"General! It's back! We're back! ”

Tears flashed in the eyes of the loud and noisy warriors, and they were already a little incoherent with excitement.

The general at the head looked into the distance, and there were still several miles to go, and it was already land!

His name is Shen Gengzhong, he belongs to the pioneer battalion of the Daming Shence Army, and he is the general of the pioneer battalion, but this identity is not something to be proud of, what is worthy of pride is another layer of identity.

Deputy Commander of the Yongwang Mansion of Huzhou!

This is the common pride of every soldier born in Yongwangwei, which is deep in the bone marrow and will be difficult to move forever!

Last year, King Yong ...... His Majesty ordered a thousand divine troops to leave the Ming Dynasty, follow the map route drawn by the Son of Heaven himself, and then cross the ocean to a place called the New World, also known as America, in search of high-yield crops and a tree that can produce gum.

For five months, a thousand warriors trekked through mountains and rivers, fought fiercely with the tribes on the grassland, fought with wolves, and fought with Rakshasa ghosts in the bitter cold land.

Along the way, they fought and fought countless times to support their journey, and finally arrived at the place marked Bering Strait in mid-September!

Along the way, they lost nearly 30% of their personnel, and more than 200 comrades-in-arms who shared their life and death fell down, closing their eyes forever.

The fighters of the Forces nouvelles do not abandon and do not give up, but their task has not yet been completed, so there is no way back.

Cremated their comrades with tears, packed up the bones in a wooden box, and buried them temporarily on the way forward, if one day they can come back, then they will take out the ashes according to the mark and go home together, if not, then all the brothers will bury the bones together in a foreign land.

The choppy, phosphoic waters had made them desperate, but His Majesty had said that the Bering Strait would freeze after October, when the ice would be seven or eight feet thick enough for them to cross!

So I had to wait, and when the weather was cold, the Bering Strait was really covered with thick ice!

None of the soldiers felt that this was a miracle, because it was told to them by His Majesty himself, and the emperor's words were Tianxian for others, but for the veterans of Yongwangwei, they were divine decrees!

According to His Majesty's will, they used the thousands of war horses they had stolen from the conquest to make hundreds of ice cars that could fly on the ice, and when the ice was solid, they immediately stepped on the ice and went to the unknown distance!

No one thought that it would be so easy to cross the sea, according to His Majesty, the narrowest passage in the Bering Strait was less than a hundred miles, and they did not find the narrowest passage, but it only took them three days to cross the strait!

When they set foot on the new continent called America, a glint of hope appeared in the eyes of all the warriors!

According to His Majesty's wishes, when they landed on the American continent, they began to search for the seeds he needed, a process that could be lengthy.

That is, there is a good chance that they will not be able to go back before the Bering Strait thaws in March and April of the following year, so they will have to continue to wait until October to freeze, provided that they get seeds and gum trees.

However, Shen Gengzhong didn't want to wait, so he divided the more than 700 soldiers into three parts, divided into three directions and quickly went south, and made an agreement, no matter which way he found what His Majesty needed, he would return immediately, and if the Bering Strait had not thawed at that time, he would immediately cross the past, no need to wait!

His Majesty had marked on the map the approximate directions of the high-yielding crops and gum trees he needed, and had divided the north and south into many pieces and marked the distances.

For example, the distance between north and south is almost 6,000 miles!

If there were no war horses, it might not be too difficult for them to find what they needed in this land that was not less than the Ming Dynasty, but the time it would take was unimaginable.

But with the war horse, Shen Gengzhong has absolute confidence to cross the north and south in a few months and smoothly bring things back!

The only thing that is uncertain is whether there will be a country as strong as the Ming Dynasty in this vast land, and if so, as an outlier, it is estimated that these seven hundred people can really only bury their bones elsewhere.

Death is not terrible for these soldiers, and the concept propagated by Yongwangwei has already penetrated into the bone marrow of every soldier, making them believe that the battlefield is the destination of soldiers.

The military is the patron saint of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the patron saint of all people!

In order to protect, never give up!

But Shen Gengzhong didn't want to die, because dying in a foreign land meant that he failed to complete the task of the Divine Mansion in his mind, and this kind of death was shameful and worthless.

So stepping into this land, he must first live!

Soon Shen Gengzhong completely understood why the Son of Heaven only let a thousand soldiers go out of the customs to the Americas to look for seeds, because this rich continent did not give birth to any political power at all, and those natives gathered into large and small villages, and their low combat effectiveness was sad.

Shen Gengzhong felt that as long as he had 10,000 soldiers and horses, he could completely defeat this land that was not worse than the Ming Dynasty and complete effective rule!

This is not blind arrogance, but absolute self-confidence!

There were no enemies who could snipe them, and the fertile land gave the horses enough forage to eat, and the gallop from north to south was not more than thousands of miles, giving them too much time to find what they needed.

Soon, they found gum trees, then corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, peanuts, tomatoes, peppers, tobacco, and more......

As long as it is not in the Ming Dynasty, as long as it is in the Americas, then it can not be let go, the only regret is that the manpower is slightly too little, and each seed can only bring a few hundred catties, the most troublesome is the bakelite tree, the big gum tree will definitely not be able to go, so you can only use the potted method to bring as much as possible.

Because His Majesty said that this thing is easy to adapt to the soil and water, if you don't get more, if you return to the Ming Dynasty, it will be a little unbeautiful.

After finding what they needed, the three groups of men returned, and they had to leave before the thaw, or they would have to cut down and build ships, which at their level were estimated to be only rafts.

Drifting on the sea with a raft, don't look at the short strait, that is also looking for death.

It's just that the search for seeds is fast, but when you return, you have to carry a lot of baggage, and the speed is naturally much slower, but in the end, after four months of back and forth, you finally arrived at the mouth of the strait in mid-March, and by this time the thick ice on the strait has already shown signs of melting.

Now that they are back, as long as they pass through the territory of the Rakshasa ghost and wade through the grassland, then they can return to Daming!

I just don't know how many fraternities arrived in the capital in the end......

But Shen Gengzhong believes that when they return to the capital, the species they bring back will inevitably cause a sensation in the whole world!

As long as a smile can appear on His Majesty's face, then their efforts for more than a year will be worth it!
