Chapter 490: It must be a big deal

(It's still a chapter today, brothers, there are some trivial things to deal with at home)

On the side of Donglai County, Laihu'er and Yuan Hongji, who are in charge of shipbuilding, have almost driven people to death.

Because the shipbuilding progress could not keep up, the emperor asked for 300 large ships, but at present, less than 200 have been built, and the rest are still under construction.

Therefore, Laihu'er could only force the migrant workers to work day and night, and he also lived in a barracks not far from the wharf and personally supervised it.

Historically, in order to build these 300 sea ships, 200,000 people were used, and nearly half of them died, but this time, the situation was slightly better, because Laihu'er had some scruples.

Everyone knows that the prince hates the most is the abuse of people's power, once the pressure and persecution cause an excessively high death toll, the prince will not be able to pass, and with the lesson of the Hebei civil uprising, Laihu'er will not dare to mess around.

The completed warship has been launched for drills, so that the soldiers can adapt to naval warfare, after all, it is the Jianghuai Naval Army, which used to be on the Yangtze River, and the waves on the sea, which are two different things.

However, many of the soldiers under his command are fishermen who are pan-sea, and there are many people who understand the characteristics of the sea.

Cadets and military cadets are two different things, the former is a formal establishment, and the latter is a temporary worker.

80,000 Jianghuai water troops, 60,000 to protect the children, and the remaining 20,000 were returned to Zhou Fashang, originally the two were the chief and deputy governor, but later in the emperor's will, they became the general manager of Pyongyang Province and the governor of Canghai Province.

The nature of such changes is different.

The deputy chief manager is not suitable to report to the emperor, and he has to discuss with the chief manager, but after Zhou Fashang led the way, he had a lot of self-decision-making power, which made Lai Hu'er a headache.

Because these two people have always been at odds, he is afraid that he will not be able to control each other.

Regarding the contradiction between the two, there is actually nothing wrong with Lai Hu'er, after all, Zhou Fashang is a person, there are more people who have offended, in the early years, Zuo Wuwei under Liu Chang was a general, after Liu Chang's death, Pei Ju took over, Zhou Fashang offended Pei Ju again, and was kicked to Yongzhou (Lingling County) under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou as the governor, so as to get close to Yang Ming.

Because Zhou Fa is still considered to be Shi Wansui's person, Yang Ming has also been promoting the other party, and now he is a princeling.

In the barracks, Zhou Fashang came uninvited, and he didn't have to protect his son to speak, so he sat down by himself, and then said:

"Our army has already detected the activities of the Humble Sailor Division in the open sea, should we drive it away, so that the enemy will not observe our military formation drills."

In the barracks, almost all of them were people who came to protect his son, more than thirty people, either brothers and sons, or generals who had followed him for half his life, plus a few staff members.

Except for Laihu'er, everyone in the hall turned a blind eye to Zhou Fashang, what should they do.

Lai Hu'er put down the wooden stick in his hand, frowned, and said: "My sailor is not yet skilled, and it is not suitable to go to sea, so I can only send a few warships to guard it, and there is no need to drive it away." ”

Zhou Fashang pondered for a moment, nodded, and said: "In the future, the first battle of our army will be in the Liaodong Sea, if we can deploy in advance and eliminate the humble water division in one fell swoop, and enter the Hunshui (outside Pyongyang) in the future, the pressure will be much less." ”

Cousin Lai Chengmin said:

"There are only more than 60 sea ships in the humble and luxurious water division, as soon as our army arrives, it will inevitably flee in the wind and rush to Pyongyang to join the water division in the muddy water, so that there is a fighting force, General Manager Zhou's suggestion is good, but it doesn't work, people are not stupid, 60 ships beat me 300 ships, what kind of general dares to give such a military order?"

"You don't seem to understand what I'm saying," Zhou Fashang said coldly: "I just said that it was deployed in advance, knowing that the other party would run, why didn't you think of a way to make him unable to run?" ”

"The vast sea, as far as the eye can see, our ship is too large, the speed of the ship may not be superior, it is better to fight a decisive battle than to pursue the enemy," said the comforting envoy You Yuan, "What's more, our task is to join the army of Governor Woo Moon outside the city of Pyongyang, and it is not appropriate to spend time in the humble sea." ”

Zhou Fashang shook helplessly, feeling that talking to these two people was playing the piano to the cow, but it was Laihu'er who understood what he meant, and nodded:

"You can give it a try, in the first battle in the future, you can confuse the enemy army, lure it into my trap, if it succeeds, annihilate it in one fell swoop, otherwise, you need to rush to Xishui immediately."

Zhou Fashang nodded: "That's what I mean, the timing of the merger with the main force by land must not be delayed." ”

"Manager Zhou's statement is wrong, why didn't I understand what you mean just now?" You Yuan Yin Yang Strange Qi Dao.

Zhou Fashang snorted coldly: "You envoy Jun doesn't know the way to use soldiers, so naturally he can't understand it." ”

Look, can this temper not offend anyone? Who is You Yuan? Yushi Taizhi Shushu Yushi, has always been an official eunuch family, born in Guangping Youshi, that is, Wu'an County, Xiangguo County, Hebei Province.

This person is the emperor's confidant, and his job is specially sueped, do you dare to provoke him?

You Yuan was also annoyed: "As the head of the navy, I despise my colleagues and disrespect my superiors, but I have ugly words ahead, if you dare to come nonsense, I will ask Your Majesty to deal with it by military law." ”

The corners of Zhou Fashang's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to speak.

In fact, You Yuan is not the kind of unreasonable person, this comforting envoy is actually qualified, for decades, the power of being an official is already perfect, he just scares and scares Zhou Fashang, and he doesn't really care, after all, the other party's stinky temper is completely the same as Shi Wansui, such a person is not welcomed, but respected.

Lai Hu'er played a round and said: "Okay, okay, the military account discussion is to express their opinions, Demai (Zhou Fashangzi) is this character, you can't care." ”

You Yuan nodded: "I won't bother with him." ”

Other people's comfort envoys, arrogant people, but the comfort envoys under the command of Hu'er are very honest, the reason is to look at people to do things, people come to protect children is Rong Guogong, the emperor's absolute descendant, and only when the brain is sick will he not deal with others.

On Hu'er's side, he received a message from the prince from the eldest grandson Laiyu early, and the prince was hinting to him not to get along with Zhou Fashang, and the two worked together.

Of course, Zhou Fashang also received a warning from the prince, and from that time on, Lai Hu'er felt that Zhou Fashang's attitude towards himself had greatly improved, unlike before, the nose was not the nose, and the face was not the face.

A top-level important minister like Lai Hu'er has long been perfect in his own cultivation skills, so he naturally won't bother with Zhou Fashang.

"You might as well sum it up now, how to lure the enemy, if you can annihilate the Humble Water Master in one fell swoop, as Demai said, it will be easy to fight the battle of Xishui in the future."

Inside the barracks, dozens of people began to gather around to discuss.

The humble and luxurious sailor has not left yet, in fact, he is investigating the movements of the Great Sui sailor, and Goguryeo's side already knows the marching sequence of coming to Hu'er.

After all, Comrade Yang Guang has already announced it to the public.

The road taken by the sailors is called Canghai Road, and there are 80,000 sailors, and from the number of people, Goguryeo can roughly judge how many sea ships there are in the Great Sui.

The military position of Lai Hu'er is the chief of the Pyongyang Provincial March, and I know that this is to fight Pyongyang.

For Comrade Yang Guang's playing of cards, Lai Hu'er was also very helpless, but he was used to it.

The lowly and luxurious sailors are basically going to withdraw to the water, so how to encircle and kill them, they need to set up an ambush on the sea route where the other party retreats to the water.

The sea march will not be too far from the coastline to prevent accidents, so Laihu'er believes that at that time, a hundred ships should be sent directly to the garrison of the Beilu Navy, and then set up ambushes on the coastal sea route, waiting for the enemy to flee to the river.

The sea is vast, not to mention sixty boats, you are six hundred, and it is not easy to find it, because in a small area, the sea looks flat, but in a large area, the sea surface is curved.

That's why when a ship comes from a distance, you have to see the mast before you can see the hull.

Because the earth is round, but the Great Sui does not know, it is believed that it is a seamount formed by ocean waves.

Under the tent of Hu'er, there are many people who know about water warfare, and there are also many generals who are good at marching by land.

The first expedition to Goguryeo during the Kaihuang period, the head of the navy was Zhou Luohu, this person was very powerful, but unfortunately he died, but his sons all knew how to fight water, among them, the eldest son Zhou Zhong'an, the second son Zhou Zhongyin, and the third son Zhou Zhongyan, the most mantle, Yang Ming's reuse of Zhou Zhongmou, in fact, is not very powerful.

Zhou Zhong'an is in Li Jingbu right now, but Zhou Zhongyin and Zhou Zhongyan are both here to protect the children.

"The last general thinks that it is better to give up the humility and luxury directly, go straight to the water, and annihilate the main force of its naval division in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder," Zhou Zhongyin said: "Although there is a risk of being flanked, but my big ship is strong, as long as the army behind the palace arranges a number of building ships, the enemy army can not break our sea array, can win the opportunity for the main force, wait until it is successful, and then turn around to clean up and chase the enemy." ”

What he means is that if the humble water master chases after him from behind, block it first, and wait for the main force of the water to be destroyed, and then clean up the humble water master.

Zhou Fashang said with a smile: "Actually, it's not proper, the enemy wants to join forces, and we also want them to join forces, so as to facilitate annihilation in one fell swoop, my ship building is tall and large, and the speed of the ship suffers, if the enemy army insists on fleeing at that time, I can't chase it, and then frequently attack and disturb me, it will be annoying." ”

"That's the truth," Lai Hu'er said with a smile: "So when we fight, we can only surround it, and we can't be attacked by the enemy, not because we can't catch up." ”

Zhou Zhongyin was puzzled: "Then why do we build so many ships and ships, instead of building more fighting ships and boats?" ”

Don't ask me about this, this is set by His Majesty, come to Hu'er and look at Yuan Hongji and say:

"Yuyang Gong can answer him."

Why don't you answer and let me answer? Can I say that's what Your Majesty meant? In this way, wouldn't those generals who knew about water warfare feel that His Majesty was commanding indiscriminately?

So he said perfunctorily: "In a decisive battle, it is natural to use a big ship, that's the reason." ”

Your reasoning is untenable, Zhou Zhongyin wanted to ask again, but he was kicked by his younger brother underneath, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth with a puzzled face.

The reason why Yang Guang ordered to build more big ships was because the big ships looked mighty and majestic, and they could resist wind and waves at sea, and the battle to destroy Chen Changjiang that year was indeed the role played by the Wuya big ships, so he felt that the bigger the ship, the better.

So much so that the Great Sui Sailor has a major flaw, the speed is not good.

Of course, it's not that Yang Guang really doesn't understand, but the established strategy of the naval division, which is to enter Pyongyang and join forces with Yuwenshu, the ship is too small to transport so many soldiers.

It is not so much that the army of Laihu'er is a naval army, but rather that the army is the main army, supplemented by the naval army.

The main task of the people who came to protect the children was to fight Pyongyang, and the water division was just an appetizer.

In history, the Great Sui attacked Goguryeo for the first time, and Lai Hu'er directly attacked Pyongyang City without waiting for reinforcements, after breaking the Zhushui Water Division, and he did enter the outer city.

However, this was a plan to lure the enemy in, and the reason why Laihu'er dared to enter was because he found out that the main force of Goguryeo's royal division was in the Sasu formation north of Pyongyang, and he had done it with Yuwenshu, so he thought that Pyongyang City was empty.

After entering the outer city, the army under the command of Laihu'er thought that the soldiers of Goguryeo had run away, so they plundered the outer city, but they were eaten by others little by little.

Of the 40,000 people who entered the city, in the end, Laihu'er only ran out with more than 6,000 people, and if it weren't for Zhou Fashang's formation, he would also be eaten by the pursuers behind his buttocks.

It is equivalent to Zhou Fashang saving his life, which is why, the second and third time he fought Goguryeo, he still came to Hu'er to partner with Zhou Fashang in the navy, and the two brothers had a tacit understanding.

On the side of Luoyang, Yang Guang was preparing his edict to conquer Goguryeo, which was written by a group of talented and talented literati in the Inner History Province, and Yang Guang corrected it on the side.

An edict like this, that is every word that needs to be carefully considered, to find a justifiable reason for the expedition to Goguryeo, I can't say that I don't like it, so I have to fight it.

Because the edict is not only for the people of the Great Sui, but also for all the surrounding countries to see, it must be upright and bright, as if I don't fight Goguryeo, I will be guilty.

"Your Majesty, may you please see this?" Lu Chu presented the beginning of Yu Shinan's main pen to the emperor.

After Yang Guang glanced at it, he threw it away directly:

"Not good."

This is the eleventh time he has been killed, and the people in the Ministry of Internal History usually do what they do is to draft the emperor's edict, and they are the group of people who know the emperor's mind the most and are the best at writing, but their performance today did not satisfy Yang Guang.

Yu Shinan sighed and re-wrote, intending to ponder again.

Pei Ju and Xue Daoheng, who were present, glanced at each other and were silent, these two people are now fine, Yang Guang called them over to help the senators, because these two people also did this before.

Especially Xue Daoheng, all of Yang Jian's edicts and edicts were written by him, and he wrote this, he was an expert among experts, so he was summoned by Yang Guangda from Beijing.

But he didn't speak much today, because he guessed that the emperor had an idea in his own mind.

Of course, Pei Ju also guessed it, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's better to write a cursive article, so that I can know the essence of it, and I can start writing." ”

Yang Guanghe smiled, came to the table, took the pen handed by Lu Chu, and after a moment of silence, wrote the first sentence:

The great virtue of heaven and earth, the frost is in the autumn order, the sage is benevolent, and the armor is in the penal code. Therefore, it is known that there is a slaughter in creation, righteousness is selfless, and the emperor's use is to fight, and it is not enough.

Either Yang Guang is really talented, and this person's knowledge is absolutely ranked among the emperors of the Chinese dynasties.

This sentence means that heaven and earth are kind to the people, and frost will also fall in the autumn, the sages are benevolent, and they must also write the matter of military preparation and war into the law, and the heavens and the earth and the saints have the grace of creation and the punishment of killing for the people, which is selfless, and the emperor is forced to use war.

Well, he gave himself a head first, which means that I hit it, not that I want to hit it, but that I obey the destiny of heaven and must hit it, which is the meaning of God.

After Xue Daoheng came over and read this sentence, he immediately guessed that the emperor already had a draft in his heart, because Yang Guang's sentence was written in one go, and there was no mistake in writing.

Because Xue Daoheng's old business is to do this, what is drafting? It's just a draft, and there are often changes, so there's no time to do it overnight.

"Heaven and earth have slaughter, and the emperor also has slaughter, good! Your Majesty's sentence has the meaning of inheriting the destiny of heaven, and there is no need to change a word," Xue Daoheng sincerely admired.

A person who had never patted his ass said such a sentence, Yang Guang was immediately overjoyed and said with a smile:

"Xuan Qing is a master of this way, can't he change a word?"

Xue Daoheng shook his head: "Every word is fine, and the minister can't change it." ”

Pei Ju and others also hurriedly patted their ass, and Yang Guang was happy, and he put pen to paper again;

Banquan, Danpu, Mo Bandit Gong Xing, take the chaos and faint, and the salty is smooth. In addition, Ganye swore to the master, Xia Kai inherited the business of Dayu, the suburbs asked for guilt, and Zhou Fa became the ambition of the king. Before the eternal prison, it is a deserved.

The meaning of this sentence is that the battle of Banquan (the battle between the emperor and the Yan Emperor) and the battle of Danpu (the battle between Yao's eldest son Danzhu and Shun) are all wars that conform to the will of heaven.

Yang Guang's sentence mostly refers to ancient wars, and they are all righteous crusades against injustice, so there is nothing to find fault with.

"Your Majesty might as well do it in one go, and I'll read it again at that time to see if there are any changes that need to be made," Pei Ju meant, you hurry up and write, you have a manuscript, what are you rubbing? It's getting dark, and I'm going home.

Yang Guang laughed: "Don't be in a hurry. ”

Just pick up the pen and write.

After a while, the 1,068-character edict of Goguryeo was completed, and the ministers came up to watch.

Yang Guangchang let out a long breath, put down the pen, and said with a smile:

"The cunning thief of Goguryeo, I grit my teeth and hate it, so that this edict can be accomplished overnight."

The corners of Xue Daoheng's mouth twitched, you are really hypocritical, you have been pondering this edict for at least a month.

Well, it's really well written, so I don't have to pick one.

One of the sentences: And the Goryeo clown, unconscious and irreverent, between Chongju Bo and Jie, recommending the realm of Liao and Shao Sui, although the Han Dynasty and Wei were killed, the nest was temporarily tilted, and the chaos was more obstructive, and the planting was also collected.

directly made Xue Daoheng stunned.

Anyway, the whole edict has one meaning, if you don't fight Goguryeo, I'm sorry for heaven and earth, sages, benevolent monarchs, emperors, people, and myself.

Goguryeo, you have to fight.

That's why I never dare to ask for monthly passes and rewards, because of the renewal of the crotch pull, haha, alas, no way, once a man gets married, he will be free.
