410 A march to Goryeo
In the sixth year of the Great Cause, the Great Sui Dynasty was at its peak, and Yang Guang's mind was also swelled to the maximum, so he issued an edict ordering Gao Yuan, the king of Goryeo, to pay tribute to the dynasty and explain the secret communication with the Turks three years ago.
In addition, Yang Guang took the opportunity of visiting the Grand View Garden in Jiangdu, and secretly made second-hand preparations for mobilizing military generals and collecting grain and grass.
Yang Guangqiang ordered the rich people of the world to buy military horses for the country, and the price of a military horse actually soared to 100,000 yuan because of this; At the same time, officials in various localities were ordered to carefully select and inspect weapons, "order them to be new," and if they were found to be shoddy, the people in charge of the inspection would be beheaded.
After more than a year of construction, Lincang City has long been rising like a superstar in Nanzhong.
Su You exchanged the 1,500 captives from the war for a large amount of grain from Duan Ruqi as early as half a year ago to ensure that the green and yellow crops were not available, and then Lu Sheng and Su Yunfan returned successively, not only bringing a large number of living materials, but also many profit-seeking businessmen
After a year, Lincang City has also become great in people's word of mouth, not only Nanzhong, but even people from further afield hope to come here to open their eyes.
As a result, the floating population in Lincang City was also many times larger before, and Su You could even recruit hundreds of laborers to continue producing steel; During this time, Su You and Su Yunfan were also racking their hearts to invent products that could only appear in later generations, and strive to make these products become food and wealth.
Because of the participation of a large number of merchants and unemployed people from all over the world, Lincang City gradually became prosperous, and faintly became the largest city in Nanzhong.
Of course, Su You didn't build a city here to play the Monopoly game, the reason why he wanted to attract talents, or wanted to use it for me, in fact, under Su You's high salary, more and more unemployed vagrants joined his escort team, making the number of this team slowly increase to a thousand
But that's not Su You's ultimate goal.
At this time, it was February of the seventh year of the Great Cause, when Su You was secretly working hard to strengthen himself, Yang Guang set off from Jiangdu on a dragon boat and went north to Zhuo County.
On February 26, Yang Guang officially promulgated an edict to conquer Goryeo in the name of Gao Yuan's refusal to come to the court. The whole army was asked to gather in Zhuo County, and 10,000 sailors, 30,000 crossbowmen, and 30,000 crossbowmen were sent south of the Jianghuai River.
Since Hu'er, he received the task of building 300 ships for Donglai, who was the county guard.
As a result, the migrant workers soaked in water day and night, and the maggots rotted from the waist down, and the death rate was as high as 40 percent. Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers transporting military supplies and food filled the road, day and night, the dead pillowed each other, the stench filled the road, and the world was in turmoil.
Shandong, which is closest to Zhuo County, naturally received the special "love" of Emperor Yang of Sui because of its geographical convenience. - There is another reason, probably because Shandong was originally the homeland of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Yang Guang did not really put these people in his heart.
coincided with the sudden fall of the flood, the destruction of the countryside, the soaring prices, but the officials were expropriating and extorting in every possible way, and the common people complained. As a result, the whole of Shandong became a big powder keg.
If it does not explode in silence, it is doomed to perish in silence.
Now, this powder keg, which has long been dry and can no longer be dry, is waiting for such a small spark.
Finally, in the month of the destined year, March of the seventh year of the Great Cause, this Mars appeared, and his name was Wang Bo. Wang Bo was originally a small blacksmith in Zouping, Qi County. Because he could not bear the government's wanton expropriation, he gathered hundreds of people, occupied Changbai Mountain, and officially raised the banner of anti-Sui, and the vigorous peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty kicked off from this moment.
Wang Bo gave himself the nickname "Zhishilang", which means that he knows everything and knows everything. In order to attract more people to join the gang, he also specially composed a song "Don't Die to Liaodong", which translated into modern Chinese is "Don't Go to Liaodong to Die in Vain".
The lyrics probably sing like this - "Zhishilang at the head of Changbai Mountain, wearing a pure red Luo brocade crotch, invades the sky and a half, and the wheel knife shines in the sun." Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep. Suddenly, when he heard that the official army was coming, he raised his sword and swung forward. For example, if Liaodong died, he was injured by beheading. ”
Although the rhetoric of this song is rough, it is bold and the style is very unique, which can probably be compared with the "chrysanthemum killing" of the Wangchao in later generations, and suddenly brought a burst of fresh air to the long-dull Dasui music scene.
Wang Bo became popular overnight, and his portrait was soon plastered all over the city walls of Shandong's prefectures, counties, and counties, and that originally worthless head now became priceless. With this title song, Wang Bo has established himself as an unshakable leader in the Shandong music scene and even the Great Sui music scene, and his "Don't Die Song to Liaodong Waves" has occupied the top of the Great Sui pop music charts for several consecutive years.
The power of idols is enormous, inspired by Wang Bo, more and more people rise up, sing their title songs, and devote themselves to opposing Yang Guang's violence. political struggle. The flames of the uprising sprung up one after another.
In the same year, Pingyuan County Liu overlord rebelled.
Liu Badao's family is next to the bean pit in the east of Pingyuan County, and has been an official for generations with rich assets. Liu Badao likes rangers, hundreds of diners in his family, and many people are attached to Liu Badao, who has more than 100,000 people, known as "Uncle Thief".
0202 In the same year, Sun Anzu of Qinghe County rebelled.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Sun Anzu, a native of Zhangnan in the Qing River, suffered from floods in the summer of this year, his wife starved to death, and the government still forced him to serve in the military. Because the government was very anxious to pursue him, Jiande helped him to revolt, and entered Gaojibo to call himself a general to touch the sheep. 0202 In the same year, Xindu people Gao Tuda Dou Jiande rebelled successively.
Gao Shida, a native of Xindu, led the people to revolt in Qinghe, based on Gaojibo, and then joined Dou Jiande's department, claiming to be the Duke of the East China Sea. Dou Jiande was elected as the commander of 200 people because of his bravery, because he helped Sun Anzu to revolt, he was hunted down by the government, and his family was killed. In the same year, Zhang Jin, a native of Qinghe, called the uprising, using the river meanders as a base, and the number reached tens of thousands.
In any case, these uprisings were very small in scale and seem to be called violent in strict terms. It would be more appropriate. Yang Guang didn't take these small-scale civil uprisings to heart at all. At this time, he had one thing in mind, that is, to take Goryeo in one fell swoop!
Therefore, the huge conscription work was still in full swing, and Wang Bo's rebel army was led by Pei Changcai and Shi Zihe to kill Qi County.
The Great Sui implemented the government military system, soldiers sent troops during war, and farmed in leisure time, but being a soldier can be exempted from tax service, so many people still like to be soldiers. Zhang Xutuo loves soldiers like sons, and at this time he is letting his subordinates go home to farm. Pei Changcai and Shi Zihe seized this loophole to attack Licheng.
Then, Zhang Xutuo came out with two guards, plus his two students Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin, there were only five horsemen in total.
Zhang Xutuo's martial arts are strong, Luo Shi's faith is incomparable, not to mention Qin Shubao's comprehensiveness, as soon as the three of them came out, they were immediately encircled, and then slaughtered all sides, as if entering a no-man's land
When reinforcements arrived, the rebels were routed.
After Zhang Xutuo returned to Qi County, he immediately took it upon himself to open a warehouse and release grain.
When Zhang Xutuo defeated the righteous army, Yang Guang had already arrived in the Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County, and after hearing the news that Zhang Xutuo had opened a position privately, he did not care.
It was not until February of the eighth year of the Great Cause that all the troops gathered by Yang Guang arrived, with a total of 1.13 million, known as 2 million troops, and they were killed in two ways to the capital of Goryeo.
The vanguard army advanced, the rear army advanced, separated by forty miles, and finally the sixth army of the imperial camp where Yang Guang was sitting.
It took forty days for the army to come out of Zhuo County, and these armies waved their flags and stretched for 960 miles, which can be described as the appearance of those who have never come before or after.
When he arrived on the way, Yang Guang ordered Duan Wenzhen, the secretary of the military department, to go out of Nansu Road for Zuo Houwei.
Duan Wenzhen was already seriously ill at this time, and after receiving the order, he gave Yang Guang more than ten days to pass on his death; At the same time, the vanguard general had rushed to the Liaodong City of Goryeo, and the general of the Right Tun Guard, Mai Tiecane, sacrificed his life for the country
When Yang Guang heard that Mai Tiezhu had died in battle, he immediately posthumously named him the Duke of Sujun, and ordered his eldest son Mai Mengcai to become the lord.
Under the vigorous attack of the Sui army, the walls of Liaodong City collapsed, and the Goryeo defenders hoisted white flags and surrendered. However, the generals did not dare to accept Yang Guang's will and did not dare to continue the attack, so they had to stop the battle and report Yang Guang to the imperial camp in a hurry.
By the time the instructions returned, the defenders had filled the gap and resumed resistance. Three times in a row, the orders of the great army were delayed, so that the lonely city, which was not strong, could not be shaken.
When Yang Guang arrived at Liaodong City, he could only look at the city and sigh,—— the city wall of Liaodong City is not high, and the trench is not deep, why can't it be attacked?
In fact, these conscripted soldiers have already "exhausted themselves".
On the other side, the 200,000 sailors led by Lai Hu'er directly attacked the Goryeo royal city with frog jumping tactics, and when they were forced to reach the royal city, they found that the four gates of the royal city were wide open. In the face of Gaoli's empty city plan, Zhou Fashang tried his best to dissuade him, but Laihu'er went deep alone, so he thought that he was ambushed before entering the city gate?
After several rushes and killings, Laihu'er fled in embarrassment and did not dare to move forward.
Yu Wenshu, Yu Zhongwen, Xue Shixiong, Zhao Xiaocai, Wei Wensheng, Cui Hongsheng and other nine roads went out together and went to the Goryeo Royal City together. Yuwen Shu won seven victories in seven stations, and when he arrived at the royal city, he was deceived by the ministers sent by the king of Goryeo, and he was also ambushed and fled in a battle.
In the Nine-Way Army, only Wei Wensheng is the only one.
Yang Guang looked at his own tired soldiers under the city of Liaodong, and successively heard that the generals in front of him had received a message of defeat, and even lost most of his ordnance, and finally had to collect the army and return it, leaving only Fan Zigai, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to stay in Zhuo County.
A conquest of Liaodong, anticlimactic.
