Yang Feng looked back at the team behind him, although it had been eighteen days since he set off, the team was still marching at a neat pace, and the formation was not the slightest messy, which showed that Gou Xingma and the others were not lazy, but were able to train according to the infantry drill code issued by themselves, which was the most satisfying thing for him.

After setting out from Jinling, although the winter march was relatively difficult, the troops were still able to march at a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers a day, and in just 18 days, the troops covered a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers, and not a single one was left behind, which is enough to show the quality of this unit.

Yang Feng can even guarantee that a team like the Jiang Ning Army of Nuo Da Ming will not be able to find a second team at all, even if it is a new army trained by Lu Xiangsheng.

Because this not only includes modern training methods and adequate nutritional intake, but also requires long-term and arduous training of soldiers, which is also lacking in the troops of this era.

Among the large armies that accompanied him this time, there were the Jinling East Route Army (7th Battalion), Yan Di's Western Route Army (8th Battalion), Guanghai's Southern Route Army (9th Battalion), Cao Yingyu's 3rd Cavalry Battalion, Li Ge's Baggage Battalion and 3rd Medical Battalion, totaling more than 23,800 people.

And the person who led the third medical battalion was not someone, it was Xu Ling, who was teased by Yang Feng as a rookie nurse a few years ago.

To say that Xu Ling was also born in an official eunuch family, and later the family committed an accident and fell into the Qinglou, and was rescued by Yang Feng.

When she first entered the medical camp, Xu Ling was just a rookie who didn't know anything, after more than four years of hard study and study, her medical skills have improved very quickly, and she is also quite good at management, so she was appointed by Yang Feng as the deputy commander of the medical battalion this year, and was transferred back to Jiangning Wei as the third commander of the medical battalion last month.

In this march, except for the cavalry accident, all the foot soldiers were on foot, and the hard work can be imagined, but Jiang Ningwei's sergeants have undergone long-term training, plus the nutrition is very good, and the physical fitness of the sergeants is very good, and this long-distance march did not have much impact on them.

Moreover, on this expedition, both officers and sergeants were full of confidence in victory.

Who is Yang Feng? He is recognized as the god of war by the Ming Dynasty, and he has not tasted defeat since he joined the army, and even the vicious Manchu Tartars, the Spaniards and the Dutch with sharp firearms have been wiped out by him.

Because Yang Feng's prestige was so high, everyone was proud to follow him on the expedition, and the sergeants were able to maintain high morale all the way over.

Now the march of the army is in a long snake-like formation, with the 7th Battalion and the 3rd Cavalry Battalion as the vanguard, the baggage battalion, the artillery battalion and the medical battalion in the middle, and the 8th and 9th battalions in the rear, and the whole army is advancing rapidly.

However, although the march of the troops was relatively smooth, Yang Feng was not without headaches.

A total of about 25,000 personnel were dispatched for this expedition, plus the mules and horses of the baggage battalion and the cavalry battalion, a total of 13,000 livestock, according to the daily consumption of one liter (about 1.5 catties) of grain per soldier and three liters (about 4.5 catties) of grain per day for mules and horses, the army needs to consume nearly 100,000 catties of grain every day, (so it is no joke to say that the army eats 91 hills of grain every day).

The food carried by the baggage battalion was only enough for the army to eat for a month, and now after nearly 20 days' journey, the army only has 12 days of food left, so it has become a top priority to find a place to replenish food.

Of course, of course, our Yang Daguan can get a large amount of food to directly supplement the troops through modern society, but this situation is a last resort, but generally Yang Feng will not do this, especially on the way to the army, the impact of this is too great, and it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, Yang Feng looked ahead, "Let the army speed up and strive to arrive in Kaifeng City before dark, and let's go into the city to visit King Fu." ”

"Understood!"

With Yang Feng's order, the team gradually increased its speed, and after hurrying and catching up, the army finally came to the north gate of Luoyang City at dusk.

It's just that when they just came to the outside of the city, they saw that the outside of the city was already densely packed with officials and soldiers, and when they saw the arrival of the Jiangning army, a crackling firecracker sounded.

Soon, a Bai general who was a pioneer in front came to Yang Feng and reported: "Grandpa Guo, the prince of Fuwangfu led Henan Governor Yin Luzhong, the political envoy Lu Dayou, the envoy Yue An and the Luoyang General Soldier Zhou came to greet him. ”

"Everyone, people have come out to greet us, we can't lose our courtesy, and we all hurry over with our father." After listening to Mr. Bai's words, Yang Feng was not hypocritical, and led the generals to meet him after dismounting.

Soon, after everyone came to the city gate, they saw a young man in his twenties wearing a python robe, surrounded by more than a dozen officials, standing at the city gate, curiously looking at Yang Feng and the generals who were coming in front of him.

Seeing Yang Feng's arrival, several officials originally planned to step forward to greet them, but when they saw that the prince who took the lead was actually standing motionless, many people could only stop when they were about to move.

The young man standing in the middle wearing a python robe was Zhu Yousong, the prince of Fuwangfu, at this moment, he looked curiously at Yang Feng and his party walking towards them for a while, and couldn't help but smile at the people beside him: "I often heard that Jiang Ningjun is all dressed in green robes, I always thought it was a rumor, but I never thought it was true." ”

I thought that after I spoke, a group of people would echo me, but I didn't think that there was silence around me.

"Ahem......"

Yin Luzhong, the governor of Henan, coughed lightly and said: "Shizi, after all, the person who came is the prince of Xinguo who was sealed by His Majesty, but it is inappropriate for the prince to talk about the prince of the dynasty in such a tone." Besides, Xin Guogong is here to help me Henan this time, and the prince should not despise the other party too much. ”

"What are you afraid of, it's just a new prince." Zhu Yousong snorted lightly, but after all, he didn't say anything, I saw him put his hand on his back, just waiting for Yang Feng and the others to come over.

After Yang Feng and his party came over, they saw that the young man who was obviously the prince of the Fuwang Mansion was actually standing there with a big grin, without the slightest sign of moving, and many of the generals' faces changed color in unison.

When he was about ten steps away from Zhu Yousong and the others, Yang Feng stopped and didn't say a word, but just looked at the other party silently.

Seeing Yang Feng and the others stop, Zhu Yousong's face also changed a little, the reason why he didn't step forward to greet him just now was that he wanted to give Yang Feng a dismount in front of everyone, but he didn't think that the other party would take him with a backhand without hesitation.
