When Ma Xianglin heard this, he immediately replied without hesitation: "The emperor is wise and wise, civil and military skills, and he is chasing Taizu Chengzu, and even... even has it even been better!"

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

After hearing this, Ma Xianglin showed an admiration and explained with fascination: "The Jianlu in Liaodong has gone through three dynasties. My Ming Dynasty was unable to suppress the rebellion, but instead made him become an emperor. I originally thought that Jianlu was already difficult to control! However, after the emperor ascended the throne, he personally trained new troops and promoted talents. Then he kept suppressing Jianlu and finally defeated Jianlu until his country was destroyed. Therefore, our Ming Dynasty was able to recover Liaodong, and even a North Korea..."

Because of his wife Zhang Fengyi's relationship in the chat group, Ma Xianglin and others could basically understand what happened in the Ming Dynasty in time. Therefore, he knew the achievements of Emperor Chongzhen. Qin Liangyu nodded slightly when he heard this, with a smile on his face, and continued to listen.

"... Also, even Taizu Chengzu did not include Mongolia in the territory, and set up a governor's office to make it a province of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the emperor was even more ambitious and had sent troops to the extreme north to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty to the horizon." Ma Xianglin liked to lead troops to fight, so he first talked about these things related to war. As he was talking, he became furious, as if he had personally participated in these wars, and was honored. "There were also the Wassai in the west who had captured all the elite troops left by Chengzu in one place, but in the emperor, he fled and paid tribute. There were other Western barbarians in the south, the She'an rebellion in the west, etc., all of them were pacified by the emperor..."

Speaking of this in one breath, Ma Xianglin finally took a break. However, he immediately looked at his mother and continued, "As for the trap of the vassal kings, they were all left by Emperor Chengzu. I originally thought that this matter was unsolvable, and it was like this in all dynasties. But the emperor now has a great vision and actually thought of enfeoffing the vassal kings to places outside the dynasty, and without the court's money, it can also appease the refugees and disaster victims around the Ming Dynasty, and spread the prestige of the Ming Dynasty even further. Looking at the words and deeds of the Tang Dynasty, I was also happy. This move can be said to be a win-win situation for the court and the vassal kings. No, the people of the Ming Dynasty also benefited from it, which is a win-win situation..."

Qin Liangyu looked at her son talking endlessly, feeling extremely relieved, and she kept smiling on her face, and listened quietly as her son was talking.

"... But what surprised the emperor even more was that what the emperor did in the past few years was unprecedented. Not only did Taizu, but also never had it during the Chengzu period, but it was not even in any dynasty in the past!" When Ma Xianglin said this, he couldn't help but reach out and 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 was another magical invention by the emperor. I heard that the emperor once said that this has extraordinary effects and can be used to greatly improve our Ming Dynasty. For example, if you use it on cars and ships, you will think that the emperor's ability is really incredible. By the way, there are still technology and very powerful knowledge..."

His endless speech made Zhang Fengyi, who was not far away, wondered. Of course, she knew her husband, who was not like this, usually! She didn't know what she was talking about? She was so excited!

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

Qin Liangyu always listened with a smile, and waited until Ma Xianglin finished speaking that she looked at her excited son and said, "My son, right, this emperor of our Ming Dynasty is really the emperor of the ages! It can be foreseeable that the Ming Dynasty will be extremely powerful under the rule of the current emperor. Wei Niang believes in this!"

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

However, Qin Liangyu immediately changed the subject and said, "So, my son, do you think the emperor will allow the existence of chieftains? Think about it, even the vassal kings must be feudal overseas, so the chieftains can ignore it? Therefore, changing the land and returning to the current is not a rumor, but it will be inevitable in the future!"

As soon as she heard that she brought the topic to the relocation of soil and flow, Ma Xianglin felt like a basin of cold water was poured on, and her whole body's high mood instantly declined.

Qin Liangyu ignored him and continued, "This change of land and return to the capital did indeed harm the interests of the chieftains, but so what? As the general trend is, those who cannot recognize the situation will end up being able to stop the car by a mantis arm! Even if the chieftains in the world rebelled together and were not subordinate to each other, they were just a group of mobs. The court would only make more trouble at most, and it would definitely be able to suppress it in the end. Even if our Baigang Army faced Jianlu, could it be destroyed? But the new army of the court could. Do you think our Baigang Army could win the new army? How much military strength can our Baigang Army have to fight an endless new army?"

Ma Xianglin has always been proud that his mother was able to bring out such a white-rod elite soldier. But at this time, when he heard what his mother said, he couldn't help but feel like a ball, and he was instantly relieved. He could give the answer to his mother's questions without hesitation.

Qin Liangyu naturally saw his son's emotional changes. He knew that he had said that his son listened to him, so he continued: "Besides, the chieftain system was not before the Yuan Dynasty. It is normal to lose it in the future. Nothing can never change. In this torrent of history, we must do not stop it and be crushed to pieces, but to follow the current situation so that we can last forever!"

When she said this, she suddenly closed her smile, her face became serious, and said to Ma Xianglin seriously: "I have always taught you that in the world, there are things to do and not do. A man should learn from Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang, be loyal to the country and be remembered forever! Therefore, even in the troubled times of the Ming Dynasty and the difficult times of the court, your two uncles did not hesitate to go to war and died in the Hunhe River in Liaodong! Although there were treacherous ministers in the court, your father told you not to have resentment for your mother. The country is a country, and treacherous ministers are treacherous ministers, so you should distinguish them. There are also your grandfather who has taught you. Qin family, Ma family..."

Speaking of this, she looked up at Zhang Fengyi not far away, then turned around and looked at her son and continued: "The Zhang family is also a loyal descendant. They regard themselves as loyal ministers and generals of the Ming Dynasty, and will defend their country without regrets!"

Ma Xianglin listened and looked back at his mother in a daze, obviously thinking about something in his heart.

Qin Liangyu's expression calmed down a little after saying this, but he still said very seriously: "Besides, the emperor has always trusted him very much. Even though he knew that we were also chieftains, he had never doubted him at all, just because we have always done loyalty and righteous things! Moreover, the emperor is not bad to us. For a woman, the emperor can be awarded title without hesitation. Do you think such things have happened in the previous dynasty? Do you believe it or not? In the future, as long as we do our national affairs, there will be more than one count. This time the Tang Dynasty's contribution will inevitably be rewarded."

A woman was still a loyal and wise uncle, which was unprecedented in the past. When the emperor issued the order, Ma Xianglin was shocked and wanted to be despised. At that time, he was very proud of who could be named a count by the court, and he was still a very praised loyal and wise uncle.

Qin Liangyu may have been talking for a long time, and when he looked at his son's expression, he felt that he had said almost the same thing. Finally, he said solemnly: "Whether the chieftain or the title is just a gift from the court to us, and it is just a different name. What we need to do is to maintain our original heart and have a loyal and righteous heart, so that is enough!"

"Mom, I have figured it out. No matter from that aspect, I will follow my mother's teachings!" Ma Xianglin was raised by Qin Liangyu since childhood. After such teachings, he suddenly became enlightened and no longer focused on changing the land and returning to the land. Once his heart was gone, he seemed full of energy. Ma Chao, who was once alive, came back.

Qin Liangyu saw it and couldn't help but smile happily, saying to Ma Xianglin: "Let my son's reputation shock the southwest of the Ming Dynasty. Like the emperor, he is better than the blue than the blue. I believe that my son's achievements will be even better than General Fu Bo in the future."

Ma Xianglin's ancestor was General Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ma Yuan. Emperor Wu of Han once appointed the rank of generals, and the highest-ranking generals were Generals, Generals of Cavalry, Generals of Vessels, Generals of Guards, Generals of Front, Back, Left, Right, and There are also many titled generals. General Fubo is one of these many titled generals. Qin Liangyu meant that he was optimistic that Ma Xianglin would be appointed as a general in the future.

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he smiled. He was naturally very happy to be praised by his most respected mother.

When Qin Liangyu saw this, he showed a loving smile on his face and said, "Don't smile foolishly, call his wife over. I want to hear about the latest news about my Ming Dynasty, especially the new invention!"

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he immediately became interested. He agreed and waved to his wife. He called over and asked for gossip. Speaking of which, it was great to have this wife. Not only could she be as literary and martial as her mother, but more importantly, she also had such magical ability, which could reach the sky and hear various news thousands of miles away. This is simply a pleasure in daily life!

Zhang Fengyi saw that her mother-in-law and her husband seemed to have talked about something, and then her husband became cheerful again and was very energetic. She was also very happy about this. When she heard that her mother-in-law and husband were going to listen to gossip, she drove her horse to keep walking with her mother-in-law and husband, while talking endlessly about the news heard in the chat group: "The emperor was very angry at the brutal and shameless Folang Ji people. While issuing an order to vigorously expand the navy, she also personally drove to Tongzhou to inspect the shipyard there and check the situation of the warships with new machines installed. Some people say that the current warships in our Ming Dynasty are not as good as those of the Western Barbarians. They are not obvious around the Ming Dynasty, but if there is a long-distance war, there will be problems. The emperor is going to solve this problem..."

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

As Zhang Fengyi said, Emperor Chongzhen had already left the capital with justification and went to Tongzhou at this time. He was a knowledgeable authority regarding the effect of thermal power on warships and could not let others take over him. Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen had been to Jiangnan before and personally led the army to fight. He had left the capital more than once. Whether it was the civil and military officials in the court or the people in the capital, he was a little surprised. Besides, this time he went to Tongzhou, which was very close to the capital, and not many people had any opinions about it.

Tongzhou Shipyard is in Zhangjiawan. The emperor is here, and this area is under martial law and it is impossible for idle people to approach. Even on the other side, there are countless officers and soldiers guarding along the river bank, so that they will not have the opportunity to get into 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 happened after the fresh thing was moved to the ship? How did this new thermal warship sail on the water...

In short, they were very curious about this new warship. So much so that after the imperial lord left the capital, many people from the capital followed. Of course, this was also one of the purposes of Emperor Chongzhen coming to Tongzhou with great fanfare. The promotion of science and technology must be based on facts, which is 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 guidance, I asked them to start construction at the same time. After the wooden ship was rebuilt, it was equipped with new equipment. For the propulsion power, it also used paddle wheels and propellers... "

The propulsion of the bright wheels as a driving force, regardless of East and West, has been in history for a long time. Therefore, the Ming ship craftsmen are naturally familiar with the manufacturing of the bright wheels and are quickly built. The propeller was proposed by Emperor Chongzhen based on later generations. Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was not a professional shipbuilder in later generations, but only saw some propellers in movies and TV, such as the beginning of Wolf Warrior 2. Therefore, after he roughly described it, the Ming craftsmen made the experiment.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was listening carefully to the eunuch's report: "...The first design of the paddle wheel was completed, and now it is ready for the test. Your Majesty clearly stated that propellers are more advanced than paddle wheels. Therefore, I dare not neglect them. I focused on the construction of propellers and had also built different types of propellers, which were installed on three-wheeled wooden boats. Now a total of four thermal wooden boats have been prepared, so I quickly reported them to Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and tried various plans in parallel. This was what he meant. At this time, he looked at the four new wooden boats parked in front of him, then looked at the countless heads outside the cordon of the opposite shore in the distance, and nodded and said, "Transfer the order, start the experiment!"
Chapter completed!
