It was about half a day later that Emperor Chongzhen's Chinese army arrived here.

Li Laiheng and the others, all with excitement, stepped forward to greet them.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The roar is deafening!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was able to find out about this side of the matter through the Grade A eavesdropping seed on Li Laiheng's body, and because of this, he came to help very quickly, so he could arrive in time to save them.

To be honest, he was very pleased with the final choice of Li Laiheng's department.

Fighting a good wind is something that everyone can do, even those who have just surrendered, even if they have just been recruited from the peasants, they will fight a good fight.

It can only be seen when an army is judged to be in a battle against the wind.

Li Laiheng's department has been tested, did not abandon his teammates, and is brave and fearless, this is the Ming army in the new era, and it is an example for all Ming troops to learn!

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Laiheng's subordinates, who knelt on one knee and greeted him, with a very solemn expression, turned over and dismounted, personally went over to help Li Laiheng, and said to them: "Qing and others have worked hard, you are good!" ”

The emperor personally came to help them and commended them personally, Li Laiheng and others, and at this moment, they felt that all the hard work was worth it. After getting up, he responded loudly: "The last general is just fulfilling his duties and doing his duty as a warrior!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen did not speak immediately, but walked slowly, looking at the rows of soldiers.

Although these soldiers exuded a stench all over their bodies, he did not dislike it, and there was no trace of unhappiness such as frowning.

People are thin and lose weight, and they are all exhausted. It is entirely conceivable how difficult it was for them to deal with the enemy during these few months.

Emperor Chongzhen learned from the eavesdropping system before that some soldiers were wavering and wanted to withdraw regardless of friendly troops. Now, however, he has understood.

This understanding does not mean that they can abandon their allies and withdraw. It's that they really said that kind of thing in a desperate situation.

The most important thing is that they all chose to stay in the end, and together with their comrades, they chose to fight to the death in order to defend the dignity of the warriors and the dignity of the Ming soldiers. This kind of spirit is needed by the Ming army at all times, and it must be well commended!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen had an idea.

After looking at each of the more than 3,000 soldiers, he turned around and walked to a high place on the side, condescendingly, looked at these soldiers, stretched out his hand to point at them, turned his head to the generals who followed him, and said loudly: "You all come and see, this is the most satisfactory battalion of soldiers I have." Look at them, and several times as many enemies as they have been wrestling for months. The lack of reinforcements and the lack of food and grass supplies dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's rear, making it impossible for the Ottoman army to attack Lahore with all its might, giving strong support to the friendly forces......"

When Emperor Chongzhen was right, the generals under him were naturally watching. As for the current situation of this army, just by looking at it, they can know it in their hearts.

Therefore, they have to admit that it is indeed not easy for Li Laiheng to be subordinated!

And when Li Laiheng's subordinates heard that the emperor was praising them and talking about the difficulties they encountered, to be honest, their hearts were moved and excited. Although heroes have no regrets, if heroic deeds can be known and affirmed, then of course it is the happiest thing!

Emperor Chongzhen said, suddenly his expression became more serious, looked at the generals around him, and said loudly: "What army is the strongest, what army can make the enemy fearful, and what army can often win battles......"

A series of questions were asked, and all the generals were awe-inspired. They understand that what the emperor says next is the point.

"It's faith, it's the soul of the army!" Emperor Chongzhen didn't wait for them to answer, so he said with a very serious attitude, "What is faith, what is the soul of the army?" It is the confidence that the Ming Dynasty will win, the unyielding fighting spirit that would rather die, and the dignity guarded by life! Don't give up, don't give up! ”

In this valley, there was only the voice of Emperor Chongzhen, which sounded loudly and powerfully. Tens of thousands of soldiers, all silent.

Although Emperor Chongzhen's words could only be heard clearly by the soldiers nearby, the emotion in his words could be transmitted to them.

The soldiers of Li Laiheng's subordinates who could hear the emperor's words were all very excited, not that the emperor praised them, but that the things they wanted to defend with their lives were told by the emperor!

Emperor Chongzhen's words were a little better for the generals of the Ming Dynasty, but to the ears of Racine and Punchuck and others, they were very shocked.

In the past, they never thought that there would be such a saying for the army. Looking at Li Laiheng's department in front of them, thinking back to what Emperor Chongzhen said, all of a sudden, they had a kind of enlightenment: It turns out that this is the Ming army!

They were thinking that Emperor Chongzhen had already turned his head, looked at Li Laiheng and the others who were very excited, and announced loudly: "I have decided that in the future, your battalion will be renamed the Seventh Battalion of Gang!" I hope that from now on, your Seventh Battalion of Steel will pass on your military soul from generation to generation. People can grow old, and the military soul must be there! ”

This is an independent number from the hussar camp, and it can have its own number, at least in the history of the Ming Army, it will inevitably leave a heavy mark. There is no doubt that this is definitely the greatest honor for the military!

When Li Laiheng and the others heard this, they immediately knelt down on one knee and thanked them!

However, there is also a very big mystery in the history of the Ming Army, that is, future generations can't understand why the emperor gave the name of the seven battalions of steel?

Steel characters are easy to understand! But what about seven? What do you mean by these seven words?

The seventh has such a glorious number? Count and count, even if you count all the dynasties, it feels like this seven characters are wrong!

Could it be that it is the soul of the Seventh Battalion of Steel that makes up the seven fine traditions? Counting it, it seems to be very reluctant, it doesn't feel like it!

In short, no one has a positive answer. The prestige of the emperor is too high, and no one asks because of this, why is it named the Seventh Battalion of Steel instead of the First Battalion of Steel?

In this era, it is naturally impossible for anyone to know. The reason why Emperor Chongzhen named the Seventh Battalion of Steel is completely from the Seventh Company of Steel in a very good TV series in later generations!

The reason for this is the performance of Li Laiheng's department, and he feels that it is the same as the military spirit of the Seventh Steel Company at the beginning. There is another point, which can be regarded as a little commemoration of the past life of the traverser! However, in doing so, it has also made future generations of experts miserable!

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen even announced: "The chief soldier of the Seventh Battalion of Steel will be given the title of Earl of Gangzhen." This title is hereditary from the Seventh Battalion of Steel. The first chief soldier of the 7th Gang Battalion, who was knighted as Uncle Gang, was for Li Laiheng! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he immediately made all the soldiers look sideways, there is such a thing?

This has never been the case before!

Leaders with knighthoods, this is very common. For example, Punchuck is not a dukedom, and Racine is also a marquis, but this title is only their private and not hereditary.

And this Uncle Gang Zhen belongs to the Seventh Battalion of Steel, as long as he can be the chief soldier of the Seventh Battalion of Steel, he can automatically obtain this title.

From this, you can see how different the Steel Seven Battalion is!

After being stunned, Li Laiheng hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order, and suddenly became a steel uncle.

Looking at Li Laiheng, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen said to him solemnly: "Li Qing must remember that the Seventh Battalion of Steel is here, and Uncle Gang Zhenbo is here." If the military soul of the Seventh Battalion of Steel is not there, the number of the Seventh Battalion of Steel will be cancelled, and Uncle Gang Zhenbo will be gone. The glory of the Seven Battalions of Steel depends on yourselves, you know? ”

"The last general understands, and the last general swears that he will defend the military soul of the Seventh Battalion of Steel with his life!" Li Laiheng echoed excitedly.

Emperor Chongzhen should have said everything, so he didn't say anything else, and after seeing that the soldiers were tired after the passion of victory, he ordered the whole army to rest for three days.

During these three days, the officers and men of the other battalions had to hold a forum with the officers and men of the 7th Gang Battalion to introduce the heroic deeds of the 7th Gang Battalion.

This so-called symposium is actually a gathering of soldiers to listen to the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion of Steel tell about their experiences.

For Emperor Chongzhen, as long as he led the army himself, it was easy to defeat the enemy. Therefore, he was in no hurry to pursue the enemy.

And the army rushed over to rescue in a row, and it also needed to rest. At the same time, the sheep and supplies waiting for the back road will not be left too far behind the army. On the side of the Seventh Battalion of Steel, it is even more necessary to take a rest.

At this time of recuperation, use the deeds of the Seventh Battalion of Steel to influence the other armies of the Ming Dynasty, so that they can understand what kind of army is the real Ming army and the army that Emperor Chongzhen values for him!

The rewards and merits of the other soldiers of the Seventh Battalion of Steel still need to wait until the battle is over. One thing is for sure, the treatment of the Seventh Battalion of Steel will definitely be better than that of other armies, and it will also have a greater sense of honor.

Emperor Chongzhen hoped that in the Ming army, there would not be only one steel seventh battalion, and there would not be only one steel Zhenbo. He hoped that in the future performance of the Ming army, he would be able to seal more steel seven battalions and more steel Zhenbo!

Three days later, Emperor Chongzhen could feel that the mental outlook of the entire army was very different from when he first set off from Mingwei Fort.

This difference does not refer to morale. After all, the army under the personal command of Emperor Chongzhen has never been a problem.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew what it was, and he was very relieved in his heart. After this war is over, he is also going to compile the deeds of the Seventh Battalion into commentaries, dramas, etc., which will be widely circulated. If there are capable people who write poems and lyrics for this, the kind that can be passed on through the ages, it would be the best. It's just a pity that Emperor Chongzhen himself doesn't have this ability, so he won't be ugly.

Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen waved his sword and pointed south, and the army set off again, aiming directly at Lahore.
