Chapter 539 The King of Liaodong County
How to build a high platform of 20 zhang? I can't build it, don't look at it as just a descending platform, but your requirements are too high, twenty zhang, more than sixty meters, all built by wood, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you will fall.
With stones, it is even more impossible, and the project is even bigger.
What to do? He Chou found a small mountain with relatively soft soil, just 20 zhang high, set fire to it first, and burned the trees on the mountain cleanly, and then 2,000 people began to cut down the scorched trees, and then covered the scorched earth with new soil transported from elsewhere.
The stone slabs dismantled from the surrounding mountain castles were paved with steps up the mountain, and a platform was laid on the top, where the emperor stood.
The mountains are full of flags, and it looks quite majestic from a distance, but when you look closely, it is very rough.
He Chou is difficult, so he can't deliver the work, what should I do?
It's both soil and stone, it looks really unsightly, and with the aesthetics of today's emperor, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
"Time is too tight, we can't help it," Li Chun said: "Your Majesty is in Liaodong City, the city wall here cannot be demolished, but the demolition of the surrounding mountain cities, the project is too big, there is no way to complete it within the time limit required by Your Majesty, and at the moment you can only cover the black soil with gravel, slightly cover the ugliness." ”
He Chou nodded helplessly.
The normal surrender platform is actually five or six zhang high, and the twenty zhang high surrender platform has never been seen in the history books.
He Chou didn't have the ability to build such a high platform in such a short period of time, even if Yu Wenkai came back from the dead, he couldn't build it.
If you want to be beautiful, you have to be the same color, and it has to be a stone, because the stone shows solemnity.
So He Hou hurriedly greeted the military department and asked them to allocate people to collect gravel and spread the entire mountain, so that no black soil could be seen anyway.
The military department is also very difficult, the soldiers returned with merit, one by one arrogant, you let them work hard, it's not appropriate.
So the Ministry of War went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs again to discuss borrowing some people's husbands, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs said, I'm sorry, I really don't have any extra manpower here.
In the end, there was no choice but to force the people of Liaodong City and the nearby mountain city of Goguryeo to work as coolies.
Under normal circumstances, for the common people who have just occupied the territory, they will not be rude, because they are afraid that you will do something, and they don't want to increase their hostility, otherwise they will not be able to manage it in the future.
It doesn't hurt to kill some thorns, but it's not appropriate for you to recruit them all.
Sure enough, the local people of Goguryeo were very resistant, but the whip in the hands of the Sui army would not be soft, so nearly 20,000 civilians were requisitioned to build a surrender platform.
The entire high platform is divided into nine steps, with distinct levels, implying that the person who is surrendered is the honor of the ninety-five.
On each high platform, there are heavy soldiers, densely packed, in fact, it is also to cover up the ugliness.
After the high platform was built, the Ministry of Rites rehearsed a few times according to the etiquette and reported to the emperor.
Taichang Temple chose an auspicious day, and Yang Guang took his left and right preparation mansions and went out of the city.
There were large armies all around the high platform, and the ministers lined up on both sides to make way for the main road.
Yang Guang took Su Wei, Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu, Lai Hu'er, Yang Xuangan, Niu Hong and other ministers to the high platform step by step in the sound of music.
After reaching the top, Yang Guang only had his twelve thousand cattle by his side, as well as Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Niu Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of Taichang Temple.
Not far below, the officials of the Ministry of Rites read aloud the edict of surrender, and it took half an hour to recite it.
However, this official's voice is really awesome, the voice is high-pitched, the words are clear, and solemn.
Gao Yuan's gray-faced hands held a tray with a yellow silk on it, and a national seal was placed.
In fact, he has rehearsed many times under the guidance of the Ministry of Rites, and the first few times he staggered and burst into tears, but today, he can't cry.
Of course, he can't laugh, the ancestral heroic spirit is watching him from the sky, as the king of the dead country, he can't enter the ancestral grave.
Gao Yuan was alone, wearing a shameful, bells and whistles submission, and walked to the high platform step by step.
In the middle of the middle, there is a small square platform, Gao Yuan needs to stop here, and then read out the letter of surrender, which roughly means, I am ashamed of my ancestors, ashamed of the people, and did not govern the country well, but don't worry, now there is a king who is a hundred times stronger than me, and will continue to manage here, and we will be Sui people in the future.
When reading this paragraph, Gao Yuan couldn't help but almost cry several times, but he couldn't cry, otherwise the future would be difficult.
To put it bluntly, he is a soft bone and a cheap bone.
Yang Jian warned Goguryeo many times, but you didn't listen, and Yang Guang also warned you, if you had honestly gone to Luoyang to meet Yang Guang, there would be no today.
Do you say you're cheap? Of course, the first consideration of the king of a country is his own interests, Gao Yuan decided that the Great Sui would clean him up sooner or later, so he prepared in advance, since you chose to be tough, then you have a little backbone, can't Pyongyang City find a crooked neck tree?
After reading the letter of invitation, Gao Yuan continued to walk to a high place until he walked in front of Yang Guang.
And Yang Guang was naturally condescending, staring at Gao Yuan coldly:
"On the other side, although the land is narrow and there are few people, but the whole world is all my ministers, I have advised me several times, if you are easy to do with your heart, and follow the charter, you will be my good minister, but you will gather a corner of the people, be crazy and proud, and do not obey my words, so that there is today."
Gao Yuan's face was as dead as ashes: "Liaodong dung soil minister Yuan, please surrender to the Great Sui Emperor." ”
The corners of Yang Guang's mouth hooked, Niu Hong stepped forward to take the national seal, and then took a few steps forward and shouted towards the high platform:
"Goguryeo, die! On the same day, it was incorporated into the territory of the Great Sui and set up seven counties, Buyeo County, Xincheng County, Liaodong County, Domestic County, Beifu County, Wugu County, and Pyongyang County, with 54 counties under it."
"Canonize Gao Yuan as the king of Liaodong County, the general of Zhongwu."
Then, Yang Xuangan stood up again, holding a volume of manuscript in his hand and reading it out, to the effect that the local people would be exempted from paying taxes for three years, and they would be allowed to do business in the Central Plains.
As for those local clans, all of them moved to the mainland to resettle, and there should be Gao Xianzhi's ancestors among them.
But their migration is in batches, and they can't move at one time, and in history, Gao Xianzhi followed his father Gao Sheji to Anxi, which is also the new part of Xinjiang.
The reason for moving away the nobles is to fear that they will rebel, and the common people will be fooled when they rebel, and if you get rid of the fooled people, it will be much more stable.
On the third day after the surrender ceremony, the Eastern Route Army received good news.
The domestic city was conquered by Wei Xuan, Yuan Taizuo was captured, and Gao Jianwu committed suicide.
At this point, the entire territory of Goguryeo fell into the hands of the Great Sui, and Yang Guang personally conquered Goguryeo, and he was completely successful.
So next, Yang Guang is leaving, he can't wait to go back and pretend to be forced, I wanted to go back to the conquest, you don't agree, now you see it, right? It has to be me.
Goguryeo's mess still needs someone to clean it up.
The Great Sui originally had Liaodong County, but there was only one Tongding Town in the governance office, and the current new Liaodong County included Liaodong City and more than ten surrounding mountain cities.
The other six counties also appointed Taishou, Zhou Fashang was unlucky and became the Taishou of Pyongyang, and the 20,000 troops who followed him to fight Goryeo could not leave at the moment, and some small-scale rebellions needed to be eliminated.
He himself definitely didn't want to stay in this place, but the emperor's order could not be violated, and the person who recommended him to be the chief guard of Pyongyang was You Won, the comforting envoy who came to protect the children.
Therefore, the heart of the reader is very small.
Xincheng County Taishou is Xue Zuo, a small hussar general, suddenly became a Taishou, it sounds quite awesome, but it is actually a chore, he will have to worry about it almost every day in the future, worried about being assassinated by the locals, in his opinion, such a Taishou, don't do it.
The Taishou of the humble and luxurious city is Gao Yixian, he can still accept it, because this is Dalian, and it is his hometown Bohai County across the sea.
Wugu Taishou is Duan Wenzhen's eldest son Duan Zhen, the domestic Taishou is Huang Junhan, and Fuyu Taishou is Yang Wanshi.
Yang Wanshi is about to vomit blood, I am especially the Zuo Yu Hou rate of the East Palace, the prince needs me, why put me in such a place? I'm not convinced.
So he directly asked his eldest brother Yang Xuangan and uncle Yang to intercede for him, but this time, the two ignored him.
You stupid thing, the more chaotic the place, the only way to fish in troubled waters, the Taishou of the Central Plains, you dare to mess around? But here, no one cares about you, and if you work for a few more years, they will transfer you back.
Where is Fuyu City, Kaiyuan City, Liaoning Province, a good place, this is located in the Songliao Plain, rich in grain, you are not satisfied?
We have only a few plain areas in China, all of which are large grain-producing areas, and it is difficult for you to be a magistrate in the black soil of the Northeast Plain, and the benefits will definitely not be less, it depends on whether you can do it or not.
The Taishou of the seven counties, except for Zhou Fashang, are all of the younger generation, because of the high seniority, Yang Guang is embarrassed to arrange people here, so he can only let young people do it, but you have to leave an old man who is serious, so Zhou Fashang fell blood mold and was left by Yang Guang.
I'm old, far away from my homeland and staying here, Zhou Fa still wants to cry without tears.
So he wrote a letter early and sent someone to Jingshi to present it to the prince, you must get me as soon as possible, I don't want to die in another country.
In the seventh year of the Great Cause, on October 13, Yang Guang took the Lulong Road and returned to the Central Plains.
Originally, he entered Shanxi from Hebei, but the rebellion in Hebei was not over, and the ministers advised him not to do so.
So Yang Guang could only walk the road, and then go south from Yanmen Pass to Jinyang County, Taiyuan County, and accept Jinyang Palace.
After Li Yuan received the news, he spent a lot of money to pave the road and clean up the county seat.
The Jinyang Palace he supervised was extremely magnificent, and the materials used in it were extravagant to show the dignity of the emperor, and the money he had originally obtained had already been spent, and a little oil and water had not fallen, and he owed a debt to the martial arts.
But this debt, he doesn't plan to repay, it has been reported to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I am repairing the palace for His Majesty, this deficit should be solved by your Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs is also on fire, the old accounts have not been paid, and the new accounts are born again, yes, this grandma noodles. (End of chapter)
