Chapter 746: The Dream of the Jinling Empire
"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,

It was already the end of November when Liu Sheng's victory report reached Dongguan (Hanoi).Dongguan City was decorated with lanterns and full of joy. Those who celebrated included not only the civil and military officials sent by the Ming Dynasty, but also many Annan people.Among them were the surviving wealthy families after the fall of the Hu family, the clan nobles who had taken refuge with Chen Zhengyuan's family, and the Annan people such as Ruan Gonggui and Ruan Zhi who had long since defected to the Ming Dynasty. These people wished that Chen Jikuan would be finished soon. Otherwise, if the Annan rebels gain power, they will be the ones to be liquidated; everything they gained in the past few years will of course be in vain.Zhang Fujun had long since eliminated all the enemy troops on the plains, that is, the rebels in the Yellow River Basin. He has now returned to the "Annan Governor's Mansion" in Dongguan City.At this time, there were sti

The news of the great victory in suppressing the rebellion in Annan was sent to the capital by express horses, but the emperor and his ministers were not happy at this time, because just a few days ago, an unprecedented earthquake occurred in the capital, followed by several aftershocks.The Imperial Astronomical Observatory, which copied Zhang Heng's seismograph based on records in ancient books, failed to predict the earthquake. After the earthquake, many houses collapsed in the capital, and the city was in panic and chaos. Countless people died without knowing it. The capital of the Ming Dynasty, which was gradually becoming peaceful, suddenly suffered a heavy blow.Under the advice of his ministers, Zhu Gaoxu was forced to publicly admit that he had recently neglected rituals and sacrifices, and promised to follow the rules, fear God, be strict in governing officials, eliminate bad policies, etc., in order to appease God's anger.Although Zhu Gaoxu had a

In the twelfth month of the first year of Wude, Zhu Gaoxu issued an edict to cancel all banquets, weddings, and singing and dancing performances until the eve of the Lantern Festival of the following year; and it was scheduled that in the first month of the second year of Wude, the combined sacrificial ceremony (praying for blessings in all four seasons, four sacrifices to heaven and earth combined into one) would be held in the southern suburbs.He also resumed the daily morning court session, showing an attitude of following the rules and catering to the will of heaven. This "active response to the wrath of heaven" satisfied both civil and military officials. The morning court session had been frequently cancelled since Emperor Taizong, and Zhu Gaoxu naturally did not hold it for several months during the Northern Expedition.A few days later, an impeachment memorial from Hu Guang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, finally arrived.Hu Guang wrote a letter t

This year’s Chinese New Year in the capital will be quieter than in previous years. Without fireworks, people can't celebrate, they can only offer sacrifices and reunite. However, it can be expected that the Lantern Festival in half a month will be unprecedentedly lively. After all, there are too many disasters in the world, and people cannot remain in pain.During the festival, all offices from the imperial court to the various government offices stopped working. Zhu Gaoxu no longer had to review memorials or attend morning court.Therefore, during this period, he spent a lot of time with Miao Jin, and the two often stayed in Rouyi Palace. Other people in the harem had some complaints about this, so Zhu Gaoxu had to say that Miao Jin was writing a book for him, which was a little bit of an explanation.Under the huge wooden beams of Rouyi Palace, the room with bookshelves lined along the walls still looks a bit empty.However, Zhu Gaoxu had studied he

"Bang!" The first fireworks bloomed over Chang'an Street at the foot of the Imperial City, marking the beginning of the joyful night of the Lantern Festival in the second year of Wude.The imperial palace supervisors and the Jinyiwei set up a throne on the Hongwu Gate, and placed all kinds of snacks, sweet soups, and fine wine. Zhu Gaoxu brought the empress and concubines here, and they first enjoyed the fireworks and lights before returning to the palace to celebrate. The palace had also been newly decorated, and the concubines and maids could guess lantern riddles, play various games, and even gamble, and they could also watch singing and dancing, shadow play and other performances.However, although the lights are beautiful, the most beautiful thing is the people.Every time fireworks lit up the sky, under the colorful light, the gorgeous faces around the emperor would be reflected, each more beautiful than the other, vying for beauty.The person cl
