Chapter 25 Shenyang Changchun Dandong Jinzhou
Li Zhong looked at the crowd and said solemnly, "Have you found our geographical location in Liaodong?" After saying that, he looked at the crowd. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Xu Rong stood up and said, "Lord, Rong has been born in Liaodong since childhood and knows a lot about the situation in Liaodong." Seeing Li Zhong nod, Xu Rong continued to say, "Liaodong is located in the north of Youyan. It is very cold. It is backed by mountains and faces the sea, from Liaoxi to Central Plains in the south, from north to Wuwan, east. Bei Xianbei, and in the southeast, it can be from the Yalu River to Goguryeo." After saying that, Xu Rong looked at Li Zhong and nodded, and then sat down.
Li Zhong looked at the crowd without saying anything and was not angry. He said to Huwei next to him, "Go and get the detailed map of Liaodong." The Huwei soldier answered and turned around and left.
"Lord, here's the map." After a while, the tiger guard took the map and presented it to Li Zhongdao. Li Zhong nodded and said to the tiger guard, " Spread this map on the floor of the hall." The tiger guard nodded, turned around and walked to the hall, spreading the map, which was about 5 square meters, which was very detailed. Li Zhong came down and said to everyone, "Come and take a look at this map first." Lu Su, Ju Shu and others gathered around and looked at this detailed map of villages and towns. Suddenly, Lu Su, Ju Shu and Tian Yu showed a shocked expression, and then began to sweat coldly. They looked at Li Zhong with solemn expressions, which seemed to be worried or self-reproach. Anyway, it was quite rich.
Li Zhong saw the three nodded and saw that no one found anything wrong except the three of them. He still looked at the map with great interest. He was a little disappointed. Just as he wanted to speak, but he saw that Xu Rong, Zhang He, Gongsun Du, Lu Su and other three had similar previous expressions. He suddenly felt happy and secretly said, the famous general Sure enough, it lives up to its reputation. After all, I still found a problem, but now they are still a little young. When they grow up, they may be more powerful than them in the Three Kingdoms.
Seeing that the three people were about to talk, Li Zhong waved his hand at them. About a quarter of an hour later, after seeing that no one found the problem, Li Zhong said to everyone: "Well, listen to me. Now please look at the map. Here is the sea and here are two mountains. I call them Daxing'anling and Xiaoxing'anling. There is also a mountain range to the north of the two mountains. I call it Changbai Mountain. They are like the Great Wall in Liaodong, blocking the northern Hus for Liaodong. If they think of Liaodong, one is to turn south from Juwo to Liaodong, and take this road, there is only one entrance, Wubei County, although this road is better than from Liao The western corridor is 500 miles more, but this can make a mistake. If Gaoguli wants to invade Liaodong, he must enter from Lin County. Let's look at Wuxian. This is the only way to get to the Central Plains. If someone leads troops to block here, "
Li Zhong did not speak any more, but quietly looked at those who had not thought of this problem just now, and found that their foreheads were constantly sweating, and it seemed that they were also scared. At that time, Li Zhong did not pay special attention to the geographical location of Liaodong. He just felt that he would be able to fulfill his dream by burying himself in the black water of this white mountain and waiting for the opportunity. However, when Li Bo took a detailed map drawn by a year to catch the wind and looked at it for about a quarter of an hour, his whole body also began to sweat coldly, because it was related to the life and death of more than 1.6 million people in Liaodong, so Li Zhong sent people overnight to call Ju Shu and others back to discuss.
After everyone's face gradually recovered, Li Zhong nodded and said, "Everyone seems to have figured it out. I won't talk nonsense anymore. I want to build a city 50 miles north of Wuxian County, called Jinzhou. This is my only way from Liaodong to the Central Plains. The importance is self-evident. Lin County is rebuilt, the same scale as Jinzhou. Lin County is renamed Dandong, and Wubei County in the north is renamed Changchun, which is also expanding. Yangping is the capital of Liaodong, but the city is too small. I want to expand it. The expanded Yangping should be able to accommodate 500,000 people, while Yangping will be renamed Shenyang, and wait for them to be built. At that time, it was the time for us to compete for hegemony." Finally, Li Zhong excitedly watched the people say his suggestions and ideals for hegemony. Although he had vaguely said to Lu Su, Ju Shu and others before, it was the first time he showed his ambition to dominate the world in front of everyone.
After Li Zhong finished speaking, he looked at the crowd, Lu Su, Ju Shu, Zhang He and Xu Rong looked indifferent. The rest of the people were first surprised and then overjoyed, because they knew that since Li Zhong had told them his ambitions, they regarded them as their confidants, and once Li Zhong successfully overthrew the Han Dynasty and established a new country, They are well-deserved founders, so how can they not be excited?
Looking at the excited faces of the crowd, Li Zhong smiled and said to the crowd, "Don't be happy too early. At present, the most urgent task is to build these four cities. Now I order that Zhang Xi, you will lead 20,000 troops to station in Wu County, Zhou Cang Fuzhi, Gongsun Du led 5,000 troops to station in Wubei County, and Xu Rong led 5,000 troops to station 5,000. In Zalin County, I will recruit craftsmen in Liaodong and the Central Plains as soon as possible. Gongyu and Mr. Guorang will also recruit craftsmen in Xuantuo County and Dafang County to strive to build these three cities within half a year to protect me in Liaodong. I hope you will live up to my expectations." After listening to this, everyone said to Li Zhong with a solemn face, "Don't worry, we will live up to the Lord. Tuo.
Li Zhong looked at the crowd and nodded and said, "With your help, why don't you worry about the big things?" After laughing, the crowd also laughed with Li Zhong.
In the next five days, Li Zhong ordered Lu Su to recruit nearly 50,000 craftsmen and people in Liaodong County, so he quickly asked Pei Yuanshao to take them to Wu County, and Zhang Xi and others led the troops away on the second day of the meeting, which was also Li Zhong's request.
At the instruction of Li Zhong, Lu Su opened a recruitment hall in Pyongyang, which specializes in recruiting skilled craftsmen and knows how to build a city. In the first three days, few people came. Li Zhong is a little frustrated. On the tenth day, Lu Su came to report that two people had gone to the recruitment hall. And Li Zhong did it without delay for a moment, and arrived at the recruitment hall in less than a cup of tea.
Li Zhong looked at the two people and asked, "I am Li Zhong, the governor of Liaodong, that is, you two came to recruit talents." When the two heard that they were the governor of Liaodong, they quickly nodded. One of them said, "Big, my lord, I, the two of us can help the big man, and make a good city." The man stammardated to Li Zhong. Seeing that he stammed, Li Zhong quickly asked, "Do you dare to ask Mr. Ma Deheng?" The man looked at Li Zhong in surprise and said, "How can you know the name of the little man?" Li Zhong was overjoyed on the spot when he heard that it was Ma Jun: "Mr. Deheng's big name Li Zhong has known for a long time. I don't know if Mr. Deheng can work for you?" Ma Jun was overjoyed. Originally, he came to apply for a job and make a living, but he didn't expect that Lord Taishou still knew him. He immediately knelt down and said, "Ma Jun visited the lord and is willing to serve the lord." Li Zhong said with great joy, "Okay, okay."
Ma Jun saw that Li Zhong was very happy with his arrival, and he was also very excited. Because the people at that time did not pay much attention to craftsmen, they lived a very well. Now Li Zhong can accept him and treat him sincerely. He is very grateful and immediately vowed in his heart that he will I will be loyal to Li Zhong all my life.
After being happy, Li Zhong saw that there was another person next to Ma Jun and asked Ma Jun, "Is this Deheng?" "This is Zheng Hun, a good friend of his subordinate, who is good at inventing long weapons as his subordinates." Li Zhong heard this and said happily again, "But Zheng Wengong?" Ma Jun was shocked again. "Exactly", "Okay, okay," Li Zhong said two good words to express his inner joy.
Zheng Hun (year of birth and death unknown), courtesy name Wen Gong. People from Kaifeng, Henan (now south of Kaifeng, Henan). [ 1] At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei was famous and the great-grandson of Zheng Zhong in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In his early years, Zheng Hun and his nephew Zheng Bao avoided chaos in Huainan, and later transferred to his friend Hua Xin. He was created as a subordinate by Cao Cao, and successively served as Cai Chang and Shao Ling. During his tenure, he helped improve the lives of the local people, so he won the hearts of the people. Later, he became a subordinate of the Prime Minister and moved to Zuo Feng Yi. During his tenure, he killed Liang Xing, which disturbed the county and broke through the mountain turbulent mountain thieves. Later, he moved to the post of Shangdang Taishou and transferred to Jing Zhaoyin. Then he is the prime minister. Cao Pi proclaimed emperor, worshipped Zheng Hun as the imperial historian, and added the emperor's son-in-law lieutenant. He successively served as the governor of Yangping and Pei County, and built water conservancy, which made a bumper harvest all year round. The people were called "Zheng Pi", and later transferred to the governor of Shanyang and Wei County. After hearing about Zheng Hun's deeds, Cao Rui decreed his political achievements to the world. After that, he moved to work as a master craftsman and died a few years later.
Ma Jun, also known as Deheng, was a famous scientist in the Three Kingdoms period. It used to be in the middle of the matter. He has improved the weaving machine and puppets made by his predecessors, and once again invented the lost guide car and the water truck. When he saw Zhuge crossbow, he first praised its "ingenuity". It can be seen that it is very different from the previous crossbow, and secondly, he thought that it could evolve into 50 consecutive arrows. It was hoped that the court would set up a project for him to experiment and promote, but the result was not taken seriously. This provides a very important clue for future generations to develop Zhugelian crossbow.
Li Zhong immediately asked the two to rush to Wuxian County and build Jinzhou first. The two did not refuse, but went to Wu County under the escort of more than 10 tiger guards.
