The big ship rode the wind and waves, puffed up the sails, and left the port of Beishui all the way forward, this time the emperor returned to Beijing, except for the 20,000 Janissaries who followed the emperor back to Beijing, its main force still remained in Goguryeo, on the one hand, there were still some cities in the northeast of Pyongyang and Goguryeo that were not captured, on the other hand, the Sui army adopted a high-pressure policy in the occupied area, and the young and strong were withdrawn and collected as military rations.

Since the Sui army's expedition to Goguryeo, the previous calm of Bohai Bay has been broken, and the Sui ships on the route from Zhuojun to Beishui have never been broken, except for a small storm, which damaged seven small boats under 1,000 materials and two ships because they collided too closely, there has never been an accident, and this voyage has become a safe route, and most of the Sui army has eliminated the fear of navigation.

At this time, it was the beginning of November of the fifth year of the great cause, the sky was fluttering with the first snow of the year, the north wind was blowing coldly, the river surface of Yongji Canal had formed thin ice, but the boats on the river were still coming and going, the wooden hulls broke the ice, making a squeak, squeak, squeak, Zhuojun wharf was crowded, and countless people braved the cold wind to stand on both sides of the riverbank, stretching their necks to look forward.

Several golden-winged clippers sailed through the river, and there was a row of warriors in full armor and armed blades on the left and right of the golden-winged clippers, and behind these golden-winged clippers was a huge ship with carved beams and paintings, more than 30 zhang long, more than 10 zhang wide, and four stories high. Above the ship, a golden-red dragon flag fluttered high. Seeing this dragon flag and the big ship, the people on both sides of the strait suddenly became extremely fanatical, and squeezed forward vigorously, and a deafening shout came: "Long live!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

This is the return of the emperor's imperial expedition, after sailing at sea for more than ten days, the emperor's fleet returned to Zhuojun without any danger, and behind the emperor's imperial ship, more ships were exposed. One after the other, it's dizzying.

In the past half a year, the emperor went to the front line in person, one victory after another came, all kinds of prisoners and booty were transported from the sea through large ships, the emperor's prestige has reached its peak in the hearts of the people, hearing that today is the date of the emperor's triumphant return, most of the people in Zhuo County are excited. Regardless of the bitter cold, he came to the dock to see the holy face in person.

At this time, Yang Yong was sitting on the top floor of the dragon boat, with a lazy expression, standing next to a row of Wenchen military generals, a team of Goguryeo women were playing soft music, and another group of Goguryeo women were dancing with the song, these Goguryeo women had clear faces, most of them were between sixteen or seventeen years old, facing Yang Yong, there was always a timid look on their faces.

These women were captured by various generals in the frontline from the homes of Goguryeo nobles, and then carefully selected by them and presented to the emperor. This expedition was to fight far from the country, and it was ordered to rob the population and resources, and the military discipline of the Sui army was naturally not good, and a large number of young Goguryeo women were also regarded as trophies, although the emperor did not express it explicitly. Naturally, the generals will not miss the emperor's share. For the kindness of the front-line generals, Yang Yong naturally would not be unkind, and accepted them all, and set out this time. The emperor didn't even bring a concubine, in fact, Yang Yong regretted it a lot when he arrived at the front, in this era when there was not much entertainment. As the emperor, the female sex is also one of the only few pleasures, so that in the new city of Liaodong, I have to hunt every day, and now when I go to Beishui, I can't fish every day when I live on the boat.

Hearing the shouts of Banzai suddenly erupting outside, Yang Yong raised his eyes and looked through the window. The scene of a sea of people on both sides of the strait suddenly came into view. With a wave of his hand, he asked the Goguryeo woman who was playing and dancing to step back, and scolded with a smile: "What the hell are the officials of Zhuojun doing?" I said that the weather was very cold, and there was no need for people to come to the two sides of the strait to meet me. ”

When Xue Shixiong heard this, he hurriedly said: "The emperor has misunderstood, who dares to disobey the emperor's will, this must be the people who heard the emperor's triumphant return and spontaneously greeted him." ”

As soon as Xue Shixiong finished speaking, a light snort came, with indescribable contempt in his tone, Xue Shixiong looked at the voice in embarrassment, but the snort came from the mouth of a woman in white, the woman in white had a heroic face, long legs, a curvy body, and a disdainful expression on her face.

Seeing that it was her, Xue Shixiong didn't make a record, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the people spontaneously welcome Your Majesty's victorious return, whether Your Majesty wants to go out to meet the people." ”

Yang Yong nodded: "Okay, let's all Aiqing come out together." After speaking, the emperor stretched out his hand and took the woman in white: "Concubine Ai should also come along." ”

This woman is none other than Princess Seondeok of Silla who fell into the hands of the Sui army, after Princess Seondeok revealed her identity, the Sui army attached great importance to it and immediately sent it to the emperor, but the navy army was mistaken for a while, thinking that the emperor stayed in Beishui, and did not see Princess Seondeok until the emperor returned with the captives.

Princess Seondeok is talented and good-looking, Yang Yong is short of people waiting for him, and her identity is of great use, Yang Yong will directly accept it as a concubine after meeting, although Princess Seondeok is reluctant in her heart, but she did not refuse, fell into the hands of the Sui army, this is the best choice, if you can rely on your body to influence the emperor not to pursue the Silla betrayal of the alliance, it is what Princess Seondeok can't ask for, that night, Yang Yong called her to bed, and was named a golden beauty.

It's just that after being so easily committed to the Great Sui Emperor, Jindeman can't help but feel resentful in his heart, and from time to time he wants to stab the Great Sui monarchs and ministers.

Seeing the emperor's outstretched hand, Princess Seondeok hesitated for a moment, but still held the emperor's hand, she knew that she should not be too pampered and coquettish, otherwise if the emperor was really angry, it would not be a good thing for her or Silla.

Yang Yong smiled slightly, took Princess Shande's hand and walked out of the warehouse, in the Daxing Palace, Yang Yong's concubines have dozens of people, and there are thousands of beautiful palace maids, only the emperor can enjoy it if he is interested, pure beauty can no longer arouse Yang Yong's interest, Jindeman is undoubtedly a more special one, her experience alone can arouse Yang Yong's strong interest.

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! Seeing the emperor emerge from the ship's cabin, the people on both sides of the strait were even more enthusiastic, and shouted frantically, and even the sky seemed to be infected, and the fluttering light snow had stopped for a while, and the sun showed a half of its face from the clouds, and suddenly brightened.

Yang Yong smiled and waved his hand to signal below, feeling that the people's respect for himself is indeed from the heart, the Chinese people have always asked for little from the superiors, as long as they can have a bite to eat, they will not rebel, if they can eat and wear ambiguous it is a rare prosperous age, but throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, they can be in such a time very rarely.

I have changed history, at least the turmoil that swept the country will not come in more than ten years, but I can influence the history of ten years, a hundred years, and after hundreds of years, history will not return to its original track.

The following cheers had a harsh feeling for Jindeman, the Sui army was too big, even if the three kingdoms of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje united, they would still be defeated in the end, especially the fanatical people below, they were so supportive of their emperor, could they really save the fate of Silla's demise on their own?

A cold wind blew, Jindeman couldn't help but shrink his neck, and suddenly saw a trace of confusion flashing on the emperor's face, and felt strange in his heart, as the emperor of the Great Sui, he ruled over a territory of thousands of miles, ruled by 60 million people, held a million troops, and the surrounding countries were left to their own meat, could he feel confused in the face of the cheers of the people.

No, history will not change the original trajectory, I have changed the world too much, I still have decades to make changes to this world, a hundred years, a thousand years later, no one can stop the Chinese nation from moving in the direction of strength, the East is the center of the world, the civilization of the East will far surpass the civilization of the West, Yang Yong's expression relaxed, and he continued to wave his hand below, until the ship docked, and the officials of Zhuo County came on the boat to meet the emperor, and Yang Yong returned to the cabin.

"The ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up."

"Emperor Xie!" After seeing the emperor, these people hurriedly greeted Xue Shixiong again, after all, Xue Shixiong was the county guard of Zhuo County.

Yang Yong turned around and said: "Xue Aiqing, I will hand over these tens of thousands of captives to you, I hope you can make good use of these captives, as for your four sons, just follow me to the capital, I will not treat them badly." ”

This time, the emperor returned triumphantly, in addition to the Praetorian Guard, there were tens of thousands of prisoners on board, these prisoners lived under the lowest cabin, crowded together, eating the worst meals, and even and urine were solved in the cabin, fortunately, the weather is cold now, and the distance of the voyage is not too long, so there is no need to worry about how many people will die.

The river workers who built the canal were already enough, and Yang Yong put these prisoners in Zhuo County, which was equivalent to giving Zhuo County tens of thousands of free labor, Xue Shixiong was immediately overjoyed: "Thank you emperor." "I don't want my four sons to leave me together.

After resting for a day in Zhuojun, while the canal was not yet completely frozen, the emperor's car continued on its way.
