Chapter 379 Red and White
This post road leading to Yunnan Prefecture is very old. It was inherited from the Yuan Dynasty, and perhaps existed in the earlier Nanzhao Kingdom. The compacted dirt road has ruts on the surface, as well as smooth curves that have been worn down by people and horses repeatedly.
The tall maple trees on both sides of the road block out the sun, and the orange-red branches and leaves are in perfect harmony with the colorful sunlight.
"Dong, Dong, Dong..." The deep and rough drumbeats evenly echoed on the unfathomable road. Along with them, there was also the orderly sound of "Cha, Cha..." footsteps. People did not deliberately make noise, but with more people, the footsteps gathered and became louder.
The sound of drums and footsteps shook the ground, and orange-red maple leaves in the air fell one after another, with brilliant colors and flying orange and red. The wide-brimmed iron helmets on the ground were swaying in unison with the footsteps of the people

Zhu Gaoxu had risks that he could not avoid. The enemies he faced in his first battle were not only the Sichuan Dusi, his target, but also the Guizhou Dusi on his flank, and the army of Zhang Fu of Annan, which was about 120,000 to 130,000 strong.Zhang Fu's entire army consisted of more than 70,000 soldiers from the southeastern provinces, 20,000 criminals who had escaped and were caught and made up for their mistakes, and guards from various vassal kings except for the guards from the Han Palace and the Shu Palace, totaling about 20,000 to 30,000 people.First, the region with the most guards in the southwestern provinces is Guizhou. Currently, there are 18 guards and two guards with a thousand households. Some guards have a staff of over 10,000 people, which greatly exceeds the fixed number of guards. This is because Guizhou is an important transportation hub connecting Yunnan, and there are many guards on several post roads.If Gu Cheng received an order
Game of the Throne Chapter 381 The Wind from the South
In the late autumn of September, everything in the world seems to have entered a cycle of replacement of old and new.After the news of Timur's death came from the Western Regions, Song Sheng, the Ming Dynasty's most capable general who deployed defenses in the northwest, also died. Only Song Sheng's two sons were left, and the capital was worried that the new king would care about some trivial matters... Two years ago, when the emperor was still the prince, he borrowed money from Song Sheng's two sons and their princess wives. Not very pleasant.Gu Cheng, who is already seventy-seven years old, wrote a letter saying that he is still strong and can work for a few more years....Earlier, Zheng He's fleet was returning and was attacked by the pirate Chen Zuyi off the coast of Champa. Chen Zuyi believed that Zheng He's fleet was carrying treasures and that he was an easy-to-bully eunuch, so he prepared to approach the Ming navy overnight and launch a siege.

After the tenth day of September, it would be the middle of the month. The army in Yunnan had not yet been fully assembled, but Zhu Gaoxu's 34,000 troops were ready. He could lead this large force to set off first.Mu Sheng's army of 17,000 people are mainly garrison troops near Dali Prefecture. They will be reorganized in Dali Prefecture City. After Mu Sheng arrives in Dali, he can go north from the west.The remaining troops are gradually arriving at Kunming City. Together with the remaining royal guards, the total strength of infantry and cavalry is about 22,000. General Sheng Yong led the main force of this army, plus Ping'an's more than a thousand cavalry, to defend Kunming City and even the entire Yunnan Chief Envoy.The weather in Kunming is fine and the sun is very bright.Zhu Gaoxu had a rare opportunity to accompany Guo Wei and three others for a walk in the garden behind the front palace. He felt that his affairs in Kunming had probably been

By the end of September, Qu Neng's army had occupied Yongningwei (Xuyong County) in Xuzhou. The Northern Division of the Han Wang Guarding Office was doing the work of spies and spies; at this time, the Han Wang army passed through Yongningwei, and it became easier for the Northern Division to send more people into the hinterland of Sichuan.Li Rang, the rear guard commander of Chengdu, returned home after finishing his shift. His servants quietly told him that a man who claimed to be his cousin had been waiting for him for half an hour.Li Rang entered the mansion and went to a room at the back door, and asked someone to bring his "cousin" in.During the Hongwu reign, Qu Neng was appointed as the Sichuan Commandery. Li Rang followed Qu Neng to suppress the rebellion of Juru Temur in Jianchang. Because of Qu Neng's merit, Li Rang was promoted to the deputy governor of the Commandery. However, during the Yongle reign, Li Rang was excluded from the Sichuan Com

The army was only two days away from reaching Naxi County, Luzhou. But it started to rain. Zhu Gaoxu ordered the army to camp in and around a small town called Jiangmenji, waiting for the rain to stop.There was no wind in the air, and the drizzle was drizzling. From a distance, it looked like rain or fog, just like the plum rain. The climate in Sichuan was indeed different from that in Beijing and Yunnan. It was still October, and it rarely rained in places like Beijing, let alone this kind of continuous drizzle.The road gradually became muddy. Zhu Gaoxu's boots and calves were covered with mud, and there were even spots of mud on his back, as if it had been splashed on his body while he was walking.The soldiers requisitioned a tile-roofed house as the headquarters of the army. Zhu Gaoxu and his companions walked into the small town occupied by the army and saw moss growing on the stone slabs on the roadside. The streets and houses in the rain looked quie

The winter in Beiping was dry and cold. All the grass and trees had withered, and there was not a single green leaf to be seen in the city. The entire city was filled with houses, as if it was built in the desert.Only the colorful lacquer paintings on the palace in Prince Zhao's mansion added a bit of color between heaven and earth.Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui liked to sit on the throne in the front hall, burn a whole row of smokeless charcoal in the main hall to keep it warm, and then listen to the civil and military ministers talking about this and that in a condescending manner.The face of the palace's chief official was very red. He was trying hard to explain some complicated content. "There are roughly three major forces in the north. Although this is biased, it is difficult to distinguish the ones that are fighting each other, but this is the only way to roughly explain it...After the Northern Yuan Khan Toghon Temur was killed, the tribes called

It is already the end of October, and the eleventh lunar month, known as the winter month, is beckoning ahead.The Han army had successfully crossed the Jinsha River. What impressed Zhu Gaoxu the most was the scene when he climbed up a high mountain cliff and looked down at the river after crossing the river. It seemed like an aerial painting in front of him.Between the green mountains, gray stones and brown soil, the light yellow river meanders, like a huge snake suddenly entrenched in it.Just as Qu Neng said, as you go upstream along the river, the terrain becomes increasingly different in elevation, and the water flows rapidly in many places; if the wind direction is not right, it is almost impossible for a wooden boat to go upstream in such a place.However, in the winding places like a "coiled giant snake", the water flows much more gently, and the river is slightly narrower during the dry season, so even a simple small boat can cross the river.

The sun had already set behind the hillside, houses, treetops, etc., and the surrounding objects were still visible, but gradually became slightly blurred. Zhu Gaoxu walked to the blue-tiled pavilion built by civil engineering.Sichuan Province is a basin, but the plain area seems to be small. Zhu Gaoxu has not seen a real plain so far. There are also mountains in Luzhou. Standing on the pavilion, you can see the unique streets outside the garden... The narrow hillside road paved with old stone slabs, with small shops on both sides, makes people feel very quiet and lonely.There are some big houses with large tiles on the roof, which look small and dense. People with trypophobia may feel uncomfortable. Such a big roof and so many tiles make people worry that it will collapse; however, those houses look very old and are obviously still solid.Miao Jin said goodbye, leaving Zhu Gaoxu standing alone behind the wooden railing. There were many soldiers walking ar
