Borrow the day to change the day

Early the next morning, Emperor Chongzhen, accompanied by the Minister of the Ministry of War, came to the Beijing camp.

Naturally, the three major battalions of the Beijing Camp have already lined up, because they were notified in advance, and all the soldiers showed their most energetic side, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Chongzhen.

The rewards for the new army and some of the dead camp soldiers who participated in the war have been distributed, and the morale of these two parts of the soldiers is even higher.

Speaking of which, using Daming Jiusibao banknotes instead of physical silver taels to issue, the efficiency is really much faster.Moreover, the reputation of Daming Jiusibao banknotes is now at least in the capital, and no soldier will feel dissatisfied because of this.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Jingying's spiritual outlook was completely new compared with last year's, and he couldn't help but feel a lot better.

After the etiquette of seeing the driver, according to the general procedure, it will be the servant or important minister who will read the emperor's will.

But Emperor Chongzhen was different. Under the influence of Zhong Jinwei, he also liked speaking by himself.

"Your Beijing camp is my own army and my reliance. Therefore, I attach great importance to whether the Beijing camp can satisfy me!"

For the soldiers standing on the school field, some of them had already heard the speech of Emperor Chongzhen before.

But no matter who it is, it is a great honor to hear the emperor speak with his own ears.Therefore, everyone listened attentively to Emperor Chongzhen's speech.

"I am very pleased, because some soldiers in the Beijing camp have proved to me that they are worthy of my trust and can be worthy of the responsibility of my own army."

Everyone knew what Emperor Chongzhen was referring to.Those soldiers who were lucky enough to participate in the Thunderbolt operation heard Emperor Chongzhen's praise, straightened their chests, raised their heads high, and they were proud.

"Therefore, I am awarding medals to these trustworthy soldiers for their bravery in this Operation Thunderbolt."

Regarding the medal, there had been a notice before Emperor Chongzhen came.But those soldiers who participated in the thunderbolt operation were still very excited when they heard that Emperor Chongzhen mentioned the medal.Because this is an honor that has never been done before, and it will be bestowed on them for the first time.

"In future battles, I will still award this medal of honor to the soldiers who fought bravely. I hope that every soldier in your Beijing camp will have a medal in the future, the highest honor medal! You can do it Is it?"

"Yes!" The roar of unison first sounded from the ranks of the new army, which seemed to be well-trained.

Then the other soldiers also shouted together: "Yes, yes..."

After a while, an etiquette official signaled to keep quiet, and then Emperor Chongzhen said: "I look forward to your chests being covered with medals, you are worthy of me, and I will never treat you badly!"

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, the ceremonial officer immediately sang according to the previous instructions: "Commander of the Beijing Camp, Zhongxing Hou Zhong Jinwei stepped forward to receive the honor!"

Wearing a new-style military uniform, Zhong Jinwei walked steadily in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and raised his right hand as a new-style military salute.

For Emperor Chongzhen, this etiquette was a bit awkward and novel.He had heard Zhong Jinwei talk about the benefits before, and he wanted to keep promoting it in the Ming army.Therefore, he slowly accepted this new military salute.

All the soldiers under the stage watched this scene quietly, this unprecedented scene, this extremely glorious scene.

"Marquis Zhongxing led the attack on the puppet capital of Jianlu, killed Heshuobeile Aixinjueluo Daishan, Baylor Aixinjueluo Haoge, and Baylor Aixinjueluo Shuotuo, and captured the puppet queen Borzigit's Zhezhe, The pseudo-concubine Bumbutai of Borjijite...has made outstanding achievements, and she is specially awarded a Purple Gold Medal of the Ming Dynasty."

A servant kneels beside Emperor Chongzhen with a carved wooden tray, holding it with both hands so that Emperor Chongzhen can easily take the medal on it.

The focus of the whole school was on Emperor Chongzhen. He reached out to pick up a shiny purple gold medal, approached Zhong Jinwei, and after looking at each other, he pinned the purple gold medal to Zhong Jinwei's left chest.

Zhong Jinwei straightened his chest, and stretched out his hand to salute a new style of military salute.Then he turned to the front of the stage so that everyone could see the medal on his chest.

The process of these ceremonies was actually directed by Zhong Jinwei following the methods of later generations.But no matter what, as soon as the medal was put on his chest and attracted all the attention, he still felt a sense of pride in his heart.This is what he worked hard for, and he deserves it.

Next, Yang He, Minister of the Ministry of War, appeared on the stage and awarded medals to the gold medal winners.

Among those who won the gold medal at the scene were the death battalion guerrilla Cao Bianjiao, the commander-in-chief of the New Army at night, Hu Hao, the commander-in-chief and instructor of the New Army Artillery Corps, Gon Desa, and the captain of Jinyiwei, Chen Yukang.

This Chen Yukang was one of the five Jinyiwei political commissars, and he performed the most outstandingly. He was responsible for the most meritorious service in the new army, so he was awarded the gold medal.

The honors given to them by the Minister of the Ministry of War to these soldiers are not less exciting than Zhong Jinwei's award by Emperor Chongzhen.Because Zhong Jinwei and Emperor Chongzhen are already very familiar with each other, and there is no sense of awe of the level gap.

And these four gold medal winners are just soldiers, and the highest position is just a guerrilla, which is too different from the rank of Minister of War.This is equivalent to being a military officer such as a battalion commander in later generations, who is personally awarded by the Minister of Defense.

The rest of the new army and soldiers of the death camp who participated in this battle all won silver medals.Because there were too many people, they did not come to the stage to award honors.

The soldiers who got the silver medal envied those who got the gold medal, who could be awarded by the Minister of War in front of the entire Beijing camp; while those in the Beijing camp who did not participate in this battle were still envious of those who won the gold medal. Participated in the war, there are people who can get the silver medal.

When someone was angry about it after the incident, the soldier with the silver medal just said lightly: "There are not ten Jianlu who died under my gun, but eight, too few!"

As soon as these words were uttered, those who fought with cold weapons had no choice but to retreat.It is very powerful if you can kill two with a knife, let alone ten or eight.

The Denglaiming Army also received the reward for this battle a few days later.Therefore, those who were promoted were promoted, and those who took Jiusibao banknotes took Jiusibao banknotes.

In addition, all soldiers who participated in the Liaodong War received a silver medal, and those who participated in the sniping of Mangurtai received a bronze medal.This also includes some North Korean soldiers who cooperated well with the Ming army, and they also have a share.

As for Lu Xiangsheng, not only was he reinstated, he was also awarded a Purple Gold Medal.Originally, the imperial court planned to give him a gold medal, but after Zhong Jinwei fought for it, he finally forged an extra purple gold medal.

Zhong Jinwei didn't think he was being selfish, because in this war, if it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng's reputation on Jianlu's side, and Lu Xiangsheng's ability to attract Jianlu in the open, he would not have been able to ambush Jianlu, and it would be impossible for him to have this war. The perfect ending to the action.

After the award ceremony, Zhong Jinwei announced that the military parade rehearsal will be held in the next few days.And in this military parade rehearsal, the soldiers who performed well will be the first to be selected for the new army.

In this way, the motivation of the Beijing camp soldiers came.All the soldiers worked hard to rehearse overtime day and night, and did not ask for any overtime pay.
