Chapter seven hundred and thirty-eight expedition to destroy Buddha Lang machine
In Wang Wenhua's words, Li Xuan's title was upgraded again, from the Eternal Saint King to the Eternal Saint King!
Regarding Wang Wenhua's compliments, Li Xuan first had a serious look on his face, and then said seriously: "There is no need to say these flattery words!"
But I was very satisfied in my heart, thinking that after beating Wang Wenhua last time, this Wang Wenhua was obviously much more well-behaved, and without Wang Wenhua always around, I can only see him on this slightly more special day.
, to be honest, Li Xuan, who is used to Wang Wenhua's various compliments, is a little uncomfortable.
Otherwise, he would not have put Wang Wenhua back on duty in the imperial study room before. Although he was not the minister on duty in the past, he was just a walker, but it was actually a political statement, which showed that he, Li Xuan, would not abandon heroes at will, especially
The old ministers who followed him to conquer the world in the early days of Huang Zhushan.
Even Fang Dongquan and Huang Xueren, who were deprived of real power by Li Xuan, are still serving in the Privy Council, with the rank of major general and the title of earl, and they can be hereditary after three generations.
After all, the world has not yet been completely conquered. We should be cautious when dealing with the early founding heroes. We cannot cook dogs into dog meat before killing rabbits, and throw away bows and arrows before killing birds.
Into the warehouse!
Even if the rabbit is killed and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden, it will be a matter of the future!
Now, it's still too early!
Wang Wenhua, who returned to the imperial study, did not complain at all. Instead, as before, he concentrated on studying how to take pictures of Li Xuan's horses. In the past six months, he felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to take pictures of Li Xuan's horses just by talking.
So he started to take some practical actions, such as trying his best to select beautiful women for Li Xuan to send to the palace to enrich the palace dance troupe.
Sometimes Li Xuan felt that it didn't take long for Wang Wenhua to find a good-looking woman and send him in, which was really embarrassing for him.
After all, there is no porn these days, beauties are all original, and to be honest, beauties are actually a very scarce resource in real society, especially in ancient times!
It’s actually not easy to find a beautiful young woman with fair skin!
In ancient times, beauties mostly appeared in wealthy families. Basically, don’t expect many peerless beauties from farm families. Occasionally, a few jaspers from small families would be good, because beauty and white skin have high requirements on the environment.
If you do farm work in the sun, the probability of a beautiful woman will naturally be reduced, and at the same time, there are actually requirements for genes!
So generally speaking, the probability of a beautiful woman appearing in a wealthy family is higher.
But these days, wealthy families account for only a small proportion of the total population, less than one percent!
So it is actually not easy for Wang Wenhua to find a woman for Li Xuan, well, a dancer from the palace dance troupe!
Li Xuan saw Wang Wenhua's hard work and loyalty to the emperor and was very pleased. If this is not a good minister, what is a good minister?
So not long after Li Xuan kicked Wang Wenhua out of the Imperial Study Room, he transferred him back to the Imperial Study Room for a walk.
At this time, Wang Wenhua started to flatter, and others naturally followed quickly. Regardless of whether they wanted to or not, this flattery must be flattered!
There is no flattery for the emperor. Although the emperor is not unhappy, he will definitely not be happier!
Facing the flattery of the ministers, Li Xuan always kept a straight face, as if you don't want this, don't, don't want it, but he just said it twice, and then there was nothing more...
He accepted the congratulations, um, compliments from the ministers with peace of mind!
Then I reciprocated the favor, saying that this great victory is not all due to me, but also to all my dear friends!
At this time, Wang Wenhua ran out again, and then praised Li Xuan once again. He is really the eternal sage. This credit can be divided among the ministers, but even if it is divided, it should be your incomparable wise majesty who takes one of the ten thousand and one points.
Ten thousand, all the ministers and everyone else put together can only occupy one share!
Ever since, this time the morning court has entered the time for the monarch and his ministers to compliment each other!
Li Xuankuo and the others are loyal to the military and are effective in doing things. Li Xuankuo, the ministers, is brave and powerful. He is the most powerful emperor from ancient times to the present!
Of course, flattery is flattery, things still have to be done!
After a period of flattery between the emperor and his ministers, Zeng Ziwen, as the army representative, simply drew up a list and amount of rewards for meritorious soldiers based on Hao Bainian's battle report.
Of course, this time the reward only involves the middle and lower-level generals as well as ordinary soldiers and personnel above the level of brigadier general. It is Li Xuan's right to give such a reward, and they do not have this power.
And it is impossible for Li Xuan to promote these generals above the brigadier level after they win a battle. The Tang Army is so big, every carrot is a pit. If they win a battle, they will be promoted.
Level, Li Xuan doesn't have that many positions for them.
Therefore, for the merits of the generals above brigadier general, please remember that you should not expect military ranks or positions. They will definitely remain the same as before, but some other honorary rewards are still required.
They are all bits and pieces, such as jade pendants, antiques, swords, horses and the like.
Given their status, if they want to be promoted, they must at least capture Changsha first and completely establish the victory south of the Yangtze River in Huguang.
However, the Sixth Infantry Division is an exception!
In order to encourage the 6th Infantry Division to continue to hold on, Cai Erhu was awarded the title of Marquis, two colonels were awarded the title of brigadier general, and other soldiers with a little merit basically received thicker rewards.
As for the exception of the Sixth Infantry Division, the ministers and staff on duty in the imperial study are very clear about it. Even the civil servants Liu Bagou and Qian Mengjiu know that the Sixth Infantry Division cannot be handled with common sense.
.
Even Wang Wenhua, who did not deal with government affairs on weekdays and spent all his time trying to please Li Xuan, and who was secretly belittled as a jester by many officials of the Tang Dynasty, expressed his clear support for this matter and even said that the reward was not strong enough.
, especially the rewards for ordinary soldiers, it is not enough to rely on nominal honors alone, there must be real materials.
Li Xuan also followed Wang Wenhua's suggestion and made a decision directly. During the defense of the city, all soldiers of the Sixth Infantry Division would receive double pay. Because the gold and silver could not be transported to Nanchang, they would be paid directly to the soldiers' homes.
Then collect the letters written by the soldiers’ families and send them to Nanchang!
On the one hand, it is to give the wartime family members of the soldiers who defended the city money that is hard to buy, and on the other hand, it is also trying to encourage the morale of the soldiers through the words of their families!
You must let those soldiers know that your family's fields and tax benefits are all due to your loyalty to the emperor and your fighting. Once the Ming army is defeated and comes to kill them, everything will be lost.
Needless to say, if you defect to the traitors, the power of the Tang Dynasty goes directly to the village level. Soldiers are all registered. If you become a deserter or surrender, your land will be taken back immediately, and tax incentives will be provided immediately.
If canceled, it will also affect the family.
Well, this is actually a threat!
Just like how many civil and military officials in Huguang, Jiangxi and other provinces were replaced by officials from other places by the Ming Dynasty, if the official turned traitor, his family would be confiscated and his family would be exterminated immediately!
After finishing the affairs related to the army, Zeng Ziwen, Bao Yifen and other generals who entered the Imperial Study Room on behalf of the military consciously kept their mouths shut.
Because what follows is all the affairs of the cabinet, military generals like them basically have no way to intervene. At most, they will only intervene when it concerns the military!
Why?
Because the last time the person who interfered randomly in the civil affairs affairs within the cabinet was the former Minister of Logistics Department of the Privy Council and one of the staff in the Imperial Study Room. He was kicked out of the Imperial Study Room a few days after interfering, and then a few days later, he was kicked.
Mentioned that he served as the commander of the Guangxi militia, and his military rank also changed to reserve army major general!
In other words, this person was kicked out of active service!
The reason was just because he had a hand in the civil affairs affairs within the cabinet, well, although his attitude at the time was a little more intense!
Separation of military and political affairs has always been a principle that Li Xuan firmly adheres to!
The army only cares about fighting, not even the production of ordnance!
Civil servants, on the other hand, can only be responsible for internal affairs and material supply. They have no power to control how the military fights wars!
While Zeng Ziwen and others closed their eyes to rest, Deng Chongqing, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, also spoke: "Your Majesty, a few days ago a fleet of Folangji people arrived in Guangzhou, saying that they were sending envoys to Zhaoqing for an audience.
, repair trade!”
As he said that, he took out a document and said: "This is the document submitted by the envoy of Folangji. The original text is in Folangji, and the attachment is in Thai and Latin. This is the interpreter of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the person of Folangji."
Interpreter, jointly translate the Chinese text!"
Li Xuan took it and glanced at it briefly. The first sentence made him very, very, very unhappy.
Damn it, this man from Franji actually calls himself the plenipotentiary envoy of the Emperor of Franji Kingdom!
Damn, damn!
Franji Country is right!
There’s nothing wrong with being a plenipotentiary envoy!
But the word emperor in it made him very unhappy!
The land of the world is not the land of the king. There can only be one emperor in this world, and that is Li Xuan. Even Mr. Zhengde is just a false emperor. These mere barbarians dare to call themselves emperors!
He didn't bother to read the rest of the content. He just asked Deng Chongqing, Minister of Foreign Affairs, "Is this title a wrong translation?"
At this time, Deng Chongqing, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, said with a look of panic on his face: "Your Majesty is aware that the title of the document is definitely not a mistranslation. At the beginning, our interpreter and the interpreter of Fo Langjiren translated it as the word king.
However, the envoy from Langji, who was proficient in Chinese writing, firmly opposed it and insisted on using the word emperor!"
Before Li Xuan could speak, Liu Bagou on the side said: "This is unreasonable. This is simply treason. Your Majesty respects you as the emperor, and those barbarians dare to use the same honorific title as your Majesty. This is simply intolerable!"
Then he came out and said: "I am reporting to you to send troops to Fo Langji to destroy his country with the Thunder King Division and take away his name!"
After listening to Liu Bagou's words, Li Xuan was also a little speechless. Although this title was inappropriate and absolutely unacceptable, but for this reason, he sent a large army to Portugal thousands of miles away?
This idea is a bit big, and Li Xuanyi couldn't accept it for a while!
