Emperor Yang of Sui's "ostentatious imagination" is indeed extraordinary, he reigned for less than 13 years, and his actions are already like a "emperor through the ages" (in Yu Qiuyu's words). The so-called "Great Leap" of later generations, Emperor Yang of Sui is actually the ancestor.

Just a few months after his coronation in the capital Chang'an, he began to build the new capital of the eastern capital, Luoyang, and only four days after the order was issued, he issued an edict to dig the Grand Canal.

Two grand projects were started at the same time, and Luoyang was built with 2 million people per month, and four or five out of ten people died, and it took only ten months to erect a brilliant capital out of thin air. Dig a canal to pass the canal, divert the water and Luoshui to the Yellow River, lead the Yellow River into Bianshui, and divert Bianshui into Surabaya to reach the Huai River. Forty steps wide, build the royal road next to it, and build more than 40 palaces from Chang'an to Jiangdu.

Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty said that "this is the great plan of the military state" was realized, with Luoyang as the center, connecting the north and south of China.

Millions of people dug the Tongji Canal and the Han Ditch, and it was completed in only 171 days. In the third year of the Great Cause, he spent five months inspecting northern Xinjiang, and on the way issued an edict to levy millions of manpower to build the Great Wall east of Yulin.

But the Great Wall was only a whim of the political project, and it was useless to him, because he took the initiative to cross the Great Wall and conquered Tuyuhun and the 38 countries of the Western Regions.

Only two or three years after his reign, he built a magnificent new capital for the Great Sui Empire and opened a golden waterway.

Connected the rich Jiangnan with the two capitals, built the Great Wall, patrolled the northern frontier, fortunately the Jiangnan, the Turks bowed their heads, and the Japanese came to the dynasty, and the king of Goryeo, Gao Yuan, in the era of his father Emperor Wen of Sui, humbled and begged for peace, and called himself "Liaodong Dung Tuchen Yuan".

Under the whole world, it is not a king, is there anything in this world that he can't control? Some people told him that there was smoke on the sea, and many people felt that it was ethereal, but Emperor Yang of Sui immediately sent people to find out what was going on and prepared to collect taxes, but as a result, he destroyed Liuqiu. He did everything he could do, from conquest to alchemy, to poetry and composition.

He once said that the world said that I was the ruler of the four seas by royal blood, but even if I competed with the scholars, I should be the son of heaven.

It can be seen that he is conceited about his literary talent. Heroes are most afraid of loneliness, and invincible people in the world are the loneliest, especially for a "political aesthete".

Although the Sui Dynasty was short-lived, the country was rich. Since the Han Dynasty, the prosperity of Dingkou and the prosperity of the Cangli Mansion are as good as Sui. The fifth year of the Great Cause was the peak year of the Sui Empire, with unprecedented expansion of territory, and the household registration reached a historical peak of 9 million households.

The world's accumulation in the last years of Emperor Wen of Sui was enough for fifty or sixty years of national use. The unprecedented wealth and strong men that can be driven have provided a solid foundation for Emperor Yang of Sui's power desire performance.

He can do whatever he wants. History said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty "settled down". Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty established a moving court for the first time in Chinese history.

From the Hexi Corridor to the Kanto East, from Jiangdu to Suzhou and Hangzhou, you can see his immense guard of honor and guards everywhere.

He reigned for thirteen years, and his time in Chang'an, Beijing, added up to less than a year, and no more than four years in Luoyang, and three trips to Yangzhou, his favorite hometown of wealth, accumulated only more than four years, and the remaining four or five years were on the road to travel the world.

In the first month of the sixth year of the great cause, he played a hundred operas in Duanmen Street, with a radius of 5,000 steps, and an orchestra of 18,000 people, which was heard for dozens of miles.

There are lynxes, and the streets are full of torrents; There are also gods and mountains, phantoms and fire, which are ever-changing, and the audience is dizzy.

The drama is dim, and the lights are shining on the sky. All the trees are covered with colored cloth, all the hotels are newly decorated, and even the vegetable stalls are covered with dragon beard mats.

And the purpose of this grand carnival is only to show off to the chiefs who were summoned to Luoyang. Merchants from the Western Regions dined at the hotel for free, because "China is rich, and there is no need to pay for food and drink."

During his northern tour, Emperor Yang of Sui used the same method to build a large market similar to the World Expo in Yulin, and even asked genius engineers to design strange things.

One is the Hall of Wind Viewing, that is, a large float equipped with wheels that can accommodate hundreds of guards; As the name suggests, it is a castle that can be walked, and it takes 2,000 steps to go around it. These huge things traveled around the outside of the Cypriot Islands, and the Turks looked at them as having divine help.

The reward of 20 million horses of silk to the Turkic Khan is a large-scale gesture that has never been seen in ancient times. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty made eight grand tours, went to Jiangnan three times, and went to northern and western Xinjiang five times.

It was not so much a parade as a military and financial demonstration. During the northern tour of 500,000 soldiers, he met the envoy of Goryeo in the tent of the Turkic Khan, which triggered the idea of the eastward expedition to Goryeo, and laid the foreshadowing of the decline of the Great Sui.

In the eighth year of the Great Cause, the first eastward expedition to Goryeo, the 1.1 million army was overwhelmed, but when attacking the important town of Liaoyang, Yang Guang issued an order that as long as the Goryeo army surrendered, it would not attack again.

As a result, the Goryeo army repeatedly changed its hexagrams, and the Sui army ran out of ammunition and food under the city. Mingfu Hou'er landed near Pyongyang by water, but the enemy advanced lightly, and the whole army was annihilated.

In the second eastern crusade in the ninth year of the Great Cause, when he was about to conquer Pyongyang, Yang Xuangan, who was in charge of logistics, rebelled and attacked Luoyang, and Emperor Yang of Sui was forced to return to the army; In the third eastward crusade in the tenth year of the Great Cause, Laihu'er led the army to attack the hinterland of Goryeo, and the king of Goryeo, Gao Yuan, was frightened and asked to surrender.

The three Eastern Crusades were launched under the situation of turbulent civil upheaval throughout the country, and the "smoke and dust of the 48 families" were uncontrollable from then on, and the country's situation took a sharp turn for the worse. In the second year of Goryeo's surrender (the 11th year of the Great Cause), Emperor Yang of Sui made another northern tour and was besieged by 100,000 cavalry of the Turkic Khan.

There were forty-one cities in Yanmen County, and thirty-nine fell. During the siege, Emperor Yang of Sui promised the officers and soldiers to be added to the ranks, but after returning to the capital, he broke his promise, and since then the soldiers have been separated. In the New Year of the twelfth year of the Great Cause, there was no grand occasion when all countries came to the court, and even the envoys of the counties in the country did not come to 20 counties.

The fog of desolation was all over Hualin, and once the "political aesthete" was hit hard, his ambition and imagination quickly collapsed.

The ministers advised him to stick to Chang'an or Luoyang, and the situation was not irreparable, but Emperor Yang of Sui punished several people in a row, insisting on looking for a little glory in the gentle township of Jiangnan. In the twelfth year of Daye, he went down to Yangzhou for the third time, and never returned to the north until he was killed in the fourteenth year of Daye.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty experienced a rich life, not only participated in the war to liberate the south, but also commanded the wars of the Western Expedition and the Northern Expedition; It not only built a new capital, excavated canals, but also built the Great Wall; I not only visited the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but also appreciated the scenery of the northern country.

The Southern Expedition and the Northern War, the Great Project of the Century, the South-to-North Water Diversion, the International City, and the World Expo were played all over by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in ten years as early as 1,400 years ago.

Unfortunately, these still did not make him a great emperor. From the first time I went down to Yangzhou, the dragon ship was built four times, 45 feet high, 200 feet long, 80,000 slender men, 200 miles of boats, 100,000 infantry and 200,000 cavalry wings on both sides of the river, to the bleak days when I shrank back to Yangzhou and said to Empress Xiao, "I don't know who will cut it off with my good head", which is enough for later generations to learn from the "political aesthetes" who ruled the country with imagination.

Emperor Yang of Sui was the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and the era name was Daye. Looking at this era name, we can see the ambition of Emperor Yang of Sui, that is, to establish a great cause for thousands of years.

In fact, Emperor Yang of Sui did exactly that. Long before he succeeded to the throne, Emperor Yang of Sui led his army to destroy Chen, unify the north and south of China, and end China's centuries-old division. After succeeding to the throne, Emperor Yang of Sui took the establishment of a thousand years of great cause as his own responsibility.

Emperor Yang of Sui reigned for only 13 years, but he did many great things that emperors could not do for decades or even longer: digging the canal Emperor Yang of Sui dug the North-South Grand Canal, like Qin Shi Huang's construction of the Great Wall, is a great industry that will be famous for thousands of years.

Since the opening of the canal, the land of China is really closely connected, through the Yangtze River, across the Huai River, across the Yellow River, China's south and north have since become one, not only to communicate the economy of the north and south, but more importantly, to contribute to China's unification of the territory, China has not become a few countries with the Yangtze River as the boundary or the Yellow River as the boundary, the canal can be said to be indispensable.

& Attack on Linyi (present-day northern Vietnam) Emperor Yang of Sui's use of troops against Linyi was a concrete embodiment of the Sui Dynasty's strategic strategy of expanding its territory and consolidating its frontier defenses, and its direct result was that the Sui Dynasty's sphere of influence extended much further in the southern coastal territory, and even exceeded the traditional territorial boundaries formed by the southern end of Rinan County.

The development of Liuqiu in the Sui Dynasty was another important act of expanding the border and consolidating national defense after Sun Wu, and its far-reaching historical significance was to further strengthen the political, economic and cultural ties between Liuqiu and the mainland. To this day, Taiwan is also part of China, and history can testify to it.

Conquest of Tuyuhun Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Tuyuhun and set up the "New Four Counties" (different from the "Four Counties of Hexi" set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), which partially unified Qinghai and Xinjiang into China and further expanded China's territory.

The three expeditions to Goryeo, the three expeditions of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to Goryeo in the northeast were the most tragic things for Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and they were also the most scolded things.

In order to conquer Goryeo, Emperor Yang of Sui used millions of troops and people every time, but to no avail, but in exchange for a large-scale uprising of the people, and finally lost the country. The common people suffered, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was scolded, the regret of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and the regret of Chinese history.

At first, I knew that some Koreans were clamoring for the recovery of their homeland, Northeast China, and I was puzzled, but when I opened the historical atlas, I found that Goryeo, the ancestor of North Korea, had occupied our northeast, but that Goryeo was just a local government formed by splitting from the original Chinese territory, just like the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sixteen Kingdoms.

Unfortunately, although Emperor Yang of Sui unified Liaodong, he did not take back the Korean Peninsula, so that although the later Tang Dynasty conquered Goryeo and recovered the peninsula, it was too long to integrate into the big family of the Chinese nation. Historical experience is worth learning from. ）

The construction of the eastern capital Luoyang Emperor of Sui Yang built the eastern capital Luoyang, not because he was poor and luxurious, but because he controlled Shandong, it was a necessary measure to strengthen the central government's ability to control the government.

You must know that during the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, most of the time was spent on foreign tours (that is, field investigations to formulate policies for governing the country), and there was no time to enjoy it. 7. Perfecting the imperial examination systemThe imperial examination system was established during the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, but it was not perfect.

It was Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who created the Jinshi Branch, which had a profound impact on ancient Chinese politics, culture, and education. The above are all things that Emperor Yang of Sui has done, everything is a big thing, if Emperor Yang of Sui only does one, it will be famous for eternity. But Emperor Yang of Sui did it all, and it only took 1 >

It cannot be denied that Emperor Yang of Sui is a tyrant, he has done so many great things in 13 years, and the average amount is on the head of every common people, and the heavy burden of the people and the suffering of labor can be imagined. The construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway took more than a billion Chinese to build the modern era for several years, while the Sui Emperor only took four years to build the canal, and the population at that time was only tens of millions.

For his people, Emperor Yang of Sui owed too much. But for Chinese history, Emperor Yang of Sui did enough. I agree with another statement, Emperor Yang of Sui is not not not great, but too great.

Whether he is a writer, a military artist, a musician, a mathartist (astronomical, astrology, etc.), he has a sense of glory of the Han nation. In fact, he is a Chinese-style xitele, and his tragedy is that it only took 13 years to do these things, and the character of Emperor Yang of Sui who is so happy is the root cause of the tragedy of the Great Sui

All emperors have the problem of great success, unless their ambition is not to be emperor. Ordinary people also have a good face.

Confucius said that in fact, there will not be too many sins!! If the latter is going to fall, he will say that he is just bad!! It's because he's so crazy that all the heavens want him to die! Within a few decades after his death, the Tang Dynasty still ate the grain grown by the Sui Dynasty?

If only he had shown more concern for the people as the Father did, the consequences would not have been like this!! He has too many innovative things, and he is also a rare talent, and he will die if he has too much!! The age when successful people speak!! It is said that history is written by whom.

Most of China's history was written after a dynasty was over, not the previous ones. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty is a typical sin in the present generation, and the merit is in the future
