"The Sui army was able to beat Korea so badly back then?" Xiao Han was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Lao Jiang and asked, "Didn't it mean that the country was completely defeated in the three expeditions?"
"Goguryeo?" Lao Jiang smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and said to Xiao Han: "Master Hou, you really give a nickname to Goguryeo. But I went on an expedition with the army, so I know more about it than what others say. Be more careful."
"Oh? Then tell me!" Xiao Han's eyes lit up and he grabbed Lao Jiang and asked.
Lao Jiang glanced at Xiao Han, then coughed lightly, and then said slowly: "Okay, but for the first time on the expedition, the old man did not accompany the army. He just listened to what they said: The Sui Dynasty underestimated Goguryeo, and the land army advanced rashly. As a result, the food and fodder could not keep up at all. The navy at sea encountered a strong wind that was rare in a century, and nine out of ten ships were damaged and capsized, so the first expedition was indeed a failure!
As for the second expedition, the Sui army had learned its lesson and took advantage of the opportunity. The naval and land armies complemented each other, so they marched all the way! They fought all the way to the royal city of Goguryeo, and were about to destroy the city and destroy the country. But at this moment, news came from the Central Plains that Yang Xuangan was rebelling! The Sui army had no choice but to abandon a large amount of baggage and hurried back to the Central Plains. However, this time, Goguryeo was defeated. "
"Then how could it fail the third time?" Xiao Han asked while Lao Jiang was finishing his words.
"That's because..." Lao Jiang looked up at the ship building above his head and said slowly: "Because the third time there was no failure at all. In fact, the third time I didn't even fight. It was so scary. Goguryeo sent its envoys to surrender! After that, the whole country in the Central Plains would be in chaos, and the Sui Dynasty would no longer be able to move northward."
After Lao Jiang finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.
This is a war between countries! Even if Xiao Han disliked Yang Guang, he still sighed heavily for the Sui Dynasty who failed three times in foreign wars.
Goguryeo has always been a concern in the Central Plains! This clown always jumps out from time to time to show off his presence, even if he is beaten up, he will not be remembered for long! So Yang Guang finished fighting Li Shimin and then continued to fight, but as far as Xiao Han knew, he didn't kill him until he got to Li Zhi.
It's a bit strange to say that whether it is Yang Guang or Li Shimin, they are both amazingly talented and extremely ambitious people!
However, what these two people could not accomplish was accomplished by a timid and cowardly Li Zhi who had no sense of existence in history. I wonder if these two people knew better and would beat their chests and wish to die again!
"Forget it, let's not talk about those old things. It's useless to talk about them! A while ago, the military newspaper said that they took the opportunity to occupy a large area of land south of Liao River, but they were dealt with by Dou Jiande of Hebei! It can be regarded as collecting some interest first. , I will settle with them one day!" Xiao Han let out a sullen sigh, no matter how displeased he is with Bangzi Country, he still has no ability to slap it to death! So I can only let it jump around in disgust.
When Lao Jiang heard what Xiao Han said, he also nodded. These national events have never been within their control as ordinary men.
Regardless of foreign affairs, Lao Jiang led Xiao Han to visit this big guy who made Yang Kai feel a little distressed.
We walked around the deck and then went down to the cabin to see the internal structure of the ship.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, large ships like this had begun to lay down their keels, and used the most commonly used watertight cabin design in later generations, so that even if the hull was broken, it would not sink completely.
As a newbie in shipbuilding, Xiao Han was curious about everything here. He wished he had two more pairs of eyes along the way so that he could take a closer look at everything.
In later generations, he had only driven swan-shaped pedal boats in the park, so he had an inexplicable fondness for the large boats in front of him.
From the front cabin to the back cabin, and finally back to the deck, Xiao Han carefully looked at every corner of the ship and asked Lao Jiang many questions. The only thing he didn't do was rely on the superiority of future generations. The ship pointed.
Because Xiao Han knows very well: no matter what technology, it has limitations in each era! Talking rashly when you don't fully understand it will only make people laugh.
After walking all the way, Xiao Han and Lao Jiang reached the top floor of the ship building.
Leaning on the handrail and looking into the distance, the river beneath your feet seems to be winding its way to the sun in the distance, just like the road to the future, rugged but eventually bright.
At sunset, the tired Xiao Han had just returned to the rice fields when he saw Ren Qing, dressed exactly like an old farmer, leaning against a tree by the roadside, enjoying the last sunlight of the day with his eyes closed.
"Hey, Ren Qing, what do you think I did when I went out today?" Xiao Han saw Ren Qing and was stunned for a moment, then immediately went over to him, proudly showing off to him.
Ren Qing, who was leaning against a locust tree that had almost lost all its leaves, slowly opened his eyes and glanced sideways at Xiao Han, but was too lazy to say anything.
Seeing that Ren Qing was so indifferent, Xiao Han asked for boredom, but he quickly rolled his eyes, leaned close to Ren Qing and whispered: "Hey, don't act like a boring gourd all day long! It's so boring! Tell me. Hey, I was out for a walk today, and suddenly I remembered a place! This place is amazing, there are all kinds of magical things, some of which you can't even dream of! What do you think, are you interested in going there? "
"Oh?" Ren Qing's expression remained unchanged and he asked calmly: "What's there?"
"What's there? I'll scare you if I tell you!" Xiao Han chuckled, took a step back, thought for a moment, then dragged the confused man in front of him, and finally said to Ren Qing: "But Well, there are too many things there for me to name or remember! But I can tell you that there are some magical foods there, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes!
Hey, hey, hey! Don't frown! Although the name is soil, the yield... After planting, one acre of land can produce forty or fifty dan! "
After saying these words, Xiao Han immediately hid behind the fool, feeling smug in his heart! It seems that he has imagined Ren Qing's roar, transforming into a husky, and rushing straight over!
However, to Xiao Han's disappointment, he waited and waited, not even a cat meowing, let alone a Haqishi meowing! Carefully, he poked his head out from Lunzi's shoulder and saw that Ren Qing in front of him was still leaning against the big tree, motionless.
"Hey! Ren Qing! The grain yield is forty or fifty dan per mu, not four or five dan!" Xiao Han shouted angrily when he saw Ren Qing, who was motionless as a mountain!
Ren Qing raised his head and glanced at Xiao Han, but still just said lightly. On the contrary, Xiaodong and Lengzi were stunned, looking like they had seen a ghost in the daytime!
"Are you awake?"
After being ignored several times in a row, Xiao Han felt proud! He jumped in front of Ren Qing, pointed at him and said angrily: "Last time you just heard that rice can be grown for three seasons, you were so excited that you almost squeezed me to death. This time you heard this, why didn't you even move? Move? Do you think I’m lying to you?”
Ren Qing opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Han in front of him, shook his head seriously, and said: "No!"
"Then what do you mean? Are you so excited?" Xiao Han said, and began to step back carefully to prevent Ren Qing from getting mad again and rushing up to pinch him...
However, Ren Qing obviously did not become stupid or crazy.
He just looked at Xiao Han quietly, and finally said: "I believe there is the place you mentioned in this world, but I want to ask, how far is that place from here? Will it be a narrow escape or a ten-death escape?"
Xiao Han was a little frightened by Ren Qing's calm gaze, and his originally domineering aura also weakened. He touched his nose and said: "It's not too far... If we can keep walking in a straight line, it will only be more than 30,000 miles..."
