Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 204 Goryeo Raises Troops, too!
Naturally, Beiping Mansion not only has the garrison of the three guards of Yanshan, but also more than a dozen guards such as Tongzhou Guard, Zunhua Guard, Miyun Guard, Kaiping Guard, Yongning Guard, Daxing Guard...etc.

Although Lanyu Beizheng took away some garrisons, the total strength of the remaining guards was still [-] to [-].

Therefore, even if Zhu Di directly took away the three guards of Yanshan, he was not afraid of Mongolian dignitaries suddenly rushing out from the north to plunder the Beiping Mansion.

And in the past few years, Guo An has always bought grain for Yan Wang Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, and even the two large warehouses at Zhangjiawan Wharf have [-] shi of grain stored.

All kinds of weapons and armaments are ready to be used by [-] troops.

Therefore, following Zhu Di's order.

Yanshan Sanwei, more than 1 soldiers, and the newly recruited three Mongolian thousand households, a total of [-] soldiers, under the leadership of their respective thousand and hundred households, carried food and carried weapons and equipment.

In less than two days, the [-] large ships under Yan Wang's mansion were already fully loaded.

At this moment, the entire Beiping Mansion from top to bottom finally realized that King Yan was going to send troops!
Suddenly, everyone was shocked.

All kinds of letters, like snowflakes, flew south from Beiping Mansion.

at the same time.

Guo An also brought Jin Zhong and 600 taels of silver banknotes, and distributed them to thirty immature-looking scholars.

"20 taels per person, as the salary for this expedition with the army, I don't know how long this time will take. If you don't want to go, you should withdraw as soon as possible, and I will find someone else.

If you take the money, there is no room for repentance! "

A scholar said firmly, "Please rest assured Guo Changshi, students and others are not afraid of death!"

Immediately, he directly took the 20 taels of silver note.

The group of scholars behind them also took the 20 taels of silver bills with firm faces.

"Forehead……"

Guo An cast a helpless glance at the monk Daoyan at the side, and said solemnly: "You are all scholars cultivated by the academy at the expense of money, so don't talk about life and death lightly.

When you arrive in the army, you are only treated as military Chinese officials, and your life will not be in danger. "

Hearing this, these scholars couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, time is urgent, I only give you half a day's work, and come to Yan Wang's mansion tomorrow to find my official."

"Yes!"

Thirty scholars responded, then bowed respectfully to Monk Daoyan, and hurried down.

They wanted to write letters to their families, find acquaintances, and take all the 20 taels of silver back home.

After the scholars left, Guo An bowed slightly to the monk Daoyan who was beside him.

"Master Daoyan's merit is immeasurable, and he has trained so many talented scholars for Beiping Mansion!"

"Amitabha!"

Dao Yan returned a salute expressionlessly.

Guo An smiled slightly, and didn't mind. He had heard about how much effort Master Daoyan had to put in to suppress those scholars after he entered the academy.

Thinking about it, he bowed to Dao Yan again, "Master has great talent in his belly, so the academy will be handed over to Master. I hope Master will teach more talented scholars to serve our Yan Palace!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Dao Yan whose eyelids were twitching, and left.

Taking advantage of this army to go out, he still needs to prepare a lot of things.

……

the next day.

Guo An took the [-] scholars who had been waiting outside Yanwang Palace early, followed Zhu Di, got into the carriage, and headed for Zhangjiawan Wharf in a mighty way.

At the Zhangjiawan Wharf, Yan Shanwei had already taken a big boat and headed for Dagukou along the canal.

When Zhu Di, Guo An and others boarded the ship, the last eight large ships docked at Zhangjiawan Wharf also sailed out of the harbor and went out to sea.

From Zhu Di's order to raise troops to the time the army left Beiping Mansion, it took at most three days.

this will.

The report of King Yan's rebellion had just been sent to the capital by the Jinyiwei, the Commanding Department of the Capital of Beiping, the Chief Political Officer, the Chief History Officer of King Yan, and the Procuratorate.

"This bastard..."

After reading the memorial, Lao Zhu cursed angrily.

Below, Zhu Biao said with a worried face: "Father, the Korean thief country is so shameless, if it is placed on the child, the child will also send troops.

It's just that Lan Yu and other generals have just led my Ming Dynasty's 15 elite army to march north, and the fourth son has just led more than 5000 soldiers and horses to attack Goryeo. Will it be frustrated? "

Old Zhu snorted coldly, "Hmph, then Guo An took Tao Chengdao's youngest son and disciples, and made some kind of firearms and bombs for the fourth brother, which made the fourth brother's confidence soar, thinking that with 5000 troops, he could teach him a lesson. Got that Goryeo king...

Although the royal power of the Koryo royal family has declined, the Koryo king Wang Xuan is ambitious, and there are a few brave generals by his side, the fourth child is bound to be frustrated this time! "

Zhu Biao said: "Father, do you want to order me to send a partial division from the Daming Navy to help the fourth child!"

"No help!"

Old Zhu looked annoyed, "When that kid sent troops, he moved quickly, as if we were afraid that we wouldn't let him send troops. Presumably by now, that bastard fourth son has led troops out of Beiping Mansion and is about to enter the sea.

Even if we order to send out the army now, it will take a few days at the fastest, and by the time the navy finds the bastard of the fourth child, the fight will already be over..."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao frowned, "Fourth son of a bastard, there are so many garrisons in Beiping Mansion, and there are ten or twenty thousand more soldiers and horses, what can father do to him?"

Lao Zhu waved his hand, a little impatient, "Let this bastard suffer a bit, and a long memory is considered good..."

Zhu Biao nodded helplessly, "Listen to Dad!"

As he said that, Lao Zhu thought of something again, and asked: "Biaoer, we heard that some people have started to make trouble again, and want to open the sea?"

Zhu Biao looked serious, and said quickly: "If you go back to your father, there are several families who are arguing endlessly about the matter of the fourth child!"

"Hmph, let's send Jin Yiwei to investigate later, these people are always wicked..."

……

At the time when Daming was arguing because Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was angry and raised troops to attack Goryeo.

In Korea, the big dignitaries are also arguing endlessly.

The king of Koryo, Wang Xuan, received the imperial decree from the Ming emperor, and then heard that there were already Ming soldiers standing guard in Tieling, Liaodong. He prepared to resist the decree, and wanted to launch a northern expedition to Liaodong.

Most of the officials are unwilling to use weapons.

There were even some dignitaries who brought up the matter of King Yan of the Ming Dynasty to argue.

However, the king of Koryo, Wang Yu, had made up his mind to attack Liaodong in the north. He secretly joined forces with Prime Minister Cui Ying, who supported him in raising troops, and killed Li Zisong, a minister who advocated peace.

Therefore, the King of Korea directly sent people to kill 21 Daming officials and detain five of them.

Immediately, more than 8000 generals of the Eight Route Army in the northern part of Koryo were recruited, plus more than 5 handymen, known as [-], sent out from Pyongyang to attack Liaodong.

As for Zhu Di, King of Yan who was far away in Ming Dynasty, Wang Xuan, King of Korea, seemed to have forgotten.

Long ago, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were killed in their Koryo country, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not send troops to attack their Koryo.

Now, just because of 20 taels of silver, Emperor Daming allowed King Yan to send troops to attack Goryeo?
Just thinking about it, the king of Korea, Wang Yu, didn't believe it.

……

Zhu Di and Guo An didn't know about this.

Even the old Zhu and Zhu Biao who were far away in Yingtian, as well as the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, did not know that the Emperor Gaoli dared to kill the officials of the Ming Dynasty again and conscripted troops to attack Liaodong because of a Tieling Guard.

Moreover, it is still in the case of a 15 army in Liaodong.

It's a pity that with Lao Zhu's ban on the sea and the rapid spread of news in this era, Koryo didn't know about Ming's military operations, and Daming didn't know about Koryo's wolfish ambitions.

All the way along the canal and out of Dagukou, more than 50 large ships and more than 5000 soldiers lay down [-]% directly.

Guo An and the [-] college students he led lay down half of them directly.

Zhu Di was completely puzzled by the fact that Guo An directly led the thirty students of the academy, especially the students who could spit seven or eight times a day on the side of the boat.

"Guo Qing, I have enough clerks in Yanshan Weizhong, why do I have to bring so many scholars, waste food, and suffer!"

Guo An supported his pale face, leaning against the ship's side weakly, but he looked confident.

"Your Highness, although these scholars can resist and challenge, they can also keep accounts and write. When it comes to the critical moment, one of them can stand up to ten scribes in the army!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di looked Guo An up and down, and said with a light smile, "If those scholars can have [-]% of Guo Qing's talents, I will be satisfied."

Guo An said slowly: "Your Highness, don't worry about this. They learned knowledge in the academy, and they have practiced in the Chief History Department of Yanwang Mansion, various yamen in Beiping Mansion, Zhangjiawan Wharf, and even various shops and farmland. Although not as good as a humble minister, he is an all-around talent.

If His Highness really beats Goryeo down, these scholars will play a more important role than ten humble ministers. "

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Guo Qing, don't worry, with so many incendiary bombs, grenades, land mines and other bombs prepared by Guo Qing, even if they are blown all the way, they can reach the Koryo capital."

Guo An flattered without losing the opportunity: "If that's the case, then I can add another country to the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Hahaha……"

Zhu Di was overjoyed.

On the boat, hearing Zhu Di's laughter, although they didn't know what happened, the soldiers and scholars suddenly felt much better.

……

Zhu Di's fleet traveled for half a month from the Dagu port to the waters of Jianghua Bay outside the capital of King Goryeo.

Because Goryeo was often robbed by Japanese pirates, the people in the coastal areas of Goryeo were very few.

However, Yan'an County and Jianghua Mansion guarded the Goryeo King's Capital, and there were also Goryeo troops stationed on it, and naturally there were also villages of common people.

Yan'an County, a village near the sea.

As the weather gets warmer, the people along the coast will go to the sea to catch some seafood, leaving a small part to eat for themselves, and most of them will be sold to the nobles in the city in exchange for some daily necessities such as cloth and grain.

As for some children and weak women, they carried a basket made of unknown branches and searched for something under the stones by the sea.

Suddenly, the children and weak women who were searching under the stones found that the young men in the village had just been out to sea for a long time, and all of them rowed back desperately, while yelling at them with horror on their faces.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and under the influence of the waves, they couldn't hear clearly.

However, as huge ships emerged from the sea and sailed towards them, seeing these giant ships, the children and women on the shore stood there in shock.

After a long while, he came back to his senses.

"The pirates are coming!"

"Run away...the pirates are coming..."

Shouting a few times in the surroundings with panic all over their faces, those women and weak women directly picked up the frightened and crying children, and ran quickly into the village.

Then, the people in each village took their valuables at home and ran to the city without looking back.

a mess!
