Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 321 Going to Korea to Install Wheels on a Big Ship
Guo Andao: "Weichen will take Tao Yiping and Yang Ting to set off tomorrow!"

Zhu Di nodded: "Yes!"

Zhu Liang, Qiu Fu and other veterans also hurriedly asked for instructions, "Your Highness, the last general is willing to lead his troops to guard Guo Changshi and this steam engine!"

"you?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but look weird.

Guo An hurriedly said: "Steam engines are not precious, even if such a large steel object is given to those people, they don't know how to use it.

What is precious is the entire firearms workshop, the blueprints in the workshop, those secret recipes, and various firearms and bombs.

Therefore, all veteran generals are asked to stay at the firearms workshop and not leave even half a step! "

Veterans who can no longer wear armor dare not take them to Korea.

In this day and age, traveling far away in a carriage is a very dangerous thing, let alone crossing the sea by boat.

Zhu Di, Qiu Fu and other veterans couldn't help looking at Zhu Di hastily.

Zhu Di also shook his head again and again, "Guo Qing's words are reasonable, everyone needs to guard the firearms workshop for us.

As for the steam engine installed on the big ship, we will allow you to experience it for yourself! "

"The end will obey orders!"

Zhu Liang and Qiu Fu responded reluctantly.

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, I have to bring [-] jin of fine steel to Korea!"

"Ten thousand pounds?"

Zhu Di was surprised again, and still a little puzzled.

Guo An explained: "Your Highness, I am worried that the wooden boards on the big ships cannot bear the weight of the steam engine, so we need to lay steel on the bottom of the big ships!"

"But, we will order people to go to the smelter to pull [-] catties of steel!"

Zhu Di nodded directly.

Now, his Yan Palace has no shortage of steel.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

……

night.

Guo An and Liu Baiwei talked.

Early the next morning, I took Er Niu and headed for Korea.

Over the years, when Guo An traveled far away, he only brought Er Niu as his personal guard.

As for the other guards, all of them are in charge of Yan Shanwei.

Not only Guo An is used to this kind of thing, Zhu Di and the rest of the Yanshan guards are also used to it!
At Zhangjiawan Wharf, there were already five large ships waiting for Guo An.

As for the [-] jin of steel and that huge steam engine, Zhu Di arranged for them to dismantle them overnight and load them on the big ship.

therefore.

All the people on the entire Zhangjiawan wharf only knew that Guo Changshi from Yan Wang's mansion took another thousand Yanshan guards and went out to inspect Korea.

……

half a month later.

The fleet arrived directly at Ganghwa Port.

Sun Yan, Chang Guoting and others who were stationed at Jianghua Port were surprised when they saw Guo An getting off the boat and the thousand armed Yanshan guards.

"Guo Changshi, what happened?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"

Guo An smiled lightly, "We have something to go to the shipyard to load a big ship with something."

"The last general will arrange it!"

Sun Yan said quickly.

The shipyard is on the side of Ganghwa Port, and the shipyard is much larger than Ganghwa Port.

There are only five hundred households in Yanshan Guard stationed at the shipyard.

However, the firepower in the hands of these five hundred households was comparable to that of Sun Yan's one thousand households.

Moreover, that piece of water is also covered with various traps and bombs, and no one or ship is allowed to rush in without permission.

After hearing that Guo An was about to enter the shipyard with five large ships.

Qianhu Zhangwu, who was stationed at the shipyard, quickly came to see him with a group of subordinate generals.

"Zhang Wu has met Guo Changshi!"

"Guo An has met Zhang Qianhu!"

Guo An and Zhang Wu have not met several times, but they have heard that this person is a confidant who came from the capital with Zhu Di.

At the beginning, he guarded a hundred households for Yanshanyou, but when he attacked Kaesong in Goryeo, he made great contributions and was promoted to a thousand households.

As for Zhang Wu, the "old man" in Yanshan Guard, because he knew Guo An very well, he respected him very much.

"I wonder what important business Guo Changshi has when he comes to the shipyard this time?"

"I bring [-] jin of fine steel and a group of craftsmen to load a big ship with one thing!"

"Ten thousand catties of refined steel?"

As for what to install, Zhang Wu didn't care, but he was surprised by the [-] jin of fine steel.

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "I still need to trouble Zhang Qianhu to send someone to lead my five big ships into the shipyard!"

"Guo Changshi, please rest assured!"

Zhang Wu looked at a hundred households beside him, "Li Yong, quickly lead the five big ships of Guo Changshi into the shipyard!"

"The end will obey orders!"

A Baihu who was not good looking, but capable from head to toe, responded, and walked to the boat with a few subordinates.

Soon, five large ships moved slowly towards the shipyard.

"Guo Changshi, I'll invite you over here!"

Zhang Wu invited Guo An.

"Zhang Qianhu please!"

Guo An said politely, followed Zhang Wu, went south along Jianghua Port, entered a secret concrete road, and walked about a hundred steps before entering the shipyard.

The shipyard is huge, and eight docks have already been built.

Inside, nearly a thousand Korean craftsmen are busy back and forth.

Zhang Wu took Guo An directly to a pier.

The five big ships had already docked at the pier quietly.

This time, it was Guo An who took Zhang Wu to board a big ship.

"Zhang Qianhu, this item needs to be packed in the cabin of the big ship."

"This……"

Zhang Wu, Sun Yan and others looked at the huge steel object in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Guo Changshi, what is this?"

"The wheels of a great ship!"

Guo An smiled softly, "These steel objects are the wheels of the big ship, which can make the big ship run faster in the sea!"

"Wheels of a big ship?"

Zhang Wu, Sun Yan and others still looked confused.

However, several people did not doubt the authenticity of Guo An's words.

soon.

So they called several shipbuilders, including Ming people and Koreans.

The steam engine was removed from the ship and assembled.

Then, after experimenting with those shipbuilders, the eyes of these shipbuilders suddenly brightened.

They have already thought about the benefits of installing these steam engines on the bottom of the ship to the big ship.

The only worry is that the bottom of the big ship is full of wooden boards. I am afraid that it will not be able to bear the weight of the steam engine after a long time.

However, after hearing that Guo An had brought [-] jin of steel, which could be laid on the bottom of the big ship, these man-made shipbuilders all excitedly said that there was no problem.

Ten thousand catties of steel can be used by them at the bottom of the big ship. They have never experienced such a rich life.

As for Guo An, after explaining to the craftsmen, Tao Yiping, Yang Ting and the others were left behind to inspect the shipyard with Zhang Wu.

In fact, to say it was an inspection was to satisfy Guo An's curiosity.

Even if there is any loophole, Guo An believes that he can't see it himself.

……

And in Kaesong of Yan State in Korea.

Jin Zhong, Sun Ke, Zhang Xing and others also received the report.

"Guo Changshi brought a thousand Yanshan Guards to Jianghua Seaport, is he going to the shipyard?"

"Exactly!"

"Could it be that His Royal Highness King Yan is planning to start the business between Beiping Mansion and Wa Kingdom?"

Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and other civil servants looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

"Probably not, the country of Wa is too far away from Beiping Mansion. Moreover, there are not too many big ships now..."

Zhang Xing said slowly.

However, Jin Zhong and Shang Kezhou had already got up, "Commander Zhang, Commander Sun, I'm going to meet Guo Changshi, so I'll leave Kaesong to the two commanders!"

After speaking, the two of them walked out.

Behind them, Zhang Xing and Sun Ke looked helpless!
These civil servants did not have the stink of those civil servants in the court, who liked to look down on generals.

However, it is too casual!

Sometimes, I even want to take these generals and use them as civil servants!
