The honorary titles awarded by the founding of Dashun were only one king, one duke, and seven princes. If we specifically look at the Dashun system and only count the living, there are actually only one prince and six princes.
The value of famous objects is evident.
The number of knights below marquis has finally increased: there are about 20 earls, 30 viscounts, and more than 50 barons.
The earl was mainly awarded to generals at the level of deputy general of the Fifth Battalion of Dashun, and also awarded to generals at the level of general among the generals who surrendered in the Ming Dynasty.
For example, among the five battalions of Dashun, Dang Shousu, Xin Sizhong, Ren Jirong, Wu Ruyi, and Li You who were pro-military in the middle battalion were all awarded the title of earl. The earl title of Dashun was based on the county name of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Dang Shousu was awarded the title of earl.
He was named Tongwei Bo, Xin Sizhong was named Xihe Bo, Ren Jirong was named Yiyang Bo, Wu Ruyi was named Taiping Bo, and Li You was named Wuyang Bo.
The first-level generals who are the commanders and deputies of the other battalions are also granted the title of uncle: Ma Shiyao is granted the title of Wushan Bo, Liu Rukui is granted the title of Ansu Bo, and Liu Tichun is granted the title of Guangshan Bo. Other generals Guo Yi and the generals who are actually responsible for the functions of the commander and deputy of the first battalion are also granted the title of uncle.
Uncle Feng.
Among the remaining Ming Dynasty surrendered generals, those who were awarded the title of uncle were basically officials at the level of the Ming Dynasty's general soldiers. Chen Yongfu was awarded the title of Wenshui uncle, Bai Guangen was awarded the title of Taoyuan uncle, Zuo Guangxian was awarded the title of Qin Anbo, and Niu Chenghu was awarded the title of uncle.
He was named Anhua Bo, and Ma Ke was named Huairen Bo.
Of course, there is also Jiang Quan who is worth mentioning. The Ming Dynasty general who rescued Tian Jianxiu in the Battle of Yanmen was also named an earl. The title was based on the name of a county near Yanmen Pass, called Fan.
Zhi Bo.
In addition to these people, Li Laiheng's Chu Chuang, his actual right and left deputies Bai Wang and Gao Yigong, because they held the position of Jiedushi, they were knighted in accordance with the convention that the deputy of the commander of the fifth battalion was knighted.
, they are Bai Wang and Gao Yigong, but Gu Kecheng and Guo Junzhen who were recommended by Li Laiheng himself.
Gu Kecheng took the name of Guangji County near Qizhou and was named Guangji Bo; Guojun Town took the name of Yingshan County near Suizhou and was named Yingshan Bo.
In addition to the two of them, Bai Wang and Chen Xin were also awarded the title of earl because they served as military envoys, provided military supplies to the front line, and put down many rebellions.
Bai Wang took the name of Yunmeng County under the jurisdiction of De'an Prefecture and was named Yunmeng Bo; Chen Xin took the name of Jingshan County under the jurisdiction of Chengtian Prefecture and was named Jingshan Bo.
But the situation of Gao Yigong has puzzled many people. As Li Zicheng's brother-in-law, Gao Yigong was also a member of the Shaanbei Yuan Dynasty who broke into the army, and he also made many military exploits as the military governor of Wuyue.
But he was only granted the title of Linqu Nan, the lowest baron!
Gao Yigong's title was actually just a baron, which was not only much lower than many Yuan Cong veterans with similar qualifications to him, but also much lower than the other two military governors Chen Xin and Bai Wang who were in a similar situation to him.
This is so surprising and confusing.
Li Laiheng had somewhat guessed at the intention of Dashun's founding ennoblement in making such an arrangement.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty reused the eunuch system, which was obviously resented by Li Zicheng. Some time ago, Li Zicheng had returned all the eunuchs and eunuchs presented by the Qin Palace and the Jin Palace. It can be seen that he was influenced by some of the new civil servants around him and had no feelings for eunuchs.
Have a deep feeling of disgust.
Then the same is probably true for relatives, right?
Li Zicheng certainly didn't have much ill feelings towards Gao Yigong himself, but Emperor Yongchang of Dashun, who was influenced by the newly promoted civil servants, would of course deliberately control Gao Yigong's status as a foreign relative represented by his brother-in-law.
Gao Yigong was only granted the title of baron, which showed that Dashun would try his best to suppress his relatives.
However, even Bai Wang and Chen Xin were granted the title of earl, while Gao Yigong was only granted the title of baron. Li Zicheng also had to consider the mood of his brother-in-law!
So during the banquet, officials from the Li government and the Li government soon came to Li Laiheng with edicts and letters, asking him to send someone to send the edict to Wuchang as soon as possible and tell Gao Yigong the situation. In order to appease Gao Yigong,
In addition to merely canonizing him as Linqu Nan, the edict also proposed a new appointment of Gao Yigong as the envoy of Huguang Economic Affairs.
It seems that the official system of Dashun was generally based on the defensive envoys who responded to the military preparations of the Ming Dynasty, the military envoys who responded to the governors of the Ming Dynasty, and the economic envoys who responded to the governors of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Zicheng appointed Gao Yigong as the economic and strategic envoy of Huguang, and it seemed that he planned to let Gao Yigong take charge of Hubei's military and political affairs. However, Li Laiheng did not have too many worries or concerns about this matter. After all, his institutional construction in Hubei had already reached a large scale and had a solid foundation.
Consolidation, Gao Yigong himself had a close relationship with Li Laiheng, and there was absolutely no possibility of shaking Chu Chuang's foundation.
It has achieved unprecedented improvement and has become an important force to compete with civil servants.
Dashun's right-wing military policy is already obvious from the founding arrangements.
In terms of specific civil servants, Dashun set up the Tianyou Hall, with Niu Jinxing leading the Tianyou Hall bachelor in Pingzhang political affairs. Niu Jinxing was Zuo Pingzhang, and Hui Shiyang was You Pingzhang. However, in general, because Hui
Shiyang was old and had no energy to take charge of the affairs, so Niu Jinxing became the de facto independent prime minister after the founding of Dashun.
The six ministries of the Ming Dynasty still followed the precedent and were changed to the six governments, with Shangshu and Shilang as the heads of the government; the subordinate officials were changed from Langzhong to Zhonglang, who were in charge of affairs. The six subjects were assigned to Shizhong, and they were all changed to admonishing the officials.
Specifically, the candidates for the six governments and six proposals are:
The Secretary of the Li Government is Qijiao of the Song Dynasty. The most important department of the Li Government, the Wenyu Academy, is in charge of the Li Government Minister Ning Shaoxian. Ning Shaoxian was a native of Hancheng, Shaanxi Province. He was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Chongzhen and served as the Wenshui Jiaoyu of Shanxi Province.
, is of course a member of the "Qin Party" in Niu Jinxing's eyes.
The minister of the household government is Yang Wangxiu, who is from Hejian. He previously served as a soldier in Tongguan, Shaanxi during the Ming Dynasty. The minister of the household government is Yang Jianlie, who is also from Hancheng, Shaanxi. He was a Jinshi during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.
He served as magistrate of Ye County, censor of Jiangxi Province and other official positions. He was quite famous. During the Chongzhen Dynasty, he also served as Taichang Shaoqing and Taipuqing General Affairs Secretary.
Gong Shangshu and Jiang Xueyi and Jiang Shilang were in charge of the Government of Li. The other departments were basically controlled by Niu Jinxing's disciple Gu Jiu. An Xingmin and his fellow countryman Xu Shangde were directly in charge of the government of rites.
The criminal government, the workers' government, and the military government were also controlled by Li Zhigang, a Henan student member selected by Niu Jinxing.
The previously established Shangqi Temple was officially changed to Shangxi Temple. This is because the deed is only the third grade of the four official seals used by Dashun. The so-called Shangxi Temple is the original Shangbao in the Ming Dynasty.
Secretary, palm treasure seal, talisman, seal.
In the Ming Dynasty, Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple were changed into subordinates of the Li Government. Because Taichang Temple was in charge of the rituals of the ancestral temple and Honglu Temple was in charge of court rituals, they were closely related to the functions of the Li government. Therefore, it is not surprising that similar functional agencies were restructured.
Taipu Temple, which was in charge of carriages and horses, was renamed Jianma Temple, Hanlin Academy was renamed Hongwen Academy, Yushi was renamed Zhizhishi, General Affairs Department was renamed Zhizhengshi, and Zhongshu Department was renamed Writing Room. Although they just changed their names,
However, the meaning is quite different. It highlights the focus and direction of the future and indicates some subtle changes.
The biggest change was in the Wenyuyuan, which was upgraded from the Literary Selection Department of the Civil Service Government, indicating Li Zicheng's determination to strengthen control over the selection of civil servants.
Since the Dashun Army had already occupied quite a vast territory at this time, except for Huguang and Henan, the entire northwest region, including Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai, all belonged to Dashun's territory. The area occupied by the Dashun Army already included several
To make a province, it is very necessary to set up a large number of military envoys and general envoys.
Soon, they imitated the Ming Dynasty's system of patrolling censors and dispatched direct inspectors to each province to represent the supervisory responsibilities of the central department. For example, Liu Da, the magistrate of Linfen in the Ming Dynasty, was the direct inspector of inspections in Shaanxi, and Li Ruoxing, the magistrate of Jiexiu, was the inspector in Shanxi.
According to direct command, other roads, prefectures, prefectures and counties have defense envoys, prefecture officials, prefecture shepherds, county magistrates and other officials, which are the same as in the Kaifeng period.
Specifically, Luo Rucai was appointed as the northwest economic envoy and Shaanxi Jiedu envoy, Zhou Shiqi, the magistrate of Suizhou in the Ming Dynasty, was the Yulin Jiedu envoy, Chen Zhilong, the Supervisor of the Army in the Ming Dynasty, was the Ningxia Jiedu envoy, and the Guanxi Road in the Ming Dynasty was appointed as the Jiedu envoy.
Zhou Boda was the military envoy of Gansu, General Xihe Boxin Sizhong of the Chuang Army was the military envoy of Xining, Han Wenquan, the supervisory censor of Henan Province in the Ming Dynasty, was the military envoy of Shanxi, and Liang Qilong, who was demoted in the Ming Dynasty, was the military envoy of Henan.
, and Li Laiheng’s general Guangji Bogu could become the governor of Shandong.
