An Xiaoyu said: "Are those foreigners really obedient to you?"

"This ......" Yang Guang hesitated, remembering those depressing things and couldn't answer.

Because, when Yang Guang sent Fu Shun to manage and subdue those territories, he did not arrive and returned. Subsequently, Tuyuhun returned to his hometown and attacked the right side of the Sui Dynasty, which was powerless to defend. With this expedition, the counties of Chang'an and the counties in the northwest of the Sui Dynasty had to be transferred to the outside of the Saiwai, hundreds of millions of dollars per year, the journey was dangerous and the robbers and plundered, and the counties would conquer their homes if people and animals died and did not arrive. Therefore, the people were unemployed, and the western half of the Sui Dynasty was first impoverished.

And the Sui general Liu Fang captured the city, soon after the army division, the king of the city of Zhancheng, Shang Bovaman, then in Bijing, Haiyin, Linyi three counties of the hometown of the country, the battle of the Sui army killed four out of ten, five, the commander Liu Fang also died of illness on the way to the division.

In the late Sui Dynasty, the Turks rose, and in the eleventh year of the great cause, the Turkic Shibi Khan led the army to surround Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in Yanmen. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty caused the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the rise of the Turks was unprecedentedly powerful, from the Khitan and Murwei in the east to the Tuyuhun and Gaochang states in the west, all of which belonged to the Turks, and the Central Plains of the Sui Dynasty Dou Jiande, Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Li Rail, Wang Shichong, etc. also submitted to the Turks and were included in the Turkic sphere of influence. The Turks have reached the level of control and millions, Rong Di is blazing strong, and there is no strong level in ancient times.

Even in the early days of the Tang Empire, Li Yuan surrendered to the Turkic Shibi Khan, and when Li Shimin first ascended the throne, he was even beaten to the gate of the national capital by the Turkic Shibi Khan, and sent out a lot of wealth to let the Turkic Shibi Khan withdraw from the army.

After a while, Yang Guang said: "In addition to opening up the territory to the northwest, I also used troops in the southeast and northeast, and the Great Sui Dynasty used troops in all directions, and achieved a great victory. ”

An Xiaoyu said: "You are too good at tossing. ”

Yang Guangdao: "I sent Zhu Kuan to Liuqiu twice in the third and fourth years of the Great Cause, asking them to surrender, but Liuqiu refused. So in the sixth year of the Great Cause, I sent Chen Ling and Zhang Zhenzhou to lead 10,000 troops to attack Liuqiu, killed Liuqiu Wang Huansi thirsty thorn pocket, and captured thousands of people, and later many Liuqiu people once went to the Sui Dynasty to carry out trade activities. In addition to expanding our territory to the northwest, the Sui Dynasty army also carried out a series of wars to expand its territory to the southeast, and the victories of these wars expanded the territory of the southeast of the Great Sui Dynasty to Annam, Champa, Taiwan and other places in Indochina. On Hainan Island, it is divided into three counties: Dan'er, Zhuya, and Linzhen. To the north, there is the Gohara County of Menggu. After pacifying the northwest, southeast, and east, I was finally able to free up my hands to seek revenge on Goguryeo in the northeast. ”

An Xiaoyu said: "What is the contradiction between the Great Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo?"

Yang Guangdao: "Goguryeo was in the north of Korea on the other side of the Yalu River, and first occupied Liaodong. Later, in the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, Goguryeo captured Liaoxi in the Great Sui. My father once sent 300,000 troops to attack Goguryeo, and later because of the illness of the soldiers, Goguryeo also saw that the situation was not good, and sent an envoy to apologize, so the two sides called off, but Goguryeo occupied the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty one after another, which made me very unhappy, I not only want to drive Goguryeo out of the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty, but also let Goguryeo completely surrender, complete the cause that my father did not complete, and let the world see that Lao Tzu's heroic son is a better man. ”

An Xiaoyu sighed:

"Your ambition has led you to be reckless, and you have also dug the grave of the Great Sui Dynasty. ”

In the eighth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo for the first time.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty recruited more than 1.13 million soldiers, the army was concentrated in Zhuojun, and the navy was concentrated in Donglai. Another 2 million people were transferred to transport clothing, armor, food, etc.

The laborers who built the ships stood in the water day and night, their skin festering, maggots growing from the waist down, and many people died.

Goguryeo held on to the cities, the Sui army could not take it, and the general of Youyiwei led the Jiang and Huai water armies, and the battleships stretched for hundreds of miles to attack by sea.

Laihu'er selected 40,000 elite armor and arrived outside Pyongyang, where he was ambushed and defeated, and only a few thousand soldiers fled back.

Before the start of the war, Yang Guang ordered the Sui generals not to make any decisions about the battle without authorization, and they must report to him before obeying orders. This made the Sui army very passive on the battlefield. When the Sui generals made every decision, they had to send someone to report to Emperor Yang of Sui, who was far behind, which delayed the military situation.

As a result, Goguryeo's army had ample time to regroup and counterattack. In this way, five months passed, and Yang Guang did not take Liaodong City.

The 305,000 Sui Dynasty army crossed Liao to attack Goguryeo, but also suffered a crushing defeat, only 2,700 people fled back, and the huge amount of equipment and equipment was also lost.

Although the Sui army had attacked near Pyongyang, it was defeated in the end.

In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo for the second time.

Just when the two sides were at loggerheads, Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, rebelled against Sui, and Emperor Yang of Sui withdrew his troops in a hurry.

In the tenth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo for the third time. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not dare to fight for a long time because the peasant uprising in the country had become a prairie fire, and Goguryeo was also tired of the war and sent an envoy to surrender, so Yang Guang withdrew his troops.

In the war against Goguryeo, the Great Sui Dynasty successively mobilized millions of manpower, requisitioned countless property, and a large number of soldiers and people died on the battlefield and in hard labor, due to the extreme lack of labor and cultivated animals in the countryside, a large amount of land was barren, and the social economy was seriously damaged, and the people were difficult to live, triggering a large-scale peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guangdao: "The height is cold, no one understands the ambition of an emperor, my subjects do not understand, my ministers do not understand, they only see their own interests, they do not see the emperor's contribution to the country." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "The people are tired of the war, their requirements are very simple, there is a bite to eat, there is a place to live, the people don't want to become victims of the emperor's ambitions, so they have revolted." ”

Yang Guang squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and fell into painful memories, and fear began to take over his emotions.

Yang Guangnian went out on patrol every year, visited Yangzhou three times, patrolled the north twice, visited the right side of the river, and traveled to Zhuo County three times, and frequently returned between Chang'an and Luoyang.

Every time Yang Guang travels, he makes a big way to leave the palace.

In November of the fourth year of Renshou, in order to dig a long trench to defend Luoyang, he transferred hundreds of thousands of peasants in present-day Shanxi and Henan.

In the following year, Luoyang, the eastern capital, was built, and as many as 2 million men were enlisted every month.

From the first year of the Great Cause to the sixth year of the Great Cause, various sections of the canal were developed, and peasants and soldiers from Henan, Huaibei, Huainan, Hebei, and Jiangnan counties were successively transferred

More than three million people.

In the third and fourth years of the Great Cause, the Great Wall was built east of Yulin, and 1.2 million men were transferred twice, and more than half of the people died in service, and in total, no less than 10 million peasants were disturbed by the levy and distribution in the past 10 years, and the average number of people in each household was more than one person in service, resulting in the tragic phenomenon of "the world died in service".

In order to satisfy his arrogant and lascivious life, Yang Guang overhauled the palace and palace annexes in various places, among which the famous ones are Xianren Palace, Jiangdu Palace, Linjiang Palace, Jinyang Palace, Xiyuan and so on.

The West Garden is in the west of Luoyang, more than 200 miles around, there is an artificial lake in the garden, more than 10 miles around, there are mountains in the lake, the hall and the hall are viewed, the layout is wonderful, the poor are extremely gorgeous.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty often took thousands of palace maids to ride horses around the West Garden on moonlit nights, and ordered the palace maids to play the song "Night Tour" on the horse, and the strings were sung for a long time. When Emperor Yang traveled to the Jiangdu, he led 100,000 or 200,000 people, including kings, hundreds of officials, concubines, and palace maids, and the captain of the ship reached more than 200 li.

In the seventh year of the Great Cause, Wang Bo led the people to revolt in Changbai Mountain, northeast of Zhangqiu, Shandong, and the civil rebellion finally broke out at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Liu Badao, Sun Zuan, Zhang Jincheng, Dou Jiande and others led the peasant people to revolt, and the strength of the peasant rebel army developed rapidly and grew stronger day by day.

In the ninth year of the Great Cause, peasant uprisings not only spread throughout Shandong, Hebei and other places, but also spread to the whole country.

In the first half of the ninth year of the Great Cause, peasant uprisings broke out in Pingyuan, Lingwu, Jibei, Jiyin, Beihai and other places, and the rapidly rising peasant uprisings dealt a heavy blow to the ruling class of the Sui Dynasty.

Under the impact of the great waves of peasant uprisings, the ruling class of the Sui Dynasty was divided internally.

In June of this year, Yang Xuangan rebelled in Liyang.

The Sui Dynasty army withdrew from Liaodong and launched a counteroffensive against Yang Xuangan, who committed suicide in defeat.

The Sui Dynasty brutally suppressed the peasant uprising, defeated Lu Mingyue, Zhang Jincheng, Gao Shida, and Liu Yuanjin, and killed the peasant rebel army.

The peasant rebel armies such as Zhai Rang, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, and Lin Shihong in Wagangzhai repeatedly defeated the Sui Dynasty army and developed stronger.

Yang Guang wanted to intimidate the people with the terrorist policy of bloody massacres, but instead made more people join the peasant rebel army.

The peasant uprising grew to a national scale. In a vain attempt to curb the development of the uprising, Yang Guang ordered the counties, post pavilions, and village docks to build castles, and moved the people to live in the castles and farm nearby in an attempt to control them. He was unwilling to face up to the reality of the vigorous development of the peasant uprising, and the ministers around him did not tell the truth, falsely claiming that the number of rebellious peasants was "decreasing".

In July of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang went from the eastern capital to Jiangdu. In April of the following year, the Wagang army led by Li Mi forced the siege of the eastern capital and issued a document to the counties, listing Yang Guang's ten major crimes.

In May of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, and in November of the same year, he invaded Chang'an, supported Yang Yu as the emperor, and respected Yang Guang as the emperor.

Yang Guang's youthful ambitions became depressed due to constant failures, and he began to run away.

Yang Guang became more and more desolate and comatose in Jiangdu, and ordered Wang Shichong to select Jianghuai folk beauties to enrich the harem, drink every day for fun, and take a self-portrait in the mirror, premonition that the end is coming, Yang Guang, who is determined to lose, often takes a self-portrait in the mirror in his later years, and takes a self-portrait of Empress Xiao

He said to his subordinates: "Good head and neck, who should cut it off!"

In his later years, Yang Guang neither acted as a Great Wall Duke like Empress Chen, nor did he use the poison he brought with him.

In March of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang saw that the world was in turmoil, and he was disheartened and had no intention of returning to the north, so he ordered the repair of Danyang Palace in Nanjing and prepared to move there.

The drivers were all Guanzhong guards, who missed their hometown and fled back one after another.

At this time, Hu Benlang conspired with Yuan Li and others to take advantage of the resentment of the guards who missed their hometown, and pushed Yu Wenshu's son Yu Wenhua to take the lead and launch a mutiny.

When Yang Guang heard the change, he changed his clothes in a hurry and fled into the West Pavilion, where he was captured by the rebels Pei Qiantong, Yuan Li, Ma Wenju and others.

Yang Guang wanted to commit suicide by drinking poisonous wine, but the rebels did not allow it, so he ordered Hu Xingda to hang him at the age of 50.

The chaos caused by Yang Guang sharply reduced the population of China to more than 2 million households.

This ambitious emperor didn't even use a decent coffin after his death, so Empress Xiao and the palace people dismantled the bed board to make a small coffin, and secretly buried it under the Liuzhu Hall of Jiangdu Palace.

Chen Ling gathered the crowd to mourn for Yang Guang, prepared a guard of honor, and was buried under the platform of Wu Gong, sending the mourning staff to mourn, and walking with a sense of mourning.
