"Hello parishioners!"

Yang Feng stood on the tower of Chengtianmen City, waving his hand and shouting below.

"Immortal Venerable is good!"

The soldiers who walked in the line below shouted in unison.

All the soldiers wore red half-length shirts on their right sides, black leggings underneath, black cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles underneath, yellow slanted shoulder straps, and belts flanked by bayonets, water bottles, cowhide bullet boxes, first aid kits, and the like, but there were no helmets on their heads, but a large bamboo hat for each person.

The main reason is that Yang Feng's steel is not enough.

Although he can ask Xiaoqian to provide steel, the processing capacity here is also limited.

This is the second brigade of the Holy Religious Army, the number of the first brigade is Yang Zhong's department, he and Wang Cong'er have expanded to a cavalry brigade and three infantry brigades, together to form the first town of the Holy Religious Army, Yang Zhong is the commander, and Wang Cong'er is similar to the political commissar of the patriarch, this is the establishment of Yang Feng, each town has a patriarch, the brigade has a guide, the battalion has a guide, and the post has a head of teaching, as for the team and the gang level, there is no need to use it, in short, it is always concerned about the ideological growth of the soldiers, and the Holy Sect Army in Nanjing takes the second brigade as the core, plus the third brigade and the second cavalry brigade, This formed the second town of the Holy Sect Army, and Yang Feng temporarily controlled it himself.

"The parishioners have worked hard!"

Yang Feng then said.

"Serve the people!"

Then shouted in unison below.

The entire Second Infantry Brigade was headed by the officers and standard-bearers, four large phalanxes of four infantry battalions, flintlock muskets with bayonets on their shoulders were also bayonets in the sun, and behind each battalion were two groups of artillerymen, riding in four-wheeled carriages, dragging three six-pounder Napoleons in the back, which was the battalion artillery team, and then behind the battalion reconnaissance team on horseback. Each infantry battalion adds up to less than 1,000 officers and soldiers, in fact, the line infantry that really fought was 800 people, and the rest were auxiliary operations, and the entire infantry brigade in addition to these four infantry battalions also had a brigade artillery battalion, three sentinels, three artillery teams per outpost, two twelve-pounder Napoleons in each team, eighteen great Napoleons in the entire artillery battalion, and thirty Napoleons in the entire brigade.

The proportion of this artillery is quite high.

In addition, the brigade has a cavalry reconnaissance post.

Yang Feng is not short of war horses, he in Nanjing alone at the beginning of the seizure and folk collection of horses is enough for tens of thousands, no matter the official offices, weaving mansions, Qianlong Palace, and the Eight Banners Army, are equipped with a large number of horses, and later the first Qing army rout when the surrender of the green battalion brought thousands of horses, those militia went out to chase and captured a large number of horses, Nanjing City at this time there are more than 20,000 horses.

The only thing that made Yang Feng dissatisfied was that at this time, the war horses of the Qing army had begun to be raised on donkeys.

The Eight Banners all raise their own horses, and the above gives subsidies, but those rotten Eight Banners all give subsidies to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, they all choose the worst and eat the least horses to raise, so that they can deduct more subsidies, and the final result is that the war horses of the Qing Dynasty are more and more like donkeys, that is, those officers who have military salaries can be deducted to raise horses in order to put on a façade.

Fortunately, during the Qianlong period, the war horses of the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners at the end of the Qing Dynasty were not much different from donkeys.

Just like this kind of donkey-like war horse, they often fall off when they ride it.

However, after picking, Yang Feng still picked out 5,000 horses that were barely usable, and some of the 5,000 war horses were given to the reconnaissance cavalry of the infantry brigade, and the remaining 3,000 horses were used to form a cavalry brigade, all of which were composed of elites selected from the surrendered green battalion, and the rest were pack horses, because the proportion of artillery was large, and more pack horses were needed. However, unlike the first town, his second town also has an additional direct mortar battalion, eighteen twenty-four-pounder mortar cannons, this one uses flowering shells, woodpipe fuse flowering shells, this is his current second town full strength, and according to the normal establishment, he still needs to expand two more infantry brigades to full strength, but this needs to be talked about later.

Under his satisfied gaze, in the shocking eyes of countless people outside the square, the second, third, and second infantry brigades and the second cavalry brigade were reviewed in turn.

And the latter is the spear cavalry.

Not only is there a spear for each person, but it is also equipped with a helmet, and it is even opened.

The military uniforms on their bodies are Xiaoqian's large-scale mail-order cut-proof cloths.

Yang Feng definitely can't match them with cuirasses, as far as their inferior horses can't play such a high-end at all, but the military uniform of the anti-cutting cloth is fine, although the anti-cutting cloth can not really provide effective protection, but at least the stray arrows shot by the cavalry bow and the slashing of the saber can be immune, so that the casualty rate will plummet, and the courage of the soldiers will also rise sharply, in fact, in Yang Feng's opinion, it is difficult to say whether the inferior iron knives of the Qing army can cut these anti-cut cloths.

Three thousand cavalrymen dressed in black cut-proof uniforms marched proudly across the square with spears with pennants.

Although half a year of training is not enough for them to reach the level of European cavalry, but at least compared with the classical archers of the Qing army, it is no longer a level, groups of cavalry are arranged in a phalanx, and the dense forest of spears in the sky and the fluttering triangles form a spectacular scene, which makes the people on the edge of the square cheer.

In their cheers, accompanied by the sound of salutes, Yang Feng's big military parade ended.

"Immortal Venerable, this is really a mighty master!"

On the city tower, Zhu Mian said with emotion.

The leader of the Cloud Boat Gang, the current governor of Fujian of the Chinese Holy Dynasty, arrived in Nanjing two days ago, just in time for this military parade, and he can be regarded as seeing the majesty of the Holy Sect army.

"Our Huaxia army should be like this!"

Yang Feng said.

"I don't know when Immortal Venerable will attack Fujian and Zhejiang?"

Zhu Mian asked.

"This will be half a year, the main direction of the next attack of the army is the western front, we must open up the connection between Nanjing and Hubei as soon as possible, as long as the Yangtze River route is opened to connect our main control areas into a piece, then we can attack Fujian and Zhejiang, at that time it is estimated that your warships are almost bought, and we will take Fujian and Zhejiang in one fell swoop. But before that, you and Zheng Yi's problem must be made clear, I know that there are often conflicts between these boat gangs along the coast, but now you are all part of the Holy Sect, you must unite, you are the governor of Fujian, Zheng Yi is the governor of Guangdong, you two are the largest boat gangs in the southeast sea, before I attack Fujian and Zhejiang, you must cooperate to solve the other boat gangs along the coast first, I will send you each a patriarch, they are responsible for assisting you. ”

Yang Feng said.

He actually divided the sphere of influence between the two families, so that they would not fight first.

Next, both Zhu Lian and Zheng Yi will get a large number of warships, in fact, they have begun to use the funds provided by Yang Feng to expand their power at this time, Zhu Mian has his own shipyard, although it is an exaggeration for a pirate to have a shipyard on land, but it is true, he can build any ship he wants on the other side of the clouds, not to mention that there is no problem with small warships. Zheng Yi is simpler, even if it is not so easy to buy in Macau, he can also go to Vietnam to buy, in fact, the main area of activity of the Zheng family's pirates is south of the Pearl River estuary, and there are many Ming Dynasty remnants in Saigon, Vietnam, all of whom came from Zheng Chenggong's subordinates like the Zheng family back then, and it was easy for him to buy a boat there.

The same goes for including the purchase of cannons.

But these pirates have always killed each other, and Yang Feng doesn't want to see the first thing these two guys do after their strength increases is infighting.

You have to give them a certain sphere of influence first.

"Immortal Venerable, don't worry, since the disciple and Zheng Yi are both members of the Holy Sect, how can they kill each other."

Zhu Lian hurriedly said.

"This is the best, after the Qing demon is destroyed, you are all the founding fathers of my Chinese Holy Dynasty, I said before, to imitate the British East India Company to set up our own colonial company, when the time comes, you will have to have a share, including your brothers, our future is the entire sea, the South Seas, the West and even the Americas, all of which we will conquer, but don't just stare at the interests in front of you. How much money do you make a year struggling with the seas? There is gold and silver outside waiting for you to get it, the British demon has just discovered a large island south of the South Seas, and this year it began to send the first batch of exiled criminals, where I have been there, there are countless gold and silver in the ground, that is, all the silver in our country is added up, not as much as a silver mine there, and the gold there is even more than the gold mountain of Sado Island of the Japanese demons, I am ready to wait for our colonial company to be established, first go there to mine gold and silver, your rich days are still long! ”

Yang Feng said.

"The disciple is willing to swear to follow the Immortal Venerable to the death!"

Zhu Mian said excitedly.

"I believe in you, then you immediately return to Fujian, and then go to Zheng Yi, you first cooperate to subdue the boat gang along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, I have asked Wu Bingjian to help contact the Ying Demon, buy two large warships from the East India Company, and then you and Zheng Yi will have one each, as for those small warships, the more you buy, the better." I'll give you another box of gems, this kind of thing is more or less for me, especially diamonds, the West Demon likes this best, you might as well find a way to contact those West Demon merchants, even if you can't buy their warships, you can buy their armed merchant ships, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, these West Demons are not short of this thing. You'd better be able to assemble a large sea fleet that can transport 20,000 soldiers before next spring, and then we'll go north directly and land at Dagukou to copy the demon's lair!" ”

Yang Feng said.

That's the schedule that can be met for him.

He spent a year to solve the war along the Yangtze River, and then after the Bohai Bay thawed in the spring of next year, he led the army to play two crows and go straight to the old nest of Duanqian in Beijing, first washed the eight banners in Beijing, and captured the men as eunuchs to pile up the pyramids, while piling up the pyramids while cleaning up the remaining local forces, and by the way went out to rob the colonies.

What's more, Xiao Na is about to appear.

He was looking forward to meeting little Nana in Moscow in his lifetime.
