Emperor Sui Yang

"Bastard!"

In Daxing Hall, Yang Guang was furious and pointed at Duan Wenzhen and scolded him.

In fact, everyone knows that he is not scolding Duan Wenzhen, he is just looking for a punching bag. After all, if something goes wrong, someone has to take the blame. You can't scold the generals who are leading the army outside. Even with Yang Guang's domineering character, he won't do it easily. Do this.

The generals who lead the army are out there to handle things for you. Whether they are done well or not, you have to temporarily tolerate it. Problems in the army are more serious than anything else.

Whether it is a takeaway boy or a courier boy, they are all delivering packages to you. Even if you are delayed and late, don't be angry, be considerate to each other, and finally say: Thank you for your hard work, give others a good review.

Giving convenience to others is giving convenience to oneself.

"The King of Qi, sitting in the south of the Yangtze River, allowed the Xiao thieves to march westward to Jingzhou, causing the fall of Jiangxia. This is his first crime," Wei Zheng said boldly:

"The situation in the south of the Yangtze River has been making no progress for so long. The rebels from all walks of life have become separatist forces. They recruit aristocratic families to manage the place and rebel against the imperial court. This is the second crime. I believe that the King of Qi should be recalled."

Normal people would not say such things, and Wei Zheng knew it was not appropriate to say them, but his role was to say such things that should not be said.

why?Try to guide and bias the emperor so that he will become more distrustful of the king, which is PUA.

Could Yang Guang be fooled by him?

"Shut up!" Yang Guang yelled angrily, and Wei Zheng retreated in despair. His rank was not high, but he was in the top department of the province, so he could participate in court affairs.

Yu Shiji frowned and said: "Jingzhou cannot be lost. Although Yang Xuan went to Jiangling, there is no naval force and the number of troops is small. Compared with the rebels, it is too weak. However, the Xiangyang Navy has a difficult task and cannot be transferred away from Jiangdu. , what should we do?"

"Well, after all, the designations of various naval forces along the Yangtze River should not have been revoked back then, otherwise they would not be as passive as they are today," said Dou Yan, the minister of the Ministry of Works.

What he said shows that he will not become a big boss because he thinks too shallowly.

After Yang Jian destroyed Chen, he abolished the establishment of various naval forces, leaving only the Jiangdu and Xiangyang naval forces. He also reduced the maintenance costs of the navy in various ways, in order to prevent the emergence of large fleets on the Yangtze River.

The southerners are unwilling to return. If the Yangtze River is full of naval forces, it will be a big threat to the court. After all, the center of power of the Sui Dynasty is in the north.

Mingya from the Ministry of War said: "The Xiangyang Navy has a magnificent fleet. It should be possible to transfer half of it back to Jingzhou."

"How to transfer?" Mai Tiezhang frowned and said: "We only have [-] people in total. There are [-] to [-] rebels who invaded Jiangxia. What can we do if we transfer thousands of people back? The report has already said that the Wuchang rebels , are renovating the civilian docks in the county and planning to build a navy. Once they succeed, it will not be easy for Jingzhou to get it back."

Yu Zhongwen exclaimed: "How can shipbuilding be so easy? At present, except for the craftsmen in Xiangyang, no one can build the five-toothed ship. The blueprints of the Huanglong ship and other large ships are also in the hands of the imperial court. They are the most What about building some second-floor boats?”

"How does the prince know how to build a five-tooth ship?" Yang Guang frowned and looked at Xuangan: "Do you have the blueprints of the five teeth hidden in your possessions?"

The secretariat in the palace had a document on how to build the Five-Tooth Ship, but it was far less detailed than Yang Su's family, because Yang Su built the Five-Tooth Ship.

Yang Xuangan hurriedly said: "It's nothing. When the prince was in Jingzhou, he saw that Wuya was a fortress in the river and was indestructible, so he dismantled one and then built it. Most of the Baling craftsmen who built Wuya in the early years are no longer alive. The craft has been lost.”

"This is true," Pei Ju said helpfully: "The ship the prince dismantled was the five teeth secretly hidden by Yang Jun after he destroyed Chen. It was the eldest princess who helped the prince to get it."

Yang Guang raised his eyebrows and looked at Liang Wang Yang Hao.

Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Father does have a Wuya. It is located in Jiujiang County, Jingzhou. The house was confiscated by the Second Sage. Wuya was originally in the directory, but I don't know why it is gone. I only found out later that it was the prince who wanted to leave. ”

"He is really good at picking up bargains," Yang Guang snorted coldly: "I don't like the gold and silver treasures, so I asked for a boat. I didn't even know this happened. You all know it, but I don't."

Yang Hao quickly said with a grimace: "I thought your majesty knew."

"So, the prince should have the drawings," Pei Yun said: "Why don't we send people from the Ministry of Industry to Baling County on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to rebuild the ship according to the old method."

"That's not necessary," Yang Zhiji said calmly: "The reason why we built ships in Baling back then was because the Chen Dynasty had not yet been destroyed. Now that everyone in the south has surrendered, there is just a bunch of rebels, so there is no need to make such a big splash and waste financial resources."

Su Wei nodded and said: "It is indeed unnecessary and too late. The rebellion in Jiangnan must be suppressed quickly and cannot be delayed. It is better to urge the King of Qi to destroy Du Fuwei as soon as possible, so that he can be free to attack Xiao with Jingzhou. The rebels."

Cui Junsu agreed: "If you want to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, you still need to recruit people. If Wei Xuan had followed the prince's path and recruited Jiangnan earlier, the current situation would not be the same."

"I'm here to protect you," Yang Guang said in a deep voice, "Before June, no matter what method he uses, the Du thieves must be wiped out. I want to live."

Damn it, this is not easy. Su Wei twitched the corner of his mouth: "Is it too difficult for him?"

Yang Guang was furious: "Then go!"

Okay, I stopped talking. Su Wei slumped his shoulders and lowered his head.

Luoyang received the news earlier than the capital, so Yang Ming arranged for someone to notify Shen Lun early, and if the opportunity was right, he would flee to Jingzhou.As for Danyang, the fight was already in full swing.

Lai Huer has a total of twelve sons. The youngest is only five years old this year, and the eldest grandson Laiyu is already over 20 years old. However, the eleventh and twelfth sons were both prime ministers during the Tang Dynasty.

If it hadn't been for the historical changes in Jiangdu Palace, Lai Huer's most promising son would have been his eldest son Lai Kai.

Laikai started as Yang Guang's personal guard, and later became Qianniu Bishen during the period of Prince Yang Guang's reign. After being gilded, he has been with his father. This man is quite knowledgeable about military affairs.

Lai Huer also knows everything about the cultivation of his eldest son.

Jurong County was captured effortlessly, and then Lai Kai led 1 people to storm Jiangning City.

As for Lai Hu'er, they stationed troops in the south to provide cover and support for Lai Kai, blocking the direction of Xuancheng County, and Miao Haichao and Li Zitong's support to Jiangning.

By capturing Jiangning County, Jiangdu and Jiangning will be connected, and troops and supplies will be transported continuously.

Of course, that was what happened later. Yang Jian wouldn't move now. He wanted to see if he was bragging by coming to protect his children.

In the waters of the Yangtze River, Du Fuwei's 26 navy troops and [-] ships arrived near Jiangning first. Their mission was not to fight the Xiangyang navy, because they would definitely not be able to do so, but to stop the navy and provide opportunities for the upper reaches of the army to cross the river.

Because there is a Yangtze River between Liyang and Jiangning. You have to cross the river to help Fugong. If you can't cross, even if you have 20 troops, it will be useless.

Not everyone has the ability to cross the Yangtze River. Those who have this ability will not be able to cross even with weapons.

And Shen Lun's strategic purpose is to blockade the Yangtze River. No one can pass under my nose.

As soon as the two navies engaged in battle, a large five-toothed ship, under the cover of surrounding ships, rushed over like O'Neal on the basketball court.

The craftsmanship of the Hedong refinery has been improving. The thinnest refined steel skin is riveted to both sides of the hull. This thing is not easy to rust. Don’t think about fire attack. There is also a refined iron sheet on the bow of the ship. As for the giant thorn, whoever it hits will be finished.

Du Fuwei's naval commander, named Dai Yi, was once a famous water bandit in the south of the Yangtze River and was proficient in water.

But being proficient in water skills and being proficient in water fighting are two different things. Folk wild swimming and the national swimming team are two different concepts.

Seeing a second-floor ship being directly smashed by the Wuya ship, the hull seemed to be cut in half and sinking sideways to both sides. Dai Yi quickly ordered all the ships to be blocked horizontally on the river, and the ropes between the ships were fixed and anchored. In the water, it was planned to form a water obstacle to prevent the Xiangyang Navy from passing through, so as to buy time for the army crossing the river behind.

His strategic goal was to cover the infantry across the river. Dai Yi was not stupid. He knew that he couldn't do it because the boat on the other side was too big.

Cai Ju, who was in charge of the five-tooth fleet, immediately ordered a fire boat to break the formation. The bow of the boat was covered with hay, broken wood, wolf dung, and poured with kerosene, and then rushed towards the opposite side.

There are only six people on a fire boat. Two people operate the boat, one sets the fire, and the other holds the big shield, covering the last two to throw the giant anchor on the ship into the water.

The purpose of doing this is of course to nail the fire ship to a fixed position, because they are going upstream. If they are not fixed, the fire ship will float back to their side.

After doing these things, they can jump into the water and run away.

Raging flames and billowing smoke rose up from the Yangtze River.

As more and more ships caught fire, Dai Yi had no choice but to order the soldiers on board to abandon the ships and retreat to both sides of the bank.

He couldn't stop it, he couldn't stop it at all. Now he could only hope that the fire boats on the river would burn for a while longer to delay it for as long as possible.

After the Xiangyang naval fire attack, six red ships were responsible for clearing the way. These ships were equipped with trebuchets. They would smash the burned ships to pieces, and then let the wreckage float away along the current.

From early morning to afternoon, Du Fuwei's navy was completely wiped out.

The Xiangyang Navy went upstream and attacked the six pontoon bridges that had been built upstream and were quickly crossing the river.

In addition to the pontoon, there are also countless boats ferrying people on the river.

The moment the Five-Toothed Ship arrives, all this will cease to exist.

I am invincible on the Yangtze River. A pontoon bridge, let alone a five-toothed ship, can be broken by a yellow dragon. As for the small boats on the river, the six big swatting rods on the five-toothed ship are like swatting flies. Shen Yitiao.

The [-] rebels under Du Fuwei who had crossed the Yangtze River were suddenly left alone. They had a guard in front of them and a Xiangyang navy behind them. They had no supplies and no food. The key was that they didn't know who the leader was.

After taking a look at the huge fleet lying behind the river like a city wall, the fifteen thousand rebels were disbanded on the spot, and everyone went their separate ways.
