Chapter 551 The person who opens the door
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

Game of the Throne Chapter 553: Not Righteous
Zhang Fu decided to surrender!When Zhu Gaoxu heard the news, he suddenly stood up from his chair, raised his fist in the air, and said excitedly, "Good!" His face with thick eyebrows and big eyes was flushed red with excitement, as if he had drunk alcohol.At this point in the "Battle of Punishing Crimes", the chances of the Han army winning were already very high. However, if the army were to march along the southern route (Nanchang, Hangzhou, and the capital), it would indeed be difficult to encounter strong resistance along the way, but it would take at least half a year! This was also a very unfavorable choice.As Sheng Yong said, the longer the night, the more dreams there are! As time goes by, the great shocking effect of the Huguang Campaign and the earth-shattering situation may gradually ease; the probability of unexpected things happening in the general situation will also increase.Therefore, advancing to the south is definitely not the bes

The people and horses were so numerous that it seemed to occupy the entire road.This team was the officials, palace ladies, and family members of the Han Palace, as well as many guards.

He calls himself Li Yong and says he is the person you sent out to spy on military intelligence." A military general said with a fist salute.The general looked calm, because this was a very ordinary matter. But when Zhang Fu heard this name, his heart immediately tightened!Not long ago, Zhang Fu, in view of the extremely unfavorable situation in the court and the war, finally made up his mind to write a letter of surrender. He mentioned a detail in the letter: if the King of Han wanted to send someone to contact him, he would ask the messenger to call himself Li Yong.This name has a bit of history. To this day, Zhang Fu still believes that the two soldiers around He Fu were spies of the Han Wang Army! Zhang Fu also remembered the name

Jin Zhong, the Minister of War and the Huguang Transport Commissioner, was watching the killing outside the city!Today, the sky in Wuchang Prefecture was gloomy and rainy earlier; now the cold wind blew the dead leaves and debris on the ground all over the sky. This weather was exactly what this bleak and desolate scene should be.A row of prisoners were tied up behind their backs on the parade ground. Among them were the rebel spies who had been caught one after another, the officers and soldiers who had violated military law, and the officials and civilians who had violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

The seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month.It snowed again in the capital. This time the snow was a little heavier than the one at the beginning of the month.

For a moment, the palace seemed to be covered by a layer of white gauze.Emperor Zhu Gaochi still did not attend court, nor did he summon his ministers to discuss matters; however, he had not indulged in lust for nearly half a month.It wasn't that he suddenly came to his senses, but he was just getting bored after playing for so long. Especially after he finished playing once a day, his interest in the beauties in the palace dwindled.This was not the first time he indulged himself; he had done it not long after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne. Although the country was in turmoil at that time, he had been pent up for too long as the crown prince, and he was very willful when he suddenly ascended t

The man who fell to the ground squatted down to check on his poor mount.A warrior in the firelight said, "It's hopeless! The horse can't fall down. Once it falls down, it will never stand up again!"Then someone shouted to the top of the tower, "Imperial edict! An urgent order from the Ministry of War, eight hundred miles away! Quickly lower the hanging basket down."After a while, someone on the tower responded, "I will put a basket down first, and you can send someone up with the military order to check it."After the hanging basket was l
