In the city of Chengdu, the Sichuan Provincial Administration, the residence of Mu Sheng was so crowded that the numerous carriages and horses could not move, so people had to walk. Servants carrying boxes and porters carrying loads could be seen everywhere, and the things people were carrying were all tied with red satin, creating a festive atmosphere.
Man proposes, God disposes! Seeing this scene, Duan Yang, who was sitting in a corner on the road, sighed in indignation.
Her messy hair, her eyes showing hatred and anger, her teeth clenched and made a loud "clack" sound...
Last year, Mu Sheng's son Mu Bin died at the hands of Duan Yang! She used Duan Xuehen to trick Mu Bin and others out of the mansion in the capital, and set an ambush to assassinate Mu Bin!
Duan Yang's intention in doing this was not only that she could avenge the Mu family, but also that she would have the opportunity to sow discord between the Mu family and the court, so that the M
As the sun gradually set over the horizon west of Hengzhou City in the evening, Zhu Gaoxu left the city and came to the camp of the 50,000 surrendered soldiers under Wang Bin's command.There were more than 100,000 more soldiers in Hengzhou City today, and the barracks left by the government troops in the city were not enough to accommodate them; the army did not have time to arrange more houses that day. So some soldiers set up camp near the parade ground outside the city, including the surrendered soldiers captured after the battle of Baoqing Prefecture.All the generals above the rank of guard commander of these armies were replaced; but the number of surrendered troops was too large, and many of them belonged to the Beijing camp, so they have not been reorganized so far.Zhu Gaoxu suddenly came to the military camp with his guards. Many soldiers around stood up and looked over here.Soon, the convoy carrying pigs, sheep, and wine arrived outside th
Hengzhou City in the early winter morning is shrouded in a layer of milky white fog.Before daybreak, Zhao Ping went to the Central Army Headquarters to report some routine military affairs. He was too embarrassed to stay in the headquarters for too long, so he had already walked out of the courtyard where the Central Army Headquarters was located. He walked to the guards waiting outside the door and silently took over the reins.Zhao Ping was not in high spirits and remained silent. On the day of the decisive battle in Baoqing Prefecture, he knew that he had performed poorly.Although some of the surrendered soldiers did not fight for their lives, there were certain reasons; but Zhao Ping recalled many times and had to admit that the biggest problem was him, the commander of the left wing! He failed to judge the situation in various parts of the battlefield in time, and did not send the Quanyong team to the places where the troops were really needed in time
The weather was clear and the morning sunshine quickly dispelled the humid fog in Hengzhou.In the central military headquarters, Zhu Gaoxu had been considering a question: should he send someone to persuade Zhang Fu to surrender?He was no longer wearing the heavy armor, but a dragon robe, but without a hat. He was looking through a whole stack of maps in the study for a long time, then stood up and paced back and forth in front of a wooden window.After a while, he suddenly noticed someone at the door. When he turned around, he saw Miao Jin standing at the door holding a teacup. Zhu Gaoxu asked in surprise, "Miao Jin, why don't you come in?"Miao Jin's voice said, "I thought Gao Xu was going to recite a poem."Zhu Gaoxu initially thought it was a joke, just trying to tease him; but soon he felt that there was no joking intent in Miao Jin's voice, and when he observed Miao Jin's face, he saw that her expression was calm and she did not smile at
First, Sheng Yong mentioned crossing the Xiangjiang River and the army continuing to advance eastward, but Zhu Gaoxu did not respond immediately.Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "I have a bold idea these days, a possibility. If the main force of the anti-crime army marches straight into the capital, what do you think will happen?"After hearing this, all the generals were stunned.Sheng Yong thought for a moment and spoke first, "The people of the capital were in a panic at that time. I estimated that some of the defenders would take advantage of the situation to open the gates and surrender! As long as the punitive army enters the capital, they will be able to control the entire city. Those who open the gates will no longer have to worry, and will not be punished by the false emperor and his ministers."Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Sheng Yong and nodded, "General Sheng and I agree. If the army can march straight in, the war will soon be ove
After Zhu Gaoxu wrote the letter of surrender, he still did not let go of the matter. He spent almost the whole day thinking about Zhang Fu.Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng actually sent someone! This was someone Zhu Gaoxu had never expected.Chen Dachui delivered the letter into the study and stood by. Zhu Gaoxu said nothing and read Liu Sheng's letter first; then he turned the letter to the left, facing the bright window, and carefully observed the seal on the back of the letter in the sunlight.This was because Zhu Gaoxu was not familiar with Liu Sheng's handwriting and could not tell the authenticity, so the seal on it actually came in handy.Zhu Gaoxu was not very familiar with Liu Sheng. During the Jingnan Campaign, Liu Sheng did fight in the Jingnan Army, but his military rank was not high; Zhu Gaoxu did not know him at that time.It was not until the decisive battle of the "Crusade against Crime" in Huguang that Liu Sheng gradually came into Zhu
Duke Ying Zhang Fu has only one son, Zhang Bozhong. Unfortunately, Bozhong is disabled, with deformed and paralyzed limbs and difficulty in moving. Moreover, more than one doctor has diagnosed that Bozhong cannot have children.For many years, this was the thing that Zhang Fu could not let go of when he was not doing official business! So he took in several concubines, determined to continue to have children, otherwise how would the Zhang family's incense be passed on?However, he gave birth to several daughters in succession, but still failed to have a second son.Under the fate of fate, Zhang Fu had no choice but to think of adopting a son from his two younger brothers. But he was only in his thirties and never gave up hope...In the central military camp in Changsha City, Zhang Fu thought of this matter again. But he didn't think much about it, after all, it was not a one- or two-day thing.He had been in the study for some time, and finally l
Before we knew it, it was already the twelfth month of the sixth year of Yongle (the first year of Hongxi) and the second year of Zhu Gaoxu's "campaign to punish criminals" was also coming to an end.Zhu Gaoxu remembered that he spent last winter in the Sichuan Provincial Administration, but this winter he was in Huguang.Huguang Province in the south is still cold in winter, and the wind is even stronger than in Sichuan. The main door of the central hall in the courtyard of the Central Army Headquarters was closed, but from time to time a gust of cold wind blew in through the crack of the door, making people shiver.At this time, Qu Neng's troops, as well as the troops under Sheng Yongping's previous command, and the main forces of the King of Han's army had gradually approached Hengzhou City.Because Zhang Fu did not reply for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu's letter of surrender fell on deaf ears; so in the central army hall, Zhu Gaoxu and several generals h
Yuan Gong argued with several ministers in the Imperial Academy all afternoon, but nothing was accomplished.When he walked out of the door, a light white light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, which brought him back to his senses from his boring thoughts. Yuan Gong took a closer look and saw that there were small snowflakes floating on the ground.He was slightly surprised. When he walked into the Hanlin Academy, it was obviously not snowing. So he couldn't help but look up at the sky, and saw that deep in the scattered snowflakes, the sky was gray and gloomy. The snowflakes did not surprise him, but the clouds matched his state of mind.Yuan Gong raised his head for a long time, then turned to look at the Chengtian Gate Tower. The gorgeous pavilions and palace walls were covered in snowflakes, and those buildings seemed to be shrouded in some resentment.The huge palace is very grand. But when Yuan Gong thought about the emperor living inside
