Chapter 924: Fire and Water
People 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

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
