Chapter 914

About half a day later, the Chinese army under Emperor Chongzhen arrived here.

Li Laiheng and the others all stepped forward to greet him with excitement.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The sound of the roar is deafening!
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen knew about the matter here through the Grade A wiretapping seed on Li Laiheng, and because of this, he came to the rescue very quickly, so he could arrive in time to save them.

To be honest, he was very pleased with Li Laiheng's final choice.

Fighting with the wind is something everyone knows, even those who have just returned, even those who have just been recruited from farmers, they will fight with the wind.

To test the quality of an army, it can only be seen when it is fighting against the wind.

Li Laiheng's troops have been tested and have not abandoned their teammates. They are brave and fearless. This is the Ming army in the new era and an example for all Ming armies to learn from!
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Laiheng who was kneeling on one knee to welcome his subordinates, with a very solemn expression, got off his horse, went to help Li Laiheng himself, and said to them: "You have worked hard, you are doing well!"

With the emperor personally helping them and commending them personally, Li Laiheng and others felt that all their hard work was worth it at this moment.After standing up, he responded loudly: "The general is just fulfilling his duties and doing his duty as a warrior!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen did not speak immediately, but walked slowly and looked at the rows of soldiers.

Although these officers and soldiers exuded a stench all over their bodies, he didn't dislike them, nor did they frown or anything like that.

People who are thin and horses lose weight are all exhausted.It is completely conceivable how difficult it was for them to deal with the enemy in these few months.

Emperor Chongzhen previously learned from the eavesdropping system that some soldiers were wavering and wanted to withdraw regardless of friendly forces. At the beginning, he had objections to these soldiers, who were not what he thought were good soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.However, now, he already understands.

This understanding does not mean that they agree that they can abandon their friendly forces and withdraw.It's just that they really said that in a desperate situation.

The most important thing is that they all chose to stay in the end. Together with their comrades, they chose to fight to the death in order to defend the dignity of warriors and soldiers of Ming Dynasty.This kind of spirit is what the Ming army needs at any time, and it must be commended!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen had an idea.

After looking at each of the more than 3000 soldiers, he turned around and walked to a high place on the side, condescending, looked at these soldiers, pointed at them, turned his head to the generals following behind, and said loudly : "Come and see, this is the battalion of soldiers I am most satisfied with. Look at them, they have been dealing with several times the enemy for several months. There is no reinforcements, no food and grass supplies, which severely hit the enemy's rear, making the Ottoman Empire The army was unable to attack Lahore with all its strength, and gave strong support to the friendly army..."

When Emperor Chongzhen was talking, his generals were naturally watching.As for the current situation of this army, they can know the situation just by looking at it.

Therefore, they had to admit that Li Laiheng's troops were indeed not easy!
But Li Laiheng's subordinates were moved and excited when they heard the emperor praised them and talked about the difficulties they encountered.Although the hero has no regrets, if the heroic deeds can be known and affirmed by others, that is of course the happiest thing!

As Emperor Chongzhen spoke, his expression suddenly became more serious. Looking at the generals around him, he said loudly: "What army is the strongest, what army can scare the enemy, and what army can often win battles..."

A series of questions were asked, which made all the generals stand in awe.They understood that what the emperor said next was the key point.

"It's belief, it's military spirit!" Emperor Chongzhen said seriously without waiting for their answer, "What is faith and what is military spirit? Dignity guarded by life! Don’t abandon, don’t give up!”

In this valley, only Emperor Chongzhen's voice resounded powerfully.Tens of thousands of soldiers were all silent.

Although Emperor Chongzhen's words could only be heard by the nearby soldiers, the emotions in his words could be transmitted to them.

The soldiers under Li Laiheng who could hear the emperor's words clearly were very excited. It's not that the emperor praised them, but that the emperor told them what they wanted to defend with their lives!

The words of Emperor Chongzhen were better for the generals of the Ming Dynasty, but they were very shocking to the ears of Racine, Pengchuk and others.

When they were in the past, they never thought that there was such a saying about the army.Looking at Li Laiheng's troops in front of them, and recalling what Emperor Chongzhen said, suddenly, they had a kind of enlightenment: So this is the Ming army!

They were thinking that Emperor Chongzhen had turned back, looked at Li Laiheng and others who were very excited, and announced loudly: "I have decided that from now on your camp will be renamed Gang Seventh Battalion! I hope that from now on, your Gang Seventh Battalion will be Pass on your military spirit from generation to generation. People can grow old, but their military spirit must be there!"

This is an independent designation from the hussar battalion. To have its own designation, at least in the history of the Ming army, will definitely leave a strong mark.There is no doubt that this is definitely the greatest honor for a soldier!

When Li Laiheng and others heard this, they immediately knelt down on one knee and received an order to thank them!
But here also leaves a very big unsolved mystery in the history of the Ming army, that is, posterity can't figure it out, why the emperor named it the Seventh Battalion of Steel?

Steel characters are easy to understand!But what about seven?What is the meaning of this seven characters?

The seventh with such a glorious number?Counting and counting, even counting all the dynasties and dynasties, I still feel that the seven characters seem wrong!

Could it be that there are seven fine traditions that make up the soul of the Seventh Battalion of Steel?After a while, it seems to be very reluctant, it doesn't feel like it!

In short, no one has a definite answer.The emperor's prestige is too high, so no one asked why it was named the Seventh Battalion of Steel instead of the First Battalion of Steel?
In this era, it is naturally impossible for anyone to know.The reason why Emperor Chongzhen named the Seventh Battalion of Steel is entirely from the Seventh Company of Steel in a very excellent TV series in later generations!

The reason for this is the performance of Li Laiheng's troops. He feels that it is the same as the military spirit of the Seventh Steel Company back then.There is another point, which can be regarded as a commemoration of the previous life for the traverser!But by doing so, it will also embarrass future experts and the like!

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen even announced: "The commander-in-chief of the Seventh Steel Battalion is bestowed the title of Earl Gangzhen. This title is hereditary from the Seventh Steel Battalion. !"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the officers and soldiers looked sideways. There is such a thing?
This has never happened before!

It is very common to have a leader with a title.For example, Penchuk is not the Duke of the State, and Racine is also the Marquis. However, this title is only their own and is not hereditary.

But this Uncle Gangzhen belongs to the Seventh Steel Battalion, as long as he can become the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Steel Battalion, he can automatically obtain this title.

From this, we can see how different the Steel Seventh Battalion is!
After being astonished, Li Laiheng hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order, and he became Uncle Gang Zhen immediately.

Looking at Li Laiheng who was kneeling in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen said to him solemnly: "Li Qing, you must remember that when Gang Qi Battalion is here, Gang Zhenbo is there. The serial number will be cancelled, and Bo Gangzhen will be gone. The glory of the Seventh Battalion of Steel depends on yourselves, understand?"

"The general understands, the general swears that he will use his life to defend the soul of the Seventh Steel Battalion!" Li Laiheng echoed loudly excitedly.

Emperor Chongzhen said everything he should have said, so he didn't say anything else. Seeing that the soldiers were exhausted after the passion of victory, he ordered the whole army to rest for three days.

During these three days, the soldiers of the other battalions will hold symposiums with the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Battalion to introduce the heroic deeds of the Seventh Steel Battalion.

This so-called symposium was actually a group of soldiers gathered in a circle to listen to the stories of the soldiers of the No. [-] Steel Battalion.

For Emperor Chongzhen, as long as he leads the army himself, it is easy to defeat the enemy.Therefore, he is not in a hurry to pursue the enemy.

And the army has been rushing over to rescue, and it also needs to rest.At the same time, waiting for the flock of sheep and supplies in the back road, so as not to fall too far behind the army.For the Steel Seventh Battalion, they need to take a rest.

During this rest period, use the deeds of the Seventh Battalion of Steel to influence the other troops of the Ming Dynasty and let them understand what kind of army is the real army of the Ming Dynasty, the army that Emperor Chongzhen values!
The rewards for other soldiers of the Seventh Steel Battalion will not be available until the end of the battle.One thing is certain, the treatment of the Seventh Steel Battalion will definitely be better than that of other troops, and it will also have a more sense of honor.

Emperor Chongzhen hoped that there would not be only one Steel Seventh Battalion in the Ming army, and there would not be only one Gang Zhen Bo.He hoped that the future performances of the various armies of the Ming Dynasty would allow him to seal up more Steel Seventh Battalions and more Gang Zhen Bos!
Three days later, Emperor Chongzhen could feel that the mental outlook of the entire army was very different from when they first set off from Mingwei Fort.

This difference does not refer to morale.After all, the morale of the army under the personal command of Emperor Chongzhen has never been a problem.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew what it was, and was very relieved in his heart.After this battle is over, he plans to compile the deeds of the Seventh Steel Battalion into storytelling, drama and so on, and spread them widely.It would be the best if someone could write poems and lyrics for this, which can be passed down through the ages.It's just a pity that Emperor Chongzhen himself didn't have this ability, so he didn't make a fool of himself.

Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen swung his sword to the south, and the army set off again in a mighty manner, pointing directly at Lahore.
