Chapter 632 Dragon Slaying (1)
In Jiangdu City, after the Emperor Daye ascended the throne, Jiangdu was promoted to the accompaniment. Until the excavation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was completed, Jiangdu became an important hub for communication between north and south. With Yang Guang leading troops to hunt south here, Jiangdu's status was even better than before and had become enough
The important thing that is comparable to Chang'an is that on the top of the city, the teams wore leopard-headed golden helmets and vermilion-lacquered and bright light armored Xiaoguo army held spears and patrols, and the soldiers were full of murderous spirits. On the water surface, warships such as Huanglong, Pingcheng, and Taimeng were shuttled back and forth, and Jianghuai held powerful crossbows.
The crossbowman stood on the bow of the ship and looked grim. There were many workshops outside the city, and skilled craftsmen from all over the southeast kept making armor, crossbow arrows, and crossbow arrows, and the sound of hammers and anvils hitting and whip whip whistling day and night. Although Yang Guang was from Longxi, he was ordered by his father to serve as the general manager of Yangzhou, and was in charge of the Jiangdu commander of the Jianghuai forty-four prefectures and governing the military affairs of the southeast. At that time, the world was initially settled and the people were unstable, and the people's hearts were even more unpredictable, and civil changes were frequent.
In the tenth year of Kaihuang, various places in the southeast changed, and Yang Su added to each other with his troops. However, the civil wars began to destruction and escalate, and there was a tendency to expel the Sui army and re-severe. Seeing this, Yang Jian could only change Yang Guang, who was still the King of Jin, from the General Manager of Bingzhou, to return to Jiangdu to take charge to replace Yang Su. After Yang Guang took office, on the one hand, he was good at fighting against Yingyang to attack and kill large riots of troops, demonstrating the power of the Sui army;
On the other hand, he made a lot of famous scholars in the southeast and even learned the authentic Wu dialect. He asked them to go to various places to preach and lobby and recruit various rebels. Through the use of both soft and hard methods, the disaster was successfully eliminated invisible without much time. Not only did it not cause a huge disaster, but it successfully gathered the hearts of the people. When Yang Guang and Yang Yong fought for the throne in the most intense way, their advisers offered their suggestions, and if the great cause was not achieved, they could start a cause in the southeast.
According to Huaihai, it was restored to Liang and Chen. This shows how deep the foundation of Yang Guang's ten years of striving in Yangzhou was. In terms of emotion alone, Yang Guang's attachment to Jiangdu is far deeper than that of Chang'an. After several open and secret struggles, Yang Guang finally succeeded in replacing Yang Yong, so there is no need to mention the separatist plan. However, for Yang Guang, he did not forget the scenery of Jiangnan just because he ascended to the great treasure. In this regard, he was like his cousin Li Yuan, on the surface
Maintaining the style of a warrior, he has admired Jiangnan culture for a long time. After he ascended the throne, he not only set Jiangdu as the accompaniment and visited twice, but also spared no effort to decorate the Daxing Palace in Jiangnan, and did his best to bring Jiangnan atmosphere to Guanzhong. However, even if Yang Guang did his best, the false was not as good as the real one. The scenery and scenery of Guanzhong were destined to not be the same. Therefore, after the defeat in Liaodong, he first changed the Sixteen Guards to the Xiaoguo Army, and then led the army to hunt in the south but did not return. He moved all officials to save money and return to the roots
In the end, he wanted to change Jiangdu to the capital. When he left Jiangdu and went to Chang'an, he declared his success in fighting for the throne, which was considered a blessing for him. Moving the capital again was also a good start. Although this arrangement was affected by Yang Guang's own likes and dislikes, it also considered the overall situation. Seeing that the country was destroyed, even if he was as arrogant as Yang Guang, he had to seriously consider whether the Sui Dynasty could continue to maintain its territory. No matter how the confidants around him were whitewashed, Yang Guangdu
Knowing that the Sui Dynasty is no longer a victory or two, or a few capable ministers and generals can recover. The great mountains and rivers may collapse at any time, and if you are not careful, you may re-enter the world into the situation where the Five Barbarians invaded China and the people. Under such circumstances, he could only reconsider the plan of separatism in the past. Transferring wealth, goods, money, grain, and elite soldiers, and even civil and military officials to Jiangdu, hoping to use this as the basis to achieve division of the north and south. First defend the southeast, and then find opportunities to attack the north in the future.
Reunify the world. Although Jiangdu is a major southeastern area, it cannot be compared with Chang'an after all. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he expanded the mansion originally set up in Jiangdu into a palace. After the arrival, he even launched a large-scale construction to convert the palace into a palace. He cultivated Jiangdu and Linjiang,
The palaces such as Xianfu include thousands of beautiful women and wealth for their own pleasure. As a result, the empty land in the city is even scarce, and the residences of civil and military officials have become a big problem. Even if the original wealthy businessmen and officials in the city are collected, it is far from meeting the needs of all officials. Every inch of land in Jiangdu City is valuable, and officials are indispensable in every temple in the city to stay with their families. Even if the neighbors are colleagues who have long had a grudge, they can only hold their noses and endure them, otherwise they will have to leave the streets. The ministers in the temple are not enough to treat monks with arrogance and even ridicule them with words.
It is strange. In this case, whose mansion in Jiangdu City is larger in size and whose house is more grand has become one of the criteria for judging whether the person's official position is favored. Since Yang Guang moved the capital, he has been an old minister of the vassal residence when he was the chief magistrate of Yangzhou and a scholar in Jiangnan.
He gained the upper hand, and most of the houses in the city were owned by him, but there were some anomalies in it. For example, Yu Wen, Zhi, Shi and the three brothers were one of these anomalies. Brother Yu Wen was a Hun, and his original surname was Poye Tou. His ancestor was Yu Wen Sheng, the upper pillar of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His father, General Yu Wen Shu, was an important minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, and was also a close confidant of Yang Guang. Even the reason why Yang Guang was able to successfully fight for the throne was also due to Yu Wen Shu's power.
With great care for Brother Yuwen, he specially married his eldest daughter, Princess Nanyang, to Yuwen and his wife. However, the three brothers did not have the ability of their fathers. Yuwen and his talent were mediocre. They were cautious and cautious, and they got along with Princess Nanyang. Although they could not establish merits, they could also preserve the family name. Yuwen and Zhihe and the two brothers were real.
The "son who destroyed the family" had no talent and virtue, which was a famous disaster in the court. In the past, when he was in Chang'an, the two brothers did everything evil, and Yu Wen and were even called "flirting young masters". For the sake of wealth and wealth, even when he was following Yang Guang to hunt in the north, he did not hesitate to smuggle armies to the Turks against the will. If it weren't for the Nanyang Princess' plea, the two brothers would
At that time, he was about to beheaded. Due to this disaster, the two were dismissed from their official positions and turned into white. It was not until Yuwen Shu died of illness that he specially entrusted Yang Guang to re-enter the temple. Yuwen Zhiji is now the general of the Youtun Guard, while Yuwen Zhiji is the young supervisor. One of them holds military power and the other holds equipment, although it is not considered as the position.
As for the ministers, but the authority is very strong, it can be seen that the emperor's attitude towards the two has changed greatly. Moreover, since Yang Guang arrived in Jiangdu, his government has become increasingly abandoned, and he is addicted to wine and beauties every day. These two people are experts in eating, drinking and having fun, and they can cater to the emperor and evil. They always take advantage of Yang Guang's intentions, so they become more and more successful.
Even if you are an old man in a vassal residence, your status is not as good as these two brothers. They are not people who have accomplished great things, but now they are more and more arrogant without constraints. They drink in the mansion during the day and find beautiful women from the palace to sing and dance. Anyway, there are more than a thousand beauties in the palace, and even Yang Guang cannot remember everyone. As long as they don’t
If you are a popular concubine, you will not make any mistakes. The situation is the same today. The two of you sit side by side and raise your glasses to drink, and in front of you are a few beautiful Jiangnan with slender waists dancing. Both brothers were drinking red, and four eyes were circling around these women. Yuwen Zhiji said, "It's still the saint who is smart and has decided to move the capital. I want me to say that the capital should be moved here long ago. The water here is good and the people are better. How can you compare to Guanzhong? It's ridiculous that those things that don't know how to live or die are clamoring to go back. After you go back, you can have such a happy day.
Zi? I deserve to cut off their heads!" Yu Wenji snorted coldly: "Go back? They said lightly, how can they go back? Can they come up with the regulations? Now the Wagang army has occupied Luokou and cut off our way back. When we go back, would it be necessary for these tens of thousands of fruits to fight with the Wagang army to die together?
All? These false people don’t have to pay attention to them. The saints have their own opinions that we just need to follow the orders. But you and I cannot drink and have fun all day long, and we must not delay what we should do. How did we do what we ordered?"
"Brother, don't worry, how dare you be negligent about what you ordered? But I haven't seen anyone in the past few days. Is that the little thief afraid to come?"
"This is nonsense. He is Xu Gan's grandson. Which of the Xu family does you think is a timid rat? Since he is ordered to go on a mission, he is destined to come. Your people must keep an eye on him and not alarm this big worm!"
"Why is my only brave man? Why should my elder brother pay so much attention to him? Let him go with his life and death, what does it have to do with us?" "I have my own arrangements for you, and you will understand in the future." Yu Wenhuan said a few times, then he only drank and watched singing and dancing and stopped talking. Yu Wen Zhiji stopped asking. The two continued to talk. Suddenly, a few knocks came from outside the door.
With Yu Wenji's orders, a servant walked in from outside and came to Yu Wenji and whispered. Yu Wenji's brows gradually frowned, and his face became ugly. "Bastard! Why did his daughter come to me if he lost her? So what if he had served as a soldier for an adult? Now he can't take a knife and is no longer a military man. What does his life and death have to do with me? His daughter has nothing to do with me! Besides, who has never lost a female family in Jiangdu City? What's the fuss about it? Take him away and tell him that he has the ability to go to Xiaoguo's military camp to find him, otherwise he would go to the crying door outside the palace to see if the saint is willing to take charge of him and not come again.
It's noisy here!"
Yuwen Zhiji glanced at his brother: "What? Someone came to find his daughter here?"
"No? It's said that he was a personal soldier for the adults back then, but he became disabled and could not join the army. He asked us to make the decision for him. It's really irrelevant!"
Yuwen Zhiji sneered and said, "If we have this, we won't think about being purified!" He said to the servant again, "Tell them to be more neat and don't let Erlang see it, otherwise it will be another trouble!" When the servant left, Yuwen Zhiji thought for a moment and said, "It's not a way to catch a woman in Jiangdu. If one day it will make a big deal, it will always be troublesome. Besides, the women in Jiangdu are almost caught, and it's useless to catch them.
Why not follow my method and start from those businessmen!”
Yu Wenji glanced at him: "What are you thinking about?"
"Why did my eldest brother say this? Am I not sharing my worries for me?"
"You and I are brothers, you want to hide your thoughts from your brother? Forget it, it's fine whatever you think. Since you want to do it, let it go. We brothers still have to be afraid of who will not succeed?"
Speaking of this, the two of them burst into laughter. At this time, outside the Yuwen Mansion, several strong servants dragged a man who had lost his right hand and left leg to walk away. The man was gray and ragged, looking down and out, struggling desperately, but he could not get rid of the few servants. He could only scream at the top of his voice.
