Emperor Chongzhen did not let them wait long, and then announced loudly: "The defense of Jiazhuang from the end of the eleventh year of Chongzhen to the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, under the siege of several times the Jianlu, fought bravely and kept Jiazhuang, and dealt a heavy blow to Jianzhuang for the first time, breaking the myth of invincibility of Jianlu. Therefore, I have decided to award medals to all the meritorious soldiers who participated in the defense of Jiazhuang, and those who have not committed major faults will be commemorated! ”

Although there were some people who insisted on not letting Jianyu break through before, such as the Ningjin line. However, it was a strong and tall city, and there were Hongyi cannons and other sharp weapons to defend the city, heavily guarded by heavy troops, etc., and it was not unusual to build captives that could not be defeated.

However, the defense of Jiazhuang was just a Zhuangzi, and it could not be compared with Ningjin and other fortified cities at all. Several times the siege of Jianyu, but it was able to hold on, I have to say that the arrogance of Jianyu was hit hard this time. Therefore, no matter who it is, there is no objection to the emperor's statement.

After hearing the emperor's words, the people who survived at the beginning were basically organized into the three major battalions, and these people were excited, they were the first to get this medal. At the beginning, when I think about it now, it was indeed hard, and even Governor Lu, who was the secretary of the military department at that time and commanded the army of the king of Qin, was wounded in many places, which was really thrilling. Looking back now, I am proud of that battle.

They were thinking about it, so they heard Emperor Chongzhen call out by name: "Where are Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu?" ”

"The last general!" Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu both came out of the ranks, came to Emperor Chongzhen, and echoed loudly.

The two of them, when they defended Jiajiazhuang, were Lu Xiangsheng's right-hand men. At that time, Hu Dawei almost died in the country.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "Jiajiazhuang defense battle, Qing and others are not afraid of strong enemies, bloody battles, I am deeply grateful, give the bronze Jiajiazhuang defense battle medal as an incentive!" ”

After finishing speaking, he took out the medal from the small box that Chen Baoting held over, and personally hung it on his chest for Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu.

In this process, whether it was Hu Dawei or Yang Guozhu, the two straightened their chests, and even their faces turned red, motionless, and even their breathing seemed to stop, for fear of affecting the emperor to hang this medal on them.

In fact, now that it is a harsh winter, they wear too much, no matter what happens, it will not affect Emperor Chongzhen's medals for them.

"The last general bows to the Holy Grace!" After hanging up, when Emperor Chongzhen took a step back to look at the two of them, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu invariably hugged their fists and played.

Emperor Chongzhen laughed loudly and said to the two of them: "The rest of the soldiers who participated in the defense of Jiajiazhuang will be checked and issued by Qing and the other two together with the military department, and they must be all distributed before the day after tomorrow, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"The last will obey!" When Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu heard this, they immediately echoed loudly.

Their conversation, after being heard by the soldiers below, probably understood how the medal would be issued. Thinking about it, the emperor personally issued it, which was a great honor. There are so many ordinary soldiers, how can the emperor come over.

They were thinking about it, but they heard Emperor Chongzhen announce on the platform again: "The Battle of Tianjin, for the first time, dealt a heavy blow to Jianyu, broke the myth of the invincibility of Jianyu in the field, destroyed more than 30,000 enemies, and rescued more than 200,000 people from the Ming Dynasty. This battle will forever be remembered by history! ”

Hearing the emperor say this, everyone knew that the emperor was going to award commemorative medals to the soldiers who participated in the Battle of Tianjin. Suddenly, most of the people in the three battalions couldn't help but show excitement.

But at the same time, they are also a little curious, who will have the qualifications to be issued by the emperor in person? Are you still a few commanders?

They were thinking about it, when they heard Emperor Chongzhen call him by name on the stage: "Where is Han Leyu?" ”

Hearing this, many people were taken aback, it wasn't the chief soldiers?

Han Leyu, who is standing below, has already accumulated merit to become a guerrilla. He didn't expect that the emperor would call him by name. So much so that at first, he thought he had heard it wrong. When the eyes of the people around him turned to him, he knew that he was right.

Suddenly, he became excited, immediately went out of the ranks, came to Emperor Chongzhen, and excitedly replied: "The last general!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said with a smile: "In the battle of Tianjin, you desperately defended the Weihe. It is also thanks to you that at the critical juncture when Jianyu was about to attack the shore, you thought of the method of burning the bridge, which made a great contribution to the victory of my Ming Dynasty in the end. I am deeply grateful, and I give you a bronze medal for the Battle of Tianjin, as an encouragement! ”

Those who heard this finally understood that the emperor personally gave medals to the meritorious soldiers of the Battle of Tianjin, and Han Leyu was chosen because he played a role at a critical time.

"The last general bows to the Holy Grace!" Han Leyu seemed to feel that the medal hanging on his chest seemed to be hot, and immediately thanked Emperor Chongzhen excitedly.

Emperor Chongzhen responded with a smile, then turned to look at the audience and announced: "The other soldiers who participated in the Battle of Tianjin will be coordinated by the Ministry of War and several general soldiers to distribute medals to everyone!" ”

Next, he separately announced that he would give commemorative medals to the total annihilation of the Tumert tribe in the Battle of Tumut, the annihilation of the thieves in the country in the Battle of Nanyang, the Battle of Lushun and the foothold of the Dongjiang Army in Liaodong, the Battle of Pyongyang, the complete annihilation of the Dolgon Division in the Battle of Tashan, the total annihilation of the Jierharang Division in the Battle of Guihua City, the capture of the Nu Chief Daishan in the Battle of Jinzhou, the sweep of the Eastern Mongolian tribes in the Battle of the Steppe, and the recent battle related to Yaozhouyi.

With the previous example, it is not surprising that these big battles, and the battles of great victories, can get medals. However, one thing, to the surprise of many people, the officers and soldiers of the Denglai Marine Division also won the medals of the Battle of Lushun, the Battle of Pyongyang, the Battle of Jinzhou and the Battle of Jinzhou.

You must know that in the past, the naval division had no status at all, and the highest general, no matter how strong he was, was just a coastal defense guerrilla. Until the past few years, Emperor Chongzhen sealed a naval division for the first time, that is, Zheng Zhilong.

At this time, although Zheng Zhilong was cut from the military position of the chief soldier of the Sailor Division, he also participated in this award, and in these several medals awarded by the Denglai Sailor Division, he became the one who was personally awarded the medal by the emperor himself.

Some of the more sensitive people immediately sniffed a lot of information from it. For example, the emperor's trust in Zheng Zhilong has not diminished, and he may be reinstated one day. Also, the emperor seems to pay more attention to the sailor than any previous emperor.

However, what the emperor said is not unreasonable, at least in these Liaodong wars, if there is no Denglai Sailor, many wars cannot be fought at all. When they think about it, they are relieved.

In this way, the soldiers of the Ming Army of the Denglai Navy Division can be said to have won four medals, which is one of the soldiers who have won the most medals.

This time, the medals issued are not small, although they are all bronze medals, but the number is very large. If it had been before, the imperial court would not have the strength to distribute so much. But now, the treasury has money, and it has the confidence to distribute so much at once.

After the medals of these battles were issued, Emperor Chongzhen was on the stage and said loudly: "You may not know that the Ming Dynasty was able to win a series of battles against Jianlu, in addition to everyone's bloody battles on the frontal battlefield, there were also people who also risked their lives for nine lives, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, and laid the foundation for the Ming Dynasty's victory over Jianlu." ”

Hearing this, most people were taken aback, there was still such a person? What do they do? Why didn't you know there was such a thing?

They were wondering when they heard Emperor Chongzhen call out by name: "Where is Chen Shaoan?" ”

Chen Shao'an was summoned from Liaodong, he knew that he would get the medal, and when he heard the emperor's roll call, he was immediately excited, and immediately came out of the column to the emperor, and responded loudly: "The last general!" ”

When the others saw that it was him, they all suddenly realized. You must know that in order to save his mother, the emperor put back the slave chief Daishan and the three thousand Jianyu soldiers. His mother's deeds naturally spread with such a move, especially with Geng Zhongming's father and son, which made people feel the loyalty of Chen Shao'an's mother and son to Daming.

I only heard Emperor Chongzhen say loudly to Chen Shao'an: "You overcome all difficulties, return to the Ming Dynasty, and deal a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty, capture the slave chieftain Daishan, destroy the logistics of the Ming Dynasty, rescue more than 20,000 Ming people, and persuade Kong Youde to return to the Ming Dynasty and make a great contribution. ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone was surprised. It's not that I'm surprised that Chen Shao'an has so much credit, but that he won the Silver Ming Hero Medal that others don't have! It's a one-of-a-kind way!

Chen Shaoan himself thought it was just a commemorative medal, but he didn't expect it to be a silver medal, and it was also a medal with the title of "Ming Hero". Although he was armoured, he still knelt on one knee, clasped his hands into fists, and said loudly: "The last general bows to heaven!" ”

After he went down, everyone couldn't help but be a little curious, the emperor once said that the medal is divided into three types: gold, silver and bronze, and now there is a silver medal, so will there be a gold medal this time? What kind of merit can be awarded the Gold Medal?

When they were thinking about it, suddenly Emperor Chongzhen said loudly on the stage: "There is another person, from the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, when the Ming Dynasty began to achieve a series of wars, he has a share of his credit. It was only at that time that his merits were exceptional and could not be made public. Now, however, it is possible. I once said that as long as he is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, he will never let him shed blood and tears. I must keep in mind my contribution to the Ming Dynasty, and I will definitely give him the glory he deserves! ”

Hearing the emperor say this, all of a sudden, everyone immediately became curious, who could this person be? With the example of Chen Shao'an just now, coupled with the emperor's explanation, many people speculate that this person is definitely not a member of the army, and it is not good, and he is an existence similar to Chen Shao'an.

Of course, they were all guessing, but there was someone who knew who the emperor was referring to, so at the first time, he turned his eyes to the colleagues around him, who were also his subordinates, or his henchmen, with envy in his eyes, which could not be covered.
