When Emperor Chongzhen went online, he also saw the message sent by Li Dingguo for the first time, as well as Yang Sichang's sycophancy, and suddenly, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. As soon as he was the first time, he had a feeling of being a famous player.

Li Dingguo is worthy of being Li Dingguo, he actually completed a classic battle at a young age, and he already has the shadow of a hussar general in the Han Dynasty! Not bad, not bad! The cultivation of him before is worth it!

Emperor Chongzhen was very pleased, and learned that Yang Sichang had sent Man Gui to respond, so he was also very satisfied with Yang Sichang's arrangement, and replied to praise him, and then chatted privately with Li Dingguo, asked about the specific battle situation, and when he got there, he felt safe, so he was relieved.

After being overjoyed, after thinking about it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen made a decision, and immediately temporarily set up a chat group, and pulled all the officials in the chat group, regardless of their positions, into a temporary group, and then posted all the specific experiences of Li Dingguo's battle and the dialogue of the results into the group, and forwarded the photos taken by Li Dingguo on the spot.

As a result, all of a sudden, the civilian, military and military generals in the group were shocked.

The reason why Huo Qubing became a legend and the pride of the Central Plains Dynasty was because almost no one could replicate his achievements. But now, in the Ming Dynasty where he lived, there was also a seventeen-year-old boy who led 800 horsemen to destroy tens of thousands of enemies in the extreme west, and his own losses were almost insignificant. In this war, as long as Huo Qu's illness was known, the two of them were connected.

It is true that Li Dingguo's battle can be said to have a certain foundation for victory because of his previous influence. For example, the mentality of the frightened bird of the Khalkha tribe, but if it is replaced by someone else, it may not have the courage to seize such an opportunity, and make full use of such an opportunity, and finally win more with less, and achieve a classic.

The people in the group were shocked, and they congratulated Emperor Chongzhen one after another, and Daming also had a hussar general!

Of course, many people know that Emperor Chongzhen used to cultivate Li Dingguo extraordinarily, so they also patted the emperor's sycophants, discerning heroes, and with the emperor's knowledge, they can have Li Dingguo's extraordinary achievements!

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to hear this, this was indeed a proud work in his heart. Even in the future history books, when Li Dingguo's battle is mentioned, it is inevitable that he will be mentioned to Emperor Chongzhen.

If Huo Quzhi is a natural general, then Li Dingguo was cultivated by Emperor Chongzhen, at least one point, in the cultivation of famous generals, he Emperor Chongzhen definitely contributed more than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

Emperor Chongzhen decided that for this war and Li Dingguo's deeds, he must vigorously publicize it. Although there is no need to make a national tour report like later generations, there is a factory guard system and a post station system, and there are already enough ways to spread.

For Li Dingguo's merits, he must be rewarded!

However, when it came to this, some people objected, saying that Li Dingguo was only 17 years old after all, and if the reward was too heavy, he was afraid that it would pull out the seedlings and help them grow, which was not conducive to Li Dingguo's growth.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not listen. He pays more attention to Li Dingguo than any other official, and he knows Li Dingguo better than anyone else. That's a young guy, maybe because of the experience of his youth, he has tasted life far more than ordinary teenagers, so he is much more mature. With Emperor Chongzhen's understanding of Li Dingguo, he will definitely not be fluttering because of this!

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen's reward for Li Dingguo also has another intention. It is to set Li Dingguo as an example in the army.

Li Dingguo can be regarded as a representative of the combination of practice and theory, that is, the combination of war training and the study of the martial arts hall. The fact that he was able to achieve such an achievement at such a young age shows that this path is the right one. It will inevitably attract more elites in the military who are eager to enter the martial arts hall to study. And rewarding Li Dingguo will make the Ming soldiers who are eager to worship the generals and marquis even more eager for military exploits.

After Mangui received Li Dingguo, further confirmed the battle record, and reported the situation to the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order, so meritorious, Li Dingguo was named Ming Weibo, the deputy chief soldier of Tianprovince. In other words, Li Dingguo was a count at a young age, and his position in the army was promoted from a general flag to a deputy general soldier who can be called a "big marshal".

This reward immediately shocked everyone, especially the officers and men in the army. It can be said that they were shocked at the same time, but more envious.

Li Dingguo is only seventeen years old, and he has been named a marquis because of his military exploits, and then look at himself, how old he is, and he has not achieved anything. Sealing the wife and the shadow, glorifying the ancestors or something, when will it be realized?

Li Dingguo's deeds made many people ashamed, and then they were unwilling, and they also wanted to make military achievements and make meritorious contributions. All of a sudden, the number of soldiers in the army who were eager to fight and make military achievements surged again.

In the garrison of the Japanese State, many soldiers asked to go east to the Pacific Ocean, go to the Americas and fight in the West, open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and also have a chance to make meritorious contributions to themselves.

In Tian Province, the morale of the soldiers left behind was high, and they asked for war one after another, wanting to crusade against Tsarist Russia as soon as possible, and also giving themselves a chance to make meritorious contributions.

The officers and men of the Ming army who were fighting in Goa were like being beaten with chicken blood, their subjective initiative was greatly improved, and the progress of the war was greatly advanced.

Even Zhang Xianzhong, who had been staying in Jindi as a guerrilla, was ashamed to be idle. He didn't expect that only a few years later, the righteous son he used to be would compare him to him in all aspects.

"Blue is better than blue!" Zhang Xianzhong commented so self-deprecatingly, and his mind was activated.

He was a little embarrassed to let him be transferred to the Western Regions to participate in the war against Tsarist Russia. It can be expected that since Li Dingguo has been promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of Tianxing, he will definitely become the main commander of the war against Tsarist Russia like Man Gui in the future. At that time, all the troops fighting against Tsarist Russia will basically obey orders under Li Dingguo or Man Gui. He Zhang Xianzhong felt that he couldn't afford to lose this face.

So, he set his mind to that place in the Americas. For the Ming Dynasty to open up territory and expand the territory, such military feats are also easy to establish!

At this time, the Chinese did not have any psychological inferiority towards Xiyi, unlike the Manchu Qing Dynasty, let alone the Republic of China. Isn't it just Xiyi, Da Ming can beat them so that their parents can't recognize them!

In addition to the desire of the army to make military achievements like Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo's legendary war was also widely disseminated among the people. In this folk communication, it is natural to carry out a certain amount of artistic processing. For example, he will exaggerate his opponent a little, so that Li Dingguo can appear more powerful. The label of a great Ming hussar general was printed on Li Dingguo's body and recited everywhere.

According to Wu Ergou, the leader of the underground forces, many people in the rivers and lakes under him are thinking of joining the army, and they are also like Li Dingguo to make a contribution to his wife's shadow.

In this way, unconsciously, the martial atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was quietly affecting the Ming Dynasty. And this is also what Emperor Chongzhen wants to see.

However, after Li Dingguo's deeds spread, some people were a little sour. For example, at this time, Tian Guifei pestered Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, what can I do with my concubine's son in the future?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand this thoughtless words for a while, so he asked, "What should I do?" How can my son be wronged? ”

Tian Guifei gave birth to a son for Emperor Chongzhen, who was almost two years old. I also had cowpox and was in good health.

Tian Guifei listened and said coquettishly: "Now the places around Daming have been sealed. Even Nanyang has already divided the feudal kings. In the future, our son, does Your Majesty want him to go to the cold side of Tsarist Russia? ”

According to the current national policy of the imperial court, most of the territory laid down is used to divide the feudal kings.

Before Emperor Chongzhen could reply, Tian Guifei continued: "Also, Your Majesty can train a hussar general, and our son will go out to become a vassal, should he also be trained, so that he can live better in the vassal country?" ”

"Where are you?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, he was only a two-year-old child, and he had so much to worry about!

When Tian Guifei heard this, she became anxious, and hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, when our son grows up, this ...... There is still a place in the world that can be divided! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Don't worry about it, I still have a place for my sons, it's definitely not a cold place!" Moreover, there will be no strong enemies around! ”

When Tian Guifei heard this, she was overjoyed, so she asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, could it be that America?" ”

The Americas are also going to be divided into feudal kings, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "No, that place has not been discovered by the world, the area is as big as our previous Ming Dynasty, the climate is definitely not cold, and there are no strong enemies around, as long as there is a strong navy, it is safe!" ”

"Your Majesty, where is this?" When Tian Guifei heard this, she couldn't help but ask happily.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't tell her, and said to her: "You don't have to worry about this, you should worry about it, just serve me well!" ”

Tian Guifei heard the decisiveness in his words and knew that she couldn't say it anymore, so she obediently began to serve the emperor again.

Early the next morning, Emperor Chongzhen went to Tongzhou with hundreds of civil and military officials in a refreshed spirit. This kind of thing, in the past, it was impossible. But now, not only has it become the norm for the emperor to leave the palace, but even civil and military officials can leave the capital. Of course, among the yamen, those officials who actually do things still stay in the yamen.

A group of people waited, in fact, it was a matter of a train, so they sat in the train and chatted, and before they knew it, they soon arrived in Tongzhou. This traffic is much better than before.

"Do the math, it has been a few years since the emperor ordered to start building this steamship, and now there is finally a real result!"

"I didn't expect it, we only started to build so many sailboats a few years ago, and now, we are going to be eliminated again!"

"That's not the case, those sailboats are more suitable for sailing on the sea and ocean, and now this steam ironclad ship is still too small to be suitable for the sea and the ocean."

"That's right, but after hearing that the emperor is driving today, he is going to build a large steam ironclad ship in the Nanjing Shipyard, which is the one who will eliminate the sailboat."

“……”

This is basically a discussion between civilian officials, and in addition, in the carriage, the discussion of those military generals is much more enthusiastic.

"Ironclad battleship, you don't need to rely on the wind, once this becomes a scale, who will still be my opponent on the sea in the future?"

"Don't talk about ironclad battleships, just now, our Ming sail battleship sea can drown any opponent!"

"Looking at the current situation, who would have thought that the newly established Daming Navy seems to have latecomers on top, surpassing the situation of our army, when will our army also have such a good means of transportation, oh no, fast warships?"

"This is not necessarily, have you heard of it, the emperor's apprentice in Nanjing, the real protégé of the Son of Heaven, is working on an airship, it is said that he already has a score, and he can't figure it out when he can really do it. At that time, our army will also have a weapon of mass destruction. Think about it, when our Ming army and the enemy were facing each other, suddenly our Ming army flew into the sky, haha, it can scare the opponent to death! ”

"Don't be too happy, it's said that after those airships came out, they wanted to establish the Ming Air Force, which is the army in the air, not the army."

"What, no, is it possible that the three armies in the future will refer to the three armies of the navy, land and air force?"

“……”

While the civil and military officials were chatting, the train whistle sounded, the steam sprayed, and a thick mist came out, arriving at the Tongzhou Railway Station.

Emperor Chongzhen took hundreds of civil and military officials and soon arrived at the Tongzhou shipyard. Nowadays, they are no longer surprised by the steam ironclad ship. After all, after so many years of experimentation, they have been accepted.

This time, it was a time when the steam ironclad ship was really successfully reviewed, and Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was of commemorative significance, so he brought hundreds of civil and military officials to witness this historical moment.

On the other side of the Tongzhou River, countless people also gathered to watch the excitement. There are fewer locals, and more people are people who came from Beijing or farther away in advance, and they are still relatively strange to steam ironclad ships. However, now that scientific and technological knowledge has become popular, no one will ask such a childish question as "how can iron float on water?"

Everything that followed was logical, and the steam ironclad ship performed back and forth on the Tongzhou River, proving that its performance was reliable enough. Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised by this, and knew that in the future, the great rivers of the Ming Dynasty should begin to popularize this kind of steam boat. The next step is to build a larger steam ironclad ship, this, this side of the Tongzhou River is too small, there is no condition, he is ready to let the Nanjing Shipyard and Tianjin Shipyard two places, divided into north and south, to start the development of large steam ironclad warships that can be used at sea.

In the future, wherever the ocean reaches, there must be a Ming flag flying!
