The eunuchs and Jinyiwei soldiers surrounded the imperial carriage and drove it to Waiwulong Bridge. When the carriage stopped for a while, Pei Youzhen got off.
As soon as the team passed the Wulong Bridge, they looked towards Chengtian Gate. Pei Youzhen didn't need to go to the palace at this time, so it was appropriate for him to say goodbye to the emperor here.
The imperial carriage started moving again, and Pei Youzhen stood by the road, bowing to the carriage. He found that many of the civil and military eunuchs who accompanied him all looked at him strangely. No matter what their mood was, they were all paying attention to Pei Youzhen; after all, he had just been riding with the emperor.
He was a plain-looking man who looked like a farmer. He once taught illiterate warriors to read and write in the Han Palace. How could he have imagined that he would have the honor and status he has today?
Pei Youzhen was distracted for a moment, but soon came to
The huge fleet carrying more than 23,000 land army soldiers, weapons, ammunition and supplies had set out on time from various ports at the end of February. The fleet had hundreds of ships of various sizes, including dozens of treasure ships carrying thousands of people and equipped with thousands of kilograms of "Tian" Hanwang cannon.All ships will be assembled on the sea surface along the east coast, and then divided into five armies, commanded by Admiral Chen Xuan. Next, the army will move slowly along the coast, waiting for the monsoon to be smooth, and then leave the coast and go to Busan Town in Korea and Hakata Bay in Japan.By then, officials and civilians along the eastern coast of the Ming Dynasty will be able to witness the large ships drifting on the sea and feel the grandeur of the government army's naval power.In the early fifteenth century, no country or military alliance in the world had such a large navy and the ability to deploy more than
There is light wind and fog on the northwest sea surface of Hakata Bay.In the early morning, before the sun came out, the gray sea was covered with white mist, like clouds floating on the sea. A Japanese warship was moving slowly on the water with its sails spread.At this moment, a clang sound came from the bow, and a sailor holding a black bowl dropped it on the ground, staring ahead in amazement. Several people were attracted and turned to look.Two huge black shadows as big as cities slowly emerged from the fog, like some strange beasts emerging from the fog. After a while, more shadows emerged from the fog. People who saw this scene were stunned for a while.Finally, a loud shout was heard from the boat, "Let me touch the chicken!" Then the sound of gongs rang out, and the whole boat was in a state of bustle and noise. The leader on the boat waved his fan and kept giving orders, asking everyone to row immediately.The wooden boat quickly be
Waves rushed onto the beach one after another, washing away gravel, broken fish bones and shells on the sand. This is the western part of Hakata Port, the sea is shallow, and there is no decent pier nearby, so it is not an ideal landing place.However, at this time, the sea was already filled with an endless fleet of ships, and many sand ships also ran aground on the beach. The officers and soldiers of the Ming Army Army were still landing one after another. The coast was busy, with all kinds of baggage and supplies everywhere, and the places where the military camps and walls were built were also filled with dust.After the general landed safely, he felt a little dizzy. He rubbed his temples while looking at a map in his hand."Do you think this picture might be drawn wrong?" Ping An asked without raising his head.Pei Youzhen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, who was standing beside him, said cautiously, "It's roughly the same, it shoul
The dry land along the riverbank was in chaos, with galloping horses and chaotic crowds everywhere. The huge noise made it seem as if everyone was shouting.Every time the heavy iron hooves stepped on the ground, they made a thrilling thumping sound. In the eyes of the Japanese soldiers, Mongolian and Tibetan horses were considered tall and strong horses. The people on horseback were all wearing iron armor, which looked extremely strong and terrifying. Groups of horses rushed in columns from all directions."Oh..." A warrior roared in a rhythmic manner, holding a Japanese sword in both hands, staring at the several riders who were charging at him. He stared with wide eyes and clenched his teeth, as if he had made up his mind to die. In the blink of an eye, the warhorse had rushed to the front, and a huge black shadow blocked the sky in front. The warrior swung the Japanese sword, but his body dodged uncontrollably. When he regained his senses, the sword flashed, a
At dusk, in the Ming army camp on the seaside, Sheng Yong had received two reports from the Western Front.When Ping'an led more than 300 cavalry to suddenly turn around and head east, to the south of Bofu Mountain, which the Ming army had not yet controlled, and to penetrate deeply into the mountain alone, most of the generals felt that it was a waste of time. Everyone said a few words in front of Sheng Yong.When Sheng Yong and Ping An talked face to face, they probably had nothing good to say. But behind his back, Sheng Yong hardly said anything about Ping An, and sometimes he even seemed to be protecting Ping An.At this time, Sheng Yong seemed to be talking to himself, "We have just arrived, and we don't know much about the enemy's deployment. The enemy has not guessed the specific place where we will land, and they probably haven't made much preparation." Good. Peace gives no respite at all.”The civil and military officials in the big tent were
“It is rare to see cherry blossoms in full bloom, and those who see them will only miss them when the flowers fall.” Ouchi Morimitsu looked up at the cherry trees in the courtyard and couldn't help but recite a line of poetry.The flowers on the treetops are broken, with scattered petals floating in the air, and only the ground is covered with withered cherry blossoms. The flowering period of cherry blossoms is very short, and when people see them withering, they can't help but suddenly remember that they saw them in full bloom as if it was only yesterday.Under the cherry tree not far away, several warriors in full armor stood, holding the handles of their Japanese swords, looking eagerly at Ouchi Morimitsu, with anxious expressions on their faces. Those warriors were obviously not in the mood to look at the cherry blossoms like Ouchi Morimitsu.Ouchi Morimi was not necessarily calm in his heart, otherwise he would not have subconsciously chanted such a poe
The Ming army's cavalry estimated that the Bofu Mountain extended about 20 miles from north to south and about 10 miles from east to west. To the south of Bofu Mountain was an even larger mountain range. The terrain of such a large mountain forest was steep and complex, and a large number of troops were absolutely unwilling to enter the mountain unless they had no choice.The main force of the Ming army, Sheng Yong's army, had about three infantry battalions and 17,800 men. They set out from the coastal camp in the north and marched roughly southward. In the afternoon, they approached the mouth of the valley at the southern foot of Mount Bofu. The march distance that day was about 30 miles.Compared with the Xiashanmen passage on the north side with high ground, woods and defensive fortifications, Sheng Yong naturally chose to take a detour with his main force and attack the Japanese army from the southern valley.Ping An's cavalry battalion had already reac
On the gray right wing of the Ming army, the dust trampled by the soldiers and horses mixed with the damp morning mist. Three balls of fire flashed one after another, like lightning in the clouds.Then the sound of "boom boom boom" was heard. In the Japanese army's formation about a mile away, a muffled sound was heard in a rice field, and water splashed up. Where the rice was overturned, a shell sank deeply into the mud.In the blink of an eye, a cloud of dust rose from the open space between the Japanese army's positions. A black round iron ball rolled on the ground, and when people saw it, it was already far away from where it had just landed.Almost at the same time, a violent "crackling" sound suddenly rang out from another place, followed by a terrifying scream. People nearby looked around and saw no shells, but the two rows of chevaux de frise in front of the formation had been damaged into a gap, and several bamboo and wooden fences behind them had a
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
