When Meng Shan left, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression darkened.
"That bastard Lao Si specially sent a Qianhu who doesn't know the situation of Japan to give us this money. He must be afraid that we know the situation of Japan!"
Zhu Biao nodded slightly, and he could also see Zhu Di's thoughts.
However, for the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country was worse than Goryeo, and he didn't care about it.
"Father, no matter what, the fourth son only sent out an army of 10,000 people.
In this way, he can toss the Japanese country into whatever form he can.
Moreover, since last year, the number of Japanese pirates who have come to invade our coastal cities of Ming Dynasty has become less and less! "
"Um!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "But if you send troops privately, you must be punished!"
Zhu Biao said: "Dad, the fourth man sent 10,000 troops, which cost a huge amount of money and food. I don't know if the fifty ships can be used by him..."
With that said, Zhu Biao stopped.
Erhu walked in slowly with an account book in his hand.
"Your Majesty, this is the list of all the money on the two ships presented to Your Majesty by His Royal Highness King Yan!"
"Twenty boxes of various jewelry, ten boxes of gold and silver ornaments, twenty boxes of gold and silver utensils, two hundred boxes of armor, ten boxes of copper pills, twenty boxes of swords, and two hundred pieces of cloth..."
"In that case, let's spare the fourth child for now!"
After listening, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look satisfied.
"However, Guo An is very good at amassing money. It will definitely be profitable for them to go to such great lengths to attack the Japanese country this time.
Let the fourth child pay us one million taels of silver every year, and we will let him do whatever he wants in Japan! "
"Dad, the fourth child will definitely feel distressed for a long time!"
A smile flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes.
In recent years, Zhu Di has shown great talents, but as the prince, he is also under some pressure.
Now, Lao Si likes to attack those overseas vassals, and he is very supportive.
…
at the same time.
At the Shicheng Gate, along with the tombstone of Prince Huai Liang, the bones, gold and silver jewelry buried with him are placed on the side of the city gate.
Suddenly, it attracted the attention of many people who entered the city.
In particular, the large amount of gold, silver and jewelry made many ordinary people and merchants stop and watch.
But as I looked, I noticed a newly posted notice on the side.
"Now the King of Yan, Zhu Di, has sent Yanshan Guards to his palace to conduct an expedition against the Japanese country. He will be the culprit of allowing Japanese pirates to invade our Ming Dynasty. Prince Huailiang of the Japanese country will dig up graves and dig up their tombstones, bones, and burial belongings..."
"hiss!"
"Is this really the tombstone and bones of Prince Huailiang of Japan?"
"Don't talk nonsense. How could your Majesty lie to ordinary people like us?"
"However, when Prince Huailiang heard that he was the ancestor of the Japanese pirates, His Highness King Yan directly dug up the graves of the Japanese pirates' ancestors and placed them under the gate of my Ming Dynasty city, where they were exposed to wind and rain. Such abuse, the Japanese pirates must not Going crazy?"
"His Royal Highness King Yan is so powerful, he actually dug up the graves of the Japanese pirate ancestors!"
"How great would it be if we could dig up the graves of all the kings of Japan?"
"..."
"What, instead of sending Chang Shi Guoan to attack Goryeo, King Yan sent troops to attack Japan?"
"You also dug up the grave of Prince Huai Liang of the Japanese state, brought it back to the capital, and let the people watch it outside the stone city gate?"
"How is this possible?... Where did King Yan get so many soldiers?"
"First it was Goryeo, and now it is Japan. How are the soldiers and generals under King Yan so brave?"
"Hmph, Zhu Di dares to send troops privately? Isn't he afraid of being punished by His Majesty?"
"We must read his book about King Yan!"
"..."
"It is an insult to politeness, it is an insult to politeness, the dignified King Yan, and that Guo An, who is also a sage after all, are actually digging graves and exhuming graves. I will definitely write a letter to Your Majesty!
I must write a letter to Liu Weiyuan..."
In less than two days, the entire Ming Dynasty was boiling.
As for the memorials to impeach Yan King Zhu Di for sending troops secretly and digging graves, Zhu Yuanzhang's desk was full of cases.
At the court meeting, a large number of civil servants were also directly impeached.
However, this time, Lao Zhu directly suppressed it with one hand.
…
The huge commotion in the capital also reached Beiping Mansion.
Hearing this, the honest man Zhu Fu looked frightened again.
However, Zhu Di looked indifferent.
"Don't worry, Zhu Changshi. We are just using Goryeo soldiers to attack the Japanese country. Your Majesty will never blame us for this, nor will he punish you.
Every year, you only need to pay one million taels more silver to your father!
As for the barking ministers, just listen.
We are King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not their turn to accuse us! "
"But Your Highness, His Highness the King of Qin, His Highness the King of Jin, and others have all written to you..."
"snort!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "It's just that I have no ability and wants to get some money from us, so don't pay attention!"
Zhu Fu looked worried, "But Your Highness, the wool workshop under Prince Yan's residence still needs to purchase wool from Shaanxi and Shaanxi!
If I offend the King of Qin and the King of Jin..."
"When will Prince Yan's Mansion need to be threatened by them?"
Zhu Di's face darkened, the topic changed, and he asked: "Have the property given to the soldiers been distributed?"
"Back to Your Highness, the distribution has been completed!"
Zhu Fu said quickly.
"Very good!"
Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately, he turned his head and ordered He Zhong on the side: "He Zhong, send someone to transport some materials to the gunpowder workshop, so that Tao Yiping, Yang Ting and others can make more firearms.
Zhu Liang, Xu Xiang and others rested for a few days, and then asked them to send them to the Japanese country as soon as possible! "
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Don't worry, Zhu Qing. As long as we conquer Japan, we will make as much money as Goryeo! Don't worry about just some woolen clothes!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
then.
The entire Prince Yan's palace became an old monk who concentrated on meditating and chanting. He was indifferent to foreign affairs and allowed all the forces to impeach and write letters to accuse him, but ignored them all.
A few days later.
Zhu Liang and Xu Xiang, two thousand households, took 2,000 Yanshan Guards, 10,000 shi of grain, 20,000 grenades, 5,000 incendiary bombs, 3,000 mines, and 100 general cannons to the Japanese country.
In fact, Guo An and others would not be short of food in Japan.
However, rice is lacking.
…
Just a few days after Zhu Liang, Xu Xiang and others left.
Zhu Yuanzhang's edict was also issued to Prince Yan's Mansion, ordering Zhu Di to lead Ying Guogong Fu Youde to capture the general Azuli.
“All guards in Peiping and all the passes of the capital must prepare their soldiers and horses, sharpen their equipment, and guard the defenses strictly, and must not be careless...
The Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, was worshiped by Zhu Yuanzhang as a military officer as early as the year later. Together with Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and Guo Yingchong, the Marquis of Wuding, they commanded the guards in Pizhou, Xuzhou, Tengzhou, Yanzhou, Jinan, Pingshan, Dezhou, Le'an and Beiping, and selected elite soldiers to train and prepare the border.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's edict was issued, Zhu Di and Ying Guogong Fu Youde led the army and marched north.
King Zhu Di of Yan was sent to the north by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the ministers in the court could only slowly stop.
Anyway, they understood it clearly.
This time, Yan King Zhu Di's attack on Japan is likely to be the same as the last attack on Goryeo, and he has already received His Majesty's support.
Even, he has to send millions of silver taels to His Majesty every year!
…
In the Japanese country.
There is also the beginning of spring farming season.
After the spring plowing, the major princes of the Japanese country and the guardian daimyo also remembered that the Ming army and the Korean slaves who still occupied a large area of the city of their Japanese country, and even hijacked the two emperors of their Japanese country.
Immediately, armies of Japanese armies were formed and attacked Yancheng.
In the cold winter, when the Japanese faced the Koreans, their fighting power was scum.
But that will happen after the weather warms up.
The fighting power of the Japanese came up directly.
In addition, the number of the Japanese army was several times that of the Koreans.
After several battles, the Koreans were severely defeated. Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but the cities they had captured before were also lost one by one.
In the end, they could only retreat to the four cities around Yancheng.
This time, the Japanese became the attackers.
For city defense, Guo An and Yanshanwei are the best at defending the city in mostly mountainous areas.
Plant mines in a large area, and then occupy a high point, and the power of grenades and incendiary bombs will be directly displayed beyond normal.
The fear of the Japanese was once again dominated by seas of fire and explosions.
After several months of attacks, the entire Japanese population was almost in despair.
Because they were the largest encirclement and suppression of the Ming Dynasty in Japan, with 20 families guarding the name and an army of 200,000.
Before they even got within five miles of the Ming Dynasty, one hundred thousand people died.
Then, wait until they get close to the Ming people.
Those Koreans held shields and rushed forward with all their strength.
At the same time, those Ming people were still using firearms to blast their Japanese warriors.
Forty thousand corpses were left behind again...
Of the 200,000-strong army, only more than 60,000 warriors returned.
Of these, half are disabled.
In this way, in the past six months, in order to encircle and suppress the Ming people and the Korean slaves, the Japanese had lost almost 300,000 young men.
The entire Japanese country was severely damaged.
You know, Japan has always had more men than women.
The total number of young people in the entire Japanese country is less than one million.
This time, a direct loss of 300,000 young people!
"Guo Changshi, if we attack the Japanese country, we should be able to attack the entire Japanese country!"
Chen Shou, Zhu Liang, Wang You and others looked excited after hearing the news from the Japanese slaves.
"No need for this!"
Guo An slowly shook his head.
"We only have 10,000 Yanshan guards. Even if we attack all the Japanese countries, who can we send to govern them?
In the end, the Koreans were not cheap!
Moreover, there are not many young Japanese left. If more people are killed, who will plant the fields?
If there were no Japanese people to grow food, we would have no choice but to transport food from Daming...
The gain outweighs the loss! "
"So, let's spare those Japanese thieves for now!"
Chen Shou, Zhu Liang and others nodded slowly.
The next period of time.
I don’t know if it was during the autumn harvest that the Japanese were completely subdued, and no Japanese nobles or warriors came to attack Guo An and the others.
However, if Guo An and others have something to do, they can ask Emperor Go Kameyama, Emperor Go Komatsu, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and others, the guardian daimyo and dignitaries of the Japanese country, to give some orders.
The guardian daimyo and Japanese nobles were also frightened by the Ming Dynasty's firearms, and they were trying their best to satisfy Guo An and others.
He even spontaneously sent hundreds of Japanese beauties to Guo An and others.
…
Another month passed.
Xu Xiang took two thousand Yanshan guards and sent back two million taels of silver to the Yan Palace of the Ming Dynasty. He also brought tens of thousands of grenades, incendiary bombs, landmines and other bombs back to Japan.
There are also ten thousand shi of new rice on board.
"Guo Changshi, His Highness the King of Yan led Duke Ying Fu Youde and other military generals to a great victory in the Northern Expedition, and captured Azuli and other Mongolian generals and gave them to..."
"In addition, His Majesty the King of Qin seems to have made a big mistake and was recalled to the capital by His Majesty!"
"Guo Changshi, Your Majesty seems to have the intention to move the capital, and has also sent the Crown Prince to inspect Guanzhong and Luoyang..."
