Several people present immediately pricked up their ears.
The word emperor is far away from them. Both Du Fuwei and Dou Jiande are feudal princes. Although Dou Jiande was called emperor, it still lacked a lot of meaning.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is different. He is the True Dragon Emperor, a legendary figure.
The reputation of King Li Ding'an of Han is still strong in Hebei. At that time, Li Po led his troops out of Feihu Road and killed Luo Yi, Song Jingang, the general manager of Youzhou, and others. He also used light troops to reject Dou Jiande, so that he did not dare to come north.
At that time, Li Po had not yet become king, he was just the military commander of Daizhou and had just unified the three counties of Daizhou.
That battle left a deep impression on the people of Hebei, and the heroes of Hebei never dared to look west again. When Li Po became king, he even sent congratulatory gifts, which shows the importance of Li Po in the hearts of Hebei people.
When he pacified the princes of the world and became emperor, his weight in the minds of these people would be even different, almost like that of a god.
Among them, Wang Xiongdan had met Li Po, and his feeling was a little different from the others. His mentality was more like a minister of the Tang Dynasty, instead of being confused by the rumors, and there were so many more fantasy colors.
.....................
At this time, everyone said in their hearts, he is indeed a member of a high family, and it is really great to be able to talk to the emperor.
In fact, they all knew that Yu Wenshiji was a high-ranking official in the court who was demoted to Donglai, but they were not sure what kind of official position he held and what he was responsible for.
As for the reason why Yu Wenshi was demoted, they did not find out. Their sources of information were limited, and Wu King Du Fuwei would not send a special letter to say whether Yu Wenshi was demoted.
Seeing that it aroused the interest of several people, Yuwen Shiji had nothing to be proud of. In the eyes of the people in the grass, the emperor was like a god, but in the minds of nobles like them, he was just the master they needed to serve.
"Just now Ximen and Miao Biejia said that our Donglai is close to the sea. As the saying goes, you can eat from the mountains but from the sea. Donglai is mountainous and there is not enough arable land. There are not many people now and there is no way to grow much food.
If you want to achieve success, you must naturally think of something from the sea."
Su Dingfang didn't realize anything was wrong yet, but the other people were all Du Fuwei's old subordinates, so they all laughed knowingly.
Ximen then smiled and said: "After what the Sheriff brother said, I finally understood. We were short of food and clothing in the south, but in the end we found food from the sea.
Isn’t this the same job I’m doing now? Building ships and going to sea. Well, we are familiar with this matter, but there are too few manpower. Brother Sheriff, I have to find a way. Otherwise... I will go to Jiangdu to transfer some people.
?
Don't worry, brother Sheriff, the people over there are all our brothers. As long as you inform me, you will never dare to say no to me."
Miao Haichao nodded, "Sister-in-law is right, I still have some old troops in Hailing, and there are quite a few people who have been to the sea, so it won't be difficult for me to respond."
This matter was not a problem for Wang Xiongdan. Kan Ling was in charge of Jiangdu's navy, and he was his sworn brother, so he didn't need to see anyone outside.
These guys started talking to each other one by one, Yu Wenshiji's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, damn, do you want to move all the Jiangdu naval forces here? In that case, you still have to fight me to the death?
Even if you turn a blind eye, the imperial court will have to kill me, the governor of Donglai, first. According to what these people said, this is simply the rhythm of rebellion.
Seeing that several people were talking more and more outrageously, he quickly raised his glass and said: "You are all familiar with maritime affairs, and I will rely on you more for important matters in the future. I would like to propose a toast to you and express my gratitude in advance."
Several people drank happily, thinking that this aristocratic family member could talk, and they might be able to benefit from it if they get along with each other in the future.
Yu Wenshiji added: "I know what you all think, but things can't be done this way because of the lack of manpower. I'm going to come up with a solution. The Supreme Being has spoken out personally, so he won't treat us badly."
In fact, what you are thinking is a bit wrong. I have heard about all the strategies implemented by King Wu when he was in Jiangdu. I have heard about them in the capital, and the Supreme Leader also praised them very much. However, Donglai is different from Jiangdu.
You are all from Shandong and Hebei, so you should remember the old time when you came to protect the general, right?"
How could they not remember the name of the nurse?
One of the famous generals of the former Sui Dynasty, his ancestral home was Nanyang, and he later moved to Jiangdu. He was the most famous among the heroes of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. He had experienced hundreds of battles and had numerous military exploits.
Especially when he led the army to conquer Goguryeo, Lai Huer almost became a god in one battle and almost led his men to destroy Goguryeo.
In fact, it was precisely because of his failure that he lived for a few more years. Otherwise, Yang Guang personally led an army of millions, but he stopped at Liaodong City, while you led your troops to capture Pyongyang City.
Even the words "great achievements" are not enough to describe this kind of behavior. It was like slapping Yang Guang in the face, and it was very loud. It is estimated that only the word "death" can be worthy of him in the end.
However, Lai Hu'er was very loyal and was captured by the rebels during the Jiangdu Rebellion. He said at the time: "As an important minister in the court, I cannot clear up the chaos. With today's changes, I am ashamed of the kindness you have received from the king.
If you can't honor your family, you really deserve to die."
So he refused to listen to the rebels' advice to surrender and insisted on seeking death. In the end, he was killed along with his eldest son Laikai and his sixth son Laizheng.
Like many famous ministers and generals of the former Sui Dynasty, he was full of meritorious service and was also the person most familiar with maritime affairs in the former Sui Dynasty. However, he died worthlessly in Jiangdu and was buried with someone like Yang Guang. It is really a pity.
The reason why Lai Hu'er is well known to Shandong people is mainly because he led the navy to train in Donglai, which was not friendly to Shandong and Hebei people.
Lai Hu'er was training the navy in Donglai. All the support came from Shandong taxes, and hundreds of thousands of civilians were recruited. This was one of the sources of the chaos in Shandong.
When he heard the name of the guardian, Miao Haichao first darkened his face and said: "How could I forget that person? Back then, my four brothers and I were recruited here, and when we returned, only me was left...
..."
Ximen nodded with deep sympathy, took a sip and said, "That man did a lot of harm to us in Shandong. The boats he took when crossing the sea were paved with the bones and blood of our Shandong sons."
Yu Wenshi's mouth twitched again, and he regretted mentioning Hu'er's name. He was a hero praised by the world, but from another perspective, he might be a sinner in this place.
The person who came to protect children back then was a strong man from Lianghuai. It is estimated that his reputation in Lianghuai would not be very good...
Yu Wenshiji shook his head slightly and changed the subject, no longer making any excuses, "Lai Hu'er was practicing navy in Donglai in order to conquer Goguryeo, not to do business on the sea like Jiangdu.
King Wu has now built a Chang'an Maritime Academy in Chang'an. I heard that Jiangdu is also vigorously building ships and opening docks. The imperial court's intention is clear, and maritime affairs will be a top priority in the future.
Our Dongnae is located at a strategic location. If we attack Goguryeo again, the ships will gather in Dongnae. This is where our credit lies..."
