2024-08-03 14:45:32The army trudged through the icy and snowy grasslands for nearly two months, from mid-October to the beginning of December, when the army's food and fodder had been used up and more than 200,000 soldiers were exhausted.
At this time, cheers came from the front, and countless people heard the noise and looked around. In the hazy wind and snow, people finally saw the vague shadow of the city tower in the distance.
"Kaiping Wei!" A place name was mixed in the shout.
As the army gradually approached the city, the government troops and soldiers who stayed in the warehouses came to greet them outside the city, beating gongs and drums. It was so lively! In the vast white wilderness, it was like a festival today.
Kaipingwei had a warehouse with stored food. The granary was immediately opened, and soldiers from various camps entered the city to receive food. Smoke from cooking rose from all over the city. The Ming army soldiers, who had eaten so much horse meat

At the end of December, the Ming Emperor personally led the northern expeditionary army into Juyongguan Pass and marched to the southern foot of Jundu Mountain. The Yongle era was completely over, and the first year of Wude was about to begin.The army was stationed near a garrison at the foot of Jundu Mountain. Along the foot of the mountain along the post road, the soldiers opened up a large cemetery; the bodies of the fallen soldiers brought back from the battlefield were buried here one after another.During this festive season, people not only feel the chill of deep winter, but also an inexplicable atmosphere of fear.On the post road at the foot of the mountain, the captured enemy heads were piled up in a new cemetery, which reminded people of the "Jingguan".It is said that in ancient times, cruel monarchs would kill countless people after conquering a place, and pile up the bodies into Jingguan to shock the world. This time, the Ming army place

The army arrived in the capital in late February. Princess Lee Hyun-hye of Joseon remembered that Zhu Gaoxu had told her that it was the most beautiful season in the capital.As the ferry sailed across the vast river, Li Xianhui stood by the railing on the deck, looking at the long city walls, clusters of houses, towering pagodas, and looming towers on the east bank of the river. The vast city was on the other side. The most prosperous capital in the world was getting closer and closer.She completely forgot about the bumps and fatigue along the way, and her heart was filled with inexplicable excitement.The cool breeze on the river surface carried a faint fishy smell. In the distant harbor, a ship as big as a palace floated, and the sound of copper bells could be heard faintly. The dock on the other side was full of people. In addition to the crowd waiting there to welcome the emperor, there were also many porters, merchants and pedestrians carrying things.

The Daming Palace in the evening was very beautiful. The eaves of the palace were shimmering with dreamy light, and the lacquer paintings on the side facing the setting sun became more vivid; and from a certain angle, the elegant shapes of other pavilions and towers had become hazy, and the shadows highlighted their outlines, which aroused people's reverie.Perhaps because this is a completely unfamiliar place thousands of miles away from home, even though it is so peaceful and comfortable, Li Xianhui still feels a little uneasy. From time to time, she looked at the brick road outside the palace gate, as if expecting something.Mrs. Park, who has a pair of double eyelids and almond-shaped eyes, said in familiar Korean dialect, "My wife won't be able to see the Holy One tonight, and I won't see him in the next few days."Li Xianhui's eyes suddenly flickered as her thoughts were revealed. She subconsciously refused to admit it, "No...I wasn't thinking about th

The emperor had just returned to Beijing yesterday, and today he held a banquet in Fengtian Hall to celebrate the meritorious soldiers in the Northern Expedition. The palace was busier than usual. But at this time, the queen actually came to the courtyard south of the Imperial Garden to visit Guo Yan.The queen exchanged a few words in the living room and then handed a letter to Guo Yan.At this time, Guo Yan had just read the contents of the letter. The letter was written by their father, Guo Ming, Marquis of Wuding: Guo Ming requested an order to send Guo Yan to live in Fengyang!Guo Yan knew exactly what it meant once a member of the royal family was sent to Zhongdu. He will probably be completely abandoned and forgotten by the world, and live a secluded life. Of course, most of the time there will be a very grand rhetoric, which is called etiquette, law and morality.In an instant, Guo Yan seemed to hear a "buzz" and her mind went blank.Afte

After the Ming Emperor returned to Beijing, he probably would not summon Chen in a short time. But the day after he returned to Beijing, he did go to Rouyi Hall to work, and Queen Chen of Annan lived here.Many people wanted to meet the emperor immediately. The empress and concubines wanted his care. The ministers needed to see him and let him decide their opinions. The envoys from foreign countries also wanted to see him as soon as possible because they knew that the emperor's words were the most effective. However, Chen had lived in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and even she herself felt that Zhu Gaoxu did not need to rush to see her.So she knew that Zhu Gaoxu was very close, but she couldn't get close to him.She could only sit in the hall at the back of the palace and read sometimes, but would soon stand up and pretend nothing had happened at the door, looking towards the main hall to the south.Chen had no urgent business to attend to, and sh

Zhu Gaoxu stopped persuading, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea. At this time, he paid attention to Chen's face and eyes, and he immediately realized that his long speech seemed to be in vain.Because he had long seen that Chen had already been loyal to the Ming Dynasty; and her son had also been learning Chinese since he could read. This was probably one of the reasons why Zhu Gaoxu insisted on supporting this queen.(During the Yongle reign, the Ming army marched into Annan on a large scale, costing countless lives and military supplies. Although Zhu Gaoxu had always disapproved of the court's immediate direct rule over Annan, because he believed that since the Song Dynasty, Annan had gradually developed its own civilization and identity, and it would not be easy to re-sinicize; but since the Ming Dynasty had invested so much, he did not want the rulers of Annan to hate and reject the Ming Dynasty, causing the court to lose all its money.)

The sky was clear in the morning. Zhu Gaoxu did not go to the north of the imperial city or attend the court. He went straight to the Rouyi Palace to work. During the northern expedition, there were many government affairs that Zhu Gaoxu did not ask about; at this time, he wanted to take a general look at the files to understand the government affairs recorded by the cabinet over the past few months.The eunuch on duty today to serve Zhu Gaoxu was Hou Xian, the junior eunuch of the Imperial Household Department. He was a eunuch with clear facial features and a square appearance.As soon as Zhu Gaoxu entered the Rouyi Palace, he looked into the backyard. But Hou Xian was not Cao Fu, and he didn't seem to know much about some things. Hou Xian brought a few eunuchs and delivered the latest memorials.Since the stack of memorials had already been placed on the table, Zhu Gaoxu planned to take a quick look at them and then send them to the Wuying Palace in the no

Before noon, Zhu Gaoxu stayed in Rouyi Palace without going out. During this time, he did not see Queen Chen of Annan again.Zhu Gaoxu spent the entire morning reading recent memorials, but he did not review most of them. Instead, he handed them over to the cabinet for processing; even so, it took half a day.There was another memorial from a foreign envoy that caught Zhu Gaoxu's attention. The funeral document sent by the Japanese envoy was signed by "Prince Minamoto Yoshimochi of Japan" and reported the death of his father Minamoto Yoshimitsu.Minamoto no Yoshimitsu (Ashikaga Yoshimitsu) once accepted the title of "King of Japan" from Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty and conducted Kango trade with the Ming Dynasty by paying tribute.(Zhu Gaoxu understood the so-called Kange trade as a kind of official trade with political overtones. Japan sent envoys and merchants to the capital to pay tribute, and the court granted the merchants the goods they ne

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.

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
Game of the Throne Chapter 1062 Chicken with Rice
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." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
