General Yan Ping's company Chang Chengyong and Ministry of War Minister Tie Xuan led the army and wiped out tens of thousands of Yan's elite soldiers in one fell swoop. Zhang Yu, Judy's first general, died in battle. "Since Yan Bing made a mistake, North and South Japan have been at war, and Julian Waghann Jack has never been like Dongchang.

This Guangyue Building is also very famous in China, and it is also called the three famous buildings in China together with Yueyang Tower and Yellow Crane Tower. This is a famous building created by China. There are two theories about the origin of the building: First, when Beijing was built, timber was shipped from the Grand Canal, and when the last batch of logs arrived in Dongchangfu, the Forbidden City was successfully completed, and Dongchang Magistrate built a building with the remaining timber, so it was called Yumulou, and later renamed Guangyue Building. These logs were imported from the then Sulu country, that is, the Philippines, and the quality was very good. There is also a saying that Chen Yong, commander of Dongchang garrison in the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1369), converted the earthen city built by Song Xining into a brick city in the third year, and built an extra drum tower in the center of the city with the remaining wood, formerly known as Yumulou.
