Fifty ships worth of property?
At this time, not only the merchants and gentry from all over the country were rushing to Zhangjiawan Pier as if they were attending a big market.
At the same time, the wealthy gentry from various counties and counties in Beiping Prefecture took the lead in rushing to Zhangjiawan Wharf with their families' money.
According to the practice of the Yan Palace, at least thirty ships must be sold out of the fifty ships.
If they can buy some first, use them for themselves, or sell them to others, they will make a lot of money.
then.
It took less than two days.
Zhangjiawan Pier has already experienced congestion.
Along with the river, the surrounding roads began to be blocked, and even the streets in Beiping City were crowded with people.
The officials under the Yamen of Beiping Prefecture are even more busy with their feet on the ground.
but.
Fortunately, the general judge of Beiping Prefecture Yamen has been taken over by Wang Zhen, the former Dianshi of Wanping County.
All the forces, large and small, inside and outside Beiping City, must give Wang Zhen some face.
It didn't cause much commotion.
but.
As the news spread, Zhu Fan, the king of Shanxi Jin Dynasty, couldn't help but became furious.
It’s the fourth child again.
Not only did he gain military merit, he was also able to send troops to attack Goryeo and seize so much property.
How can he, the King of Yan, possess the wealth of fifty large ships?
As for the King of Qin, Zhu Xi, he directly picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Zhu Di.
We are both princes. You, the fourth brother, have taken such a big advantage. No matter what, you have to share some profits with his second brother, right?
In recent years, Prince Qin's Mansion has been very poor!
…
at the same time.
The urgent letter from the Jin Yiwei of Beiping Prefecture also arrived in the capital.
"The property of fifty large ships?... It is suspected that Goryeo was captured?"
"The fourth child also selected two shiploads of property and sent them to us from Qianhu Mengshan..."
After reading Jin Yiwei's report, Lao Zhu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Soon, there was an uproar in the capital.
Zhu Biao also came to see Zhu Yuanzhang in a hurry.
"Dad, the whole capital is now spreading rumors that Guo An, the chief minister dispatched by the fourth son for half a year, is actually going to attack Goryeo.
Now, Goryeo has been attacked! "
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled.
Immediately, he smiled faintly and said: "Biao'er, the fourth child is not confused, why do you want to attack Goryeo?"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Dad, did that boy from the fourth brother finally give you a memorial?"
Lao Zhu said slowly: "It's time to go!"
Zhu Biao was a little confused, "Should I go up?"
"It hasn't been delivered yet!"
Zhu Biao: "..."
soon.
Two days later, Zhu Biao understood the meaning of Lao Zhu's words.
Two large ships filled with property sailed directly into the capital's harbor dock.
As for Qianhu Mengshan, he came to His Highness Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully with Zhu Di's memorial and the three artifacts.
Zhu Biao was also standing with His Highness, but he did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just glanced at the memorial a few times, would actually open his mouth and burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay, what a great Guo An, he is indeed worthy of being my wise and wise minister!"
Zhu Biao hadn't seen his father so happy for a long time, and he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Dad, what makes you so happy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then Guo An led the Yanshan Guards to dig up the grave of the old Huai Liang traitor to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Old thief Huai Liang?"
Zhu Biao was a little confused.
Lao Zhu had already stood up with excitement on his face, "Erhu, prepare the car, come with us to the big ship!"
"The general will obey the order!"
Erhu responded quickly.
Zhu Biao was startled, "Father, just let Commander Zhao bring the items on the ship into the palace. Why bother you to go there in person?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands indifferently and said excitedly: "We can't wait!"
Zhu Biao asked: "May I ask my father, what is it?..."
Lao Zhu directly smiled and said, "The grave of the old thief Huai Liang!"
"grave?"
Zhu Biao's eyes widened, still a little confused.
At this moment, Lao Zhu could not wait to walk out.
As for those bastard Japanese slaves, Lao Zhu really wanted to capture all the Japanese slaves and bring them to the Ming Dynasty, and castrate them as slaves and maids to the Ming Dynasty!
Especially the old Japanese thief Huai Liang who killed the envoys he sent several times and wanted to fight with him.
However, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to attack a small country like Japan, it would cost a lot of money, and it would be of no use even if it was attacked. It was really not worth it!
Lao Zhu was very angry, but he could not send troops, so he could only ask the craftsmen to make a Japanese fan and write "The Japanese Fan Xing", which was used to curse the king of the Japanese country and the unethical people as thieves.
However, they never expected that a little Chang Shi, who was proficient in all kinds of craftsmanship, would give him such a bad breath.
He actually dug out the grave of the old Huai Liang thief and brought him back to the Ming Dynasty!
As for the three artifacts of the Japanese country, Lao Zhu and Zhu Di didn't pay too much attention to them.
Soon, a carriage was ready.
Lao Zhu took Zhu Biao to the two large ships.
"Is this a tombstone?"
Zhu Biao frowned slightly when he saw the familiar stone tablet.
"Going back to His Majesty the Crown Prince, it is the tombstone of Prince Huai Liang of the Japanese Kingdom!"
On the side, Meng Shan quickly replied.
"Prince Huai Liang of Japan?"
At this time, Zhu Biao finally remembered, and his face was full of surprise.
"You Yanshan Guards dug up the grave of Prince Huai Liang?"
"Exactly!"
Meng Shan replied respectfully.
Zhu Biao was stunned.
On the side, Lao Zhu suddenly asked: "Does this jar contain the bones of the old thief Huai Liang?"
Meng Shan replied: "Your Highness, it is the bones of the old traitor Huai Liang!"
"vomit!"
Lao Zhu took a mouthful of thick phlegm and pouted it directly.
"An old thief who can't survive us dares to insult our power in heaven?"
"Erhu!"
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
Erhu stepped forward quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Throw the wooden tomb of the old thief Huai Liang outside the stone city gate, and send a few people to watch it.
We want all the people of the Ming Dynasty to see that Lao Si sent people to dig up the grave of the Japanese thief Huai Liang. Even the bones, tombstones and burial objects of the old thief Huai Liang were taken back to the Ming Dynasty for punishment! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Erhu responded.
As for Prince Zhu Biao, his face was also full of excitement.
At this moment, there is no one in the Ming Dynasty who is eager to crush the Japanese pirates to ashes!
As Erhu sent people to take away the tombstone and bones of Prince Huailiang, Zhu Yuanzhang asked curiously: "Meng Qing, tell us how many people you used to attack the entire Japanese country." Come down?
How did they dig up the grave of the old Huai Liang thief and bring him back to the Ming Dynasty? "
Zhu Biao also stared closely at Meng Shan. The Japanese country was also a country after all.
As far as he knew, Zhu Di did not send many Yanshan Guards. Why not only attacked the Japanese Kingdom, but also dug up the ancestral graves of the Japanese royal family and brought the bones back to the Ming Dynasty. Those Japanese Kingdoms were not allowed to fight against the Yanshan Guards?
Meng Shan quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The general was just ordered by His Royal Highness King Yan to come to present a gift to His Majesty. He did not go to attack the Japanese country, and I don't know the specific details!"
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned directly.
"You didn't go to Wacheng?"
"Exactly!" Meng Shan replied hurriedly.
"In the past few years, I have been switching guard between Beiping Mansion and Goryeo Yan Kingdom, and I have never been to Japan once!"
"Goryeo Yan Kingdom?"
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both looked at Meng Shan fiercely, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
"The fourth child founded the country in Goryeo?"
Meng Shan's expression changed greatly, and he quickly apologized, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. General..."
Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted Meng Shan and said, "Tell us carefully about the affairs of Yan State!"
"According to the order!"
Meng Shan shuddered, but did not dare to hide anything, "Back to your majesty, after His Royal Highness King Yan attacked Kaicheng, the capital of Goryeo, he brought Goryeo King Wang You and the seal of Goryeo to the capital to present to Your Majesty.
At the same time, His Highness asked His Majesty for instructions. The King of Goryeo, Wang You, had already paid off the debts of Kaicheng, the capital of Goryeo, as well as Ganghwa Island and Yan'an County and handed them over to the Prince of Yan's Mansion. His Highness, Prince of Yan, wanted to establish the Kingdom of Yan in those three cities.
Therefore, our Prince Yan Mansion is actually doing business with the Goryeo State of Yan..."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What is the population of Goryeo Yan?"
Meng Shan quickly replied: "There are more than 100,000 people in total!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and continued to ask quietly: "How did Zhu Di govern the Goryeo Yan Kingdom?"
Meng Shan replied: "Your Majesty, the Goryeo Yan Kingdom has the scribes of Prince Yan's palace as the chief officials, and the original Goryeo officials as the auxiliary officers.
Our Yanshan Guard army is stationed in these three cities.
At the same time, Gao Liyan implemented wooden identity cards in China, and the wooden cards must be written...
Those with wooden tablets will receive all kinds of preferential treatment for the people of Yan State.
As for those who do not have wooden tablets, even other Goryeo dignitaries cannot enjoy preferential treatment..."
"Everyone in Korea must speak our Ming language..."
"Prince Yan's Mansion gives some rewards from time to time to some Koreans who learn my Ming language, such as my Ming enlightenment classics, some gadgets, or money...
In the Goryeo State of Yan, all Goryeo people are proud to speak our Ming Dynasty dialect!
All shops must hang plaques written in my Ming language..."
After hearing this, Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction.
"I didn't expect that the fourth child would actually have the talent to govern the country!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Meng Shan and asked, "Who came up with these methods for governing the country?"
Zhu Biao was stunned.
Meng Shan quickly replied: "Your Majesty, this is what Guo Changshi wants!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Where is Guo An now?"
Meng Shan: "Back to Your Highness, it seems that Guo Changshi is still guarding the Japanese country!"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Since there are Yanshan Guards guarding the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo, where will the soldiers come from to attack the Japanese Kingdom?"
Meng Shan quickly replied: "Reporting to your majesty, there are only more than 4,000 Yanshan guards guarding the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo.
His Highness King Yan mobilized 10,000 Yanshan guards and recruited 50,000 Korean troops from the Korean nobles in Korea, for a total of 60,000 troops to conquer the Japanese country! "
Zhu Yuanzhang said thoughtfully: "So, now Guo An is guarding the entire Japanese country with thousands of Yanshan guards and tens of thousands of Korean troops?"
Meng Shan quickly knelt down and apologized again, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. After receiving the order from His Highness King Yan, I quickly escorted the ship to the capital without knowing the specific situation of the Japanese country!"
"Okay, get up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand casually, his face turned cold again, "Humph, this bastard Fourth is getting bolder and bolder!"
Zhu Biao quickly begged Zhu Yuanzhang, "Please forgive me, father. The Japanese country dared to allow the Japanese pirates to invade our country, the Ming Dynasty. It is a serious crime."
Although Lao Si was guilty of sending troops without permission, it was still a great achievement to capture the Japanese country and dig out the tomb of Prince Huai Liang and send it to the capital! "
Meng Shan quickly knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, it is clear that His Royal Highness King Yan sent troops to attack the Japanese country because the Japanese country had also set its sights on Ganghwa Port of Yan Kingdom in Goryeo and tried to rob our fleet of King Yan's palace."
"So, Lao Si can privately send troops to attack the Japanese country? If the vassal kings and generals of the Ming Dynasty also send troops so wantonly, then what is the use of the court?
What's the use of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion? "
Meng Shan's face was full of fear, "Your Majesty has learned clearly..."
