Turbulent Times Chapter 1432: I’m going to Jiangnan
Although there are many seafood fish nearby, there are also many fishing boats, and disputes often arise because of competition for space, and the fish species there are relatively common, so it is difficult to sell them at a price. Only by traveling far can you find good fish and sell them Good price.
These days are becoming more and more difficult. Although the Gao family has protected them, the thieves have never breached Gaohai City, but it is inevitable that the taxes on the people of Gaohai City have doubled in just one year.
Especially recently there was an additional war tax, and in order to prevent his son from being conscripted, he had to go up and down. Those officials.
My son is twenty this year, his family is poor, and he cannot marry a wife, but he is afraid of being conscripted into the army. As long as he goes to serve in the army these days, he will most likely die.
The old He family who fished with him was also the only son, so he was forced to serve as a soldier. Not long ago, someone from the army came to report bad news. He heard that he was sent to suppress bandits and was shot through by an arrow. The eyes and the corpse were not brought back, and no one collected the corpse. After hearing the bad news, Lao He couldn't afford to get sick. The family didn't have money to ask a doctor to see a doctor, and couldn't get any medicine. So he died of illness the day before yesterday. His wife hanged herself that night, and a good family was gone.
Wang Haisheng sighed, and muttered to himself: "This **** world really makes the poor have no way to live."
"Father, I heard that the people in Fanyang County, Donglai County, and Shanggu County controlled by King Qin An are living a very good life. The people have white flour buns to eat every day, and they are full. Some of the refugees in Gaoxuan County are about to starve to death. Not only did the government ignore them, but they even drove them to Fanyang County. As a result, King Qin An distributed food and ten acres of land to all the refugees who went to Fanyang County and Shanggu County in Donglai County.” Wang Haisheng’s son was born on a sea ship. Yes, that's why it's called Haiwazi, who was tanned and said yearningly.
Wang Haisheng sighed again, and said: "These are all rumors. Our family can barely survive starvation by relying on fishing. If there is a day when we are about to starve to death, we will move there Forget it, let’s not talk about it, our trip today is really not in vain!”
Haiwazi looked at the fish tank full of all kinds of rare fish, and smiled from ear to ear: "These fish can be sold for at least one tael of silver when they go ashore."
Wang Haisheng said with some emotion: "The money is probably not enough to manage those officials and masters, so that you will not be taken to serve as a soldier, alas! As long as you can stay at home safely, it doesn't matter if we go to sea a few more times." You can come out again this year. If you are lucky enough, the money you sell will be able to marry your daughter-in-law into your home. Your mother and I entrusted a matchmaker to tell you about the daughter of the Yu family. You know her too. Not bad. I just want a bride price of one tael of silver. I think that girl is quite good at housekeeping, one tael is just one tael!"
"It's her!" There was an embarrassed and honest smile on his face, it seemed that he was quite familiar with the daughter of the family.
"Father!" The son suddenly raised his head, looked into the distance, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, raised his finger and said, "There are so many boats!"
Wang Hai
He suddenly turned his head, and on the sea level, densely packed ships suddenly appeared, heading towards this side at an extremely fast speed.
The ships on the sea got closer, Wang Haisheng's face changed drastically, and he saw the military flag flying above the opponent's ships. But this is not important, what is important is that they are on the route in the direction of other people's driving.
"Where did the navy army come from?" the son said in a daze.
Wang Haisheng shouted hoarsely while holding the oars: "What are you doing in a daze, row the boat quickly, row to one side, don't get in front of them!"
Then the son came to his senses, and together with Wang Haisheng, he rowed the fishing boat desperately. Fortunately, they were right next to him, and they quickly drew out of the dangerous area, otherwise their boat would definitely be smashed into pieces.
No one of the officers and soldiers of the Haisha Battalion who came noticed that there was a very small fishing boat on their side that was desperately moving away from them, even if someone saw it, they didn't bother to pay attention.
Ten miles from the shore, Gaohaicheng Port could already be vaguely seen. Standing on the Sea Shark, Huang Shaoqiu could even use a telescope to clearly see the panic in the port, but there were no naval warships or troops stationed here.
Not long after, there was no one on the pier, and there was no armed defense. The long-range suppression attack prepared by the Navy of the Sea Shark Battalion to cover the attack of the Marine Battalion was not needed at all.
The troop carrier arrived at the shore smoothly, and the springboard with a width of more than ten meters was pushed off the ship amidst the shouts of the sailors and soldiers. A group of naval cavalry jumped out of the boat, brandished their sabers and rushed ashore, heading straight for Gaohai City.
The iron hooves were clanging, beating the stone slabs of the port, and the cavalry galloped all the way, rushing towards the east gate of Gaohai City, which had not received any news from more than ten miles away.
When the cavalry from the Marine Corps of the Sea Shark Battalion overtook the scattered people running towards Gaohai City at a fast speed, and then appeared outside Gaohai City, there was still a lot of traffic in front of the bustling and lively Gaohai City, and many people lined up The team waited to enter the city.
When the navy cavalry was four or five miles away, the people at the city gate and the soldiers at the gate felt the ground shaking and turned pale with fright. When they were about to close the city gate, suddenly someone among the people queuing in front of the gate shouted : "The pirates are coming!"
Then all the people came to their senses and rushed into the city with all their might. The four or five officers and soldiers who were collecting taxes were rushed aside. The officers and soldiers guarding the gates of Gaohai City were already dead, while hundreds of guards guarding the gates in the squad rooms on both sides rushed out of the house in a panic, but were blocked by the people. When they finally arrived at the gate of the city, the five thousand Far Eastern cavalry in the distance had already arrived.
……
……
On November 17th, the sad news of the fall of Gaohai City was sent to Gaoxuan County City. On the same day, the news that all three counties in Hebei Province had fallen into the hands of the Far East Army except Boling County City was also sent to Luoyang .
It was hard to digest all kinds of thieves, and Wagangzhai has controlled Henan four
county, while Li Yuan controlled the news of the entire Bingzhou counties, Yang Guang, who had not had time to catch his breath, spurted blood again under this huge blow, and fell to the ground slumped.
The palace of the Great Sui Dynasty was in chaos, and the government affairs of the court were controlled by Pei Shiju and Yu Shiji.
In the hall, there was a deathly silence. The officials who had just arrived had already been numb by the news one by one, and a shadow was cast over everyone's heart——the Great Sui Dynasty might soon fall. Therefore, apart from heavy panting, there was no sound in the hall.
Yang Guang was rescued by the imperial doctor, and he woke up faintly. He ignored the imperial doctor's request to rest and rest, dragged his sick body and sat on the dragon chair, his face extremely pale.
"Dear dear friends, now that my Da Sui is at the point of life and death, do you plan to come out?" Yang Guang's eyes swept over everyone in the hall.
Everyone bowed their heads.
Obviously they have no good strategy, or they can only mobilize the 100,000 soldiers of the capital now. However, given the current situation of domestic turmoil and besieged on all sides, the 100,000 soldiers of the capital that the Sui court can finally control will have unpredictable consequences. .
However, if you don't deploy troops to support the Quartet, and wait for the opponent's army to attack the city and plunder the land, it will only be a matter of time before the country is destroyed.
"Get out, you trash, what's the use of raising you, I'm going to kill you all today." Yang Guang suddenly stood up, pointed at the civil and military officials below and shouted hysterically. Kneeling down, still no one spoke.
"Come here, let me pull them all out to kill..." Yang Guang didn't finish speaking, his body shook, staggered, and was about to fall to the ground again. A group of eunuchs and imperial doctors rushed forward and laid Yang Guang on his stomach on the large dragon chair. At this time, Yang Guang had already passed out.
The Ouchi guard who rushed in was driven out by Yu Shiji with a wave of his hand. Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju glanced at the ministers, and the last two looked at each other and nodded slightly. Pei Shiju said to everyone: "Let's leave first Go back and do your part."
After a while, the officials with different expressions exited the main hall, left the palace, and went home in a hurry.
At this time, Yang Guang had been helped to the bed in the harem, Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju came to the harem, Yu Wencheng was already here, Yang Guang waved everyone back out, Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju came to Yang Guang's bed Before, softly said: "Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Yang Guang suddenly opened his eyes, the previous sickness was gone in his pupils, his face looked expectant, he didn't look like someone who was seriously ill and comatose.
"You two lovers, how are the preparations for my move to Jiangdu?" Yang Guang finished speaking in one breath, and looked at Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju expectantly.
Yu Shiji said: "Your Majesty, the ships for the harem and the court are all ready, but the ships are limited, and the 100,000 soldiers can only bring 60,000."
Yang Guang sighed, and said: "60,000 is 60,000! Prepare now, and I will move to the south of the Yangtze River in three days. Go down and prepare! Someone will call me the grandson of the emperor."
