The border generals who rebelled under the banner of "clearing the emperor's side" were eventually wiped out by the imperial army composed of the Beijing camp and local troops. However, the problems of the Ming Dynasty were far from being solved, and they had just begun.
The rebel is dead, but the manifesto he left behind is still there and has a huge impact.
Just like all the wars in the Ming Dynasty, those who started the war had to find "righteousness" first and have a legitimate reason. The general and his entourage, of course, understood these things, so they launched the campaign to clear the emperor's court, pointing out that the emperor was surrounded by treacherous officials. The direct evidence was the emperor's curse that "the whole court is full of treacherous officials." They also listed the crimes of those "treacherous officials" in detail.
The gist of the manifesto is that the treacherous and corrupt officials relied on their power to deceive
Today, the Donggang Fortress has long been abandoned, and the modern garrison no longer needs such fortifications. After going through vicissitudes of time, it has been preserved and has become a relatively unpopular tourist attraction.The bunker was mottled with bullet holes from the past, and even the world's largest fortress cannon at the time became a must-see exhibit here. Gao Xu touched the pits and dents on the wall, and, under the guidance of the tour guide, climbed up the fortress along a narrow stone staircase.There were indeed few tourists, and there were only a few other white people who came up to visit.Finally, I saw the fortress cannon. The tail parts had long been rusted, and the cannon body had turned brown, without any metallic luster. But its posture remained the same. The huge cannon barrel tilted towards the sky, as if telling of its former majesty.Gao Xu seemed to see thick smoke rising and the earth shaking, and seemed to hea
I remember that more than 400 years ago, Gao Xu and his civil and military officials sat in a tent, eating dry steamed buns and drinking wild vegetable and meat soup with only salt. Gao Xu said: The key is not what to eat or where to eat, but who to eat with. There was no lack of laughter and wonderful and sharp conversations during the camping.Although the food we had this evening was sumptuous, the experience was quite poor.Gao Xu disliked Amen more and more.When we first met, this guy was okay. Although he was wearing a lot of gold and silver, it was not a problem. Some people are just sanguine and extroverted and like to show off, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are difficult to get along with. It doesn't affect anything. Amen was still very warm and friendly at first.However, gradually Gao Xu began to feel unhappy in various ways.Through the translator, Amen boasted about the fact that he had slept with female tourists from various
Yang Kui said on the phone, "I learned about this after receiving a call from the local department. They should have obtained Mona's cell phone and notified the nearest contact. Mona is now seriously injured and is receiving treatment in the hospital. Mr. Liu didn't receive the call?"Gao Xu glanced at Miao Jin and turned on the speakerphone, "No. Didn't you send her back to her residence last night?"The voice on the phone said, "Of course it was delivered. Something happened to Mona at her residence. The perpetrator might be her classmate. The suspect probably knows where she lives.""Amen?" Gao Xu asked."It should be." Yang Kui said. He paused and then said, "The police are investigating the case, just leave it to them. I think I should inform Mr. Liu about this, so I called to tell him. The money you gave her last night was also stolen."Gao Xu asked what hospital Mona was in. Yang Kui then offered to pick up Gao Xu and the others, and the d
Miao Jin was making a long distance call to China. Judging from the way she spoke and the address she gave, the person she was talking to at first should be Wei Zhongming. Then she hung up the phone and answered another one, which was another person calling. While she was answering the call, she picked up a pen and started writing on paper.Gao Xu sat in a chair in the living room of the suite, waiting, thinking about this matter in his mind. Currently in a foreign country, he was unfamiliar with the place, so the most efficient way should be to find a way through the introduction of the Wei family.Miao Jin finished the call, walked over to Gao Xu, sat sideways opposite him, and handed him a note, "Someone will call in a while."Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Miao Jin's phone rang. She took a look and handed the phone to Gao Xu.A man's voice came from inside. It should be an official from the embassy. He said without further ado, "I have a g
Gao Xu was not able to leave for the time being. He and Miao Jin continued to wait in the hotel for about seven or eight days. Until a video was sent from an unfamiliar number. This surprised him a little, because the efficiency was indeed very high, which was completely different from what Yang Kui said, "Some local case files can be dragged on for decades."The environment in the video is very desolate, surrounded by sand and loess, but there are vehicles with flashing lights and soldiers, which should be the execution ground. A man with his hands tied behind his back is escorted out of the car, the hood on his head is pulled open, and the camera takes a close-up of his face. This person is Amen.Amen swung his upper body and said something loudly. Gao Xu, who clicked on the video, of course did not understand it at all, but he could feel the tone and expression. Amen's face was full of fear and confusion, as if he was arguing.But no one spoke to him, onl
Miao Jin's vacation hasn't ended yet, but as soon as Gao Xu comes back, she plans to start working on her plans.His employees Wang Cheng and Deng Jiamin took the initiative to contact Gao Xu via email to report on their recent work. They spent the most time summarizing the experience from the previous animation and keeping up with the learning process.If Gao Xu hadn't received the email, he would have thought that both of them were on paid leave. It was obvious that modern Ming people's career pursuits were more positive than Gao Xu felt. On the contrary, after he made money, he became a little relaxed, and he really didn't care much.Gao Xu felt a little confused when he got back to business. He decided to go to the Wei family's film company first to see if the film company could make TV series. Gao Xu also called two employees.First, Xiao Deng was asked to make an appointment with Wang for production. The next day, Gao Xu and the other four drove
We visited all the way to Wei Jixun's office, which was located in the tallest building in the courtyard. At this time, there were not many people traveling together, and the eldest brother-in-law finally mentioned the issue of participating in the shares.Gao Xu did not answer immediately. He looked out of the French window and examined the surrounding environment again. The morning sun shone obliquely on the buildings, and a huge shadow appeared on a low building. It was the high building under his feet that blocked the sunlight.Wei Jixun spoke again. Gao Xu could only retract his gaze and look at him, pretending to listen attentively."Our original cooperation method was that after the budget was drawn up, Brother Liu and other investors would contribute money to the animation studio as production costs. To be honest, the studio's profits were already included in the budget. In addition, when the profits were distributed, the animation studio, as the pro
Brother-in-law Wei Jixun is slightly older than Gao Xu and is also a man in his thirties.But Gao Xu knew very well that there was an almost insurmountable gap between the two of them. It was not until Gao Xu's first animation was successful that he not only entered the capitalist class but also won high-end halos such as the Concubine Shu's Golden Fan Award. The gap was bridged.Just as Gao Xu said to Yang Ying, the greatest role of money for him was not material enjoyment.Of course Miao Jin might also accept that Gao Xu didn't have much contact with the Wei family, and she even mentioned eloping. But this method has sequelae after all. Gao Xu believes that actively integrating into and adapting to the environment is the best result.Perhaps Wei Jixun’s previous suggestion makes sense. Gao Xu should allocate capital, stabilize the class, and avoid changes like “taking the elevator”.However, he did not think too much about it for the time being
