The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 29 Unwelcome

After one night, the sky is bright and even a little dark!Yang Tong led an army northward to Zhuojun, and hundreds of thousands of captives from the Wagang Army and Dou Jiande followed in the mighty army. In the disciplinary killing by the Tuoshui River, nearly [-] lives were put to death right under their noses, and each of them was very peaceful.

Although these people are evil, but Yang Tong must not kill them all and use them to build places. This is top-level labor, and it is the kind that does not need to be paid...

Yang Tong's package plans all need people, and with these 10 people, the infrastructure will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

Hejian County and Zhuo County live next to each other, and there are official roads extending in all directions. It took only two days to reach Ji County, the seat of Zhuo County.

As soon as he entered the city, he heard a message.

Xue Shixiong, who stayed behind in Zhuojun County, was critically ill. When he heard that Yang Tong and Yang Yichen had arrived, he asked them to meet in the past.

When he arrived at Xue's mansion, Xue Shixiong had only his last breath left. He took Yang Tong's hand and said, "I couldn't put down the bandits, and even killed [-] soldiers. I'm ashamed of the Holy Majesty and the Sui Dynasty. I, will die."

Yang Tong squatted in front of the skinny old general, looked at the deep guilt in the muddy eyes, and comforted him: "General, I have already avenged the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty. Now that Hebei Road has been pacified, the general can just rest assured! Great Sui’s loyalty can be learned from heaven, I do not blame you, the Holy One does not blame you, and the people of Sui do not blame you, you have done your best in your life.”

Xue Shixiong smiled reassuringly, and said with great effort: "My five sons, Wan Shu, Wan Shu, and Wan Bei are well versed in military and political affairs, and put more emphasis on literature, while Wan Jun and Wan Che are brave, and slightly more military. Your Highness, please accept the five sons and make atonement for me!"

"Don't worry, old general, I will use my talents according to my ability."

Xue Shixiong confessed to the five sons: "There are many riots and bandits in the Great Sui Dynasty, and the country's affairs are difficult! After I die, your five brothers don't need to keep filial piety for me. Loyalty to the emperor is greater than filial piety."

After speaking, the 64-year-old star passed away with infinite guilt in his eyes.

He fought hundreds of thousands of times in his life, but in the end he was defeated by Dou Jiande because he underestimated the enemy and was careless. Before he died, he still couldn't forget the Great Sui Dynasty.

In the Sui Dynasty, another pillar fell.

The eldest son Xue Wanshu said in tears: "Father's body was broken as early as the Goguryeo War. He felt that he had killed [-] troops, and he has never been able to forgive himself."

"The generation of the old general is upright and loyal, with a strong temperament, and grows stronger with age! He was born great in his life and died a glorious death. He must let the old general go well. On the day of the funeral, I will let the whole army send the old general One ride!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun, Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanbei were all grateful, and it was indeed a great honor for a general to send the whole army off.

Yang Tong comforted me for a while!leave.

Soon after, in the tall, majestic and magnificent Linshuo Palace, under the witness of a full hall full of civil and military officials, as well as several foreign envoys, Yang Tong officially took up the post of Shangshuling of Xingtai, Hebei Province.From then on, Yang Tong formally possessed the qualifications to dominate one side and contend for the hegemony in the world.

After a lively day, the servant Yang Yichen also bid farewell!
Yang Yichen's identity is Hebei Province's arrest ambassador. Now that the bandits have been put down, and Yang Tong's policy is right, it will not take long for him to return to normal. He can rest assured that he will return to court.

Yang Tong was very reluctant to part with this only surviving famous general. Yang Yichen's ability and loyalty were unquestionable, and more importantly, Hebei Province still lacked a pillar in charge of military affairs.He himself is the local emperor of Hebei Province, how can he manage so much, not to mention in terms of ability, he sent Yang Yichen more than a hundred and eight thousand miles.

It is okay to let him come up with conspiracies and tricks to fight a small-scale war. With his current ability, he is not qualified to be the commander-in-chief of the theater.

However, Yang Tong couldn't keep Yang Yichen. Firstly, Yang Guang repeatedly urged him to become Minister of War of the Great Sui Dynasty. Second, the Hebei Road was roughly determined, so there was no need to deploy so many troops.

You can't tell Yang Yichen that Yang Guang is about to finish playing, so you just obediently be my little brother!If Yang Tong really said that, Yang Yichen would definitely not leave, because he wanted to level himself.

Helpless, I had no choice but to euphemistically say that I was short of a person in charge of military affairs, and hoped that Yang Yichen would recommend a suitable candidate.

Yang Yichen also recommended people to Yang Tong, the nearest ones were Li Jing, the prefect of Beiping, and Deng Hao, the prefect of Liaoxi!Far away is Li Jing who makes Yang Tong's heart flutter.

Yang Yichen once served under Yang Su's command with Li Jing, and Li Jing, as an aide, gave him a very deep impression. He wrote letters all the year round, and now he is nesting in Mayi as a lower-level county magistrate from the eighth rank.

After listening to Yang Yichen's recommendation, Yang Tong immediately wrote the following letter to transfer Li Jing to Hebei Road!Then he wrote a seal memorial, which stated that Xue Shixiong died of illness, and asked Yang Guang to posthumously seal it.This great general, who was loyal to the Sui Dynasty throughout his life, could not just die mediocrely. The court had to express his feelings and reason.At the same time, a copy of the New Deal of Hebei Province was also attached for Yang Yichen to bring to Yang Guang for review.

Yang Yichen left early the next morning. Before leaving, he went to Xue Shixiong, an old comrade-in-arms, to drink wine, review his past life, and finally got drunk!Cry a lot!With the support of his personal guards, he boarded the warship and went south to Jiangdu along the canal.

Looking at the warship going far away, Yang Tong has mixed feelings, this famous general is also old, and he doesn't know if there is a chance to meet again today.

I hope that after he arrives in Jiangdu, he will obey his own words and be a nodding minister!Otherwise, this loyal and famous general, like Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu, would have been slaughtered by Yang Guang who listened to the slander.

Yang Yichen left, but left behind an army of [-]. This army was formed by Yang Yichen after entering Hebei Road. Like Zhang Xutuo's troops, all of them were brave and good at fighting. Teacher, according to Yang Yichen's intention to be dismissed as a citizen, Yang Tong agreed verbally very nicely, but how could he be willing?

He dismissed the old and the weak, and released some soldiers who wanted to go home, leaving more than [-] people willing to continue to join the army!
Select strong men to expand the Xuanjia army to five thousand, then expand the Xiaoguo army to thirty thousand, and then combine the remaining army with the Luoyang army, break up and reorganize, and get seventy thousand troops.

Pei Renji, Gao Yaxian, and Yang Shanhui each took [-] back to serve as a kindling to form a local army of [-]!
Considering that Wuyang County and Dongjun are facing each other across the river, I am afraid that Wagang will go north again, so the prime minister of Jijun County was transferred to Wuyang, and he also led an army of [-] to form a Wuyang army of [-].

The remaining [-] were led by Qin Qiong and stepped up training.

The [-] Xiaoguo were divided into three, and the main generals were Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, and Su Dingfang.

Luo Shixin continued to lead the Xuanjia Army.

All the prisoners of war went to build roads, some built army capitals, and some built Feihuxing.

The other part starts from Linyuguan and builds the Chidao to Dingtong Town, Liaodong County.

Linyuguan is also known as Shanhaiguan Pass in later generations. There are two main roads from here to Liaodong. One is the Bailangshui Ancient Road, which marches along the Bailangshui River Valley and arrives in Yingzhou. This road is relatively old. But extremely difficult.

The other road is the Liaoxi Corridor along the coast, which was repeatedly contested by the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

That is Guan Ningjin line.

Leaving Linyuguan, you can go directly to Liaoshui via Linhaidun, Liucheng Town, Luhe Town, and Huaiyuan Town. However, this road is not easy to walk, especially in the rainy season, when there are often heavy rains, which delays the journey.Sometimes it rains continuously and the road is washed away.

When Yang Jian, Yang Guang and his sons went on an expedition to Goguryeo, they took the Liaoxi Corridor. Once there was heavy rain, they had to set up camp and stop marching.

Yang Tong now has a lot of free labor. Once Chi Dao is opened, it can not only strengthen the connection between Zhuo County, Liaoxi County and Liaodong County, but also prepare for the future march into Goguryeo. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

As for the road designer, he also has an extraordinary background. He is Jiang Xingben, a direct disciple of the master architect Yu Wenkai, and was appointed by Yang Tong as the minister of Hebei Daoxingtai Engineering Department.

Yu Wenkai's eldest son, Yuwen Rutong, is not good at words, and prefers to study all kinds of strange things!Yang Tong specially set up a "Tiangongyuan" for research work, and he led a group of like-minded, unspoken and skilled craftsmen to toss about.

The launch of a series of reforms and new policies has aroused heated discussions in Hebei Province!

There are supporters, and there are also many voices of opposition, but opposition can't make waves at all. Ninety percent of the officials in Hebei Province come from poor families. They can only gain a foothold if they follow Yang Tong's footsteps!Otherwise, he will be deposed as a citizen in the next moment.

Some old officials who couldn't squeeze their thighs but were not convinced, annoyed, used their connections to leave one after another, and some resigned directly.

Yang Tong was also happy to have it fulfilled, he paid full salary, sent him abroad as a gift, and then replaced him with a poor family scholar.

Another month later, with the full support of Yang Gongren, Yang Shidao, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others, and the cooperation of local officials, Yang Tong took command of the military and political power in Hebei Province at the age of sixteen, and he did it brilliantly.

During this period, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Boling, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Gao family of Bohai and other big families saw the peace of Hebei Road, and sent people to express their goodwill to Yang Tong and expressed their willingness to come back. will, and seduce with talent.

Yang Tong said it's okay to come back, [-] acres of land per person!The officials are full and there are no vacancies, just wait you guys...

When the representatives of these aristocrats happily returned to the ancestral house to watch, they were all dumbfounded: their own houses were gone, replaced by rows of brand-new residential buildings, and the fertile land was all occupied by hardworking people.

When the representatives of each family angrily approached the local officials to ask for an explanation, the officials told them: I don’t know, when we took over, the place was in ruins and there was no house to be seen.

When the representatives of each family took out the real estate title deeds, the officials took out the new household registration and real estate title deeds, and said: "When we took office, let alone the real estate title deeds, we didn't even see half a piece of paper. How can you prove that the land in your hand The thing is not fake?"

When the representatives of each family proposed to redeem the ancestral house and ancestral land, the officials said: Hebei Road is not popular to buy and sell land, whoever buys it will die, and whoever sells it will die.

When the representatives of each family asked Yang Tong again, Yang Tong answered them with four words: come up with an official certificate?
The helpless representatives of each family retreated to the second place, and proposed the intention of redemption, and hoped for accommodation.

Yang Tong replied with two words: No way.

At this moment, the representatives of each family understood in seconds: as long as Yang Tong stays in Hebei Province for one day, not only will he not be able to return to his ancestral land, but he will not even have a foothold. Site) is full and no longer accepts population.

So it didn't take long before the rumors that Qin Wang Yang Tong persecuted the nobles spread all over the north and south of the river and up and down the Yellow River!And the impeachment of Yang Tong was sent to Emperor Yang Guang's case like snowflakes.
