Chapter 875: Dingding War (15)
The Dijing Corps is now the most elite corps under Liu Fan, and the elite soldiers and strong generals are concentrated in the Dijing Corps, of course, there is a reason for this, that is, Liu Fan wants to protect his own safety, after all, the most unsafe thing in the entire empire is Dijing now. Liu Fan's relocation of the capital to the imperial capital greatly boosted the morale of the entire empire, and the empire was extremely excited both in terms of the people and the military. The people of the empire saw that the imperial government moved the capital to the imperial capital, which made them see the hope of the empire, and the hearts of the people were always towards this empire. The soldiers on the front line knew that the empire moved the capital to the imperial capital, and finally let their hearts settle down, after all, the imperial capital moved to the imperial capital, which means that they sounded the clarion call for the unification of the empire, and they finally came to the orthodox position.
February 2, the day when the dragon raised its head, this is a day worthy of great mention in the empire, and it is also one of the most important days in the empire, because today is their beloved Prince Yu, Liu Fan officially accepted the imperial family's concession and ascended to the position of emperor. Liu Fan has led the imperial army to fight for the empire in the south and north over the years, and his outstanding military exploits can be said to be no worse than that of Prince Li back then, and even surpassed. During these days of imperial turmoil, people hoped that such a powerful emperor would appear on the throne of the empire, ascend to the throne of this empire, and lead them and the empire to new glory.
When the first rays of sunlight fell on the land of the empire, the soldiers at the head of the city picked up their huge drumsticks and beat the skin war drums on the top of the city. The rumbling of war drums made the whole Imperial Kyoto boil, and when the war drums sounded, groups of soldiers walked out of the barracks with neat steps. Black battle robes. The black helmet had blue feathers floating on it. Scarlet robes fluttered in the wind. They were all the most elite soldiers of the Empire. The royal elite corps that entered the empire, they are also the new generation of the imperial forest army of the empire, and they are also the ceremonial soldiers of the empire.
Da Da Da, all the white war horses are knocking on the stone road of the imperial capital with neat steps, and the people in the imperial capital have already walked their own doors, and each of them is very excited, they will witness the arrival of this miraculous era. At the forefront were the most elite regiments of the royal family, and they were all elite cavalry units. At the forefront are Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, two generals, they are the most elite generals carefully selected this time, and they are definitely among the best in the empire in terms of image and military exploits.
"Hooray! Hooray!" When a soldier holding high the banner of the Celestial Dragon Empire and a soldier holding the banner of the Celestial Dragon Empire appeared at the gate of the city gate, it immediately caused the people to shout like a tsunami. The cavalry of the empire tightly surrounded the two soldiers, and both the flag of the empire and the flag of the empire represented countless splendor and history. The cavalry in front shook the reins and slowly walked forward, while behind were a large number of infantry units, all of whom wore heavy armor and walked forward with strong steps.
"Long live the Empire! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Emperor Shenwu!" When Liu Fan's carriage appeared in the imperial capital, all the people's emotions instantly hit the highest point. Everyone was unusually excited, and they raised their hands in the air. It was as if the Nazis were fanatical, and when they saw Hitler, they now had no idea how to describe their excitement, and they shouted a tsunami of hoops as if they were going to overturn the whole of the Imperial Palace. Liu Fan stood at the top of the carriage and kept signaling to the people around him, signaling them to calm down first, but it was a pity that Liu Fan's eastward actions could only achieve the opposite effect.
"It seems that the prestige of the lord has already reached its peak, and now we no longer have to worry about any rebellion from the people of the empire, it seems that our preparations today are a little redundant. Liu Fan's side Guo Jia smiled at Wang Jian and said, even if they have long known that the people of the empire hope that Liu Fan can ascend to the throne, but hope is hope, and when it is really done, there are still some worries, after all, you can't get everyone's support for one thing, and the people of the empire are more or less towards the royal family of the empire, although Liu Fan's accession to the throne is expected by all, but some work still needs to be done, for example, in order to prevent emergencies, 200,000 troops are arranged outside the city to be ready to enter the city at any time to maintain law and order in the cityγ
"Yes, I didn't expect this to be the case, but the necessary precautions still need to be done, and we will not be able to deal with emergencies if we encounter them. Wang Jian nodded solemnly, at this time the army has come to Tianlong Road, which used to be where the magnates of the empire lived, but with the turmoil in the imperial capital, the magnates of the empire are all dead and fleeing, and now this is not even as good as many civilian areas, until the recent return of Liu Fan's class to the imperial capital, and it is gradually regaining its popularity.
"Strategist, I heard that the lord plans to demolish this place?" Wang Jian rode on a war horse and pointed to the houses of countless wealthy and powerful people on both sides of the road with the horsewhip in his hand and asked, in Wang Qian's opinion, no matter which dynasty it is, it is always impossible to be the fairest, as the saying goes, the ass determines the head, but there must be corresponding special treatment and rights under the buttocks, otherwise no one wants to sit in this position. If Liu Fan wants to demolish all the mansions of the royal nobles, it will undoubtedly make the hearts of these wealthy nobles feel resistant, you must know that they are now the pillars of the entire empire, if they are unwilling to support Liu Fan, the pace of unifying the empire will be seriously delayed.
"It's not all, at least the mansions of those related to the Bloodline Army are going to be demolished. Guo Jia smiled and said to Wang Qian, of course he knew what Wang Jian meant, Guo Jia explained to Wang Jian with a smile: "This place is called Tianlong Road, they have always occupied the upper echelons of the empire, and they have forcibly divided the empire into two parts: nobles and civilians, which is not allowed in the new policy of the lord." Therefore, the lord wants to demolish some of the guilty mansions here, and then build some commercial areas here, and move some of the people here, so as to waste the distance between the nobles and the people, and the royal family will also build a mansion here, and the emperor will live here for a period of time every year. In order to get close to the people of the empire. to learn about the lives of these people. So as to better manage the empire here. β
Wang Jian also nodded heavily after hearing this, he didn't know if Liu Fan's approach would be effective, at least the empire had put its posture sufficiently, and that was enough. While talking, the two followed their subordinates forward, and after passing through Tianlong Road, everyone came to Tianlong Gate, which was the first gate to enter the palace. Liu Fan patrolled a group in the city and received satisfactory results, and now it was time to enter the palace and officially accept the throne of the Dragon Empire. Draconian. Eighty carefully selected guards stood at the gate of Tianlong with expressionless faces, and when Liu Fan's carriage passed through the Tianlong Gate, these guards all raised their weapons and saluted Liu Fan.
Daming Palace, which was built in the palace of the First Emperor, has become the largest and most luxurious palace in the entire Tianlong Continent after countless expansions and reconstructions. On the square of the Xuanwu Gate of the Daming Palace, the emperor of the empire, Ximen Ye, had already been waiting here with people early, followed by the nobles and civil and military officials in the court. However, the expressions on everyone's faces are also different, and those who support Liu Fan are filled with happy smiles on everyone's faces, while those neutrals are hanging high. Whoever dies is not my expression, and those opposition are like dead parents. Standing there with a sad face, occasionally a smile on the corner of his mouth that was more ugly than crying.
But at this time, everyone naturally didn't care about this thing, after all, it was impossible to get everyone's consent to one thing. The matter of Liu Fan's rank will definitely be opposed by some royalists, but one of their things cannot decide anything now, and now both the political power and the military power are in the hands of Liu Fan's subordinates. But it's okay if someone is against it, it seems more normal this way, if they all agree, then Liu Fan has to wonder if there is a ghost in it. However, unlike the expressions on other people's faces, Emperor Ximenye's face was very excited at the moment, and he was finally going to unload this burden today. Ximen Ye knows very well that even if he gives up this throne, those generals in the army will not force him to give up this throne, and the struggle for power without the support of a gun is like a flat boat in the sea, without any sense of security at all.
"Chen Liu Fan, knock on Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Liu Fan saw Ximen Ye waiting at the door and hurriedly won it, even if he was going to be the emperor, but now he is not, he still has to pay attention to etiquette and etiquette. Liu Fan knelt down in front of Ximen Ye, and the generals and ministers behind him also knelt down in unison. Of course, Ximen Ye understands his own family affairs at this time, and of course he will not make a score at this time, after all, Liu Fan is behind the army of the entire Tianlong Empire, and he has to enter the army of the empire to serve, and now the army of the entire empire is Liu Fan's people, and without Liu Fan's support, he can be said to be unable to move an inch in the army.
"Okay, brother-in-law, let's go to the Taimiao, after paying tribute to the ancestors and ancestors, you are the new emperor of this empire, and if we don't leave, we will miss the auspicious time." Ximen Ye took Liu Fan's hand and boarded the royal carriage, and the generals hurriedly followed the carriage, and everyone's face was excited. Liu Fan smiled helplessly when he saw the expression on Ximen Ye's face, after all, he took someone else's throne, but he didn't care at all, as if this position had nothing to do with him.
"Brother-in-law, you promised me that after removing the throne, you can enter the army, and I want to go to the frontline of the army. The smile on Ximenye's face was still very full, but his tone was full of firmness, as if he was afraid that Liu Fan would not agree to him, and he deliberately emphasized to Liu Fan that he must go to the frontline of the army, must go to the battlefield to fight, and avenge the innocent death of the royal family.
"I would like you to go to the most dangerous places, but this is also subject to your sister's consent, and I am not sure that she will have to go to the front on your own. Liu Fan glanced at Ximen Ye lightly, to be honest, he didn't want Ximen Ye to appear in the army, although he was very confident in his control over the imperial army, but in case Ximen Ye had three long and two short on the battlefield, then Liu Fan couldn't tell even if he had eight long mouths, whether he was a disguised murder? Even if it wasn't, I'm afraid those scholars in the empire would not let him go, after all, he had ascended the throne. Simon Ye went to the army. Then hung up. Even if there is no relationship between these people, no one else will think so, will they?
Sure enough, as soon as Ximen Yan mentioned Ximenye's head, he lowered his head, but a trace of resoluteness quickly flashed in Ximenye's eyes, and then he glanced at Liu Fan solemnly, and Liu Fan understood what Ximen Ye wanted to do. There is no doubt that Ximen Ye wanted to persuade Ximen Yan, but Liu Fan also gave Ximen Ye an expression, that is, he couldn't help it. It's all up to you.
Everyone soon drove the carriage to the Taimiao, which is a place to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Tianlong Empire, where every emperor of the empire is enshrined, as well as some members of the royal family who have contributed to the empire. Ximen Ye took Liu Fan to appear in the temple, they respectfully walked into the temple, after a tribute to the ancestors, everyone walked out of the temple, and then they went to the rooftop to sacrifice to the heavens and the earth, and then returned to the Daming Hall to announce that Liu Fan was the new emperor of the empire.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Today, God is virtuous, and there is Liu Fan, a son of the royal family. In...... , everyone is looking forward to it, so the emperor of the Tianlong Empire dedicated to Emperor Ximen Ye decided to give the throne to Liu Fan, becoming the new emperor of the Tianlong Empire, honorific title, Shenwu Emperor!" When the paper of thousands of words was read, Liu Fan, who was originally a little drowsy, finally heard the last sentence, and then when Liu Fan had not yet reacted, the general eunuchs and palace maids took Liu Fan down, and soon the eunuchs and palace maids sent the prepared dragon robes to Liu Fan's body.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" When Liu Fan was pushed out by the palace maid, everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live to Liu Fan. Liu Fan is also the first time that the eldest girl has been on the sedan chair, and she used to think that she would not have stage fright when she became the emperor, but when it was really her turn, she found that she was still a little excited and speechless. Liu Fan glanced at the generals under his command, but fortunately, the generals here were all his own generals.
"Flatten. "Liu Fan finally started to speak, but this was also the first sentence Liu Fan said after he ascended the throne, and it was also the last sentence he said on the dragon chair on this day. Zhao Gao stood there and shouted loudly, if there is something to do, and if there is nothing to do, the words of retreating from the dynasty made Liu Fan finally find a sense of familiarity. Of course, it is impossible for everyone to retreat from the dynasty at this time, the new emperor ascends the throne, there are always many things to do, such as praising Liu Fan's merits, of course, these are all done by civil officials, and these praises should have been said by Liu Fan's subordinates, but at this time they were all snatched away by those nobles.
Liu Fan sat on the dragon chair, listening to his subordinates singing praises to himself without discipline, even Liu Fan felt that his old face was red. But I can't say that Liu Fan's heart is still very excited, Liu Fan finally understands why there are so many ministers in all dynasties, even if you are hard-hearted in such an environment, you can't resist the sugar-coated shells of these people. Liu Fan kept nodding, Liu Fan only now realized that Nima and these nobles are all talents, their kung fu is really not covered, and this kung fu is afraid that the generals under his command will not be able to keep up even if they are ten horses.
"Retreat from the dynasty!" When these people blew Liu Fan into the sky, Liu Fan himself was flushed, and he gestured to Zhao Gao slightly, and Zhao Gao also understood Liu Fan's words and announced his retreat. Everyone praised Liu Fan fiercely again, and then retreated one after another. Liu Fan walked to the back of the Daming Palace and breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly scolded that this emperor is really not something that anyone can be if he wants to, at least you don't need to ensure a sober mind, otherwise you will be praised a few times and you can't find the southeast and northwest, then the matter will be a big deal.
"My lord, there is a military situation from Bingzhou, they have already dealt with the army of the barbarians, Yuan Chonghuan sent intelligence that they are completely different from before, whether it is the combat effectiveness of the army or the execution of the army. Guo Jia took the information in his hand and said to Liu Fan with a solemn face: "The current situation in Bingzhou is not very clear, Yuan Chonghuan hopes that we will continue to transfer some cavalry troops to him, so that they can gain a certain advantage in the battle of the barbarians." β
"How many cavalry are we able to draw at the moment?"
"In addition to the Imperial Forest Army of the Imperial Family, there are also the strength of the three cavalry divisions in Yang Qiming's corps in the north, with a total of 450,000 cavalry troops. Wang Jian stood beside Liu Fan, thought about it, and reported to Liu Fan: "However, if we want to transfer the cavalry of Yang Qiming's corps in the north, the attack intensity they maintain will be reduced. β
"The attack intensity of the Northern Corps cannot be reduced, so let Yang Qiming find a way to continue to recruit 100,000 cavalry from the alien races in the north to fight in Bingzhou, and send the cavalry division of the Royal Forest Army to Bingzhou, since we have captured Bingzhou City, we must continue to maintain strong pressure on the barbarians. β
"My lord, in this way, the defense work of our imperial capital may be necessary?"
"Don't worry, now the Imperial Capital Corps is guarding the Imperial Capital, as long as we have them, we don't have to worry about our own safety. Liu Fan waved his hand and said to Wang Qian, Wang Jian nodded and walked down, and the whole army went to battle. (To be continued......)
