Li Bai looked at the crowd and said solemnly,"Have you discovered the geographical location of Liaodong?"”After saying that, he looked at everyone.
Everyone looked at each other. Finally, Xu Rong stood up and said," My lord, Rong was born in Liaodong and knows the situation there quite well." Seeing Li Bai nod, Xu Rong continued,""Liaodong is located to the north of You Yan, and it is extremely cold. It has a mountain on its back and faces the sea. From the south, you can reach the Central Plains from Liaoxi, from the north, you can reach Wuwan, from the east, you can reach Xianbei, and from the southeast, you can reach Goguryeo from Yalu River.”，Xu Rong nodded at Li Bai and sat down.
Li Bai looked at the crowd and didn't say anything. He wasn't angry either. He said to the Tiger Guard beside him,"" Go get a detailed map of Liaodong," the Tiger Guard soldier replied and turned to leave.
" My lord, the map is here." The Tiger Guard brought the map over and presented it to Li Bai.
Li Bai nodded and said to the Tiger Guard,"" Spread this map on the floor of the hall." The Tiger Guard nodded and turned around to walk to the hall. He spread out the map. It was about 5 square meters and was very detailed.
Li Bai walked down and said to everyone," Everyone, come over and take a look at this map." Lu Su, Ju Shou, and the others came over and looked at this map that detailed the villages and towns.
Suddenly, Lu Su, Qiushou, and Tian Yu revealed shocked expressions. Then, they began to break out in cold sweat. They all looked at Li Bai with solemn expressions. Their expressions seemed to be worried or self-reproach. In any case, they were quite rich.
Li Bai was a bit disappointed when he saw the three of them nodding their heads. Seeing that no one else had found any problem with the map except him, Li Bai was a bit disappointed. He was about to speak when he saw Xu Rong, Zhang He, and Gongsun Du, who had similar expressions as Lu Su and the other three. He was delighted and thought to himself," The famous generals really live up to their reputation. They have found some problems after all. However, they are still a bit young now. When they grow up, they will be able to find some problems." Perhaps he was even more powerful than them in the Three Kingdoms.
Seeing that the three of them were about to speak, Li Bai waved his hand at them. After about fifteen minutes, Li Bai saw that no one else had discovered the problem and said to everyone,"Alright, everyone listen to me. Now, please look at the map. This side is the sea, and this side is two mountain ranges. I call them the Greater Xing 'an Mountains and the Lesser Xing' an Mountains. There is another mountain range to the north of the two mountain ranges, which I call the Changbai Mountains. They are like the Great Wall of Liaodong, blocking the Hu Krupp in the north for Liaodong. If they want to go to Liaodong, they can either turn south from the Changbai Mountains, from Juwo to Liaodong. There is only one entrance on this road.
"Wubei County. Although this road is 500 li longer than the Liaoxi Corridor, we can still defeat the Liaodong Prefecture by mistake. If the Goguryeons want to invade Liaodong, they will have to enter through Lin County. Everyone, keep an eye out for Wu County. This is our only way to the Central Plains. If someone leads an army to block our way here…"
Li Bai didn't say anything else, but quietly looked at those people who hadn't thought of this question just now. He found that their foreheads were constantly sweating. It seemed that they were also frightened.
At that time, Li Bai didn't pay much attention to the geographical location of Liaodong. He just felt that if he buried his head in the white mountains and black waters and waited for the right time, he would definitely be able to fulfill his dream.
However, when Li Bo took a detailed map that took a year to draw and looked at it for about fifteen minutes, his entire body began to break out in cold sweat. Because this concerned the life and death of more than 1.6 million people in Liaodong, Li Bai sent someone to call Ju Shou and the others back to discuss it overnight.
After everyone's expressions gradually recovered, Li Bai nodded and said,""It seems that everyone has thought it through, so I won't waste any more time. I want to build a city 50 miles north of Wu County, named Jinzhou. This is the only road from Liaodong to the Central Plains, so its importance is self-evident. Lin County will be rebuilt, and its scale will be the same as Jinzhou. Lin County will be renamed Dandong, and Wubei County in the north will be renamed Changchun. It will also be expanded. Rang Ping is the capital of Liaodong, but the city is too small. I want to expand it. The expanded Rang Ping must be able to accommodate 500,000 people."Rang Ping will be renamed as Shen Yang. When they are built, it will be the time for us to conquer the world."
Li Bai looked at the crowd excitedly and spoke of his suggestion and his dream of conquering the world. Although he had vaguely told Lu Su, Ju Shou, and the others before, this was the first time he revealed his ambition to conquer the world in front of everyone.
After Li Bai finished speaking, he looked at the crowd. Lu Su, Qiushou, Zhang He, and Xu Rong had indifferent expressions, while the others were first surprised before they were overjoyed. This was because they knew that since Li Bai had told them his ambitions, it meant that he treated them as his trusted aides. Once Li Bai successfully overthrew the Darkhan Dynasty and established a new country, they would be the well-deserved founding fathers of the country, so how could they not be excited?
Seeing the excitement on everyone's faces, Li Bai smiled and said to everyone,""Don't be too happy yet. The most important thing now is to build these four cities. Now, I order Zhang He to lead 20,000 troops to stay in Wu County, Zhou Cang to assist him, Gongsun Du to lead 5000 troops to stay in Wubei County, and Xu Rong to lead 5000 troops to stay in Lin County. I will recruit craftsmen from Liaodong and the Central Plains as soon as possible. Mr. Gongyu and Guorang will also recruit craftsmen from Xuantu Prefecture and Daifang Prefecture to build these three cities in half a year to protect Liaodong. I hope you will not disappoint me."
After hearing this, everyone said to Li Bai solemnly," Don't worry, my lord. We won't let you down."
Li Bai looked at the crowd and nodded." With everyone's help, there's no need to worry about not being able to accomplish anything." After saying that, he laughed loudly. Everyone laughed along with Li Bai.
In the next five days, Li Bai ordered Lu Su to recruit nearly 50,000 craftsmen and people in Liaodong County. He quickly asked Pei Yuanshao to send 1,000 soldiers to bring them to Wu County. Zhang He and others left with their troops on the second day of the meeting, which was also requested by Li Bai.
Lu Su, on the other hand, opened a recruitment hall in Rang Ping City under Li Bai's instructions. It was specially designed to recruit skilled craftsmen who knew how to build a city. In the first three days, almost no one came.
Li Bai was a little discouraged. On the tenth day, Lu Su reported that two people had gone to the Recruitment Hall. Li Bai didn't waste any time and immediately went over. In less than a cup of tea's time, he arrived at the recruitment hall.
Li Bai looked at the two of them and asked,"I'm Li Bai, the Governor of Liaodong. It's you two who came to the Recruitment Hall to recruit me." When the two of them heard that it was the Governor of Liaodong, they quickly nodded." M-Sir, we can help you build a city," the man stammered to Li Bai.
Seeing him stutter, Li Bai quickly asked,""May I ask if you are Ma Jun and Ma Deheng?”
The man looked at Li Bai in surprise and said,"How, how do you know my name?"
When Li Bai heard that it was Ma Jun, he was overjoyed and said,""Li Bai has long known of Mr. De Heng's name. I wonder if Mr. De Heng can work for me?”
Ma Jun was overjoyed. He had originally come to apply for a job and earn a living, but he did not expect the prefect to actually recognize him. He immediately knelt down and said,"Ma Jun greets my lord, willing to serve my lord."
Li Bai was overjoyed.
Ma Jun saw that Li Bai was very happy about his arrival, and he was very excited. At that time, people did not pay much attention to craftsmen, so they did not live well. Now that Li Bai could accept him and treat him sincerely, he was very grateful. He immediately swore to be loyal to Li Bai for the rest of his life.
After his joy, Li Bai saw that there was another person beside Ma Jun. He asked Ma Jun,""What is Deheng doing?"
"This, this is my good friend, Zheng Hun. Like me, he is good at long weapon inventions."
Li Bai was delighted when he heard that.”Ma Jun was shocked again,"That's right!"
" Good, good!" Li Bai said two words to express his joy.
Zheng Hun (birth and death years unknown), the word Wen Gong. Kaifeng, Henan (now south of Kaifeng, Henan). [1]At the end of the Han Dynasty and during the Three Kingdoms, Cao Wei's name was Shou. He was the great-grandson of Zheng Zhong, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In his early years, Zheng Hun and his nephew Zheng Wei fled to Huainan and later turned to his good friend Hua Xin. He was recruited by Cao Cao as an assistant, successively serving as the head of Cai and Shao Ling. During his term of office, he helped to improve the lives of the local people, so he was very popular.
Later, he became the prime minister's subordinate and moved to Zuo Fengyi. He killed Liang Xing, who disturbed the county, and defeated the rebellious mountain bandits. Later, he was transferred to Shangdang Prefecture and transferred to Jingzhao Yin. He served as Prime Minister again.
Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor and appointed Zheng Hun as the Imperial Censor. He also became the Prince Consort and served as the prefect of Yangping and Pei Prefecture. He built irrigation works during his term of office, allowing him to have a bumper harvest all year round. The people called him Zheng Po. Later, he was transferred to the prefect of Shanyang and Wei Prefecture.
After Cao Rui heard of Zheng Hun's deeds, he issued an edict to announce his achievements to the world. Later, he moved to be a great craftsman and died a few years later.
Ma Jun, also known as Deheng, was a famous scientist during the Three Kingdoms period. He served as a member of the Board.
He had improved the silk weaving machine and the hundred opera puppet made by his predecessors, and once again invented the lost south-pointing chariot and the waterwheel. When he saw the Zhuge repeating crossbow, he first praised it for its "ingenuity", which showed that it was very different from the previous repeating crossbow. Secondly, he thought that it could be evolved into a continuous 50 arrows.
He had hoped that the imperial court would initiate a project and allow him to experiment and promote it, but it had not attracted much attention. This provided an important clue for later generations to develop the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
Li Bai immediately told the two of them to rush to Wu County and build Jin City first. The two of them did not decline and headed to Wu County under the protection of the ten Tiger Guards.
