Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 228 More than two thousand people
An envoy with more than [-] troops. Is this an envoy?
Of course this is not the case. This is not only to take the opportunity to defeat Silla, but also if the Sui Dynasty wants to pass by land, it must pass through Goguryeo and Baekje.

Not long ago, General Yin Shou attacked Gao Baoning. Goguryeo actually wanted to protect Gao Baoning. Although Gao Baoning was handed over in the end, what he handed over was his body. Gao Baoning was able to go against the Sui Dynasty. There was a high probability that this group of people was behind this.

This time I took the opportunity to attack him.

Will they agree to the Sui army using the road to send envoys to Silla?
As long as their king is in his right mind, it would be impossible for him to agree. After all, not everyone can keep Poland calm.

They would not agree to the Sui Dynasty's plan. The Sui Dynasty could always use this as an excuse to attack Goguryeo, and even use force to threaten Goguryeo with great fanfare when necessary.

What if they agree?It was truly a double happiness, overjoyed beyond expectations, and joy falling from heaven.

Then let the envoy team cross the border to Silla. The envoy team of more than 50 people can be 5 people or [-] people, depending on the demand.

Yang Jian figured it out and laughed: "Amo, I didn't expect you to have such an idea. Okay, let's do it according to this statement. Pei Shiqing, you choose envoys to go to Youzhou, and send another envoy to Silla by water. Be polite before fighting."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You should take some rest after a long journey. I will directly order Donghai County and Youzhou to make preparations. When the time comes, I will order you to set off."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I am afraid."

He told Pei Shiqing and then said to Yang Guang: "The ship at Luoyang Shipyard has been built. You will see if the ship can go to the sea. If it can go, find a way to get it out and bring some guns and cannons." When Pei Shiqing's team went to sea, although it was said that they should pay homage first and then send troops, in order to avoid special circumstances, the envoys who took the water route also brought the soldiers directly with them."

"Father is wise."

Yang Guang didn't say much about the battle, and Yang Jian didn't arrange anything for him except the warships, because Yang Yong was in charge of the Northern Qi area, which was his territory, and it was not appropriate for Yang Guang to interfere.

Sure enough, Yang Jian immediately ordered people to call Yang Yong to return to Beijing. After the Turks were pacified, the several countries in the northeast were where Yang Jian would focus his attention now, and Yang Jian must maintain military training so that the Sui soldiers and generals could Let's not be lazy.

……

Yang Yong, who was in Luoyang at this time, quickly received the emperor's news that he would return to Daxing tomorrow and also told the reason.

Yang Yong handed the letter to Yuan Xiaoju, who looked happy after reading it.

"Your Highness, if it can be done this time, it will be a great achievement."

Yang Yong said noncommittally: "My father has caused so much trouble. Little Silla is disrespectful to the Sui Dynasty. Wouldn't it be better to just crush the country with an army and destroy it?"

"No, Your Highness. Your Majesty's move clearly shows that Xiangzhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong. What he cares about is not Silla, but Goguryeo."

Yang Yong thought for a while and finally understood: "Yes, this is obviously aimed at Goguryeo."

"His Royal Highness, now that the King of Jin has accomplished the task of pacifying the Turks, you have to make more military exploits."

"When I fought against the Turks before, I came back with a great victory."

Yuan Xiaoju naturally wanted to say that the two were not on the same level, but Yang Yong was definitely uncomfortable with this, so he said: "Your Highness, the more military achievements the better, and leading troops in battles allows Your Highness to recruit more generals. Just like the old minister planned for you to win over the noble families of Shandong, you have also seen the benefits." During Yang Guang's Northern Expedition, Yuan Xiaoju arranged for Yang Yong and a group of noble families from Shandong, and many wealthy businessmen from Huaiyang to meet At least once, these people also thought that they had someone to rely on. When the prince of the dynasty was willing to gather power, they were naturally very happy.

Yang Yong privately formed an organization with the most famous people to bind their interests to each other.

Having the title of Prince was enough. Even he didn't expect what these people gave him.

The nobles in the world were so rich, and rare treasures that had gone to sea were being sent in, which made Yang Yong feel a little elated for a moment.

Yuan Xiaoju said: "Your Highness, His Majesty attaches great importance to the development of firearms. This firearm has been in the hands of His Highness the King of Jin, and the ministers have also seen its power. If we don't have firearms in our hands, we will not be able to feel at ease. Your Highness."

When he thought of firearms, Yang Yong's eyes became fierce. This new weapon, which has only appeared in the past year or two, has shown great power on this battlefield. The emperor wants to develop it vigorously, and the holder of such a weapon is his own. When Yang Yong thought about that brother who had a bad relationship and had a conflict of interest, he couldn't even sleep well.

"Father-in-law, do you mean to take this opportunity to seize the firearms arsenal on my old man?"

Yuan Xiaoju had a worried look on his face: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to seize it. After all, His Highness Prince Jin cannot watch us take it away. If the bottom line is reached, I'm afraid the dispute between Your Highness and Prince Jin will become bigger and bigger."

"When we argue, we argue. Look at the appearance of the second son. It seems that he has agreed with me. I am the prince, can I still be afraid of him?"

Yuan Xiaoju didn't say it clearly that he didn't want Yang Yong and Yang Guang to confront each other head-on. Judging from his understanding of the two, once they really competed, the outcome would be unpredictable.

Yang Yong was far ahead of Yang Guang only in terms of his age and current status as prince.

Yang Guang has far more power, scheming, and personal abilities than Yang Yong. In just the past two years, Yang Guang has actually controlled more things than Yang Yong.

Moreover, Yang Guang was favored by the Empress, and Yang Yong was clearly out of favor with the Empress.

The best choice now is not to break the balance. Yang Yong should not be stupid or do wrong things. He is the eldest son, and there are overwhelming etiquette and laws from above. There is no precedent from ancient times to the present that the eldest son is in good health and has a normal mind. And he was deposed without doing anything wrong.

As long as Yang Yong continues, the status given to him by etiquette will always overwhelm Yang Guang. No matter how outstanding and smart Yang Guang is, unless he raises an army to rebel, the order of succession to the throne will always be below Yang Yong.

But if he raises an army to rebel, he will be rebelling against his father's Sui Dynasty. As long as Yang Yong can control this group of aristocratic nobles and ministers, he will basically be safe. The history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties will last for hundreds of years.

Those who win the scholar-bureaucrats win the world.

"His Royal Highness, we are not trying to rob the firearms arsenal of His Highness the King of Jin. Moreover, it is not the arsenal of His Highness the King of Jin. It is the arsenal of the Sui Dynasty. You are going to the northwest. This is His Majesty's wish. Naturally, the soldiers' equipment must be They have all been replaced with better ones.”

Yuan Xiaoju smiled slightly at this time and looked a little sinister: "Besides, how can one arsenal be enough in a place as big as the Sui Dynasty? In order to cover the northeastern front and the future southern front, at least two more firearms arsenals must be built. .”

"what do you mean?"

"It would be best to ask His Majesty to order the King of Jin to come to the land of Northern Qi to build a firearms arsenal for Your Highness."
