Royal study room.

Everyone dispersed, but Emperor Qing kept Fan Jian.

"What do you think about today's events?" Emperor Qing picked up the arrowhead, but he had no intention of sharpening it.

Pick up and put down.

Then he stood up, walked out of the courtyard and looked into the distance.

That is the direction of Jiangnan.

Privately, in front of Emperor Qing, Fan Jian was always casual.

"The prince will definitely defeat the Japanese pirates," he replied.

Hearing this, Emperor Qing looked back at him and laughed:
"That's a little bit false."

Fan Jian smiled and didn't respond.

It does feel a bit fake.

However, we can't tell him directly that we may have no chance of winning this battle.

"I asked the Crown Prince to form a naval force of 100,000. Do the civil and military officials in the court have major objections?" asked Emperor Qing.

Fan Jian nodded, "Yes, he is the crown prince after all, and it is not appropriate for him to hold military power."

Hearing this, Emperor Qing flicked his sleeves with a bit of anger.

“Every one of them is trash!
Jiangnan was invaded by Japanese pirates, and no one dared to fight them.

Cowardly, afraid of death and responsibility.

The prince volunteered to fight, vowing not to return until the Japanese pirates were wiped out. He was not afraid of life or death, and was willing to serve the country and plead for the people.

But these people started jumping out, chattering and chattering, endlessly.

The Crown Prince holds the military power, I am not worried, so why should they worry? "

Emperor Qing became angrier as he spoke.

As the saying goes, one step back opens up a new world.

But, taking a step back, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Emperor Qing was wearing a loose robe. He waved his sleeves domineeringly and said:

"Pass my order to the Inspection Office to monitor all officials. Anyone who criticizes the Crown Prince will be imprisoned and sent to the Sky Prison!"

"Yes!"

The old eunuch took the order and left.

Fan Jian just watched quietly without saying a word, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

Emperor Qing gave such an order in front of him, who was a big shot around him in the eyes of the outside world. I'm afraid there was some other meaning behind it.

The intention is to tell everyone in Kyoto that I have no suspicion towards the prince.

This is a means to win people's hearts and minds, and also to appease the military and the people.

This allows Crown Prince Li Chengqian to fight this battle with confidence without any worries.

The cold wind blew on his face and Emperor Qing's hair flew.

This supreme ruler has his sights set on unifying the world and ascending to the sky.

In order to achieve this goal, he can do whatever it takes.

After more than ten years of planning, the emergence of Japanese pirates has subtly affected his plan.

"What do you think the prince's chances of winning this battle are?"

Emperor Qing has always been unsure about this issue.

I kept Fan Jian here just to ask for his opinion.

Then he added, "Tell the truth."

Fan Jian was about to say something perfunctory, but he was suddenly choked.

It’s not good to be too familiar with each other, there are no secrets.

"After all, the 100,000-man navy was just formed and has no experience in water combat, so it does not have much combat effectiveness.

With the help of the Beggars' Sect, even if there are about 150,000 troops, I'm afraid they will have no chance of winning against 50,000 elite Japanese pirates."

Fan Jian spoke his true thoughts.

"Is it not possible even if we add the massacre army?" Emperor Qing asked.

Fan Jian shook his head, "The Human Slaughter Army is indeed extremely powerful, but they are just landlubbers.

Moreover, there are only 6,000 people.”

Emperor Qing fell silent. "Even you feel that there is no chance of winning this battle. It seems that the Crown Prince's chances of winning this battle are really hanging by a thread."

Fan Jian looked at Emperor Qing's back and asked:
"In your opinion, does your majesty have a chance of winning this battle?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing also fell silent.

The Imperial Study was built on the top of a mountain, and was surrounded by clouds and mist at first glance.

The entire capital city is under observation.

"No." Emperor Qing said in an inexplicable tone.

He added: "However, what I am worried about now is whether these 50,000 troops are just the vanguard."

Hearing this, Fan Jian's expression changed, "If this is true, I'm afraid Northern Qi will not let go of such a great opportunity."

Emperor Qing nodded.

This is exactly what he was worried about.

A 150,000-man army, even if it used human wave tactics, exchanging lives for lives, three for one, could certainly drive the Japanese pirates out to sea. However, once there were backup troops, the nature of the matter would change completely.

If this is true, Northern Qi will definitely not miss such a godsend opportunity.

In recent years, there have been frictions on the border between the two countries.

Although there were no large-scale battles, small-scale battles never stopped.

"It all depends on this first battle, whether the prince can win..." Emperor Qing whispered.

As they were talking, the old eunuch returned.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a list and requested that the above people be transferred to participate in the battle of Jiangnan."

"No need to look, it's accurate!" Emperor Qing waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Eunuch Hou took the list and left the imperial study.

Royal Villa.

Ye Ling'er and Lin Wan'er have been waiting for news from the palace.

Let's see who will be the Crown Princess in the end.

However, the two did not expect that the news they finally received was that the prince was about to go to the south of the Yangtze River with the emperor's sword.

"what?"

Upon hearing the news of the Japanese invasion, the two were shocked and stood up.

"When will the prince set off?" Lin Wan'er couldn't help but ask.

The person who came to deliver the message was from the Ye family.

The man replied: "The news from the palace is that Jiangnan is extremely urgent and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should leave immediately.

At this moment, we may be about to leave the city."

"Come on!"

Ye Ling'er pulled Lin Wan'er up and ran downstairs quickly.

Fortunately, Lin Wan'er's health has recovered a lot.

So, the two of them rode their horses straight towards the city gate.

In the palace.

East Palace.

Li Chengqian did not delay and returned to the East Palace. He gave an order and the four maids, leaving Chunmei behind, and the other three all set off.

In addition, he also brought twelve eunuchs.

Li Chengqian waved his hand and put the tank into the space.

This scene shocked everyone.

However, they are all trusted people and there is no need to worry about the news leaking out.

Get ready, lead the six officers of the Eastern Palace, and set off immediately.

The war in Jiangnan cannot be delayed.

One hundred thousand Beggars' Gang members fought bloody battles every day, using their flesh and blood to fight the Japanese pirates.

If it is one day later, many people will die.

At the same time, Xie Bian arrived.

Fan Xian arrived.

Lin Gong arrived.

Ten thousand black cavalry arrived.

Meet at the city gate.

"set off!"

Li Chengqian gave an order and rode out of the city.

Li Chengqian asked for a few people from that list.

Fan Xian, Lin Gong, and... Li Yunrui!

As for the ten thousand black cavalry, it was a temporary decision by Emperor Qing to send them to protect Li Chengqian.

High up in the palace.

Emperor Qing watched the prince leave in silence.

In the end, he just sighed, "I must come back alive!"

The news of the Japanese pirates' invasion had spread widely in Kyoto.

Countless people throughout Kyoto came to see him off.

The streets were crowded with people.

"It is a blessing for the people that our Qing Kingdom has this prince!"

Countless people sighed.

At the city gate.

When Lin Wan'er and Ye Ling'er arrived, they only saw dust flying.

"Come back alive!" Lin Wan'er shouted loudly.

Not sure if it was an illusion, Lin Wan'er saw Li Yunrui waving to her on horseback.

On horseback, Li Yunrui's face had become extremely dark.

She and Li Chengqian rode together, the horse was shaking and her body was shaking constantly.

She felt as if her breasts were about to fly out.
