What exactly is fate? Are we the ones who make fate, or is it fate that rules us? Li Mi rolled over, thinking about this question in his mind. Half a year ago, he was still a hereditary Pushan Duke and enjoyed the high benefits of the imperial court, and three months ago, he thought that fate had opened its arms to him. But right now, he's a prisoner. After being defeated by the Sui Dynasty army that day, Li Mi changed his name and prepared to flee, but he was soon recognized through the disguise, which is probably related to Li Mi's appearance.

Now, he is going to be escorted to Gaoyang, where Yang Guang's palace is located, to accept Yang Guang's ruling, and with Yang Guang's character, Li Mi should be able to see Yang Xuangan soon. At this time, it was the morning of midwinter, and on the grass outside the door, a bead of morning dew was condensed, and the breeze blew, and the grass and trees shook gently, rolling down and shattering into the ground.

& Wait, the same as the morning dew! With a mouthful of muttering, Li Mi poked his fellow inmate who was sleeping like a pig next to him with his toes, and the cellmate fell asleep and muttered, "What?" "Our life is the same as that of Chao Luxi!" Li Mi raised his voice slightly. The inmate rolled his eyes and didn't respond to this boring question, when is it, still playing with the wind and snow, the morning dew and the sunset?

Turning sideways, the cellmate left Li Mi with a deep back, ready to sleep again, the days were numbered, he probably didn't want to be a sleeper, but soon, he turned over again

Because Li Mi said slowly: "When we arrive in Gaoyang, we will die, and we will have a chance to get out while we are still on the road, so why bother waiting for death." "Prison break, fellow inmates are interested. They gathered around. The hope of life has emerged.

When Li Mi lamented the fleeting of Chaolu, he had already made up his mind to escape from prison, and the moment Chaolu was shattered. Li Mi also thought of a plan to escape from prison. Li Mi explained the plan to the crowd to escape from prison, and then pointed out that there is an important item needed to escape from prison: money. In the end, Li Mi was embarrassed to express that he was shy.

This is not Lee's secret secret. Li Mi really has no money. Li Mi is not poor, he himself is a high-ranking cadre, but he has never carried such a burden as cash, in the past, with this identity, it was like a gold card in his hand, overdraft at any time, and now as a prisoner, of course, the escort personnel are not equipped with credit card machines. Thankfully, there are people who value cash.

After listening to Li Mi's plan. The inmates generously untied their shirts, took out large bags and small bags from their underwear, and opened them to see that they were shining gold. It seems that some time ago, with Yang Xuangan's revolution, the brothers still made a lot of extra money.

According to history, this is the first time that Li Mi has shown his superhuman appeal, and he only used a verbal proposal to get real money venture capital. Right now. He's going to use these investments to impress another group of people: the guards. This difficulty is quite high, the inmates have a common survival **, and the guards and Li Mi are naturally opposed, just to buy them. It also has to make people dare to collect money. Li Mi beckoned to the guards outside.

The guards were getting together to drink and scold the leader from time to time, sulking a little. Because the job they took on was drudgery. Generally speaking, there is extra money to be made by escorting prisoners. Either the prisoner's relatives have a special "care" of the silver, or the prisoner's sworn enemies have special "care" of the silver. But a criminal like Li Mi who conspired against him, not only his relatives hid far away, but even his enemies disappeared without a trace.

If there is no bitter master and no opponent, there will naturally be no benefit. In the cold weather, escorting worthless goods, it was inevitable that there would be some unpleasantness, until Li Mi proposed a proposal that could not be refused.

Li Mi invited the guards and took out the gold and silver: "After we die, these gold and silver will be left to the princes, and we have only one request, that is, to accept the corpses for us, so as not to become lonely ghosts in the wild." This is the equivalent of a gift will, which gives you the right to inherit a large sum of wealth, but with a small amount of labor.

In this cold winter, Li Mi sent these guards a long-lost warmth. These gold and silver, in terms of wages, are estimated to take ten or eight years for the guards to earn, and they have to save money. What was originally a business trip full of complaints was transformed by the appearance of this windfall. The guards did not hesitate and agreed to this plan very righteously.

At this moment, their relationship is transformed, they are no longer the relationship between the guard and the prisoner, and the relationship between escape and escape. Now, they are working partners in a joint effort to make the verbal agreement work. It's a subtle shift, and while the goal is to guillotine, the relationship has gone from antagonism to cooperation.

Soon, these guards fought with Li Mi, and when they went to the outside of the gate, where the population was sparse and the control was lax, the guards removed the shackles of each other, bought some wine and food (of course, the money had to be paid by Li Mi), and sometimes, Li Mi spent a little more money, and could also cover an all-night and drink until dawn. When a person is about to die, his words are also mourning, and when a person is about to die, his desires should be indulged. Looking at this group of drunken prisoners, the guards couldn't help but feel sympathy.

Handan, a village on the outskirts of a village, a farmhouse, it was late at night. Li Mi carefully raised half of his body and looked outside, not long ago, there was a party to celebrate the rest of his life and welcome death, according to the situation, the guards should be happy with the prisoners. The guards were crooked, and they were already traveling with Du Kang. Li Mi turned over, slowly moved to the door, looked carefully, and made sure that the other party might not wake up if it thundered now. The long-awaited time for a prison break has finally arrived.

Then it's enough to escape, but the door is locked, although the cottage is simple, but the door is controlled by thieves outside, and the internal security is confidential, but it is real wood, and it is not impossible to break it violently, but it is difficult for the rabbit to make a sound, and it will not be good if the guards are summoned back from the land of too illusory. After looking at it for a while, Li Mi stared at the corner of the wall, and two words popped out of the corner of his mouth: dig the wall. Digging into the corners of people's walls, the gentleman disdains, this group of outlaws has long forgotten jì a qiē, and with concerted efforts, or the walls of the farmhouse are originally made of tofu dregs, and after a while, they dig a big hole enough for people to pass.

The cellmate went through the wall, Li Mi climbed out, breathed in the fresh and free air, as if he was reborn again, and was about to take a big stride, when he suddenly remembered something, turned his head again, lowered his body, put his head into the hole in the wall, and whispered inside: "Go quickly!" There was also one person inside, unmoved by the victorious escape of his fellow inmates. Sitting upright has the meaning of sitting through the bottom of the prison.

This brother is Wei Fusi. You may still remember that this person is a person from the Inner History who was previously surrendered by Yang Xuangan. Li Mi once built yì Yang Xuangan to get rid of this person.

When Yang Xuangan went west to Chang'an, Wei Fusi finally exposed his undetermined nature, slipped away halfway, and fled back to the eastern capital, but obviously, surrender was useless, and after the matter of participating in Yang Xuangan's team was revealed, he was fortunate to join this brigade that went north to die. This proves that Li Mi is really good, although he once persuaded Yang Xuangan to kill Wei Fusi. But after Wei Fusi also became a prisoner, he ran away without forgetting his brother. Wei Fusi did not move.

In his consciousness, he was different from Li Mi. "You guys go, I'm not guilty, and the Son of Heaven just reproaches me when he sees me."

Li Mi stared at Wei Fusi, on that face, he had seen death, and he wanted to say something, but he finally found out. If a man seeks death, he cannot stop it. So, Li Mi turned around and left, disappearing into the night. By the way. After Wei Fusi came to Gaoyang, he was killed by random arrows and died with him. and Yang Xuangan's brother Yang Jishan. Forgiveness has never been Yang Guang's character. This. Wei Fusi didn't understand, and Yang Xuangan didn't understand. Li Mi probably understands. Li Mi embarked on the road of escape again, and it turned out that he was really ashamed of a single name.

Li Mi was arrested again. Come to think of it, Li Mi has become the most wanted criminal in the Sui Dynasty, and there are Li Mi's names everywhere, and plastic surgery has not yet been carried forward in the Sui Dynasty. This is the guide zhì Li Mi has nothing to hide.

This time, Li Mi enjoyed the treatment of being escorted alone, and there was no cellmate to help, and naturally there was no money to buy the escort. According to records, the escort wanted to send Li Mi to his old boss Yu Wenshu, who would not talk to Li Mi about friendship, and only Xiang Yidao was waiting for him. Walking to the road, Li Mi suddenly reported an injury to his leg. We all know that this is a trick, but Li Mi's luck is really good, and the two dukes who escorted him actually accepted the report.

In fact, these two dukes are really good, they didn't embarrass Li Mi, neither soaked Li Mi's feet in hot water, nor asked him to wear new bast shoes, let alone tricked Li Mi into the wild boar forest, and the result was a stick.

Along the way, the two dukes took full care of Li Mi's foot injury, took off Li Mi's shackles, and only walked twenty miles a day, at this speed, to be sent to Yuwenshu, but I was afraid that Yuwenshu would not have his life to kill Li Mi, and confessed that at this time, it was the first month of the eleventh year of the Great Cause (615), and Yuwenshu died of illness in the second year. When a solid-eyed man encounters Li Mi, who lacks a heart-eyed person, he is destined to suffer.

Walking to a water stream, Li Mi limped along the shore, and suddenly stumbled and fell into the water in a beautiful tiger pounce style. The water splashed, and after a while, the water returned to calm, and I saw Li Mi lying upright in the water, motionless.

Even if China Mobile I don't move. This frightened the two honest dukes, and wanted to drown Li Mi to anyone's fault, so the two of them ran to the shore, stretched out their spears, and stabbed Li Mi in the water.

Suddenly, Li Mi jumped up, grabbed the head of the gun, and pulled it desperately, and in this way, the two dukes were unfortunately disarmed. Li Mi returned his gun and stabbed the two dukes. At the moment of the shot, Li Mi hesitated, the other party did not embarrass himself, why did he take someone's life?

But the thought flashed through me. If you want to live, you will flee, and if you do not kill them now, they will also die for the sin of the lost prisoners, and I will not kill Bern, but Beren will die because of me. In this way, it is better to kill them with your own hands, so that they can become martyrs and receive some pensions at home. Thinking of this, Li Mi relentlessly, fired two shots in a row, stabbed the two of them, and then climbed ashore, and fled without a trace.

This shows that Li Mi is by no means a soft-hearted person, he has the courage to swing his sword at everyone, and he has the cruelty of abandoning a qiē, such a person is often the object of history's pen, but everyone, unfortunately, history has never been a moralist's Shura field. If I don't believe me, Cao Cao, Tokugawa Ieyasu will defend me.

Li Mi, let's run away, escape into the jungle, hide in the night, it's just that the world is big, where is your place? Soon, Li Mi also figured out that the world is so big that there is no place for him to stand, if there must be, then it is only to find a ** arm. Fortunately, such ** weapons are not difficult to find, and if you ask anyone in the village, you can find a lot of questions.

Before tracing Li Mi's escape route, it is necessary to understand the current situation in the world. At this time, in the world, the flame of rebellion has become a prairie fire. The so-called Thirty-Six Ways Grass Kou. Seventy-two road smoke and dust still to stabilize the overall situation.

According to later historians' statistics, there were a total of 186 rebels in various places in the last years of the Sui Dynasty. These rebels were on their own side, ranging from tens of thousands. There are more than 100,000 people, each with its own name, such as Zhishilang, Uncle Thief, Donghai Gong, Touching the Sheep, begging to see the enemy, suspecting the head of the party, being stubborn, not hesitating to die, etc., the team also has a number, such as the Black Society, the White Society, the Youth Society, the Hu Society, the Cloud Thief, the Sudden Law Thief, etc., which fully embodies the spirit of the rebel army fearlessly fighting the Sui Dynasty.

In terms of number and scale, the uprisings of the Sui Wei are unprecedented, and the analysis of why there were so many uprisings at the end of the Sui Dynasty is a serious but impossible question. Why did the people rebel? Rebellion is not a dinner party. It will lose its head at any time, it will die in battle if it is captured by the official army, it will be sent to the mouth of the vegetable market to be beheaded for public display, and it will die with other mountain fires, and it will not be able to capture the city, and it may starve to death if it can't grab the granary, but in a certain historical period, there are still countless people who risk their lives to join the army of the uprising.

Delve into the reasons for this, and it is estimated that you can write a long article. But the Chinese have always been wise and concise, and the reason for this can be explained in one sentence: the government forces the people to rebel.

In feudal China, it can probably be divided into two classes. One is the working class, the other is the rentier class (the general leader is generally the emperor), and the working class naturally obtains the necessities of life through labor. And the rentier class is gúò field endowment, servitude. Taxation and other means to obtain a part of the fruits of labor from the working class. In general, rentier classes are in the minority. They can live a prosperous life by acquiring a small part of the working class, and the working class does not affect their survival by paying a part of the income.

As far as feudal society is concerned, the amount of payment determines the harmony of society, and the bottom line is the survival line. When the rentier class has a great appetite and demands excessively, and the working class is unable to survive after paying tribute, this relationship of maintaining social balance will be interrupted, and in layman's terms, when the last grain of rice in the people's homes is snatched away, and the last strong man is pulled away, and there is no hope of survival, rebellion becomes the last option. It is for the government to force the people to rebel. It should be noted that in feudal society, the result of the peasant uprising was not the elimination of the subsistence class, but the emergence of another group of people who were willing to sign a more lenient tribute agreement with the working class

Some people may have been originally from the original rentier class (e.g., the Tang Dynasty), or they may have been converted from the working class (e.g., the Ming Dynasty). After the reshuffle, society will reach equilibrium again, and then wait for the next time when the equilibrium will be broken. Therefore, it is not so much the people who are pushing history forward, but human nature that is pushing history forward. Specific to the end of the Sui Dynasty, we need to introduce three emperors.

In the 2nd century B.C., a father and son ascended to the throne in Chinese history, and during the 39 years of their reigns, the two emperors did not build large landmark buildings (palaces), did not hold large-scale celebrations (such as Mount Tai's enshrinement of Zen), did not devote themselves to expanding state revenues, and did not open up territory.

In the face of foreign invasions, he adhered to the policy of only defending and not taking the initiative to attack, and even did not often do such work as inspecting places (such as patrolling the north and going down to the south of the Yangtze River).

By some standards, it's nothing. The third emperor apparently worked harder, and after only three months on his accession to the throne, he began a great project: the section of the Grand Canal. In the second year, His Majesty the Emperor began to build the eastern capital of Luoyang, and at the same time, he launched the Xianren Palace project and the renovation project of the ditch, and vigorously developed the shipbuilding industry, building tens of thousands of ships of all sizes. At the border, he also used troops against the Khitan and won a big victory.

In the third year, under the condition of ensuring the smooth progress of various projects, a large-scale literary and artistic acrobatic music fair was held in the east, and in the fourth year, His Majesty the Emperor personally toured the north, accompanied by the following people: a bunch of civil and military officials, 500,000 soldiers, and 100,000 horses.

After the inspection, His Majesty the Emperor immediately decided to repair the Great Wall, and on the way back, decided to start another key project in Taiyuan: the construction of Jinyang Palace. In the spring of the fifth year, the construction of the Yongji section of the Grand Canal began, and in the same year, His Majesty the Emperor made a northern tour to inspect the construction of the Great Wall. At the end of the year, a successful Eagle Division Gala was held in the Eastern Capital.

It is worth noting that this year, the labor situation was in short supply, and His Majesty the Emperor was in a hurry, giving full play to the characteristics of women comrades who can hold up half the sky, and calling on the majority of women comrades to love work clothes rather than red clothes, and actively go to the construction site to earn work.

In the sixth year, while grasping the infrastructure construction in the country, His Majesty the Emperor actively carried out foreign military operations, defeated Tuyuhun who refused to accept the management, and made the empire's tentacles reach the Western Regions.

In the seventh year, His Majesty the Emperor held a grand party of the vassal states in the eastern capital, and asked for troops from the vassal states of the island who refused to attend. In the eighth year, it actively carried out armaments, recruited troops extensively, accumulated grain deeply, and prepared to use troops against Goguryeo. In the ninth year, His Majesty the Emperor personally led an army of 2 million (more than 1 million in real numbers, more than 2 million in counting migrant workers) to attack Goguryeo. In the tenth year, Goguryeo was conquered again, and if it wasn't for a sudden coup d'état in the country, Goguryeo might have been taken. In the eleventh year, the three expeditions to Goguryeo.

Compared with the previous two emperors who did nothing, this emperor can be described as industrious and brave, and his political achievements are brilliant. But comrades who are familiar with history probably guessed that the first two emperors were Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han. During the reign of the Han and Jing dynasties, the country was peaceful and peaceful, and it was known as the rule of Wenjing.

And the latter emperor, as everyone knows, is the Yang Guang brother, the Sui Dynasty ruled by Yang Guang is considered to be the same tyranny as Qin Wei, and Yang Guang's name is often associated with the famous tyrant of Xia Wei and Shang, etc., becoming a negative teaching material for later generations. This shows that the emperor is also divided into good emperors who do nothing and bad emperors who do things.

Borrowing the words of teaching science, Yang Guang was extremely hungry for poverty at home and reckless with military force abroad, although he also did a lot of good things (building the Great Wall and Canal), but he did not hesitate to force the people to Liangshan. Throughout the ages, among the emperors who challenged the limits of the people's endurance, Yang Guang was called the second, and it is estimated that no one dared to admit the first.

In particular, in the 180 Route Rebel Army, in addition to the peasant rebel army that could not survive, there were more than 40 landlord armies, which shows that Mr. Yang Guang was really violent, and in addition to forcing the peasants to Liangshan, he forced the landlords who were originally allies to jump over the wall.
