Chapter 3473 Everyone is rewarded for meritorious deeds
After the celebration party that night, everyone went home to rest.
Early the next morning, Chu Xuanchen was in the main hall and began to reward all the ministers.
He wants to reward the ministers who have contributed to the country based on their merits, reward the three armies, and provide pensions to the soldiers who died on the battlefield.
To win this battle, all the generals and soldiers involved are the most important, so Chu Xuanchen wants to reward them first.
Because Dong Changfeng showed bravery and poise in this battle, Chu Xuanchen made him a general and asked him to command the entire army and protect the country from enemies.
At the same time, he also named Dong Changfeng the Duke of Yongchang, which was equivalent to promoting the entire Dong family.
As for Mo Li, he had shown great tenacity and superior strength both in previous battles and in these two recent battles. Chu Xuanchen promoted him to a second-grade hussar general, second only to the general.
.
As for Su Qishao, he was promoted to the second rank of Chariot and Cavalry General.
Military generals such as Mo Zhu, Liu Ruyan, Meng Zheng, Meng Zian, Chen Ping, and Lin Yue were also promoted to higher ranks, and their fields were also entrusted and rewarded with gold, silver, and jewelry.
Feng Qingyang was a strategist. He had always made suggestions in previous wars and came up with many ingenious strategies, so Chu Xuanchen promoted him to a first-class strategist general.
His affairs are specifically responsible for the military command of the entire army and the overall situation of the war.
After taking this position, Feng Qingyang's status suddenly rose a lot, and he became the first military advisor of Chu State.
Other court officials were promoted one after another.
For example, Jiang Ning was transferred to the capital by Chu Xuanchen and promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Because of Jiang Ning's outstanding contribution in this war, and the fact that he questioned Emperor Hongyuan for the sake of the late emperor, and was retaliated by Emperor Hongyuan, losing two of his beloved sons, so in order to compensate him, Chu Xuanchen specially named him the Marquis of Zhongqin.
.
Jiang Muyu was also promoted to the fourth rank of Zhongshu Minister.
As for Zhang Fu Yin Zhang Qing, after he returned to Beijing, Chu Xuanchen still made him qualified for the position of Jing Zhao Yin.
Yuan Zhen was still the censor of the Supervisory Yuan, responsible for impeaching hundreds of officials and defending grievances, but his official rank was raised to the second rank.
After promoting these people, Chu Xuanchen had to consider the candidate for prime minister.
He thought about it carefully. The candidate for the prime minister must first be impartial, senior, and able to convince the public. At present, Grand Master Li Jin is the best candidate.
So he appointed Li Jin as prime minister.
Li Jin is now very old and is unlikely to last many years, so during this period, Chu Xuanchen will continue to observe and try to find Li Jin's successor as soon as possible.
At this time, Geng Tian, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, had been executed early, so Chu Xuanchen decided to hand over the management of the Ministry of Punishments to Tian Zhang, and promoted Tian Zhang to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments.
As for Su Ming, although he turned the ship around in time and elected Chu Xuanchen as the emperor, Chu Xuanchen knew that this man had evil intentions and wild ambitions and could not be reused.
Although he could not be reused, he still wanted to give Su Ming an official position to temporarily appease him.
After Chu Xuanchen thought for a while, he let Su Ming be qualified for the position of Taifu.
The title of Grand Tutor was a first-grade one, and for Su Ming, he had an additional important position and an additional honor.
But he also knew that although the Taifu sounded famous, it was just a false position with an empty reputation and no real power.
As for other soldiers and officials who had made meritorious service to the country, Chu Xuanchen gave them official positions one by one.
Not only that, everyone was also rewarded with land, gold, silver, jewelry, silk, silk and other items.
After promoting outstanding officers to official positions, Chu Xuanchen also increased rewards for other officers and rewarded the three armies, so that every officer who participated in the war could return with a full load and satisfaction.
Finally, Chu Xuanchen wanted to pay pensions to the soldiers who died on the battlefield.
For every soldier who died, he paid five times the pension, and also ordered people to arrange jobs for the families of the soldiers who died.
Other money can be saved, but the pension for the fallen soldiers must not be saved, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.
This will also let the soldiers know that the country has always remembered their efforts, is grateful for their sacrifices, and will never let their sacrifices be in vain.
Those who have made merit will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will also be punished.
Only by giving rewards and punishments, and giving both kindness and power, can you convince everyone.
Nowadays, a large number of officials who had followed Emperor Hongyuan in corruption and bribery have been purged from the imperial court, so the talent pool has become very withered.
Chu Xuanchen thought that he should quickly open the Enke, use the imperial examination to select talents, and quickly inject fresh blood into the court to make up for the current shortage of talents.
After Chu Xuanchen promoted everyone to a higher rank, everyone was very happy. This was considered a reward for their hard work.
Then, the courtiers received the newly made official uniforms and tokens one after another, and they were waiting for the day of the enthronement ceremony to wear their new official uniforms and attend the enthronement ceremony.
In addition to giving rewards to officials, Chu Xuanchen also granted marriages to Feng Qingyang and Shen Yulian, Mo Li and Feng'er, Mo Zhu and Jiu'er, and Liu Ruyan and Xiaodie.
Moli and the others have been with him for so many years, they are both his subordinates and his friends. After he settled down in the world, of course he wanted to get married to them as soon as possible.
The men have all been promoted, and Chu Xuanchen will naturally not forget these women who worked hard with everyone in South Vietnam.
Therefore, he named Shen Yulian, Feng'er, Jiu'er, Xiaodie and other meritorious women as first-grade wives to show their commendation.
In addition, he also rewarded them with houses and land for their marriage.
