Guo An began to get busy.

However, Guo An was busy with joy.

It should be said that the work that can keep Guo An busy is the work that Guo An likes.

Especially the attack on the Wa Kingdom!

He's been planning this for a long time.

It's good to attack the Wa Kingdom, not only can I feel very happy, but I also have the famous Iwami Silver Mine!

Not only is there a lot of silver ore stored, but it is also easy to mine, which makes Guo An even more greedy.

In particular, digging up this silver mine basically cut off the financial resources of the Japanese state.

In later generations, the Japanese kingdom was able to develop rapidly, leap up, trade with other countries, and become a small power, all thanks to this silver mine!

The Wa Kingdom has been digging for 400 years and has also developed for 400 years.

Of course, the gold and silver mines of the Wa Kingdom are not only Iwami Ginzan, but also Sado Gold Mine and Ikuno Silver Mountain......

Otherwise, it would not be possible for the Wa Kingdom to have so much financial support in the future to invade his suzerain.

In Daming, the most lacking thing is gold and silver.

Originally, there were few gold and silver mines, and those powerful kings liked to wait for their deaths to take all the gold and silver stored in their families to the graves.

This makes the gold and silver of the Ming Dynasty even more scarce.

And now, the treasure money on the market is about to overflow, and Lao Zhu still prohibits the people from using silver privately.

Although he knew what the consequences would be, Guo An was also powerless.

Except that Guo An has some selfishness.

Guo An also knows that even if he wastes a few days and talks to Zhu Di clearly, what inflation is and what kind of disaster it can bring to Daming, it will not help!

Because, he couldn't tell Lao Zhu clearly, and Zhu Di didn't dare to point to Lao Zhu's nose and tell Lao Zhu, how wrong was his move?

It's better to dig up the gold and silver of the Wa Kingdom to Daming!

Anyway, with gunpowder in hand, and as much labor as Goryeo and Wa, it is enough to blow up the mountains and islands.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about damaging the environment, and there is no need to worry about the death or injury of labor, and you can also make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

This is the most beneficial method for Guo An!

So, wait until the fleet comes to Beiping again.

Zhu Di asked Guo An about the gunpowder workshop.

Guo An replied: "Your Highness, the gunpowder workshop has prepared 40,000 grenades, 30,000 incendiary bombs, 20,000 mines, and 50 large and small general cannons. ”

"So many?"

Zhu Di was taken aback.

"Guo Qing, is it possible that you also want to take this opportunity to directly capture the Japanese Kingdom?"

Guo An shook his head, "Your Highness, if you want to capture the Wa Kingdom, you need at least 50,000 Yanshan Guards." Weichen just wants to take this opportunity to kill the widows.

Completely let the Goryeo soldiers see the power of my Ming artillery, and let them know that with the pitiful gunpowder technology in their hands, they have no chance of winning against my Ming! ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, now his Yan Wangfu is very rich, as a military general, he also wants to see, tens of thousands of bombs down, what will happen to the Japanese Empire?

Just thinking about it, Zhu Di felt his blood boiling!

"Guo Qing, instruct the gunpowder workshop to let them load some of the bombs, and this time the fleet will transport some of them over first!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo An hurriedly nodded in response.

Thereupon.

When Xu Xiang took a group of cronies and waited at Zhangjiawan Wharf to receive the goods.

I saw that Zhu Di and Guo An personally came to the dock with a team of carriages.

"The last general will see His Royal Highness, and I have seen Guo Changshi!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then asked, "Where are the five empty ships we told you to leave behind?" ”

Xu Xiang glanced at the long convoy, and hurriedly pointed to the five empty big ships in the corner and said, "Your Highness, those five big ships are!" ”

"Very good!"

Zhu Di glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.

Zhu Neng, Qiu Song, Chen Xi, Li Jun...... Hurry up and bring people to carry these boxes! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and the others, who were closely watching the bombs, hurriedly responded.

Immediately, one by one, they carefully directed the carriage and headed to the side of the big ship.

At the same time, there was also a team of soldiers who came out directly to isolate everyone at the dock from the convoy.

Seeing this, Xu Xiang's face changed slightly, "Your Highness, what are these goods?" ”

"Grenades, incendiary grenades, mines, general cannons!"

Zhu Di said lightly.

Xu Xiang's expression suddenly froze, and he instructed the hundred households and the general banner on the left and right: "Lu Shengwu, Feng Ma, quickly take your subordinates and help these brothers to carry these boxes onto the big ship."

Be careful not to drop any boxes or bumps! ”

"Yes, Chiho!"

Several hundred households and general banners behind Xu Xiang hurriedly responded and began to help.

They followed Xu Xiang and fought many times, but they knew best how squeamish and short-tempered the gunpowder of incendiary bombs and grenades were.

"Your Highness, how many of these are there?"

Xu Xiang couldn't help but ask curiously.

Guo An replied: "20,000 grenades, 20,000 incendiary bombs, 10,000 mines, and 50 large and small general cannons, 50 each......"

"Hiss......"

Xu Xiang's eyes widened, and then his face was full of excitement.

"Your Highness, are you going to attack the Wa Kingdom?"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"Next time, when the fleet comes, pull up another batch of bombs and attack!"

"Another batch?"

Xu Xiang was surprised.

"With such gunpowder, how can you attack the Japanese state? Is it possible, to tickle the Wa Kingdom, and let the Wa Guo see my Ming jokes? ”

Zhu Di smiled disdainfully, with a proud face.

"Also, when attacking the Japanese kingdom in winter, the soldiers are prone to freezing their hands. Then you go and inform the Goryeo nobles that I have a hand coat and hat made of wool, which can protect your hands and heads.

These clothes are the things they went out with my Ming Dynasty, and we don't make any money from them.

Each of them a set of a tael of silver, and if they wanted it, they gave it money.

The next time the fleet comes, bring it to them! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Xiang replied again.

Subsequently.

When all the bombs and gunpowder were loaded onto the ship, the fleet set sail and set sail.

On the way back, Guo An remembered something, and hurriedly said to Zhu Di: "Your Highness, you want to lead troops to attack the Japanese Kingdom, but do you want to report this matter to Your Majesty?" ”

"No!"

Zhu Di subconsciously shook his head.

Then, thinking of something, he said helplessly: "I can't hide this matter from my father." ”

"Okay, Guo Qing doesn't have to worry about this.

We will pay tribute to our father, there are Japanese pirates who are extremely arrogant, and the military and people of Goryeo also hate them very much.

Let's prepare to bring some Yanshan guards and gather another 20,000 Goryeo soldiers to test the reality of the Japanese kingdom.

I can't just allow the Japanese to invade my Ming Dynasty, but my Ming Dynasty can also invade and harass the Japanese country.

By the way, it also allowed Goryeo to contribute and weaken the forces of Goryeo......"

"Your Highness is wise!"

……

Five days later.

Lao Zhu received Zhu Di's letter.

"Father, the fourth child is my Daming Yan King, how can you risk your life? In addition, in the cold winter season, Goryeo is extremely cold, is it a little inappropriate to send troops at this time? ”

Although Zhu Biao did not lead troops to fight, he followed Lao Zhu all day long and approved so many twists and turns.

I also know how dangerous it is to lead troops to war.

In particular, when the weather was freezing cold, he also crossed the sea to attack the strange Wa Kingdom.

On the contrary, Lao Zhu had all kinds of calculations in his heart.

Over the years, he has long been disgusted by the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

It's just that the first target of the Ming Dynasty's conquest and extermination was the Mongols in the north.

Even if the Ming Dynasty recruited a large army and destroyed the country, it would be a waste of money and money.

It is better to send troops to garrison the seaside city and guard against those Japanese robbers.

However, now Zhu Di actually wants to take the initiative to lead troops to take revenge on the Japanese and attack the big island of the Japanese country. Moreover, he still learned from the former Yuan and took the Goryeo soldiers as the main vanguard.

In this way, at most, some grain and grass will be consumed...... It is even possible that these grains and grasses were also supplied by the Goryeo nobles or the Goryeo people.

Moreover, in the past two years, Beiping Mansion seems to have been greatly governed......

Thinking about it, Lao Zhu subconsciously nodded slightly.

Below, Zhu Biao was stunned, "Dad, do you agree to the fourth child's request?" ”

"Hmm!"

Lao Zhu said: "Now that the old four soldiers are strong and strong, they are just attacking a Japanese country, is it possible that only the Japanese country is allowed to invade my Ming Dynasty, and I am not allowed to send troops to attack the Japanese country?" ”

Zhu Biao was still puzzled.

Lao Zhu continued: "According to the fourth child's temperament, could it be that if we don't agree, he won't secretly take his troops to attack the Japanese country?" ”

Zhu Biao was stunned, and his brows furrowed subconsciously.

According to the boldness of the fourth child, it is really possible that he will secretly lead a large army to attack the Japanese country.

Zhu Biao said: "But Dad, the fourth child is the king of Yan, he needs to be really Beiping, and he can't leave Beiping for a long time." ”

"Hmph, that's something that the fourth child needs to think about, what do we have to do with it?"

Lao Zhu snorted coldly, "He is the Yan King of Beiping Mansion, if the people of Beiping Mansion are harassed by the Mongols, let's ask him and withdraw his personal guards, except for his vassal state!" ”

Zhu Biao: "......"

……

"This ......"

Seeing Zhu Biao's reply, Zhu Di looked helpless.

"Guo Qing, my father rejected us like this!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Guo An could only say very sincerely.

Zhu Di looked at Guo An in disbelief, "Could it be that Guo Qing doesn't want this king to lead troops to attack the Japanese Kingdom?" ”

"Your Highness has misunderstood Weichen."

Guo An hurriedly explained, "Weichen just thinks that what His Majesty said now is reasonable. ”

"Now the Mongolians are being beaten by my Daming, and they don't dare to come out at all when they hide in the depths of the desert. Could it be that they still dare to harass my Daming border? ”

Zhu Di said indignantly, "Even if there are Mongolians who dare to harass my Ming border, so what? Can you still take advantage of it? ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, maybe Your Majesty wants you to lead the army to the north!" ”

"Let us lead the army to the north......"

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be silent.

After a while, he said directly: "Guo Qing, follow us to Goryeo." In addition, send troops to detectives, as long as the sea is no longer windy, they will send troops to attack the Japanese country.

Let's go back to Beiping Mansion before the New Year's Festival. ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Guo An responded.

Immediately, one order after another was handed down.

The entire Yanwang Mansion began to operate rapidly.

This time, Zhu Di did not inspect the Goryeo Yan Kingdom in the past, nor did he play, but directly led the troops to fight.

Grain and grass, military scribes, doctors, craftsmen, food, chili peppers, all kinds of protective clothing, iron furnace and charcoal......

All of this has to be prepared.

At the same time, everything in the family must also be explained clearly.

More than ten days later.

Xu Xiang once again led the fleet back to Zhangjiawan Wharf.

At the same time, they also brought hand-worn clothes and headgear money paid by the Goryeo nobles.

This time, the fleet rested for only three days before setting off again.
