The sun shone on the street of Zhengyangmen, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the pacesetters standing on both sides of the street like rocks. The tall body, resolute gaze and exactly the same standing posture shocked everyone present.

Looking at these motionless pacesetters, many people suddenly realized that the sentence that this good man is not a soldier does not seem to be entirely true, and it seems that it is not bad if he can be such a soldier. However, unlike the mood of the people, the mood of many civilian officials is much more complicated, in order to suppress the military for more than 200 years, civilian officials have done everything they can, slander, rumor-mongering, salary and other means have emerged in an endless stream, the purpose is to engrave the phrase good men are not soldiers into the hearts of all the people, but they suddenly found today that these soldiers are just going to this station to shake the concept of all the people.

Just when everyone had different hearts, Yang Feng, who was riding on the horse, shouted loudly.

"Jiang Ningwei has all of them...... Column......"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

With Yang Feng's order, the entire street fell silent again, and there was a sound of ear-to-ear exchanges on the street.

No...... Not silent, but soon a slow, dull voice rang out.

Although the sound was unpleasant, it was unusually stable, and as the sound sounded, many people felt that the ground under their feet was faintly shaking.

"Click...... Click...... Click......"

Many people couldn't help but look at each other after feeling the shaking of the ground under their feet, what the hell was going on, why were these sounds so strange, and the faces of some people who knew how to do it changed, because it was the sound of many people walking together, and it was just because it was too neat that the ground shook.

Soon, gasps and exclamations began to rise one after another, for from the east came an unusually neat phalanx, all dressed in iron armor and helmets, with red tassels fluttering in the wind, and all the sergeants carrying "brown Bes" flintlock muskets with bayonets on their shoulders. The most shocking thing is that this team is unusually neat even when it travels, whether it is horizontally or diagonally, it is all in a straight line, which is amazing.

The first phalanx that came over was the Jiangdongmen Qianhusuo phalanx under Jiang Ningwei, which adopted a 25*14 formation, plus two flag guards and one flag bearer in front of the phalanx, a total of 353 people. Walking in front of the phalanx and holding high the sun and moon flag was Geng Bingyi, the new Qianhu who had just arrived from the Jiangdong Gate Qianhu the day before yesterday, and the sabers guarding Geng Bingyi were Baihu Chu Maoguang and Gou Xingma.

As the phalanx at the forefront, they undoubtedly received the most attention and gaze, thousands of eyes were on them almost at the same time, and people with a slightly worse psychological quality would not be able to stand it under such attention.

What I want to say here is that there is no national flag in the Ming Dynasty, but it can't be represented by the emperor's dragon flag, so Yang Feng temporarily sewed a national flag exclusive to the Ming Dynasty, the flag is all in red color, and a round of yellow sun and a round of bright moon echo each other in the middle of the flag.

The bright red flag is particularly eye-catching under the reflection of the newborn. At this time, a gust of wind blew the flag to hunt, and the sun and moon on it clearly reflected in the eyes of everyone, giving everyone an illusion that this flag and the people under the flag are so powerful, they are indestructible and invincible, everyone can defeat them, and there is a great power and an invincible belief in them. This feeling is very strange, and it can only be understood beyond words, but it just gives people such an impression that the hundreds of thousands of people present can feel it.

Zhu Youxiao, who was standing on the tower of the city gate, trembled a little with excitement as he looked at the phalanx striding forward, and a feeling suddenly surged in his heart: This is my army, they are my most loyal and brave soldiers, as long as I give an order, whether it is to go to the soup or they will not hesitate.

Just when Zhu Youxiao's mind was thinking, he saw Geng Bingyi, who was walking in the front, shouting.

"Look to the right...... Even! ”

At this time, Geng Bingyi happened to walk in front of Yang Feng, only to see Yang Feng's right hand shake, and the saber on his waist was already out of the sheath with a "brush", and the saber that flashed the cold light hit his right shoulder with a snap, and Chu Maoguang and Gou Xingma were doing the same action with Yang Feng.

The phalanx armed with "brown bass" flintlock pistols and the sergeants took off the "brown bass" flintlock pistols on their shoulders and changed them to side guns. The "Brown Bes" flintlock pistol is pointed diagonally upwards and horizontally to the left side of the body. The sharp bayonet was less than a fist away from the sergeant in front. At the same time, their pace was changed to a positive step, and everyone's feet were raised high, and every time they fell, they made a snapping sound, and while doing this, everyone's head was turned to the right.

"Whoa......

When the team walked to Zhu Youxiao, Yang Feng, who was riding on a horse, suddenly pointed the saber in his hand at the sky and shouted with all his strength: "Daming Wansheng!" ”

As soon as Yang Feng's words fell, all the sergeants in the phalanx also shouted loudly at the same time.

"Daming Wansheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Everyone was stunned by this scene, and Zhu Youxiao could swear that this was the most shocking scene he had ever seen in his life. With his glittering bayonets, neat steps, sassy heroic posture and resolute expression, and fearless gaze, Zhu Youxiao was sure that he would always remember today's scene until the last moment of his life.

Just when Zhu Youxiao was so excited that his body trembled a little, he suddenly felt that his palm was held by a warm and soft little hand, he didn't need to look at it to know that this was comfort from Zhang Yan, he took a deep breath and glanced at Zhang Yan before continuing to watch.

The sergeant of the first phalanx walked until he was more than 300 meters away from the city gate tower, and then he walked back to his normal step.

"Ready...... Walk ......"

The first phalanx has not yet finished, the second phalanx has come, and the flag officer who walks in front of the second phalanx is Huang Zhenye, this Qianhu from Shenchi Fort has become a qualified officer after the tempering of the first battle in Liaodong, and today he is also wearing iron armor all over his body, holding the sun and moon flag in front of the phalanx.

There are a total of twelve infantry phalanxes today, the first three phalanxes are led by a thousand households or deputy thousand households, and the infantry phalanx at the back is led by a hundred households, until the twelve infantry phalanxes passed, and several cavalry phalanxes came behind them, although this cavalry phalanx is not as neat as the infantry phalanx in the queue, but the plate armor made of stainless steel, the red cloak, the red tassel on the top of the head and the long horse pistol all show their strength.

The artillery phalanx was the last to pass, and in terms of numbers, the number of artillery phalanxes was the smallest, and Jiang Ningwei's 120 artillery pieces formed only three phalanxes, and each phalanx had only 40 guns. But when those swarthy cannons slowly drove past the city gatehouse, many hereditary warriors could not be calm.

These hereditary martial artists may have evolved into silver-only waste, but anyone who knows a little about artillery knows how cumbersome artillery is today. The artillery, which often weighed thousands of pounds, could only be used to defend the city, and it could not be dragged around by a horse like the artillery in front of them, and some sensitive people immediately realized that these light artillery pieces were too important for the army.

The leader of the artillery phalanx is Qiu Disheng, who used to eat fat and fat Jiangpu Qianhu Qianhu has now successfully lost weight, from 180 pounds to more than 130 pounds, with his weight loss Chengdu, in later generations can already be used to play inspirational advertising.

When the last phalanx had passed, the street was silent for a while, and then suddenly there was a deafening cheer.

Many people jumped and screamed with excitement, whether they were men, women, young and old, even the most restrained people were red with excitement, and the whole street was filled with earth-shattering laughter, screams and all kinds of strange screams, and the people were using this way to vent their inner excitement.

Compared with the excited Lao Baixin, the expressions on the faces of the civil officials standing on the tower of the city gate were very exciting. Gu Bingqian, Huang and other pavilion elders, who were following closely behind Zhu Youxiao, glanced at each other, and their faces were all silent.

And the imperial historians and speech officials in the middle and end of the line were not very good-looking, and many people's faces became ugly, and Jiang Ningjun behaved more brilliantly, and their attack on Yang Feng was so stupid and incompetent. Judging from the performance of the Jiangning army just now, the performance of this army can be called extremely amazing, and it can be said unceremoniously that if the Ming Dynasty has more guards like this, I am afraid that the situation in Liaodong will be completely improved.

No matter how ignorant the civilian officials are, they also know that the mental outlook of an army often determines its combat effectiveness. A listless army, even if equipped with advanced weapons, is still worrisome in combat effectiveness, take the Ming army now stationed in Liaodong as an example. The weapon level of the Ming army is actually not worse than that of the Houjin army, but why is there so much difference in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, the reason is that the training level of the soldiers on both sides and the difference in their will to fight are too large.

For the lax discipline of the Ming army, most of them served as soldiers just to make ends meet. If the top can pay enough silver, they can exert sixty percent of their combat power, if they only pay fifty percent of the silver, they can exert thirty percent of their combat power at most, if they don't pay silver, then they are embarrassed, as soon as the battle starts, they will immediately turn around and run.

It's okay for the soldiers to fight for the money, but as the old saying goes. The soldiers are blazing, and the Ming court and generals who have rotted to the bones are the biggest culprits that led to the decline of the Ming army. The reason why the Ming army in the early Ming Dynasty was invincible was because the Ming army at that time, whether it was a general or a soldier, could see hope. Generals can be promoted and knighted for meritorious service, and soldiers can also become officials after meritorious service, and there is no constraint from the civilian clique, so everyone's strength can be used in one place when the war starts.

The most typical thing is that at that time, after soldiers or officers made meritorious contributions, the Ministry of War would send verification officers to the place where they made meritorious contributions to investigate and visit, and only after they found out that the Ministry of War would reward the officers and soldiers who made meritorious contributions. But the current promotion channels of the Ming army are all controlled by civilian officials and upper-level generals, and promotions are all based on gifts and silver, and people without background are rarely promoted even if they make great contributions.

Take Yang Feng as an example, last year he cut so many heads in Liaodong, but in the end he was forced to give most of the generals in Liaodong, if this kind of thing was changed to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, up to Sun Chengzong, it was decreed that all the generals in Liaodong would be removed from their posts or even beheaded.

The irony of the world is that if a white swan suddenly appears in a flock of chickens, then the swan will not attract admiration or affection, but is likely to bring hatred and even jealousy to himself.

It can be said that after today's military parade, the popularity of Yang Feng and the Jiangning Army under his command is soaring at a balloon-like speed, and the people of the capital are running to tell each other, it can be said that Yang Feng's popularity in the hearts of the people in the capital is rapidly expanding, but at the same time, the magnates or civil and military officials in the capital also remember Yang Feng's name, and many Donglin Party people who had only heard his name firmly remembered Yang Feng and regarded him as a great enemy.

As soon as the parade ended, Yang Feng, who had not had time to change his clothes when he returned to the school ground, received a decree from the eunuch in the palace to bring Zhu Youxiao, announcing that he would go to court the next day.

For Yang Feng, the last dynasty was a new thing, but it was just a new thing, but what he didn't expect was that his women were more anxious about this kind of thing than him. After knowing that Yang Feng was going to the court the next day, they began to prepare after dinner. Official robes, jade belts, official hats, official boots, jade pendants, and other things are all properly prepared.

What made Yang Feng feel the most painful was that Hai Lanzhu woke him up when he was sleeping soundly. When he opened his eyes, he almost didn't faint, and it was just over half the hour, that is, four o'clock in the morning.

It's just that before Yang Feng lost his temper, he was dragged up by Hai Lanzhu, Zheng Tuoniang, Zhezhe, and Da Yuer, and forced him to wash and eat something, and then asked Song Ye and other family members to "escort" him to the court.

Yang Feng, who was riding on a horse, looked at the still dark sky, and only felt that life had become ruthless, where did people do such a day, even if it was given to an emperor, he wouldn't do it.

Looking at the listless and swaying Yang Feng, Song Ye, who was following him closely, had to whisper to several family members next to him to protect him in the middle to prevent their boss from falling off the horse, otherwise if it was rumored that General Yang, who had just returned from Liaodong victoriously and was in the limelight in yesterday's military parade, actually fell from his horse on the way to the court and was injured, such a joke would be a big joke.
