"Gaoju [gou] Li originally belonged to the fiefdom of Jizi in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was a county in China during the Han and Jin Dynasties. Isn't it the king's land in the whole world? How can it be forgiven that a small land dares to establish a country? Since I have already come to the throne, I am a king.
How can the world turn a country of civilization and etiquette into a desolate and barbaric land? Expedition to the north!" 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 Donglai to build 300 ships in Haikou. The officials supervised the shipbuilding, and the craftsmen and servants stood in the water and worked overtime day and night without any rest.
There are Song family caravans stationed near various seaports. What is needed to build big ships is some strong and durable wood, which they need to provide.
There are many of these centuries-old wood, not to mention Lingnan, but also overseas. What is surprising is that the craftsmen and servants did not need to be urged by their superiors. They worked hard one by one, and many of them even had maggots ulcerating from the waist down.
Not even taking a break.
Luo Changfeng was one of them. He had been in the water for three days and three nights. His face was pale and he was covered in cold sweat.
Just after placing a wooden board, Luo Changfeng felt dizzy, 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 them 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 traditional clothes.
After stepping forward to check carefully, the doctor nodded: "It's natural dizziness, and his body is damaged. Under normal circumstances, he can't live for three days." Hearing this, Yuan Douya was a little nervous: "Then the Song family will still accept it?" The doctor grinned.
He opened his mouth, showed his white teeth, and smiled: "Stop it!" The manager then felt relieved, turned around and said loudly to the peasants who were still working in the water, but looked at them 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. Someone was so excited that he fainted. The manager waved his hand and quickly dragged the man up.
After a while, the doctor of the Song family applied some medicine to the two people, cleaned them up casually, and took them away. The peasants worked more energetically.
The general manager inspected 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
Another strange thing.
When the craftsman was about to die, he was sent to the Song family and they kept it. Of course, the officials in charge of supervising the work would also get a kickback, ranging from a few dozen cents to a few dozen taels, depending on the quality of the craftsman or the craftsman.
Although they could get the money easily at first, they were still wondering what the Song family wanted these people to do. After asking, they found out that the Lingnan and overseas lands, with high mountains and deep forests, and miasma poisonous insects, needed a lot of manpower to open up the land.
But when the previous emperor was here, 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 just fall down.
Wouldn't these living people be 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, take him away after treatment, and then the officials will report a 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, the construction of various palaces, the Eastern Capital of Luoyang and other projects, people in various places reported that 56 out of 10 people died suddenly.
Because the money came so quickly and easily, nine out of ten people were missing in the beginning.
Folks are not fools. In the past, the Song family treated them well, but they didn't go because their family was also good. They were generally unwilling to leave their hometown.
Now as long as you work hard, you can get a good employer, so why hesitate? In the end, prominent families from all over the country discovered something was wrong.
Why was it that after the hard work, no one took care of their cultivated land, 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 a wealthy family like them will farm the land, I'm 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 evil intentions 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 that 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, I quickly let them rest. Seeing that the peasants were not eating well, I reluctantly gave them food despite the bleeding. When they were sick, I quickly asked them about their well-being and treated them.
They also punished the supervisors who maliciously abused the common people. As a wealthy family, they couldn't deal with the emperor, so they didn't dare to deal with the Song family, and they didn't dare to deal with these little bastards?
After that, the number of civilians who disappeared for no reason finally dropped. If the progress of construction projects in various places in Yang Guang hadn't been rushed, it would have been even less.
The Song family was stationed. Luo Changfeng slowly opened his eyes and felt a warm current flowing slowly through his body. Unknowingly, his body seemed to be gradually filling up.
"You're awake!" The Song family doctor came to the front 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: agriculture, craftsman, bachelor, martial artist, etc.
"If you perform well and contribute to the Song family, we can 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 his destiny against the will of heaven! There is no way out if you are an ordinary citizen and work hard all your life. On the contrary, you can learn the real skills in the Song family.
Not to mention anything else, all beginners can practice a Kung Fu that is said to make them masters, "Work: From Beginner to Burial".
Although the name is very strange, it is said that anyone can practice and will make progress as long as he works hard. Although he is just an ordinary poor person, what is the difference between a person and a salted fish if he doesn't work hard?
Charge!... One 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 and horses were connected along the road, preparing to gather in Pyongyang City.
Collected and set off after forty days.
Such a grand opening 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 were reported to the general supervisors in various places during the process: they died suddenly of exhaustion, and their bodies were destroyed on the spot to prevent the plague.
He didn't care at all. When he came to 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.
Not a big problem!…
"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 the armies from all directions 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 guard held a spear and sat slumped on the city wall, his face full of decadence.
"Master Fu, our men 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, Yijian Master Fu 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, and they are extremely ugly.
Even though he couldn't bear it in his heart, no one dared to disrespect him. Fu Cailin put his hands behind his hands and shook his head indifferently. A few days ago, he wanted to assassinate the Sui Emperor, but he didn't expect that there were many experts guarding him. One of them
His movements were unpredictable, his internal strength was strange, and his skills were not even inferior to his, so he had no choice but 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 guess they will not mistreat you very much." Fu Cailin said calmly.
He is a great master and can come and go freely, so naturally he will not be captured. The guard finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered his men: "Quick, quick, deliver the letter of surrender!" If he had been slower, he would not be counted when the Sui army entered the city.
Sir, it's 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 defender looked at each other. Three days later, reinforcements arrived and the defense weapons were rearranged. Facing Fu Cai's threatening look, the defender closed the city gate and expressed his dissatisfaction with the Sui Dynasty again.
The last time didn’t count, let’s come again! In this land of Koryo, the only convenient waterway in Lutuqi District is. And Yang Guang’s car is a mobile mountain city with a circumference of a thousand steps. When he received the news and was about to leave, Koryo turned against him again.
.
Can you bear this? If you don't accept it? Then fight! After a few days, the guard general was disgraced, Fu Cailin was also a little exhausted, and even the great master was helpless in the face of tens of thousands of troops.
Especially in the important area of the military camp, where the Song family's medical office was hung, he always had a strong sense of crisis, which made him dare not 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 appease him as before.
Good guy! Let’s continue? Now that we have found the loophole, Liaodong City repeatedly jumps 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 just a bunch of 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 him, hesitated to speak. If it weren't for your outrageous actions, the King of Goryeo might have been kneeling in Kyoto by 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 to convince the King of Korea. 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 his imagination, but just as Yang Guang thought, even a pig could win with 300,000 versus 30,000.
As long as he can win, he can achieve his goal. Yang Guang thought the same.
"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."
“As you command!”…
"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 standing there in her arms is 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 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 in Goryeo or find anything, we will buy it at market price. The Song Family's banknotes are easy to carry and will give you 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. We can’t finish them at all.
"Song family delicacies, 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, 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 agreed and nodded.
Back then, when he heard about Song Que's reputation as an unbeatable heavenly sword, he thought that he had accomplished great feats, so he planned to drop by to teach him how to behave.
Then, this was the second time he stepped into the territory of the Song family 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 matter come to fruition. Anyway, he would die if he didn't get treatment, so this would 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 privately recruited soldiers and should be executed.
Haha, who dares to kill the three grand masters? Yang Guang suddenly felt that maybe he was going in the wrong direction. With his own talents, if he practiced martial arts, became a grand master, and broke through the void, wouldn't it be easy to achieve his goal: achievement?
One emperor through the ages?
Immortals are immortal!
"General Pei, what do you think of my abilities and when will I become a Grandmaster?" Yang Guang asked confidently.
