The last part of Ming army display, Wagon (WWgX in DBMM term), Generals (RCvS in DBMM), Baggagge, Budda temple (BUA in DBMM) and a back gound castlle.

All General's hanged banners came from the idea of "4 directions war gods" in Ming's army. with their official tile for the CinC.

The name of castle is "dragon city", which the idea is from a very popular Ancient Chinese poem every Chinese learn from kindergarten:

秦时明月汉时关，

There was open field in the Qin period but a strategic pass in the Han period (Chinese expansion into the steppe area)

万里长征人未还，

However soldiers not returned from long expedition yet (probably never return)

但使龙城飞将在，

If the Flying General of Dragon city still there (say to all brilliant Gens in Chinese history who fough the steppe people from the north)

不教胡马渡阴山。

The steppe horsemen never can penatrate Yinshan Mountain (a natural mountain barrier guarded China's northern border)
