Emperor Chongzhen did not ask them to wait for a long time, and then announced loudly: "The Jiazhuang defense battle 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 saved Jiazhuang. The first time it hit Jianlu heavily and broke the myth of Jianlu's invincible battle. Therefore, I decided to award all the meritorious soldiers who participated in the Jiazhuang defense battle, and those who have no major faults will be commemorated with medals!"

Although there were some persistences in the past that Jianlu had not been able to break through, such as the Ningjin line. However, it was a strong and tall city, with red barbarian cannons and other powerful weapons to defend the city, heavy troops, etc., and Jianlu could not defeat it, so it was actually nothing strange.

However, the Battle of Jiazhuang was just a Zhuangzi, and it was not comparable to those of Ning Jin and other strong cities. Jianlu had been able to persevere in siege several times. It has to be said that Jianlu's arrogant arrogance was hit hard this time. Therefore, no matter who it was, there was no objection to the emperor's statement.

After hearing the emperor's words, those who survived were basically all incorporated into the three major camps, and these people were excited. They were the first to receive this medal. When they thought about the battle, they were indeed extremely difficult. Even the title of Minister of War and Governor Lu, who was the Minister of War at that time, was injured many times, which was really thrilling. Looking back now, I am proud of that battle.

They were thinking about it, and then they heard Emperor Chongzhen name it: "Where is Yang Guozhu?"

"The last one is here!" Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu both came out, came to Emperor Chongzhen, and replied loudly.

During the Battle of Jiajiazhuang, the two of them were Lu Xiangsheng's right-hand man. At that time, the great power of the tiger almost died in his country.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them and said solemnly: "The Battle of Jiajiazhuang, you are not afraid of powerful enemies and fight bloody battles. I am deeply pleased that you will be given a bronze medal for the defense of Jiajiazhuang to inspire you!"

After saying that, he took out the medal from the small box that Chen Baoting brought over and hung it on his chest by Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu.

During this process, whether it was Hu Dawei or Yang Guozhu, the two of them straightened their chests, and even their faces turned red and they didn't move. Even their breathing seemed to stop, for fear that the emperor would hang the medal for them.

In fact, it is now the harsh winter, and they wear too much on their bodies. No matter what, it will not affect Emperor Chongzhen's medals for them.

"I will thank you for your kindness!" After hanging up, Emperor Chongzhen took a step back and looked at them, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu clasped their fists at the same time.

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said to the two of them: "The rest of the soldiers who participated in the defense of Jiajiazhuang will be checked and distributed by Qing and the other two together with the Ministry of War. It is necessary to all be distributed before the day after tomorrow, and there must be no mistakes!"

"I will obey the order!" Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu immediately replied loudly when they heard this.

After hearing their conversation, the soldiers below probably understood how the medal would be issued. Thinking about it, it was a great honor for the emperor to issue it personally. There were so many ordinary soldiers, how could the emperor come here to issue it?

They were thinking, but they heard Emperor Chongzhen announce on the spot platform again: "The Battle of Tianjin hit Jianlu hard for the first time, breaking the myth of Jianlu's invincibility in the field, destroying more than 30,000 enemies, and rescuing more than 200,000 people in the Ming Dynasty. This battle will be remembered by history forever!"

After hearing what the emperor said, everyone knew that the emperor was going to issue a commemorative medal to the soldiers participating in the Battle of Tianjin. Suddenly, most of the people in the three camps could not help but show excitement.

But at the same time, they were a little curious. Who was qualified to be distributed by the emperor himself? Or were they a few generals?

They were thinking about it, and then Emperor Chongzhen called out on the stage: "Where is Han Leyu?"

When many people heard this, they were shocked. They were not the generals?

Han Leyu, who was standing below, had already accumulated merit and became a guerrilla. He did not expect that the emperor would call him his name. So much so that at the beginning, 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 and immediately stepped out of the line, came to Emperor Chongzhen, and replied excitedly: "The last one is here!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and said with a smile: "You fought to the death in the Battle of Tianjin. It was also a blessing for you to burn the bridges at the critical moment when Jianlu was about to attack the shore. He thought of a way to burn the bridges, which made great contributions to the final victory of the Ming Dynasty. I am deeply pleased that I will give you the bronze medal of the Battle of Tianjin to inspire you!"

The person who heard this finally understood that the emperor personally gave Han Leyu a medal to the meritorious soldiers in the Battle of Tianjin because he played a role at critical moments.

"I will thank you for your kindness!" Han Leyu seemed to feel the medal hanging on his chest as if it was hot, and immediately expressed his gratitude to Emperor Chongzhen excitedly.

Emperor Chongzhen responded with a smile, then turned around and looked at the audience and announced: "Other soldiers participating in the Battle of Tianjin will be jointly distributed to everyone by the Ministry of War and several generals!"

Next, he wiped out the Tumote tribes in the Battle of Tumote, the Nanyang battle annihilated the bandits that harmed the country, the Dongjiang army gained a foothold in Liaodong in the Battle of Lushun, bravely defeated Jianlu in the Battle of Pyongyang, the Tashan battle wiped out Dorgon's troops, the Guihuacheng battle wiped out Jirgalang's troops, the Jinzhou battle captured the slave chief Daishan, the Grassland battle wiped out the Mongolian tribes in the eastern part, and the recent Yaozhou Post-related wars were all announced to be given commemorative medals.

With the previous examples, these big wars are also great victories, so it is not surprising that they can get commemorative medals. However, one thing that surprised many people was that the officers and soldiers of the Denglai Navy Division also received medals from the Battle of Lushun, the Battle of Pyongyang, the Battle of Jinzhou and the Battle of Jinzhou.

You should know that in the past, the navy had no status at all. No matter how strong the highest general was, it was just a coastal defense guerrilla. Until these few years, Emperor Chongzhen appointed him as the general of the navy for the first time, which was Zheng Zhilong.

At this time, although Zheng Zhilong was dismissed from the navy's general position, he also participated in this award. In these several medals of the Denglai Navy's Navy participating in the war, he became the one who personally hanged the medals for him by the emperor.

Some more sensitive people immediately smelled a lot of information from it. For example, the emperor's trust in Zheng Zhilong remains unreduced, and he may be restored one day. Also, the emperor seems to attach importance to the navy than any previous emperor.

However, what the emperor said is not without reason. At least in these Liaodong wars, if there were no Denglai Navy, many wars would not be able to be fought at all. Thinking of this, they felt relieved.

In this way, the Ming soldiers of the Denglai Navy Division received four medals in one go, which is one of the soldiers who have won the most medals.

This time, there were quite a few medals issued. Although they were all bronze medals, the number was very large. If it were the past, the court would not have the strength to issue so much. But now, the treasury has the money, so it has the confidence to issue so much.

After the medals of these battles were issued, Emperor Chongzhen said loudly on the stage: "You may not know that the Ming Dynasty can win a series of battles against Jianlu. In addition to everyone fighting bloody battles on the front battlefield, there are also people who risk their lives and die, regardless of personal honor and disgrace, laying the foundation for surveillance for the Ming Dynasty's victory against Jianlu."

When most people heard this, they were shocked. There were such people? What do they do? Why didn’t they know that such a thing was happening?

They were wondering when they heard Emperor Chongzhen shouting: "Where is Chen Shaoan?"

Chen Shaoan was summoned from Liaodong and knew that he would receive a medal. At this time, he was excited when he heard the emperor's name. He immediately stepped out of the line and came to the emperor and responded loudly: "The last one is here!"

When the others saw it was him, they suddenly realized it. You must know that in order to save his mother, the emperor released the slave chief Daishan and three thousand Jianlu soldiers back. His mother's deeds naturally followed such a move, especially the incidents between Geng Zhongming and his son, which made people feel the loyalty of Chen Shaoan and his son to the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen said loudly to Chen Shaoan: "You overcome all difficulties and are determined to return to the Ming Dynasty. You will also severely attack the Jianlu for the Ming Dynasty, capture the slave chief Daishan, destroy the Jianlu's logistics, rescue more than 20,000 Ming people, and convince Kong Youde to return to the Ming Dynasty to make great contributions. I am very pleased and specially awarded the Silver Ming Hero Medal to inspire you!"

When he heard this, everyone was surprised. It was not because of the surprise of Chen Shaoan's contribution, but because he received the Silver Ming Hero Medal that others did not have! This is a unique one!

Chen Shaoan himself thought it was just a commemorative medal, but he didn't expect it was a silver medal, and it was also a medal with the title of "Hero of the Ming Dynasty". He was stunned for a moment and was stunned until Emperor Chongzhen hung it for him. Although he was wearing armor, he still knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said loudly: "I will thank God for your kindness!"

After he went down, everyone couldn't help but become a little curious. The emperor once said that medals are divided into three types: gold, silver and copper. Now there are silver medals. So will there be gold medals this time? What kind of contribution can be obtained?

While they were thinking, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly said loudly on the stage: "There is another person who has made a contribution from the Ming Dynasty when the Ming Dynasty began to obtain a series of wars in the early 12th year of Chongzhen. However, at that time, his contribution was special and could not be made public. However, it is OK now. I once said that as long as he is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, he will never let him shed blood and cry. I will remember his contribution to the Ming Dynasty in my heart and will definitely give him the glory he deserves!"

After hearing what the emperor said, everyone immediately became curious again. Who would this person be? With the example of Chen Shaoan just now, plus the emperor's explanation, many people speculated that this person was definitely not a member of the army. Maybe it was a person like Chen Shaoan.
