"One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver?"
Guo An frowned slightly, "Some are missing! But aren't there enough Japanese slaves?"
Zhu Liang was stunned, "Guo Changshi, you can refine 120,000 taels of silver in one month. Is this still little?"
Guo An asked: "Zhu Changshi, how many taels of silver can I earn in a month from the business of Prince Yan's palace with Goryeo?"
Zhu Liang opened his mouth and couldn't help but nodded subconsciously.
Indeed, compared with the Goryeo trade, only 120,000 taels of silver were refined in one month, which is indeed a bit less.
Guo An continued: "His Highness sent me to wait for ten thousand Yanshan Guard troops to come to Goryeo. It cost countless ships, food, grass and explosives. If we can still refine 120,000 taels of silver every month in the future, although it is not a loss, it is still a bit embarrassing. Trust in His Highness.”
Zhu Liang nodded repeatedly.
Guo An asked again: "Zhu Qianhu, can the Japanese slave miners have enough to eat every day now?"
Zhu Liang replied: "Back to Guo Changshi, in order to prevent these two hundred Japanese slaves from having the strength to escape, we only let them eat 60% full every day!"
"No, they have to mine and work hard, so they have to be fed! Also, tell them that our Ming Dynasty is going to attack the Japanese country this time because they Japanese pirates have often robbed our coastal cities in the Ming Dynasty for decades.
The thieves and bandits of the vassal state dare to offend the majesty of our heavenly dynasty.
The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was furious and ordered Prince Huai Liang to restrain the people of Japan.
However, Prince Huailiang not only killed my envoy from the Ming Dynasty, but also wrote a letter to start a war with the Ming Dynasty..."
"This time, our army from the Ming Dynasty came to punish the Japanese country."
"Prince Huai Liang is dead, but the mistakes he made must be borne by the Japanese people.
All people from the Japanese country must mine for our Ming Dynasty. If each person digs out 50,000 kilograms of ore, he can atone for his sins and then leave this place! "
"From now on, all those who have redeemed their sins will be protected by my Ming Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty soldiers will not massacre them without reason!"
"Fifty thousand kilograms of ore?"
Zhu Liang couldn't help but was stunned for a moment, "Guo Changshi, wouldn't it be easy for them to leave?"
"easy?"
Guo An smiled lightly, "They need to dig three hundred kilograms of ore a day for at least half a year.
How many Japanese slaves will die in this half year? "
Zhu Liang opened his mouth with admiration on his face.
“It was Guo Changshi who was so resourceful that he not only gave those Japanese slaves a chance to survive, but also allowed them to see hope and try their best to mine.
Moreover, it can also make them hate me, Daming, less! "
"Actually, Japanese people are very tame!"
Thinking of something, Guo An couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, "These Japanese are all mean-spirited. As long as you are stronger than them, they will be afraid of you, fear you, and then obey you.
Now, they are mining mines for Prince Yan's Mansion and giving them the same treatment as soldiers.
However, if anyone dares to be lazy or run away, he will be severely punished! "
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
"In addition, the two hundred miners are a little short. Tomorrow, Wang You and others will ask for 300 strong Japanese slaves from those Koreans to mine!
One hundred to mine, one hundred to dig for coal, and one hundred to transport coal!
The Japanese slaves who dug and transported coal had to work for two years before being released! "
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
"Also, His Majesty once issued an edict to encourage soldiers to learn crafts. If any soldiers want to learn how to forge silver, they should also learn from those old furnace makers!"
"yes……"
…
Under the command of Guo An, four small cities were occupied with the silver mine as the center.
The more than 40,000 Goryeo soldiers were attacking outwards unscrupulously.
Along the way, many Japanese were frightened by the news and fled first before the Koreans could attack them.
So, unknowingly, the Japanese country was divided into two halves by the more than 40,000 Goryeo army.
After realizing this, the Japanese royal family was furious and ordered the shoguns and princes and nobles from all over the country to summon a large army to wipe out the rampant Koreans.
It's a pity that in such cold winter weather, all Japanese people like to hide in their houses and want to survive the cold winter, without even thinking of going out to fight.
In addition, the bravery of the Korean people also spread to the ears of some Japanese generals and nobles.
All the Japanese generals and nobles were too lazy to do their work and were procrastinating...
Coincidentally, the Chinese New Year is coming soon.
These Japanese generals and nobles can also delay the matter justifiably.
The Japanese admired Chinese customs, and all kinds of festivals were similar to those in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Japanese celebrate the Spring Festival just like the Ming Dynasty, with the first month of the lunar calendar as the beginning of the year.
Pay attention to festive reunion.
Before the New Year's Day, Guo An, who had never advocated conquest, suddenly summoned a group of Yanshan Guards and a group of Goryeo generals.
"Everyone, there are still ten days before the Spring Festival. By then, the whole country of Japan will celebrate the festival with great enthusiasm.
I have decided to take you all to the Kyoto of Japan to celebrate the Empress of Japan, Emperor Komatsu and the General Zhengyi. I wonder if you would like to go? "
"Going to Japan's Kyoto?"
Hearing this, Bian Anlie and all the Goryeo generals looked shocked.
They had captured so many Japanese cities this time, so naturally they all had some understanding of the situation in Japan.
The largest king of Japan is Emperor Gokomatsu, who occupies the capital of Japan, Kyoto, but the power is controlled by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the general who conquered barbarians in the Muromachi shogunate.
However, at Eizanji Temple not far from Kyoto, there was a Japanese Emperor Go Kameyama, who competed with Emperor Gokomatsu from the north for Japanese imperial power.
Prince Huairiang, whom the Ming Dynasty had always hated, was the elder of Emperor Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty.
However, no matter which Japanese emperor he was, he was protected by heavy Japanese troops.
"Guo Changshi, we only have an army of 45,000, plus the 10,000 Yanshan Guards from the Yan Palace, which means an army of 55,000. How can we attack the Japanese capital of Kyoto?"
Bian Anlie asked cautiously.
"You can attack the capital of Goryeo, but you can attack the mere Kyoto of Japan?"
Guo An sneered, "Moreover, if we don't take advantage of the cold winter and have the advantage of winter clothes, we can capture the Japanese Kyoto in one fell swoop.
When the weather warms up, the Japanese will definitely gather a large army to encircle and suppress us! "
Hearing this, all the Goryeo generals couldn't help but look solemn.
Immediately, they all said with solemn faces: "Don't worry, Guo Changshi, these Japanese bandits are not in the habit of building city walls. As long as our army can reach the gates of Kyoto, we will definitely be able to capture Kyoto!"
Bian Anlie asked: "Guo Changshi, I don't know how we got to the Japanese city. The city where we are at this time is more than 300 miles away from the Japanese capital, and there are dozens of Japanese cities.
If we fight all the way, I'm afraid the Japanese Emperor will have already escaped before we arrive! "
Guo Andao: "Take a boat!"
Everyone was stunned, "Take a boat?"
"Exactly!"
Guo An pointed to the map of Japan and said: "We and our army sailed from the sea and took a boat to get here.
This book is not even fifty miles away from Kyoto.
If the journey goes smoothly, we can arrive in Kyoto, Japan, within one day.
If a Japanese city dared to block the road, it would only take up to half a day, and the Japanese court would not be able to react! "
Seeing this, Bian Anlie looked happy and said directly: "Please give the order to Guo Changshi. We will follow Guo Changshi to capture the Japanese capital of Kyoto!"
Not to be outdone, a group of Goryeo generals shouted directly: "Please give the order to Guo Changshi, I will gather the army right away!"
"Very good!"
Guo An nodded with satisfaction.
“You must quickly gather all your troops and abandon all the cities you previously occupied, taking only your property and food.
And there is news that you are going back to Korea to celebrate the New Year! "
All the Goryeo generals' eyes lit up, "General, I will obey the order!"
Soon, a group of Goryeo generals mounted their war horses captured from the Japanese and ran to their respective cities.
One day later.
The 45,000 Korean troops returned in a mighty manner, carrying cartloads of property and food.
Yanshan Guards left two thousand people to guard the city.
Goryeo also left four thousand people behind.
The remaining Yanshan Guards and the Goryeo army, together with 50,000 troops, boarded large ships and headed east along the sea, heading straight for the Japanese capital of Kyoto.
Along the way, we did not encounter any Japanese fleet.
At the same time, the Japanese generals who had been closely guarding the Goryeo army had also discovered the retreat of the Goryeo army.
Immediately overjoyed.
Soon, news about the Koryo people withdrawing their troops and returning to Koryo to celebrate the New Year spread to the Japanese kingdom of Kyoto, where they stayed in the palace at Yeongsan Temple.
The two Japanese courts were immediately overjoyed.
But little did they know that the Koryo army, which had returned to Koryo to celebrate the New Year, was already approaching Kyoto from the sea.
Fifty thousand troops disembarked from a huge bay.
The first thing you see is a Japanese city.
Before the Japanese in the city could react, they went directly to see Prince Huai Liang.
Immediately, the army began to march south along the flat land.
The most annoying thing about the Japanese country is that there are many mountains.
However, all the Goryeo soldiers and generals were filled with excitement.
They can actually destroy the capital of a country?
After walking through the flat land, they climbed over a small valley.
Afterwards, the army arrived at a large lake.
The shores of the big lake are all flat beaches.
Very good for marching.
By chance, we encountered another Japanese city next to the big lake.
A large number of Goryeo troops rushed forward like wolves and tigers, breaking through the city, killing the enemy, and taking away all the equipment that could help in marching, as well as all the horses and mules.
at the same time.
Heavy snow finally fell from the sky.
Regarding this, Guo An and all the troops were full of joy.
Such heavy snow was more conducive to their march.
On this day, it also officially entered the 24th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
The whole country of Japan has begun to celebrate the New Year.
The second day.
Early in the morning.
South of Kyoto.
An army of 50,000 Yanshan Guards and Koreans slowly arrived at the gates of Kyoto in the light of dawn.
At this moment, this huge and prosperous city has not yet woken up.
However, 50,000 pairs of eyes looked at the prosperous capital city in front of them without any walls, and their faces were all shining brightly.
"attack!"
"First take down the Japanese palace and the mansions of the ministers!"
"Follow the order!"
Following General Guo An's order, the Yanshan Guards and Goryeo soldiers could no longer hold back.
Draw out the steel knife and kill directly into the city.
Wild beasts enter the city.
I happened to encounter some samurai patrolling the streets and killed them directly.
Some Japanese people and servants who were woken up curiously opened the windows or doors and took a look outside. Their faces suddenly turned pale and they quickly closed the doors and windows in fear.
The dignitaries and royal palaces of the Japanese country are also the best to identify.
They are all very luxurious and tall mansions.
Outside the offices of the Muromachi shogunate, the Japanese royal palace, the Shiba clan, the Hatakeyama clan, the Uesugi clan, the Niki clan, the Isshiki clan, the Sasaki clan, the Akamatsu clan and other Japanese noble ministers, they were quickly surrounded by Goryeo soldiers and the Yanshan Guard army.
"kill!"
"idiot……"
"boom……"
