Chapter 325: Selling the City
While transferring the residents of Haizhou, Zhong Qinghan did not give up the occupation of Haizhou City, and gradually defeated the entire Dongcheng with the East Gate as a stronghold, controlling nearly one-fifth of the territory of the entire Haizhou.
After conquering Dongcheng, under Su Ziheng's suggestion, he did not continue to attack several other urban districts, but was busy transferring the population and collecting supplies.
In these few days, Song Yingjun, the king of swords, and Ji Gou, the king of Kang, did not stop attacking Haizhou City, and finally broke through the south gate and the west gate on the third day.
Although Zhong Qinghan received the information, he did not send troops to pursue the two of them, but revealed the news of their escape to Song Yingjun and Ji Gou, and asked them to send troops to pursue Zhu Youyun and Zhu Yougui.
For Zhong Qinghan, one of the most important things at present is to sell the city.
Haizhou Chengzhong can't eat the light cold, even if she has the heart, she can't hold it, but she doesn't want to cheap Song Yingjun and Ji Gou in vain.
The territory that he has conquered, if the Sword King and King Kang want it, they have to pay or give something to buy it.
"Let's go, Ziheng, let's go to Zhenhai Wangfu together, I heard that Song Yingjun and Ji Gou have both arrived, and they are inviting us to discuss the affairs of Haizhou City." Zhong Qinghan snickered at the corner of his mouth, like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.
"Haha," Su Ziheng laughed loudly: "Finally waited for this day, hurry up to Zhenhai Wangfu to discuss this matter, we also have to go back from Haizhou City as soon as possible, I am almost tired of staying here, and I don't know how Donghai County is now?" ”
……
……
Zhenhai Palace.
"Haha," Song Yingjun, the sword king, let out a hearty laugh: "Brother Su, we meet again." ”
Su Ziheng clasped his fists and smiled: "Hello Sword King, this one next to me is our Donghai County Lord Zhong Qinghan. ”
Song Yingjun showed a look of surprise, and Chong Zhong hugged his fists lightly and said: "It turned out that it was the county lord of Donghai in person, and Song was polite." ”
For Zhong Qinghan, if he said that when he and Su Ziheng first talked about cooperation, he might still have a trace of disdain, but now after the battle of Haizhou City, this disdain has long been forgotten by him.
A female streamer can take one-fifth of Haizhou's territory in one day, if this is not a skill, then he, a big man who conquered Haizhou City in three days, should really wipe his neck and commit suicide.
"The Sword King is fine, I don't know if King Kang has arrived?" Zhong Qinghan asked.
Song Yingjun made a gesture to invite in, and said with a smile: "The two of you, please, King Kang has arrived." It's just that other people's identities are more noble than those of me after all, so naturally they won't come to the gate. ”
Song Yingjun left a thorn in the hearts of Su Ziheng and Zhong Qinghan without a trace.
Su Ziheng laughed and said: "Let's go in first, it's too chaotic outside, it's not very safe, who knows if there are any remnants of the Zhu family." ”
Having said that, without mentioning Ji Gou lightly, he secretly made a decision in his heart that he must be slaughtered for a while.
As he walked, Su Ziheng asked, "What does the Sword King think of this Haizhou City?" ”
Song Yingjun shook his head and said: "Song already has a place to live, although Haizhou is good, it is dispensable for so-and-so." ”
Su Ziheng smiled and said: "The Sword King can be indifferent, but for King Kang, it is different, if he wants to have a little idea about this world, Haizhou City is his place to fight." Why don't you and I work together once? ”
"How to cooperate?"
"Sword King, now two-thirds of the territory of Haizhou City is in the hands of you and me. King Kang occupies only one-third of the land, if he wants this Haizhou City, he can't say a word with white teeth, right? Su Ziheng pointed out.
Song Yingjun nodded and agreed: "This is natural, otherwise Song would not have spent so much effort to knock it down." ”
"Then we might as well join forces and take what we need." Su Ziheng proposed.
"Then I don't know what the county lord of Donghai and Brother Su want? Let's see if you and I will clash? ”
"Sword King, please rest assured, we are not interested in the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, what we want is the population and various mines, as well as the right to trade freely in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, I don't know if there is a conflict with the Sword King?" Su Ziheng said without concealing his purpose.
Song Yingjun pondered for a moment and said: "I don't care about the population, anyway, I don't want Haizhou City, I can't support it if I want so many people." As for the mine, it depends on what kind of mine, if it is a mine such as gold, silver, copper and iron, it is impossible to say that Song will also be involved. ”
Su Ziheng nodded and said: "This is natural, I haven't thought of monopolizing precious minerals like gold, silver, copper and iron, we can develop them together." ”
Several people chatted while walking, and when they arrived outside the main hall of Zhenhai Wangfu, a preliminary agreement on cooperation had been reached.
Entering the hall, I saw Ji Gou holding his hands behind his back, looking at the plaque of the main hall of the palace, with the words "Zhenhai Wangfu" hanging on it.
Su Ziheng raised his voice and said, "His Royal Highness King Kang is well! ”
Ji Gou turned his head at this time, nodded at a few of them and said lightly: "You guys are here, find a place to sit, it just so happens that this king has something to discuss with you." ”
Su Ziheng pouted unconsciously, and sure enough, he was still as arrogant as ever, and never put others in his eyes.
Song Yingjun flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, ignored Ji Gou, and found a place to sit down.
Ji Gou set his eyes on Zhong Qinghan and asked, "Presumably, this must be the county lord of the East China Sea, Her Royal Highness the princess has come from afar, and she has worked hard." ”
Zhong Qinghan smiled and said: "His Royal Highness King Kang is polite, this palace is just that the people of Haizhou can't bear to be oppressed by the old thief of Zhuchao, so they have come to rescue them." ”
Ji Gou's eyes froze, "In this way, Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't have the idea of staying in Haizhou City?" ”
Zhong Qinghan said: "This is natural, after this incident is over, this palace will evacuate Haizhou City with his subordinates." ”
A hint of relief flashed in Ji Gou's eyes, as long as Zhong Qinghan had no idea about Haizhou City, the rest of Song Yingjun would be much easier to deal with. It's nothing more than taking more land for yourself and exchanging it with him.
Thinking of this, Ji Gou put forward the idea of Haizhou City that he wanted, and the sword kings Song Yingjun and Zhong Qinghan said that they could both hand over the territory they occupied to Ji Gou, but he had to pay the ransom.
Over the next few days, a series of negotiations took place around the issue of this ransom, and the following was finally agreed.
Ji Gou divided the territory of Song Yingjun into two counties in one state and two counties adjacent to Song Yingjun, in exchange for the territory of two county towns near Haizhou City, and the two of them reached an offensive and defensive alliance.
For Zhong Qinghan, it was naturally impossible for Ji Gou to let her move the entire Haizhou City, and only relocated more than 30,000 people in the East City. In addition, Zhong Qinghan was divided into an independent wharf for the fleet of Donghai County, and within a radius of five miles from the wharf, Donghai County had all sovereignty.
In addition, Donghai Prefecture is involved in the development of many mines near Haizhou and has the right to trade freely.
