Park Dingji was ordered to see Guo Zhiyuan, and when he saw Guo Zhiyuan, he couldn't help but complain with a wry smile: "Lord Guo, the good things you have done have made my Korean monarch and minister so miserable!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan deliberately pretended to be confused and said: "Why did Master Park say this? Guo hasn't done anything in the past few days, except for last night I drank some wine with Lord Li Yuanyi, Lord Han Xiaochun, and other adults, and I haven't gone anywhere? ……”

Park Dingji also knew that it was impossible for Guo Zhiyuan to admit that he had done the case of killing the Houjin Mission, so he shook his head and said: "Lord Guo, there are some things that you and I know well, my lord asked me to tell you, he agreed to your request to borrow the way, and asked Lord Guo when he was going to leave?" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand lazily and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, your country's warm hospitality makes Guo feel at home, and he is a little happy, if he wants to stay longer, it should be no problem, right?" ……”

Park Dingji was stunned for a moment, what does this Guo Zhiyuan want to do? Didn't he do so many things just to get the lord of the country to agree to him to take advantage of the road to copy Houjin's back road? Now the lord of the country has promised him, but he won't leave?!

Guo Zhiyuan knew that Park Dingji would react like this, and without waiting for him to ask a question, he waved his hand and said: "You don't have to answer me in a hurry, I only talk to those who can call the shots, go back and ask Guang Haijun, he should know how to answer me......"

Park Dingji can't be the master and can only go back to Guanghaijun to return to his life, Guanghaijun is a little crazy, this Guo Zhiyuan is obviously relying on himself, let him go or not? However, Guo Zhiyuan had no choice but to let Park Ding-gil arrange for people to pay close attention to the movements of Guo Zhiyuan's fleet left in the Waters and Islands off North Korea.

Not to mention that Guang Haijun didn't understand what kind of medicine Guo Zhiyuan was selling in his gourd, even Li Guozhu and the others didn't understand why Guo Zhiyuan didn't leave since Guang Haijun had agreed to Guo Zhiyuan's request to borrow the way? Of course, Guo Zhiyuan can't tell them that he is pinching his days, the battle of Sarhu will not start until the first day of the third lunar month in 1619, and there are still many months before now.

This is also the reason why Guo Zhiyuan's plan is not favored by Guang Haijun, this kind of thing is very technical, the timing is not good, if you want to stab the tiger's buttocks, you will poke it in the tiger's teeth and send it to others to beat, that is, Guo Zhiyuan has to wear. The more advantageous he is, knowing the exact outbreak time of the Battle of Sarhu and the marching route of the Houjin, he dares to copy the back road of the Houjin army so boldly!

So Guo Zhiyuan just smiled mysteriously: "We have done so much to get the North Koreans to agree to let us take advantage of the way to copy Houjin's back road, of course we have to ask for some money, anyway, now the initiative is in our hands, it is they who should be in a hurry, we are not in a hurry......"

Li Guozhu They don't have a good impression of the Koreans, the Ming Dynasty did not hesitate to spend national strength to help the Koreans defeat the Japanese invading army, but the Koreans wavered at the critical moment when the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty started the war, this is treachery, and the Koreans did not do this kind of thing, so I don't think Guo Zhiyuan did it too much.

In this way, it took another month, and it was about to reach the Lunar New Year (North Korea is influenced by Chinese culture, and the Spring Festival is the same day as China), Guanghaijun can no longer sit still, and Guo Zhiyuan's supply of 20,000 self-new troops in the Dehe Islands is still responsible for North Korea, this is not a small number, and it can't be consumed for a long time!

Guang Haijun could only send Park Dingji to ask Guo Zhiyuan again how to leave North Korea, this time Guo Zhiyuan did not hide it anymore, and directly opened the conditions, he said that he wanted to copy Houjin's back road, and needed a guide who was familiar with the terrain of Liaodong, so he asked North Korea to send a hundred Orions who were familiar with the terrain of Liaodong to act together with the New Army, and the New Army lacked war horses, and North Korea needed to provide 5,000 war horses for the cavalry of the New Army.

If the first two conditions mentioned by Guo Zhiyuan are barely acceptable, the third condition proposed by Guo Zhiyuan is indeed a bit excessive, he actually asked for the drawings of the North Korean "tortoiseshell ship"!

When it comes to "tortoiseshell boats", one person must be mentioned, the famous general in Korean history--- Yi Sunsin! The "tortoiseshell ship" was invented by Yi Sunsin on the basis of his predecessors, and it can be regarded as the world's earliest ironclad ship. Unlike most of the sea ships of this era, tortoiseshell ships have shells made of hardwood on the deck and are wrapped with scaly iron sheets, resembling tortoiseshells, so they are called tortoiseshell ships. This shell of the tortoiseshell ship can resist the projection of enemy bows and arrows and firearms, and on the top cover and next to the deck, there are also many sharp iron cones and sharp knives to make it difficult for the enemy to climb, and the bow of the ship is in the shape of a dragon's head, with two or four cannon holes inside, and the head and tail are equipped with large iron cones, which can be used to ram the enemy ship.

At the same time, the tortoiseshell ship is also equipped with a double deck, divided into two layers, the upper deck is the artillery compartment for firing weapons, and the lower deck is the power cabin (paddle), so that it can be accelerated by manpower paddle during offshore combat, which is more flexible and faster than wind-powered sailboats, and the "tortoiseshell" covered with scaly iron sheets is difficult to penetrate with muskets and ordinary artillery in this era, which makes the "tortoiseshell ship" look like an invulnerable monster!

It was with the "tortoiseshell ship" that Yi Sunsin shined in the Imjin War, and repeatedly defeated the Japanese sailors, especially in the Battle of Mingliang, Yi Sunsin used 12 "tortoiseshell ships" and 100 modified civilian ships to meet the Japanese sailors 130 warships and 200 transport ships, and defeated the Japanese sailors with fewer victories and more (this battle is disputed, and Korean history is used here). Therefore, Yi Sunsin was revered by the Koreans as the god of war in Korea, and his status in Korea was almost the same as Qi Jiguang's status in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty.

And this kind of tortoiseshell ship is also proudly called the strongest warship in the world by the North Koreans at that time, regarded as the crystallization of the wisdom of the Koreans, which is of course a bit exaggerated, in fact, the tortoiseshell ship is based on the ancient Chinese Mengchong ship as the prototype of the North Koreans, and it also has a fatal shortcoming, that is, it is only suitable for offshore combat, lack of ocean-going endurance, and at the same time the loading capacity is also limited, can not carry heavy artillery, not to mention its comprehensive combat effectiveness compared with the galleon equipped with heavy artillery Spaniards, even Guo Zhiyuan's Qianshi-class battleship is not as good.

However, Guo Zhiyuan also took a fancy to the advantages of the tortoiseshell ship in offshore warfare, so he asked for the drawings of the tortoiseshell ship by name, but the North Koreans have always regarded the "tortoiseshell ship" as their core secret, how could they agree to Guo Zhiyuan's "unreasonable" request, so Park Dingji was angry when he heard it, and said angrily: "Lord Guo, you are so inch-inch, do you really think that no one cares about me?!" Although my dynasty is small, I am not bullied! ……”
