On both sides of the Yang River, there was a vast plain. Between the ridges of the fields, people, horses, mule carts, and wheelbarrows formed long lines, and among the people, swords and guns stood in rows, and flags fluttered in the wind.

Parallel teams were marching westwards, stretching out from north to south. If people looked ahead, they could see endless long dragons, moving in the sunlight. There were also war horses running back and forth between the teams, raising clouds of smoke.

The virtuous lady Li, sitting in a carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain on the left. What came into view was the shadows of the mountains in the distance to the south, which were like dark clouds pressing down on the horizon. Then she saw some cattle and sheep moving along the river on the grass by the river.

The eunuch Cao Fu was riding a horse beside her, so the virtuous princess asked in Chinese, "Eunuch Cao, have we reached the Mongolian steppes?"

"It's earl

    The next morning, nearly 300,000 soldiers and able-bodied men of the Ming army set out for the northern expedition. Amid the sound of trumpets, the vast land between the Yanghe River and the Qingshui River was filled with people and horses, like a sea of people.The red morning sun hung in the sky, while the earth was sprinkled with yellow sunlight. Under the slanting sunlight, the colors of everything were very saturated, and the soldiers seemed to be covered with a layer of orange-yellow paint.Countless helmets were surging, and many wide-brimmed iron helmets were seen, which were different from the troops on the northern frontier. Because more than half of the troops were mobilized from the capital, and the south was rainy, the helmets were all wide-brimmed.The sound of horse hooves and loud footsteps mixed together, and a thick "rumbling" noise resounded between heaven and earth."Swoosh!" A loud eagle cry was heard in the air.Zhu Gaoxu, h

    Huang Yan and his group headed north across a desert, and soon they saw an endless grassland.Between the grasslands, a winding river several dozen steps wide flows into Bui Er Hai (Lake Beier). On both sides of the river, there are large tracts of reeds, and the snow-white reed flowers dance up and down in the wind. Cows, sheep, horsemen, and tents gradually come into view.Suddenly, Huang Yan saw two teams of horsemen in the distance, encircling this side!"What do they want to do?!" Huang Yan asked hurriedly.The Wuliangha people gestured downward with their palms, "Don't worry, Eunuch Huang. The leaders in the Hulun River area have all received benefits from me. Tuotuo also knows some people. Once they know that Tuotuo is under Arutai's command, they will not dare to do anything!"Huang Yan nervously watched the troops on the grassland. Seeing that they were all carrying bows and arrows, his face turned pale with panic.The Wuliangha pe

    Zhu Gaoxu galloped to the edge of a lava platform and looked into the distance. A gray city appeared near the river bend.Kaipingwei! This city was originally the Shangdu (Xilinguole League) of the Yuan Dynasty. It was once a big city, but now it has declined beyond recognition. The city now sits alone on the earth.From Xinghe Qianhu Suo (Zhangbei County, Zhangjiakou) to Kaipingwei, the distance is more than 800 miles from north to south and even wider from east to west, with only two post stations along the way. The court's control over this area can only be regarded as better than nothing.The Ming army took about 20 days to travel the 800-li route. They encountered no enemy forces along the way, and even saw few people. Suddenly, the soldiers saw the city and shouted excitedly from far and near.Zhu Gaoxu turned his horse around, took a detour back to the post road, and then followed the army and continued marching towards Kaiping Weicheng.T

    From late August to early September, the Ming army of 250,000 infantry and cavalry and tens of thousands of able-bodied men were divided into eight armies, maintaining a formation that could reinforce each other and marching all the time. The army had already entered the area where the Tatars often moved.There were no more cities or villages along the way, let alone government post stations. It was a desolate place. The combined population of all the people within a radius of hundreds of miles should not be as large as the number of the Ming army.It rarely rains on the grasslands at this time of year, so with so many people on the march, they must take roads with sufficient water sources. In addition to rivers, Zhu Gaoxu would occasionally see lakes, all of which were named Naoer, because it was a name first given by the Mongols and translated from the phonetic notation.Around the "Nar" in front, thick smoke and flickering flames were billowing.

    "Phew!" A high-pitched eagle call sounded in the air. The very strong Ping An raised his head, his eyes chasing the hovering sea turtle in the sky.The grassland was too monotonous. Suddenly there was something strange. The attention of many soldiers around was attracted, and many people looked up at the sky. But it was of no use. No one in the Ming army could understand the language of the eagle.After a while, the falconer came over on horseback and said, "Commander, there seems to be enemy troops in the northwest!""Distance, number of people." Ping An said immediately.The surrounding soldiers started to make a noise, and they all looked very happy. Damn it, he has walked so far without seeing the shadow of the enemy, and now he can finally fight! Everyone is looking forward to it and are ready to have a big fight!At this time, the falconer looked embarrassed and confused, obviously he didn't know. Ping An also noticed that the falconer just

    The baggage train of the Ming army's vanguard was two miles to the south and had not received any orders to form a battle array in advance.The human-powered Wugang carts were still arranged in a long snake-like formation, with some mule carts and wheelbarrows among them; until just now, no one had made any move because the order from the superiors was to maintain the formation.The baggage soldiers had to temporarily adjust their direction on the spot, pointing the end with the sharp blade and the baffle to the northwest, and keeping alert on the spot.In the distance, there was smoke billowing, the sound of horses’ hooves roaring, and shouts deafening.Most of the baggage soldiers were dressed in gray uniforms, without any armor on their bodies. Their only protection was the iron helmets on their heads. Some soldiers drew their swords and stared at the direction of the roar of horse hooves; some soldiers held their muskets and watched, and some were

    The grassland was gray, the noise was deafening, and there were people shouting loudly all around. At this time, Ping An vaguely saw a Tatar who was better dressed than others. He wore an iron helmet without a brim and a white fur collar.The figure flashed by and was soon obscured by the chaotic cavalry and rising dust.Ping An instinctively knew that this must be a Tatar of status! Without hesitation, he raised the bloody iron axe and shouted, "Kill!" He led the elite cavalry and rushed over there.A group of elite Ming cavalrymen rushed forward! An unlucky Tatar didn't escape and ran into Ping An. Ping An raised his axe and knocked him and his horse to the ground. After a while, he saw the Tatar in bright armor again. He saw that guy was running on his horse, turning his head and waving his scimitar and shouting."Gee!" Ping An kicked the horse's belly twice and rushed forward at an accelerated speed.The Tatar also discovered Ping An's cavalr

    Outside the tent, the night has quietly begun.Zhu Gaoxu soon tended to adopt Qu Neng's strategy; he was unwilling to give up his fighter plane! As long as he observed the emotions of the generals around him and their eagerness to fight, Zhu Gaoxu could not ignore them. What's more, he believes that the chance is not small.But this battle is still quite risky. Even if he becomes the emperor, it is difficult for him to be sure of the things he faces."Ahem..." Zhu Gaoxu didn't speak for a long time and suddenly cleared his throat. In an instant, the eyes of almost all the generals were focused on his face, full of expectation.Zhu Gaoxu held back for a moment and said, "Before the morning of tomorrow, all generals, please come to this tent and wait for military orders."The generals could only clasp their fists and say, "We obey your order."Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and said, "You all should return to the camp.

    The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp

    There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h

    Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during

    Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und

    The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm

    This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p

    After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which

    The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.

    The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay."
