Ming Dynasty: Huddle up in Beiping and be the magistrate of the county Chapter 262: That Guo Changshi is so majesticLatest website:The next day.
All the officials and generals stationed in Kaicheng of Prince Yan's Mansion gathered at the palace.
Wen Youjin Zhong, Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting, Yan Xiangwu and others, the generals are Chen Shou, the general, and Qianhu Xu Xiang, Sun Yan, Tan Yuan, Wu Youquan...
More than a dozen people were sitting below, more than the number of people Zhu Di held at the Yan Palace in Peking.
However, everyone looked solemn at this moment.
Yesterday, when Guo An got off the ship, he scolded Xu Xiang, Sun Yan and other generals at Jianghua Port, and they all knew about it.
What surprised them was that the anger in Guo Changshi's heart did not seem to have subsided until today.
"Yesterday, after hearing that you all allowed the Japanese pirates to invade Jianghua Port again and again, I was so angry that I couldn't control myself.
I’m really saddened by your stupid behavior.
At the beginning, I suggested that Your Highness capture Kaesong and Ganghwa Port, but there was no plan to expand the territory or save the Korean people."
"I just feel that as military generals, you are stuck in Beiping Mansion all day long. You may not be able to go out to kill the enemy and perform meritorious service every one or two years, so you will not make money, which is a waste of your strength.
Therefore, I suggest that His Highness do business with the Goryeo nobles!"
"However, I never expected that in less than a year, you all seem to really regard those Koreans as your own family.
He even felt that the Korean soldiers were weak, so he turned into a patron saint and used his brothers' orders to protect the Koreans!"
"Heh..."
"We can't tell whether you are from Ming Dynasty or Korea!..."
The entire hall was filled with Guo An's extremely sarcastic voice, which made Chen Shou, Xu Xiang and others blush red with shame again.
Especially Chen Shou, in terms of official rank, as a commanding officer, he is the fourth rank, which is one rank higher than Guo An, the right chief historian of the Yan Palace.
However, it seems that Guo An’s reprimand was taken for granted.
Chen Shoudu was like this, and thousands of households such as Xu Xiang and Sun Yan even lowered their heads and endured it silently.
Finally, after a long while, as the cup of tea next to Guo An's hand bottomed out, Guo An's words gradually became calmer.
"You are all generals of more than a thousand households in our Yan Palace, and you are responsible for the safety of thousands of soldiers.
Therefore, I hope you will understand that the tens of thousands of soldiers and officials in Prince Yan's palace risked their lives to cross the ocean and come to Goryeo to trade. They came to make money, not to protect the Goryeo people.
Don't feel any pity for the Koreans, they don't deserve it!
Moreover, the Korean people will not recognize you because of your compassion!
Otherwise, His Highness would not have chopped up those people in public..."
"Unless one day, among the millions of people in Goryeo, 500,000 or even 200,000 people bear your surnames and sincerely believe that they are Ming people, they will be worthy of me.
Soldiers from Prince Yan's Mansion, go and protect them!
The lives of our soldiers from the Ming Dynasty are much more valuable than the lives of those Koreans. We must not lose any of our soldiers from the Ming Dynasty because of some Koreans.
Whether you are a military commander or a civil servant, you must keep these words in mind..."
At this moment, in the eyes of Chen Shou, Jin Zhong and others, Guo An no longer looked like a sage, but looked more like the ruthless gentry and merchants they had seen.
However, this kind of skinning made them unable to feel the slightest disgust, and they even had some sense of intimacy.
Chen Shou, Jin Zhong and others nodded in response.
"Don't worry, Guo Changshi, we will never make such a big mistake again."
"Please rest assured, Guo Changshi, I will definitely keep these words in mind..."
"Hmm!"
Guo An didn't care whether these officials and generals really listened, so he asked again: "You have been in Kaicheng for several months, have you noticed how long the property of the Goryeo nobles can last?"
Shang Kezhou quickly replied: "Back to Guo Changshi, although those Goryeo nobles have shouted away, they don't seem to be in any hurry."
Guo An narrowed his eyes slightly, "In this case, can it last at least half a year?"
Shang Ke Zhoudao: "It may be more than that."
Guo An nodded slightly, "They still have great uses, there is no need to squeeze them dry."
Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting and others couldn't help but wonder, "Da Yong?"
Guo An said: "After half a year, when the Koryo harvest is finished, we can try to let these Koryo people attack the Japanese pirates."
Chen Shou and other generals looked happy, then thought of something, and subconsciously looked disdainful.
"Guo Changshi, when these Koreans see Japanese pirates, they are like mice seeing cats. They wish they had more legs!
Let them attack the Japanese pirates, and I'm afraid they won't even have the courage to pick up swords and guns to confront the Japanese pirates."
Guo An looked indifferent, "It doesn't matter, let's give it a try first. Anyway, after the autumn harvest, the young people of Goryeo won't have to farm.
When they arrived on the Japanese pirate island, they had no way to retreat. Either they died or the Japanese pirates died...
In addition, Prince Yan’s Mansion also sent some soldiers to explore the true identity of the Japanese pirates!"
"Okay!"
Chen Shou, Xu Xiang and other generals all nodded slightly.
"I dare to ask Guo Changshi, what can I do if I am a subordinate?"
Guo An glanced at some Jin Zhong, Chang Guoting and others, and said quietly: "Express the nobles of Goryeo, and squeeze the common people of Goryeo."
"Yes!"
"Don't think wrongly, I want you to exploit the Korean people outside Kaesong, Ganghwa Island, and Yan'an County.
Let them know that places like Kaesong, Ganghwa Island, and Yan'an County are no longer the territory of Goryeo, but the territory of the Yan Kingdom.
