Chapter 572 Half an Hour
The Chinese New Year has always been of great importance to people all over the world, and people hope that their families can be reunited during this festive period.
Zhu Gaoxu remembered the scene in later generations: when the Chinese New Year came, countless people rushed home from far away, and all the roads were congested; it seemed that nothing had changed from ancient times to the present.
However, on New Year's Eve, Zhu Gaoxu led more than 60,000 land troops and all the navy warships, and went the other way, leaving his family behind and embarking on the expedition! On such a day, Zhu Gaoxu was somewhat reluctant; but in comparison, he still chose the tangible benefits. Perhaps if he had sent troops one day earlier, the situation would have been better for him.
Zhu Gaoxu stood on the wooden stern of a large warship, looking at the countless warships on the river. Looking at the grand scene on the water, he seemed to be filled with a myriad of emotion

The sound of wooden fish continued until late at night, and finally stopped.Monk Qingyuan came in and helped Daoyan to tidy up the inkstone, brush, wooden fish and other items on the table. After a while, someone came out with hot water, and Qingyuan went out to bring it back; he helped Daoyan sit down on a chair and placed a wooden basin at Daoyan's feet.While busying himself, Qingyuan said, "Since the Hongxi period, you have hardly attended court, but have become even more overworked. You are old, you must take care of yourself."Daoyan glanced at the book Dao Yu Lu placed under the cabinet, sighed slightly, and a layer of worry covered his triangular eyes. But he did not answer.Qingyuan held the old monk's legs with both hands and slowly put them into the hot water in the wooden basin. Qingyuan said, "Yao Fang's lover Wang secretly hid poison on h

From New Year's Eve to two days before the Lantern Festival, Zhu Gaoxu and the vanguard soldiers were floating on the water during the entire New Year period.Zhu Gaoxu sat on a pavilion on a large ship, with a large banner on the ship fluttering in the wind. He looked at the south bank of the river on the right, knowing that the land belonged to Zhili.The bulging sails were hung high in the air; below the deck, the wheels of the two waterwheels were turning in the river, and white waves were spinning around the wheels. The soldiers pedaling the waterwheels sang "Yo Hey" in a rhythmic manner. The ship was rising and falling in the waves, sailing very fast along the eastward river.At this moment, the general on the deck shouted, "Taipingzhou City!"Zhu Gaoxu immediately stood up from his chair, walked to the side of the boat, leaned on the wooden railing and looked south. His eyes penetrated the hazy and humid fog of early spring, and he saw a city to

The east bank of the Yangtze River is a flat plain, with fields and magnificent manors everywhere. The royal family, nobles, bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen of the Ming Dynasty had many industries in Zhili.The imperial army's infantry and cavalry were dressed in bright armor and were numerous, marching on several parallel roads from north to south. The scene was extremely spectacular.

On the morning of the 18th day of the first lunar month in the second year of the Hongxi reign, the riverside plains several miles wide west of Hongmu Mountain were covered with damp white fog. In the fog, drums and trumpets sounded, and the horses and men made noises, so it was unclear how many troops the King of Han had."Today's fog came so suddenly!" a general's voice said in the distance. Zhu Gaoxu heard the voice but could not see the man's face clearly.Zhu Gaoxu waited for a while under the central army flag, and then a scout came to report, "Your Majesty, the enemy has broken camp and is marching south!""Message to the entire army, advance slowly and in an orderly manner, advance one and a half miles, and enter the designated battlefield!" Zhu Gaoxu ordered."Yes, sir!"The two camps were five miles apart last night. Because both armies had heavy artillery, it was a more reasonable arrangement to set up their formations about two miles
