A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 605: Gathering strength to establish the emperor and ending

Although the Sui Dynasty was at its peak, there were still bandits everywhere. Some bandits often blocked roads and robbed, but some bandits honestly hid in the mountains and forests.

Those who often block roads and rob are basically real bandits, while those who hide in the mountains and forests and do not come out often are not necessarily bandits.

Some of these people are indeed ordinary people who are trying to survive by reclaiming land in the mountains to escape from hard labor, but some are dogs raised by aristocratic families and nobles from all over the country.

On the surface, the rich and powerful families have one or two hundred guards, but secretly they also hide more force.

After all, they had just come out of a period of more than a hundred years of war. For the sake of the continuation of the family, these people would not put down their swords.

So these aristocratic families and wealthy families began to secretly build some cottages in some dangerous places in the local area. On the surface, they were bandits and robbers, but in fact they were the private soldiers of the local families.

These private soldiers usually hide in the mountains to train. Once some wealthy families want to do some dirty things, they will take action.

For example, if they compete with other clans, or if government officials go too far, these people will start to cause trouble.

Unless those government officials have deep backgrounds and strong abilities, they usually have to give face to local powerful families.

This time, Wang planned to train some soldiers in the mountains and forests near Huai'an.

The family is completely dependent on the Wang family for support, and the apparent livelihood is just a cover.

As a local snake in Huai'an, Wang knew the situation in Huai'an very clearly. He quickly selected several places in the mountains for the purpose, then selected some secluded houses and selected people.

In real history, Sima Yi successfully launched the Gaopingling Revolution by raising three thousand dead soldiers among the people. Wang was much richer than Sima Yi, so she could naturally afford to support these thousand dead men.

Wang Xuanze and the others planned to train these soldiers as low-level officers. In the past, as long as the training of low-level officers was completed, once the world was in chaos, the Wang family could raise an army of tens of thousands in a short time.

After only a short period of training, this army will have good strength. It may not be enough to go out and fight in the wild, but it is more than enough to defend the city.

Huai'an can be said to be the old base of the Wang family. Many of the people living here have ancestors related to the Wang family. On the surface, the Wang family seems to have only more than a hundred guards, and is not very powerful.

Of course, these dead soldiers cannot be used casually. Wang plans to train a thousand soldiers in the mountains this time. Of course, these soldiers are not just soldiers.

But in fact, the Wang family adopted the strategy of hiding troops from the people. Many people in Huai'an City were dead soldiers raised by the Wang family.

If it goes through several battles, this army will soon develop combat effectiveness and become an elite force.

There are thousands of them. On the surface, these people have their own livelihoods and look like ordinary people, but secretly they all have received professional military training.

Originally, with the strength of the Huai'an Wang family, there was no way to support so many dead soldiers. It was entirely dependent on the overseas Wang family's continuous blood transfusions to support so many people.

When the Wang family prepares to support the Dragon Court, they naturally have to prepare enough bargaining chips to wait until the True Dragon of Destiny appears to support it in ruling the world and gain a high position in the new court.

Breaking the earth and conferring a kingship is a way to die, but it is still possible to consecrate a hereditary and irreplaceable duke. At the same time, he has sufficient power and influence in the DPRK.

The Wang family supports its exploration and development, and can also gain a lot of luck from it. Even if the new dynasty falls in the future, the Wang family will not lose much. The prefect of Huai'an City has a good relationship with the Wang family, and the Wang family's activities here are almost unrestricted. With their cooperation, Wang began to continuously deliver various supplies to Huai'an.

In order to train those soldiers, Wang specially selected several Wang family members who practiced military skills to train these soldiers.

Ever since aristocratic and noble families became big, they began to monopolize knowledge. It was not easy for ordinary poor families to see this knowledge.

The many books left by Da Qian had long been divided up, and by the time the Sui Dynasty was established, there were basically no basics left. Although Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty established the Imperial Academy, it was not accessible to ordinary people. It is very difficult to learn to read.

Moreover, much of this knowledge has been treasured by nobles and wealthy families from all over the world, and outsiders cannot see it even if they want to see it.

For example, the art of military strategy is one of them. If you are not an important member of the family, you are not qualified to learn it. Each generation of the Wang family selects talents to learn the art of military strategism.

This time, a few people were specially sent to train the soldiers.

In fact, the Guanlong nobles basically have military training methods. After all, these families have tribal guards, but there are few who can have systematic military skills.

On the one hand, Wang was dormant in Huai'an, secretly training troops and accumulating supplies. On the other hand, he sent caravans to various places to collect intelligence. At the same time, he was also very concerned about the Luoyang court.

After Yang Guang's victory in Luoyang, the court gradually stabilized. After Yang Jian completed the unification of the currency, revised the imperial laws, compiled household registration, reformed the government, and established the three provinces and six ministries system, he began to slack off in the government affairs.

More importantly, he is getting older. Not long ago, Queen Dugu Jialuo passed away, which made Yang Jian sad.

As the queen who has always supported him, Dugu Jialuo also helped him stabilize the court despite his many shortcomings and jealousy. The death of Queen Dugu hit him hard.

Without the supervision of Queen Dugu, the old Yang Jian began to gradually become sluggish. After the death of Queen Dugu, Yang Jian began to favor other concubines.

In the past, because Empress Dugu was jealous, Yang Jian only had one person in his harem. Not to mention that Yang Jian was the emperor, even powerful families were filled with concubines.

As an emperor, how could Yang Jian continue to live the life of a lonely old man? Yang Jian soon became concerned about several beauties and he brought them to the palace.

With no one to supervise him, coupled with his old age and lethargy, Yang Jian quickly fell into the gentle country and could no longer manage the government affairs very well.

In the following time, although Yang Jian slacked off, as the founding emperor, he was enough to suppress the court, and there were no problems in the operation of the Sui court.

But because of the long-term suppression, after the suppression is gone, it is natural to enjoy revenge. Yang Jian was already old and had many beauties, so he acted wantonly and without restraint.

My originally strong body began to collapse within two years. The horse-riding emperor, who was originally able to ride a horse and shoot a bow, began to become too old.

Even the energy is not what it used to be, and the rights will not disappear, but will only be transferred. Yang Jian let go of his rights, and these rights naturally began to transfer to the prince.

Yang Guang gradually began to control the court through various methods.
