Chapter 280 The Benefits of Fighting in Cold Winter

"Your Highness, the last general and the others lived up to their mission and finally found the location of Yinshan!"

When he came to Zhu Di, Wang You reported with a happy face.

At the same time, he directly put the worn-out box that he had been holding tightly in his arms in front of Zhu Di, and slowly opened it.

Guo An, Zhu Liang, Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others all stared and watched curiously.

"This……"

Seeing the dusty but somewhat silvery silver nuggets inside the box, Zhu Di's eyes lit up instantly.

As for Guo An, Zhu Liang and the others, their eyes widened and their faces were full of surprise.

However, Zhu Di occupied the box of silver bullion all by himself, and Zhu Liang and the others could only gather around and watch eagerly.

"Guo Qing..."

Zhu Di raised his head and shouted to the side.

However, just when he raised his head, he saw Guo An squatting in front of him, picking up a silver nugget in one hand, knocking it with a clang, and pinching it with his hands at the same time.

Zhu Di: "..."

"Your Highness, this seems to be really silver."

"Since it's silver!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "It's just that these Japanese people are not skilled, and the silver they refine still contains a lot of impurities.

If my Ming silversmith came to refine it, it would definitely be more silvery. "

With that said, Zhu Di raised his head again and looked at the boxes in the hands of the Yanshan guards behind him.

"Wang Qing, are these silver pieces?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, these wooden boxes are filled with silver nuggets."

Wang You waved quickly, and all Yanshan guards gently placed the boxes in their hands in front of Zhu Di.

Then, open them one by one.

There are hundreds of boxes, all of which are silver pieces of different sizes.

Although it is dusty, it is also shining brightly under the sunlight.

"hiss……"

Guo An couldn't help taking a cold breath.

And Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others were even more miserable, their eyes were about to protrude.

They have grown so big, and have never seen so much silver.

Wang You explained with a smile on his face, "When the general finds the silver mine, there is a silver refining workshop and a silver warehouse not far away.

After slaughtering those Japanese craftsmen, General Mo and others conveniently brought back all the silver nuggets refined by those Japanese people to His Highness! "

"great merit!"

Zhu Di had a happy face, "With so much money, I won't lose money by sending troops this time!"

"Can you remember the location of that silver mine?"

Wang You hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will remember it, and I can draw the route in a while."

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was even more satisfied, and at the same time said to Zhu Liang who was at the side, "Send an order, let Tan Tong and the others come back!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Liang responded quickly.

As for Zhu Di, he had already taken Wang You to the boat.

Guo An stayed below, and told Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and the others, as well as the scribes who surrounded him, "Quickly count all these silver pieces."

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and others were overjoyed immediately.

Guo An looked at the group of Yanshan Guards again.

"This time, you will be the first to conquer the Japanese kingdom. Don't worry, His Highness will never be stingy in rewarding you!"

"Thank you Guo Changshi!"

Lu Xing, Qin Zhou, Gu Dahua and others quickly thanked them.

"What do you want to thank me for? His Royal Highness King Yan rewarded you. We have no money for you!"

Guo An chuckled lightly, and said, "I'll help you later, and move all these silver pieces to the big ship."

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

All the Yanshan guards answered briskly.

While these people were counting and carrying the silver, Guo An said, "We know that you must be very excited when you find the silver mine.

However, my Prince Yan's Mansion has not yet attacked the Wa Kingdom, if this matter is spread, it is very likely that someone will preempt it.

Therefore, when going back this time, whether it is a scribe or a soldier, especially Zhu Neng, Qiu Songer and other boys, they must rot this matter in their stomachs.

Even if you are sleeping with your wife in the middle of the night, you are not allowed to tell this matter! "

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

A group of people responded quickly.

After all the silver pieces were loaded onto the big ship, Zhu Di, Wang You and others also came out of the cabin.

"His Royal Highness, there are 130 six boxes of silver bullion brought back this time, of which [-] boxes of good-quality silver bullion weigh [-] jin.

There are also 36 boxes of silver nuggets, which seem to be only half refined, about [-] catties! "

"Enough, enough!"

Zhu Di said, "This time, Guo Qing will take the lead!"

Guo An was taken aback, "Your Highness, I didn't fight or search, so how could He De be the first to do it?
The first contributors should be Wang Qianhu and other soldiers and generals! "

Wang You waved his hands again and again, "Guo Changshi is too polite, we all know that this matter is about you..."

"okay!"

Zhu Di interrupted Wang You, "This time we go back, let's give a big reward together!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wang You and Guo An hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

"Your Highness, Tan Qianhu and the others are all back!"

At this time, Zhu Liang came to report.

Zhu Di, Guo An and others looked into the distance, and indeed at the foot of the mountain in the distance, groups of soldiers appeared.

Inside the ship.

Tan Tong and a group of hundreds of households looked at Zhu Di with surprise on their faces, "Your Highness, have you found the silver mine?"

"naturally!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Tan Tong stared directly, "Your Highness, where is the silver mine? At the end of the day, I will lead troops to capture the silver mine, and make sure that the Japanese will not enter within a radius of ten miles of the silver mine!"

"I don't know how Tan Qianhu can guarantee it?"

Zhu Di asked directly with a sneer.

Tan Tong immediately smiled.

"Humph!"

Zhu Di said, "We have ordered Zhu Liang to notify Chen Gui, Bian Anlie and others to return. When they come back, I will go back as soon as possible!"

"Go back now?"

Tan Tong, Wang You and others were shocked.

Zhu Di asked: "Can you refine silver, or can you mine mines? Or, with these four thousand generals, you can conquer the entire Japanese kingdom?"

"The end will obey orders!"

Tan Tong, Wang You and the others were stunned for a moment, then they came to their senses.

At this time, a hundred households ran in from the outside and reported: "Your Highness, there are Japanese pirate ships spying not far from my fleet!"

"How dare you!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly and asked, "How many Japanese pirate ships are there?"

"His Royal Highness, there are only three ships, and they are all small boats!"

"Three ships?"

Zhu Di sneered and said, "This is a Japanese scout who came to seek revenge on us!"

"Tan Tong, Wang You, Zhu Liang, Xu Xiang!"

"The end is here!"

"Quickly assemble the army and prepare for war, and rob the silver mines of those Japanese people, so that those Japanese people can't stand it anymore!"

"The end will obey orders!"

Immediately, a group of generals hurried out.

However, everyone's faces were still very relaxed.

This time, although the grenades, incendiary bombs and other battles they brought on board have been wasted, they were used.

However, these Japanese people are really too weak, even those Koreans can easily capture Japanese towns.

In many cases, there is nowhere to use grenades and incendiary bombs.

Another hour passed.

On the sea in the distance, more and more Japanese ships gradually appeared.

"Your Highness, the Japanese ships have reached fifty!"

"Your Highness, sixty ships... seventy ships..."

"Your Highness, the Japanese are ready to attack!"

Seeing the pirates getting closer and seeing Zhu Di still standing on the bow, Zhu Liang became anxious, "Your Highness, this place is dangerous, please take refuge in the cabin for a while!"

"Avoid what?"

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Liang, "In such a cold, we can see those Japanese trembling from the cold, they can't even hold the oars, how much fighting power do they have?"

"Order, don't save grenades and incendiary bombs, let these Japanese pirates enter the sea to feed the fish!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhu Liang went down to deliver the order.

Indeed, fighting in cold winter also has the benefits of cold winter.

Each soldier of the Ming Dynasty wore a pair of hand clothes, foot clothes, and even a hat that covered the entire head. Basically, as long as they walked around, they could resist most of the cold.

On the other hand, the Japanese man's hands turned red from the cold, and he couldn't even hold his bow and arrow steadily.

What's more, many Japanese people didn't wear winter clothes, and they might freeze to death on the boat if they were not careful.

Therefore, there is really no combat power.

then.

Zhu Liang directly gave Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and other boys bows and arrows one by one, which made Zhu Neng, Qiu Song and the others overjoyed.

For killing, they don't have any discomfort.

Soon, the Japanese ships had come close, and the voices of those Japanese could even be heard.

However, those Japanese didn't seem to have any intention of stopping the boat.

Zhu Liang, Wang You and others also noticed this scene.

"The Japanese pirates want to board the ship, quickly blow up their first ship!"

"Here!"

"Boom! Boom..."

Soon, with the sound of explosions, the two rows of ships in the front of the Japanese pirates were directly blown apart and half-sinked into the sea.

The Japanese pirate ships in the rear, under inertia, directly collided with the ships in front.

However, before these Japanese pirates reacted.

Fishnets appeared above their heads.

Immediately, flames burst from their bodies again.

At the beginning, these Japanese pirates still felt a little warm, but as the thin clothes on their bodies were burned, they were cold and hot, and they couldn't help screaming miserably, and many Japanese people jumped into the sea directly.

As for those who don't jump, they will have arrows stuck in their bodies.

Or, directly burned alive.

This wave of Japanese pirates did not even have 2000 people, and many ships were fishing boats.

Facing the three thousand Yanshan Guards, they were basically a group of living targets who could move left and right, and were massacred by the Yanshan Guards one-sidedly.

Less than half an hour.

On the entire sea, apart from a group of floating dead corpses and a half-exposed wooden boat, there was no movement.

in this way.

Wait until after dark.

Bian Anlie, Chen Gui and others finally returned with the army.

At the same time, those Korean soldiers had to carry more or less a pile of property in their hands, and some Koreans even held some dried fish, food, and cloth in their hands.

However, everyone was shocked after noticing the Japanese corpses and shipwrecks on the sea.

Bian Anlie, Chen Gui and others hurried forward to meet Zhu Di.

"My lord is fine, but this time, we have found out the reality of the Wa kingdom. Please tell the Korean generals that everyone pack up their belongings and head back to the voyage!"

"The end will obey orders!"

There was no objection from the crowd.

At this point, there was no need for them to continue fighting.

It was night, and the Deming fleet slowly sailed out of the coast of the Japanese pirates, heading northeast.

At some point, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, getting bigger and bigger.

The Deming Fleet gradually disappeared in the heavy snow.

However, what Zhu Di, Guo An and others didn't know was that on the third day after they left, a huge Japanese army appeared in the place where they were originally stationed.

Looking at the white and deserted coast, the Japanese army was full of anger.
