Emperor Sui Yang

After leaving Gao Jiong's mansion, Yang Ming went directly to Duke Chu's mansion to meet Yang Yue, and described his judgment on the form to him.

Yang Yue patted his chest and promised that if something happened in the future, Hongnong Yang would prepare 5000 men, [-] horses, plus military equipment and food for Yang Ming.

This is not the maximum, but depends on the situation. In short, Yang Yue is willing to spend all his money on Yang Ming.

"Once there is chaos in Hebei, Your Highness must delay it in the early stage. The more chaos the better, the bigger the trouble, the more trouble you can pull Yang Hao down." Yang Yue casually put on a piece of clothing and conspired with Yang Ming in the house .

In his opinion, the suppression of the rebellion should not be rushed, but delayed. If there were only one or two county uprisings in Hebei, Yang Ming would not have the opportunity to lead troops to suppress the rebellion, and Yang Hao would not be guilty of much.

Only when the whole of Hebei is full of flames of war can Guanzhong be mobilized.

Yang Ming nodded: "Grandpa Gao also meant the same thing. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Only when there is a complete mess this time can I give my father a warning so as not to start another project."

"Ah..." Yang Yue sighed, "Wan Shi gave me a letter. It is very difficult for him in Hejian County. The county town is empty and all businesses are ruined. Everyone has been conscripted away. Only the old and weak children can be seen living in the streets. Begging, the government collects hundreds of people from starvation in the city every day, I have already written back and told him, if you have to, abandon the city and run away."

"Losing the city and losing the land is a capital offense," Yang Ming said, "If he dares to do this, I won't be able to protect him in the future."

Yang Yue said with a bitter face: "What can I do? All the military mansions in Hejian County have been exhausted. Wan Shi is currently relying on a hundred or so people from the government, and his three hundred plays. In case of civil unrest, only Waiting for death."

"How come there are only more than 100 people in the government office of a county?" Yang Ming was stunned.

Yang Yue said helplessly: "They were all taken away. Hebei has taken away more than 120 million people this time. There are too many people. The government servants need to follow along to supervise the labor to prevent civil uprisings."

Yang Ming was completely speechless, the prefect of a county had become like this, he didn't even have the ability to protect himself, no wonder Yan Pi ran so fast.

"Tell Wan Shi to put on a show when he runs, don't just know how to run," Yang Ming said in a deep voice.

Yang Yue nodded and said: "I have given him instructions, and when he finds that the situation is not right, he hastened to spend money to recruit some people in the local area. After all, it cannot be withdrawn.”

He can only run to Zhuojun, Hejian County is Cangzhou City, Hebei, and Bohai Sea is to the east. He really has nowhere to run, so he can only go north to find Yan Pi and Yuan Hongsi.

The frontier military government has a huge responsibility and is not included in the transfer. That is to say, once there is chaos in Hebei, only this place can save lives.

Yang Ming frowned and said, "How could it be like this? The canal project was originally agreed to call for 200 million people, but it didn't take so many at once. Yuhe is the work of your supervisor. That much?"

"The early stage is the most complicated, and of course we don't need so many people," Yang Yue said, "It can be seen that Yang Hao is in a hurry, and His Majesty has set a one-year schedule, but after his northern tour, he will return from Zhuojun, according to my estimation. , Yang Hao probably wants to build the canal before His Majesty arrives in Zhuojun."

Yang Ming calculated silently in his heart, and said in surprise, "That's six or seven months?"

"Probably so, otherwise there is really no need to take away all the people at once," Yang Yue said excitedly, "The more this is the case, the more beneficial it is to His Highness. It's him."

"Those four envoys will probably be the main force in countering the rebellion in the future. Only when they are defeated can Guanzhong be mobilized," Yang Ming said in a deep voice.

Yang Yuedao: "Zhang Xutuo is the former Ministry of Taiping Gong. You can ask Taiping Gong to say hello to him, keep it secret, and let him know the stakes."

In the history of Zhang Xutuo, there was a firefighting general at the end of the Sui Dynasty who said that wherever the rebellion went, he finally encountered Wagangzhai, the hardest bone in the end of the Sui Dynasty. He was defeated and died in the hands of Li Mi.

The defeat in this battle was not Zhang Xutuo's fault, but Yang Guang at that time was already in the wrath of gods and men, Zhang Xutuo alone could not save the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Ming nodded, this greeting can be said, but the premise is that Zhang Xutuo must be reliable, otherwise it will be a troublesome thing to sell him in the future.

As for Yu Juluo, there is no need to say hello, he is in the hinterland of Hebei, so he can only bear it hard, besides, this person offended his father because of his younger brother Yuzan, and now he will definitely not dare to make mistakes again.

Yu Zan is an old acquaintance of Yang Ming, relying on being his father's confidant, dominating the palace and abusing his subordinates, he doesn't even think about it, who can be on duty in the palace without a backer?

As a result, it was all right, and the clan was directly annoyed, and Yang Xiong took the lead in suing, so Yang Guang bestowed Yu Zan to death the year before last.

Lu Yongji, the prefect of Shangdang County, is a waste, no, a waste of waste.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, after this boy heard about it, he ran over from Shandong and found Yang Jian to identify his relatives. He said that it was his grandfather Lu Shuangzhou, who was Yang Jian's grandfather.

Yang Jian didn't know this kid, so he sent people to Shandong to investigate, and it turned out that there was such a thing, so he directly named his grandfather Lu Shuangzhou as the Duke of Qi County, and Lu Yongji as the Duke.

Lu Yongji couldn't read, Yang Jian didn't give him real power, but after Yang Guang came to power, this kid was especially good at flattering, so he made Yang Guang happy, and he was named the prefect of Shangdang.

With the four envoys, there will be problems with Lu Yongji [-]%, and Yang Ming can almost predict them.

Yang Ming didn't dare to stay longer with Yang Yue, because he was going to leave the city before dawn, so he hurried to Shi Wansui's mansion again.

"You don't need to say hello. Zhang Xutuo is a foolish and loyal man. He won't listen." Shi Wansui said, "This man is a famous warrior. If Hebei is in chaos, it is the time when this son is making great achievements. How could he do it on purpose?" What about losing a battle?"

Yang Ming nodded: "If it doesn't make sense, I won't talk about it. How is your old health? Can you go out with me in the future?"

Shi Wansui shook his head and said: "After all, I'm old. I felt powerless before Fan Xizheng. This time, if there is a change in Hebei, let Huaiyi go with you. My generals, only Huaiyi can command them."

Shi Huaiyi is the only legitimate son of Shi Wansui, and he is a Zhonglang general in Youtunwei, and he is also in his 30s.

"Okay," Yang Ming nodded and said, "You tell Huai Yi to make preparations early. Hebei may not be able to hide this time. I came back secretly. I don't want people to know. I need to leave the city immediately. Take care."

After finishing speaking, Yang Ming left Shi Wansui's mansion, left Chunming Gate before dawn, and returned to the camp.

Xiao Xuan couldn't please Yang Ming, so he went to Luoyang to join Yang Hao.

"The river I built, he came to make money? How can there be such a reason in the world?" Yang Wei knew about this a long time ago, but his current focus is on the canal, so he has no time to worry about it.

At first he thought it was the Dugu family and the Xiao family who were in private contact, but now that Xiao Xuan reminded him, he realized that the relationship was caused by the bastard Yang Ming.

Xiao Xuan said: "Then what should we do now? I'm already speechless in the clan, and with Seventh Uncle leading the way, His Royal Highness probably won't get any leftovers from the business of water transportation."

"Hehe. They have a good idea," Yang Wei sneered, "This time the south-to-north grain transportation, half of the money will come from Jiangdu, and half from Luoyang. If I don't nod, they won't be able to get the money."

"This amount of money is in decimals, and everyone won't care about it," Xiao Xuan reminded, "I'm afraid that Yuhe's business will be controlled by them in the future."

"Fuck you!" Yang Yan sneered, "The boats are all at Luokou and Banzhu Wharf. If I don't nod in the future, where did they get the boats from?"

"I just want to remind Your Highness of this point, as long as the boat is held, they have no other way to go except to find you," Xiao Xuan said happily.

Yang Hao nodded: "You go back to Jiangdu now, tell Wang Shichong to drag him, and not give any money, let them transport the food first, and say that they will settle the account after the transport."

"It's better to give a little bit, lest they become suspicious and affect His Highness's canal affairs," Xiao Xuan reminded.

Yang Hao nodded and said: "Just do as you said, after I build the canal, I will settle accounts with them."

"I have another strategy here, which may be of use to His Highness," Xiao Xuan said.

"Tell me," Yang Hao said.

Xiao Xuan said: "When I first arrived in Luoyang, I heard that Zhao Guogong's daughter came back from the capital?"

"I've been back a long time ago, what do you mean by mentioning her?" Yang Hao said.

Xiao Xuan said with a smile: "I heard that this woman has not recovered from her madness, but she is already close to normal, so does she know that she is the Zhengfei of King Qin?"

"Of course she doesn't know, but I heard from Dugu's family that this girl's memory is gradually recovering, and she can recall many things from the past." relation?"

Xiao Xuan nodded: "Your Highness, it's better for someone to let the wind out, and say that Dugu Nv's madness was caused by Yang Su back then. This will have a miraculous effect."

"Great idea!" Yang Hao was overjoyed instantly: "Why didn't I think of it? When she went crazy, Yang Su's granddaughter became a princess. Who else could it be if it wasn't Yang Su playing tricks? Hahahaha."

In Yang Hao's view, if the Dugu family turned against Hongnong Yang, then Yang Ming would definitely want to protect the Yang family. In this way, the Dugu family would be alienated from them, and he could take the opportunity to win them over.

"Yang Yue, a bastard, takes money and doesn't do anything. He's pissed me off a few times. This time, I've seized the opportunity," Yang Yan said with a smirk, "I won't get rid of that bitch Yang Yinjiang this time. I'm sorry for the rumors he made for Lao Tzu."

Xiao Xuan continued: "It's better to spread some rumors about the infighting between Yang and Pei. If Pei Ju can be dragged into the water, there will be a big scene to watch."

"That's right," Yang Hao laughed and said, "Didn't the third one interfere with my family affairs? I call it tit for tat."

Then, Yang Hao summoned all his staff and began to spread rumors.

Yang Yue is not the only one who does this kind of thing, other people can do it too, but Yang Yue is more proficient in business.

If Yang Yue is a diamond, then Yang Hao is at least platinum.

Everyone has one head and one mouth, and you are not the only one who can spread rumors.
