Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty toured the west, and the main purpose of this time was to understand the natural conditions and political trends of the Northwest Plateau, and to show the local government and the countries of the Western Regions the national strength, in order to make them subordinate to the Great Sui.

This is not the first time Yang Guang went out on patrol after ascending the throne, because in the second year of the great cause, he led the civil and military officials, the harem beauties traveled to Jiangdu, when the Grand Canal had just begun to be built, so the river only went half, and the remaining half was by land.

Historically, there are different opinions on Emperor Yang of Sui's three visits to Jiangdu, most of them are derogatory, and folk romance commentaries even refer to Emperor Yang of Sui's visit to Jiangdu as looking at Qionghua, looking at beautiful women, greedy for amusement, etc., which is mostly deliberately smeared and superficial criticism.

In fact, Yang Guang has a very strong complex for Yangzhou. In the early years, when Yang Guang was still the king of Jin, in October of the eighth year of the emperor's reign, he set up Huainan Xingtai Province in Shouchun, and appointed Yang Guang, the 20-year-old king of Jin, as the commander of the Xingtai Shangshu Order, as the commander of the Chen Sui army. Sui dispatched 90 governors' offices, with a total of 500,000 troops, all of whom were subject to the Jin king's festival.

In fact, Yang Guang was only the nominal commander, and the actual commander was the prime minister Gao Xi sent by Emperor Wen, and the generals who charged into battle were He Ruobi, Han Baohu, Yu Qingze and other generals.

The Six Dynasties were divided in Jiangnan for nearly 400 years, which made the difference between the north and south of the river very large. The Sui dynasty had to establish a new unity in the context of bridging political and cultural differences. After Emperor Wen of Sui destroyed Chen, he implemented the "Guanzhong-based policy" and adopted an attitude of exclusion and contempt for the people in Jiangnan.

Emperor Wen of Sui first divided the land of Chen, sent three sons to take charge, and at the same time, appointed Guanlong people as governors in eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, including Wuzhou, Hongzhou, Guangzhou, and Guizhou. This made the Shu landlords in Jiangnan who had obtained official positions through many camps feel very lost, like a lost dog.

As a result, the south remained unstable, and in the tenth year of the Emperor's reign, less than two years after Chen's death, a massive anti-Sui rebellion broke out in the territory of Old Chen, and the rebels showed extreme hatred for the Sui's discriminatory and high-handed policies. Emperor Wen of Sui sent Yang Su to suppress it, and sent Yang Guang to Yangzhou to govern.

Unlike Yang Su's bloody suppression, Yang Guang paid more attention to appeasement. It is the same as the method adopted in the battle to destroy Chen the year before last, and the method of surrendering the army without a fight is the same, with equal emphasis on suppression and appeasement, and attacking the heart first. He sat in Jiangdu and appeased rebels, such as Lu Zhiming, a famous man of the Wu County clan, who was very famous in Sanwu. Yang Guangyan invited him, and under his persuasion, there were seventeen rebels who surrendered to the city, and the soldiers who surrendered without a fight made great contributions.

Twenty-two-year-old Yang Guang widely accepted people from the south of the Yangtze River, which greatly eased the hostile feelings of the southerners. He was courteous and lenient to the self-orthodox Jiangnan literati. In order to better win over, he actually followed the example of Wang Dao, the famous prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and learned to speak the Wu dialect fluently. He ordered Pan Hui to take the lead and collect the Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River to compile a part of "Jiangdu Jili".

Yang Guang served as the governor of Yangzhou from the tenth year of the emperor's reign, guarding Jiangdu, to leaving Jiangdu in the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign and entering the court, and stayed in Jiangdu for ten years.

A person, if successful, standing at the peak of life, it is natural to have a special experience in the past, leave a special memory of the place, special nostalgia, Yangzhou is Yang Guangcong from the youth, spend the most leisurely, the most meaningful ten years, it is inevitable that he will be particularly nostalgic, want to return to his hometown, go back to show off, go back to nostalgia, recall the past.

This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time!

The second trip, is the third year of the great cause, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty on a whim, decided to tour the north, went to the border between the Turks and the Sui, Yulin County, to browse the grassland scenery, in order to facilitate travel, he collected hundreds of thousands of strong men, opened the road in the mountains, and built bridges in the water; More than 100,000 strong men chiseled up the Taihang Mountain and opened up the road to the state.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty led hundreds of thousands of troops and 100,000 war horses to form a phalanx, and he hid in the middle of the phalanx with his concubine, enjoying the Turkic nomadic scenery and deterring nomadic tribes such as Tiele, Turkic, and Khitan.

This time, the great cause of the four years to the west, after all, conquering Tuyuhun and expanding the territory is what any king hopes to do during his reign, and there is such a great achievement, so that you can enjoy the awe of future generations in the temple, and be admired by all the people of later generations, and leave a name in history.

Therefore, this time on the Western Tour, the scene is even bigger, surpassing the last two times.

The Praetorian Guard dispatched 300,000 soldiers, which can be said to have hollowed out the government soldiers of Luoyang and Chang'an, and the Yingyang soldiers along the way will also join in to form a more powerful division, majestic and heroic, and mighty.

Imperial relatives, civil and military officials, eunuchs, palace guards, and palace guards accompanied them, and the scale was large.

Such a march will not be very fast, along the way the local officials Taishou, county orders, eagle Yang Lang generals and so on to greet and set up banquets, the consumption is too large, even if the 500,000 army brings its own grain and grass, but just to supply wine, meat and local specialties, serving the princes and nobles well, is enough to empty a county for several years of taxes.

Twenty days later, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty entered the Qinghai Plateau and finally arrived at Fuqi City.

Luo Zhaoyun, Yuan Shou, Yang Yichen, and Duan Wenzhen waited for more than a month, and finally waited for Emperor Yang of Sui.

"Meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

The generals of the whole army all came out to bow down and take over, the scene was grand, many soldiers on the border, natives and natives, had never seen such a scene in their lives, let alone had the opportunity to pay tribute to the dragon face of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, they were all dumbfounded, and their faces were full of excitement.

Those Tuyuhun nobles and people in the city also left the city early, knelt on the ground, and looked at the crowds of Great Sui soldiers, with bright armor and 100,000 cavalry, mighty and majestic. Looking at Emperor Yang of Sui again, he was not sitting in the chariot, but sitting on a high palace, which was even taller and more spacious than the real house of Tuyuhun, resplendent in gold, and could move, and they were all stunned and shouted Holy Khan.

"Holy Khan! St. Khan—"

The palace car where Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sits, is the Xingyuan Palace built by Yu Wenkai, you can enjoy the scenery and can move, named the Guanfeng Xing Palace, the palace can accommodate hundreds of guards. The Guanfeng Xing Hall can also be disassembled, or it can be fitted together, and there are wheels underneath, which can be pushed very quickly, just like a fairy hall. ，

When along the way, it has been disassembled, and when it enters the territory of Tuyuhun, it is assembled, the purpose is to install a handful!

Yang Guang listened to the shouts of these Tuyuhun people, felt the scene of worship, laughed, and an unprecedented sense of accomplishment came to his heart.

This is something that the first emperor could not do, but he did it, conquered Tuyuhun, reopened the Silk Road, and let the people of different races in Fanbang kneel to worship, accept the favor of the emperor of the Central Plains, and he wants to surpass the first emperor and remember the history.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel proud and complacent, and suddenly felt that I was one step closer to Ming Jun and Saint King! (To be continued.) )
