In the heavy rain, the quaint buildings of the Annan Governor's Mansion became hazy, and the water on the brick floor began to flow in all directions. Chen Xianzhen, who was holding a green umbrella, had his shoes soaked through.
Chen Xianzhen looked at the door in front and couldn't help but stand there. She stood in the noisy rain for a while, then took steps towards the door in the distance.
On the small bench in the porter's room, a person from the Ming Dynasty's imperial robes is said to be called a sitting recorder. In addition to the generals under Zhang Fu, there should be many civilian officials in the courtyard.
"Stop, what are you doing?" the guard said.
Chen Xianzhen immediately started shouting, excitedly announced his name, and also mentioned the Queen Mother Chen and others.
The guards did not allow her to enter, but immediately asked someone to run in and report. After a while, some military generals and civil servants came to the
This villa was the house of a minister of the Kingdom of Java (i.e. the Kingdom of Majapahit), located on a hillside. The Javanese king and his entourage bypassed a forest and expanded their sight to the distance, and were immediately shocked by the scene of Kediri Port on the banks of the Brantas River.(Kediri Port is probably in Surabaya, the second largest city in Indonesia today.)The sea surface in the harbor is already filled with large fleets of ships; from a distance, it looks like migrating white cranes have filled a small pond.The king, who had been heartbroken about the gold, changed his mind less than half an incense stick later and said, "If the Ming people only want gold, we may still be able to negotiate."The envoy of Malacca (Sultanate of Malacca) warned, "The people of the Ming Dynasty have shown their greedy nature. Your Majesty's concession will only make them push forward."At this time, the Javanese monarchs and ministers
At the turn of spring and summer, it is the season of green, fat, red and thin, and the scene of the Ming Dynasty capital is full of lush vegetation and vitality.There are only a few trees next to the inclined corridor outside Qianqing Palace, which also attracts birds to stay, and they "chirp" among the branches and leaves. Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, heard the chirping of birds and had the illusion that he "didn't feel like he was living in a densely populated imperial city".He soon became a little irritated by the chirping of birds, because the eunuch Cao Fu came in to report the matter and mentioned that Chen Xianzhen was about to enter Beijing with Hou Hai, Pei Youzhen, Liu Ming and others.Cao Fu narrated for a while and then said, "My servant asked Zhang Sheng, and the accompanying Jin Yiwei reported that this matter was the intention of Xincheng Hou Zhang Fu.""I know." Zhu Gaoxu said.Zhu Gaoxu has known Zhang
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that he was a little cruel.But he still couldn't help it, turned his head to look at the curtain in front of the ear room door, and said, "General Ruan, come out."When Chen Xianzhen heard this, his face suddenly changed, and his expression seemed to be frozen on his face. Various emotions such as shock, worry, and luck seemed to be intertwined and changed subtly with extremely subtle amplitudes that were difficult to detect.There was a dead silence in the room, and the curtains hung there quietly, without any movement. Chen Xianzhen followed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze and looked towards the ear room. She seemed to have held her breath.After a long while, Ruan Jingyi finally opened the curtain and quietly walked out of the ear room. When Chen Xianzhen saw that "General Ruan" was indeed Ruan Jingyi, her cheeks twitched slightly.Eunuch Cao Fu and Zhu Gaoxu remained silent.Zhu Gaoxu just observed silently, as if the Taoist p
In such a good season, the spring ploughing has passed and the summer busy season has not yet arrived, the weather is warm and sunny. It is not too much for the emperor and empress, who are role models for the world, to occasionally come to the old palace of the King of Han and have some leisure time.The royal family members played in the back garden for a while, and then came to the theater. After a rest with some tea, they could enjoy the opera prepared by the Jiaofangsi.Zhu Gaoxu also came over. He was sitting in an upper room with Guo Wei. The concubines were also in other rooms of the theater, waiting on them. But Zhu Gaoxu was a little distracted, and couldn't help but still thinking about what happened between Chen Xianzhen and Ruan Jingyi.The two men sat on the armchair, separated by a small wooden coffee table; the eunuch Cao Fu had already returned, and the other eunuchs standing by were Huang Gou.At this time, Guo Wei asked carefully and
That day in the old mansion, after Zhu Gaoxu met Ruan Jingyi and Chen Xianzhen, it was two days before he asked about Ruan Jingyi's recent situation.At this time, there were two people around Zhu Gaoxu in the East Warm Pavilion, one was the eunuch Cao Fu who was reporting the news, and the other was the virtuous concubine Yao Ji. Yao Ji was asked by Zhu Gaoxu to come to the East Warm Pavilion to serve Wen Mo.It is said that after Yao Ji's elder brother Yao Fang gave the book "Collection of Science Translations of Various Countries" to the Shouyu Sinan Office, some officials respectfully called Yao Fang Mr. Yao when they saw him; he transformed from a mere warrior into a learned man, and some literati even suggested that he build an academy to give lectures, perhaps he could establish a school and become famous. The literati took Neo-Confucianism as their foundation, but there were always scholars who would not reject new knowledge.In the East Warm Pavilio
The Ming fleet has arrived at Tsushima Island, consisting of more than 20 warships of various sizes. In addition to the 15 Ming warships, there are also some Korean ships accompanying them.Two 2,000-ton treasure ships in the navy floated on the narrow sea of the "front port" of Tsushima Port. Their scale was extremely shocking, like two cities floating on the water.The treasure ship "Yin" was the flagship of the fleet. The chief envoy, the eunuch Zhou Quan, the commander of the land army, Wan Liang, as well as the Jinshi civil officials of the Beijing Xingren Division and the military generals of the Jinyiwei were all on this ship, in addition to more than 200 officers and soldiers of the land army.Wan Liang was not in charge of commanding the naval battle. When he walked to the deck of the bow and looked at the sea surface of the harbor, the naval battle in front had already started. He heard that the Ming army's vanguard warships suddenly appeared in th
Whenever the Ming army went on a campaign, they always emphasized the importance of legitimacy. So Qian Hu Wan Liang led 300 infantry and cavalry to the front of Zong's fortress , and ordered his men to tie documents to arrows and shoot them into the city with his divine arm.The official documents were written on silk by officials from the Ministry of Travel, and a copy was also made.The article pointed out that the guardian daimyo of Tsushima Island was unjust and had long been sheltering the Japanese pirates and doing illegal things. It stated that since the Hongwu period, the Ming court had submitted letters to the Japanese shogunate many times to ban the Japanese pirates, but the Japanese shogunate ignored them or pretended to be compliant. This time, the Ming government army was "forced" to send troops to attack.The official document also made a suggestion at the end, requiring Souji to lead his troops out of the city and surrender, in which case he
The remnants of the enemy army finally retreated, and the remaining few foot soldiers fled into the ruins.The Ming army's vanguard was also in a state of confusion. Some people took the opportunity to catch their breath. Before they could straighten out their ranks, a group of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared next to the broken wall in front of them. Someone shouted, "Chicken House!" A group of short people started to charge forward, screaming wildly.At this time, the sound of brass instruments rang out from behind, and someone shouted, "Wan Qian Hu Ling, the vanguard team retreat!""Retreat!" the general in the crowd shouted, and everyone immediately gave up fighting in formation and turned around and retreated. The two sergeants who were supporting the wounded soldier glanced at the musketry team behind them and hurriedly dragged the wounded soldier to the side of the pile of earth and rocks to avoid it.The Japanese troops swarmed in, and almos
