Chapter 280: The Benefits of Fighting a War in the Cold Winter

"Your Highness, the last general and others have lived up to their mission and finally found the location of the silver mountain!"

Coming to Zhu Di, Wang You reported with joy on his face.

At the same time, he also directly put the worn-out box that he had been holding tightly in his arms in front of Zhu Di and slowly opened it.

Guo An, Zhu Liang, Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others all stared at each other and looked curiously.

"This ......"

Seeing the gray but silver nuggets in the box, Zhu Di's eyes instantly lit up.

As for Guo An, Zhu Liang and others, they were all wide-eyed and full of surprise.

However, Zhu Di alone occupied the box of silver nuggets, and Zhu Liang and the others could only surround and watch.

"Guo Qing ......"

Zhu Di raised his head and shouted to the side.

It's just that as soon as he raised his head, he saw that Guo An was already squatting in front of him, picking up a silver nugget with one hand, knocking on it with a bell, and pinching it with his hand.

Zhu Di: "......"

"Your Highness, this seems to be really silver."

"It's silver!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "It's just that these Japanese people are not skilled, and the silver nuggets refined still contain a lot of impurities."

If my silversmith of the Ming Dynasty came to refine it, it would definitely be even more silvery. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di raised his head again and looked at the boxes in the hands of Yan Shanwei behind him.

"Wang Qing, these are all silver nuggets?"

"Back to Your Highness, these wooden boxes are filled with silver nuggets."

Wang You hurriedly waved his hand, and all Yan Shanwei gently placed the boxes in their hands in front of Zhu Di.

Then, open them one by one.

Hundreds of chests, all filled with silver nuggets of various sizes.

Although it was dusty, it was shining brightly in the sun.

"Hiss......"

Guo An couldn't help but take a cold breath.

And Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and the others were even more unbearable, and their eyes were about to bulge.

They had never seen so much silver when they had grown so big.

Wang You explained with a happy face, "When the last general finds the silver mine, there is a silver refining workshop and a silver vault not far away.

After slaughtering those Japanese craftsmen, the last general and others took back all the silver pieces refined by those Japanese people to His Highness! ”

"Great work!"

Zhu Di looked happy, "With so much silver, this king has no loss in sending troops this time!" ”

"Can you make a note of the location of the silver mine?"

Wang You hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the last generals will remember it, and you can draw the route in a while." ”

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was even more satisfied, and at the same time said to Zhu Liang on the side, "Order, let Tan Tong and them all come back!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Liang hurriedly responded.

As for Zhu Di, he had already taken Wang You and walked to the boat.

Guo An stayed below and instructed Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and the others, as well as the group of scribes who were surrounding them: "Wait and count all these silver nuggets as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and the others were immediately overjoyed.

Guo An looked at the group of Yan Shanwei again.

"This time to conquer the Japanese country, you should be the first to take the lead. Rest assured, Your Highness will never be stingy in rewarding you! ”

"Thank you Guo Changshi!"

Lu Xing, Qin Zhou, Gu Dahua and others hurriedly thanked.

"Xie Benguan has done a lot, it is His Royal Highness King Yan who has rewarded you and others, we don't have any money to give to you!"

Guo An chuckled lightly and said, "Wait until you can help and carry these silver nuggets to the big ship." ”

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

A group of Yan Shanwei responded with a brisk face.

While these people were counting and carrying the silver nuggets, Guo An said: "We know that when we find the silver mine, you must be very excited in your hearts.

However, my Yan Wangfu has not yet attacked the Wa Kingdom, and if this matter is spread out, it is very likely that someone will preempt it.

Therefore, this time when you go back, whether it is a scribe or a general, especially Zhu Neng, Qiu Songer and other boys, you must rot this matter in your stomach.

Even if you wait for the middle of the night and sleep with your mother-in-law, you are not allowed to say this! ”

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

A group of people hurriedly responded.

When all the silver nuggets were carried onto the big ship, Zhu Di, Wang You and others also walked out of the cabin.

"Your Highness, there are a total of 136 boxes of silver nuggets brought back this time, including 100 boxes of silver nuggets in good condition, which is 3,500 catties.

There are also thirty-six boxes of silver nuggets, which seem to have only been refined in half, about 1,500 catties! ”

"That's enough, that's enough!"

Zhu Di said, "This time, Guo Qing should be the first credit!" ”

Guo An was directly startled, "Your Highness, Weichen neither fought nor searched, how can He De be the first to take credit?"

The first meritorious person should be Wang Qianhu and other generals! ”

Wang You waved his hand again and again, "Guo Changshi is polite, my brothers and I all know that this matter is your ......."

"That's it!"

Zhu Di interrupted Wang You's words, "Go back this time, let's reward it together!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wang You and Guo An hurriedly bowed.

"Your Highness, Tan Qianhu and they are all back!"

At this time, Zhu Liang came to report.

Zhu Di, Guo An and others looked into the distance, and sure enough, at the foot of the mountain in the distance, a team of soldiers appeared.

Inside the ship.

Tan Tong and the other hundreds of households looked at Zhu Di with surprise on their faces, "Your Highness, the silver mine has been found?" ”

"Self!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Tan Tong stared at him directly, "Your Highness, where is the silver mine, the last general will lead his troops to capture the silver mine, and ensure that the Japanese people will not enter the silver mine within a radius of ten miles!" ”

"I don't know how Tan Qianhu can guarantee it?"

Zhu Di asked directly with a sneer.

Tan Tong suddenly had a smile on his face.

"Humph!"

Zhu Di said, "We have ordered Zhu Liang to inform Chen Jue, Bian Anlie and others to return." When they come back, I'll wait for the teacher to go back! ”

"This is going back?"

Tan Tong, Wang You and others were all shocked.

Zhu Di asked, "Will you refine silver, or can you mine?" Or, just by waiting for these 4,000 generals, you can attack the entire Wa Kingdom? ”

"The last general obeys!"

Tan Tong, Wang You and the others were stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

At this time, a hundred households ran in from outside and reported: "Your Highness, not far from my fleet, there are Japanese ships spying on you!" ”

"What a guts!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly and asked, "How many Japanese ships are there?" ”

"Your Highness, there are only three, and they are all small boats!"

"Three?"

Zhu Di sneered, "This is a scout of the Japanese people, who are here to seek revenge!" ”

"Tan Tong, Wang You, Zhu Liang, Xu Xiang!"

"The last general!"

"Quickly reorganize the armament and war, rob the silver mines of those Japanese people, and make those Japanese people unbearable!"

"The last general obeys!"

Immediately, a group of generals hurriedly walked out.

However, the faces of the crowd were still very relaxed.

This time, the grenades and incendiary grenades they brought from the ship were used in a wasteful way.

However, these Japanese people are really too weak, and even those Koreans can easily capture Japanese towns.

Many times, grenades, incendiary bombs have nowhere to go.

Another hour passed.

On the sea in the distance, more and more Japanese ships gradually appeared.

"Your Highness, the number of ships of the Japanese has reached fifty!"

"Your Highness, sixty ships...... Seventy ships ......"

"Your Highness, the Japanese are ready to attack!"

Seeing that the Japanese were getting closer and closer, and seeing that Zhu Di was still standing at the bow of the ship, Zhu Liang's face was anxious, "Your Highness, this place is dangerous, please go into the cabin and take shelter for a while!" ”

"What to avoid?"

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Liang, "Under such cold, we can all see those Japanese people shivering from the cold, and they can't even hold the oars, how much combat power can they have?" ”

"Order, don't save grenades and incendiary bombs, let these pirates go into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Liang went down to give the order.

Indeed, fighting in the cold winter also has the benefits of the cold winter.

After each of the Ming soldiers wore a pair of hand clothes, foot clothes, and even a hat with their entire head wrapped, they could basically resist most of the cold as long as they walked.

And the Japanese people on the other side not only had their hands frozen straight and red, but they couldn't hold their bows and arrows steadily.

Even many of them did not wear winter clothes, and they could freeze to death on the ship if they were not careful.

Therefore, there is really no combat power.

Thereupon.

Zhu Liang directly gave Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and other boys, a bow and arrow, which made Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others full of joy.

They don't have any discomfort with killing.

Soon, the Japanese ships were already near, and even the voices of the Japanese could be heard.

However, the Japanese did not seem to have any intention of stopping the ship.

Zhu Liang, Wang You and others also noticed this scene.

"The Wokos want to board the ship and blow up their first ship quickly!"

"Whoa!"

"Boom! Rumble......"

Soon, there was an explosion, and the two rows of ships at the front of the Japanese were directly blown apart and half-sunk into the sea.

The Japanese ships in the rear, in the case of inertia, directly collided with the ships in front.

However, without waiting for these pirates to react.

Above their heads, nets appeared.

Immediately, flames erupted from their bodies.

At first, these widows still felt a little warm, but as the thin clothes on their bodies were burned, cold and burning, they couldn't help but cry out miserably, and many of them jumped directly into the sea.

As for those who don't jump, they will have arrows stuck in their bodies.

Or, they were burned alive.

There were less than 2,000 people in this wave, and many of the boats were fishing boats.

In the face of more than 3,000 Yan Shanwei, they were basically a group of live targets that could move left and right, and they were slaughtered by Yan Shanwei one-sidedly.

Less than half an hour.

There was no movement on the entire surface of the sea, except for a group of floating stiff corpses and half-exposed wooden boats.

So.

Wait until after dark.

Bian Anlie, Chen Qi and others finally returned with the army.

At the same time, those Korean soldiers had to hold a pile of property in their hands, and even some Koreans also held some dried fish, grain, and cloth in their hands.

However, after noticing the corpses of the Japanese and the wreckage of the ship on the sea, everyone was shocked.

Bian Anlie, Chen Qi and others hurriedly stepped forward to meet Zhu Di.

"This king has nothing to do, but this time I have found out the truth of the Wa Kingdom, and I will tell those Goryeo generals that everyone will pack up their belongings and return home!"

"The last general obeys!"

There was no objection from the crowd.

At this point, there was no need for them to continue fighting.

That night, the Ming fleet slowly sailed out of the Wako coast and headed northeast.

At some point, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, getting bigger and bigger.

The Ming fleet gradually disappeared into the snow.

It's just that what Zhu Di, Guo An and others didn't know was that on the third day of their departure, a huge Japanese army appeared in the place where they were originally stationed.

Looking at the snow-white, empty coast, the Japanese army was full of anger.
