Xiao Jue was also a man with both civil and military skills, but he had never led an army to fight, so he did not know how to march and fight, and he did not know how to fight on the battlefield. But after all, he was a minister of the Ministry of War. He had no idea about the composition of the Sui army and the various arms

However, he knew its role and value very well. At the same time, he also knew his shortcomings. If he and Zhang Jin explored

If he discusses military deployment and marches to fight, he will definitely be defeated. So he elaborates his views from the aspects of court policy, people's livelihood, and people's hearts, which he is better at, and expresses that there is no necessity for the southern navy to exist on a large scale. At the same time, he also

Indirectly refuted the absurd statement that Zhang Jin spent countless hours to build the North and South Navy.

After completing this step, Xiao Jue bowed his hand to Yang Guang: "Sage, I am not against the creation of a northern navy, but it took four or five years for a navy to travel freely in the rivers and lakes of the south; if the Sui Dynasty had built a vertical and horizontal navy,

The maritime navy is faced with huge waves and dangers, so the time it takes will be doubled or tripled. However, since the formation of the Southern Navy, there have been

For more than twenty years, this army first annihilated the powerful Nanchen Navy, and then went out with the army to assist the land army in annihilating Gao Zhizhi, Wang Wenjin and other rebels in the south of the Yangtze River. In the past few years, it even sailed south to support General Liu Fang from the sea.

, so that General Liu could successfully capture Linyi without any worries. Although he has not had any impressive achievements recently, he has been training continuously and doubled his combat power."

At this point, Xiao Jue's words suddenly became sharp and powerful, and he said in a general way: "Sage, in addition to having rich combat experience and sailing experience, the Southern Navy has no combat mission. If the imperial court transfers 70% of the navy

Troops and warships were mobilized to the north, so that the immediate situation could be urgently

It can be said that it can solve the people's anxiety and save precious time. If the imperial court spent huge sums of money to rebuild a northern navy that can sail the sea, it will be more than ten or twenty years later. Such a maritime

How can the Navy solve the urgent needs and meet the immediate needs?"

The fight has reached this point, the decision has been made, the winner has been decided!

"Saint, the general has realized his mistake! Xiao Xiangguo's every word is like a revelation, making the general suddenly enlightened and convinced." The person who said this turned out to be Zhang Jin, who advocated equal emphasis on the northern and southern naval forces.

Of course, Zhang Jin was not truly convinced, but Xiao Jue's well-founded statement saved time and money and had endless benefits, leaving him with no way to argue. If he continued to insist on his own opinion at this time, it would be unreasonable.

Otherwise, there will be nothing gained except annoying people and humiliating oneself. What is lost today, or is about to be lost, can only be gained from somewhere else another day.

He took a deep look at Xiao Jue and remembered the consort: Xiao Jue was one of the prime ministers of the Assembly Hall, and also served as the internal history order vacated by Xiao Cong.

When Xiao Jue served as Minister of the Ministry of War, he gave people the illusion of being polite, gentle, and governing by doing nothing.

Xiao Cong seemed to be mediocre and incompetent. However, after the confrontation just now, Zhang Jin realized that Xiao Cong was also a great man of his generation. The reason why he acted mediocre before was actually because Xiao Cong was in a high position and had outstanding talents. If he shines again,

Ten thousand feet long, I was afraid that it would do a lot of harm to the Xiao family but not a single benefit, so I chose to hide the edge in a sheath.

With Xiao Cong's success and retirement, Xiao Jue is the representative of the interests of the southern nobles and relatives. Naturally, he has no need and cannot hide his clumsiness. In addition, as a half-Yang family member, he is not as rich as Xiao Cong, who was the emperor.

There are so many concerns, so the "aggressiveness" of the "representative of the southern gentry" at the moment makes people feel a little "unaccustomed" for a while.

Regarding Zhang Jin's "heartfelt submission", Changsun Chi, Changsun Sheng and other generals of the Guanlong clan not only had no dissatisfaction, but sincerely admired him: A truly smart politician always links his own interests with the interests of the country, and the people's support for him is equal to

Support yourself, and only politicians who understand mutual benefit can make the country prosperous and strong; if Zhang Jin does things that are detrimental to the interests of the country for the benefit of one family and one faction without knowing how to advance or retreat, he will be in the center where capable people are born.

Won't stay long.

However, compared to the very young Xiao Jue, Zhang Jin was far behind. After all, the plan he was formulating had no good intentions, and his "sincere submission" was also due to the sound of losing the debate. Even if the emperor did not

Although they harbor grudges, they can also tell who is more talented and who is more sincere about serving the country.

Yang Ji did not come out to confront each other this time. Although he was already a "lonely man" who was the enemy of everyone in the court, as long as the other party's ideas were not so ridiculous and the purpose was not so impure, he would not rashly cynicize. What's more,

Xiao Jue's point of view was the same as his. Seeing that Xiao Jue was sure of victory, there was no need to increase his presence.

Yang Guang glanced across Zhang Jin's face and asked the civil and military officials: "Do you have any objections to what Prime Minister Xiao said?"

"The Sui Dynasty navy has strong combat power, can advance and retreat freely, and is both offensive and defensive. This is the best strategy. The veteran has no objection." Gao Jiong pondered for a long time and commented on the "good prescription" proposed by Xiao Jue: "As for Xiao Xiangguo's strategy

, can be said to be the most appropriate at the moment

He also explained all the strategic and various benefits. Not to mention the distance, if the imperial court transferred the main force of the southern navy to Donglai County, Qingzhou, the army would immediately be able to move northward to the sea and steadily deploy its troops and weapons.

Equipment, grain and grass supplies arrived in Liaodong County."

"Su Gong, what do you think?" Yang Guang knew that everyone should perform their own duties and specialize in their profession. Regarding how to formulate military strategies, he must adopt the opinions of military generals, but he wanted to create a person who "speaks freely and accepts advice with an open mind."

With the image of an emperor and respect for the founder of the country, he turned his attention to Zuopu Shesu Wei.

Su Wei's focus was on politics, not the military. When discussing the navy, he remained silent. When he saw Yang Guang consulting him, he immediately handed over his hands and said: "Sage, I have no objections."

The major event has been decided, the outcome has been decided, and the direction of Chengqing Palace has changed dramatically at this moment.

Even the generals of the Guanlong clan who were originally on Zhang Jin's side changed their tune and changed their stance. Regarding Xiao Jue's ability to make them change their tune, they naturally praised him for his ability to flatter him, and almost unanimously praised him every step of the way.

Every sentence makes sense. Pei Ju, Li Ziquan and other representatives of other factions even praised him as a capable minister who was versatile in both civil and military affairs, loved his country and his people, and had a long-term vision.

In response to these highly praised generals, Xiao Jue secretly smiled bitterly. The south was the traditional sphere of influence of the southern gentry. Naturally, he did not want the Guanlong nobles to continue to be the domineering local emperors there. When he saw Zhang Jin say

After advocating "equal emphasis on the north and the south" and "another army", Yang Ji, Yang Xiu, Yang Da and other royal children remained silent, while the generals of various factions also stood by and watched; for the benefit of the southern gentry, he had no choice but to come out

say.

After these overt and covert fights, he became the focus of the Guanlong nobles, and his happy days came to an end. However, other people and other factions were able to compete for and enjoy the "fruits of labor" that he had offended. It was really treacherous.

It was also at this moment that Xiao Jue finally realized that it was not easy to be a lonely minister and it was not easy to do things that offended others. He even realized how Yang Ji had lived these years.

Yang Guang then said: "Since the ministers have no objections, let's implement it accordingly."

"The saint is wise." The civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Yang Guang followed his advice fluently.

Yang Ji felt relieved when he saw that Yang Guang had listened to Xiao Jue's kind words. Yang Guang was indeed different from the Yang Guang in history. Of course, Yang Guang might have been such a person originally, but later because there was no successor, he

Because the game collapsed, it gradually embarked on the road of destruction.

Based on the current situation, as long as Yang Guang does not become too outrageous, the Sui Dynasty will definitely be able to pass on the power with great power, instead of dying in three generations like in history.

"Sage, I don't know where the Northern Navy is stationed? And which general is commanding it?" At this time, Gao Jiao asked a very crucial question.

Suddenly, the noisy Chengqing Palace was silent, and some people were scanning Yang Ji, Yang Xiu, Yang Da and other royal family members with vigilant and worried eyes.

The emperors of the Sui Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty were very generous to their own people. Whether it was Yang Jian or Yang Guang, they were as generous as possible to their own people. From Yang Shuang, Yang Zheng, Yang Xiong, Yang Da to Yang Ji, Yang Zhiji, Yang Lun,

Yang Jing; Cong Yang Su, Han Qin

Hu, Xiao Cong, Yu Wenshu mentioned Li Changya, Yu Wen Jingli, Xiao Jian, Yu Wenshi and the wealthy families of these royal relatives and heroes. It can be seen that this is Yang Jian's intention to establish a new group of aristocratic classes to check and balance the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

noble.

And Yang Guang was even more generous. The high-ranking officials he promoted received numerous rewards, and each of them became a wealthy family. Moreover, each of them received power that others could not imagine. After he secured the throne, he worked step by step and passed the exam once and for all.

Once again, he realized his ambition to consolidate military and political power through another rectification, and then distributed it one by one to the children of the royal family and his closest confidants.

This is certainly a good thing for the stability of the imperial power, but for the ministers, it means that they are about to become a yes man, so no one wants to see an emperor who firmly controls the military and political power and cannot disobey anything.

More than ninety-nine percent of the ministers were unwilling to grant or accept the authority of the emperor, who could decide life and death in words. The main reason for this was the loss of real power, and secondly, the fear that the emperor was stupid and would bring disaster to the country and the people, but they were unable to oppose it.

Yang Guang glanced at the ministers, as if he understood their thoughts, and expressed his position in a deep voice: "The late emperor inherited the destiny and the people's hearts, ended the troubled times, unified the country, and created a prosperous era among the ruins! I am not talented enough, I can't

I dare to compare myself to the emperor before me, but I only hope to work with you to bring peace to the world, prosperity of the people and prosperity, and further glory. I hope that thousands of years from now, when future generations remember me and you, you will say, 'A year that lives up to our great cause.'"

Each emperor lives in a different era, and the national policies he implements must keep pace with the times. The emperor's historical mission also varies according to the situation. Who does not envy Emperor Gao Zuwen's unparalleled unification of China and the unparalleled victory of the Turkic Khanate in just three years?

Great achievements? But Yang Guang has a clear understanding of his historical mission. He knows that regardless of the current situation and blindly pursuing those hegemonies that cannot be "replicated", the end result will be the destruction of his foundation and a sad end, leaving behind a thousand years of infamy.

The late emperor freed the entire country from the ruins of hundreds of years of chaos and created an unprecedented prosperous age in the Sui Dynasty. All industries were prosperous and people lived and worked in peace and contentment. However, the Sui Dynasty fought a lot of wars in these years. Although it became richer and stronger as it fought, internal

The contradictions are getting worse day by day.

If faced with the disunity of the ruling class, people's hearts are divided against the current situation, and they still pursue greatness, expand territory, and subjugate the barbarians, the end result will inevitably be militarization and disaster for the country and the people. Once a certain war is partially defeated, all internal contradictions will occur.

It may break out.

In the next ten years, he and this empire should focus on domestic affairs and supplement on foreign wars. When the barbarians have surrendered and foreign aggression is rare, they should make every effort to resolve internal conflicts and accumulate enough manpower and material resources to deal with unknown situations.

The next great meeting will come when the time comes.

This was also the first time that Yang Guang announced his governing philosophy in public, and it was also the time when he revealed to the civil and military ministers that everything should focus on stability and focus on internal affairs, rather than aiming too high and blindly pursuing big goals.

I hope you will encourage me together!

"The saint is as humble as a valley and has a mind that embraces the world. He is a rare saint king throughout the ages. I am fortunate enough to be under the wings of the saint. I will do my best to assist the saint in achieving the hegemony of the emperor!" After Su Wei finished his impassioned speech, he stood up and bowed to the ground with an excited expression.

The great ceremony to pay homage.

The other important civil and military ministers all stood up, bowed their heads to pay homage, and shouted slogans in unison: "I have been blessed by nature to assist the Holy Lord, and I will definitely die with dedication!"

Listening to the impassioned voices of the generals and looking at the "excited" faces of the generals, Yang Ji showed a teasing look on his face. People like Gao Jun, Su Wei, Pei Ju, and Changsun Sheng had devoted countless efforts to the Sui Dynasty.

Generals like Xiao Jue who share the honor and disgrace of the royal family may be crying out of their hearts. But Yang Ji believes that more people actually want Yang Guang to emphasize the external and despise the internal.

, In this way, they can still live a happy and happy life as before, but if Yang Guang continues to focus on the internal and despise the external as he is now, this harmful person will probably cry with anger, be afraid of crying, hate crying, and then can’t wait to encourage him.

Yang Guang attached great importance to the outside world and neglected the internal affairs. In order to divert Yang Guang's attention, some people might even imitate "He Ruobi" and "Dugu Tuo" to attract foreign enemies to invade the border areas.

As for Yang Guang, if he truly abides by his words and works hard to deepen the internal affairs, that will be the misfortune of the family and the great fortune of the world.

Suddenly, Yang Ji noticed that Yang Guang's tiger eyes were looking straight at him, full of warning. When their eyes met, Yang Guang raised his eyebrows at him, as if to tell him not to be too special in public.

After all, I am also an emperor. Your brother, you have to give me some face, right?

After receiving Yang Guang's warning, Yang Ji took a look and found that everyone was bowing deeply and shouting powerful and touching slogans over and over again. Only he was indifferent, "Stand out from the crowd."

. He was inevitably criticized afterwards, so he quickly stood up and walked out of the queue, shouting touching slogans along with the crowd.

Later, Yang Guang turned his attention to Zhou Fashang, who came to protect his son, and finally appointed Zhou Fashang as the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Navy, responsible for the establishment of the Northern Navy and other matters. At the same time, he ordered Wu Benlang General Chen Leng and Wu Benlang General Zhang Zhenzhou to assist him.

Yang Ji was a little surprised by this appointment, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.

Zhou Fashang was a son of a general who was proficient in water warfare. He led his troops to defect to the Northern Zhou Dynasty as early as the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He was awarded the title of General Yitong of Kaifu, governor of Shunzhou, and Duke of Guiyi County. After defeating Chen Guo general Fan Meng, he was promoted to Sima
