"Qingyang, this trip can only be seen everywhere in Nanzhili."

Yang Tingshu had a helpless look on his face, it was already September 29th, and there was still one day to go, and the arrangement of the route was mainly Yang Tingshu's concern, after all, he was older, and his identity was not the same, so he should be familiar with the relevant situation.

"Nothing, all according to Brother Huaidou's arrangement, it is also good to be able to walk around Nanzhili."

During the Chongzhen period, there were many disasters and famines in various places, and the people had no way to live, and there was nothing they dared to do, not to mention the peasant uprising and the invasion of the Houjin, the situation in the north was extremely unstable, and the situation was turbulent in Shandong, Henan and other places close to Nanzhili, relatively speaking, the situation in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, the situation was slightly more stable, Yang Tingshu's grandfather was the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and he must know these situations, and it made sense that Yang Tingshu was not allowed to travel far away, and Zheng Xunrui also attached great importance to security issues, Don't joke with life.

"That's good, I'm still afraid that you will be unhappy, this trip, we first went to Suzhou, then to Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Huai'an, Xuzhou, Fengyang and Chuzhou and other places, and finally returned to Yingtian, what do you think."

Zheng Xunrui was stunned for a moment, this Yang Tingshu really had a little selfishness, and the first stop he chose was Suzhou.

Yang Tingshu himself is a native of Wu County, Suzhou, as well as Yang Yi, Gu Menglin, Wu Weiye and Zhang Pu, who once met in the Qinhuai River, are all from Suzhou.

A deeper meaning, Zheng Xunrui also understands, the relationship between him and Yang Tingshu is very good, although it is only a few months, but the two talk speculatively, have similar interests, and appreciate each other, but there is always a trace of shadow in this relationship, that is, the conflict that once occurred in the Qinhuai River.

That conflict, Yang Yi, Gu Menglin, Wu Weiye and Zhang Pu and others, all involved, even including Qian Qianyi, it was precisely because of that conflict that the conflict between Zheng Xunrui and Gong Dingyu was triggered, these things had a great impact on Yang Tingshu, and it was impossible to forget it, in order to avoid such a thing again, this time I first thought about going to Suzhou, and I am afraid that I also wanted to improve the relationship between Zheng Xunrui and everyone.

Qian Qianyi is also a native of Suzhou, his hometown is in Changshu, Suzhou, according to historical records, after Qian Qianyi was dismissed from his official position, he basically taught at Donglin Academy in Suzhou, relying on his own knowledge and influence, attracting a large number of scholars, and faintly becoming one of the leaders of the southern literary circle.

The first place to visit this time is Suzhou, and there must be a lot of interesting things happening.

As for the travel of other state capitals in Nanzhili, the time will not be very long, and the time spent in Suzhou is afraid that it will be more than a month, and the rest of the time is not very much.

Sooner or later, Qian Qianyi and others will have to meet, and some key debates will also appear, which is likely to affect Zheng Xunrui's future choices, including future development, etc., is by no means a trivial matter, although Zheng Xunrui's qualifications are far from being comparable with Qian Qianyi, but he will not show weakness, let alone succumb to the pressure of the so-called academic authority.

Yang Tingshu chose to go to Yangzhou first, he must have a good heart, but unfortunately he didn't know the mystery.

"Brother Huaidou can arrange it however you want, I have no objection."

Yang Tingshu's face showed a smile of relief, after getting acquainted with Zheng Xunrui, he found that he was very smart and could analyze the meaning from any words, and he made such an arrangement, Zheng Xunrui could not understand the meaning, since he did not raise an objection, that is, he agreed and was willing to face it.

On September 30, Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu set off.

There are a total of five people in the group, Zheng Xunrui took Zheng Jinhong, and Yang Tingshu also brought two subordinates, namely Yang He and Yang Zhong, among which the person named Yang He attracted Zheng Xunrui's attention. This reminded Zheng Xunrui of the word bodyguard.

Suzhou Fucheng is 500 miles away from Nanjing, according to the speed of a group of people, it takes more than four days without delay, and along the way also to take into account the problem of food and accommodation, it is impossible to spend the night on the official road, into October, the climate gradually becomes colder, the temperature at night is a little low, so all things considered, a group of people will arrive in five to six days.

Yang Tingshu also prepared a good horse, is a rare in the south of the Uzhumuqin horse, the Uzhumuqin horse is strong, can survive in difficult and harsh conditions, as a war horse, on the battlefield is not frightened, brave, the biggest advantage is that the endurance is super strong, can run about 100 kilometers a day, and persist for ten days in a row.

Zheng Xunrui has long known that Yang Tingshu is preparing Uzhumuqin horses, and he did not mention the matter of Arabian horses, as horses, Uzhumuqin horses and Arabian horses are among the best horses on the battlefield, in general, Arabian horses have a slight advantage, and the sprint speed on the battlefield is stronger than that of Uzhumuqin horses, and their temperament is also more docile than Uzhumuqin horses.

In terms of price, Uzhumuqin horses cost about seventy-five taels of silver each, which is only five taels of silver cheaper than Arabian horses.

Seeing the Uzhumuqin horse, Zheng Xunrui thought of Yang Cheng, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, these horses must be provided by Yang Cheng, they should be war horses in the army, and this kind of trained Uzhumuqin horse cannot be sold on the market.

There is also the subordinate named Yang He, I am afraid that it is not the identity of the subordinate, but the person specially dispatched by Yang Cheng to protect Yang Tingshu's safety along the road, and his ability should be extraordinary.

This is the advantage of being an official and controlling power, not only can you be well protected, but you can also use a lot of resources.

Leaving Nanjing City and just entering the suburbs, Yang He spoke.

"Yang Gongzi, it's already a quarter of a moment of time, and his subordinate Jian yì is, he arrived in Jurong today, and this place is about a hundred miles away from Jurong, and he needs to hurry up...... The meaning of the subordinates, arrive in Jurong today and take a rest. ”

Zheng Xunrui's eyes blinked slightly, Yang He's habits in the army will not be changed for a while, that is, these words reveal his identity, if according to the requirements of the army's combat, the cavalry is equipped with a good enough war horse, advance at the fastest speed, and in about half an hour, they will be able to complete the march of a hundred miles, let's just say that the Arabian horse and Uzhumuqin horse they ride, the fastest speed of the Arabian horse can reach 50 kilometers per hour, and the Uzhumuqin horse can also reach 45 kilometers per hour.

Yang Tingshu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Yang He looked at Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jinhong, and also looked at the Arabian horse that the two were riding, and a trace of light burst out of his eyes.

Zheng Xunrui believes that such a journey must be boring for soldiers like Yang He, of course, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is indeed worrying, and it can deal with the peasant rebel army in the early stage, and later even the peasant rebel army can not be defeated, let alone facing the brave Houjin army.

The speed of the group was not fast, Zheng Xunrui and Yang Tingshu were side by side, walking in the front, Zheng Jinhong and Yang Zhong were side by side, following behind a distance of about ten meters, Yang He was at the back, about thirty meters away from everyone.

"Qing Yang, Yang He's such an arrangement, what do you think."

"Since Brother Huaidou has talked about the problem of the itinerary, then I will say it directly, such a speed, I am afraid that it is not a good look, a whole day, walking a hundred miles, too slow, according to my opinion, it is best to arrive at Zhenjiang Mansion today, this place is less than two hundred miles away from Zhenjiang Mansion, the speed is slightly faster, there is definitely no problem."

"Oh, Qing Yang can afford to eat, this horseback riding is very physical."

"When I came out to travel, I was going to taste the ups and downs, and if it was the same as at home, then there would be no need."

Zheng Xunrui's expression is very calm, in fact, for this trip, the biggest preparation he made is to train horseback riding, he used to ride a southwest horse, the speed is not very fast, since Zheng Fugui brought back the Arabian horse, he and Zheng Jinhong have practiced hard for three days, and can basically master most of the keys to horseback riding.

But the two still need to exercise, according to their ability to ride horses, it is impossible to go to the battlefield, this time the trip is just an opportunity, to be able to train the ability to ride horses, but also harvest.

Yang Tingshu smiled and nodded.

"Yang He, come here."

Yang He clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and came to the front in the blink of an eye.

"I have discussed with Qingyang, make some adjustments to today's itinerary, or go to Zhenjiang Mansion for the night, this place to Zhenjiang is about two hundred miles away, according to one day, there is no big problem."

"The subordinates understand that there is nothing wrong with Gongzi, but I don't know if Gongzi Zheng can afford it."

When Yang He spoke, there was no expression on his face, but his words were very direct.

Yang Tingshu's face flushed slightly, obviously thinking that Yang He was speaking too directly.

"Don't worry, two hundred miles a day, I can still afford to eat."

Yang He looked at Zheng Xunrui, then at the Arabian horse, and nodded.

"Well, if you want to arrive in Zhenjiang Mansion today, the arrangement for lunch will change a little, at most it will be half an hour, and there are many places to travel this time, so you still have to cherish the horsepower."

After the unification of opinions, the speed of the group quickly increased, and bursts of yellow sand appeared on the official road
