Last Updated:
2024-08-03 14:45:34People walked along the canal and gradually reached the west of Kaifeng City. The Yellow River was just ahead. The cavalry of the central army protected Zhu Gaoxu and other officials, and they rode their horses to the south bank of the river first.
The river bank was built very high and thick, and there were several parallel protective dikes. Zhu Gaoxu abandoned his horse and walked up the steps on the embankment. The civil and military officials had to follow him up the slope. After a while, some officials who were not in good physical condition were out of breath.
After a long time, everyone finally walked onto a river bank. Zhu Gaoxu took a long breath and looked around. After a while, he looked down at the soil under his feet and found many branches and sacks in the soil.
At this time, Gao Xianning said, "Your Majesty, that is the material left by the willow roller. There must have been a river breach in this place, causing a flood, so the water control

The civil and military officials were still discussing in the main room of the tile-roofed house. The people who spoke the most were Gao Xianning and He Kuisi, who were also the most knowledgeable and intelligent people around Zhu Gaoxu. However, Zhu Gaoxu did not say anything for a long time. He paced back and forth near the desk, thinking and listening to the ministers' words.At this time, several people were discussing the authenticity of various signs. The most credible thing is, of course, that the incident in which Arutai took the initiative to declare himself a vassal and be granted a title happened in the capital, and seeing is believing.Secondly, Arutai intends to support Adai from Horqin as the Great Khan, and there is a Mongolian prince among the remaining Tatars of Hami Guard. The reliability of these information is limited. But it’s not completely untrustworthy. At least the news has a source and is not groundless.The most mysterious and unre

The Ming army soldiers lined up in two rows of infantry on the periphery, with spears, shields and lances ready for battle. The Tatars, Hami Mongols, civil servants, and camels were crowded in the middle, watching the enemy army in the wind and sand with horror.The archers in the formation were ready and waiting at the back. The Hami Mongols, who were few in number, also had weapons and took down their bows and arrows to prepare for defense.Behind the infantry there were some gunmen who were busy loading, and someone was passing on the fire and lighting the match ropes one after another. There was no sign of any enemies along the way, and the gun was usually empty, probably because the igniting powder was easily blown away by the wind. The sergeants moved quickly, but some people's fingers were visibly trembling in the hurry.A group of cavalrymen rushed over, and the Ming army generals were already shouting and ordering everyone to hold their line and not

More Waqir cavalry appeared in the distance. In the whistling wind and sand, the dull thud of countless horse hooves on the sand was deafening. The Ming army soldiers who had been broken through the front line fought desperately, and many people in the formation were still struggling hard; people found the situation at this time and were all desperate.The rushing Waqir cavalry was more numerous than the attacking enemy soldiers. No matter what, the Ming army guards could not stop the enemy with superior forces. However, the Ming army did not flee or disintegrate. Perhaps they knew that there was nowhere to escape at this time. Two angry shouts came from the crowd.The general shouted, "Brothers, the time has come to serve the emperor."Asari didn't bother to hide her feelings. She stumbled towards the child, snatched him from the slave girl, and held him in her arms.After the terrifying herd of horses rushed over, strange things happened.A lar

A few days after the surviving Tatars followed the Ming army through Jiayuguan, they arrived at Suzhou Wei, which was directly ruled by the Ming Dynasty.This is a good place, with clear streams, open grasslands with abundant water and grass, continuous farmland, majestic city walls, and cattle and sheep on the plains. The autumn weather is clear and the scenery is pleasant.Prime Minister Tuohuochi followed the crowd into the Acropolis and ate mutton noodles in the city.During the heyday of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols loved this kind of food. But after they retreated to the grasslands, noodles became a rare treat that only the nobility could enjoy. Ordinary Mongols could not get flour at all, so their diet changed. On the contrary, the Han people on the Hexi Corridor still loved to eat noodles.Everyone was very happy in the dining room. There weren't too many people in the room, but the atmosphere was very lively. People were talking excitedly and

The troops escorting the emperor stayed on the south bank of the river and only started crossing the river in September.The flood season of the river is between summer and autumn, when the water is very turbulent and it is extremely difficult for a large group of people to cross the river smoothly. However, after autumn, until the spring of the following year, the water flow will continue to decrease, and the river water level may be less than 20% of the flood season at the lowest. This is also the reason why the Central Plains dynasty could not rely on the river to stop the invasion of the northern enemy. In comparison, the natural barrier of the Yangtze River is more stable.After crossing the river, the people headed north along the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, and everything went smoothly along the way.Eight days later, the army arrived outside Zhangde Prefecture. Each unit crossed the river one after another from a stone arch bridge. Zhu Gaoxu lo

At noon, the banquet started as scheduled in Chengyun Hall. Zhu Gaoxu, the two imperial concubines, as well as ministers, nobles, officials and guests from Zhangde Prefecture, gathered in the hall. There were also musicians singing and dancing to entertain.The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to etiquette, and this kind of banquet had rules. The rules were very detailed, from the music, songs and dances to the lines and movements of people, everything was fixed. It was not just the people singing and dancing who were performing, in fact everyone was performing. Almost all the programs revolved around one theme, which was to flatter the "current emperor", that is, Zhu Gaoxu, who was sitting directly above.There was a play performed by an old man and a child. The old and the child played the roles of villagers, but Zhu Gaoxu did not understand part of the lyrics. When the old man sang loudly, "Now the emperor respects the heaven and follows the ancestors, an

After Princess Webster left, the few people gathered also dispersed. Mrs. Xu still followed Duan Xuehen to the wing where the two of them lived.The two of them walked across the threshold in silence. Duan Xuehen suddenly turned around and said, "Don't listen to Princess Zhao complaining just now, but her position is very secure. You can't compare to her, so there is no need to miss Prince Zhao."Xu said, "I don't want to compare with Wei Shi, and I can't hope to be Princess Zhao again."Her expression was very complicated. Duan Xue hated to see her. She was usually very thoughtful and liked to inquire about all kinds of things. But when she faced her own affairs, she seemed very confused.Duan Xuehen said unceremoniously, "In that case, what do you want to do when you come to Prince Zhao's Mansion? You are a useless princess and can't be the official concubine, so it is impossible for you to be Prince Zhao's wife."Xu looked at Duan Xuehen aggri

Two days had passed since the Tatars joined the Ming Emperor's team.The weather was clear, and the red morning sun was rising above the flat horizon. On the road in the distance, the people in the front had formed a large team and were heading towards the rising sun. Ashari watched for a while and could see that people had to go east today.They said they were passing through the Ming Empire, but after the Tatars came here, it seemed that it was not so easy to escape and head north. All kinds of worries and fantasies were accumulating in Asari's mind.The two sides once fought side by side, and the Han people also fought bloody battles to protect Asari and others; but when the situation changed slightly, the Han people became the biggest threat to everyone.At this moment, Ashari suddenly found that there were two men watching her son. One of them was wearing a colorful brocade robe, a black hat, and a single sword on his waist; the other was wearing

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
Game of the Throne Chapter 1060: Relationship and Emotion
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
