Chapter 161: Not optimistic about the high sentence
"What news?" I couldn't help but say curiously. Although I also care about national affairs, the problem is that I don't have that way to care, so I can only passively. But now it's August and it's autumn. I really don't know what's going on in the north now.
"Just mid-last month, my father persuaded the emperor to move the emperor to Liaodong. Two days later, the Liaodong city was destroyed by our army again, and the Goguryeo defender surrendered again, and happened to have arrived at the Liaodong city. The Goguryeo people didn't expect it. The emperor was very happy and ordered to enter the city. The Goguryeo people knew that the emperor was coming and wanted to rebel. They were caught off guard. My Great Sui army was damaged for the New Year. The emperor was furious and rushed the army to attack him. By night, there were no more Goguryeo remnants in Liaodong city." Yang Shidao said in a low voice.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I heard this. Fortunately, it was very good. I remember historical records. Liaodong City trapped the soldiers and horses of the Sui Dynasty for nearly half a year before it was broken. Now, at least one to two earlier
"It's so good. In this way, my elite spirit of the Great Sui Dynasty has not yet disappeared. I hope it will be best to go down to Goguryeo in one go. Otherwise, if there is a recurrence, the suffering will still be the people in the world." I nodded, and a smile finally appeared on my face.
"That's true. The rebellion in Shandong is becoming increasingly fierce now, and the army in the court is out of reach." Li Shimin, who had come over for some time, sighed. "If it's not pacified, I don't know how many people will suffer."
"Although there are still some soldiers and horses in the court, we must be guarded against the ambitious Turks nowadays, so we dare not move lightly. The soldiers and horses of Shandong counties are not the opponents of those rioters." Liu Hongji also expressed his views as a child of a martial artist.
"Although the Turks are not my enemy of the Great Sui Dynasty, their strength can be regarded as the most powerful among the countries around the Great Sui Dynasty. If you are not careful, how can you miss the opportunity with the jackal nature of the Turks? You will definitely enter my Central Plains to rob me." Li Yaoguang's analysis made me very agree with it. He was less than fifteen years old, but he was able to recognize military and national affairs. Even if he was impressed every day, it would require talent. Otherwise, the education in later generations would be more developed, but those fourteen or five-year-old little kids would be like this, and they would snot and cry to make a fuss with their parents.
"Yes, alas, I really hope that the emperor can quickly take Goguryeo and return to the court to preside over the affairs of the government to determine the overall situation. Otherwise, who would know how many troubles would happen?" Li Jiancheng shook his head and smiled.
"Brother Shi, until now, are you still not optimistic that the emperor can conquer Goguryeo?" Li Yaoguang raised his eyes and looked at me, his eyes full of curiosity and exploration fell on my face.
"If the emperor could move to Liaodong City as soon as possible, Liaodong City would probably have been broken three months ago. If the emperor did not involve the command of the generals on the front line, Liaodong City would have been broken three months ago." I glanced at everyone present, and everyone looked at me, and it seemed that I also hoped to get the answer from me.
"And now, it is not far from Zhongqiu, but the army has only captured the Liaodong City on the bank of the Liao River for more than a month. Now, even all the cities can be determined by fighting and descending in a glance. As we continue along the way, it is probably good to be able to cross the Yalu River now."
"The weather is getting colder. I heard from my father that he sent a million troops. Although he was majestic, the winter clothes were purchased by the emperor until the emperor set out to Liaodong. "Li Shimin thought about it and decided to tell the news.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp. "What do you mean is that if it is winter, nearly two-thirds of our soldiers will be frozen?"
"A batch has been sent in the past few months, but at least 30% of the soldiers lack winter clothes." Li Shimin's voice became more and more bitter. And we all had helpless and shocked expressions.
A million soldiers, 30% of the soldiers were at least 300,000. Think about it, what would be a desolate and sad scene of 300,000 soldiers following the thin soldiers braved the wind and snow of the winter?
"The bitterness and coldness of Liaodong is even worse than that of the Central Plains. Even in the Central Plains, if there is no winter clothes, it will be dead in winter. If the soldiers in Liaodong lack winter clothes, wouldn't that mean..." After saying this, Li Yaoguang's voice couldn't help but feel much more depressed.
Although the millions of troops are powerful, the problem is that a severe cold weather alone is enough for people to feel palpitations. Think about it, if the army was still conquering Liaodong after the beginning of winter, how could those thin-clothed soldiers withstand such severe cold?
"Originally, we were quite confident about the millions of troops who were fighting in Goguryeo, but now... even if we really win, it would be a miserable victory. After all, it is still a thousand miles away from the banks of the Yalu River to the capital of Goguryeo." Liu Hongji, as a warrior, was also very concerned about this matter, but now, even he felt something was wrong.
Such dark clouds enveloped our young people, but no one could do anything about it. It was the war that took place in Liaodong and the war that was commanded by the son of today. What can we do?
There were many generals who had been through the battle formation for a long time in the Great Sui Dynasty, and they were probably very clear about the principle of severity. However, when the emperor had to pass the imperial edict he agreed to, all the generals could only stare at him.
After all, everything was caused by Yang Guang, the Emperor of Sui who was like a time traveler in the first half of his life.
It seems that King Guande Yang Xiong still listened to some of my suggestions. After seeing that Yang Guang was indeed as I expected, he managed to persuade Yang Guang to move under the city of Liaodong. Otherwise, I really don’t know how long this battle to trap the city will last.
Since Yang Xiong could hear it, I was relieved and relieved. I believe that Yang Xiong could pay more attention when his army crossed the Qingchuan River. I believe that the story of the Yizhi Wende flooding the Sui Dynasty's army of 300,000 will not be reproduced in history.
I care about military and national affairs, but I cannot influence them. Therefore, I can only be honest in our serious affairs as time travelers, that is, to make money first and lay a good foundation for our future.
In less than a month, nearly one million kilograms of coal flour were purchased by my son's coal factory. Then, in Quanjude Hotel, I had already felt the cold late autumn. The iron stoves with honeycomb coal burning with hot water on them attracted everyone's attention. When I heard that this iron stove could be made of coal flour, which is of high quality and low price.
My son's ironware workshop and honeycomb coal factory began to grow in a boom period. In just two months, more than a thousand coal stoves were sold. Moreover, coupled with the publicity of the workers who sold honeycomb coal sent by me, many people's stoves at home were renovated and could also use this kind of cheap honeycomb coal, and I made a lot of money.
More importantly, the construction of the Grand Theater uses brick, stone and cement structure, plus the family soldiers and servants under my command. In addition, in the countryside, the 600 households in the Duke of Qi who had already harvested grain and stone were under our jurisdiction. Well, although my father has a fief of thousands, it was not a real seal in this era, so the 600 households are already very good.
These families have harvested their food and finished their farm work. Now they have been summoned by my son and paid wages according to their work. Two or even three laborers in each family have been squeezed here, with 1,300 and four hundred people, and are in full swing at Quanjude Grand Theater.
