Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven

The arrival of Fang Xuanling freed Li Shimin from the complicated affairs, and he was free to do what he wanted to do.After the conversation, Li Shimin immediately decided to let Fang Xuanling be his mastermind.At this time, just four months after the anti-flag was raised, his own team had reached 130,000 people. Managing these 130,000 people requires superpowers.In order to win the hearts of the people, Li Shimin made strict demands on his subordinates.Those who make meritorious deeds shall be rewarded, and those who have committed faults shall be punished. They share the fate of the people and commit no crimes.In fact, Li Shimin has learned his lesson.This kind of lesson naturally comes from classics, but the more important source is reality.

Just a few months ago, Yang Guang put on a good show for Li Shimin. Jiangdu is full of life and wine, but when he was having fun, Yang Guang suddenly found that all the civil and military officials around him had slipped away.So I was furious, but after thinking about it for a long time, my anger subsided.He knew that it wasn't that these people were unjust, but that Jiangdu was indeed too dangerous.So, Yang Guang asked listlessly, "What should I do?" Since the emperor asked a question, he naturally wanted to give an explanation.So, an attendant said foolishly: "The reason why these soldiers and generals run away is because they want to go home and marry their wives. If they are allowed to get married in Jiangdu, they will stop running around!" A series of very speechless decisions were issued.

First, the whole army assembled; Then all the people of the city assembled; Finally, let the soldiers and the people whose daughters are not married form a square formation, and let the soldiers choose. Yang Guang didn't know that marrying a daughter-in-law is not about going to the two-yuan supermarket and buying everything for two yuan, let alone playing house, holding hands is a husband and wife.But Yang Guang knew that the reason why the common people hated the soldiers so much was that a few days ago, many soldiers in the barracks ran to the common people's homes to rob them, and raped women by the way.This time, he asked the victim to identify the sergeant.

Based on the basic principles of voluntariness as the primary, coercion as the secondary, and reverse primary and secondary, things went quite smoothly. On this day, the entire city of Jiangdu became a ghost city.Weeping and pain were mixed together, and the whole city was painted with a layer of sadness.In order to retain the army, Yang Guang took great pains - unfortunately to no avail. Those who should run should still run, those who should slip should still slip, and those who are married to their daughter-in-law should slip with their wives.Soon, the population of Jiangdu was reduced by more than half.Li Shimin figured out that the key to retaining people is nothing else. Scholars rely on righteousness, soldiers rely on profit, troops rely on generals, and generals rely on the Lord.

Tang Jun's coach Li Yuan finished his tea and took a calm look at Chang'an. Before attacking Chang'an, he decided to do another big thing. Open warehouses for relief. The people in the old city of Chang'an rejoiced and signed up to join the army one after another.Of course, the purpose of joining the army is not necessarily pure. Maybe it is because you can eat, or because you have a deep hatred for the Sui Dynasty. In short, most of them are not for ideals.Among the majority of people, there are also ideals, that is, to succeed in the future, to be promoted to rank, because Li Yuan started to issue official certificates again.

On the matter of opening a warehouse for relief, Li Yuan personally handled it, because just last month, Yang Guang still performed a good show for him that is worth learning from. Floods broke out in Henan and Shandong, and the people were in distress. There was no food, and countless people died of disease and starvation on the roadside. The whole area exuded a terrible smell of corpses.Yang Guang has never been considerate of the people in his life, but this time, he is.So they ordered to open warehouses to help the victims, and the local officials were puzzled by the order. According to the previous method, it is absolutely impossible for Yang Guang to open a position. Now that the situation is like this, but he pretends to comfort him, what kind of situation is this?The officials refused to open warehouses, and tens of thousands of people starved to death.What they didn't know was that the food didn't become their bargaining chip in the end, but was snatched by Li Mi instead.

There are strategies above and countermeasures below, and Li Yuan knows it.After drinking tea, after reading the situation analysis report, he began to plan how to capture Chang'an City.Li Yuan's banner is to eradicate the tyrant and support Yang You. For this glorious dream, he needs to make a detailed plan.On this day, he ordered: "After the various departments invade Chang'an, they are not allowed to destroy Yang's ancestral temple, let alone kill their clan. Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" All the troops gathered in one place and surrounded Chang'an.According to the general theory, as the capital of the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an was not so easy to defeat.But this is only in theory, the reality is that the entire battle has only a dozen words of introduction.He was talking about Sun Hua's heroic battle, he was killed by an arrow, Lei Yongji went to the city first, and Chang'an went down.

Li Yuan succeeded, the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people. It is indeed a bit unexpected that the more than 200,000 troops he led took down Chang'an without any effort.At this time, the most depressed person was Yang Guang. Without his knowledge, Li Yuan bowed far away, respecting him as the Supreme Emperor, and making Yang You the Sui Emperor.The person who was more depressed than Yang Guang was Sui Emperor Yang You at this time. After entering the city, a group of vanguard soldiers went straight to the East Palace, wanting to capture Yang You alive to receive a reward.When they arrived in such a hurry, they unexpectedly didn't meet anyone.In the entire East Palace, there are only two people left.One is Yang You, and the other is a literati named Yao Silian.

Yang You was so frightened that he trembled, and the officers and soldiers in the hall clamored to take him to see Li Yuan.At this time, Yao Silian, who has always been docile, suddenly burst out angrily: "Duke Tang raised the banner of righteousness to help us in the Sui Dynasty. Don't be rude!" After hearing this, the soldiers of His Royal Highness did not dare to say anything, and could only Standing under the hall without moving.After a while, Li Yuan came to welcome Dai Wang, placed him in Shunyang Pavilion, and let Yao Silian take care of him. Li Yuan wailed loudly and left.

What he has to do is more important things. He said that when they enter Chang'an, those criminals must be punished.So after this battle, Li Yuan did a great job in combating corruption.He successively beheaded more than a dozen well-known corrupt criminals in the capital, and ordered the army and Minqiu to have no crimes.Amid the applause of the crowd, Li Yuan ushered in one of his deadly enemies. Li Jing. Name: Li Jing, word pharmacist Nickname: Brother Jing, Heavenly King Born: North Zhou Tianhe six years, AD 571 Birthplace: Sanyuan, Yongzhou (now northeast of Sanyuan County, Shaanxi)

Occupation: General, military strategist Courage: ★★★★★★★ Resourcefulness: ★★★★★★★ Handsome talent: ★★★★★★★ Know people: ★★★★★ Politics: ★★ Most Honorable: Fighting Likes: fighting Best for: fighting Works: "Six Army Mirror", "Yin Talisman Machine", "Jade Tent Classic", "Ba Guo Zhen", "Secretary Tao Qian", "Notes of the Duke of Wei"... Motto: If you know clearly, you will not offend the people. Comrade Li Jing was born in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Since he was a teenager, he has shown the level that a general should have.He is a fierce general on the battlefield, and a man of temperament on weekdays.Comrade Yang Su once was with the young Li Jing, touched his sitting bed and said to him: "From now on, this seat (Prime Minister) will be yours!" Li Jing and Li Yuan, although both surnamed Li, are not a family.Before Li Yuan rebelled in Jinyang, Li Jing had an insight into it, so he reported it to the court, but the court refused to accept it. The result of not accepting it is that Sui Ting is finished, and Li Jing is also finished. Li Yuan killed officials who were resented by the people, and ignored all other officials who had no serious mistakes.But now, he wanted Li Jing's life.Like this, Li Jing was tied to the guillotine like a pig, waiting to see his uncle.Li Jing's uncle was Han Qinhu, a general of the Sui Dynasty. Han Qinhu was the incarnation of King Yama. We often see such a scene in the play, when the executioner raises the sword and is about to drop it, a man will suddenly kill him, riding a tall horse and shouting: "Keep the man under the knife!"The order of appearance in this play is first the executioner, then Li Jing, and the person killed is Li Shimin. Li Shimin wanted to take Li Jing for his own use, so he told Li Yuan eloquently that Li Jing was good.You probably don't know that Li Shimin is also very good at talking, very annoying, and very emotional. At the end of the talk, Li Yuan was upset, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't talk, I won't kill him, it's up to you." In this way, Li Shimin succeeded. At this time, Li Yuan couldn't be confused about such trivial matters.What he has to do now is to canonize himself. However, the certificate of canonization is all stamped by Yang You.Huang Yue, envoy Chijie, the military governor inside and outside the metropolitan, the prime minister, and Lu Shangshu are all Li Yuan's officials. If this is not enough, he changed Tang Gong into Tang Wang.Li Yuan seemed very reluctant at the beginning, but he had no choice but to accept the canonization under the pleadings of Yang You and Baiguan. Li Yuan is a very smart person. He is coercing the emperor to make the princes, and no one can make irresponsible remarks morally.Another point is very important, as the saying goes, "Shoot the first bird with a gun", if you really take the throne first, you will definitely recruit people to beat you.This is an era when tigers dominate dragons, peasant uprisings are in full swing at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and countless careerists are greedily looking at Chang'an. Now that Chang'an is occupied, things have to be done. Li Yuan is busy, he will not know that at this time in Hedong, a life-and-death war is brewing. Han Qinhu: Boring means that no one chats with you. Li Jing: Tell you not to force me, if you force me I will pretend to be dead for you!
