After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he made indelible contributions to China's territory, and successively sent troops to destroy Tuyuhun.

It has opened up thousands of miles of territory, ranging from the east bank of Qinghai Lake in the east, to the Tarim Basin in the west, from the Kuruktag Mountains in the north to the Kunlun Mountains in the south, and implements the county system management. It was brought under Chinese rule. This is a place where no official administrative district has ever been established in any previous dynasty.

And it is said that Yang Guang is active and likes to play, but Yang Guang's place of play is not something that ordinary people can go, maybe everyone thinks that the Grand Canal was built by Emperor Yang of Sui for fun, then I sue you wrong, Emperor Yang of Sui during his reign in Liangdu (less than 2 years in Chang'an and less than four years in Luoyang) The time is less than half of his reign, basically he is on patrol, but he is not like Qianlong Ye to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to play, Yang Guang went to the northwest of the barren land, what did he go there for?

Expand your territory. The most famous is that in the fifth year of the Great Cause (609), Yang Guang led the army from Chang'an, Kyoto to Longxi, Gansu, and went west to the Qilian Mountains in Qinghai, and those who have a little geographical knowledge know that the Qilian Mountains are 4,000 meters above sea level on average, and the highest time can reach more than 5,000 meters, of course, Yang Guang cannot be at the top of the mountain, to go to the valley, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty chose to fight the valley, we know that the more the sea wave is high, the more unstable the climate dìng, which may be sunny and shining, and the next minute may be wind and snow.

And the road is very narrow, the narrowest place only allows one person to pass guò, Yang Guang is the Son of Heaven also has to be No. 11, and Emperor Yang of Sui will not pass guò alone, he is with concubines and guards, a total of 100,000 people to walk this valley, early in the morning set off and did not come out of the dark night, the night is miserable, many little princes and princesses are hugging the guards together for warmth, everyone can imagine how wolf Emperor Yang of Sui is. In fact, in ancient China, the emperor was probably the only one who did trekking through the Sui Yang Emperor, where did the Sui Yang Emperor go the farthest?

There is a poem in Yumen Pass, why should you complain about the willows, and the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass. Yumen Pass is so remote that it can't even pass the spring breeze, and Emperor Yang of Sui crossed it on foot.

In the feudal era, the Chinese emperor arrived so far to the northwest that only Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was alone. After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty toured the west, the Sui Dynasty set up in the west: Shanshan, the source of the Xihai River, and the last four counties.

For the first time in Chinese history, the Central Plains Dynasty completely unified Qinghai by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. You must know that Yumen Pass is a place where even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not break through the past, Yang Guang did it, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, no one has set up such a brilliant martial arts, and the territory of the Sui Dynasty has expanded to the extreme.

But these Yang Guang was still not satisfied, and decided to do one thing about the Ling family's Qin Emperor and Han Wu, that is, to send troops to Goguryeo. However, despite the complaints, no one raised the banner of rebellion before the start of the Goryeo War. The subjects of the whole country never doubted the victory in the Goryeo War.

Since this energetic emperor ascended the throne, he has never missed any major things. Everyone believed that with the strength of the Great Sui today, Pinggoryeo would be as smooth as the Pingchen War, and even much easier than Pingchen.

When Yang Guang triumphs, they will usher in the long-awaited rest. Unfortunately, Yang Guang finally failed in these three expeditions to Goguryeo, which greatly reduced the national capital.

These are Yang Guang's military achievements, are they amazing? It's too powerful, Emperor Wu of the poor Han Dynasty only achieved Yang Guang's military achievements in five years in his lifetime, and Li Shimin never reached the height of Yang Guang in his life, these alone are not enough. Yang Guang was also comparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu in terms of cultural governance and political achievements.

Qin Shi Huang's Great Wall is flashy, the Great Wall is getting longer and longer, but it is not enough to resist the enemy outside the Great Wall, and the Grand Canal of Emperor Yang of Sui I introduced above, it is amazing, and today the communication between the north and the south still depends on the Grand Canal, because the north and south of the Grand Canal are no longer divided, and it also makes the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou prosperous. Emperor Yang of Sui's reason for building the Eastern Capital was already fully stated in his edict.

The edict contained in the Book of Sui in full is well-argued and appropriately written, and it clearly explains the necessity of moving the capital from a geographical and economic point of view. However, for more than a thousand years, this edict was ignored, and Emperor Yang of Sui's farsightedness was interpreted by later historians as delirious.

For example, "Zizhi Tongjian" adopts the statement of Yeshi, believing that Emperor Yang of Sui built the east because he listened to a warlock's nonsense: Emperor Yang of Sui had just ascended the throne, and the warlock Zhang Qiu Taiyi said to him: "Your Majesty is a wooden life, and it is ominous to live in the west."

Emperor Yang of Sui thought so. …… An edict was issued to build Tokyo in Iro. However, why did Yang Guang build Luoyang Palace, simply put, because the Daxing City built by Emperor Wen at that time was good, but it was too close to the north, and once there was a change in the south, it was impossible to draw troops to quell the rebellion in time. Moreover, Daxingcheng is not a central point on the map, and it cannot be compared with Luoyang geographically, and belongs to the center of the north and south, which can not only stabilize the Guanlong group in the north, but also play a role in deterring the south.

Moreover, it was built in 10 months in the super fast speed of Yangguang Luoyang City, which slowly replaced Daxing City and became the most prosperous city in the world at that time, so that Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty directly established the capital in Luoyang.

It's a great idea, but Yang Guang's contribution is not only that, but also, in addition to opening up the territory, digging canals, and building Luoyang Palace.

The Celestial Empire constitution was also established, which was not broken until the first ** war of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After Emperor Yang of Sui arrived in Zhangye, the monarchs of the 27 Western Regions and Shi Chen came to meet and express their submission. Merchants from all over the world also gathered in Zhangye to trade. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty personally opened up the Silk Road, which is a merit that can only be achieved by famous kings through the ages.

In order to show off the prosperity of China, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty held a grand World Exposition on the ancient Silk Road. This is a world first.

In the third year of the great cause, the Qimin Khan came to pay tribute, respected the Sui Son of Heaven and the sage Khan for four years, and the lord of the Japanese kingdom, Doli Sibigu, sent an envoy to pay tribute for the third time for five years, and Tuyuhun and other states in the Western Regions paid tribute to the Sui Empire, and the Celestial Empire system, which affected the Central Plains Dynasty for more than 1,500 years, began.

Until the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War of the Qing court, in addition to these, Yang Guang also established the world-famous imperial examination system, and Yang Guang's personal poetry attainments are also very high, magnificent, "building Luoyang", "moving the capital to Luoyang", "repairing the canal", "touring Zhangye in the west", "creating the imperial examination", "developing the Western Regions" and so on can summarize the life of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang's pace was too fast, but the people couldn't keep up, slowly, the original Great Sui Dynasty was in turmoil with the three expeditions to Goguryeo, it was such an emperor who caused a series of betrayals, and some foreign careerists messed up their most trusted army, this great emperor, after his death, he didn't even use a decent coffin, and the Empress Xiao (the aforementioned Xiao Guifei) and the palace people dismantled the bed board to make a small coffin, only four wooden planks were secretly buried in Leitang, and later a poet called Luo Yin made a poem: enter the Guo Deng Bridge and exit the Guo boat, The Red Mansion is growing day by day.

The king endured the leveling of Chen Ye, and only a few acres of land in Boleitang. Yang Guang discredited the half-crippled emperor, but it is undeniable that he has no academic martial arts, and his personal achievements or contributions to later generations can be regarded as the best among the emperors, but it is a pity that such an emperor is regarded as the most absurd and mediocre emperor in Chinese history because of the continuous scribbling by his descendants, and Li Shimin does not know that he has given the nickname of "Yang" out of such an idea.

If you like Emperor Yang of Sui, you can take a look at "The Five Fates of Chinese Emperors" and "Mengman Says Sui". The tragedy of Yang Guang is also a textbook history now, which is too slanderous, thinking of middle school history class, by the time of the Sui Dynasty, it was basically a few chapters overview. Yang Guang was a great talent, and both Yang Jian and Yang Guang were very capable kings, but it was a pity that Yang Guang, after getting rid of the influence of his Lao Tzu, was immediately eager to show his foresight and personal ability.

The conquest of Liaodong is not unwise in terms of long-term strategy, and like his son Yang Jian, he saw through the wolf ambitions of those people on the Korean Peninsula and the threat to the Central Plains, and the sentence "But let the descendants have no worries" determined the necessity of conquering Liaodong.

The excavation of the Grand Canal is a measure that will benefit the present and the future. The imperial examination system opened the way for talented and capable students from the poor families of the common people to open up the road to official careers, making the talent recruitment mechanism of the Central Plains Dynasty more enlightened and scientific.

The construction of the eastern capital to sit in the Central Plains, taking advantage of the convenience of the geographical center to greatly improve the imperial court's control of the world, due to the transportation and distance of the imperial court's weakening of the local control of the local government to improve, but also to strengthen the development of the south of the Yangtze River, and promote the cultural integration and economic exchanges between different ethnic groups in different regions of the north and south.

These all require a dynasty successor who has courage and dares to innovate, not a man like Yang Yong. With Yang Jian's eloquence, he was definitely not willing to accept that the Sui Dynasty he established was only maintained in the form he left behind, and he definitely hoped that after him, his successor would make the Sui Dynasty stronger and its territory more magnificent.

After all, it was he who divided the Turks, leaving the successors with the same opportunity to defeat the northern nomads as the Han Wu; It was also he who established a friendly situation with the Bashu ethnic minorities, so that the western part of the Sui Dynasty did not have to worry about war. It was under him that Zhang Zhenzhou led the naval army to shock the Ryukyus.

It can be said that from south to north and from east to west, Yang Jian has done everything he can for the Sui Dynasty and done it well. Psychologically, such a founding monarch should be more inclined to advocate pioneering rather than be content with the status quo and only want to keep the successor.

Yang Guang In addition, a friend upstairs said that if Yang Guang is willing to spend more time and slowly do those big things, so that the world has a process of recuperation, instead of rushing, Yang Guang can definitely compete with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu and win the nomination award of the First Emperor of the Ages. Even if he only makes one of them in his life, he can become a model for a Ming monarch for a hundred generations.
