Chapter 515: Pro-Recruitment
(Thank you Zhou Dongchao for your support, thank you!) )
Not only did they not care about this small amount of money, but even the heads of the influential major commercial banks were already holding a meeting to discuss and prepare to launch a fundraiser to raise a sum of money from the shops and caravans of various banks, or donate a batch of materials to the project to fund the project. There are also some businessmen who are speculating that with the prince's previous style of acting, they are afraid that this canal project will also introduce a sponsor system, and it is also very good to take a sum of money to sponsor and compete for a few advertising spaces.
Royal Weekly, Dongdu Daily, Beijing News, Huaihuang Daily and many other newspapers and periodicals are constantly hyping the canal project, if you just read the newspaper, you may have a delusion, now is not the time of turmoil in the world, it seems that there is no Yang Xiu usurping the throne to occupy Guanzhong, Yang Guang to occupy Jingxiang, and Goguryeo to enter Kou Liaoxi and so on a series of bad things. When everyone reads the newspaper, they always see all kinds of projects that benefit the people and peace of mind, and what they see is always good governance in various places, a bumper harvest in various places, living and working in peace and contentment, and prosperous business. You can see the good news of the reduction of this year's rent and the adjustment of rents announced by the imperial court in the newspapers, the good news of the emigration of Juntian, the establishment of a protective minimum price for grain purchases, the establishment of permanent liquidation positions in various places, and the announcement that when the grain price exceeds the maximum warning line, the imperial court will immediately open a position to release grain at a flat price to curb grain prices, and so on. Even the prefectures and counties began to build large-scale prefecture, county, and township schools, and all primary school students in village and township schools could be enrolled free of tuition, and teachers were sent by the imperial court to teach, and school fields were allocated to prefecture, county, and township schools to support school expenses.
It seems that the world is really a peaceful and prosperous scene.
In response to this situation, some officials directly advised Yi Feng. Thinking that Yi Feng was deceiving the people, Yi Feng just smiled and didn't answer. What's so bad about letting ordinary people live in a news broadcast? What's more, he is not cheating, but just letting everyone see the positive side. At the same time, he didn't really forget about the bad ones, but tried to solve them. Yi Feng has always advocated letting professional people do professional things, letting the army go to war, sending experienced officials to govern the localities, and leaving judicial proceedings to just officials who are familiar with the law. At the same time, he only let newspapers and other public opinion institutions promote the positive, but he did not deliberately cover up those bad things.
In the hot July, Yifeng had just reached an agreement with Silla, Baekje, and Dongying. The Three Kingdoms had the Great Sui as the suzerainty, and Yi Feng also canonized the kings of the Three Kingdoms as the regent prince of the prison state. He officially canonized Buyeo Zhang, King of Baekje Warriors, as the King of Obibang County and the General of the Eastern Expedition, and Kim Baek-jeong, the King of Jinpyeong of Silla, as the King of Silla and the General of the Southern Army. Canonized the Emperor of Toei Tuigu as the king of Fusang County and the general of Zhengyi.
At the same time, after Yi Feng personally intervened, Baekje and Dongying no longer fought with Silla, and the two sides made peace. The three compete for the key Renna region. Yi Feng divided the original ten kingdoms of Gaya into two, and ceded any three of them to Baekje. Baekje, on the other hand, ceded the four counties of Ren to Dongying. In this way, it can be regarded as the three families quelling the war and dividing up the Gaya. Of course, the easy wind fee is so vigorous. It's not for the Three Kingdoms to be a peacemaker. Both Baekje and Silla were originally at odds with Goguryeo, and they were at war for years to deal with the constant invasion of Goguryeo. Later, Goguryeo did not continue to go south. Turning to the north to devour and expand in the Liaodong region of the Central Plains, Baekje took the lead in negotiating peace with Goguryeo. Turning to a full-scale war with Silla, it was the war between Baekje and Silla. This made Goguryeo even more dominant on the Samhan Peninsula, and had enough energy to take advantage of China's civil strife to encroach on the area east of the Liao River.
Now that the Sanfan is attached, Yi Feng's main purpose is to let the three kingdoms make peace, and then find a way to lure them to stand on a united front with the Sui Dynasty and jointly deal with Goguryeo. However, for them to deal with Goguryeo, which was powerful in their eyes, Yi Feng had to provide a tempting enough bait. Yi Feng's bait was to provide loans to the three families, and the three did not really get the loans, and their loans were used to buy horses, ordnance, and ships of the Sui Dynasty. The Sui Dynasty will sell them a large number of these military equipment and equipment, and will even provide them with a group of experienced military instructors to train soldiers for them and form an elite army. Then, when the time is ripe, the Sui Dynasty will attack Goguryeo with their commanders, and finally after the destruction of Goguryeo, the Han River will be used as the boundary, the north of the river will be returned to the Sui, the south of the Han River will be returned to Baekje and Silla, and the three families of Dongying will be divided equally. As a condition for repaying the loan, after conquering Goguryeo, the three kingdoms would repay the loan with the population and other things in the Goguryeo land that they had divided.
The conditions were very attractive, and the total amount of loans obtained by the three families was 10 million guan of various military supplies, war horses, warships, armor, weapons, etc., and such a large loan was interest-free, and at the same time, the population and money obtained after the defeat of Goguryeo were repaid. If Goguryeo is not conquered for a day, the Sui Dynasty will not chase them to repay the money, and at the same time, the Sui Dynasty will send people to help them train their troops, which is really a pie-in-the-sky good thing. The envoys of the three kingdoms happily agreed, and immediately returned to the countries with the agreement and asked the king to sign it.
Luoyang City was jubilant and joyful.
Chaoyuan Hall.
In the hot summer, it is exceptionally cool.
Yi Feng hid in a rattan chair, quietly digesting the huge news he had just received.
Yang Guang died.
Just today, Liu Ying of the Special Service Department sent back an urgent report from Jiangling, and Li Sanyi received 18 pigeons flying back from Jiangling. Each pigeon carried the same urgent message, Yang Guang died.
Jiangling Mutiny, led by Sima Dejiao, Yu Wenhua, Yang Wei and others, took advantage of the opportunity of Yang Guang's three henchmen Zhang Heng, Duan Da, and Guo Yan to lead the army to leave Jiangling, suddenly attacked, hanged Yang Guang, and then blamed Yang Hong, the king of Jing, and the general Yuan Shou, slandering them for rebellion and killing Yang Guang.
Yi Feng was still a little shocked at this time, Yang Guang actually died like this, it is said that he had been seriously ill before, and he was in a coma for a long time, and he couldn't see things, and the Huainan generals were pessimistic about the future, and finally broke out this tragedy of military chaos. Yang Guang died like this, which was naturally a great good thing for the Luoyang Imperial Court, and it was also a good thing for Yi Feng, but in his heart, he still couldn't help but sigh. In fact, in his heart, Yi Feng is still full of appreciation for Yang Guang, he is diligent, capable, and both talented and idealistic, although in history he eventually died in the country, but he was not mediocre and ruined, but too diligent and idealistic, and the director was in a hurry, which caused many contradictions, and finally various factors combined to lose the empire. Compared with Song Huizong, the Southern Tang Dynasty Queen, and Chen Houzhu, these people are always thousands of times stronger. But this is the end, although it is inevitably bleak, but it is okay, if he continues, his future will only become more and more bleak, and the end will be more miserable.
Putting away those emotions in his heart, Yi Feng summoned Li Mi, "Immediately prepare for the Privy Council, I will personally lead the 100,000 forbidden troops of the Northern Ya to the expedition." ”
Li Mi was surprised, "Your Highness, pass the edict to Huainan, let Gao Taishi and Wang Shumi's envoy move troops westward and receive Jingxiang, didn't General Liu Ying say that Yuwenshu had already sent someone to submit a letter to Shun?" ”
Yi Feng shook his head, "It's time for the most critical time, it's time to end this turmoil in one fell swoop." We now have the opportunity to decide the world in a war, when the king of Jin was killed and Jing Xiang returned to obedience, the only one who resisted the court was Yang Xiu. And Yang Xiu must also know that if we let us occupy Jingxiang, he will only have a dead end. Therefore, he will definitely immediately lead his troops out of the customs to fight for Jingxiang. If he can fight for Jingxiang, then he can also hold Yizhou and further occupy Guanzhong. With Jingxiang, Bashu, and Guanlong, Yang Xiu can drag it down with us and divide it for a long time. We can't let him get his way, this time I will personally lead the army south, from Luoyang to Nanyang, straight to Xiangyang. At the same time, Gao Gong and Wang Bao led the southern expeditionary army to take over Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, and Jiangxia, and supported Jiangling. In addition, it is necessary to let He Ruobi's troops increase their offensive efforts, and send an order to Yang Su, so that he can also send troops to Longyou, in short, this is the last battle, and this victory will be determined in the world. Yang Xiu has no chance to lose this battle, the situation in the world is completely clear, and there will not be many people who follow him with all their hearts, and no one will waver and wait and see. ”
The struggle for the world has always been like this, especially this kind of internal struggle within the royal family, which will not really hit a single soldier, nor will it be tragic to the last city or place. There will inevitably be a node, and when this node is crossed, the unfavorable side will completely collapse, and once the morale of the army and the popularity of the people will be lost. Now, Yi Feng has obtained the same node, a node that can replace a total victory as long as it is defeated.
Guanzhong, Daxing.
"Hahaha!" Yang Xiu laughed, her face was about to cramp when she laughed, and she couldn't straighten her waist when she laughed. He couldn't stop laughing, and his palms kept slapping the table, banging. "Yang Guang is dead, you said that Yang Guang is dead, and he was hanged by his subordinates, it's really good, hahaha."
"Your Majesty, the secret agent came with the news, saying that Yuwenshu had killed Yang Hong and controlled the Jingzhou army, and then, then, the three generals Zhang Heng, Duan Da, and Guo Yan, who were outside the army, had also agreed to Yuwenshu's plan, and they wanted to raise Jingxiang to return to Luoyang Yanglin, and they had sent envoys north to Luoyang. Zhang Heng led 20,000 troops back to Jiangling, Duan Da led 30,000 troops to guard Jingmen, and Guo Yan led 50,000 troops to Xiangyang to garrison. Shangshu Yuanheng of the Ministry of War continued to report in a low voice.
"What?" Yang Xiu's laughter stopped abruptly, first stunned, then mad with anger, he pulled out his saber violently, and slashed wildly towards the bookcase in front of him, all the while chopping the red sandalwood bookcase into pieces of wood, Yang Xiu's eyes were still red as bloodshot, and his face was hideous.
"These rebellious ministers and thieves are so ignorant!" He kept roaring, and his voice resounded through the palace.
"Yuan Heng!"
"The minister is here." Yuan Heng lowered his head and trembled, for fear of drawing the emperor's anger onto himself.
"I want to drive the expedition in person, I want to sweep away the gangsters in Jiangling, and I want to capture Jingxiang!" (To be continued......) R1292
