Among all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty at this time, Liu Sheng was undoubtedly the most handsome general.

He was over 30 years old, tall, with a broad back and a symmetrical face. His skin was naturally light in color, and compared to most of the warriors in the army, he looked cleaner and tidier. Because he was born with a handsome appearance, Liu Sheng also paid attention to his words and deeds, and had a somewhat elegant temperament.

Under Liu Sheng's humble appearance, one could always sense a kind of restrained arrogance. Occasionally, he would speak a few literary words or express some truths in front of the soldiers, which made everyone half understand and only feel that he was unfathomable.

Now he was standing on a sand boat, gazing at the heaving sea, his crimson cloak fluttering in the wind.

The sea route from the mouth of Songtai River (near today's Haiphong City) to the mouth of Majiang River in Thanh Hoa Prefecture is about 300 miles, an

    The Ming army Liu Sheng's troops arrived at the mouth of the Majiang River by boat and arrived at the city of Thanh Hoa soon! When the news reached Thanh Hoa, it immediately shocked the government and the public.The defeat of General Nguyen, the Grand Tutor of Dai Viet, had already caused panic among the people. General Nguyen, who claimed to have an army of 500,000, was defeated in the attack on the Ming reinforcements and the military camp defense battle within half a day, and then lost the Beijiang Prefecture. Nguyen Jian, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, rushed back to Thanh Hoa and informed Chen Jikuo of the details, and Chen Jikuo was extremely panicked.Suddenly, there was news about Liu Shengjun, which was like adding insult to injury.The entire "imperial capital" of Thanh Hoa was in turmoil because Chen Jikuo decided to leave Thanh Hoa that day and retreat to his hometown of Nghe An. The defense of Thanh Hoa would be handed over to t

    Thanh Hoa City, the second largest city in Annan, is second only to Dongguan (Hanoi), but it is still far from being comparable to the important cities in the Ming Dynasty . This is an ancient city, with moss-covered bricks on the walls, as if telling its heritage.In early October, Liu Sheng led more than 20,000 troops of the government army and stationed them on the banks of the Majiang River and east of Thanh Hoa City.Liu Sheng was riding a horse, more than a hundred steps away from the city wall, looking at the city in front. A few arrows were thrown from the air from time to time, making the guards and soldiers very nervous, fearing that the commander would make a mistake. Liu Sheng, however, looked calm as he listened to the military intelligence report from the scout general who had just arrived."On the day we arrived at Majiangkou, Chen Jikkuo's men went south. The latest detection report was at noon today. Careful inspection found that Chen Jikkuo

    "Bang, bang, bang!" There was a sound of gongs and drums on the streets of Thanh Hoa City. Several officials and a group of soldiers were beating gongs and shouting loudly in Chinese and Annan."The Ming Empire and the vassal state of Annan are friendly and family. The rebel Chen Jikuan falsely claimed to be a member of the Chen clan and started a rebellion that harmed the local area. The Ming royal army went to fight him, which was in line with the great righteousness and orthodoxy. The legitimate king of the Chen clan has returned to Annan, and with the help of the Ming army, he has put down the rebellion and benefited the people. He has restored the Chen royal lineage and allowed the people to live and work in peace. The army entered the city without harming anyone, and posted notices to keep the people safe at the government office and the city gates.""The government troops protect those who abide by the law and protect the good. Those who take advantage of t

    The turbulent day had come to an end, and the night outside was gradually falling. The lanterns under the eaves and the oil lamps lit in the rooms made the houses in the government office in Thanh Hoa City look very old. Suddenly, Ruan found that the world had become quiet without her knowing when.Liu Sheng's voice said, "I ordered the release of Ruan Jian's family for a reason. But it was not because of my lust for Madam's beauty, but because of my own knot in my heart."His expression quickly dimmed, and he sighed, "During the 'Clash of Crimes', I led my army to surrender to the current emperor, and my family was killed by the deposed prince and his gang..."When Ruan heard this, her doubts were immediately resolved. She couldn't help but secretly look at Liu Sheng, and felt that this handsome noble from the Ming Kingdom was not as scary as the rumors said. She almost immediately believed that Liu Sheng was not a bad person and would not hurt her.S

    "Capture Nghe An within half a month! Wipe out all the rebels and capture the rebel leader Chen Jikuan." Liu Sheng gave orders to the generals around him, and his attitude was very serious.All the generals clasped their fists and accepted the order, and everyone was excited.Liu Sheng did not make such a decision impulsively. The Ming army had been stationed in Thanh Hoa City for three days and Liu Sheng had called the civil and military officials to discuss matters several times, but he had never discussed the deadline for the attack. It was not until today that he learned that Chen Jikuo's troops had continued southward to Nghe An (Vinh City) after reaching Yanzhou (Huangmei) that he was full of confidence in the time.The entire journey from Thanh Hoa to Yen Chau and then to Nghe An is about 300 li. If it was just a march, the Ming army, with infantry, cavalry and baggage, could reach Nghe An within seven days; but because there was Yen Chau on the way a

    Liu Sheng's troops of the Ming army were advancing towards Yanzhou. The "Dai Viet" Emperor Chen Jikuan had already left Yanzhou and led his troops to continue advancing towards Nghe An.Nguyen Cang Yi, who was stationed in Thanh Hoa before, was a great general and had a high rank in the imperial court. However, even a great general like Nguyen Cang Yi, who defended the important city of Thanh Hoa, was defeated after several days. Chen Jikuo and others had realized that Liu Sheng's army was very powerful, so they decisively gave up Yanzhou, where the city walls were weak.However, at this time, Wang Lili, the pacification king, and Ruan Jian, the minister of war, had not yet left Yanzhou.Ruan Jian's family arrived in Yanzhou. After meeting Ruan Jian, they temporarily settled down in Yanzhou City.The family was very lucky on their way to escape from Thanh Hoa, and they did not encounter bandits or enemy troops. They finally arrived safely, and everyone

    The next morning, Le Loi and Nguyen Chien left Yanzhou on horseback and came to the bank of a river called Songlai River, which is located in the north of Yanzhou City, only a few dozen miles away.They were accompanied by a team of guards, but only Ruan Jian and the other two looked very tired. It was because they had slept too little after their candlelight conversation last night.The team crossed the Songlai River via a bamboo and wood arch bridge. They ran north along the road for a while and soon saw a military camp built in the mountains.Nguyen Chien followed Le Loi and led his horse up the hill, and saw fences, earthen walls, and some huts in the bushes. The soldiers inside came to pay homage to Le Loi, and they seemed to be Le Loi's subordinates. But there were not many soldiers stationed here, perhaps only more than a hundred people.Several people walked out of the military camp and came to a stand near the hillside, which was a piece of he

    "Da da da..." A sound of horse hooves came from the north. A rider ran towards Liu Sheng's flag and shouted, "Report!"Liu Sheng on the other side turned around, and without waiting for the knight to come closer, his eyes immediately turned to a woman behind him.The woman following on horseback was none other than Ruan, and there were two Ming army knights behind and behind her. Mrs. Ruan had already taken off the bamboo hat on her head, and she said in Chinese with a not quite standard tone, "General Liu knows me and I didn't lie to you."The knight who went to report the news had already arrived next to Liu Sheng, where he was saying something and turning to point at Ruan. Liu Sheng's eyes had already been cast on Ruan, and he did not look at the sergeant in front of him.Ruan didn't say much anymore. Since Liu Sheng saw her, he would definitely meet her.But at this time, Ruan became even more nervous. She felt as if her heart was twitching,

    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." 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
