Emperor Sui Yang

"Shuyi has such a temperament, always talking nonsense," Yang Ming met Feng Yuzhi in Wei Xianhui's bedroom, and the latter's expression was very strange.

Wei Xianhui now has a big belly, knowing that it is inconvenient for her to be here, so she quietly backed down.

"You scared me today," Feng Yuzhi lowered his head and whispered:
"I have always regarded you as a friend I met on the spring outing, but I always ignored that you are the crown prince, the prince of the Great Sui Dynasty. You invited Ning Huizao to come to the capital, but you are actually putting him under house arrest to threaten Ning Changzhen, right? "

It seems that the girl is more transparent than I imagined, but Yang Ming can't recognize it:
"It's a little warning. House arrest is out of the question. If you think so, why did you come to the capital? Is it also under house arrest?"

Feng Yuzhi raised his head and said, "You know why I came here."

"Oh..." Yang Ming couldn't help laughing: "I really don't know."

Feng Yuzhi lowered his head again: "Ning Changzhen is a person who prefers to be soft but not hard. You used the wrong method. Although we in Lingnan also have a distinction between concubines and concubines, and we value sons over daughters, Ning Changzhen has seven sons. You put Ning Huizao under house arrest." , it will not threaten Ning Changzheng, it will only make him more dissatisfied."

Yang Ming said lightly: "Lingnan is the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty. Ning Chang is really a subject of His Majesty. He has no right to be dissatisfied. Being disloyal to the court is of no benefit. I was actually giving him a chance, but he didn't grasp it. Your grandpa, you are absolutely sincere to the imperial court, Your Majesty is assured that Lingnan will be handed over to your family for generations to manage."

He is still fooling Feng Yuzhi, no one can occupy Lingnan, from generation to generation, only our surname Yang.

Feng Yuzhi sighed quietly and said, "If Ning Changzhen still refuses to borrow money this time, what will you do?"

"It doesn't matter, at most I'll reprimand you," Yang Ming said with a smile, "It's a shortcoming if a person is too stingy, but it's not a crime. Lingnan is special. of."

Feng Yuzhi nodded and said, "I'd better go and see Shuyi, your blow was quite heavy."

Yang Ming nodded, Feng Yuzhi got up and left.

The next day, Gao's mother and daughter, who returned to the capital, went to the East Palace to meet Yang Yinjiang.

Changsun Sheng didn't have a title until his death, but he had a first-class honor in Shangzhu Kingdom, so Mrs. Gao, the wife of Shangzhu Kingdom, had to pay a visit to Yang Yinjiang after the mourning period expired.

Yang Guang is actually right not to confer titles, because those who have titles eat from the treasury, and the Great Sui Dynasty inherited from the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In order to appease the old Zhou officials, Yang Jian recognized Zhou's titles, and the Great Sui Dynasty also conferred a large number of them. .

So much so that there were too many people with titles in the Sui Dynasty, and it was a huge investment for the treasury to support them every year.

That's why Yang Guang reorganized Lord, in order to reduce the burden on the country.

In Guanghua Hall, Yang Yinjiang received Gao's mother and daughter, asking for warmth and caring.

Once, Yang Ming proposed to marry Changsun Wugou, the daughter of Changsun Sheng, to Yang Rui. At that time, Yang Yinjiang disagreed, and she still disagrees now.

And he was so persistent that Yang Ming had no choice but to give up.

Because now Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji are already close ministers around Yang Rui, and there is no need to rely on marriage to get closer for the time being.

Faced with Gao's grievance and crying, Yang Yinjiang comforted her:

"The three sons of Changsun Sheng are so despicable. This palace did not expect that they would drive your mother and daughter out of the house. Anyway, King Qin and King Wei have given you three sons in the capital and are about to leave the house. It can be regarded as a safe place, and I will take care of you from now on, if the eldest grandson's family dares to mess up again, I will send you off."

"Concubine Xie is the master for my mother and daughter," Gao hurriedly pulled her eldest grandson Wugou to salute Yang Yinjiang.

Yang Yinjiang couldn't help taking another look at Changsun Wugou: "How old is this year?"

"Back to the Crown Princess, she is 11 years old," said the eldest grandson Wugou.

Yang Yinjiang nodded with a smile: "You look quite upright, but you've lost some weight. Now you don't need to go back and forth anymore. Let's stay in the capital with your mother."

"Thank you, Crown Princess, for your arrangement," said the eldest grandson Wugou.

Gao's mother and daughter were kicked out after all. The three sons of the family's patriarch, Sun Sheng, did not want Gao to be buried with their parents after death, and the eldest grandson Wuji was so persistent that the brothers fell out completely.

Yang Rui is eight years old this year, three years younger than Changsun Wugou, he has already made his own decisions, rewarding Changsun Wuji with more than a dozen servants, plus Gao's original ten servants, their family is in the capital, it is not sad, but It's definitely not comparable to before.

At this time, Yang Ming just came back from the court meeting. As soon as Gao Shi saw Yang Ming, she immediately became nervous and looked weird. Yang Yinjiang was also very surprised when she saw it.

"Wuji is with Shizi, you can go and see him," Yang Ming said.

Gao nodded quickly, and hurried away with her daughter.

Yang Yinjiang looked at the back of the two leaving, and said strangely: "This woman is so strange, did you see that she blushed?"

Yang Ming looked helpless: "Who knows."

Yang Yinjiang couldn't help laughing and said, "Did you do something before that made people think?"

"Don't talk nonsense, what would I do to a woman?" Yang Ming sat down, took the towel and wiped his face, and said, "Did you ask Xuangan to deliver food to Zhang Xutuo?"

Yang Yinjiang came to sit down beside her husband, and said with a smile, "I know you are difficult, and I want to share the burden with you."

Yang Ming nodded: "I just received Zhang Xutuo's report today, and I just found out about it. Shandong is not going to end well."

"What's going on?" Yang Yinjiang frowned instantly.

Yang Mingdao: "Zhang Xutuo led his troops to Bohai County to pursue the king's thief, but there was also a rebel in Bohai County named Sun Xuanya, and there were two in Pingyuan County, Zhang Jincheng and Hao Xiaode, and Bo Mengrang, the princess of Qi. It's the other way around, right now the rebels have been gathered, and Wang Bo is going south and north to attack Zhang Xutuo."

Yang Yinjiang was dumbfounded: "How could this happen?"

"The shortage of food in Shandong is too big, and now the chaos has come into being," Yang Ming sighed, "What I am most worried about right now is Hebei. The two places are close to each other. The chaos in Shandong may spread to Hebei. The military supply and logistics of the army will be cut off."

Yang Yinjiang sighed bitterly: "The national treasury is empty and it is difficult to provide relief. Right now, we can only count on Zhang Xutuo. We will wait for another three to five months. When the army returns to the south, the problem will be solved by itself."

Yang Ming nodded. Goguryeo cannot lose this time. Once defeated, Shandong and Hebei will be out of control.

In Donglai County, the sailors who came to protect their children, on the third day of May, slaughtered cattle and sheep to sacrifice to the gods, and set sail for an expedition.

According to the original plan, they were going to besiege the Beishe Navy, but there was no trace of them in the vast sea. In desperation, the three hundred warships overlapped and headed towards Pyongyang in a mighty way.

They only had two months to annihilate the Goguryeo navy and march into Pyongyang. In early July, the navy that came to protect children had to land from the Weishui River and form a siege to the south of Pyongyang.

On May [-]th, in the outer waters of the estuary of the Weishui River, the Navy of the Sui Dynasty and the Navy of Goguryeo finally met.

Lai Hu'er stood on the uppermost deck of the building ship, overlooking from a high position, with a serious expression on his face.

The eldest son came to Kai and said: "The enemy army has already lined up, when will we attack?"

"Don't worry," Lai Hu'er raised his hand and said, "My ship's draft is too deep, and the speed of the ship is not superior. If there is a strong attack, the enemy can rely on its flexibility and adopt guerrilla tactics, which is not good for me. Fei Qing The slave sent an order to lead his fleet to attack the enemy's front at nightfall, Zhou Fashang and Fan Zigai to attack the left and right flanks, and Cai Ju led the battleships to surround the rear and form an encirclement, close to fight."

Most of the Sui naval forces are large ships, carrying a huge number of soldiers. If they can board the ships to fight, the advantage is very obvious.

It is also because there are too many soldiers on board, so the ship can't run fast. If it is beaten by others and the ship sinks, many people will die.

Lai Kai nodded: "Our army is well prepared. Fighting at night is beneficial to me, but we may not be able to encircle them."

Lai Hu'er smiled and said: "It is definitely impossible to encircle. The enemy army also knows the advantages and disadvantages of me, so naturally they will not let me get close so easily. Once they find out, they will definitely withdraw, but I still want to issue such an order. If you tell them that the enemy will definitely run away, they will not try their best to surround them."

"My son has been taught," Lai Kai said.

Lai Huer said: "There are no fathers and sons in the army."

"Yes," Lai Kai ordered the flag officer to give orders to the fleets.

The flag order of the navy is very complicated. The flagships are used to issue orders. There will be flag officers who wave the command flag, play the semaphore, and pass on the order.

Sometimes commanding arrows are also used, that is, once the arrow is fired, the arrow is bald and cannot kill people.

If it is foggy or at night, the signal is sent by fire, and if the distance is too far, the order is sent by boat.

When marching at night, each ship also hangs lights on the mast to identify the position of friendly troops. Five lights are the flagship, four are the front battalion, three are the left battalion, two are the right battalion, and one is the rear battalion. .

Under Lai Huer's command, it is divided into five divisions. His central army is one division. His confidant General Fei Qingnu is the forward, and the two wings are supported by Zhou Fashang and Fan Zigai. , is the one who was frightened by Yang Ming. This person is a man who understands the navy and Han Sengshou.

Fan Zigai, the prefect of Yuanling County, has a good relationship with Zhou Fashang.

The sea at night is very scary. Fortunately, the place where Laihuer and Goguryeo meet is near the sea, and the waves are not too high, but it is extremely difficult for people on the boat.

That's why, the sailors who came to protect the children are composed of the Jianghuai navy and the Lingnan platoon. They are all from the south. The northerners can't resist the turbulence on the boat. The mild ones vomit, and the severe ones can faint directly. past.

Southerners' familiarity with water is simply not comparable to that of northerners. If you row a dragon boat on the Dragon Boat Festival, you can see that foolish figure from a certain place in the north.

At nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply, and the main ship called out the fire number.

The [-] warships of the Sui Army gradually dispersed, and while the moon was dark and the wind was high, they quickly approached the Goguryeo Navy. (end of this chapter)
