Chongzhen Chat Group

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he immediately replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty is wise, divine and martial, and his martial arts skills are as good as those of Taizu, and even... even worse!"

When Qin Liangyu heard that his son gave such a high comment, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked him: "Oh, in my son's opinion, he is more powerful than my ancestor Taizu and Chengzu. How can you see it?"

After hearing this, Ma Xianglin showed admiration and explained with fascination: "Three dynasties were built to build the captives in Liaodong. The Ming Dynasty could not quell the rebellion. Instead, they founded the country and became emperor. I originally thought that the captives were difficult to control! However, After the emperor ascended the throne, he personally trained the new army and promoted talents, and then continued to suppress the Jianlu and finally defeated the Jianlu until the country was destroyed. As a result, our Ming Dynasty was able to regain Liaodong, and even added a North Korea..."

Because of his wife Zhang Fengyi's relationship in the chat group, Ma Xianglin and the others basically kept abreast of what happened in Daming. Therefore, he was well aware of Emperor Chongzhen's achievements. Qin Liangyu nodded slightly when he heard this, with a smile on his face, and continued to listen without interrupting him.

"...Also, even if Taizu became the ancestor, he never included Mongolia in the territory and set up a governor's palace to make it a province of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the emperor is even more ambitious and has sent troops to the far north to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty. To the horizon." Ma Xianglin preferred to lead troops to fight, so he first talked about these war-related things, and as he spoke, he became very happy, as if he had personally participated in each of these wars, and was proud of it. , "There are also the Wa Ci in the west. They used to capture all the elites left by Chengzu, but here, the emperor fled after hearing the news and paid tribute. There are others, the Xiyi in the south, the She'an rebellion in the west Wait, they are all put down by the emperor..."

After saying this in one breath, Ma Xianglin finally took a rest. However, he immediately looked at his mother and continued: "As for the difficulties of the vassal king, it was all left by Taizu Chengzu. I originally thought that there was no solution to the matter. This has been the case in all dynasties. But the current emperor has great foresight and actually I thought of sealing the vassal king to a place outside the dynasty, and it didn’t require any money from the court. By the way, it could appease the refugees and disaster victims around my Ming Dynasty, and also let my Ming Dynasty’s prestige spread further. Looking at the words and deeds of the Tang King, I was also happy. This move can be said to be a win-win for both the court and the vassal, no, the people of the Ming Dynasty also benefited from it, it is a triple win..."

Qin Liangyu looked at his son talking endlessly, feeling extremely happy in his heart. With a smile on his face, he listened quietly to his son's words.

"...But what surprises the emperor even more is that what the emperor has done in the past few years is simply unprecedented. Not only has it never happened during the Taizu and Chengzu periods, but it has never happened in any previous dynasty!" When Ma Xianglin said this, He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and started counting on his fingers, "The emperor invented cement, opened the Daming Road and Bridge Company, used banknotes, established the Daming Construction Bank, and invented the steam engine... This is another miraculous invention of the emperor. I heard that the emperor once I have said that this has extraordinary effects. It can be used to greatly improve our Ming Dynasty, such as in cars and boats. When I think about it, I feel that this emperor’s ability is incredible. By the way, what other technologies and very powerful knowledge..."

He was talking eloquently and couldn't help but beaming with joy, which made Zhang Fengyi, who was not far away, puzzled. Of course she understands her husband, he is not usually like this! Don't know what you are talking about? How excited!

Thinking like this, she was extremely curious, but it was a pity that she didn't dare to listen to her mother-in-law's orders.

Qin Liangyu listened with a smile all the time, and waited until Ma Xianglin finished speaking, then she looked at her son who was still excited and said: "My son, you are right, this emperor of our Ming Dynasty is truly the emperor of the ages! It can be foreseen that the Ming Dynasty will be extremely powerful under the current emperor's governance, and I am convinced of this!"

Seeing that his mother agreed, Ma Xianglin was also very happy.

However, Qin Liangyu immediately changed the topic and said: "So, my son, do you think the emperor will allow the existence of the chieftain? Think about it, even the vassal king wants to feudal overseas, how can the chieftain ignore it? So, change the soil and return to the family. It’s not a rumor, it will be inevitable in the future!”

As soon as he heard that she brought up the topic of returning to rural life, Ma Xianglin felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and his high mood suddenly dropped.

Qin Liangyu ignored him and continued: "Returning to native soil will indeed harm the interests of the chieftains, but so what? The general trend is the general trend, and those who cannot recognize the situation will end up being like mantises blocking the traffic! Even the chieftains in the world They rebel together, each without their own authority, and they are just a bunch of rabble. The most the court can do is toss around a little more, but they will definitely be able to suppress it in the end. Even if our Baigan Army confronts Jianlu, can we destroy them? But the new army of the court can. You Do you think that our white-pole army can defeat the new army? How much military strength can our white-pole army have to defeat the endless new army?"

Ma Xianglin has always been proud of his mother for being able to bring out such an elite soldier. But when I heard what my mother said, I couldn't help but feel deflated like a rubber ball. He could give answers to his mother's questions without hesitation.

Qin Liangyu naturally saw his son's emotional changes and knew that his son had listened to what he said, so he continued: "Furthermore, the chieftain system did not exist before the Yuan Dynasty. It will disappear in the future, too. Normal things. Nothing can remain unchanged forever. We Shizhu, in this rolling historical torrent, must not block it and be smashed to pieces, but adapt to the current situation, so that we can last long!"

When she said this, she suddenly stopped smiling, her face became serious, and she said seriously to Ma Xianglin: "My mother has always taught you that in the affairs of the world, there are things you should do and things you should not do. A true man should learn from Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang and serve the country with loyalty. , will be remembered forever! Therefore, even in the troubled autumn of the Ming Dynasty, when the court was in difficulty, your two uncles did not hesitate to go out to fight for the Ming Dynasty and died in the Hunhe River in Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty! Although there were treacherous ministers in the court, let your father You are sick and in jail, but your father told me not to hold any grudges. The country is a country, and treacherous ministers are treacherous ministers. They should distinguish between them. And your grandfather also has many teachings. The Qin family, the Ma family..."

Having said this, she raised her head and glanced at Zhang Fengyi who was not far away, then turned back to look at her son and continued: "The Zhang family, as well, are all loyal and good people. They have regarded themselves as loyal ministers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty, and have protected their family and country for hundreds of lives." No regrets!”

Ma Xianglin listened and stared blankly back at his mother, obviously thinking about something in his heart.

After Qin Liangyu said this, his face softened a little, but he still said very seriously: "Besides, the emperor has always trusted us. He knows that we are also chieftains, but he has not doubted it at all, just because we have always done loyal things. ! Moreover, the emperor is not kind to us. He can confer a title to a woman who is his mother without hesitation. Do you think such a thing has ever happened in the previous dynasty? Do you believe it or not, in the future, as long as our sect Dedicated to state affairs, there must be more than one earl. This time, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be rewarded."

It was unheard of before for a woman to be given a title as a loyal uncle. When the emperor ordered it, Ma Xianglin was shocked and refused to do so. At that time, he was very proud. Whose mother could be named an earl by the court, and she was also a very praised and loyal uncle.

Qin Liangyu may have been talking for a long time. Looking at his son's expression, he felt that he had almost said it, so he finally said solemnly: "Whether it's chieftain or title, it's just a gift given to us by the court. It's just a different name. What we have to do. Yes, keep your true heart and have a loyal heart, that’s enough!”

"Mom, I have figured it out. No matter from what aspect, I will obey my mother's teachings!" Ma Xianglin was brought up by Qin Liangyu. After such teachings, he suddenly became enlightened and no longer struggled with The matter of changing one's native land and returning to one's native land. Once the mental illness is gone, the whole person appears to be in high spirits. The once lively one-eyed Ma Chao is back again.

Seeing this, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but smile happily, and said to Ma Xianglin: "Let my son's reputation shock the southwest of the Ming Dynasty. Just like the emperor, he is better than his master. I believe that my son's achievements will be better than those of others." , will be even better than General Fubo in the future."

Ma Xianglin's ancestor was Ma Yuan, General Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once established a wide range of general titles. The highest rankings were general, general of hussars, general of cavalry, and general of guard, followed by front, rear, left, and right generals, as well as many titled generals, including general Fubo. He is one of these many titled generals. What Qin Liangyu means is that he is optimistic about Ma Xianglin and will definitely be appointed as a general in the future.

Ma Xianglin grinned after hearing this. He was naturally very happy to be praised by his most respected mother.

When Qin Liangyu saw it, he showed a loving smile on his face and said: "Don't be silly and call your wife over. I want to hear about my new things in the Ming Dynasty, especially the new invention!"

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he immediately became interested, agreed, waved to his wife quickly, called her over and asked about the gossip. Speaking of which, it’s great to have this daughter-in-law. Not only is she as talented as her mother, but more importantly, she also has this miraculous ability to reach heaven and hear all kinds of news thousands of miles away. This is simply a kind of enjoyment on weekdays!

Zhang Fengyi saw that her mother-in-law and her husband seemed to be talking about something, and then her husband became cheerful and in good spirits. She was also very happy for this. When she heard that her mother-in-law and her husband wanted to hear gossip, she drove her horse and kept quiet with her husband. The colleague, while talking about the news he heard in the chat group, talked endlessly: "The emperor was very angry at the cruel and shameless Fo Langji people. While he ordered to vigorously expand the navy, he also personally arranged to go to Tongzhou to inspect The shipyard over there is checking the status of the warships equipped with new machines. Some people say that our current warships in the Ming Dynasty are not as good as those of the Western Yi. Around the Ming Dynasty, the shortcomings are not obvious, but there will be problems if we fight in the ocean, and the emperor , is to solve this problem..."

After Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin and others heard this, they couldn't help but be very curious about the new warship, and their thoughts drifted to the north involuntarily. They really wanted to see with their own eyes what this upgraded warship looked like?

As Zhang Fengyi said, Emperor Chongzhen had legitimately left the capital and headed for Tongzhou. Regarding the matter of thermal power on warships, he was the intellectual authority and could not let others do it for him. Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen had been to the south of the Yangtze River before, and had personally conquered the country. He had left the capital more than once. Whether it was the civil and military officials in the court or the common people in the capital, he was not surprised. Besides, this time we were going to Tongzhou, which was very close to the capital, and not many people had any objections to this.

Tongzhou Shipyard is located in Zhangjiawan. When the emperor came in person, the area was under martial law and no one could get close to it. Even on the other side, there were countless officers and soldiers standing guard along the river bank to prevent others from getting into the water. However, countless people who came after hearing the news were waiting outside the cordon. They wanted to see with their own eyes what would happen after the new thing was moved to the ship? How does this new type of thermally powered warship sail on the water...

In short, they are very curious about this new warship. So after the emperor left the capital, many people from the capital followed him. Of course, this was also one of the purposes of Emperor Chongzhen's grand visit to Tongzhou. The promotion of science and technology must be based on facts to be the most convincing!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was listening to the report of the eunuch in charge of the shipyard: "According to His Majesty's instructions, the slaves asked them to start working on several different plans at the same time. After the wooden ship was rebuilt, new equipment was installed, and the propulsion power was also improved. Both paddle wheels and propellers are used..."

Paddle wheels have been used as power for propulsion, both in the East and the West, for a long time in history. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty shipwrights were naturally familiar with the manufacture of paddle wheels and could build them quickly. The propeller was proposed by Emperor Chongzhen based on later generations. Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was not a professional ship builder in later generations, and he had only seen some propellers in movies and TV shows, such as the one at the beginning of Wolf Warrior 2. Therefore, after he roughly described it, Ming craftsmen built it for testing.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was listening carefully to the report of the eunuch in charge: "...the paddle wheel was the first to be designed and is now ready for testing. His Majesty made it clear that the propeller is more advanced than the paddle wheel, so I don't dare to neglect it. , focused on supervising the manufacture of propellers, and has also built different types of propellers, which have been installed on three wooden boats. Now a total of four thermodynamic wooden boats have been prepared, so I will report to your majesty immediately. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and tried various plans in parallel. This was what he meant. At this time, he looked at the four new wooden boats moored in front of him, and then looked at the countless heads outside the cordon on the other side in the distance, and then nodded and said: "Pass the message, let's start testing!"

Thanks to Hope Heaven for the reward!
