Chapter 1051 Noble

The military parade was originally proposed by Chang Yu, with three purposes.

The first is to invigorate the military and stabilize the people's morale, the second is to strengthen the influence of the imperial power, and the third is to appreciate merits, which is also the most important part.

From the Battle of Taiyuan a few months ago to the subsequent Battle of Ningyuan to the Battle of King Qin of Baoding Prefecture, as well as the just-concluded Battle of the Tatars entering the Pass, the Ming army participated in the battle with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, traveling to many places and traveling thousands of miles.

Throwing their heads and blood, countless soldiers sacrificed their lives to protect the five northern provinces and avoid the danger of the Ming Dynasty's collapse.

How many of these soldiers fought bloody battles, those who died in the battle must be dealt with, and those who survived must be rewarded!

The imperial court could not let them down, because the war in the south still required them to work hard, so Emperor Chongzhen decided to reward these meritorious soldiers generously.

The country is suffering from internal and external troubles, but fortunately, you have sacrificed your lives to defend the country. I am very grateful and should reward you according to your merits... Emperor Chongzhen stood up and walked to Taipei Yuan, the general, and watched the generals in the audience make a brief but sincere speech.

After Che's speech, he immediately ordered the eunuch Wang Chengen to read out the list of rewards.

There was silence in the audience. Everyone was listening attentively. The list of awards was from low to high. There were ordinary soldiers who fought bravely and were promoted to small flags, general flags, low-level military attachés such as generals, and some middle-level generals.

, among them, Yang Zhenwei, the former Datong commander-in-chief Jiang Yu’s subordinate, was the most important.

He supplemented the army of Datong and was awarded General Zhenshuo (the official seal of Xuanfu). It can be said that he completely filled the gap of Jiang Quan! His worth was instantly on par with Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong.

Yang Zhenwei was stunned by the sudden happiness. Obviously, he did not expect to upgrade so much at once, but then he thought about what the little eunuch had hinted to him, work hard, Jiang Yu's position was still vacant, and he felt extremely grateful.

.

In fact, you have to know that he has worked very hard in the past few months. From Datong to Taiyuan, he followed Zhou Yuji to Baoding Prefecture and then to the capital, and then pursued the Qing army southward. He traveled thousands of miles and worked hard without complaint. The little eunuch did not break his promise and finally pushed him up.

.

And He Chengxin, who worked just as hard as him, was originally just a staff general, but now he has been promoted to deputy general, and awarded the title of general Xinwu, a dignified fourth-grade military general.

The remaining eight generals including Zhou Yuji's Qin Songwang and Gao Qi, and Huang Degong's subordinate Weng Zhiqi were all promoted. Almost everyone had a share and everyone had meat to eat.

Even Hao Yaoqi, the surrendered general who had been vacant, was awarded the title of General Mingwei, Captain of the Mounted Cavalry, and the title of Staff General by Li Yantong due to his outstanding military achievements.

Another surprise was that Liu Tichun, who was injured and captured in Taiyuan, had recovered from his injuries and was made a general. He also followed orders under Li Yan.

Every time Wang Chenen remembered someone, the general who received the reward would go to the stage to thank him, and there would be a eunuch in the audience to give him books, seals and other things.

But these are just appetizers. The real highlight is how to reward those military leaders, such as Wu Sangui, Zhou Yuji, and Huang Degong.

"Li Yan stepped forward to listen to the order." When Wang Chengen on the stage ordered the generals, he roared loudly. The civil and military officials on both sides of the stage immediately became unable to sit still and whispered, "Here we come, here we come, the main event is coming."

Li Yan hurriedly came out of the queue, bowed in front of the stage and handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, Wan'an, your Majesty, Li Yan accepts the order."

"The emperor has a decree, Li Yan comes to the stage to receive the award." As soon as Wang Chengen finished speaking, Wen Wu on the stage exclaimed in a low voice. It seems that the reward is not small. During the discussion, Li Yan hurriedly came to the stage to express his gratitude and knelt down in front of Emperor Chongzhen's throne: "Your Majesty,

Li Yan went to see the emperor."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up from his seat and walked to him to support him: "You are injured, please recover." Li Yan kowtowed and thanked him.

"Li Yan made great contributions in suppressing the bandits and quelling the chaos. He was awarded the seal of the General Soldier, made the Crown Prince and Tutor, and entered the Fengzhu Kingdom..."

There was an uproar in the audience. At the beginning of the year, they heard that Emperor Chongzhen had praised the meritorious military generals and established the Eight-Pillar State of Military Affairs in the Xueqian Dynasty, alongside the civil servants.

In the past thousand years, Zhuguo had been the pinnacle of civil service, coveted by countless people, and there were also military and low-level civil servants. However, by the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the title had become empty and most of it was given posthumously.

The Wuzhu Kingdom was once brilliant in history. During the Western Wei Dynasty, there were eight Zhuguo generals who were powerful in the world! It was known as the Eight Pillars Kingdom in history, and Li Yuan's grandfather and maternal grandfather were both among them.

Now, Emperor Chongzhen also wants to create a Ming Dynasty version of the Eight Pillar States generals!

But no one expected that the first one would be Li Yan, a young man who had surrendered to the imperial court just a few months ago as a rebel military advisor. But it was this young man who, after surrendering, traveled thousands of miles from Taiyuan to help outside the customs, and took command during the battle between King Qin and King Qin of Baoding Prefecture.

He commanded the northern troops and horses to fight with Li Zicheng, and finally defeated him, blocking the northward path of the intruder army.

Later, he accompanied the young eunuch to pursue the Qing army southward, and almost the entire army was wiped out in the battle of Xianghe...He assisted the young eunuch along the way in strategizing and could act independently. He was a rare handsome man. He also had clear rewards and punishments and strict military discipline.

"Thank you, my lord." Li Yan was trembling with excitement. After receiving the book and the gold seal, he didn't know how to put it down. He was surrounded by his generals and cheered. Wu Sangui and other big bosses also came forward to congratulate him.

Then Zhou Yuji was named on the stage to be conferred, and Wenwu on stage held his breath again. Everyone knew that he had great military exploits. If he hadn't held on to Taiyuan with all his strength, the intruders would have led dozens of thieves to the city of Beijing by the west road.

, and then he rushed eastward to support Liu Fangliang and held back Liu Fangliang, and exerted great efforts in the battle between King Qin and King Qin of Baoding Prefecture. There were also the subsequent defense battles of the capital and the southward pursuit. He has always been the main general under Chang Yu.

"Gazhuguo, granted Xibo the title to build a mansion, and the emperor granted him a military memorial arch."

Damn! The audience immediately exploded again.

Although the Zhu Kingdom is said to be awesome, it means that the military attaché rank is at the highest level, but being awarded a title is the most coveted, because it is a great joyous event that will bring glory to the family and bring blessings to future generations, and will be remembered forever.

In the past dynasties, those who were awarded titles were either due to their meritorious service to the country or their great military exploits. In the case of the Ming Dynasty, most of the princes and princes in the fiefdom were generals when Taizu founded the country and Chengzu seized power. In the following generations, there were almost no such achievements.

Most of the people who were awarded titles for military merit were the brother-in-law, brother-in-law or father-in-law of a certain emperor. They were all of little value.

But now Zhou Yuji was knighted. Although he mentioned his great military exploits, no one expected that he would be knighted. There was a lot of envy in the audience, and some people were jealous even if they tried to hide it.

What you think is the only one is actually just the beginning.

Then came Huang Degong, Jiazhuguo, Crown Prince Taifu, Jingnanbo (at this time in history, Huang Degong was promoted to Jingnanbo)

Fuck, is this guy worthy? When the civil and military commotion was happening on stage, a few people could no longer control their envy, jealousy, and hatred. They were so jealous that they could spit fire. Wu Sangui was so scheming that he could still hold it back. Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing were already

He cursed in a low voice.

Of course Huang Degong is worthy!

When the rebel army went north, Emperor Chongzhen ordered all ministries to serve the king. Who came?

Except for the good boy Tang Tong, as for the arrival of Huang Degong, although he arrived late in history, this time he was just in the right place and became an effective general under Chang Yu. His ability cannot be said to be top-notch, but he dares to fight and fight hard because of this

It has left behind many big warlords.

"Tang Tong, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, listens to the enfeoffment, adds pillars to the country, and enfeoffs Xibo!"

The audience was very abnormal, and many civil and military officials were stunned.

Although it is unexpected that Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong were knighted, it is understandable. After all, the five northern provinces have been in constant war in the past few months. Thanks to the two men's efforts to turn the tide, Tang Tong... although he had military exploits, he was not Be knighted.

So many people were surprised, even Tang Tong himself! A confused Xie En glanced at the little eunuch next to him, and when he saw Chang Yu smiled and nodded at him, he was very grateful, knowing that it was the little eunuch who had done it. force.

He sealed three earls in one go, including Tang Tong, a general whose military exploits were not very significant, which surprised all the officials. The audience was already noisy, but Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the stage and smiled without saying a word. Stop.

In fact, in history, Emperor Chongzhen made several counts in one breath before destroying his country. Liu Zeqing, Wu Sangui, etc. were among them. The purpose was to let others save him.

It's a pity that when Dangkou was granted the title of Marquis, it would be of no use as it was not valuable enough.

But things are different now, pure gold.

As for the reason why Tang Tong was appointed Ding Xibo, although many civil and military officials could not figure it out, both Chang Yu and Emperor Chongzhen knew it very well, that is, he was well-behaved and obedient.

What Ming Dynasty needs most at this time is loyal and obedient people.

Therefore, the award of Tang Tong also means a thousand gold to buy horse bones.

Be obedient and you will have candy.

"Wu Sangui, come on stage to receive the award." During the commotion, Wang Chengen shouted, and there was a sudden silence in the audience. Everyone looked at Wu Sangui who was walking quickly on the stage.

This man is the most powerful warlord in the Ming Dynasty at present. In the battle of Ningyuan a month ago, the Ming Dynasty broke the predicament of inevitable defeat in border battles for several years. His influence and significance were extraordinary, so he used this battle to join the emperor. If you want to win over him, I'm afraid the grant will be quite large.
