When Ma Xianglin heard this, he immediately replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty's wisdom, martial arts, civil and military skills are as good as those of Taizu, and even surpassed them."
Upon hearing that his son gave such a high comment, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked him: "Oh, in my son's opinion, he is even more powerful than my ancestor Taizu and Chengzu, how can I see it?"
After hearing this, Ma Xianglin showed admiration and explained with fascination: "It took three dynasties to build the captives in Liaodong.
The Ming Dynasty could not quell the rebellion.
Instead, they founded the country and became emperor.
I originally thought that the captives were difficult to control.
However, the emperor After he ascended the throne, he personally trained the new army and promoted talents, and then continued to suppress the Jianlu and finally defeated the Jianlu until the country was destroyed.
As a result, our Ming Dynasty was able to regain Liaodong and even add another North Korea."
Because of his wife Zhang Fengyi's relationship in the chat group, Ma Xianglin and the others basically kept abreast of what happened in Daming.
Therefore, he was well aware of Emperor Chongzhen's achievements.
Qin Liangyu nodded slightly when he heard it, with a smile on his face, and continued to listen without interrupting him.
"Also, even if Taizu became the ancestor, he never included Mongolia in the territory and 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 far north to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty to the horizon.
"Ma Xianglin prefers to lead troops to fight, so he first talked about these things related to fighting, and then he continued.
His eyebrows were dancing with joy, as if he had personally participated in each of these wars, and was proud of it, "There are also Wazi in the west.
In the past, we had wiped out all the elites left by Chengzu, but here, the emperor heard the news They fled, surrendered and paid tribute, and others, such as the Xiyi in the south, the She'an rebellion in the west, etc., were all put down by the emperor."
After saying this in one breath, Ma Xianglin finally took a rest.
However, he immediately looked at his mother and continued: "As for the difficulties of the vassal king, they were all left by Taizu Chengzu.
I originally thought that there was no solution to the matter.
This has been the case in all dynasties.
But the current emperor has great foresight and actually He thought of banishing the vassal king to a place other than the dynasty, and It doesn't require any money from the court, and it can appease the refugees and disaster victims around the Ming Dynasty, and also spreads the prestige of the Ming Dynasty further.
Looking at the words and deeds of the Tang Dynasty King, I am also happy.
This move can be said to be a win-win situation for both the court and the vassal king.
No, it is also a win-win situation.
The people of the Ming Dynasty also benefited from it, it is a three-win situation."
Qin Liangyu looked at his son talking endlessly, feeling extremely happy in his heart.
With a smile on his face, he listened quietly to his son's words.
"But what surprises the emperor even more is that what the emperor has done in the past few years is simply unprecedented.
Not only has it never happened during the Taizu and Chengzu periods, but it has never happened in any previous dynasty."
When Ma Xianglin said this, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
He started counting on his fingers, "The emperor invented cement, opened the Daming Road and Bridge Company, and used Paper money, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Construction Bank, and the invention of the steam engine were another miraculous invention of the emperor.
I heard that the emperor once said that this has extraordinary effects and can be used to greatly improve our country, such as cars and ships.
I think.
When I think about it, I feel that this emperor’s ability is really incredible.
Oh, and what kind of technology and powerful knowledge are there?”
He was talking eloquently and couldn't help but beaming with joy, which made Zhang Fengyi, who was not far away, puzzled.
Of course she understands her husband, he is not usually such a person, and he doesn't know what he is talking about, but he is so excited.
Thinking like this, she was extremely curious, but it was a pity that she didn't dare to listen to her mother-in-law's orders.
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, you are right.
This emperor of our Ming Dynasty is truly the emperor of the ages."
It is foreseen that the Ming Dynasty will be extremely powerful under the current emperor's governance, and I am convinced of this."
Seeing that his mother agreed, Ma Xianglin was also very happy.
However, Qin Liangyu immediately changed the topic and said: "So, my son, do you think the emperor will allow the existence of the chieftain?
Think about it, even the vassal king wants to feudal overseas, the chieftain can ignore it, so it is not a rumor to change his land and return to his hometown. , it will be inevitable in the future.”

As soon as he heard that she brought up the topic of returning to rural life, Ma Xianglin felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and his high mood suddenly dropped.
Qin Liangyu ignored him and continued: "Returning to native land will indeed harm the interests of the chieftains, but so what.
The general trend is general.
Those who cannot recognize the situation will end up with nothing but a mantis blocking the car, even if all the chieftains in the world rebel together. , no one belongs to them, they are just a bunch of rabble.
The most the imperial court can do is try harder, but it will definitely be able to suppress it in the end.
Even if we confront the Jianlu, the new army of the imperial court can.
Do you think we, the white army, can defeat the new army?
How much strength can the white-pole army have to defeat the endless new army?"
Ma Xianglin has always been proud of his mother for being able to bring out such an elite soldier.
But when I heard what my mother said, I couldn't help but feel deflated like a rubber ball.
He could give answers to his mother's questions without hesitation.
Qin Liangyu naturally saw his son's emotional changes and knew that his son had listened to what he said, so he continued: "Furthermore, the chieftain system did not exist before the Yuan Dynasty.
It will disappear in the future, too.
Normal things.
Nothing can remain unchanged forever.
We, Shizhu, should not block and be smashed into pieces in this rolling historical tide, but should adapt to the current situation, so that we can last forever."
When she said this, she suddenly stopped smiling, her face became serious, and she said seriously to Ma Xianglin: "My mother has always taught you that in the affairs of the world, there are things you should do and things you should not do.
A true man should learn from Yue Fei and Wen Tianxiang and serve the country with loyalty. , which will last for centuries.
Therefore, even in the troubled autumn of the Ming Dynasty, the court was in trouble.
In times of trouble, your two uncles did not hesitate to go to war and died fighting for the Ming Dynasty in Hunhe, Liaodong.
Although there were traitors in the Hunhe Dynasty in Liaodong, your father died of illness in prison, but your father told your mother not to harbor resentment. , A country is a country, and treacherous ministers are treacherous ministers, and they should be distinguished.
Your grandfather also has many teachings.
Having said this, she raised her head and glanced at Zhang Fengyi who was not far away, then turned back to look at her son and continued: "The Zhang family, as well, are all loyal and good people.
They have regarded themselves as loyal ministers and good generals of the Ming Dynasty, and have protected their family and country for hundreds of lives."
No regrets” Ma Xianglin listened and stared blankly back at his mother, 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 current emperor has always trusted us.
He knows that we are also chieftains, but he has not doubted it at all, just because we have always done loyal things.
Moreover, the emperor treats us too It’s not bad.
The emperor can confer a title to a woman as his mother without hesitation.
Do you believe that such a thing has ever happened in the previous dynasty?
In the future, as long as our family is dedicated to national affairs, there will definitely be more than one earl. .
This time, the Tang Dynasty’s contribution will definitely be rewarded.”
It was unheard of before for a woman to be given a title as a loyal uncle.
When the emperor ordered it, Ma Xianglin was shocked and refused to do so.
At that time, he was very proud.
Whose mother could be named an earl by the court, and she was also a very praised and loyal uncle.
Qin Liangyu may have been talking for a long time.
Looking at his son's expression, he felt that he had almost said it, so he finally said solemnly: "Whether it's chieftain or title, it's just a gift given to us by the court.
It's just a different name.
What we have to do.
Yes, it is enough to keep your original intention and have a loyal heart.”
"Mom, I have figured it out.
No matter from what aspect, I will obey my mother's teachings."
Ma Xianglin was brought up by Qin Liangyu.
After such teachings, he suddenly became enlightened and no longer struggled with changing.

The matter of Tuguiliu.
Once the mental illness is gone, the whole person appears to be in high spirits.
The once lively one-eyed Ma Chao is back again.
Seeing this, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but smile happily, and said to Ma Xianglin: "Let my son's reputation shock the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.
Just like the emperor, he is better than his master.
I believe that my son's achievements will be better than those of others." , will be better than General Fubo in the future.”
Ma Xianglin's ancestor was Ma Yuan, General Fubo of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once established a wide range of general titles.
The highest rankings were generals, generals of hussars, generals of cavalry, and generals of guard, followed by front, rear, left, and right generals, as well as many titled generals, such as General Fubo.
He is one of these many titled generals.
What Qin Liangyu means is that he is optimistic about Ma Xianglin and will definitely be appointed as a general in the future.
Ma Xianglin grinned after hearing this.
He was naturally very happy to be praised by his most respected mother.
When Qin Liangyu saw it, he showed a loving smile on his face and said: "Don't be silly and call your wife over.
I want to hear more about my new things in the Ming Dynasty, especially the new invention."
When Ma Xianglin heard this, he immediately became interested, agreed, waved to his wife quickly, called her over and asked about the gossip.
Speaking of which, it’s really nice to have this daughter-in-law.
Not only is she as capable as her mother in literature and martial arts, but more importantly, she also has this miraculous ability to reach heaven and hear all kinds of news thousands of miles away.
This is simply a kind of enjoyment 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 and in good spirits.
She was also very happy for this.
When she heard that her mother-in-law and her husband wanted to hear gossip, she drove her horse and kept quiet with her husband.
The colleague, while talking about the news he heard in the chat group, talked endlessly: "The Emperor's response to the cruel and shameless Fo Langji The people were very angry.
While they ordered to vigorously expand the navy, they also personally went to Tongzhou to inspect the shipyard there to check the situation of the warships equipped with new machines.
Some people said that our current warships in the Ming Dynasty are not as good as those in the West.
The shortcomings of the barbarians are not obvious around the Ming Dynasty, but if they fight in the ocean, there will be problems, and the emperor wants to solve this problem."
After Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin and others heard this, they couldn't help but be very curious about the new warship, and their thoughts drifted to the north involuntarily.
They really wanted to see with their own eyes what this upgraded warship looked like.
As Zhang Fengyi said, Emperor Chongzhen had legitimately left the capital and headed for Tongzhou.
Regarding the matter of thermal power on warships, he was the intellectual authority and could not let others do it for him.
Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen had been to the south of the Yangtze River before and had personally conquered the country.
He had left the capital more than once.
Whether it was the civil and military officials in the court or the common people in the capital, he was not surprised.
Besides, this time we were going to Tongzhou, which was very close to the capital, and not many people had any objections to this.
Tongzhou Shipyard is located in Zhangjiawan.
When the emperor came in person, the area was under martial law and no one could get close to it.
Even on the other side, there were countless officers and soldiers standing guard along the river bank to prevent others from getting into the water.
However, countless people who came after hearing the news were waiting outside the cordon.
They wanted to see with their own eyes what the new gadget would look like after it was moved to the ship.
How this new type of thermal-powered warship would sail on the water In short, they are very curious about this new warship.
So after the emperor left the capital, many people from the capital followed him.
Of course, this was also one of the purposes of Emperor Chongzhen's grand visit to Tongzhou.
The promotion of science and technology must be based on facts to be 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 instructions, the slaves asked them to start working on several different plans at the same time.
After the wooden ship was rebuilt, new equipment was installed, and the propulsion power was also improved.

Two types of "paddle wheels and propellers" are used Paddle wheels have been used as power for propulsion, both in the East and the West, for a long time in history.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty shipwrights were naturally familiar with the manufacture of paddle wheels and could build them quickly.
The propeller was proposed by Emperor Chongzhen based on later generations.
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was not a professional ship builder in later generations, and had only seen some propellers in movies and TV shows, such as the one at the beginning of Wolf Warrior 2.
Therefore, after he roughly described it, Ming craftsmen built it for testing.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was listening carefully to the report of the eunuch in charge: "The paddle wheel was the first to be designed and is now ready for testing.
His Majesty made it clear that the propeller is more advanced than the paddle wheel, so I don't dare to neglect it.
The focus is on supervising the manufacture of propellers, and different types of propellers have been built and installed on the three wooden boats.
Now a total of four thermodynamic wooden boats have been prepared, so I will report to your majesty immediately. " Emperor Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and tried various plans in parallel.
This was 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: "Pass the message, let's start testing":
