Chapter 700: Combining Kindness and Power

At the end of December, the Ming Emperor personally led the northern expeditionary army into Juyongguan Pass and marched to the southern foot of Jundu Mountain. The Yongle era was completely over, and the first year of Wude was about to begin. The army was stationed near a garrison at the foot of Jundu Mountain. Along the foot of the mountain along the post road, the soldiers opened up a large cemetery; the bodies of the fallen soldiers brought back from the battlefield were buried here one after another.
