Chapter 1030: The eight major locust merchants return to the dynasty and enfeoff them
The army returned and everyone returned to their camps to rest and recuperate.
The big-headed soldiers who received the rewards and had families and children left the money at home.
Those who don’t have a wife or children basically just take the money and go out to spend it.
Seeing this, Su Mingzhe thought of the old and weak women and children from the prairie tribe he had brought back, so he called Ding Yi and asked him to arrange a 'blind date meeting' for these singles.
As long as a soldier with military merit takes a fancy to a captured woman, he can directly pick one out based on his military merit.
First come first served.
As soon as the news came out, tens of thousands of newlyweds appeared in Yuguan.
After being a Yue Lao for a time, Su Mingzhe stopped going out and did not leave the dragon tent for two consecutive days.
Xu Jinjue was initially worried about Su Mingzhe's health.
He waited until Su Mingzhe was so angry that he asked him to send the women of Daishan, Huang Taiji, Mang Gurtai and others into the big tent, then he put down his worries.
On the third day.
Su Mingzhe was originally planning to continue his absurdity, but Xu Jinjue reported:
"Your Majesty, General Ding Baiying is here!"
"Let her wait a moment!"
Su Mingzhe quickly stopped his absurd life and left two gentle and lovely ladies in the tent to help him get dressed while the other twenty or thirty women were sent to rest in the big tent next to them.
Among these noble girls, twelve were presented by Mangus.
The remaining dozen or so are the wives and daughters of Jurchen nobles such as Daishan and Huang Taiji.
Because of his good looks, Su Mingzhe kept him here.
Most of these women don't understand Han Chinese etiquette, and relying on their beautiful appearance and men's liking for them, they often get carried away these days.
After a while.
Su Mingzhe put on his regular clothes, Shenqing Yundan greeted Ding Baiying, and then smiled and invited her to sit down.
It has been several days since I returned to Yuguan.
The rewards for low-level officers and soldiers have been distributed.
The rewards for mid-level and high-level generals still need to be discussed with the court at a later date.
Before returning to Yuguan, Su Mingzhe found Ding Yi and told him that he wanted to accept Ding Baiying as his concubine.
As a military general, Ding Yi naturally could not refuse the emperor's request, so he could only agree on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Ding Baiying ran over today full of energy.
Doesn't she agree?
Su Mingzhe was just thinking about Ding Baiying's purpose when he saw her clasping her fists with her hands and performing a military salute on one knee:
"Your Majesty, the general only wants to guard the border, please take back your orders!"
"There's no rush."
Naturally, Su Mingzhe would not take back his life, but he did not want to push too hard, so he directly changed the subject and said:
"The Qi Family Army made great contributions in this battle. There will be no more wars at the border in the future. Therefore, I plan to dispatch the Qi Family Army to Guangdong Province to defend against pirates and Japanese pirates. Before that, Miss Ding will follow the Qi Family Army back to Jinling!"
"The Qi family's army has fought for the country for more than fifty years and sacrificed too much. Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty cannot see it, so I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. The courtesy and rewards that should be given are all indispensable."
Ding Baiying raised his head and glanced at the sincere-looking Su Mingzhe, and couldn't help but cursed: Dog Emperor!
I came here to refuse to enter the palace and become the imperial concubine.
As a result, the Dog Emperor actually talked to him about the Qi Family Army's reward.
Doesn't this mean using Qi Jiajun to coerce himself?
Ding Baiying thought a lot, but had to stand up from the ground, and then left angrily.
The situation is stronger than the person.
Ding Baiying had to accept the threat.
Ding Baiying was sent away.
Su Mingzhe did not continue to live a ridiculous life, but called Xu Jinjue and asked him what he wanted him to do:
"Have you found out the details of the eight major families?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, we have found out clearly!"
Xu Jinjue saw that the emperor had regained his wisdom and prowess, so he quickly reported the information obtained by the Han general's private investigation in the past two days:
"The eight major families reported by Manggus are from Shanyou (West). These eight major families have been doing business for generations and have been secretly communicating with various tribes in the grassland for seven or eight generations. Overtly, they are trading grain and horses, but secretly Transporting salt, iron, and intelligence... Among them, Fan Yongdou is the main one... The one they bribed was the Zhangjiakou guard..."
Xu Jinjue told everything he had learned.
After hearing this, Su Mingzhe just yawned and waved his hand:
"Since the evidence of the crime is conclusive, let's take it, treat it as a treason, and kill the nine tribes!"
Since ancient times, there have been countless people who have betrayed their country and sought glory.
Things like the Eight Great Families, which have forgotten their ancestors and are cut into pieces with thousands of swords, are not enough to make the common people angry.
Su Mingzhe only punished the nine tribes, which was considered polite.
Late August.
Su Mingzhe waited until the affairs of the eight major families were settled, and then returned to the court with three thousand Han generals on horseback.
The Qi army took a step earlier and sailed from Peiping to return to the DPRK.
Early September.
All civil and military officials came out of the city to greet him.
At the end of last year, the Zhu clan of the Ming Dynasty rebelled one after another.
Su Mingzhe had already dealt with it and resolved it easily without showing any ability.
This year, Su Mingzhe led an army of 100,000 people out of the fortress, killing more than 100,000 enemies and capturing more than 100,000 prisoners. At the same time, he also maimed both the Jurchen and Tatar tribes.
Between the government and the public, a group of young people were shocked.
Under everyone's encouragement, Su Mingzhe's military exploits were comparable to Xu Da's sweeping victory in the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the early Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, Su Mingzhe still wants to save face.
Although Xu Da is not as good as himself in martial arts, he is much better than himself in terms of military achievements.
Everyone came to the Ancestral Temple to offer sacrifices.
Because Su Mingzhe accepted the abdication of Emperor Ming, he still retained the ancestral temple worship of Emperor Ming.
My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!
And Su Mingzhe was born an orphan and was considered the founding emperor, so he didn't need to pay too much attention to red tape.
Wait until you return to the court.
Sun Chengzong, the elder of the cabinet, came up with a reward proposal that had been discussed for a long time by the cabinet, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War.
Su Mingzhe read it over and basically accepted his suggestion, and immediately issued the order.
The person with the most military merit below the emperor is Ding Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Qi family army.
He made Ding Yi the Duke of Yue and guarded Guangdong Province, leading an army of 50,000 people.
At the same time, Ding Yi's daughter was ordered to enter the palace as a concubine.
Ding Yi quickly stood up and declined.
He did not dare to refuse his daughter's entry into the palace, but he just wanted to transfer his military merits to Qi Jiguang's descendants.
Su Mingzhe listened and agreed to Ding Yi's request.
First, the deceased Qi Jiguang was posthumously granted the title of Duke of Qi.
He also let Qi Jiguang's eldest son Qi Zuoguo ascend the throne, and he was hereditary for three generations before he surrendered.
Finally, he also decreed that Qi Jiguang's nephew Qi Jin be the Duke of Lu, and he would be hereditary for three generations before he surrendered.
When the courtiers heard this, some were surprised, while others took it for granted.
When Qi Jiguang passed away and his heirs were mediocre, the Qi family army was led by several generals and his younger brother Qi Jiming.
Qi Jin is Qi Jiming's son.
After Qi Jiming passed away, Qi Jin became the de facto leader of the Qi family army.
Over the years, the Qi family's army has conquered the north and south, and made great military exploits. Basically, they are inextricably linked to Qi Jin.
Qi Jin participated in two of the three major campaigns of Wanli.
With such outstanding achievements, the imperial court's reward for Qi Jin was just that of the general of Wu Song in the south of the Yangtze River.
During Su Mingzhe's regency, Qi Jin realized that something was wrong, so he resigned and returned to his hometown of Dingyuan on the pretext of a recurrence of his old illness.
Now, Ding Yi has transferred the credit.
Su Mingzhe took advantage of the situation and made Qi Jin the Duke of Lu.
One Qi family army produced three dukes. Although the dukes could only be hereditary for three generations, they would be demoted to marquis after three generations. This also made the noble families in Jinling City crazy with jealousy.
Since the founding of the Zheng Dynasty.
Su Mingzhe issued an order that the former Ming Dynasty nobles who were in the Dazheng Dynasty would be demoted.
The highest group of princes, under the title system of "gonghoubo, sixth-level general", that is, after eight generations, they are no different from ordinary people.
Last year, the Zhu clan rebelled, and it was discovered in Jinling City that nobles from three families had correspondence with these Zhu clan members, and then they were deprived of their titles and the nine clans were exterminated.
Now that the Dazheng Dynasty has its own nobles, the old nobles will inevitably be disappointed.
