"What big mistake did King Qin make? To make His Majesty so angry?"
Chen Shou, Zhu Liang and other generals suddenly looked curious.
When they were in Beiping Mansion, they were not interested in the matters in the court at all. They just thought about fighting and making money all day long...
However, after coming to Japan.
They suddenly became interested in all kinds of things about the Ming Dynasty, from important events in temples to beggars on the roadside. As long as it was about the Ming Dynasty, they wanted to know.
And now, His Highness the King of Qin, the dignified leader of the Ming Dynasty kings and the leader of the Zongren Mansion, has made a big mistake and asked his extremely protective Majesty to recall him to the capital?
In the Japanese country, Xu Xiang also understood the loneliness of these old brothers and said, "I heard that King Qin has committed a crime!"
"Something happened?"
"When you were in Beiping Mansion, did you hear rumors about the King of Qin?"
"Violence? Massive construction?"
"Exactly! The King of Qin once captured the pregnant women of the eighteen tribes of Tufan and brought them into the palace... Also, when the King of Qin went to Xifan before, he snatched back 150 boys and girls from the house and took the boys as well. Child castration…”
"this……"
"Also, King Qin built a lot of construction projects in the palace, built luxurious pavilions and ponds in the palace for fun, and even tortured the palace people in it with his second concubine Deng for fun...
The main concubine, Wang, was imprisoned by King Qin..."
"Imprisoning the royal concubine just because of Duke Wei's daughter? It's a pity that Duke Wei is so famous..."
"Not only that, I heard that King Qin also asked his servants to make the queen's clothes for Deng to wear. He also made the bed in his room into a five-claw dragon bed..."
"Also, under King Qin's rule, some people were dissatisfied with King Qin's cruelty. Some people wanted to go to the capital to complain. When King Qin found out, they were tied to trees, starved to death, and burned to death..."
"hiss……"
"The King of Qin is so arrogant and rude, your Majesty will not spare the King of Qin lightly, right?"
"This time, Your Majesty has sentenced Deng to death! He will summon the King of Qin to the capital and severely punish him!"
"According to His Majesty's temperament, how can we punish him?"
"well!"
"Fortunately, we were not sent to Shaanxi originally."
"It's true, it's true. Following His Highness King Yan, you can live more comfortably than the brothers who stayed in the capital!"
"Hahaha, even ordinary soldiers can get an extra hundred taels of silver every year. How lucky are we, Yanshan Guards?"
"We, the people of Beiping Mansion, have also gone through eight lifetimes of good fortune..."
"However, when your Royal Highness goes to inspect Xi'an and Luoyang, is it possible that His Majesty really wants to move the capital?"
"The capital is fine, but moving the capital will cost money..."
Many of the generals had experienced the tragedy at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and had heard of things even more tragic than those of King Qin.
Each and every one of them, as if they were eating melons, felt so choked up that they began to quickly shift their attention.
"Guo Changshi, I will finally find that the women of the Japanese country are more docile than the women of Goryeo, and know how to take care of others. Do you want to accept a few of them?"
"Exactly, Guo Changshi, I don't know how long we will be stationed in Japan. Is it a little inconvenient for you to have only one Erniu by your side?"
Guo An shook his head repeatedly, "I am timid. I am afraid that like those hundreds of Koreans, I will lose my head in the middle of the night!"
Zhu Liang, Wang You and other Qianhu's faces immediately stiffened.
Indeed, the Korean people are really stubborn.
Among those Japanese women, dozens more have died one after another in the past few months, which is equivalent to the number of people who died in a war.
As for the Yanshan Guards, there were some soldiers who couldn't bear the loneliness and went to find some Japanese girls.
However, no one was killed or injured.
After teasing Zhu Liang and Wang You for a while, Guo An stopped teasing them.
"Commander Chen, Zhu Changshi, the dignitaries and guardian daimyo of Japan, have you collected all the compensation and taxes this year?"
Chen Shou replied: "Back to Guo Changshi, we have only accepted eight families so far!"
Guo An nodded slightly, not annoyed.
"It doesn't matter, they have finished the autumn harvest. In the future, whoever doesn't want to be friends can take the two Japanese kings and the Goryeo soldiers to conquer the rebels.
In addition, the two Japanese kings can issue an edict again, and our Ming Dynasty will accept Japanese dignitaries as ministers.
For those who are ministers of our Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty can send a large army to help them conquer other traitors who are causing chaos in the country! "
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
Chen Shou, Zhu Liang and others' eyes lit up.
"In this case, Japan will be in chaos again!"
“The messier the better!”
"Exactly!"
…
The Japanese state was in chaos again for two months.
The weather finally cooled down.
Yancheng.
The silver mine once again accumulated two million taels of silver.
In addition to the taxes collected from various guardian daimyo and noble families in Japan, there are also some gold, silver and jewelry.
A full thirty ships were loaded.
This time, Guo An selected 4,000 Yanshan guards and 10,000 Korean soldiers to go to the Ming Dynasty.
I have been away from home for a whole year.
Guo An has already felt like returning home.
As for the Yanshan Guards on the ship, this is even more true.
After staying at Jianghua Island for two days, the fleet set sail again and headed for Beiping Prefecture.
Unfortunately.
The canal is now blocked by ice.
Fortunately, next to Dagokou, there are also the workshops and shops of Prince Yan's Mansion and some large warehouses.
All the belongings on the big ship were loaded onto the carriages and headed for Beiping Mansion under the protection of a group of Yanshan guards.
Eight days later.
Beiping Mansion, inside the Palace of Prince Yan.
Guo An, Wang You and other generals of the Yanshan Guards came to pay homage to King Zhu Di of Yan!
Zhu Di was obviously very happy to see Guo An back.
"Thank you for your hard work in conquering Japan!"
Guo An looked solemn, "It is the duty of Wei Chen and others to open up and expand territory for our Ming Dynasty and conquer Japanese bandits!"
Behind him, Wang You, Tan Tong and other thousands or hundreds of households also looked solemn.
This made Zhu Di and Zhu Fu beside him stunned.
Zhu Di asked: "Guo Qing, are the Japanese pirates not as respectful as Goryeo?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An responded directly, "Korea has long been educated by our Central Plains Confucian classics and knows etiquette, honor and disgrace, and advancement and retreat.
But the Japanese bandits were really barbarians, without fathers or kings, ignorant of etiquette, and afraid of power rather than virtue.
To Wei Chen and others, they only show filial piety to Japanese girls.
Even if a lowly minister holds the Japanese king, the Japanese ministers and dignitaries will not pay any attention to him.
In fact, even if the country’s young men suffer heavy casualties, they must often attack our army..."
Zhu Di's expression became serious, "How can Japanese pirates be so barbaric?"
Guo An nodded slightly and said comfortingly: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as Wei Chen and others are given a few more years, they will definitely be able to deal with the Japanese pirates."
Seeing Guo An talking nonsense in a serious manner, Zhu Fuchang Shi and all the officials of Prince Yan's Palace on the side had solemn expressions on their faces.
Wang You, Tan Tong and other Qianhu behind them twitched at the corners of their mouths.
Zhu Di didn't think too much and asked in a deep voice: "Do you want us to send more soldiers to the Japanese country?"
Guo An shook his head repeatedly, "Your Highness, please believe that Wei Chen and others are just a Japanese country. We will never need reinforcements."
Zhu Di took a deep look at Guo An and said, "If you can't hold on anymore, you can withdraw from Japan!"
Guo An bowed his hands and saluted, "I will definitely remember His Highness's order!"
"good!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then said to Guo An, Tan Tong, Wang You and other generals: "You have been away for a year to attack the Japanese country.
In a few days' New Year's Day, I allow you to go home and accompany your family. After the New Year's Day, you can come back to the palace and take orders.
The soldiers who are waiting for you to come back are also like this...
Remember to come to the palace to receive benefits before the Chinese New Year! "
"Your Highness is kind, I would like to thank you for your mercy!"
Guo An, Tan Tong and others could no longer bear it, and their faces were filled with gratitude.
However, the corners of his mouth kept twitching, making Zhu Di narrow his eyes slightly.
He always felt that something was wrong with Guo An and these generals.
As for Zhu Fu and other officials on the side, they only thought that Tan Tong, Wang You and other generals were happy to go home and spend time with their families, and they were too excited.
I didn’t think too much about it.
However, Guo An, Tan Tong and others were really excited.
I have been away from home for a year. Although there were two letters exchanged in the meantime, they were just some black and white words and were not enough to replace my thoughts.
After leaving Yanwang Palace, Guo An took his bodyguard Guo Erniu and ran home.
Those two little brats should be able to tear down doors and tiles in the yard, right?
The toys in the room no longer attract those two cubs...
"Brother Wang, this..."
At the gate of Prince Yan's Palace, seeing Guo An, Tan Tong and other generals looking at each other in disbelief as he ran away without a trace.
Guo Changshi, why haven't you reported to His Highness alone and explained it to His Highness?
Wang You glanced at Tan Tong with confused eyes, "Brother Tan, His Highness has allowed me to wait until I return home and take a rest until after the New Year. Do you have anything else to do?"
With that said, without waiting for Tan Tong's reaction, he walked out quickly.
"I haven't been home for more than a year, so I took the first step!"
"Yagyu?"
"The general is also anxious to go home..."
As he said that, Yagyu and the other generals also lowered their heads and walked quickly away.
When the Japanese were fighting for heads, none of them were that fast!
"Hey, we're in a hurry to go home, and we don't remember anything..."
Tan Tong laughed helplessly and walked to the other side.
"Tan Qianhu stays!"
However, before Tan Tong could go far, a voice from behind called out to Tan Tong.
"Mainet?"
Tan Tong couldn't help but be stunned.
Ma He said: "Tan Qianhu, Your Highness invites you!"
As he followed Ma He to the palace, Tan Tong couldn't help but ask, "Do you know, Chamberlain Ma, why His Highness is calling me?"
Ma He quickly said: "Tan Qianhu, forgive me, I'm just a slave, how can I know His Highness's intentions?"
"Yes, yes, I was reckless..."
Tan Tong couldn't help laughing.
Soon, Tan Tong followed Ma He to the Cunxin Hall.
What surprised Tan Tong was that Zhu Di was the only one in the hall at this moment.
Even Ma He disappeared outside the hall the moment Tan Tong entered the hall.
"The last general is here to meet His Highness. I wonder if His Highness has summoned the last general alone, but what's the important matter?"
Zhu Di stared at Tan Tong closely for a long time and asked in a deep voice: "Tan Tong, what Guo Qing just said about your predicament in Japan is true?"
"Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
Tan Tong's expression changed and he knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
"Um?"
Zhu Di's face darkened, "Tell us carefully."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Tan Tong quickly said: "Your Highness, what Xu Xiang, Zhu Liang and others reported to Your Highness before are all true...
But this time, what Guo Changshi and I said were all spoken to outsiders.
Guo Changshi was afraid that someone, especially those in the court, would take advantage of the Japanese government after learning that our Yan Palace's attack on the Japanese country was very successful.
Therefore, Guo Changshi specially told the last general and others, as well as all the Yanshan guards.
After coming back, no matter who asked, they would always say that the Japanese were barbarians and that it was very difficult for us, Yanshan Guards! "
