Since Yang Guang ascended the throne for more than a month, Yang Su has discovered the differences between Yang Guang and Yang Jian, or some characteristics that impressed him deeply.
Generally speaking, Yang Jian acts cautiously under normal circumstances and is frugal by nature. He saves money when he can, while Yang Guang is just the opposite. He is bold, very courageous, and generous. He likes to be generous in doing things. These days, he eliminates dissidents and
This can be seen in the process of awarding meritorious officials.
Yang Su remembered that when he led his troops to defeat the 100,000 cavalrymen invaded by the Eastern Turks in the south, Yang Jian only rewarded him with 300 pieces of silver and 300 bolts of silk and satin. But now he was leading the army to quell the Bingzhou rebellion, and before he left, Yang Guang
He has been rewarded five times, with no less than ten thousand taels of gold and silver, and no less than ten thousand pieces of silk and satin.
Such lavish spending, to put it nicely, means being generous and courageous in doing things, but in fact it is no different from a prodigal. This means that the late emperor Yang Jian was frugal by nature and accumulated a rich family fortune, otherwise Yang Guang would not have been able to spend so much money on the national treasury.
A lot of money.
Another example is what Yang Guang said just now. To deal with a small rebellion in Bingzhou, Yang Guang didn't know whether it was because he was anxious to put down the rebellion in Bingzhou so that he could be busy with other things, or because of his habits and personality, he actually wanted to mobilize the entire country's troops.
Doesn't he know how much property and food is needed to mobilize the whole country's troops, and how many people are recruited to transport food and grass? One battle is enough to exhaust the rich treasury accumulated by Yang Jian. According to past experience, the recruited people will at least die due to various reasons.
Thirty percent, and civilian husbands are the backbone of every family. If an adult male in the family dies, there will be no one to cultivate the farmland, and women, children and children will become homeless and beggars.
Although Yang Su also had no compassion for the people, he didn't want the Sui Dynasty to decline because of this. He sighed in his heart and said to himself: "Yang Guang is so good at what he does. He is so happy about his success."
These thoughts flashed through his mind, Yang Su sighed secretly, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I believe that the strength of the army lies in the quality rather than the number. Bingzhou rebelled, Yang Liang is dead, although Gao Ying supported Yang Liang
His son is the King of Han, but the civil and military officials in Bingzhou know that he is just Gao Ying's puppet. Their loyalty to Gao Ying is limited. This shows that he is unpopular. If he is unpopular, he will also lose the morale of the army. There is no need to mobilize the entire country's troops. I am sure that
With the 100,000 troops at my disposal, the rebellion in Bingzhou can be wiped out within a month at most."
Yang Guang knew that Yang Su never underestimated the enemy when using troops. Since he could say this, there was no problem. He felt at ease and gave up the idea of mobilizing the entire country's army.
At this time, Yang Guang remembered something again and hurriedly smiled and said: "I just received the news from Wang Junlin that Gao Ying tried to collude with the Khitan Japanese company to deal with my army. After Wang Junlin got the news, he led a thousand cavalry on the third day.
Within days, they attacked three military villages in Bingzhou and five tribes of the Rilian tribe, successfully provoking a conflict between Bingzhou and the Khitan Rilian tribe. Now in the upper valley, Bingzhou and the Rilian tribe are fighting, which is a great constraint.
The rebels who live in Bingzhou, Wang Junlin has lived up to my expectations this time, first he killed Yang Liang, and now he has solved the problem of the Japanese company, I must give him a good reward."
While saying these words, Yang Guang kept staring at Yang Su, obviously wanting to see how Yang Su would react.
Yang Su said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is wise. Rewarding those who have meritorious service is the basis of our governance in the Sui Dynasty. Only in this way can your Majesty make use of the world's talents."
"Yang Aiqing's words are reasonable. I should reward Wang Junlin generously." Yang Guang was a little disappointed. He originally wanted to see anger or depression on Yang Su's face so that he could continue with the next tests, but he didn't expect Yang Su's The city is so deep.
"If there is nothing else, I will not disturb your majesty's rest." Yang Su bowed to Yang Guang.
Yang Guang nodded and said: "Ai Qing will go on an expedition tomorrow, and I will wait for the good news from Ai Qing."
…
…
On the day when Yang Su led the army to go on the expedition, Wang Junlin completely handed over the remaining hundreds of cavalry to Luo Yi's control and asked them to hide in this hidden valley on standby as a surprise force, ready to be used at critical moments.
After Wang Junlin, Nie Xiaoyu, Shen Guang, Six Swordsmen, Chunqiu Laonu, Xiao Feng'er, and Zheng Shengqiu redressed, discussed their contact information and goals, they left the valley in batches and headed for Taiyuan City again.
Wang Junlin knew very well that even though history had changed because of his appearance, and Bingzhou was controlled by Yang Liang instead of Gao Ying, Wang Junlin did not think that Gao Ying could change history and change the fate of Bingzhou. Because he saw that It is very clear that although Gao Ying knows how to appease the people and govern a party far better than Yang Liang, he has a fatal weakness, that is, he came to Bingzhou for too short a time, and his control over the army of Bingzhou is only superficial. This time This can be seen in the conflict with the Japanese company.
In addition, the various aristocratic families and gentry in Bingzhou, headed by the Taiyuan Wang family, the leader of the aristocratic family, and the landlords did not agree with Gao Ying, because although Gao Ying had a high reputation, he was not from a good background. If given a certain amount of time, Gao Ying might show some The means gradually brought Bingzhou under control, but Yang Guang obviously would not give him this time at the moment.
Therefore, Wang Junlin's current focus is no longer on how to deal with Gao Yingshang, but on how to obtain the maximum benefit from the counter-insurgency in Bingzhou. In addition, he knows very well that since Yang Su is still in charge of the counter-insurgency army, then Yang Su will definitely try his best to kill him at any cost.
Compared with Gao Ying, who had no control over the Bingzhou army and was originally a civil servant, Wang Junlin never doubted Yang Su's control over an army of 100,000 people. Moreover, when it came to marching and fighting, Wang Junlin thought it was impossible to overestimate Yang Su. Pass.
Therefore, he could lead less than a thousand cavalry and leave Gao Ying helpless, but he had no confidence that the same method would work for Yang Su.
Therefore, Wang Junlin planned to further change from light to dark, completely hiding in the dark, and not to be discovered by Yang Su. As the saying goes, "the big hidden in the city, the small hidden in the wild", he did not think that hiding in a hidden valley It would be safer than hiding in a densely populated city. The most important thing is that only in cities like Taiyuan can he have the opportunity to fight back against Yang Su, and it is not impossible to even find an opportunity to kill him.
…
…
When Wang Junlin and his party arrived at the pier, there were already dozens of men, women, and children waiting to board the ship. Wang Junlin was dressed as a gangster, and Nie Xiaoyu was dressed as his maid. Neither of them had the Six Swordsman with them. , Shen Guang and his party did not follow. Instead, the old slaves of Spring and Autumn, Xiao Feng'er and Zheng Shengqiu followed them. Of course, their appearance also underwent some changes.
