Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 323 Studying Ming History Books for the Goryeo Nobility
Day two.

Jin Zhong then invited all the powerful caravans or shop stewards in Koryo throughout Yan Kingdom.

He told them that he wanted to invite these Goryeo dignitaries to come to Kaesong to study Ming classics together.

For Jin Zhong, these powerful people in Goryeo still have great trust.

Moreover, the stewards of these Goryeo dignitaries also knew how much their masters longed for and valued Ming's classics.

Immediately, he quickly sent someone to notify.

In less than five days, all the dignitaries in Korea got the news.

Another ten days later.

These Goryeo dignitaries, each with a team of guards, came to Kaesong one after another.

now.

As these Goryeo dignitaries became independent and autonomous from each other, there was no harmony among these Goryeo dignitaries.

Even, for the ownership of a mountain range, or a river, or a field...

There will be a long fight between these Goryeo dignitaries.

For example, Jin Zhong saw that the guards who came with these Korean dignitaries this time all had some new injuries.

In this regard, Jin Zhong and other officials immediately showed shock and anger on their faces after a burst of surprise.

Day two.

Jin Zhong then led the Goryeo dignitaries in the yamen of Zhizhou Prefecture to study the Ming classics.

After hearing that they were all the history books of the major dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, those Goryeo dignitaries were even more surprised.

Many of Ming's classics, even craftsmanship and agricultural books, many of them have read.

However, they rarely see the history books of these major dynasties, let alone study them.

Unexpectedly, this time the Jin Zhizhou led them to study and discuss the history books of so many dynasties.

It's just that these Goryeo nobles haven't studied for a few days, and their faces are already a little bit wrong.

In the land of the Central Plains, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period, there were countless vassal states, large and small, and the number of wars between neighboring countries was very frequent, which is very similar to their current situation in Koryo.

In particular, the state of Jin used Yu to attack Guo, and Duke Xian of Jin wanted to annex the states of Yu and Guo, so he gave Yu state treasures and took advantage of the road of Yu state to conquer Guo state.

Later, he pretended to invite Duke Yu to hunt, and took the opportunity to destroy the State of Yu.

This kind of thing seems to have happened in Korea.

……

Also, Qin State helped Ju State to attack Shu State, but Qin State had long been greedy for the property of these two countries, so after the destruction of Shu State, when Ju State opened the city gate to welcome Qin Bing, Qin Bing suddenly pulled out The sword also destroyed the country of Ju.

……

For another example, when Qin was a martial artist and became strong, other countries were afraid and united to attack Qin.

It's a pity that although these countries are not weak, but because of their respective interests, they can't be single-minded, and they were defeated by Qin State...

These, among the Goryeo dignitaries, seem to have already begun to happen.

The more they study, the more dignified the expressions of these Goryeo dignitaries become. They seem to have imagined the battles between them and the Goryeo dignitaries everywhere in the future.

Couldn't help but keep reading.

However, after seeing Emperor Qin unified the whole country, he was dissatisfied with these countries' rebellion against him, so he escorted all the royal families of these kingdoms to the capital of Qin State, and detained their wives and daughters separately, allowing Emperor Qin to enjoy them.

As for those males, they humiliated each other...

Also, in the end, these people from the six countries took advantage of the weakness of Qin to unite against Qin, but in the end they were taken advantage of by a kid from a farming family who liked to brag...

The expressions of all the dignitaries in Korea have begun to flicker, and they even panicked.

The Yan State of the Ming Dynasty is so similar to the Qin State!

Could it be that Jin Zhong, the prefect of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to use the name of studying the classics of the Ming Dynasty this time to set up a banquet for all of them, so that they could kill all the dignitaries?
However, after spending the night in anxiety, these Goryeo dignitaries fell into the history books of Ming Dynasty again.

Anyway, it was all the last years of the dynasty, and the various princes and kings conquered each other, and in the end, many innocent princes and kings' families met a miserable end.

The hearts of all the dignitaries in Korea became more and more heavy.

Once, they had an excuse for not believing.

However, this is true for all dynasties in these Ming history books!

It seems that only those who have surrendered to the real son who can be unified in the end can get a good end?

……

I have been studying for five days.

The hearts of these Korean dignitaries are getting heavier and heavier.

wait till the end.

Jinzhong entertained these Goryeo dignitaries and told the Goryeo dignitaries sincerely.

He had known for a long time that there was already discord between them, the Goryeo dignitaries, and sooner or later it would be like in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, when various vassal states conquered each other and suffered heavy casualties.

Today, Yan State is powerful and backed by Daming, it will definitely be able to unify the whole country of Koryo in the future.

And some small dignitaries will inevitably be wiped out by other big dignitaries or the Yan army during the conquest.

If there is no preparation in advance, these little dignitaries will end up extremely miserable.

The sooner they submit to Yan, the more benefits they will get, and they can continue to enjoy the aristocratic life, and they will not end up with their families ruined and their lives miserable.

……

Following Jin Zhong's sincere narration, most of these Goryeo dignitaries have already made up their minds.

They all knew themselves and knew that they had no hope of competing for the throne.

I just want to protect their family and property.

But let them submit to the Ming people...

Afterwards, without waiting for these Goryeo dignitaries to say something, Jin Zhong sent them out of Kaesong very politely.

And after these Goryeo dignitaries went back, they had the reference of those historical books and classics, and they could be patient at first.

However, within a few days, due to their respective interests and the resentment of the tribesmen, they couldn't bear something and began to have friction with the neighboring dignitaries.

It was more than ten days later.

The credential of King Wangyou of Goryeo and several secret letters were also sent from Beiping Mansion.

In this regard, Jin Zhong was very happy to send these letters of credence to all the nobles in Korea.

Originally, after those Goryeo dignitaries went back, whenever they recalled the Ming history books they studied in Kaesong, the more they thought about it, the more worried they became, and the more they worried, the more they couldn't stop their wild thoughts. .

Now, their Goryeo king, Wang Xuan, has actually personally written the letter of credence and a secret letter.

Many Goryeo dignitaries began to waver, and began to slowly send people to contact Jin Zhong.

As for Guo An, this club has already brought the five big ships out of the shipyard and headed all the way to Beiping Mansion.

The big ship equipped with a steam engine, emitting black smoke, quickly surpassed the four large ships.

After half an hour.

The Yanshan Guards of the four large ships that fell behind all had their eyes wide open, but they could barely see a small black shadow.

Only a few hundred households with clairvoyance can see more clearly.

However, it soon disappeared.

It was not until Dagukou that these hundreds of households caught up with the big boat waiting for them.

on board.

Tao Yiping, Yang Ting and the others looked at the big boat that was catching up with ecstasy on their faces.

"Master, I waited five days faster than these big ships."

"That's right, this is the magic of crafting techniques, which can create divine power with human beings..."

Guo An was very satisfied with the effect of installing the steam engine on the big ship.

Tao Yiping's eyes flashed and he said: "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely work harder to develop craftsmanship skills after I return!"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Similarly, all the Yanshan guards and hundreds of households on the boat looked overjoyed.

They are the people who often cross the sea to Goryeo and Japan. If this kind of wheels can be installed on all the big ships in the future, they will suffer a lot less!
When the four big boats followed up, Guo An's big boat started to move slowly, and headed for Beiping Mansion along the river.

This time, the steam engine was not used.

A group of officials at Dagukou looked at the big ship going away with bewildered expressions.

"Didn't you say that the big ship of King Yan's Mansion not only emitted black smoke, but also made strange rumbling noises. After leaving the flood, why is it still intact?"

Several soldiers were also bewildered, and a little at a loss.

"Baihu, the villain and others all saw the big ship rushing out of the sea at an extremely fast speed, emitting black smoke.

However, for some reason, after the big ship approached the shore, it stopped emitting black smoke and made no strange noises.

Hey, those Yanshan guards on the boat didn't let me get close! "

"Okay, okay, you can't provoke the big ship of Prince Yan's Mansion. If you see it in the future, as long as they don't yell, just ignore them, even if they have good intentions!"

"Yes, Baihu!"

……

As the ship goes up the canal, you can see a flat and wide cement avenue on the bank of the canal.

On both sides of the avenue, there are also trees planted.

On the avenue, there are also many carriages and passers-by, walking.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Guo An inexplicably felt the tranquility of time.

However, Guo An felt helpless when he thought of the emperor's grandson coming to power in the future, and Zhu Di's ambition burst out again.

I hope that it will not affect Beiping Mansion by then.

As the big ship docked at Zhangjiawan Wharf, Yanshanwei quickly headed for Beiping City.

"Guo Qing is back?"

Hearing the news, Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Can you see the similarities and differences of that big ship?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the last general did not find any similarities and differences between the big ships!"

"After Guo Changshi returns to Beiping City, quickly invite Guo Changshi over!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The soldier quickly retreated.

……

Guo An had just entered the gate of Peiping City in a carriage, and he was still a little dazed, when he was called to Prince Yan's Palace.

"My minister sees Your Highness!"

Zhu Di said with a gentle face: "Guo Qing is exhausted from traveling all the way, thank you for your hard work!"

Guo An was speechless, what an old hooligan, knowing that he had worked hard all the way, but the family refused to let him go back, and called him directly to Yan Palace?

"I don't know why His Highness summoned the minister?"

Zhu Di had long been used to Guo An's temperament, so he said directly: "Guo Qing, can the steam engine be installed on a big ship?"

Guo Andao: "Reporting to Your Highness, the installation has been completed, and the effect is not bad!"

Zhu Di hurriedly asked, "How much faster is the speed of the big ship?"

Guo An replied: "Your Highness, from Jianghua Port in Gaoli to Dagukou, a large ship equipped with a steam engine can travel five days faster than an ordinary large ship!"

"Five days?"

Zhu Di's eyes stared round directly, "Isn't this twice as fast?"

"almost!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Zhu Di couldn't wait any longer, got up and went out: "Go, Guo Qing, let's experience it for ourselves!"

"Your Highness, don't worry!"

Guo An hurriedly stopped Zhu Di and explained, "Your Highness, a big ship with a steam engine needs a lot of coal.

Therefore, if His Highness wants to experience it, he must first send someone to load the big ship with charcoal.

In this way, how can we experience it tomorrow! "
