In 1968, Yang Guang sent troops to attack Tuyuhun who disobeyed Wang Hua, opened up thousands of miles of territory, incorporated the territory from Qinghai to Kunlun Mountain into Chinese governance, and established a system of prefectures and counties.

In 1969, Yang Guang led a mighty army, starting from Chang'an, Kyoto, westward through Longxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and over the Qilian Mountains. It took him half a year to reach the Hexi Corridor against the wind and snow. Zhangye County, where he "flexed his muscles" to the Western Regions with the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty. This trip is of great significance. In the past five thousand years, Yang Guang was the first Chinese emperor to reach this far northwest.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty focused on Jingbian with one hand and culture and education with the other. In the first year after taking office, he issued an edict: "Teaching first, changing customs."

Luoyang has a dangerous terrain and is located in the center of the country, which can effectively control the north, govern the south of the Yangtze River, and consolidate the country.

Another major project is to dig the Grand Canal. This is a systematic water transportation project that requires a global mindset. In order to control the vast area south of the Yangtze River and transport the rich materials of the Yangtze River Delta to Luoyang, in 605, the Sui Empire recruited millions of migrant workers to build the Tongji Canal. In the same year, it was rebuilt and was called Yangshan Desecration. In 2008, millions of migrant workers north of the Yellow River were recruited to dig the Yongji Canal.

Comment on the merits and demerits of the century

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty started a generation of imperial glory and reigned for 24 years; when it was passed to Yang Guang, the Sui Dynasty fell apart after only reigning for 14 years, and Yang Guang himself He was also killed by the traitor Bai Juan. Why did an ambitious emperor destroy his dynasty and himself so quickly?

First of all, there is an imbalance between the strategic goals of national development and the implementation strategy, and urgent and tyrannical policies are unpopular. In the last two years of Yang's reign, the world was in chaos. His effective reign was only 12 years. During these 12 years, he traveled to the north and west and invaded the south. The construction of Luoyang City and the excavation of the Grand Canal did many great things. They are so busy that the people are exhausted.

It took one year to build the city and six years to open the canals, and millions of civilians were recruited at every turn. These two major projects, especially the canal project, benefited the country and the people, but for a period of time, the people's labor was heavy and miserable, and resentment breeds hatred, leading to trouble. However, Yang Guang's hasty actions, rough management, and failure to cherish the power of the people added fuel to the fire. His urgent politics and tyranny intensified conflicts. Ordinary people cannot control "future interests",

But I care about the warmth and coldness in front of me.

Second, there is an imbalance in military and diplomatic strategies and tactics, blindly underestimating the enemy and harming national vitality.

There are three regimes in North Korea, Baekje and Silla on the Korean Peninsula. Baekje and Silla sent envoys to Korea, but the powerful ruler of Korea, Gaoyuan, refused to come to Korea and often harassed the Songhua River Basin.

Yang could not bear the contempt and blindly launched three expeditions. In the first expedition to Goryeo, only a few thousand soldiers returned from a million-strong army; in the second expedition to Korea, nearly a million soldiers were likely to suffer heavy losses, the country was greatly weakened, and there were many rebellions in the rear; after three expeditions to Korea, the Korean emperor Gao Yuan did not dare Fighting continued, so an envoy was sent to surrender. The Sui Empire achieved final victory, but it was riddled with holes and rebels everywhere.

It was retreat and numbness that ruined themselves and the Sui Empire.

There were even wars raging against the king everywhere. The common people, local snakes, officials, and generals of the Sui Dynasty fought hundreds of large and small incidents, mainly in the Yellow River Basin. If Yang Guangruo rectifies his forces and suppresses Caress, the situation may not be out of control. But somehow he chose to run away.

Yang Guang started his third trip south to Jiangdu in his luxury fleet, leaving behind both Xi and Luoyang
