Emperor Sui Yang

Preparing for war is a very complicated matter, involving all aspects, especially the mobilization of the whole country.

Since ancient times, Huaxia has sent elite soldiers out of the north, which are actually those provinces, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong.

Among them, Shandong is not very good, not because of its people. This has something to do with their geographical situation and culture. Shandong can be said to be flat, located in the North China Plain, with the benefits of fish and salt, and rich food. It is also the birthplace of Confucianism. Seldom becomes a battleground for military strategists, there is no way to fight, there is no danger of mountains and rivers, and you can wear it with one hit.

In this place in Shandong, once there is a military disaster, the whole place will be full of wars. Anyway, I can go anywhere, and I can go anywhere.

This is why during the Warring States Period, Yan Guo Leyi was able to eat Qi State in one go, and Qi State Tian Dan was able to eat it back in one go, because there was no dangerous place to defend.

Because of this, there have always been relatively few military turmoil in Shandong. First of all, it is rich, and secondly, the imperial government’s policies are deliberately evading. The construction of Luoyang and the Grand Canal have the least number of civilians recruited from Shandong, because they are afraid that they will make trouble. Shandong people are very fierce in character.

The capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty is Yecheng (Hebei), and it is accompanied by Jinyang. Why is it here?Because I dare not put it in Shandong, where the capital is, there is no doubt that it is the political, economic, cultural and military center. If the capital is in Shandong, it will be over, and you will be pierced at once.

This time to conquer Goguryeo, only 11 troops and 30 civilian husbands were recruited from Shandong. Look, isn't it unfair?

The pressure was put on Shanxi, Hebei and Henan in an instant. The elites from Guanzhong would definitely go there, but they would not recruit many people. As the basic base of the Sui Dynasty, this is the most difficult place to move.

200 million civilian husbands, the whole south, only 40, and the remaining 160 million, mainly relying on Shanxi, Hebei and Henan. This is really suffering repeatedly.

Due to the excessive pressure of recruitment, there have been situations in Shanxi that they would rather break their own legs to avoid military service. There are countermeasures below, and there are countermeasures above.

For households with disabilities who cannot apply, only women will be selected. You or your wife will go. You can choose.

The people in Hedong are the happiest right now because a large number of them have been recruited by the refinery. It is better to work than to die.

It is still in the early stage of recruitment, and the notice is issued in advance to let you be mentally prepared. If you run away, the land will lock you up. If you leave your own field, you can only die.

In this case, you have to give the people confidence. If you can’t give them food and drink, you must have spiritual encouragement, right?

So Yang Ming set up appeasement envoys in the Shanxi area, which were served by county officials from all over the country. The main purpose was to hold refined weapons and armor, let the common people take a look, and tell them to rest assured that we can win. On the battlefield, with this precious armor, you If you want to die, you can't die.

In addition, we have to publicize the threat of Goguryeo, which means that this country is going to attack us, and we are going to act first, so as not to be too late in the future, and the people will suffer. If we win in the future, we will share all the things we robbed from there point.

In fact, it is just a big pie, and I will definitely not admit it in the future.

The one who painted the cake was the Jun Cheng, who had nothing to do with the court. When he was transferred away, the new Jun Cheng would not accept this account when he took office. This is called the new official not asking the old official.

The common people will think that only their county magistrates are drawing cakes for them. They don't know about the affairs of other counties, and the news is blocked.

Yang Ming used this method, and he couldn't bear it in his conscience, but right now there was really no other way. He didn't have food or money. The best way was to destroy Goguryeo in the future, so that the people of the Sui Dynasty could live a stable life.

At that time, Yang Ming will intervene in the reform of farmland so that the common people in the world can have enough food.

Yang Yinjiang, Pei Shuying, and Chen Shuyi gave birth to sons one after another. Yang Yinjiang is also really amazing, the third is a son, Pei Shuying and Chen Shuyi are daughters.

This son is Yang Ming's fifth son, and he named him Yang Can.

Five sons, Yang Rui, Yang Jin, Yang Qi, Yang Cong and Yang Can.

Pei Shuying's daughter, named Yang Yizhen, Jingzhou corresponds to the 28 stars in the sky, Wing and Zhen, and Yang Ming worked in Jingzhou, so she took this name.

Chen Shuyi's daughter, named Yang Xingchi, comes from Xiongzhou Wulie in the preface of Tengwang Pavilion.

Cough cough, in fact, the names of the two girls were found from the Preface of the Tengwang Pavilion. Yang Ming planned to get all the names of his daughters from here.

Here in Hedong was considered stable, and whether Yang Ming was there or not was meaningless, so at the end of April, he set off to return to the capital and handed over all the affairs of the refinery to Dugu Huai'en, Yuanshou, and Yun Dingxing.

It was a coincidence that Yuwen Jingli, who had been appointed as a consolation envoy, was currently in the capital, and he was called back by his wife.

His wife is Yang Ming's third aunt, Princess Guangping Yang Wenjin. Yang Wenjin called her husband back from Luoyang on the grounds of illness, and did not intend to let her husband leave again.

There are common people who escape military service, and so do nobles.

Yang Wenjin didn't want her husband to take this risk, so she lied about a serious illness, first tricked her husband back, and then begged her elder sister Yang Lihua to intercede for her, so that His Majesty was relieved of Yuwen Jingli's post of conciliator.

Yang Guang was furious when he found out, and immediately wanted to demote his sister to a commoner. Fortunately, Yang Lihua resisted and did not make an order.

After returning to the East Palace, Yang Ming first visited his three newborn children.

Fathers also have a wonderful affinity for their children. Yang Ming, Pei Shuying's daughter Yang Yizhen, fell in love with her the first time she saw her.

I can't describe the feeling, but I just feel that this child is connected with me by blood and blood, and that my soul is connected.

Anyone can see that the prince only favors the eldest daughter.

Yang Ming was in Yichun Palace, dangling with his daughter in his arms, looked at Pei Shuying and said:
"Is the father canonized?"

Pei Shuying nodded and smiled, "Jing Nu (nickname Yang Yizhen) was named Princess Jinyang, and Xiu'er (nickname Yang Xingchi) was named Princess Danyang."

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Call some maids from Ye Ting Palace to take care of Yang Jing, don't you have enough breast milk?"

Pei Shuying smiled and shook her head: "Jingnu can eat, Xiu'er can eat even more. Shuyi's wet nurse has prepared four, and two on my side are enough."

Chen Shuyi's daughter was only five catties when she was born, but she has grown rapidly. It has only been a month and she has already weighed seven and a half catties.

Yang Ming had just returned from Chen Shuyi's place, and he wanted to hug his daughter, but Chen Shuyi refused, fearing that the hug would spoil her.

In the evening, Yang Ming went to Guanghua Hall, his bedroom. After seeing his son, he had someone call Yang Xuanting over.

Yang Xuanting counted on Yang Ming's return, he must have a catastrophe, although he had already prepared himself mentally, but when he heard the summon, his heart was still pounding.

On the battlefield, he was a fierce man, but in front of Yang Ming, he was timid.

After entering, Yang Xuangan kept his head down, waiting for the prince to speak.

"Don't stand stupidly, sit down," Yang Ming said calmly, sipping his wine.

Xuan Ting hurriedly said: "I don't dare to be humble."

Yang Ming smiled: "You dare to hit someone, but you dare not sit down? If I tell you to sit, you can sit down."

"Yes," Yang Xuanting sat down tremblingly, took the jug Xu Jing handed him, thanked him, and said: "I am sorry for my humble position, I made a big mistake on impulse, and caused trouble for Your Highness."

Yang Ming raised his glass to Xuan Ting from a distance, signaling him to drink, and after finishing his glass, he said:

"Change it in the future, don't beat people at every turn, you are also born with honor, why are you so rascal when things happen? Yuan Qing is still young and ignorant, and you are ignorant too?"

Yang Xuanting looked ashamed and said: "At that time, I was holding back my anger and got impulsive. After thinking about it afterwards, I really shouldn't. It's just that I'm stupid, I can't talk to others, and I can't get angry for a while, so I did it. In short, it's all my fault. It was definitely not ordered by the Crown Princess."

"No need to explain," Yang Ming said lightly, "How could Yinjiang order you to do such a stupid thing? In the future, you should use your brain more when doing things. If it doesn't work, you should ask Yinjiang first before making a decision. This is the East Palace. There are countless Keep your eyes on this, if your own people beat your own people, isn't it shameful to spread the word?"

"Shameful, shameful," Yang Xuanting said, "It's a shame to be humble, but I've already gone to apologize to Wei Zheng."

"Who told you to go?" Yang Ming asked.

Yang Xuanting faltered and said: "Uncle asked me to go."

Let me just say, you will take the initiative to apologize to Wei Zheng?Yang Ming asked again: "What did Wei Zheng say at that time?"

Yang Xuan said embarrassingly: "I didn't see anyone, I put down the gift and left, it's because he refused to see me."

"Is this also called an apology? Is there such a thing as an apology?" Yang Ming asked back with a frown.

Yang Xuanting raised his head and said: "I begged for a long time outside the door, but he closed the door and didn't see him. In the end, I just climbed over the wall and went in, put down the gift and left. My sincerity is here, but he won't accept it."

Yang Ming snorted coldly, Wufu, vulgar!
Yang Yue asked you to apologize because he wanted to make up for it afterwards, but you are better off, so how about going through the process?
Yang Su is a hero, why are all his sons like this?Yang Xuangan is a big stick, you are the third child, are you a fool?
"If you go again tomorrow night, just say that I let you go. If he still doesn't let you in, you will smash the door of his house for him."

Yang Xuanting immediately puffed up his chest and said, "This can work, I will definitely go tomorrow night."

"Talk to people well, don't lose your temper every now and then." After Yang Ming finished his polite words, he had to say some warning words:
"You are Yinjiang's uncle and my general, but I can't protect you too much, otherwise people will think that I am unfair. As the crown prince, if I am unfair, wouldn't I be a laughing stock?"

Yang Xuanting understood the meaning of the warning, and hurriedly said: "I will definitely apologize to him this time, if he doesn't accept it, I won't leave, and I will never do it again in the future."

Yang Ming nodded: "Go down, go and call Pei Shuang, Xue Shou, and Xue Wanshu!"

"Yes," Yang Xuanting was delighted in his heart, hey, he reprimanded me, it's time to reprimand those three little bastards, this is to make a bowl of water flat, but the crown prince is still facing me.

I thought it would be difficult to pass today, but I never thought it would be so easy. Of course, he never dared not take the prince's warning seriously.

When Xuan Ting was young, he joined the army with his father Yang Su. He learned nothing but obeying orders.
