Don't think that Goguryeo is easy to fight, although Yang Guang's three expeditions were all defeated in history, the consumption of Goguryeo is unprecedentedly huge, although it sounds like a joke.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the standing army of Goguryeo was 600,000, and Yang Guang didn't know how much he sent him, and there were too many soldiers, but Yang Guang fought three times, and the economy of Goguryeo collapsed, and the people cut back on food and clothing, one meal a day.

During the period of Li Shimin, he launched a personal expedition against Goguryeo and returned with a great victory, but he did not destroy others, which shows how difficult this bone is.

Later, the Tang Dynasty changed its strategic policy, focusing on frequent raids and harassments, and sent troops to fight Goguryeo every three or five times, fighting two cities this year and three cities next year.

It was accumulated until the period of Tang Gaozong and was destroyed by Li Tao.

From the beginning of the Sui Dynasty to the period of Tang Gaozong, a total of nearly 60 years, seven fights, before the family was destroyed.

Why, because people are feudal societies, there is a mature social system, developed farming industry, and all beliefs and cultures, it can be seen from one point, it is called: there is marriage, and it is pleasing to men and women, that is, that is, people are free to love, which is stronger than the Great Sui.

As we all know, the family formed by free love is very stable, the small family is stable, the big family is stable, and thus rises to the national stability.

At present, Goguryeo certainly does not have 600,000 standing soldiers, and according to the spy reports of various ministries, it should be between 350,000 and 400,000, and the main battle arms are ironclad heavy cavalry, and there are more than 100,000 elite cavalry with armor on both men and horses.

Either Goguryeo can conquer the northern Silla, Murowei, Khitan, Xi, and Silla Baekje can't breathe, and the family members are really awesome.

But Goguryeo definitely didn't expect that their armor was now vulnerable in the eyes of the Great Sui.

After the New Year this year, it will be six years of great cause, and Yang Ming will be twenty-four years old.

The second, third, and fourth batches of ordnance in the refining field have been delivered to Luoyang, and the task assigned by Comrade Yang Guang has also been completed, 20,000 pairs of armor.

Of course, this is done on the premise of sacrificing the number of ordnance, anyway, Dad only said that he wanted 20,000 armor, but he didn't say how many weapons he wanted, so follow yours.

In other words, the four batches of ordnance delivered to the imperial court were more armor and less weapons.

There's no way, drive people to death, that's the number.

The beginning of the year is approaching, Yang Ming transferred some money and cloth from the Hedong Mansion Treasury and rewarded them to the craftsmen and people in the refinery.

The scale of Duguxin's entertainment villa has begun to take shape, and it has begun to pick up customers, this kid has been doing business with the south all the year round, so he has brought a lot of southern girls, which is a water spirit that the northern man has never seen.

It's just that the price is a bit high, and ordinary people don't even have the opportunity to feast their eyes, but fortunately there is a temple fair there, and you can go to join in the fun, twice a month, on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Where is the temple fair? Of course, it is newly repaired, and those who do business pay attention to superstition, burn incense and worship the Buddha to be auspicious, and open a villa here, and must not worship the local mountain god?

So Dugu Xin funded the construction of a mountain temple.

Legend has it that Shang Tang gathered troops here to destroy Xia, and there was a story of encountering a snake in a dream, so the mountain god of Tangwang Mountain is the snake in Shang Tang's dream.

Yang Ming also went to worship, if you don't worship, you can't do it, if you don't believe in God, the people will think that you are a freak, or even a demon and a monster, because you are working against the gods, isn't that a demon and a monster?

The Great Sui also had heavy cavalry, called armored cavalry, armored cavalry, human armor, equipped, horse armor, men and horses were all armored, and they were heavy cavalry.

To deal with heavy cavalry, you can only rely on the terrain, arrange obstacles such as tripwires, trenches, female walls, traps, etc., or use rangers to exchange their own heavy casualties for the opponent's formation chaos and a small number of casualties.

In the past, the light cavalry and archery class had no advantage over the heavy cavalry, but now with a considerable armor-piercing ability, it can almost be hung and fought.

The speed of the light cavalry is fast, the heavy cavalry can't catch up, and then the long-range projectile can simply infuriate the opposite side.

Yang Ming doesn't need to ask the court how to arrange the troops, as soon as he comes to the Nine Roads, the chief managers are all experts, and people already understand, besides, what I produce here, don't you have to use anything?

So Yang Ming opened up a bow-making field on the periphery of the refining yard, which was used to make longbows and short crossbows in large quantities.

There are seven kinds of wood used in the bow, the best is the oak wood, followed by the linden wood, mulberry wood, orange wood, oak tree, wattle wood, and bamboo wood.

Among them, Zhemu and Mulberry belong to high-end goods, and the general guard cannot be equipped, while mulberry and orange are cash crops that cannot be cut casually, and only the latter three are left.

Oak and wattle are mostly in the north, so the main materials of the bow body are these two.

As for the horns, tendons, glue, silk, and lacquer other than the bow body, as long as they can move the treasury, they are easy to handle.

The crossbow is made of sour jujube wood, jujube wood, and tangli wood, which have a long growth cycle, and all belong to cash crops.

Therefore, bows and crossbows have always been a shortcoming of the equipment, because the wood used is either for silkworm raising or long-fruit, and cannot be cut casually.

Now that it's cultivated in large quantities, it's too late.

But it's not that there is no way, that is, to find wild, artificially farmed, the same as the acres of land, are all cash crops under your name by the government, you have to pay taxes, sixty percent of the fruits grown, you have to hand over to the state, and the rest of the rotten fruits are yours.

But the wild is very widely distributed, and it is not suitable for artificial care, of course, in fact, people don't need you to take care of it, and it will be better to grow.

So Yang Ming asked Yuanshou to take charge of this matter, and called on a large number of people to go into the mountains to find these tree species, and then cut them down to supply the refinery.

And will give money, and will not let you cut in vain.

A person's personality can't be changed, although Dugu Bailou has been teaching Feng'er how to serve her husband during this time, but she can't learn it.

This thing has to be taught from a young age, and if you don't learn it when you're young, you won't learn it when you're older.

But how to have sex, she knows, but she hasn't taken that last step for a long time.

That night, Yang Ming was already asleep, but Dugu Feng'er couldn't sleep, so she sat on the bed and looked down at Yang Ming's face by the moonlight.

The two of them had slept together for a long time, but only together.

After a while, Dugu Feng'er exhaled cold air in her mouth, slowly faded the single clothes on her body, and then the whole person got into the warm quilt.

The winter in Hedong is very cold, but fortunately, there is a stove in the quilt, and the room is also heated in advance.

Yang Ming, who was asleep, was awakened by a burst of itching from his body, and when he reached out and touched the quilt, he knew what Dugu Feng'er was doing.

So he continued to pretend to be asleep and enjoy the night.

In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright, Yang Ming woke up, and what he saw was Dugu Feng'er's resentful eyes, so he said strangely:

"What's wrong?"

Dugu Feng'er pouted: "I've come to an end these days, but you deliberately pretended to be asleep last night, I. I. I won't be able to conceive that way anyway. ”

Yang Ming smiled, took advantage of the most exalted moment in the morning, turned over, and gave Dugu Feng'er a chance to get pregnant.

Dugu Feng'er is satisfied now.

"Shouldn't we try something else? I heard Shuyi say that Jiancheng and Pei Xi tried it out like that, "Dugu Feng'er is not shy at all, and after lying flat for a long time, she turned over and lay on Yang Ming.

Yang Ming smiled: "Another day." ”

"Not tonight?" Dugu Feng'er was surprised.

Tonight, tonight, anyway, your day has come, get pregnant early and rest assured.

Yang Ming nodded.

The skin on Dugu Feng'er's body is full of elasticity, because she often rides and shoots, her buttocks are also very big and tight, and Yang Ming can't put it down.

Enduring the harassment of Yang Ming's claws, Dugu Feng'er complained:

"Okay, okay, it's time to change clothes, Chen Kui has already reported, there is a person surnamed Cui waiting for you, aren't you there?"

Yang Ming smiled: "It's no good to see me at this time." ”

The person who came, called Cui Wei, came up from the Ten Branches, the grandson of Cui Fuli, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, was Yang Guang's Qianniu at first, and later went to Shangdang County to become a county leader.

This person came to him, it was definitely not a business trip, it was a private matter.

Dugu Feng'er waited for Yang Ming to change his clothes, and then she herself changed into a samurai costume and went to the lobby with Yang Ming.

She is now Yang Ming's personal maid guard.

In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Yang Ming saw Cui Wei, who was in his early thirties, and Dugu Huaien and the great craftsmen of Taifu Temple were also there.

Cui Wei hurriedly got up and saluted: "I take the liberty to ask to see Your Highness, and please ask Your Highness Haihan." ”

Yang Ming nodded, and then began to discuss the matter of the refining field with Dugu Huai Enyun Dingxing and others, completely leaving that Cui Wei aside.

During this period, Dugu Huaien was surprised to find that there was a black and purple place on Yang Ming's neck, and as a passerby, he couldn't help but glance at his niece.

Dugu Feng'er immediately glared back at him.

Either say that this person is straight, and people Yun Dingxing has also seen it, but everyone is doing business as usual, isn't this normal, what are you looking at?

Yang Ming also noticed Dugu Huaien's demeanor, and snorted coldly, the latter smiled, put his hands in his sleeves, and smirked.

Dugu Feng'er was suddenly angry, what are you laughing at? Is there anything funny? So she went directly around the table and kicked Dugu Huaien underneath.

Now it's okay, Dugu Huai'en smiled even more exaggeratedly.

Yang Ming reluctantly closed the dossier, beckoned to everyone, and said, "Let's do it first, you go down and make arrangements." ”

Dugu Huaien left happily.

After all, Feng'er belongs to their family, and now that she is favored by the prince, she will be the nobles of the East Palace in the future, and the trend of the Dugu family going down for so many years has finally been curbed.

He was really happy, so after leaving the Governor's Mansion, he didn't go to do business, but went to Duguxin to tell the other party about the great joy of the day.

So right now, Cui Wei is the only one left in the lobby, and Yang Ming said:

"Tell me, what's the matter?"
