This post road leading to Yunnan Prefecture City is very old.
It inherited the Yuan Dynasty and perhaps existed in the earlier Nanzhao Kingdom.
The compacted dirt road has ruts on the surface and the smooth curves of people and horses repeatedly walk through the smooth.
The tall maple trees on both sides of the road cover the sky and the orange-red branches and leaves are in harmony with the colorful sunshine.
Dong, Dong, Dong... The low and rough drum sounds resounded evenly on the unfathomable road.
There were also neat footsteps of clatter, clatter... in line with it.
People did not deliberately make sounds, but with more people, the footsteps gathered in small quantities.
The sound of drums and footsteps vibrated the ground, and the orange-red maple leaves in the sky fell one after another, with gorgeous colors and orange-red flying.
The wide-eaved iron helmet on the ground was shaking neatly with people's steps, and the white linen bound on the iron helmet was white.
People take steps slowly, but they maintain a constant speed, as if they will never stop and will continue to move forward firmly.
...The sun sets from one place, and the world is dim; but it will inevitably rise in another place.
The ritual system is compared with the Han Palace in the imperial palace. At this time, it is sleeping and the palace is silent.
In the study room east of Chengyun Hall, Zhu Gaoxu no longer knew how long he had been here. In short, he spent all night here. It was almost dawn now, right?
Zhu Gaoxu is twenty-four years old this year. He was in the bronze mirror and saw a few white hairs on his temples.
Year of the zodiac.I heard that life is a cycle of reincarnation, and it is easy to be unlucky in the zodiac year.
Zhu Gaoxu used to be a gambler, and gambling was all about luck, so materialistic school education could not make him disbelief. He did not believe in all the mysterious things, nor did he believe in them at all.
However, Zhu Gaoxu is now wearing gray and white burlap and a thick burlap without seams.
He did not wear red because Hou Hai said that he had to find a fortune teller to calculate carefully before he could wear it. It would not turn bad luck into good luck when wearing red randomly.
So Zhu Gaoxu gave up and was too lazy to pay attention to it.
He sat cross-legged on a futon on the floor, looking at each other with the armor on the wooden stand opposite.
Zhu Gaoxu has been using this pair of Qingtang fine iron cold-forged armor for at least nine years.
The armor is carefully maintained and the armor is completely rusted, but after all, it can be seen that there are signs of wear and tear after a long time.
It was shining with a cold metallic light under the hazy light of the lantern.
The forehead brim of the wide-brimmed iron helmet is slightly longer. It lowers its head and has a black face; the heart protection glass is like two pectoral muscles.
After watching it for a long time, Zhu Gaoxu felt that it was clearly like a mysterious person and a living creature, standing quietly.
There was a light fragrance in the room, and in the copper stove, wisps of innocent fragrance wafted out, surrounding the armor.The armor seemed to be breathing in white mist, black light and white vapor, adding to the terrifying and murderous aura.
Humanity means that jade has spiritual energy, and over time, it will have souls.Maybe there will be armor?
Zhu Gaoxu changed his position and slightly restored his numb legs.
He got closer to the armor, and the human figure disappeared instead; but the details above became clearer.
There are many subtle marks on the nail plate, including dents and scratches, and the old nail plates are mixed with iron that is different from the old when repaired.
Those damaged traces seem to record every footprint of Zhu Gaoxu, from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River, from Luchuan to Annan.
At this time, the eunuch Wang Gui's voice said: Prince, Du Qianrui got up early and prepared soup dumplings and pork porridge for you. It's almost dawn. Do you want to eat breakfast?
So Zhu Gaoxu asked Wang Gui to bring it up and ate breakfast in front of the armor; then asked the eunuchs to come in and help him put the armor on his body.
Although the armor was heavy, after Zhu Gaoxu put it on, he seemed to feel something was united with him.
As the genius was just dawn, Zhu Gaoxu had already taken the lead in Chengyun Hall.
Before the time came, the civil and military officials had not arrived here yet, and Zhu Gaoxu sat on the throne alone.After a while, Du Qianrui walked into the back door of the hall first.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the long-sleeved costume she was wearing in surprise and said: "The soup dumplings that Xie Qianrui had made with care are delicious."
Du Qianrui looked up at Zhu Gaoxu in iron armor and said, "The Peony Pavilion" written by the prince and Ning Wang for me last time, I haven't had time to sing it to the prince."The prince is about to go to war, I will sing a passage for you.
Zhu Gaoxu said: OK.
So Du Qianrui stood in the empty hall, posed, danced lightly with long sleeves, and sang aloud: Dreaming back to the oriole, the chaos of years is everywhere...
Zhu Gaoxu listened to the song carefully, and the lyrics of the opera were sang very slowly. He sighed several times, and he was gentle and indescribable.
Perhaps the Chinese lyrics need to be slower to hear clearly what they are singing.
Du Qianrui's singing style is also full of words. Zhu Gaoxu was sitting on the seat, and gradually became intoxicated by listening, feeling the wonderful and romantic feelings in the play story.
Although Du Qianrui is petite, her eyes are very emotional. During the singing and sighing, her eyes never left Zhu Gaoxu, with a passionate but reluctant look and admiring and obsessive look.
Zhu Gaoxu was more and more useful to his bulging breasts, slender waist, and gentle posture.
I really don't want to lose all this.Zhu Gaoxu seemed to hear a voice.
The gentle and wonderful time always makes people feel very short. After Du Qianrui finished singing, she made a happy blessing and said in opera: It’s getting late, all civil and military officials are coming, and I will leave.In the future, I will look forward to the prince’s victory as soon as possible.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and suddenly looked at Du Qianrui's graceful figure as if he had lost ground.
I don’t know how long I sat there, but the number of people in the hall gradually increased, and the royal guard of honor began to play the grand drums and music.
A big drum woke Zhu Gaoxu up, and then the drum sounded like raindrops, as if thousands of horses were galloping, and orchestral bells and gongs joined in it, and the hall was very lively.
Bang!Bang!The whip sounded in the hall, like a separator in a grand drum music.
Civil officials wearing mourning clothes and military generals wearing armor lined up into the hall. The soldiers had to wear armor, so there was only a piece of white linen tied to the helmet, like a symbol.
Everyone bowed to the top and bowed.
The drums and music stopped, and an iron-faced man walked to the top and opened the file and recited: My legitimate son of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, the country's closest relative.He fought for his father and fought in the north and south, and was invincible and had great military achievements.So he feuded the vassal states and protected the imperial regime.The palace suddenly changed, and the traitor in the East Palace plotted to murder my father and wanted to design a murder in the East Palace.This is a matter of plotting against the king to kill his father and harming his relatives, and it is full of conscience, and both man and gods are angry.I will punish God to protect the country.The gods of heaven and earth will reveal my heart.In the fifth year of Yongle, Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone shouted in unison: Xiaguan and others are willing to follow the King of Han, serve the heavens to punish the country!
Then the iron-faced man recited again: In order to deal with the major crimes, the governor's office was opened, and Li Changjue was appointed as the deacon, and he was also the right chief of the Han Palace.Represent Qu Neng as the left governor and general of the vanguard army, he led 100,000 vanguard army to advance on the same day!
Qu Neng walked out of the queue, knelt on one knee, and said with a fist: I will live up to the heavy responsibility!
Many people looked at the man who had just walked out.Most civil and military officials remember the name Qu Neng, but people suddenly realized that Qu Neng was actually in this hall!
Qu Nengjun was the first army to assemble and reorganize it into an army, claiming to be 100,000, and the total number of troops was 17,000.These included some guards from the Han Palace and the guards of Yunnan.
Most of the guards in Quneng's army were from the people near Yunnan Fucheng.Because the troops from the garrison farther away have not yet reached Yunnan Prefecture City.
In fact, Zhu Gaoxu could mobilize less than 100,000 troops in total.
His three guards have a strength of 20,000. In the past few days, he has concluded with Mu Sheng and others that the guards can mobilize about 70,000 people.
The total number of the slaughter army is only 90,000, and it will take some time to fully form an army.
Zhu Gaoxu walked down from the throne, took off the geese feather knife with gold inlaid with the hilt of the knife on his body, and handed it to Qu Neng.
He took the plate from the eunuch's hand, picked up the new seal with silk on it, and glanced at the small seal carved on it: Defeat the Sin Jun Qu.
The seal was written by Zhu Gaoxu and then carved according to his handwriting.
In addition, there is also a letter of appointment covered with the Han King's golden seal on the wooden plate.
Qu Neng took it with both hands and bowed.
Zhu Gaoxu also bowed his fists and said, "Governor Qu leads the army first, and I will then lead a large army of 300,000 to cover it. I hope Governor Qu will win the front flag!
Qu Neng said: Obey the order!
The Iron-Faced Man also announced that the Han Dynasty's Royal Palace's Guardian was promoted to the Guardian Palace, and the two departments of the North and South were divided into two departments.The Northern Division is the personal army; the Southern Division specializes in developing firearms.Talents who have improved firearms must be rewarded.
All the troops affiliated with the Han Palace during the marching and combat period must be dispatched by the Han Palace’s Chief Secretary’s Mansion. The soldiers will also have rated military pay (copper) coins, silver or property of the same value every month.
These treatments are far higher than those of the Ming military households, and the expenses of the Han Palace will be huge.
For ninety thousand troops, the military pay alone costs more than one million guan a year.
However, Zhu Gaoxu has accumulated a lot of money in the years, and has divided more than 100,000 guan from the jade trade in a few years; he borrowed 200,000 guan from the Shen family.
It's still not a big problem if you maintain it for one or two years.
After the ceremony of worshiping the generals, everyone parted and were busy starting to do what they are today.Recently, the civil and military officials of the Han Palace are very busy. It is not easy for Zhu Gaoxu to reorganize Qu Nengjun in a short time.
...The road Qu Nengjun is about to take is the Luzhou Road in Usada, because this road is the best way to enter Sichuan.
Qu Nengjun first went to Wumeng Prefecture (Zhaotong) and Wusar Military and Civil Affairs Office (Weining), and included Wumeng Prefecture and Wusar Wei who are not sure where they belong to Sichuan, Yunnan or Guizhou; then went to Bijiewei in Guizhou Dusi.
After Zhu Gaoxu completed the reorganization of the army in Yunnan, he then led the army and Qu Neng to attack Sichuan along the Usada Luzhou Road.
The strategy of the Han Palace's attack on Sichuan has been roughly planned, and of course there are huge risks that are inevitable.And Qu Nengjun's attack was the first step.
The movements on the ground in Yunnan are getting more and more intense, and it is completely difficult to hide.
It inherited the Yuan Dynasty and perhaps existed in the earlier Nanzhao Kingdom.
The compacted dirt road has ruts on the surface and the smooth curves of people and horses repeatedly walk through the smooth.
The tall maple trees on both sides of the road cover the sky and the orange-red branches and leaves are in harmony with the colorful sunshine.
