Emperor Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said: "The soldiers who died in the Jinzhou War were all heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. All soldiers who died in the battle will be promoted to the second level and awarded posthumously."
The emperor thought for a while and then said: "All ordinary soldiers who died in battle will be posthumously awarded the rank of Military Attache of the General Banner."
The commander-in-chief is a military attaché of the seventh rank. Although to the commander-in-chief and the generals, he is an extremely small official, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is already an "official". When he becomes the commander-in-chief, he can
Wearing a cyan military attache's robe, soap boots and a black gauze hat, he has an identity and status far higher than that of a civilian.
For ordinary soldiers with civilian backgrounds, the commander-in-chief is already a well-known officer. If you can become the commander-in-chief, you will be considered outstanding.
The emperor posthumously awarded ordinary soldiers who died in battle as the general banner, which was a great honor for these soldiers. This was not only a royal gesture, but also directly changed the social status of these soldiers who died in battle. The social status of military attaches and soldiers
It can be said that there is a world of difference, and there are various differences in etiquette. With the status of the general banner, these soldiers can also enjoy higher honors in funeral etiquette, so that the soldiers' families can receive more respect.
Wang Chengen waved his hand and said to the young eunuchs behind him: "Go down and pass on the emperor's reward to the soldiers."
Dozens of eunuchs sang their promises loudly, ran down, walked among the soldiers who were being reviewed, and delivered the emperor's oral instructions to the five thousand soldiers who were being reviewed.
Hearing this good news, the nine general soldiers were all happy, and were happy for the soldiers who died in the battle. The five thousand soldiers who held the memorial tablets also had excited expressions on their faces, and were excited for the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives.
The emperor looked at the memorial tablets held by the soldiers for a while at the Meridian Gate, and then left the Meridian Gate and walked to the Huangji Hall with the guard of honor. A eunuch walked down the Meridian Gate and came to Jin Kingdom Duke Li Zhi and Jiu
A general soldier shouted: "Please dismount the Duke of Jin, Li Zhi, and the nine general soldiers, and enter the Huangji Hall to accept the reward for the Jinzhou battle."
Li Zhi and the nine general soldiers jumped off their horses and put down their weapons. Under the guidance of the eunuchs, they walked into the Meridian Gate and walked towards the Huangji Palace.
Wang Pu was very nervous along the way, his hands were trembling as he walked, and he kept hanging at the back of the nine-man army, as if he was afraid that hundreds of swordsmen would be ambushed in the Huangji Palace, and they would suddenly rush out and chop down all of them.
But after walking through Fengtian Gate, Wang Pu saw thousands of civil and military officials in court uniforms standing in the square outside Huangji Hall.
Almost all Beijing officials with some status, whether they are civilian officials from the Six Ministries or military generals in the Beijing camp, are dressed in court attire and wearing gorgeous crowns and hats. They stand on both sides of the road in the middle of the square. Obviously, the emperor wanted to reward Jinzhou today.
The heroes of the war summoned a huge team of officials to witness.
The generals looked at each other for a while, and then all looked at Li Zhi, Duke of Jin, who was walking in front. There was no need to make such a grand gesture to reward these generals. At most, they were just the crown prince's eunuchs. Obviously, this
The gorgeous ceremonial procession was set up to officially enthrone Li Zhi as the Duke of Jin.
Li Zhi was named Duke of Jin by the emperor, but no formal canonization ceremony was held. Now that the important matter has been decided, it is time to hold a ceremony.
Seeing Li Zhi approaching with nine general soldiers, the civil servants and military officers in the square all looked at Li Zhi with complicated eyes.
Some military attachés were filled with envy. Li Zhi had already achieved the title of Duke of the country at such a young age, and enjoyed such a big battle during the conferment. Even if they struggled for ten lifetimes, they would never reach such heights. It is really enviable. If there is a chance,
Be sure to curry favor with Li Zhi. Some military attachés were a little resentful towards Li Zhi, as if they were watching a show. In their minds, Li Zhi first offended the gentry of the world, and then led his troops to besiege the city to force the emperor. Sooner or later, his reputation would be ruined in the future.
Some civil servants with gentry background glared at Li Zhi nakedly, as if Li Zhi was their enemy and wanted to bite Li Zhi to death. There is no doubt that as soon as he turned around and took off his court uniform, they would try their best to make things difficult for Li Zhi.
plant.
Under the gaze of thousands of people, Li Zhi slowly crossed the square and walked towards the Huangji Hall.
Seeing such a huge lineup, Wang Pucai breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor was not too angry about the 160,000 frontier troops and Chen soldiers asking for orders in the suburbs of Beijing. There must be no ambushes in the Huangji Palace. If it is true.
If Li Zhi and the nine general soldiers were to be captured and killed, they would definitely keep a low profile and not bring in thousands of people to watch this bloody scene.
Wang Pu looked at the grand scene and thought that this was also a witness to his promotion, and he became a little happy. His face, which was slightly pale with fright, gradually turned rosy, he laughed, and strode forward with his head held high.
In the Huangji Palace, the emperor was already sitting on the throne, and senior officials in high positions were already standing on both sides in court uniforms, waiting for the arrival of Li Zhi and others. Li Zhi led nine general soldiers into the palace, knelt down and shouted long live
.
Zhu Youjian happily let Li Zhi and others lie flat, looked at the ten people up and down, stroked his beard and said: "They are all loyal ministers of my Ming Dynasty!"
After a pause, the emperor continued: "Now that the traitorous ministers who brought harm to the country and the people have been eliminated, what do the ten beloved ministers think?"
Li Zhi shouted loudly on behalf of the nine general soldiers: "My emperor is wise! My emperor obeys the heaven and obeys the people to cut off the evil. The law is magnified and the power of heaven is magnified. All the people in the world, who is not happy? Who among us warriors is not grateful?"
Zhu Youjian laughed, nodded and said, "Okay! Well said!"
Seeing Li Zhi and the emperor in a happy scene, the civil servants in the palace looked slightly sideways, with angry expressions on their faces. Unexpectedly, Li Zhi led his troops to force the palace, and it would end like this. With such an ending, the civil servants would not care about it no matter what.
Don't want to see it.
Li Zhi and nine general soldiers stood in the queue, and the officials of Honglu Temple cracked their whips and sang loudly: "The crown prince and grand master, the minister of the Ministry of War, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the governor of Ji Liao Baoding and other military affairs offices Hong Chengchou
As Wen Dingbo, Hong Chengchou came out to receive the title."
Hong Chengchou was conferred the title of uncle. Standing at the front of the ranks of civil servants, Hong Chengchou shook off his official robe and was so excited that two tears streamed down his face. He strode to the center of the Huangji Hall and prostrated on the ground to receive the title.
The complicated ceremony of conferring the title of uncle took a long time. Hong Chengchou received various ceremonial uniforms. He was so excited that he burst into tears and his face turned red. It took him half an hour to complete the entire ceremony.
Then the nine general soldiers came forward one by one to accept the reward.
Among the nine general soldiers, Cao Bianjiao had the highest official position. He was originally the prince's Shaobao. With his merits in leaving the customs, he was promoted to the prince's Taibao.
Yang Guozhu, a fellow governor of the governor, was promoted to the governor of the left, and became the crown prince Shaobao. Ma Ke, the governor of Qianshi, was promoted to a fellow governor of the governor. Zu Dashou, the governor of the left, had meritorious service in defending Jinzhou and was added to the rank of prince Shaobao. Wang Pu was originally a fellow governor of the governor, and was promoted to the governor of the left this time.
.Wu Sangui was promoted from the Governor Qianshi to the Governor Tongzhi.
Finally, it was Li Zhi's turn. After all the previous promotions, including those for other military attachés below the rank of commander-in-chief, were read out, they heard officials from Honglu Temple singing loudly: "Canonize the governor of Tianjin, the crown prince and tutor, and the left governor Li Zhi."
Zhi is the Duke of Tianjin, and Li Zhi stepped forward to receive the title!"
