Chapter 276: Killing and sacrifice flag

There are many factors that determine the outcome of a war, such as the right time, place, harmony of people, morale of the army, the bravery of the soldiers, the wisdom of the commander, the competition of national strength, etc.

Sometimes, soldiers carrying the commander's flag accidentally fell and could lead to morale collapse and the entire army was defeated.

In the eyes of big men, war is a game for adults. The soldiers fighting desperately on the battlefield are all chess pieces under the big men. They watched the chess pieces fight each other, bleeding and sacrifice with interest, but they were still as stable as Mount Tai and remained unmoved. In their eyes, there were only the interests after the victory of the war or the outcome after the failure. As for the fate of the chess pieces, it was a pity that the big men had to worry about too much and couldn't care about it.

Xiao Fan is a great man. He is the marquis of Qinfeng. He is the commander of the Jinyiwei commander. He is also the general officer who has just won the rebellion. He holds the power of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. With his order, these hundreds of thousands of people can fully implement Xiao Fan's will and roar and destroy everything he wants to destroy.

But he could not ignore the life and death of thousands of living beings, and could not use other people's lives as pawns like other big men in exchange for their own interests. The concept of equality in the past life has penetrated into his bones. In his opinion, the lowly life in the eyes of big men is also a living life. After taking off all his clothes and soaking in the bathhouse, everyone is the same, and big men may not necessarily have a little brother.

Before going to the war, Xiao Fan was in a heavy mood. He knew how cruel and tragic the war was. Last time he only brought three thousand weak brigades, and he vowed to bring back a lot of them. This was precisely because of his respect for life. But this time, hundreds of thousands of troops would die when they went on the war? How could he have no casualties? No gods could do it?

Xiao Fan never thought that he would have such a glorious day. He originally thought that he would stay in the Chen family in Jiangpu, leisurely and happily in front of the shopkeeper of the small restaurant, ignoring the rolling eyes and disdain of others, and willingly becoming the son-in-law of the Chen family. Maybe he would give birth to a man and half a woman with Chen Ying'er in the future, and he would have a little fantasy and put Baoqin in the room. From then on, the two girls served a husband until they were in groups of children and grandchildren around their knees. Finally, the sun sets, and in the twilight years, he lay in bed with his eyes closed, smiling in the spring, and ending his ordinary and simple life.

Fate seems to have never allowed time travelers to live too ordinary. Xiao Fan cannot help himself in the huge waves of fate. Whether it is abilities or luck, he actually reached this prominent and noble position. Looking back on his journey, he himself felt a little confused.

Who is happy to live at a height of the temple or to be far away from the rivers and lakes?

Xiao Fan may not be able to measure and compare this problem in his life, because it happened and he will never go back to the past. His appearance changed the history of the Ming Dynasty, but he could not change his history again.

Now Xiao Fan is the closest relative of the emperor as his brother, the Qin-peng Marquis Chengyi, the supreme commander of the Jinyiwei, the most insidious and cruel iron-blooded institution, and the general officer who was the attention of all the people of the Ming Dynasty...

He is young and twenty-six, but he is the real number one in power in the Ming Dynasty. His halo on his head is even more dazzling than the angels. When he goes to heaven, God has to worship him.

Zhu Di rebelled on the ninth day of the third month. The court did not assemble the main army on the north bank of the Yangtze River until March 25. Everything was ready. Xiao Fan should set off. This time, not only fight for the emperor, but also his wife and family behind him.

Wifes are all good wives, very caring and virtuous.

After learning that Xiao Fan had been appointed as the general of the rebellion, the four of them hugged their heads in the wing room and cried bitterly.

In this era when cold weapons are prevalent, it is tantamount to a family to go to the battlefield. The Tang poem says, "How many people have returned from war since ancient times?" This is definitely a realistic picture of war, not an exaggeration.

"My husband, would you please resign from the emperor? "Huangyue pulled Xiao Fan's sleeve and cried like a little cat.

Jiangdu also cried and said, "Yes, my husband is a civil servant and a Jinshi. What does it have to do with you when leading troops to fight? If you are embarrassed to speak to the emperor, I am the eldest sister of the emperor. I will tell the emperor that he would ask him to invite Gao Ming, okay?"

Zhang Hongqiao was covered in tears and nodded constantly with tears in his face.

Chen Ying'er lowered her head and sighed quietly.

Xiao Fan felt uncomfortable and forced a smile and comforted him: "Don't worry, madam, my luck has always been very good, this time is no exception, there will be no problem..."

Huamei cried even harder: "You still want to lie to me, there is no luck on the battlefield, that's hard..."

Xiao Fan shook his head and smiled, "I am the commander of the three armies, so there is no need to fight to the death."

"Don't believe it!" said the four women together.

Xiao Fan had to explain patiently: "For the general, charge in the battle and take the general's head among millions of troops. It is a very dangerous job. For the general, you only need to plan and win a thousand miles in the big tent. In other words, I, as a general, only need to come up with ideas in the big tent. How to fight is the business of the soldiers under my command. If you can beat me, you will get away..."

The four women were stunned: "General officer... is so easy to be?"

Xiao Fan nodded seriously: "The commander of the three armies is that simple!"

Jiang Du has been acquainted with words since he was a child, and his knowledge is more abundant than theirs. He was so angry that he stomped his feet and said angrily: "You go and cheat! Are we sisters all fools? If you can beat us, you can fight, and if you can't beat you, you can run away. How can you be the head coach be so easy?"

Xiao Fan looked even more serious: "I don't know why others are the head coach. Anyway, I'm just like this. The enemy is in trouble. I go up and stomp hard. The enemy is too powerful. I turn my head and run away. It's a war. Just achieve the purpose of physical exercise. There's no need to play with my life. You think this is the reason?"

The four women had tears on their faces, but they couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Du smiled and sighed: "I should have called the emperor to listen to your words. If he knew that you had such thoughts, he would have removed you, the general officer without saying a word..."

Qiao Ran gave him a blank look, and Zhang Hongqiao said quietly: "You must cherish yourself when you go there and never go on the battle yourself. Now you are a noble person, a son of a daughter, and you cannot sit down. Think twice about everything. When making any decision, think about us more often. You are the pillar of your family, and you must not be reckless and reckless..."

Jiang Du continued: "Also, just focus on fighting. Don't find a sister for us. There are not many wing rooms in the house, so I'm afraid we can't live in so many people. With you, the four sisters are all very happy, but there is no need for other women to give her happiness..."

Xiao Fan nodded quickly, then raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly: "I will definitely not give happiness to you anymore, but I can give others comfort..."

The four women changed color: "…………”

Xiao Fan laughed loudly, spread his hands, hugged the four women, and the five of them walked towards the main wing room.

"My husband, I'm going to go to war tomorrow. I'll make you comfortable one by one tonight. Feed you so that you can feel comfortable enough at once..."

The three girls were so ashamed that they blushed and stamped their feet, and were very coquettish. They were so happy that they smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"

Xiao Fan paused and immediately changed his words: "...The thrush doesn't count, just move a chair outside the door and listen to it."

Huanmei was so anxious that she stamped her feet and said, "I'm fifteen, my husband, I can, I'm fifteen..."

"Not even fifteen, I will come back to take you back after I win this battle... Red Bridge, I don't know much about it. What is the meaning of "The Twenty-Four Bridges, where can the jade man teaches the flute to play the flute"? Come, close the door, explain it to me carefully, it is best to explain it yourself..."

A panting and moaning echoed in the Xiao Mansion's wing soon...

a long time……

Amid the squeaking movement, Jiang Du gasped and said, "Ah... I'm dying... My husband, the army is hard, and I'm not allowed to take women to the battle. No matter how uncomfortable my husband is, he has to hold it in. Don't learn from those meritorious playboys. Do that... A man's style is not the king after all..."

The squeaking sound in the room stopped immediately.

Chen Ying'er exclaimed: "Ah! Why is my husband... soft?"

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and burst out from his teeth word by word: "Jiangdu... I will explain to me what is 'Where is the jade man teaching the flute to play'!"

“…………”

The first year of Jianwen, March 26th.

The horse farm in the western suburbs of the capital was covered with flags and flew in the wind. Tens of thousands of soldiers wearing black leaf armor lined up in neat rows and stood in the horse farm. Although it was quiet and silent, it exuded a solemn atmosphere of soaring into the sky, and the sky seemed to be gloomy.

Tens of thousands of people in the capital surrounded outside the horse farm, looking at the group of fierce soldiers who looked terrifying and frightening, as if they felt the faint murderous intent they exuded, and the eyes of the people gradually became awe.

Zhu Yunwen specially selected these 10,000 people from the imperial guards of the palace and left to Xiao Fan as the imperial guards. Today, Xiao Fan, the general of the general who fought against rebellion, swore to the north here to attack Yan Ni.

A golden sunlight suddenly bloomed in the gray sky. Under the sun, the black armor of the guards seemed to be covered with a golden halo, like a heavenly soldier and general. When the people saw this strange phenomenon, they all exclaimed and looked more and more awe.

At noon, nine whips outside the horse farm sounded, and the gongs were in the way. The brocaded soldiers were wearing fresh clothes and holding ceremonial knife. Behind the soldiers were countless dragon flags of the emperor, scepter, golden gourd, squad hammers and other ceremonial guards. Behind them were the golden jade chariot carried by sixteen people. Surrounded by more than a hundred eunuchs, they slowly walked towards the horse farm.

Seeing this ceremonial war, the people knew that the Emperor of Ming was here, and they all gave in and hid, knelt on both sides of the road, leaned on the ground and bowed, shouting long live.

When he arrived at the horse farm, the jade chariot stopped. Zhu Yunwen, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked off the chariot. Xiao Fan, who had already been guarding the stadium, bowed to the emperor to pay homage to the emperor.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and ordered everyone to calm down, then looked at Xiao Fan in front of him carefully.

Today, Xiao Fan is dressed in a very good look. He wears a silver-white phoenix-winged helmet and a finely made of white fine iron armor. Compared with his elegant and weak attitude before, he has added a bit of heroism today.

Zhu Yunwen looked at it for a while and couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart: "So handsome, I, a man from the Ming Dynasty, should be like you..."

"Your Majesty is praising me so much..."

"If I dress like you, I will definitely be more handsome than you..."

"Or... I will take off this armor to you and go to the front line to fight?" Xiao Fan was very understanding.

Zhu Yunwen's face turned pale and he suddenly looked up at the sky: "Ah! What a violent sunshine..."

"Your Majesty, today is cloudy, no matter how much aria you can't get out of the sun..."

…………

…………

Then comes the oath procedure.

First, Xiao Fan recited a proclamation to fight against rebellion in front of the soldiers, and then Zhu Yunwen announced that Yan rebelled and was a tyrant. The imperial court attacked him as a destiny. He was famous in his army and encouraged his soldiers to fight bravely to boost morale. He promised to reward the soldiers who had been rewarded after a great victory.

Then the eunuch read out the imperial edict, and ordered Xiao Fan to lead the troops of the world. All the garrisons and thousands of households in the Ming Dynasty must comply with the dispatch of generals. If there is any violation of the order, they will be killed. Zhu Yunwen gave General Xiao Fan the seal and tiger talisman in front of the soldiers and the people. Finally, the military supervisor read out the military law.

Everything was going in an orderly manner. When the oath-taking process was almost over, Xiao Fan suddenly squeezed his eyes at Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen was stunned, then coughed several times, and nodded uneasyly.

Xiao Fan then stood up and shouted: "According to the rules, the imperial court will promote the king's army and eliminate the traitors, and must kill the priests and sacrifice flags, use the cold enemy's courage to drum up the army..."

As he said that, Xiao Fan turned his head and shouted behind him: "Come on the son of the thief!"

The personal army responded and escorted three people to the rank of the general platform. Everyone inside and outside the horse farm were stunned... Are these Yan Ni's three sons?

The ministers standing behind Zhu Yunwen sighed, "How cruel did Yan Ni offend you? Why can't he get along with Yan Ni's son?"

The personal army bent his knees toward the three of them, and the three of them pounced and knelt down towards the soldiers.

The three of them were so scared that their faces were pale, and they lowered their heads and said nothing, but their bodies were shaking like sieves, and cold sweats on their foreheads were coming out in a bunch of ways.

They knew very well what the killing and sacrificial flag meant. With one knife, their blood would be stained with the military flag, and then... there would be nothing.

Unexpectedly, their father said so clearly in the launching manifesto that Xiao Fan, a brave guy, dared to kill them, wouldn't he be afraid of his father's desperate efforts?

The drums on the horse court were pounding, and the three of them looked more and more desperate. The executioner behind them had raised their swords. As soon as the drums stopped, their heads fell to the ground.

Beads of sweat as big as beans flowed down, mixed with tears and trembling, and the faces of the three of them were distorted as if they were extremely afraid.

The sound of drums seemed to hit everyone's hearts, and everyone was nervously staring at Xiao Fan, who looked cold on the stage.

Suddenly, the drum sounded abruptly.

The three of them trembled suddenly as if they were electrocuted. Zhu Gaochi was the first to cry out loud, and his white and fat body collapsed to the ground like a soft face.

"Wuwu... Give me your life! I don't want to die... What does it have to do with our father's rebellion? Are you not reasonable? Dad gave me such a handsome man, how could I die..."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui also cried out, with an expression of extreme fear and reluctance.

Xiao Fan curled his lips, then murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "The time has come, you can set off! Behead and sacrifice the flag!"

The three of them roared in despair.
To be continued...
