Chen Tianping arrived in Kunming in the autumn of the third year of Yongle. The military commander Huang Zhong who escorted him was the Left Vice General of Guangxi, who was reporting to the capital this year and took up the task.
Huang Zhong and Chen Tianping will stay in Yunnan for a while, waiting for the Yunnan Provincial Administration to dispatch troops and escort Chen Tianping back to China. Now, when the Yunnan Provincial Administration Commissioner mobilizes troops on the ground, it must inform the Han Palace and the Mu Palace.
Zhu Gaoxu soon learned the news and summoned Chen Tianping, Huang Zhong, and the old ministers of Annan to Chengyun Hall.
Chen Tianping looked very confident, which made Zhu Gaoxu very curious: the Hu father and son had committed regicide and usurped the throne, so they must have seized power. How could Chen Tianping, a member of the royal family, take back power after returning to Annan?
Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu t
It was the twelfth month of winter, and the current in this section of the Red River was still strong. The road along the river was wide, but on both sides were high mountains and steep ridges. Huang Zhong was a military commander who led troops all year round, so seeing this kind of terrain, he was inevitably nervous.However, after everyone passed through Jilingguan (Old Street) one after another, they gradually felt more at ease. Jiling Pass is one of the most important passes in the north of Anan Kingdom. Being able to pass this pass naturally makes people feel that things are going well.Lu Song, a civilian officer in the military, forced a smile on his face and said to Huang Zhong, "The Hu family resents Chen Tianping, but they dare not act rashly against the Ming soldiers, let alone us holding the imperial edict."Huang Zhong thought so and nodded, "What you said makes sense."After the Hu family usurped the throne, they sent advance envoys to t
Shi Qianxun, the chief minister of the Han Dynasty, said that firearms had been used frequently in the Central Plains since the Song Dynasty. By the Yuan Dynasty, firearms were used in almost every battle. Later, Annan, Dashi and other countries all used it.Within two days, Zhu Gaoxu met Shen Xu again. Shen Xu said that Annan had a seaport called Yuntun, where merchants from all over the world came to trade all year round. Han merchants also went there frequently, and saw many cannibals there.At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was a little worried that Annan might have learned more advanced firearms from Arabia or somewhere else. After all, China, which invented the firecracker, may not necessarily develop the fastest.Zhu Gaoxu was very concerned about this matter. When Huang Zhong's defeated army arrived in Kunming City, he personally came to Huang Zhong's army to inquire.Huang Zhong frowned and recalled, "At that time, the enemy soldiers suddenly launched.
Zhang Fu came out of the imperial city and told the big-mouthed Zhu Neng that since he had been appointed as deputy general, he did not dare to die and was going to do something now. So the two of them said goodbye. Zhu Neng left Hongwu Gate, while Zhang Fu stayed in Qianbu Corridor and went to the Jinyi Guards Office.It happened that Ji Gang, the commander of Jinyiwei, was not in the government office, so Zhang Fu was called to wait in the lobby.There were two people in the hall inside, discussing in a low voice. One of them had a handsome face and a short stature, only reaching the shoulder of the other general. The tall voice said, "The man in the hall can't even be ignored by the Jin Yiwei. Mr. Yang, please hurry up and ask for tea."The short Yang Zongqi asked curiously, "What's your background?"The tall man said, "He is a marquis."Yang Zongqi said "Oh"...Zhang Fu also knew that on this thousand-step corridor, it was easy to see the vari
It's late at night, and Yuan Gong hasn't fallen asleep yet. He stayed at Xuanzang Temple tonight, but he stood on the pagoda for half the night.The weather was clear and the stars in the sky were dazzling. Yuan Gong was counting on his fingers while looking at the stars. When he was a fortune teller, he learned a secret method of observing the sky. He stood here and counted for half the night. He felt that the southern general's fortune was declining and he was afraid of disaster!But when he thought that the coach of Zheng Annan was the King of Han, he decided not to say anything, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth....In May in Yunnan, the weather was sunny and the daytime was a bit hot. Zhu Gaoxu was lying in the corridor next to the study, covered with a quilt, sleeping. His forehead was soaked with sweat, his eyeballs moved under his eyelids but did not open, and his face was flushed.In the dream, he felt like he wa
Mu Sheng had not been to the Liyuan for a long time. One day, he suddenly received an invitation. Shen Xu invited him to go to the Liyuan to listen to a play.He hesitated for a moment and then prepared to go to the appointment. Mu Zhen, Mu Sheng's eldest daughter, loved to hear Li Lou from the Li Yuan sing opera, so she disguised herself as a man and followed Mu Sheng.Unexpectedly, soon after arriving at the theater, Mrs. Shen Xu came to see her. She said that the King of Han happened to have just arrived at the Shen Garden at the back, and heard that the Marquis of Xiping was in the Liyuan, and wanted to invite him to come and talk.At this time, Mu Sheng vaguely guessed that the person who invited him might be the King of Han. How can it be such a coincidence?Mu Sheng has been in Yunnan Mansion for many years, so he has naturally visited Shen Garden. Ordinary people here don't know it, but it is quite famous among the dignitaries of Kunming City.
After Zhu Gaoxu came to dominate Yunnan, he really tricked Mu Sheng. When Hu Hui traced the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, without Zhu Gaoxu's strong support, Hu Hui's matter would definitely not be possible.If Mu Sheng had not been confirmed to have protected Jianwen, the degree of suspicion of Mu Sheng by the court would have gradually decreased. In this war against the Kingdom of Annan, which has a strong military force and excellent conditions, Mu Sheng is also likely to get military merit; and he may be reintegrated into the power circle of the Yongle Dynasty and have the opportunity to be promoted to a higher rank based on his merits!As for ruining Mu Sheng's original plan to annex the Shen family, it was nothing compared to the more serious incident involving Emperor Jianwen.So Mu Sheng was badly cheated! He must have resentment in his heart, but he didn't necessarily hate Zhu Gaoxu that much. Zhu Gaoxu could see that Mu Sheng was still very restr
Walking into the Han Palace from the quiet Shen Family Garden, the atmosphere changed, and the flat and wide brick ground and the magnificent palace came into view. Zhu Gaoxu was in the gatehouse and saw several civil and military officials coming out of the government office, bending down to avoid the road.He passed by those people, turned around and looked at Zhao Ping, and asked, "Where is the Annan Queen's family home? Does Chen Xingwang know?"Zhao Ping immediately clasped his fists and said, "To reply to Your Majesty, I don't know. I asked Chen Xingwang about this matter, but he didn't know."After he finished speaking, he walked forward and followed Zhu Gaoxu, saying, "But for a person like the queen, it is not difficult to find out where her home is. Now Pei Boyi, an old minister of Annan, was arrested at Qin Station. We only need to wait until the army arrives in Annan and capture the surrendered official to ask him and we will know the answer."
Yuanjiang is the Red River. The army had to march southwards and first reach Yuanjiang, and then go east along the Red River.Zhu Gaoxu's troops were divided into five groups. Except for Wang Bin's vanguard, the rest of the troops were divided into four groups and marched forward one after another. Zhu Gaoxu led tens of thousands of people through Mengzi County, Lin'an Prefecture, and saw Yuanjiang within two days. It was already the beginning of July.The road along the Yuanjiang River was relatively easy to travel, mostly rolling hills. However, when the weather was clear, you could see the shadows of mountains on both the north and south sides, and high mountains in the distance. The ancient river had already chosen a path for people without high mountains blocking it.The weather in July was still hot, Zhu Gaoxu could not feel the breath of autumn, and it rained frequently. However, everyone was still in the territory of Yunnan Provincial Administration
