Changbai Mountain's former Zhishilang, pure red Luo Mian's back crotch. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The long lance invades the sky and a half, and the wheel knife shines in the sun.

Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep.

Suddenly, when he heard the arrival of the official army, he raised his knife and swung forward.

For example, if Liaodong died, he was injured by beheading.

Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty made three expeditions to Goryeo, conscripted millions of soldiers and people across the country, "the world died in the service and the family was injured in wealth", and the people were struggling to make a living, and finally provoked a large-scale peasant uprising. This poem was written by a leader in the peasant uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Suddenly, when he heard the arrival of the official army, he raised his knife and swung forward. For example, if Liaodong died, he would be injured by beheading -- if the officers and soldiers arrived, I didn't want to meet them with a knife. If you go to the battlefield of Liaodong and die in vain, what is it compared to being cut off by the official army?!

This sentence shows the disappointment and resistance of the people at that time to Emperor Yang of Sui's conquest of Goguryeo.

In fact, although Emperor Yang of Sui was tyrannical and arrogant, he still had vision. It's just that he is too extreme, too anxious, and of course, himself, he is indeed too tyrannical, ignoring the people and detached from reality.

Emperor Yang of Sui is a great tyrant, but the tyrant is not a faint monarch, although Emperor Yang of Sui has no virtue, he has merit. It's just that his exploits are not unified with the happiness of the people, so there is a saying that "Weihuan is nothing more than people's grievances, and the brilliance is all blood blur". In other words, he did not deal with the relationship between merit in the present and benefit in the future, but instead became a crime in the present and benefit in the future, which was the biggest problem of Emperor Yang of Sui.

He's a tyrant. In order to conquer Goguryeo and realize his political ideals, he ignored the conditions of the customer, acted willfully, and dragged the people and the country into disaster, so he was called a tyrant. After the failure of the three expeditions to Goryeo, he became a faint king, he no longer knew what his responsibilities were, or rather, he already knew that the general trend was gone, and he didn't want to fulfill any responsibilities, just messing around, eating, drinking, and having fun, drunk and dreaming of death.

As far as the Sui Dynasty died, it was a river, and it has been thousands of miles away. If there is no water temple dragon boat matter, Gongyu will not have much merit.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty left behind many things that would benefit the future, and these things naturally include the various lessons he left behind, as well as the deep reflection that people are left behind.

For example, when he conquered Goryeo three times, he made a mistake.

"At that time, Emperor Yang had no way and sent millions of troops, but he had no talent for generals, regardless of the common sense of the art of war, insisted on going his own way, and was arbitrary and arbitrary, unable to listen to the words of other generals, delayed the fighters, the rear army did not arrive, and the logistics were not good, resulting in hundreds of thousands of Han sons and daughters becoming dry bones and buried in Liaodong." Li Shimin said to the people in the Liangyi Hall in a deep voice: "The old China in Liaodong has been set aside from Wei and Zhou. The fourth teacher of the Sui clan returned after losing the law, and there were countless good people who killed China...... I thought about it for a long night and dropped out of bed, which will be the revenge of China's revenge! ”

"Good!" Li Daozong immediately stepped out of the ranks and said, "Brother Chen is willing to be the vanguard and fight with him!" ”

Xia Hongsheng looked around, all the people in the Liangyi Hall were all people who supported Li Shimin's war to conquer Goguryeo, and none of them were ministers who opposed the conquest of Goguryeo, which shows that Li Shimin had already made a decision on the conquest of Goguryeo.

In the original history, the attack on Goguryeo went through three generations of emperors.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's conquest of Goryeo was a bit of a great achievement, with a sense of gamification and subjugation. And Tang Taizong is more practical at the tactical level. Tang Taizong laid the foundation, but his body did not hold up. Tang Gaozong continued to fight, and finally completely destroyed Goguryeo. And if there were no efforts of three generations of emperors to completely wipe out Goguryeo, then the direction of history would never be known.

The biggest external threat in the Sui and Tang dynasties was the Turks, but the Turks were nomadic people, had no fixed place to live, and had low productivity, even if the military power was strong, the Sui and Tang governments at that time were able to suppress it, and they were not afraid or affected the development of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Goguryeo, on the other hand, is located in today's Northeast China and North Korea, and in terms of culture and productivity, science and technology inherited the characteristics of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was basically completely sinicized, known as "China's second".

Although there are few people in Goguryeo, due to their own personality, no one is convinced, and they always want to become the leading boss in East Asia. Goguryeo was constantly harassing the Sui and Tang dynasties, and also secretly contacted the Turks, wanting to attack the Sui and Tang dynasties together and take advantage.

Because the Turks are nomadic cultures, it is unlikely that they will enter the Central Plains, while the culture of Goguryeo comes from the Central Plains and can take a big advantage.

And the leaders of the Sui and Tang dynasties also recognized the ambition of the wolf, and even if they did not pacify the Turks, they would strangle Goguryeo's ambition in the cradle.

However, the conquest of Liaodong at that time was not very smooth, after all, Liaodong was far away from the supply base of the Central Plains, and the consumption was too great, and Goguryeo's own culture was also grown from the Central Plains culture, and like the Central Plains, it relied on the fortress as a defense. There were a large number of fortress-style castles in Goguryeo, and the war was often a siege battle later, and the geographical conditions of Goguryeo made it even more extreme in the defense of the fortress.

If it weren't for the prosperity of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is estimated that it would not have survived.

Finally, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, after the efforts of three generations of emperors, Goguryeo was completely defeated and never existed!

To sum up, the dispute between the Sui and Tang dynasties and Goguryeo was mainly a dispute between the East Asian bosses, and as the traditional bosses, China and the rising star, Goguryeo, this war could not be avoided.

"The conquest of Goguryeo, with the only strength of our dynasty now, is enough to launch this expedition. It's just ......" The eldest grandson Wuji said to Li Shimin: "It's just a folk ...... At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang conquered Goguryeo three times, and the people were struggling to make a living, and their children were killed and injured countless times. Not many years have passed now, even if the imperial court has this ability, I am afraid that the people will be afraid when they think of the events of the end of the Sui Dynasty, like revealing scars, and they will be afraid. If His Majesty wanted to conquer Goguryeo, the minister thought that the most important thing should be to eliminate the fear in the hearts of the people of the results of Emperor Yang's three expeditions to Goryeo, so that the people would not be reminded of the war disaster caused by Emperor Yang in those years, and would be willing to support the imperial court to attack Goguryeo again. If not, it can't be done. ”

"Not bad. What the eldest grandson said was very true. Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Now in terms of military strength and armament, the Tang Dynasty is really not afraid of Goguryeo, but if it is about the people's will, I am afraid that it is not enough." Nowadays, our soldiers have cotton clothes and quilts, not afraid of the bitter cold of Liaodong, the location is favorable, and now our army has gunpowder and all kinds of firearms, and we are not afraid of the lofty mountains of Goguryeo. There are only people, and I am afraid that the people will remember the disaster of the year and be vivid again. ”

"Not really." Li Daozong shook his head and said, "The turmoil in the former Sui is not as good as my dynasty. Now the Tang Dynasty has just destroyed the Turks, swept the country, collected the forests, surrendered the four Yi, and respected His Majesty as the Khan of Heaven. The people know about this, and when they have confidence in the victory of the court and His Majesty, they will definitely support it in a big way. ”

Xia Hongsheng scratched his head, this, don't you still have to rely on interests to speak? (To be continued.) )
