When Ma Xianglin heard this, he immediately replied without hesitation: "The emperor is wise and martial, and he is a martial artist, and he is chasing Taizu Chengzu, and even ...... And even more! “

Hearing 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, it is even more powerful than my Chao Taizu and Cheng Zu, how can I see it?" ”

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he showed a look of admiration, and explained with fascination: "Liaodong Jianyu has gone through three dynasties, and my Ming Dynasty can't put down the rebellion, but makes it the founder of the country and called the emperor. However, after the emperor ascended the throne, he personally trained the new army, promoted talents, and then kept pressing Jianyu to fight, and finally beat Jianyu to the death of the country, so that my Ming was able to recover Liaodong, and even add a Korean ......"

Because of his wife Zhang Fengyi's relationship in the chat group, Ma Xianglin can basically understand what happened in Daming in time. Therefore, he knew everything about the achievements of Emperor Chongzhen. Qin Liangyu listened slightly, with a smile on his face, and did not interrupt him, and continued to listen.

“…… Also, even if Taizu became an ancestor, he never included Mongolia in the territory, and also 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 extreme north to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty to the edge of the sky. Ma Xianglin prefers to lead troops to fight, so first of all, he said these things related to the war, and as he spoke, his eyebrows flew and danced, as if he had personally participated in this local war, and he was honored, "There are also tile thorns in the west, but in the past, they have all the elites left by Chengzu, but here in the emperor, they fled when they heard the wind and called them ministers." There are others, Xiyi in the south, the Lu'an Rebellion in the west, etc., all of which were quelled by the emperor......"

Speaking of this in one breath, Ma Xianglin finally rested. However, he immediately looked at his mother again and continued: "As for the plight of the vassal king, it was all left by Taizu Chengzu, and I originally thought that this matter was unsolvable, and it was like this in all dynasties. But today's emperor has a big vision, and he even thought of sealing the vassal king to a place outside the country, and he didn't need the court to pay for it, and by the way, he could appease the displaced people and disaster victims around my Ming Dynasty, and also let my Ming prestige spread farther. Looking at the words and deeds of the Tang King, he is also happy, this move can be described as a win-win situation for the court and the vassal king, no, and the people of the Ming Dynasty also benefited from it, it is a win-win ......."

Qin Liangyu watched his son talk endlessly, his heart was extremely relieved, and he kept a smile on his face, so he quietly listened to what his son was saying.

“…… However, what surprised the emperor even more was that what the emperor had done in the past few years was unprecedented, not only in the Taizu and Chengzu periods, but also in any previous dynasty! When Ma Xianglin said this, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and began to count his fingers, "The emperor invented cement, opened the Daming Road and Bridge Company, used paper money, established the Daming Construction Bank, and invented the steam engine...... It is another miraculous invention of the emperor. I heard that the emperor once said that this is an extraordinary effect, and I can use it to greatly improve my Daming, such as using it in cars and boats, and I think that this emperor's ability is really incredible, by the way, what kind of science and technology, and very powerful learning......"

He couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows dancing endlessly, which made Zhang Fengyi, who was not far away, wonder in his heart. Of course she knows her husband, and he is not usually such a person! Don't know what you're talking about? I was so excited!

Thinking like this, she was extraordinarily curious, but it was a pity that her mother-in-law had an order, and she didn't dare to go over to listen to it.

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, that's right, this emperor of our Ming Dynasty is really an emperor through the ages!" It is foreseeable that under the governance of the current emperor, the Ming Dynasty will be extremely powerful, and I am convinced of this! ”

Seeing his mother's approval, Ma Xianglin was also very happy.

However, Qin Liangyu immediately changed his words and said, "So, my son, do you think the emperor will allow the existence of Tusi?" Think about it, even the vassal king has to be feudal overseas, and Tusi can still ignore it? Therefore, it is not a rumor to change the land and return to the stream, but it will be inevitable in the future! ”

As soon as she heard her bring the topic to the topic of changing the land and returning to the stream, Ma Xianglin felt as if he had been poured a basin of cold water, and the whole person's high emotions dropped in an instant.

Qin Liangyu didn't care about him, and continued: "This change of land and return to the stream does harm the interests of Tusi, but so what? The trend of the times, those who can't recognize the situation, can only end up with a mantis arm blocking the car! Even if the Tusi of the whole world rebelled together, they were not under their control, and they were just a group of rabble. At most, the imperial court tossed a little more, and it would definitely be able to suppress it in the end. Even if we are a white-pole army, can we destroy it? But the new army of the imperial court can. Do you think that our white pole army can win the new army? How much military strength can our white pole army have, and how much military strength can we fight against the endless new army? ”

Ma Xianglin has always been proud of his mother for bringing out such a white-pole elite soldier. But at this time, when I heard what my mother said, I couldn't help but feel like a leather ball, and I was deflated. He can give answers to his mother's questions without hesitation.

Qin Liangyu naturally saw his son's emotional changes in his eyes, and knew that what he said, his son listened to it, so he continued: "Besides, the Tusi system was before the Yuan, but there was no one. It's normal to be gone. Nothing can be the same forever. Our stone pillars, in this rolling torrent of history, must not be blocked and smashed to pieces, but to adapt to the times, so that it can last for a long time! ”

When she said this, she suddenly smiled, her face became serious, and she said to Ma Xianglin seriously: "My mother has always taught you, the world's affairs, do something and don't do anything, a man's husband, be a student Yue Feiwen Tianxiang, be loyal to the country, and be famous for a hundred years!" Therefore, even in the eventful autumn of the Ming Dynasty and the difficulties of the imperial court, your two uncles did not hesitate to go out on the expedition and die in the Hun River in Liaodong for the Ming Dynasty! Although there are traitors in the court, so that your father is sick and on death, but your father told your mother not to hold grudges, the country is the country, and the traitors are traitors, so they should be distinguished. And your grandfather also had a lot of teachings. The Qin family, the Ma family......"

Speaking of this, she looked up at Zhang Fengyi not far away, then turned back to look at her son and continued: "There is also the Zhang family, all of them are loyal and good, and they regard themselves as loyal ministers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty, and they have no regrets about defending their families and defending the country!" ”

Ma Xianglin listened, looking back at his mother in a daze, 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, knowing that we are also toasts, but he has never doubted it at all, just because we have been doing loyal things!" Moreover, the emperor is not thin on us, for a woman, the emperor can be knighted without hesitation, you say, such a thing, has there ever been such a thing in the previous dynasty? Believe it or not, in the future, as long as we devote ourselves to state affairs, there will be more than one earl. This time, the merits of the Tang Kingdom will inevitably be rewarded. ”

A woman is knighted, or a loyal martyr, which was unheard of before, and when the emperor ordered it, Ma Xianglin was shocked not to want it. At that time, he was very proud, and whose mother could be named an earl by the imperial court, or a very praised loyal martyr.

Qin Liangyu may have been talking for a long time, looking at his son's expression, he felt that he had almost said it, and finally said solemnly: "Whether it is toast or title, it is just a gift from the imperial court to us, and we have a different name." What we have to do is to keep our hearts and have a loyal heart, and that's enough! ”

"Mother, my son has figured it out, no matter what aspect it is, my son will follow my mother's teachings!" Ma Xianglin was brought up by Qin Liangyu since he was a child, and after such a teaching, he has suddenly become enlightened and is no longer entangled in the matter of changing the land and returning to the stream. As soon as the heart disease is gone, the whole person looks energetic. The one-eyed Ma Chao, who used to be alive and well, is back.

Qin Liangyu couldn't help but smile happily when he saw it in his eyes, and said to Ma Xianglin: "Just let my son's prestige shock the southwest of the Ming Dynasty." is also like the emperor, blue out of blue is better than blue. Wei Niang believes that my son's achievements will be even higher than General Fubo in the future. ”

Ma Xianglin's ancestor is the Eastern Han Dynasty Fubo general Ma Yuan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once widely placed the rank of general, the highest rank is the general, the hussar general, the chariot general, the Wei general, followed by the front, rear, left and right generals, as well as many titled generals, General Fubo is one of the many titled generals. Qin Liangyu means that he is optimistic that Ma Xianglin will also be a general in the future.

Ma Xianglin listened to it and grinned, he was naturally very happy to be appreciated by his most respected mother.

When Qin Liangyu saw it, he said with a loving smile on his face: "Don't smirk, call your daughter-in-law over, I want to hear about the new things about my Ming Dynasty, especially the new invention!" ”

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he immediately became interested, agreed, and hurriedly waved to his daughter-in-law, and asked for gossip after calling over. Speaking of which, it's really good to have this daughter-in-law, not only can she be as civil and martial as her mother, but more importantly, she also has this magical ability, which can not only go straight to the sky, but also hear all kinds of news thousands of miles away, which is simply a pleasure 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 again, and her spirit was very good, she was also very happy for this, and when she heard that her mother-in-law and her husband wanted to listen to gossip, she drove her horse to keep walking with her mother-in-law and husband, and at the same time talked about the news heard in the chat group: "The emperor was very angry with the brutal and shameless Franc Man, and while ordering the vigorous expansion of the sailor, he also personally drove Tongzhou, and wanted to inspect the shipyard over there to check the situation of the warships with new machines installed. Some people say that our current warships in the Ming Dynasty are not as good as those in Xiyi, and in the vicinity of the Ming Dynasty, the shortcomings are not obvious, but if we fight in the ocean, there will be problems, and the emperor wants to solve this problem......"

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

As Zhang Fengyi said, Emperor Chongzhen had justifiably left Jingshi at this time and went to Tongzhou. As for the effect of thermodynamics on warships, he was a scholarly authority, and he could not let anyone else do it for him. Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen had been to Jiangnan before, and he had personally conquered the imperial army, and he had left the capital more than once, whether it was for the civil and military officials in the court, or the people in Beijing, it was a little strange. Besides, this time I went to Tongzhou, which is very close to Beijing, and not many people have an opinion on this.

Tongzhou Shipyard, just in Zhangjiawan, the emperor came in person, this area was under martial law, and it was impossible for idle people to get close. Even on the opposite bank, there are countless officers and soldiers, guarding along the river bank, not allowing idle people to have a chance to enter the water. However, countless people who rushed to hear the news were waiting outside the cordon, and they wanted to see with their own eyes what was going on after the new gadgets were moved to the ship. How did this new type of thermally powered warship sail on the water......

In short, they were very curious about the new ship. So much so that after the royal car left Beijing, many people in Beijing followed. Of course, this is also one of the purposes for Emperor Chongzhen to come to Tongzhou with great fanfare. The promotion of science and technology is the most convincing if it is necessary to speak with facts!

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was listening to the advice of the shipyard steward and eunuch: "According to His Majesty's instructions, the slaves and maids let them start several different plans at the same time. The wooden boat was rebuilt and equipped with new equipment, and two ...... were used for propulsion power: paddle wheel and propeller."

Paddle wheels have been used as a driving force for propulsion, regardless of the East and the West, for a long time in history. Therefore, for the manufacture of paddle wheels, Daming shipwrights are naturally familiar with it, and it is also fast to build. The propeller was proposed by Emperor Chongzhen according to later generations. Of course, when Emperor Chongzhen was in later generations, he was not a professional shipper, and he had only seen some propellers in movies and television, such as the beginning of Wolf Warrior 2. Therefore, after he roughly described it, it was up to the Ming craftsmen to create the experiment.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was listening carefully to the eunuch's admonition: "...... The paddle wheel was first designed and is now ready for testing. His Majesty made it clear that the propeller was more advanced than the paddle wheel, so the slave did not dare to slack off, and focused on supervising the construction of the propeller, and had also built different types of propellers, which were not installed on the three-dimensional wooden boat. Now a total of four thermo-powered wooden boats have been prepared, so the slaves and maids will report to His Majesty quickly. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, a variety of plans, go hand in hand to test, this is 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, then nodded and said, "Spread the order, start the test!" ”
