Chapter 889: Masts and Sails Reduced to Ashes
The waters in the bay were very wide. The depth of the coalition army and the warships in the rear had turned southwest and retreated towards the exit of Saigon Bay.
The Ming army's treasure ships and warships formed two columns, shuttling through the enemy's formation; the two armies maintained the same course, with little difference in speed. Two long dragons of white smoke clearly distinguished the Ming army's fleet.
The sound of cannons on the water almost never stopped, and warships near and far were firing cannons one after another. The clear sea and sky seemed to be shrouded in thunder. The wind was mixed with the noise of drums and trumpets and the bustling voices of people.
Most of the coalition warships were trying to avoid the Ming army's attacks; therefore, the Ming army was actively approaching the place where the bombardment occurred. Therefore, the Ming warships mostly chose to fire from the port side, which was roughly upwind of the enemy shi

In the early morning of the 28th, the dark grey sky was already beginning to lighten. The Qianjiang River was covered with fog and there was no wind.Several small boats were lined up with glazed lanterns on their masts, flickering orange and yellow lights in the mist, looking like will-o'-the-wisp fires from afar. The wooden oars paddled in the water, making a crisp sound.These small boats in front are leading the way because the vision is still unclear.Behind the boat, a ball of light shone in the air. Where the light was, a huge black shadow slowly swam forward through the fog. Its mountain-like size was daunting, like a dark monster, giving people a suffocating pressure at first glance. This was the outline of a treasure ship.The noise from the rear was also louder, and the ends of the long oars on both sides of the ship moved like propellers. Many soldiers were in the cabin, rowing hard.There were several more treasure ships, plus variou
Game of the Throne Chapter 891: Things Don’t Go As We Wish
There was a sandy mud flatland nearly 200 steps wide on the river bank. An En walked around the flatland himself. Sometimes his calves would sink into the mud. He had to use all his strength to pull his legs out of the sand and mud. If people walked on this flatland, it would obviously be very difficult and slow.This will surely be the burial place of the Ming army.An En had deployed a large number of archers to the front, close to the river beach. Once the Ming army landed by boat and got stuck on the beach, the archers led by An En would continue to shoot arrows, mercilessly shooting at the enemy troops who were as slow as lambs to be slaughtered.After the sun rose, the fog dissipated faster and the vision became clearer. An En clearly saw that many Ming soldiers on the other side were gathering on the flat-bottomed boats. He was a little excited and looked forward to it.As for the other Ming army fleet in the north, An En didn't want to bother w
Game of the Throne Chapter 892: The Road of Thorns
The terrain here is flat, with occasional gentle slopes. However, there are many water networks, and there are also a lot of rice fields and shrubs nearby. For the army, the terrain is not conducive to large-scale marches.The Ming army's columns came one after another from a path between rice fields, and stopped advancing less than 200 steps away from the enemy's formation. The general ordered each team to form a square formation in horizontal rows. The soldiers kept lining up and gradually formed a flat square formation. Only when the horizontal surface was wide enough would they not be outflanked by the enemy's infantry.Flags fluttered among the teams, most of which had their numbers in Chinese characters. After a while, a blue flag with a yellow pattern of a sun, moon and a dragon moved over.Then a middle-aged general with a serious face and a lean figure walked to the front of the army with his hand on the hilt of his sword. The generals in the queue
Game of the Throne Chapter 893: Sense of Existence
In the east, sporadic battles were taking place in various places by the Ming army's pursuit of the enemy to the north; but in the Mekong River basin in the west, the situation was quite different.It had just rained on the vast green plains, but it soon stopped. The air was very fresh and clear, and the wind brought a pleasant breeze. On both sides of the Mekong River, the pastoral scenery was peaceful and primitive.The only thing that was out of place here was the large warship with huge hard sails on the river. It was obviously not something that belonged here, but an uninvited guest.Occasionally, farmers wearing straw hats were seen standing on the distant river bank, watching. A child riding on a buffalo, holding a branch in his hand and facing the river, must have been very curious.Many warships are sailing down the Mekong River, and judging from the direction of the current, the estuary is just ahead. They are heading back to the sea.H

When the victory news from the southern ocean reached the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it was already the beginning of the fifth year of Wude.This was considered extremely fast, thanks to the complete post road from Songtaiwei in Annan to the capital. The post stations and official shops along the way provided fast horses for the messengers, so that the news could be delivered to the capital so quickly.Zhu Gaoxu was naturally very happy to receive such news at the beginning of the year. He immediately asked the six departments to copy the memorial and inform the various government offices of the court. He also ordered the Jinyiwei to go to the city and post the copy of the victory report on the city gates to boost people's morale.Since the implementation of the new policy, many hidden dangers have emerged, but it can still be maintained for the time being.However, within the civil service, the power to collect commercial taxes in various places was

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly woke up in the early morning. After a while, he came to his senses and realized that he was in Guo Wei's bedroom and felt very stuffy.He got up and put on his clothes. He found a half-cooked pot of cold water on the red clay stove, picked up a blue and white teacup, and filled two cups of cold water. Guo Wei also woke up. She looked at Zhu Gaoxu with sleepy eyes and asked, "Is it time to get up?"Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the window curtains and said, "It's not dawn yet, you should sleep a little longer."After he said that, he still sat beside the cold red clay stove, a little absent-minded.After a while, Guo Wei held the quilt to cover her body and sat up on the big bed. Then she found the lining and dressed in the quilt. There was no attendant in the palace, only two people. Guo Wei and Zhu Gaoxu had been together for many years and were very familiar with each other; but she had always been more reserved and would hardly take the in

The Lantern Festival has just passed, and the temperature has become a little colder due to a spring rain.However, people's activities were still as accurate as the rotation of the sun and the moon. As soon as the New Year's Day was over, people immediately began to be busy for the new year. In the court, all government offices had opened their seals and officials had returned to their offices.Zhu Gaoxu attended the morning court in the rain, but he didn't mind, since he had an umbrella. But most of the ministers got their robes and boots wet.After leaving Fengtian Gate, Zhu Gaoxu went to Rouyi Palace, which was closer to here. He immediately summoned Qi Tai, Ru Rong, and Hou Hai, saying that he wanted to discuss military affairs... In fact, he wanted to arrange a tour with troops this year, leaving the capital where he had stayed for several years and going out for a walk. Such a major event must of course be discussed with the court officials first.

When it was chilly spring in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it was still like summer in Zhenla.However, the cool season had not yet ended, and unless one was exposed to the sun at its highest point in the sky, the weather was not too hot most of the time. At this time, the situation in Angkor Wat was very chaotic, the people in the city were in panic, and the palace was shrouded in gloom.The general had already fled back to the royal city from the sea. He talked about the current situation in front of King Benhaya and suddenly said something harsh in anger, "The stupidity of the queen's family has led to the eternal destruction of the Kingdom of Zhenla."At this time, Queen Isuwa was right next to the king. The atmosphere in the hall immediately became very awkward. The general seemed to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he stopped talking and did not say anything more.Yisuwa immediately responded coldly, "I'm afraid your experienc
