In the first year of Daye, the first year of Yang Guang's official ascension, under the banner of going to the countryside for investigation, Yang Guang was surrounded by more than 100,000 troops, and was riding on the Yulong, the first super aircraft carrier-class giant ship of the Sui Dynasty.
Leading the Xiangchi, nine floating-class giant ships and tens of thousands of fleets, he drove out of Luoyang City in a mighty manner and headed straight for Yang Guang's old nest Jiangdu.
When the boss came out, more than half of the ministers of the Sui court, most of the princesses and princes belonging to the royal family, as well as the palace maids, eunuchs, monks and Taoists used by Yang Guang, etc., had to travel with Yang Guang.
For these people alone, the total number is no less than tens of millions.
The total number of 12 guards in the capital escorted by the escort was as high as more than 100,000.
In order to drive Yang Guang's Yulong aircraft carrier, the Queen's Xiangchi, the nine Fujing ships, and the various ships carried by other princes and ministers, this time, nearly 100,000 were collected by the civilians who pulled the fibres.
!
Fortunately, the ships of the 12 Guards' sergeants were only driven by these sergeants themselves, otherwise, the number of civilians that would need to be consigned would be even greater!
Even so, the total number of people accompanying Yang Guang during this trip was nearly 300,000! This number of people is only a little less than the total number of people in Daxing City, the former capital of the Sui Dynasty!
You should know that the total population of the Sui Dynasty was at its highest, which was about 40 million!
In addition to the large number of people, a large part of the twelve guards who accompanied Yang Guang to protect Yang Guang were cavalry, and the total number of war horses was close to 100,000.
Among the 300,000 people, the largest number of soldiers and civilians in the Twelve Guards are all big-bellied men! Compared with ordinary people, just by their appetite, these people basically fight against three.
The master! And those horses are basically top-notch war horses, so they also need to feed!
As a result, the total number of nearly 400,000 people, as if locusts were passing through the border, were basically eaten by these people and poor!
In fact, the real prodigal were not the soldiers of the Twelve Guards and the fickle civilians, but Yang Guang and his concubines, palace maids, princes and ministers whom they accompanied.
Although these people, in terms of total number, are far from the number of soldiers and civilians, they are more frugal than eating, extravagant and wasteful!
In order to satisfy his luxurious life, Yang Guang ordered that within 500 miles of the way, all prefectures and counties would feed Yang Guang and his party! If you have entered well, you will be rewarded. If you have not entered well, you should speak carefully.
Now!
Are you dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty? Or do you have any opinions about me, the emperor?
Therefore, in order to satisfy Yang Guang, the boss, for his own official career and money journey, and to have an open excuse to plunder the people's fat and ointment, take the opportunity to fill his personal bags, wherever Yang Guang passed, five or six along the way
All the prefectures and counties of hundreds of miles were in a mess, and they were running wildly. I don’t know how many families had their families confiscated, and since then they went from rich peasants to poor peasants and even tenants to one step.
, the ranks of long-term workers!
As the culprit, Yang Guang not only did not feel any guilt at all, but was quite proud.
Look! How rich we are in the Sui Dynasty! How much the people of our Sui Dynasty love their great leaders! When they hear that I am going to travel, the delicacies of the mountains and seas are delivered to me in a car! Listen to those who come
The officials who were eating said that these were all the girls I, the people of the Sui Dynasty, voluntarily presented to me!
Oh my! It's so much! I'm so embarrassed! I can't finish it, even the palace maids and eunuchs under my command are tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and rivers every day. As a result, one by one, I'm idle and have nothing to do
Throw delicacies into the river and feed the fish to play!….
Alas! How can we pinch this way? This is not what I meant to be so! It’s all because our Sui Dynasty is too rich! It’s all because our Sui Dynasty’s people are too kind and cute!
The journey was full of complacent and narcissistic to Jiangdu. Wherever Yang Guang passed, there was a lot of sadness and no grass grew. A large number of people who were exploited by corrupt officials became refugees. They had to escape from famine and leave their hometowns.
The wandering world hopes to find a shelter without corrupt officials and harsh taxes.
However, the one who took the lead in causing trouble for Yang Guang was not these refugees who were destroyed by their families, but the barbarians outside the Great Wall.
Just as Yang Guang was about to arrive in Jiangdu, he was happily preparing to celebrate the fifteenth day of August in his nest. The documents in Yingzhou were passed on to Yang Guang's dragon boat, but the Khitans rose up and invaded.
At this time, the nomadic peoples outside the border were divided into many tribes, including Turks, Tiel, Tuyuhun, Shiwei, Khitan, etc., and the Khitan was just a relatively small branch.
This Khitan tribe, facing the Great Sui Yingzhou in the south, Shiwei in the north, to the west, one of the two largest branches of the Turkic tribe-**, and to the east is a country established by the most shameless nation in the world.
—Goguryeo.
In fact, Shiwei and Khitan are the same nation, but they are divided into two major tribes. The south part is called the Khitan, and the north part is called the Shiwei.
And that Shiwei itself is divided into five parts: Nanshiwei, Beishiwei, Boshiwei, Shenmodashiwei, and Dashiwei. In short, it is a large number of Shiweiwei.
Speaking of which, the Khitan tribe is shameless.
When Goguryeo, located east of the Khitans, rose up, he beat his neighbor, the Khitans, and snatched a large piece of land from the Khitans, and killed many Khitans.
Although the Goguryeo people have not had a good military strength, they are numerous and have thick skin. As for the Khitans, there are only tens of thousands of people in total. As a result, in this seemingly no heavyweight competition, the Khitans did not fight.
Too Goguryeo, I had to migrate westward.
But the ** in the west of Khitan is not easy to mess with!
You guys, you were beaten by Gao Li’s stick and ran towards us. Isn’t this obvious that you look down on us Dongtu and use our Dongtu elements as soft persimmons?
So, taking advantage of the gap between snatching territory with the Western Turks and snatching women, ** also pulled out his claws and beat the Khitans, and also snatched many Khitan cattle, sheep and women.
You cannot go to both sides of the east and west, but towards the north is the Shiwei passed down by one of your ancestors.
The Turks thought, we Khitans can't beat others outside, so we go home to bully our own people?
In this way, there is only the Sui Dynasty in the south!
The Great Sui Dynasty is so good! The country is rich, with a lot of money and food, and a beautiful woman. It is definitely the best choice for killing and robbing people.
Unfortunately, at this time, the Great Sui army was strong and the famous generals emerged, so it was really not something that a small Khitan could afford!
Since I can't afford to offend, I can only ask for peace!
I heard that the people of the Sui Dynasty, especially those who are high-ranking officials, who are sour and jealous when they read, are very proud of their face! They will be happy if they just flatter him or give him two high hats.
You have to be unable to find North! It seems that you can use this!
As expected by these Khitans, when they announced their surrender to the Great Sui Dynasty and flattered a cart, the then emperor Yang Jian was very happy when he heard this. Not only did he announce that he could not collect their taxes,
They also specially set up a piece of land for them to grind cattle and sheep.
Of course, this land was not originally from the Great Sui Dynasty, but the original ancestral land of the Khitans. Old man Yang Jian was playing karate!
But the Khitans did not fail to get benefits.
Later, once, ** was bored and thought about beating children on rainy days, and I was idle too! So I suddenly had a whim and wanted to send troops to beat the Khitans to play...
As a result, Emperor Wen Yang Jian at that time personally sent someone to pass a message to **, saying that the Khitans are now our younger brothers of the Sui Dynasty. You can't move your claws randomly. You have to look at the owner when you hit a dog, so what about it.
At this time, Yang Jian's words were still very useful. He was frightened by the great power of the Sui Dynasty. For more than ten years, ** never continued to make things difficult for the Khitan. For the same reason, Goguryeo's sticks did not bully Khitan again.
people.
Under the protection of the Great Sui Dynasty, after nearly twenty years of cultivation and rest, the Khitans finally recovered a lot of vitality. The population, which originally only had tens of thousands, has now increased several times, and now it has exceeded 200,000.
Moreover, as a nomadic people, the Khitans can be said to be the soldiers of the whole nation. Basically, as long as they are adult men, riding on horseback and picking up bows, they are a standard bandit! If necessary, even half-aged children
Even women can temporarily play the role of the robber.
The string control man has nearly 100,000. I heard that the old man Yang Jian, who was suspected to be a wise and magical warrior in the Sui Dynasty, had died. The newly ascended emperor Yang Guang seemed to have not sat firmly on his butt. The Khitan finally showed his sharp claws.
He led his troops southward, intending to slaughter the fat sheep of the Great Sui Dynasty!
