Chapter 509: The Sailors Meet

"Shuyi is such a character, always talking nonsense," Yang Ming saw Feng Yuzhi in Wei Xianhui's bedroom, and the latter's expression was very wrong at the moment.

Wei Xianhui now has a big belly, knowing that it is inconvenient for her to be here, so she quietly retreated.

"You scared me today," Feng Yuzhi lowered his head and whispered:

"I have always regarded you as a friend I met on the spring outing, but I always ignore that you are the crown prince and the prince of the Great Sui, and you invited Ning Huanzao to come to Beijing, in fact, you are putting him under house arrest to coerce Ning Changzhen, right?"

It seems that the girl is more transparent than she imagined, but Yang Ming can't recognize it:

"A little warning, house arrest can't be talked about, if you think so, then what is the reason for you to come to Beijing? Is it also house arrest? ”

Feng Yuzhi looked up and said, "You know why I'm here." ”

"Heh" Yang Ming couldn't help but smile: "I really don't know." ”

Feng Yuzhi lowered his head again: "Ning Changzhen is a person who eats soft and not hard, you used the wrong method, although we also have concubines in Lingnan, and they are patriarchal, but Ning Changzhen has seven sons, and your house arrest of Ning Weizao will not threaten Ning Changzhen, it will only make him more dissatisfied." ”

Yang Ming said lightly: "Lingnan is the territory of the Great Sui, Ning Chang is really His Majesty's courtier, he has no qualifications to be dissatisfied, he is disloyal to the court, there is no benefit, I am actually giving him a chance, but he didn't grasp it, but your grandfather, is sincere to the court, Your Majesty is relieved to hand over Lingnan to your family for generations to manage." ”

He is still fooling Feng Yuzhi, no one can occupy Lingnan, for generations, only our surname is Yang.

Feng Yuzhi sighed faintly and said, "If Ning Changzhen still refuses to borrow food this time, what will you do?" ”

"It's not going to happen, at most it's a few reprimands," Yang Ming said with a smile: "A person is too picky, it's a shortcoming, but it's not a sin, Lingnan is special, unlike other places in the Great Sui, the imperial court still has to be handed over to you for management after all." ”

Feng Yuzhi nodded and said, "I'd better go and see Shuyi, your one is quite heavy." ”

Yang Ming nodded, and Feng Yuzhi got up to leave.

The next day, Gao's mother and daughter returned to Beijing and went to the East Palace to meet Yang Yinjiang.

Changsun Sheng did not have a title until he died, but he had a first-class rank in the Zhuguo, so the Gao family, who was the wife of the Shangzhuguo, needed to meet Yang Yinjiang when the mourning period expired.

is not knighted, Yang Guang is actually right, because those who have titles eat the treasury, and the Great Sui inherited from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian in order to appease the old Zhou courtiers, Zhou's titles, the Great Sui recognized, and also canonized a large number of them.

So much so that there are too many people with titles in the Great Sui, and it is a huge amount of money for the treasury to support them every year.

That's why Yang Guang will change the lordship, in order to reduce the burden on the country.

In the Guanghua Palace, Yang Yinjiang received Gao's mother and daughter, shhh

Once, Yang Ming proposed to marry Changsun Sheng's daughter, Changsun Wujian, to Yang Rui, but Yang Yinjiang didn't agree at that time, and still doesn't agree now.

And very insistent, Yang Ming had no choice but to give up.

Because the current Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji are already close ministers by Yang Rui's side, there is no need to rely on marriage to get closer for the time being.

Faced with Gao's grievances and cries, Yang Yinjiang comforted:

"The three sons of Changsun Sheng are so despicable, this is what the palace did not expect, and they actually drove your mother and daughter out of the house, no matter what, the King of Qin and the King of Wei have already given your mother and son in Beijing, ready to go down to the house, which can be regarded as a safe place, and the palace will take care of you in the future, and the eldest grandson's family will dare to mess around, and the palace will send it away."

"Princess Xie is in charge of my mother and daughter," Gao hurriedly pulled his eldest grandson Wujian to salute Yang Yinjiang.

Yang Yinjiang couldn't help but glance at the eldest grandson Wujian again: "How old is this year?" ”

"Back to the crown princess, she is eleven years old," said the eldest grandson.

Yang Yinjiang smiled and nodded: "I look quite upright, but I have lost some weight, and now I don't need to go back and forth anymore, stay in Beijing with your aunt." ”

"Crown Princess Xie is placed," said the eldest grandson.

Gao's mother and daughter were finally kicked out, and the three sons of the patriarch Sun Sheng did not want Gao's death to be buried with their parents, and the eldest grandson Wuji was too insistent that the brothers completely fell out.

Yang Rui is eight years old this year, three years younger than the eldest grandson Wuji, and has already made his own decisions, rewarding more than a dozen slaves and maids to the eldest grandson Wuji, plus more than a dozen old servants of the Gao family, their family is in Beijing, which is not sad, but it is definitely incomparable with before.

At this time, Yang Ming happened to come back from the court, and as soon as Gao saw Yang Ming, he instantly became nervous, with a strange expression, and Yang Yinjiang was also surprised when he saw it in his eyes.

"Wuji is in the world, you can go and see him," Yang Ming said.

Gao nodded hurriedly and hurriedly left with his daughter.

Yang Yinjiang looked at the back of the two leaving, and said strangely: "This woman is so strange, have you seen it, she is blushing?" ”

Yang Ming's face was helpless: "Who knows." ”

Yang Yinjiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Have you done anything before that made people think about it?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what would I do to a woman?" After Yang Ming sat down, he took the towel and wiped his face, and said, "Did you ask Xuangan to send food to Zhang Xutuo?" ”

Yang Yinjiang came to her husband and sat down, and said with a smile: "I know that you are difficult, and I want to be able to share the burden for you." ”

Yang Ming nodded: "I just received Zhang Xutuo's report today, and I only learned about this matter, and Shandong will not end well." ”

"What's going on?" Yang Yinjiang frowned instantly.

Yang Ming said: "Zhang Xutuo led his troops to Bohai County to pursue the king thief, but Bohai County also produced a thief, called Sun Xuanya, and Pingyuan County produced two, Zhang Jincheng and Hao Xiaode, and the county lord of Qi Bo Mengrang also rebelled, and now he has gathered rebels, and Wang Bo is one south and one north, and Zhang Xutuo is attacked." ”

Yang Yinjiang was dumbfounded: "How can this be?" ”

"The grain gap in Shandong is too big, and now the chaos has become a mess," Yang Ming sighed: "What I am most worried about at the moment is still Hebei, the two places are close to each other, and the chaos in Shandong is only afraid that it will affect Hebei, and if Hebei is chaotic again, the military logistics of the expeditionary army will be broken." ”

Yang Yinjiang sighed bitterly: "The treasury is empty, it is difficult to receive help, and now I can only count on Zhang Xutuo, and I will stay up for another three or five months, and wait until the army returns south, and the problem will be solved." ”

Yang Ming nodded, Goguryeo can't be defeated this time, once defeated, Shandong and Hebei will be out of control.

Donglai County, the sailor who came to Hu'er, on the third day of the fifth month, killed cattle and sheep to sacrifice to the gods, and set sail on an expedition.

According to the original plan, they were going to encircle the Humble Sailors, but in the vast sea, there was no trace of them, and in desperation, the three hundred warships reunited and headed towards Pyongyang.

They had only two months to annihilate the Goguryeo naval division and march into Pyongyang, and in early July, the naval forces of Laihu'er needed to land at Pyongsu and form an encirclement south of Pyongyang.

On May 11, in the outer waters of the mouth of the Hunshui Sea, the Dasui sailors and the Goguryeo sailors finally met.

Lai Hu'er stood on the top deck of the ship, looking high and far away, his face solemn.

The eldest son came to Kai and said: "The enemy army has been arrayed, when will we attack?" ”

"Don't worry," Lai Hu'er raised his hand and said: "The draft of my sea ship is too deep, and the speed of the ship is not superior, if it is attacked, the enemy can rely on its flexibility and adopt the strategy of creating guerrillas, which is not good for me, and give Fei Qingnu an order, and he will lead the fleet of the headquarters, and attack the front of the enemy at night, Zhou Fashang and Fan Zigai will attack the left and right wings, and Cai Ju will lead the fighting ships around the rear, so as to form a circle and fight closely. ”

The Great Sui Naval Division, most of which were large ships, carried a very large number of soldiers, and if they could board the ships to fight, the advantages were very obvious.

It is precisely because there are too many soldiers on board that the ship cannot run fast, and if it is beaten by others and sinks one, it will kill many people.

Lai Kai nodded: "My army is well equipped, and it is beneficial for me to fight at night, but I may not be able to surround it." ”

Lai Hu'er smiled: "It will definitely not be surrounded, the enemy army also knows the advantages and disadvantages with me, naturally it will not be so easy for me to get close, once they are detected, they will definitely withdraw, but I still have to give such an order, if I tell them, the enemy will definitely run, they will not do their best to surround them." ”

"My son has been taught," he said.

Lai Hu'er said: "There are no fathers and sons in the army. ”

"Yes," Lai Kai instructed the flag officer, giving orders to the fleets.

The flag order of the sailor division is very complicated, and each flagship is used to give orders, and there will be flag officers waving the order flag, playing the flag, and passing the order out.

Sometimes the arrow is also used, that is, a rattling arrow, the arrow is bald, and it cannot kill people.

If there is a foggy day or night, it is to send the signal by fire, and if the distance is too far, it is to send the order by boat.

On the night march, each ship also had to hang lanterns on the mast to identify the position of friendly troops, five lights, which were the flagship, four were the front battalion, three were the left battalion, two were the right battalion, and one was the rear battalion.

Under the command of Laihu'er, it is divided into five divisions, his Chinese army is one, the henchman general Fei Qingnu, is the forward, the two wings respond, it is Zhou Fashang and Fan Zigai, and the support troops are Cai Ju, the former hussar general of Xiangyang Mansion, who was frightened by Yang Ming, this person is a person who understands the navy and Han Sengshou.

Fan Zigai is the Taishou of Yuanling County, and has a good relationship with Zhou Fashang.

The night of the sea is very terrifying, but fortunately, the place where Laihu'er and Goguryeo meet is inshore, and the waves are not very high, but it is extremely difficult for people to endure on the boat.

That's why, the sailors who came to protect the children were composed of the Jianghuai Navy and the Lingnan Platoonists, all of whom were southerners, and the northerners couldn't resist this kind of bump on the boat at all.

The familiarity of southerners with water is not comparable to that of northerners.

At nightfall, the temperature plummeted, and the main ship sounded the fire horn.

The 300 warships of the Sui army gradually dispersed, taking advantage of the dark moon and high winds, and quickly approached in the direction of the Goguryeo naval division. (End of chapter)
