"Gaoju [gou] Li was originally a fiefdom of Jizi in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was a county in China during the Han and Jin Dynasties. Isn't it a royal land in the whole world? How can it be forgiven that a small land dares to become a country? Now that I have come to rule, How can the world turn a country of civilization and etiquette into a desolate and barbaric land? Northern Expedition!" After the imperial edict was issued, the four regions of the Sui Dynasty immediately began preparations.
Yuan Hongsi, the general manager of Youzhou, came to Haikou to build 300 ships. Officials supervised shipbuilding, and craftsmen and servants stood in the water day and night, working overtime without a moment's rest.
There are Song family caravans stationed near various seaports, and they need some strong and durable wood to build large ships, which they need to provide.
These centuries-old wood are abundant overseas, not to mention Lingnan. What's surprising is that the craftsmen and servants didn't need to be urged by their superiors. They worked hard every one of them, and many of them even had maggots from the waist down without stopping.
Luo Changfeng is one of them. He has been in the water for three days and three nights. His face is pale and he is covered in cold sweat.
Just after placing a wooden board, Luo Changfeng suddenly felt dizzy. He held his forehead and then fell directly into the water with a smile on his face.
"It's fallen, it's fallen! Another one has fallen." The people next to him shouted, not panicking at all, but rather envious.
After a while, the supervisor here, Yuan Douya, brought someone over, and it turned out to be a doctor wearing the Song family's standard uniform.
After stepping forward to check carefully, the doctor nodded: "It is natural dizziness, and his body is damaged. Under normal circumstances, he will not survive for three days." Hearing this, Yuan Douya was a little nervous: "Then will the Song family still accept it?" The doctor grinned. He opened his mouth, showing his white teeth, and smiled: "Stop it!" The manager was relieved, turned around and said loudly to the farmer who was still working in the water, but looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Have you all seen this? As long as you work hard and don't care about your life, when you are about to die, the Song family will come to collect your bodies. What are you afraid of? As long as you don't die, you can do it for me!"
"Oh!" The peasants cheered immediately. Some people were so excited that they fainted. The manager waved his hand and quickly dragged the man up.
After a while, the Song doctor applied some medicine to the two people, cleaned them up casually, and took them away. The peasants worked more energetically.
The manager checked the progress of the shipbuilding and left with satisfaction. Since the emperor's construction began a few years ago, Song family caravans have been stationed at various sites for a long time. In addition to buying and selling some useful daily necessities, they also did another strange thing.
The civilian craftsman was about to die, so he sent it to the Song family and they kept it. Of course, the officials responsible for supervising the work will also receive kickbacks, ranging from a few dozen cents to a few dozen taels, depending on the quality of the craftsmen and workers.
Although they got the money easily at first, they still wondered what the Song family wanted these people to do. After asking carefully, I found out that Lingnan and overseas areas, with high mountains and deep forests, are full of miasma and poisonous insects, and require a large number of manpower to open up the land.
But when the previous emperor was there, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and most of them were unwilling to go. But now the work is hard, the people are weak, and the construction projects everywhere are urgent. Some people can't hold on and fall down directly.
Isn’t this living person wasted? So the Song family brought a large number of medicines and doctors and stationed them at various construction sites.
Just wait for the person to die and take him away immediately after being treated. Then the officials would just report sudden death.
Anyway, if they don’t sell it, they will die suddenly. Now they can get money, save lives, and make them live with their conscience. Isn’t this the best of all three?
As a result, after the construction of canals, construction of various palaces, and the east capital Luoyang, etc., 56 out of 10 people in various places reported sudden death.
Because the money came so quickly and easily, nine out of ten people were missing in the beginning.
The civilian husbands are not fools. In the past, the Song family had good treatment, but they didn't go because the family was also good. People generally don’t want to leave their hometown.
Now as long as you work hard, you can get a good employer, so why are you hesitating? In the end, prominent families from various places discovered something was wrong.
Why was it that after the hard work, no one took care of their farmland, orchards, and forests? One by one, they quickly sent people to investigate.
Good guy! If the Song family continues to do this, not to mention that no one from such a big family will farm their own land, I am afraid they will have to farm their own land in the end.
They hurriedly reported to the emperor one by one, saying that the Song family had ulterior motives and secretly took in a large number of craftsmen and civilians with the intention of rebelling.
Yang Guang was drinking with the little yellow cat at the time, surrounded by eighty-eight beauties of all ethnic groups waiting on him. When he saw the memorial, he immediately threw it aside.
Isn't this slander? Would a good brother like me, Brother Le, rebel? impossible! The aristocratic families had no choice but to send doctors and supervisors to various construction sites to keep an eye on them.
Seeing that the peasants were tired, they quickly let them rest. Seeing that the peasants were not eating well, I reluctantly gave them extra food despite the bleeding. When they were sick, I quickly asked about their well-being and treated their illnesses.
The supervisors and supervisors were also punished for their malicious abuse of civilian husbands. As a big family, they can't deal with the emperor, they don't dare to deal with the Song family, and they don't dare to deal with these little bastards?
After that, the number of civilians who disappeared for no reason finally dropped, and it would have been even less if Yang Guang hadn't been in such a hurry with the progress of construction projects in various places.
The residence of the Song family. Luo Changfeng slowly opened his eyes and felt a warm water flowing slowly throughout his body. Unknowingly, his body seemed to be gradually filling up.
"You're awake!" Physician from the Song family came to him and took out a contract.
"Sign him, and from now on you will be a member of my Song family. According to the rules, you will be sent to study on the fleet for three months. In the end, you will decide the direction of your study and advancement: agriculture, craftsmanship, bachelor, martial artist, etc. . If you perform well and make contributions to our Song family, we can also send someone to bring your family to Lingnan." Changfeng pressed his fingerprints on it without hesitation.
Why is he working so hard? Isn’t it just to change your destiny against heaven! As an ordinary citizen, there is no way out after a lifetime of hard work. On the contrary, only in the Song family can you learn the real skills.
Not to mention anything else, all beginners can practice a Kung Fu skill known as "Working: From Beginner to Burial" which is said to make them masters.
Although the name is strange, it is said that anyone can practice it, and as long as you work hard, you will make progress. Although he is just an ordinary poor man, what is the difference between him and a salted fish if he doesn't work hard?
rush! ...A year later, the army set off. The elite of the Sui Dynasty totaled 1,133,800 people, and the logistics and civilians were nearly 2 million people. The people and horses were connected along the road, and they were ready to gather in Pyongyang City. It took forty days to set off.
Such a grand occasion has never happened before. After a whole year of preparation, Yang Guang was very satisfied with his ability.
As for the preparations for these, hundreds of thousands of civilians, craftsmen, young men and women reported to the general supervisors of various places during the process: they died of sudden death from exhaustion, and their bodies had been destroyed on the spot to prevent the plague.
He didn't care. When he ascended the throne, the Sui Dynasty had a population of more than 40 million. If it has grown more in recent years, it may already have more than 50 million, which is only a few hundred thousand.
No big deal! …
"I should praise the three emperors, surpassing the five emperors, and look down on the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, making them unreachable to all people!" Yang Guang gave an order, and all armies marched quickly. The Goryeo army was defeated in the battle of Liaoshui, and tens of thousands of people died in the battle. .
Taking advantage of the victory, all armies pursued and surrounded Liaodong City.
"Boom~" The huge rock hit the city wall directly.
"Hush, rest, rest~" Countless sharp arrows flew over the head. The Liaodong garrison was sitting slumped on the city wall with a spear in hand, his face full of decadence.
"Master Fu, all of our people are almost dead, and the weapons used to defend the city have been used up. We have lost!" Standing next to him was the world's greatest martial arts master, Master Yijian, Master Cai Lin.
He has an unusually long and narrow face, and all the features on it are flaws that no one would wish to have. They are extremely ugly.
No matter how hard they felt, no one dared to disrespect him. Fu Cailin put his hands behind his hands and shook his head. A few days ago, he wanted to assassinate the Sui Emperor, but he didn't expect that there were many masters guarding him. One of them had unpredictable movements and strange internal strength. His skill was not even inferior to him, so he had to retreat.
"General, we have received a letter from above. Reinforcements will arrive in three days. Can't we continue to hold on?" The guard shook his head: "Not to mention three days, even three hours, I don't think we can hold on. Any more stubborn resistance will only increase casualties."
"Then surrender, there will be no need for unnecessary casualties. The Central Plains is known as a land of etiquette, so I think they will not mistreat you very much." Fu Cailin said calmly.
He is a Grand Master who can come and go freely, so naturally he will not be captured. The guard general finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered his men: "Hurry, hurry, deliver the letter of surrender!" If he were any slower, he would not be considered a surrender when the Sui army entered the city, and it would be too late!
"Yes!" The effect was surprisingly good. As soon as the letter of surrender was sent, the Sui Dynasty not only immediately withdrew its troops, but even sent officials to send food and clothing to appease them.
Soon, officials from the Sui Dynasty came over and asked them to rehearse a ceremony to welcome the surrender and welcome the emperor of the Sui Dynasty.
Fu Cailin and the guard looked at each other. Three days later, reinforcements arrived, and the defense weapons were rearranged. Facing Fu Cai's threatening eyes, the defender closed the city gates and expressed his dissatisfaction with the Sui Dynasty again.
Last time doesn’t count, come again! In this land of Goryeo, the only convenient waterway is the Lutuqi District. Yang Guang's car was a mobile mountain city with a circumference of a thousand steps. When he received the news and was about to leave, Gaoli rebelled again.
Can this be tolerated? Not convinced? Then fight! A few days later, the guard was disgraced and Fu Cailin was a little exhausted. Even the Grand Master was helpless in the face of tens of thousands of troops.
Especially the important area of the military camp, where the Song family's medical office was hung, had always given him a strong sense of crisis, making him afraid to assassinate the Sui general.
"I surrendered, I surrendered!" What surprised the Liaodong garrison was that these words seemed to have magical power. The Sui Dynasty suddenly stopped again, and sent food, medicine, and clothing to comfort them as before.
Good guy! Then continue? Now that the loopholes were found, Liaodong City jumped repeatedly between surrender and dissatisfaction.
Royal driver.
"Bang! A bunch of losers, tens of thousands of troops, can't even take down a small city. They're all trash!" Yang Guang was furious.
To be honest, he really didn't understand that even if there were tens of thousands of pigs, just one pig would flood Liaodong City, right?
"General Pei, do those people want to secretly neglect and deceive me because of their prominent family background? When they were in the capital, they were unwilling to let me come. Are they afraid that I would see their private affairs and corruption? Now they are afraid of death and refuse to try their best. , do you really think I can't kill them?" Yang Guang was furious.
Pei Ju, who had done a good job in escorting the driver, hesitated to speak. If it weren't for your outrageous operations, maybe the King of Goryeo would be kneeling in Kyoto now!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. In ancient times, Zhuge Liang, the Marquis of Wu, captured Meng Huo seven times. Now I, the Sui Dynasty, have spared Liaodong many times. This is just to imitate the sages and wait until the King of Korea is convinced. Then, Your Majesty, you will be the eternal Holy Emperor!" Pei Ju advised.
Although he also felt that there was some gap between the current strategy and the overwhelming force he had imagined, but just as Yang Guang thought, with 300,000 versus 30,000, even a pig could win.
As long as he can win, he can achieve his goal. Yang Guang thought so too.
"Forget it, General Pei and I went out for a walk. I heard that the Song family's caravan accompanied the army this time and brought many novelties."
"Yes!"...
"It's so lively!" Song Yuzhi held the little yellow cat and ran around on the Song family's fleet, grabbing some snacks and putting them in his mouth without paying at all.
The little yellow cat in her arms stood there as money. Most people may not have heard of it, but it is the same as the flag on the Song family caravan, and the merchants on the ship are not blind.
The land route in Goryeo is inconvenient, but the waterways are developed. If the cities were not too far away from the water system, it would actually be better to directly transport troops by ship to attack.
These merchants came with the fleet, just in time to make some war fortune.
"The Song family corpse collection team has customized professional corpse collection services. As long as you buy insurance from us and carry the identity card we prepared for you with you, no matter where you die afterwards, we will be able to find your body and send it home! "
"Song Family Prisoners, Valuables Collection Team, no matter who you capture or find in Goryeo, we will buy it at market price. The Song Family's banknotes are easy to carry and will allow you to have more energy to grab more things. We also Providing valuable goods transshipment services for only 30% of the transshipment fee.”
"To encourage us to fight for the Sui Dynasty, the Song family gave us food and grass for free! Each person received three days' worth of special military rations that are easy to carry." In the land of Lingnan, there is not much else, but there is a lot of food.
All kinds of staple food are cooked three times a year, and we can't finish them all.
"Song family food, Song family weapons, Song family martial arts,..." Yang Guang ordered a special Lingnan grilled squid, not to mention it was quite delicious.
Standing on the boat and seeing the soldiers, generals, officials, maids and even the fishermen and people of Goryeo coming and going, he suddenly felt a little emotional.
"This is the great master. If he has no desires and only wants to do a small business, he will be almost invincible." Pei Ju nodded in agreement.
When he heard about Song Que's reputation as an undefeatable heavenly sword, he thought that he had accomplished great feats, so he prepared to drop by to teach him how to behave.
Then, this was the second time he stepped into the Song family's territory so far. After standing on the boat for a while, Yang Guang saw many wounded soldiers brought back from the front line, each of them dying.
According to his understanding, in order to develop Lingnan, the Song family simply spent a lot of money to cure these people and take them back because they lacked manpower.
He was also happy to see this happen. Anyway, if he doesn't get treatment, he will die, so this can give him some comfort in his conscience.
You must know that these are all his people. As for according to the laws of the Sui Dynasty, the Song family's privately recruited soldiers should be executed.
Haha, who dares to kill the three great masters? Yang Guang suddenly felt that maybe he was going in the wrong direction. With his own talents and talents, if he practiced martial arts, became a great master, and conquered the void with martial arts, wouldn't it be easy to achieve his goal: to become an emperor through the ages?
Immortals are immortal!
"General Pei, what do you think of my abilities? When will I become a Grandmaster?" Yang Guang asked confidently.
Pei Ju:? ? ?
