The heart of the Changsun General's Mansion has been settled, and he will spend a year in peace.

The matter at home is decided.

But the Great Sui world is in chaos.

After a short period of one or twenty years of prosperity, the Great Sui Dynasty soon came to the brink of overthrow.

The loose rocks will one day roll down the top of the mountain.

The temple of decay will one day collapse.

Yang Guang's actions, in the eyes of the wise, caused the demise of the dynasty, which was inevitable.

------

In the sixth year of the great cause, on the first day of the first month, Yang Guang was stationed in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

When the sky is about to shine, there are dozens of people, wearing white hats, wearing white clothes, burning incense and holding flowers, claiming to be Maitreya Buddha, entering from the Jianguo Gate, and the guards guarding the gate regard it as sacred, and they all kneel down and kowtow.

Unexpectedly, these men seized the weapons of the guards and were about to cause chaos.

Yang Yu, the king of Qi, led his troops to kill these people, and searched for them in Beijing, and more than 1,000 families were implicated and convicted.

At that time, the chieftains of various states were in Luoyang.

In order to show the singing and dancing, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yang Guangming held a grand performance of 100 operas on Duanmen Street.

There were 5,000 paces around the theater, and 18,000 people played musical instruments. The sound of music resounded for dozens of miles, from dusk to early morning, and the lights lit up the heavens and the earth.

Within the first month, day by day, until the end of the month, it costs a huge amount of money.

------

The chiefs of the various states requested to trade in the Fengdu market, and Yang Guang ordered the renovation and decoration of the shops, the eaves were neatly styled, the curtains were hung in the store, the shops were filled with rare goods, the merchants were dressed in gorgeous costumes, and the vegetable sellers were also to use dragon beard mats to spread the floor.

Whenever a Hu person passes by a wine and food shop, he orders the shopkeeper to invite him to a seat. When they were full of food and wine, they did not charge for their meals and deceived them by saying, "China is rich, and food and wine do not need money as usual."

When a Hu man saw silk wrapped around a tree, he asked, "There are also poor people in China who have no clothes to cover, so why don't they use these silks to make clothes for the poor, but use them to wrap around trees?"

People in the market, hearing this question, are ashamed and speechless.

------

When Yang Guang went to court, his demeanor was solemn, and his speech, decree, and words were all high-sounding.

However, he likes to be vocal in his heart, and when he travels around the eastern and western capitals and various places, he often lets monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and female Taoist priests follow, calling it the Four Daochangs.

The Yang clan has beautiful beauties, and they often dedicate themselves to Yang Guang.

He spent all day in the garden and in the forest pavilion, putting on a big wine feast, and after retiring from the court, Yang Guang immediately entered the banquet to drink, and everyone persuaded each other to drink.

There are a few flattering ministers, who have no restrictions on entering and leaving the palace, so they are allowed to sit at a table with the concubines of the first emperor.

Monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and female Taoist priests sit at a table.

Yang Guang and the favored Concubine Ji are one seat, and each seat is connected.

When the wine is hot, the scene is chaotic, and he often does despicable things.

The concubines and princesses all wantonly vented their desolation, and Yang Guang did not blame him.

He arranged the scattered music artists recruited from the Zhou, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties in Taichang Temple, and set up doctoral disciples to teach each other skills, and there were more than 30,000 musicians.

------

In March, Yang Guang drove around the Jiangdu Palace and let Wang Shichong lead the Jiangdu Palace Supervisor.

Wang Shichong was originally a Hu native of the Western Regions, surnamed Zhi, and his father's name was Zhishui. When he was young, he followed his mother to remarry into the Wang family, so he used the surname Wang.

Wang Shichong has a cunning temperament, good eloquence, has dabbled in many books and scriptures, likes the art of war, and is familiar with the law. Yang Guang went to Jiangdu several times, Wang Shichong was able to observe the face, flattery, carved wisps to decorate the pool platform, and offered rare items, so he was favored by Yang Guang.

In June, Yang Guang ordered to dig a canal, from Jingkou to Yuhang, more than 800 miles long, more than 10 zhang wide, so that it can pass through dragon boats. And set up a post palace along the coast, intending to parade to the east.

------

In February of the seventh year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang issued an edict to conquer Goryeo on the grounds that there was little pilgrimage.

ordered the rich people of the world to buy military horses, each priced at 100,000 yuan; Order someone to inspect the weapon, and if it is found to be shoddy, immediately behead it.

Ordered Yuan Hongsi, the governor of Youzhou, to build 300 ships in Donglai Haikou. The officials supervised the project, and the craftsmen and servants worked in the water day and night, and the maggots were rotten from the waist down, and three or four out of ten died of illness.

The edict was issued to recruit soldiers from all over the world, no matter how far or near, they were all concentrated in Zhuo County. 10,000 sailors, 30,000 crossbowmen, and 30,000 Lingnan platoon fighters south of Jianghuai were requisitioned, and soldiers from all over the country rushed to Zhuo County.

In April, Yang Guangche drove to the Linshuo Palace in Zhuo County, and the civil and military officials of the retinue above the ninth rank were all ordered to be resettled in the mansion.

------

In May, he ordered Henan, Huainan, Jiangnan and other places to manufacture 50,000 military vehicles and send them to Gaoyang for loading armor curtains. Requisition and dispatch of people from Henan and Hebei to supply military supplies.

In July, the people and ships south of the Jiang and Huai were requisitioned to transport rice from the granaries of Liyang and Luokou to Zhuo County. The ships are connected end to end and stretch for more than a thousand miles.

The number of people carrying weapons, armor, and siege equipment to and from the province often numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Along the way, there were sick and dead people, and the stench of rotting corpses was everywhere.

The whole world is attacking Goryeo, causing harassment and unrest.

------

In that year, Shandong and Henan were flooded, flooding more than 30 counties.

Yang Guang did not know how to sympathize with the hunger of the victims, so he issued an edict to set up a mansion in Shandong and ordered horses to be raised for military service. It also levied and sent people to transport rice, and stored it in Luhe and Huaiyuan two towns.

None of the cattle in the grain carts returned, and more than half of the soldiers died. When the cultivation was lost, the fields were barren, and in addition to the famine, the price of grain was high, and a bucket of rice cost hundreds of dollars.

Yang Guang ordered to levy more than 600,000 yuan from the coachman, and two people pushed three stone meters. The road to transport grain is dangerous and far away, and three stone of rice is not enough for the driver's ration on the road.

When they arrived at the two towns of Luhe and Huaiyuan, the coachmen had no food to pay, so they had to flee in fear of crime.

------

Yang Guanghuang Yin has no way, reckless soldiers, and tyrannical conquest.

The officials were greedy and tyrannical, taking the opportunity to fish the people and loot the people's fat and ointment.

The people are poor, and the people's livelihood is withering.

Those who keep to themselves will not be able to endure hunger and cold, and their time of death is near.

Robbers and marauders may survive and survive.

So, in order to survive, the people began to gather to be thieves.

------

Zouping County, Wang Bo, claiming to be Zhishilang, supported the crowd to occupy Changbai Mountain, robbed and plundered near Qi County and Jibei County, and made "Song of Death in Liaodong Waves" to persuade the people to escape from conscription, and many people defected to Wang Bo.

------

In the east of Pingyuan County, Liu is domineering, and his family has been an official eunuch for generations, with rich assets. Liu Badao likes to help others with righteousness, fighting grievances, and the number of diners at home often reaches hundreds, and when the group of thieves rises, thieves from near and far are attached to Liu Badao, with hundreds of thousands of people.

------

Zhangnan County, Dou Jiande, when he was young, advocated heroic and righteous deeds, and his courage and strength exceeded ordinary people, and the villagers loved to belong to him.

At that time, Sun Anzu of the same county, after assassinating the county order for military evasion, entered Gaojibo as a thief.

Zhang Jin, a native of the same county, said that he gathered crowds to loot in Hequ.

Gao Shida, a native of the same county, gathered a crowd in the territory of Qinghe to be a thief.

The county officials suspected that Dou Jiande was in contact with the thieves and arrested his family and killed him.

Dou Jiande led 200 of his subordinates to flee to Gaoshida.

Soon, Sun Anzu's subordinates were all attached to Dou Jiande, and his army reached more than 10,000 people.

------

Since then, groups of thieves have flocked to the city, innumerable, and the number of disciples can reach more than 10,000 people, attacking the city and trapping the city, and the local officials are powerless to exterminate it.

Yang Guang ordered the lieutenant and Ying Yanglang to cooperate with the county to hunt down the thieves and kill them as they were arrested, but they still could not stop the people from rebelling.

------

Yang Guang conquered Goryeo and ordered Li Yuan to supervise grain in Huaiyuan Town.

Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng exchanged letters, recounting the chaos in Liaodong, hinting that they were preparing in advance to prevent thieves from swarming.

In the name of guarding the Grange, Li Jiancheng trained his family and recruited heroes, which was really to prepare for the future army.

Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Shunde and others lived in Chengnan Manor for a long time, and occasionally returned home, Li Jiancheng told Li Shimin everything Li Yuan had explained, so that he could make friends with the younger generations of the eldest grandson's family, so that he could be an important force in the future.

------

Speaking of the eldest grandson family, this is indeed a force to be reckoned with.

For more than 150 years, the eldest grandson family has experienced four dynasties, but it has been prosperous for a long time, and has worked hard in Luoyang and Chang'an, laying a solid foundation.

The entire family has countless houses and fields, and on the land owned by the eldest grandson's family, there are countless soldiers and households attached.

When the elders in the clan shouted, it was not only a hundred responses, but tens of thousands, or even 100,000 people.

The eldest grandson family has always paid attention to the cultivation of young talents, and each generation is a multiplier of talents, and the eldest grandson family has important ministers in the court.

In the previous generation, only the eldest grandson was this branch, and his three sons had two third-grade officials, Sun Chi, the head of the household department, and Sun Sheng, the general of the right Xiaowei, and the third son, Sun Chang, is now also the fourth-rank right guard general.

Among the young descendants, although there is still no one to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the imperial court, they are also full of talents.

The eldest grandson Wuyi died in battle, and the eldest grandson Wuyi was young and was already a five-grade eagle general.

The future prospects of rising stars such as Changsun Wuji, Changsun Shunde, and Changsun Zhan are limitless.

------

In the past two years, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Shunde have practiced martial arts and studied hard in Chengnan Manor.

In order to let his grandson Ding Ji Kando befriend these young talents, Ding Zhankui often took him to Chengnan Manor.

On the one hand, Ding Jikan can learn martial arts with several other children.

On the other hand, he always remembered Changsun Sheng's kindness, Changsun Sheng was no longer there, and he wanted to guide Changsun Sheng's juniors to practice martial arts, which was regarded as a reward for Changsun Sheng.

After hard training and the guidance of famous teachers, several people are already skilled in bows and horses, and their arm strength has increased greatly.

The eldest grandson Shunde has five hundred catties of strength in his arms, and he easily pulled out the three-stone bow, and the flying horse shot from a distance, and the arrows were two hundred steps away.

Li Shimin, Changsun Zhan, and Ding Jikan also have no less than 300 catties of strength in their arms, and their riding and archery skills are also one in a million, and they can kill the enemy from 150 steps away.

The others are slightly inferior, the eldest grandson Hong's martial arts training age is too late, the eldest grandson gradually, the eldest grandson Wuao, and the eldest grandson Qing are still young, but these people can also easily pull a 120-pound bow, and they can also be evenly matched with the archers in the army.

------

Seeing the progress made by several young people, Ding Zhankui was overjoyed.

But there was one thing that made it difficult for him.

Changsun Sheng said, "Use a bow in long-range combat and a lance in close combat."

However, this lance was used in northern cavalry warfare.

Ding Zhankui was originally a southerner, and he fought many foot battles and water battles, and most of his melee weapons were knives, so he almost didn't know anything about how to use the horse lance.

------

The horse lance is a heavy cavalry weapon, which is shaped like a sword and has a blade three feet long.

Unlike the sword, the lance has eight faces, a solid center with an edged edge.

To put it simply, this lance is actually like a sword, with sharp spikes.

It can smash, split, and stab, and is a sharp weapon against heavy cavalry.

Ordinary fish scale chain mail, iron circle armor, and bright light armor are broken with a single blow under the armour-piercing horse lance.

The horse lance arose in a cavalry-based war dynasty.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, cavalry has been the decisive force in the struggle for world domination.

By the time of the Northern Dynasties, armored hoplites had reached their peak of development, and the most effective weapon against hoplites was the lance.

From the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, to the Sui Dynasty, if the generals who charged into battle could not use horse lances, they did not dare to say that they could fight.

------

When Changsun Sheng was alive, because Li Shimin and the others were still young and lacked strength, they were not taught the skills to use the horse lance.

Now that Changsun Sheng is gone, Ding Zhankui is left with a problem.
