Chapter 401 Location of the Control Zone
"Uncle Songhuang, Uncle Songhuang, what did the little monk tell you?"
After staying in the Buddha Temple for a full hour, as soon as he walked out of the mountain gate of the Buddha Temple, Zhu Mengcan was like a curious baby, surrounding Zhu Song and kept asking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"You kid, where do you get so much curiosity?" Zhu Song glared at him angrily and said, "I can't tell you about this matter yet, I'll tell you when the matter is decided." ”
"What, Uncle Songhuang, why are you so stingy?" Zhu Mengcan muttered dissatisfiedly.
"What are you muttering about?" Zhu Song glanced at the kid and said, "Hurry up, when you return to Seoul, this king will go to the palace." ”
"Yes." Zhu Mengcan responded, a little listless
。
In the evening, Zhu Song and the others had just returned to the gate of the pavilion that belonged to them in Seoul, and Huang San brought a man dressed in light armor with a wind on his face. And the dusty postman came up to meet him.
"Lord Wang, this is a post man from the Ming Dynasty, and there is a holy decree." Huang Sandao.
"Oh, that's pretty fast!" Zhu Song replied and looked at the guard: "What about the holy decree of the four emperor brothers?" ”
"Lord Wang, the holy decree of the Lord of Long Live was given to the king of Joseon, Li Fangyuan." The postman replied: "But when the little one left the palace, the Lord Banzai personally issued an edict: Zhu Song, the king of Han, discussed with the king of Korea, Li Fangyuan, the 'control area', the 'embassy' and other matters, and he was also fully responsible, and he could act cheaply. ”
"Sure enough, agreed?" Zhu Song grinned lightly, "Just as I was about to enter the palace, you sent someone to our camp outside the city, and the generals Shihong and Shiqi called the pavilion, and it was time to talk about some things." ”
……
The next day, Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul, Heungwonjeong Lotus Pond.
King Li Fangyuan sat quietly outside the hut by the lotus pond, waiting beside him, in addition to the two delicate little maids, there was also his hair boy and friend Song Joong Ki.
Since Song Joong Ki led a large army across the entire Korean kingdom and followed Zhu Song to successfully rescue Lee Fang Yuan, Song Joong Ki has become Li Fang Won's henchman.
"Joong-ki, what's going on in the country?" Li Fangyuan moved a teacup in his hand and said, "Han Dongdao's subordinates still have Yi Jian Dao, has it been exterminated?" ”
Song Joong Ki sat opposite Li Fangyuan, and he said: "Your Majesty, after you were imprisoned by Han Dongdao, our entire Korean Kingdom, in addition to Han Dongdao's opposition party and Weichen's royalist faction, there are also many other forces popping up in various places. ”
When he said this, Song Joong Ki's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and said: "Like Han Ke from Gangwon Province, Lee Seungjong from Jeolla Province and others, these people don't want to belong to Han Dong Province and don't want to participate in the rebel army, so they themselves have their own faction and they have swept the snow in front of their own doors." ”
"Lone knows this." Li Fangyuan nodded and said, "However, after Han Dongdao, the leader of the traitorous party and bandits, didn't Li Chengzong and Han Ke already rejoin?" ”
"It's reattached, but it's also a violation of yang and yin." Song Joong Ki's face was very dark, "At the beginning, the Ming army and the royalist faction were very strong, and when we rushed all the way to Seoul, these guys were worried about being wiped out, so they naturally agreed to join us. But after Han Dongdao's party was chased by the whole country, these guys jumped out again, and they also secretly helped the remnants of Han Dongdao's party. ”
"Those who can be appeased should be appeased as much as possible, and in the current situation, our North Korea can no longer withstand the toss." Li Fangyuan didn't expect these guys to be so bold.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, Weichen can save it." Song Joong Ki nodded solemnly.
At this time, the guards of the palace came to report: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Han of the Ming Dynasty, General Zhu Neng, Lord Yang Shiqi, and Lord Zhang Fu ask to see you." ”
"I waited for them in the palace for a night, but I didn't expect to come here today."
Hearing the soldier's words, Li Fangyuan suddenly laughed and said, "But it's also a matter of mutual benefit, go and invite them here." ”
"Yes!" The palace guard answered, turned and left.
Song Joong Ki was very curious about Li Fangyuan's words before, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what did you mean by waiting for them for one night?" ”
"Daming wants to choose a low point in our Seoul to build an 'embassy'...... Forget it, I can't say anything about this matter for a while. Li Fangyuan waved his hand and said, "That's it, since the King of Daming Han is here, you can understand it after listening to it for a while." ”
……
Five days have passed since Zhu Song and the others went to meet Li Fangyuan in the palace.
During these five days, Zhu Song and the others took people with them every day and wandered around the entire Seoul.
Seoul covers an area of more than 600 square kilometers, which is only 5 or 6 percent of the total area of the Korean Kingdom, but it is still necessary to carefully choose a place to demarcate as a "control zone" and establish an embassy.
Originally, the day after leaving the palace, Zhu Song randomly demarcated a boundary on the map of Seoul and wanted to use it as a 'control area'.
However, Yang Shiqi and the others all expressed strong protest against Zhu Song's casual approach, and said that this Seoul has been replanned several times in recent years, and it is better to take a good walk and turn around in Seoul than to look at the map drawn many years ago.
Therefore, Zhu Song could only eat the consequences of his own evil, and was pestered by Zhu Youjiao and a few of their little guys all day long, going around Hanyang City.
On the sixth day, Zhu Song pretended to be sick in bed and finally escaped.
Sleeping comfortably in the pavilion, when Zhu Song got up from the bed, the hour had already passed seven quarters.
When I got dressed and came outside, there was no sun above the sky, and the weather was a little gloomy.
After a little exercise outside the house, it was past noon, when a large dark cloud suddenly drifted from the sky.
"This weather is really the best place to sleep, who has the ghost mind to go to Seoul and wander around the city!"
Zhu Song, who shook his arms and legs, sat on the rocking chair placed under the eaves.
Next to the rocking chair is a small table, on which the maid puts a few delicate side dishes, a few dried shrimp and seashells, and a small charcoal stove, and on the charcoal stove, there is also a pot of North Korean specialty soju.
It was Zhang Fu who sat quietly beside Zhu Song and accompanied the wine, and the other four little guys were accompanied by Zhu Neng and Yang Shiqi to Seoul, and only Zhang Fu was left behind to take care of Zhu Song.
Grunt!
Wiping the sweat from the exercise, Zhu Song sat directly on the chair and drank a sip of hot soju, which went straight to his heart and lungs.
"Whew, it's so refreshing to have a drink after exercise!" Zhu Song exhaled a mouthful of wine comfortably, looked at Zhang Fu with a smile and said, "Wen Bi, should you thank this king?" If it weren't for the king's forced retention, you would still be in the city with weak legs. ”
Zhang Fu first poured a full wine for Zhu Song, and then said with a wry smile: "Lord, Seoul is such a big boundary, and several royal palaces of the county are in the city every day, why don't you care about them?" ”
"Tube? How? Zhu Song pursed his lips and said, "If it weren't for the king pretending to be sick today, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see the king at this time." ”
Zhang Fu shook his head helplessly and said, "The place you chose before was actually good, but several His Royal Highnesses were a little demanding. ”
"Brother Wen Bi, it's not good to have the arranger behind you!" At this time, Zhu Youyou and the others walked back from outside, and when they heard what Zhang Fufang said, Zhu Mengcan couldn't help but nag: "Uncle Songhuang, you are really enough!" It's just a walk around the city, are you pretending to be sick? ”
Zhu Yuexian also echoed along: "Uncle Songhuang, the nephews are half dead in the middle of the floor, but you are drinking soju and eating side dishes outside the house, but you will enjoy it?" ”
snatched the wine glass in front of Zhang Fu, poured a big sip of wine by himself, and Zhu Mengcan shouted: "Comfortable, this kind of weather is really the most suitable for drinking!" ”
"You really have the face to say, aren't you choosing a site for the 'control zone', why do you have the leisure to come to me?"
Zhu Song looked at Zhu Mengcan, who had a comfortable expression, and continued: "How is it? Have you ever found a suitable place to set up a 'control zone' and build an 'embassy' today? ”
"I still haven't found it!" Zhu Mengcan picked up a chicken leg and took a bite, and continued: "Uncle Songhuang, don't look at Seoul as very small, but in fact, there are many boundaries that we can use. But the question is, where should we choose? Where best meets our requirements. ”
"Hahaha......"
Zhu Song laughed a few times and said, "This king said before that the place chosen at the beginning is the most suitable place, but you little guys actually picked up Shihong and Shiqi and joined forces to make a sau. It's not good to disturb the king, it's not good to change the land boundary, now you know it's not a good choice, right? ”
"Hey, it wouldn't have been so troublesome if I had known!" Zhu Youyi shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't fix those troubles!" ”
"Oh?" Zhu Song took a slow sip of wine and said, "Figured it out?" ”
Zhu Youyi didn't speak, but took out a picture scroll from Zhu Guiqi's hand, who had never spoken.
Two maids were summoned from the house, and Zhu Youzhi asked them to unfold the scroll, and it was spread out to be a full foot long and two feet wide.
Zhu Song glanced forward, and it turned out to be a panorama of Seoul, and looking at the ink stains on it, it seemed that it had just been painted.
"This is Seoul?" Zhu Song asked knowingly, "The new painting is not long?" ”
"Uncle Songhuang, you think that your nephew just walks around casually every day, but there are painters who walk with us." Zhu Youjiao had a smug look on his face, "If you turn around so many places every day, the painter can sketch them out on the same day." ”
When he said this, Zhu Youyi picked up an unused chopstick from the table, pointed to the map, and said, "Uncle Songhuang, look at these places, all of them are the boundaries that we were optimistic about before. ”
"Oh!" Zhu Song followed the chopsticks in Zhu Youyi's hand, thought about the map, and looked over on the map, and found that on this map, there were seven or eight boundaries with red circles, the most conspicuous of which was naturally the boundary that was thrown in the corner, and Zhu Song was the first to delineate it.
Carefully looking at the seven or eight land boundaries, Zhu Song suddenly pointed to a red circle in the middle of Seoul and asked, "Where is this?" ”
"This is Zhongcheng District, that is, the area north of the Han River in Seoul, which automatically surrounds the south of the city to the west, and the small chopsticks in Zhu Youyi's hand pointed at that place, and said: "And it is more convenient that this place is close to the Han River, and we can build a small port here." ”
"It's not bad here, but it's a little smaller." After looking at it for a long time, Zhu Song's eyes became more and more shining, "How do you see here?" ”
"Hehe, it's worthy of Uncle Songhuang!" Zhu Guiqi finally spoke, and he laughed: "It is said that the heroes see the same thing, Uncle Songhuang, and the nephew also looks at this piece well." Even if there is a brother, they don't agree to choose here. ”
"Of course not!" Zhu Mengcan said without hesitation: "The geographical location of this broken place is good, but the area is too small, right?" However, the area of five or six square kilometers, and the other boundaries are more than ten kilometers. ”
"How much of a 'control zone' do you want?" Zhu Song looked at Zhu Mengcan a little speechlessly, and said, "Our control army is only 5,000 people, and it is too big to live." ”
"Uncle Songhuang, what you see is only the current situation!" Zhu Yuexian said: "According to the influence of our Ming Dynasty on the Korean Kingdom, our Ming Dynasty's 'control area' is very likely to become the most prosperous place in Seoul. ”
"Yes, you're right!" Zhu Song's eyes lit up, "Then you should choose this place even more!" The big deal was that Li Fangyuan ordered to take Zhongcheng District as the center and extend five kilometers outward, so that all the people there could move out. ”
"But, will Li Fangyuan agree?" Zhu Guiqi hesitated: "The boundary four kilometers south of there is a prosperous urban area, Li Fangyuan should not agree." ”
"He'll agree." Zhu Song grinned, and then said half-jokingly: "It's a big deal, when the 'control zone' is built, we don't ask them for silver from the Korean Kingdom, let's be Ming, some are silver!" ”
……
Just as Zhu Song said, Li Fangyuan agreed to the location of Zhu Song's 'control zone', but put forward his own requirements for Zhu Song's proposal to extend the Zhongcheng District.
At the cost of three artillery pieces, three new artillery pieces brought by Zhu Song to Seoul!
If this matter is left in Zhu Song's previous life, it will be a profitable business; But right now, because the new artillery is the only firearm of the Ming Dynasty, the three artillery pieces have been replaced with a 'control area' of five square kilometers, which is really worth it!
If the artillery had been given to the Kingdom of Korea, who knows what these guys would have done!
When Zhu Song presented Li Fangyuan's request to Zhu Di, Zhu Di waved his hand and agreed directly, but this emperor was rarely insidious, and he only gave Li Fangyuan sixty shells, that is, only twenty shells were allocated to one artillery.
After waiting for three days at the pavilion, the decree was issued again, and the destruction and reconstruction of the Midtown District was finally put on the agenda on the fifth day.
