Chapter 321 Go to Goryeo to install wheels on the big ship
Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping and became the magistrate. Chapter 321 of the text volume went to Goryeo to install wheels on the big ship. Guo Andao said: "Wei Chen will set off tomorrow with Tao Yiping and Yang Ting!"
Zhu Di nodded: "Yes!"
Zhu Liang, Qiu Fu and other veteran generals also hurriedly asked for instructions, "Your Highness, I am willing to lead the troops to protect 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 you give such a big steel object to those people, they don't know how to use it.
What is precious is the entire firearms workshop, the drawings, the secret recipes, and the various firearms and bombs in the workshop.
Therefore, I ask you all veteran generals to stay at the firearms workshop and not leave even half a step!"
Veteran generals who can no longer wear armor dare not lead them to Goryeo.
In this era, it is very dangerous to travel far in a carriage, let alone cross the sea by boat.
Zhu Di, Qiu Fu and other veterans could not help but look at Zhu Di hurriedly.
Zhu Di also shook his head repeatedly, "What Guo Qing said makes sense, you all need to guard the firearms workshop for us.
As for the steam engine after it is installed on the big ship, we will allow you to experience it for yourself!"
"The general will obey the order!"
Zhu Liang and Qiu Fu reluctantly responded.
Guo An said again: "Your Highness, I want to bring 10,000 kilograms of fine steel to Goryeo!"
"Ten thousand catties?"
Zhu Di was surprised again and a little confused.
Guo An explained: "Your Highness, I am worried that the wooden planks on the big ships cannot bear the weight of the steam engines, and the bottom of the big ships needs to be covered with steel!"
"Yes, we will order people to go to the smelting station to haul 10,000 kilograms of steel!"
Zhu Di nodded directly.
Nowadays, there is no shortage of steel in Prince Yan’s Mansion.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
……
Evening.
Guo An and Liu Baiwei have a chat.
Early the next morning, I took the two oxen and headed for Korea.
In recent years, when Guo An traveled far away, he only took Er Niu with him as his personal bodyguard.
As for other guards, they are all handled by Yanshan Guards.
Not only Guo An is used to this kind of thing, Zhu Di and all the Yanshan guards are also used to it!
At Zhangjiawan Pier, there were five large ships waiting for Guo An.
As for the 10,000 kilograms of steel and the huge steam engine, Zhu Di arranged for people to dismantle them overnight and load them onto the big ship last night.
Therefore.
Everyone on the Zhangjiawan Pier only knew that Guo Changshi from Prince Yan's Mansion had taken a thousand Yanshan Guards to the sea to inspect Korea.
……
Half a month later.
The fleet arrived directly at Ganghwa Port.
Sun Yan, Chang Guoting and others stationed at Jianghua Port were all shocked when they saw Guo An getting off the ship and the thousand fully 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 an object on a big ship."
"Let's make arrangements now!"
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 the Yanshan Guard stationed at the shipyard.
However, the firepower in the hands of these five hundred households is comparable to that of Sun Yan's thousand households.
Moreover, that area of water is also equipped with various traps and bombs, and no one or ship is allowed to rush in without permission.
After hearing that Guo An was bringing five large ships to the shipyard.
Qianhu Zhangwu, who was stationed at the shipyard, quickly came with a group of subordinate generals to pay him a visit.
"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.
In the beginning, he guarded Baihu on the right side of Yanshan. When he attacked Kaicheng in Goryeo, he made great achievements and was promoted to Qianhu.
As for Zhang Wu, an 'old man' in the Yanshan Guard, he had special respect for Guo An because he knew him very well.
"I wonder what important matters Guo Changshi came to the shipyard this time?"
"I am bringing 10,000 kilograms of fine steel and a group of craftsmen to load a large ship with something!"
