Chapter 62 62. Pledge to fight
"You kid will hide away, there are so many things in the court. Tenglong Pavilion is even more busy, but you will pretend to be sick at home."

When Emperor Qing saw that the person coming was Fan Fei, he stopped banging the hammer in his hand and immediately "swore": "Now that you are here, don't be idle, help me add fuel to the fire. I will review the six memorials later. Don't think about it." Just being lazy."

Fan Fei was clearly arranged and did not dare to resist in any way.Emperor Qing tried the newly polished armor-piercing arrow, but was a little disappointed after it couldn't really penetrate the armor: "What happened to the Fan family that day!"

Fan Fei was fanning the fire sadly and indignantly. After hearing Emperor Qing's question, he glared in displeasure: "What else could happen? My father already knew it, otherwise why would he send Eunuch Hong?" help."

"Hey——, haha——"

Emperor Qing seemed very happy to see his son deflated.He smiled and patted Fan Fei on the shoulder, clearing away the haze in his heart: "This time we conquer Northern Qi, let's see who is suitable for the unified disease!"

"Capturing the city is different from the war to destroy the country. This time the Qing Kingdom is just a plan to expand the territory and encroach on the Northern Qi step by step. Therefore, the military generals should not go to the border and let the young people experience it. .Isn’t General Sun Hua from the Ministry of War always saying that he is too busy to be idle?"

"This time, let him command the troops and lead the [-] Jiangnan Army headed by Prime Minister Lin to march to the border. During the march, [-] troops will be mobilized along the way as a logistics guard. In the next few days, I will let the Flying Tiger Cavalry set off and go to the border to obey Big Brother. Simply let Brother Chengen serve as the vanguard general!"

"If we don't move Xiangnan and Tianzhou, we only have a hundred thousand Jiangnan troops." Emperor Qing was a little confused when he heard this. Then he thought of something, stared at Fan Fei and said sternly: "You want to move Jiangnan!"

"I have had this idea for a long time. After the conquest of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Jiangnan Army and Feihuqi, who have seen the blood on the battlefield, will be able to ride to the south of the Yangtze River."

Emperor Qing said: "Do you know the significance of Jiangnan to Qingguo?"

"Of course I know! If Yunzhou is the granary of Qing State, then Jiangnan is the household deposit of Qing State. There are many wealthy families in Jiangnan. Over the years, they have relied on Qing State to absorb nutrients and divide the huge benefits of the inner treasury. , it’s time to let them shed some blood.”

"Father, you also know the account books of the inner treasury. Since Li Yunrui took charge of the inner treasury, the benefits recovered have been declining year by year. Does she really have no responsibility at all?"

Emperor Qing has always known what Fan Fei said.It was also the result of his careless indulgence, but before the Qingguo national policy to calm the world, everything needed patience: "The emperor is in charge of the life and death of millions of people, and every movement is like thunder. You have I never thought about the turbulent waves that would be caused by the Qing Kingdom during the conquest of the world!"

"Father, my mother created a huge inner treasury. It was for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, not for anyone's personal gain. If I had had ideas about money, I would have been sure to seize the inner treasury quietly when I was in Danzhou. "

Emperor Qing smiled and said: "I don't doubt this. If you really have this intention, Li Yunrui will never be your opponent."

"The inner treasury's financial power serves the Qing State, and Jiangnan is the territory of the Qing State." Fan Fei knelt down solemnly, and said to Emperor Qing with a very serious expression: "Father, the war is about money and food. , Why fight without money? When my mother established the inner treasury, it was for eternal peace. Where is the original intention now? Where is the ambition? "

"So whether it's the inner treasury or the land in the south of the Yangtze River, it must be fully taken over by Qingguo!"

"Father, before going abroad, you must first make peace at home!"

Emperor Qing's right hand slapped Fan Fei's shoulder heavily: "Okay! As you said! After the Northern Qi expedition is over, I will issue the imperial edict clearly."

...

...

The next day in the court hall, Eunuch Hou read the imperial edict and said: "The Northern Qi Dynasty is unjust, disrupting the state affairs of Qing State, murdering important ministers of Qing State, and millions of people in Qing State are unhappy. Rise up the army of benevolence and righteousness and conquer the unjust country of Northern Qi!"

"One hundred thousand Jiangnan Army cavalry marched to the frontier. General Sun Hua served as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and the eldest prince served as the commander-in-chief of the front army. Li Tian served as the Sima of the central army, and Huang Jianwu served as the commander-in-chief of the rear army."

"Kin this!"

Sun Hua was wearing a general's iron armor, and with a serious and serious look on his face, he bowed his hands and saluted: "I obey your order!"

"Follow the decree!"

The expedition against Northern Qi had been prepared for a long time, and this was not the first time that Qing State had gone to war with other countries. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to procedures.After the morning court dispersed, Tenglong Pavilion presented a briefing for Emperor Qing, Prime Minister Lin and the six ministers to consider.Although the Crown Prince and the Second Prince did not see the briefing, it was not difficult to see from everyone's expressions how shocking its content was.

Emperor Qing said: "Send the analysis of the Military Division and the Intelligence Division in Tenglong's briefing to General Sun Hua. Send thirty red-armored knights, fifty Sirius black knights, and five thousand flying tiger knights to escort the commander-in-chief of the three armies to the south of the Yangtze River for transfer. military!"

"Follow the decree!"

Just after a busy lunch, Fan Fei left the imperial study after reading the memorials reviewed by Emperor Qing during this period.

Since the second prince gave the white deer leaf to Fan Fei, everyone in Kyoto now knows that the leaf is Fan Fei's mount.Emperor Qing even made a decree that Ye Zi could live in the Royal Beast Garden after entering the palace.Taking the Tianwen Sword from Gong Dian, Fan Fei sat on Ye Zi's back and swayed out of the palace.Wearing a black robe and a long sword, Fan Fei does not look like an official, but more like a knight traveling in the world.

Fan Fei has many little habits, and many caring people have noticed.For example, they like sweet honey water, or they like to collect famous swords, or they like black samurai robes.He is the most self-restrained and polite person, and also the most rebellious person. He hates wearing square official robes the most.

As early as last night, Fan Fei secretly deployed the Flying Tiger Rider into Kyoto.With the imperial edict issued by Emperor Qing, even if Ye Chong was the garrison in Kyoto, he had to obey the edict.In front of the palace, on the avenue that can accommodate three carriages and horses, there are neatly lined up soldiers wearing iron armor, holding spears and shields, and wearing standard flying tiger knives at their waists.All the five thousand flying tiger soldiers were present, including the hundred-man team led by Fan Bu.

The equipment of the Flying Tiger Cavalry cannot be said to be the best in the world, but the craftsmanship of the Fine Iron Hundred Refiners is particularly sophisticated.All of them wore evil tiger masks on their faces and carried short crossbows on their backs.There are also three quivers next to the short crossbow, which contain ten arrows.Fan Fei referred to the production of Zhuge Liannu in his previous life, and while custom-making the Flying Tiger Sword for Feihu Qi, he also specially produced the [Flying Tiger Liannu] through Tenglong Pavilion's engineering company.

Regardless of the style, type and material of weapons, Feihuqi is definitely the number one weapon in the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Fei rode White Deer Ye Zi and inspected the flying tiger generals standing in formation on both sides of the street.Each soldier has a fierce aura and a complete and orderly position, making the five thousand flying tiger generals look particularly shocking.When Fan Fei walked in front of them, they held their spears and saluted, their eyes following Fan Fei's footsteps.

"Although they have not been baptized on the battlefield, the Flying Tiger Cavalry can definitely be regarded as an elite, victorious super cavalry!"

Ye Zhong also said with a rather solemn expression: "I don't know how the Fan family boy was trained to enable the Flying Tiger Cavalry to have such a well-founded marching formation."

The Qin family is the family with the highest power in the Qing Kingdom's military. The old man of the Qin family not only controls the Privy Council, known as the Military Aircraft Department, but he also serves as the Secretary of the Ministry of War: "According to the military system reformed by Your Majesty, the special cavalry can be different from the permanent three armies. Only Emperor Qing and the generals were eligible for transfer. Although General Sun was the commander of the expedition against Northern Qi, the commander of the Flying Tiger Cavalry, Fan Shilang, did not go with the army, and he did not know who the Fan family boy would hand over such elite soldiers to. !”

As the Prime Minister of the Qing Kingdom, Prime Minister Lin was also the person who knew the most secrets. He revealed to the Qin family and the Ye family: "The eldest prince, Li Chengen. It was not His Majesty's imperial edict, but the minister of household affairs who took the initiative to ask for it!" "

The eldest prince has the blood of a commoner from another country and is not eligible to inherit the throne according to the ancestral system of the Qing Kingdom.However, Emperor Qing did not give up on him. As a prince, he could still lead troops, and he was also a battle-hardened general on the frontier.If he were not unable to inherit the throne, he would be the most capable and qualified candidate to become the next prince.

...

...

Five thousand flying tigers rode into Kyoto. There was no way anyone could hide such a huge movement.At this moment, not only people from the military arrived, but also officials of all sizes in Kyoto City.Even the eldest princess, the prince and others were watching from the darkness of the street.

Moreover, today was the day when Sun Hua led the generals to conquer the Northern Qi Dynasty and left the capital. How could anyone be absent from such a "prosperous time"?Not to mention others, even Fan Jian arrived with his family.Fan Ruoruo and Fan Xian were also on both sides of the street, among the crowd watching the excitement, and even distracted themselves from protecting Lin Wan'er and Lin Dabao beside them.

There is always an end to a long road, right in front of the observation archway on the edge of Kyoto.There is a three-foot war drum that has been prepared for a long time.Fan Fei pulled Ye Zi to the drum, picked up the drumstick and beat it violently.The heroism is like the galloping of thousands of horses on the battlefield, and the sad and bloodthirsty atmosphere spurts out.

"Flying Tiger Divine Weapon, unscathed in a hundred battles!"

The five thousand flying tiger riders listened to the drums and heard Fan Fei's powerful and powerful shouts. They immediately responded and roared in unison: "We must win, we must win, we must win!"

The awakened fighting spirit is like a lion roaring up to the sky in the mountains and forests, and the beating of spears and shields is like huge waves constantly lapping at the riddled coast.The most important thing for the Flying Tiger Cavalry trained by Fan Fei is the neat and complete marching sequence, as well as the courage to be fearless of wind, cloud, thunder and lightning.The Flying Tiger General's favorite thing is wine. Wine strengthens people's courage. If they have wine courage, they will not be afraid of death.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in Kyoto, Fan Fei not only did not show any timidity, but instead raised his head and chest and shouted majesticly: "My sons, we are about to embark on the iron-blooded battlefield. How do you feel?"

The lieutenant of Fei Huqi is Fan Qing, Fan Jian's adopted son whom he relies on the most: "How could Fei Huer Lang be afraid of death? He fought for the Qing Kingdom and had no regrets even though he died!"

"Death without regret!"

The shouts of the Flying Tiger Cavalry gathered together, like a green dragon roaring against the wind and rain, but a mere five thousand soldiers gave people the illusion of a thousand troops.Seeing such heroic soldiers, even Fan Fei was excited and said in his heart: "Good! You are indeed a good son of our Qing Kingdom. The Flying Tiger Cavalry will be upright in life, and will shine brightly in death!"

"For great dreams!"

Feihuqi roared: "For the long-lived Qingguo!"

At this time, Lin Dabao walked to the high platform of the archway and took out the King Qing flag that Lin Waner had embroidered overnight.Like the base of a long dark night, a majestic white dragon suddenly appeared on it, and a flag as long as an arm floated in the wind.

Fan Fei picked up the Tianwen Sword worn by Bailu Yezi, unsheathed the sword and cut his palm.Under the astonished eyes of hundreds of thousands of people, he sprinkled his own blood on the royal flag, even dyeing the entire flag red: "Where is Lieutenant General Fan Qing!"

Fan Qing, wearing iron armor fused with silver, walked out of the ranks of the Flying Tiger Riders and said, "Fan Qing is here!"

"Take this blood-stained royal flag to the border and hand it over to His Highness the First Prince. Yan Ming also informed His Highness that His Majesty Emperor Qing is waiting for his good news, and millions of people in Qing are waiting for his good news!"

Fan Fei took the blood-stained royal flag from Lin Dabao's hand, and when he handed it to Fan Qing's hand, he continued: "This flag, this blood, is Fan Fei's heartfelt wish! Don't let down the Feihuqi's charge into battle, and fight for the Qing Dynasty." The ambition to expand the territory!”

"Must win! Must win! Must win—"

Fan Fei held the Tianwen Sword in his hand, pointed the sword's edge directly at the three gates of Kyoto City and said: "Go to battle!"

After listening to the order, the Flying Tiger Cavalry lined up in a neat queue, marching towards the city gate with thunderous steps, towards the border between Qing State and Northern Qi: "Flying Tiger Divine Soldier, unscathed in a hundred battles!"

"Flying Tiger Divine Weapon, unscathed in a hundred battles!"

"Flying Tiger Divine Weapon, unscathed in a hundred battles!"
