenpo in the city is not enough. I still ask the Goryeo nobles to bring some from their various cities, so that there is enough!"
"These newborn children must be taken care of. If those Korean girls have no food, food must be sent in time!"
"..."
