Below this is the order of marquises that truly reflects the status of the direct line generals of the Chuang Army.
The first marquis was Tian Jianxiu, who was named Zehou. Zezhou was south of Taiyuan, and his experience matched Tian Jianxiu’s experience quite well. However, Tian Jianxiu had just experienced two major defeats in Datong and Yanmen, and he actually became a
The first person in the Chuang Army to be granted a title of marquis not only made Li Laiheng slightly unhappy, but also the other generals of the Chuang Army were somewhat unconvinced.
The second position of Marquis was expected by everyone and there was no doubt. Li Guo was named Marquis of Jing, which only caused some ripples among some civil servants. After all, "Jing Shu is punishment", this allusion of Wang Anshi's knighthood, most scholars
All are aware.
The civil servants had to guess, was this a hint from Li Zicheng? The senior civil servants who were closer to the core of Dashun were thinking of Niu Jinxing's hostility towards Li Guo. Could it have reached such an extent? Even the title of the founding knight was on
, will make others disgusted.
As for the third position of the Marquis, this is the question that most arouses the curiosity and concern of Dashun's civil and military officials.
Because judging from their qualifications and merits, whether it is Niu Jinxing, the first civil servant, or the three powerful generals, Li Laiheng, Liu Fangliang, and Yuan Zong, it seems that they are all qualified to aspire to the status of the third marquis.
In terms of actual strength, Li Laiheng is of course the highest. In fact, the scale of his construction in Huguang and the power of Chu Chuang are even greater than that of Qin Wang Zhang Xianzhong, the ally that the Dashun Army is trying to win over, and Luo Rucai, the number one prince within the Dashun Army.
.
Just because Li Laiheng deliberately hid his strength and stayed outside the direct lineage of Chu Chuang for a long time, Li Zicheng did not know Chu Chuang's strength clearly. Otherwise, there is no doubt that Li Laiheng should have at least enjoyed the same level of feudal treatment as Luo Rucai.
When the third person of the Marquis was proposed, the result was unexpected and reasonable.
The third marquis turned out to be He Jin, the former leader of the Left Fifth Battalion, who was ambushed and killed by local chieftains near Qinghai Lake during his expedition to Gansu.
He Jin was posthumously granted the title of Marquis of Su. Although he died in battle before conquering Suzhou. However, shortly after He Jin's death, the generals Dang Shousu and Xin Sizhong who stayed in the northwest sent troops to conquer Liangzhou and Suzhou.
Revenge for He Jin.
After the founding of the Dashun Kingdom, the title of He Jin as the Marquis of Su was also the intention of the other rebel armies who defected to the Dashun army in An.
Moreover, He Jin is a dead person after all, so using him as the most controversial third marquis can also appease the hearts of the generals.
After He Jin, Li Laiheng was appointed as Suihou, Liu Fangliang was appointed as Cihou, and Yuan Zongdi was appointed as Mianhou.
It goes without saying that Li Laiheng was given the title of Suihou, because the place where everything originated from Chu Chuang was Suizhou.
Liu Fangliang's Cihou has nothing to do with the recent battles of the Chuang Army near Cizhou, Shanxi Province, but dates back to the ancient period when the Northern Shaanxi Rebel Army first crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi many years ago.
That was about ten years ago. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, in order to avoid the main force of the Ming army, the rebel army in northern Shaanxi led Wang Jiayin into the Jin Dynasty. During this period, Li Zicheng began to rise to prominence, and Liu Fangliang also established his position during this period.
He achieved great success in conquering Cizhou.
The founding of the Dashun Kingdom with Liu Fangliang as the Cihou also showed that he would not forget the past military exploits and experiences of the rebel generals, and appease the Yuan Cong generals in northern Shaanxi.
The same is true for Yuan Zongdi’s Mianhou:
After the Chu army occupied Mizhi and Suide in the ninth year of Chongzhen, they planned to cross the Yellow River and then enter Shanxi. Since Shanxi Governor Wu Gang strengthened the defense of the Yellow River crossing, they had to change their plan and head west, first to Gansu and then to Ningxia after development.
Qinzhou went south to Hanzhong.
Around October of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the invasion army first broke through Ningqiang, the choke point from Shaanxi to Sichuan, then conquered Qipanguan and Chaotianguan in Sichuan, and occupied Guangyuan County. Then it was like entering an uninhabited country, and defeated dozens of people in a row.
Prefectures and counties, and even besieged Chengdu. It was during this process that Yuan Zongdi led his troops to conquer Mianzhou in Sichuan and made contributions to the capture of the state city, so he was named Mianhou.
Li Laiheng originally estimated that, judging from how much he cherished his reputation when the country was founded, it would be difficult for others except Luo Rucai, Tian Jianxiu, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang, and Yuan Zongdi to
Reached the height of a marquis.
Only five marquises were granted at the founding of the country. Such a famous instrument can be said to be quite precious. It can also be seen that the Dashun in the original history offered Wu Sangui a price for both father and son to be granted the title of marquis. It is so high that even Liu Zongmin
, Tian Jianxiu is just a prince.
Dashun was able to win over Zhang Xianzhong, who was in a hostile relationship with him, by the King of Qin, which was much wiser than the Nanming court, which was still unwilling to make Sun Kewang the King of Qin at the end of the road.
But in the end, something happened that slightly surprised Li Laiheng.
"...I will change Li Nai's surname back to Zhang and grant him the title of Marquis of Yi..."
Li government officials slowly read out the contents of the edict. It seemed that even Niu Jinxing did not know about this, so he showed a rather shocked expression.
Li Guo still had a serious face, and there was no wave or movement in the ancient well.
After Li Laiheng and Fang Yiren looked at each other, they both felt that Li Zicheng's intentions were quite subtle. Then they both focused on the expressions of Tian Jianxiu and Li Shuangxi, the husband-in-law. Tian Jianxiu's brows were furrowed.
It seemed that he was quite surprised. Even Jiang Yan, who had been very close to Tian Jianxiu recently, had an ugly expression.
On Li Shuangxi's side, Shao Shichang, the counselor standing beside Li Shuangxi, widened his eyes. It seemed that he did not expect that Li Zicheng would have such an arrangement. Only Li Shuangxi himself was full of joy, and seemed to be particularly concerned about the matter of being granted the title of marquis.
Joy and glory.
Indeed, Li Shuangxi was originally only a general, but he actually received the first-class title of marquis, which was only reserved for general Quan. He should be happy.
However, another point that the civil and military officials of the Dashun Dynasty paid more attention to was that the edict required Li Shuangxi, who should now be called Li Nai, to change his surname back to his original name.
After changing his surname back to his original name, he should be called Zhang Shuangxi or Zhang Nai.
Not named Li...
Naturally, this does not belong to the royal family of the new dynasty.
After all, Zhang Nai was not Li Zicheng's biological son, but just an adopted son. He had no real blood connection with the Li family. The title of Marquis of Yi also explained some problems.
Li Zicheng has always been childless, but he and Mrs. Gao have a daughter. It seems that fertility is not a problem. It is just that he has been in a military trance for a long time and has no time to raise children. Now that he has founded a country and proclaimed himself emperor, he will inevitably establish a harem in the future. Li Zicheng is at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period.
At this age, I am certainly confident that I will be able to give birth to a biological son in the future.
As for Li Laiheng, although he was Li Guo's adopted son, his surname was also Li. This time, the founding of the country did not mention the return of Li Laiheng to his clan, which was equivalent to the recognition of Li Laiheng's role in the new Dashun Dynasty.
Among them, the status of being a member of the royal family.
Thinking of this, Li Laiheng couldn't help but cast his eyes on Li Guo's face - was it because Li Zicheng was confident that he could have a son and was particularly reassured about Li Guo that he acquiesced to Li Laiheng becoming the Dashun royal family as his adopted son?
?
Or is it that Li Guo did other mediating work during this and persuaded Li Zicheng through his long-term friendship with Li Zicheng?
Li Guo had no expression, but no matter what the situation was, no matter what role Li Guo played in it, Li Laiheng felt that Li Guo was indeed deeply kind to him.
The current situation...the future predictions for myself, Fang Yiren and others can be regarded as the best situation.
