"The king of Yan, who oversees the country of Dashun, and the country of Dazhu, has the general in charge of the camp, and the president of the army marching in the north has passed the order..."
"The King of Dashun Jin Dynasty, Dazhu Kingdom, the former admiral of Camp Quan, the Jianghuai Economic Envoy, the Qilu Dao Marching Prime Minister Laiheng Order..."
Niu Jinxing looked at the "Edict" sent from Daming Mansion, his arrogance rose in his chest, and he became even more angry. He endured his anger and did not throw the edict to the ground, but said angrily to Tian Jianxiu:
"It's okay for Li Guo to be king and supervise the country. How dare he be crowned king if he is the second child!"
Tian Jianxiu remained silent, his face was dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
On the contrary, Jiang Yu, who is actually in charge of Taiyuan's defense, is most concerned about the survival of the Dashun Army in Taiyuan and Shanxi - because all of Jiang Yu's connections, prestige, and old troops are in Shanxi. Once Shanxi suffers a loss, it will not be tolerated.
He, who is with the Qing Dynasty, is no longer of use to Dashun. How will he deal with himself then?
Therefore, Jiang Guan is most concerned about Li Guo, who has a large number of troops, and whether Li Laiheng and his son can strongly support Shanxi. Seeing that Niu Jinxing spoke so rudely, he was already very unhappy, and secretly cursed this Dashun dog civil servant, isn't he better than the Ming Dynasty?
Many people have visited him, and he has given gentle words of persuasion:
"Grand Master, King Yan called him the supervisor of the country. This was also a consideration to unify the Dashun armies. In fact, when the late emperor died, since King Yan had already named King Yan as King Wu of Zhou, then even if King Yan directly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Daming Mansion,
Most people are unable to object.
It was only because the war in Taiyuan was urgent and neither Tian Gong nor the Grand Master could spare time to attend the meeting with the famous ministers, King Yan temporarily demoted him to the supervisory state. His Highness, King Yan, was so loyal to the country and worked together to help the generals. His intention was only superficial.
The matter of Li Laiheng being crowned king cannot be said to be that serious!
What's more, didn't King Jin just send us a lot of food? The first batch alone was nearly 100,000 dan! Can't these grains and military supplies be exchanged for a prince? In any case, King Jin is also a member of the Dashun clan.
Ah, and with such military exploits, I think it is the practice of all dynasties for the clan to be crowned king, so there is really no need for the Grand Master to be so angry."
Not long after Niu Jinxing and Zhang Nai led their troops to Taiyuan from Zhangde, their subordinates had not yet fully recovered from the defeat of Huolu. Therefore, Li Laiheng's timely transfer of a large amount of grain and fodder supplies from Huguang was no longer a problem for Jiang.
Both are very important to Zhang Nai.
Zhang Nai received this gift, and he and Li Laiheng were old friends, so it was not easy for him to echo Niu Jinxing's remarks. However, Zhang Nai himself felt that his mood was very subtle. After all, he was once Li Zicheng's adopted son, but Li Laiheng was just Li Guo.
Zhang Nai was the adopted son of the Chuang Army, but Li Laiheng was just a newcomer who joined the army during the Shangluoshan period. To elaborate, it was Zhang Nai who rescued Li Laiheng into the Chuang Camp!
But now Li Laiheng has actually been crowned king... He seems to have a status below one person and above ten thousand people. Not to mention Zhang Nai, even Tian Jianxiu was only named Pingyang Gong by the prison country.
Duke Pingyang was just a duke, and he was still a second level behind princes like King Yan and King Jin, let alone Zhang Nai's Marquis of Yi!
Zhang Nai felt very uncomfortable and finally couldn't help but say:
"Although it is not a strange thing for clan members to be crowned kings since ancient times. But now the war is raging, and the soldiers are all ready to fight but have not yet been crowned or rewarded. I won't go into details about Laiheng's military exploits.
Li Zijing had never fought with Chuangying and had no meritorious service. Why was he named King of Zhao?
Even Cao Cao granted the title of Duke Nanyang, and Taishan was just Duke Pingyang!"
Tian Jianxiu married his daughter to Zhang Nai very early. Since the two were son-in-law, their intimacy was naturally unmatched by others. Therefore, what Zhang Nai said was reasonable to everyone.
Zhang Nai’s secretary in charge, Shao Shichang, nodded in agreement and said:
"We have no objections to the supervision of the country. We only named Li Laiheng the King of Jin and the fact that Li Zijing was the King of Zhao...it really chilled the hearts of all the soldiers."
Jiang Yan only wanted to fight back to Datong quickly. He looked at Tian Jianxiu's face and simply asked: "What do you think, Mr. Tian?"
Tian Jianxiu lowered his eyelids and looked at the series of noble positions that Li Guofeng granted him: Dashun Pingyang Gong, Dazhu Kingdom, Admiral Zhongying General Quan, Yanjin Economic Envoy, Hedong Road Marching Prime Minister... his face was shocking.
Impenetrable.
According to the plan of Gong Yan, the Minister of Rites Government, the hierarchical treatment of officials in the Dashun Dynasty will be further tilted towards actual positions, the casual rank system will continue to be diluted and simplified, and casual officials and honorary officers will be merged and regarded as just an honorary title.
Among Tian Jianxiu's series of noble titles, the first one is Pingyang Gong, who is a Spyge, and Dashun Spyge, who is inherited by a descending rank. The heirs will inherit the title by descending one level from the original title. In this way, they will be demoted one by one according to the title system.
The number of hereditary inheritances is limited, and each time the inheritor is inherited, the inheritor can only inherit a title that is one level lower than the original title of the inherited person.
However, Tian Jianxiu's Pingyang Duke was the founding noble, and the founding title could be replaced by three generations without being downgraded.
The second item, Dazhuguo, is the honorary title. Gong Yan combined the civil and military casual officials and honorary officers of the Ming Dynasty into civil and military honorary titles. Dazhuguo is the honorary title of the first-class military officer. The honorary titles all use the names of the Tang Dynasty, Dazhu
The countries below are respectively Shangzhuguo, Zhuguo, Shanglingjun, Middle Lingjun, Lingjun, Shanghujun, Zhonghujun, Hujun, etc...
The third item, General Quan, the admiral of Zhongying, and the fourth item, Yan-Jin Economic and Strategic Envoy, are Tian Jianxiu’s actual duties. General Quan, the admiral of Zhongying, is a military position. According to the analogy of the Great Shun system, generals are equivalent to generals, and generals are equivalent to generals.
The admiral and the Yan-Jin economic envoy were civil servants and were equivalent to the governor-general.
Theoretically, due to the separation of civil and military affairs, Tian Jianxiu should not hold the two positions of General Quan and Yan-Jin Economic Envoy at the same time. But now is the extraordinary period of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the war situation is as urgent as sparks. It is necessary to concentrate the military and political power in one person.
, so as to cope with critical battle situations.
Therefore, not only Tian Jianxiu, but also Li Laiheng and Luo Rucai also served as general envoys as generals.
The last item, the Marching Prime Minister of Hedong Road, is a temporary position. His duties and responsibilities are similar to those of the Prime Minister of a certain province in the Ming Dynasty. His official name is Gong Shangshu, which is based on the General Manager of the Marching of a certain road in the Tang Dynasty. The reason why the General Manager was changed
He was called Prime Minister because in the Ming Dynasty, the title of General Manager was already regarded as similar to that of steward, and was not as honorable as Prime Minister.
Judging from this series of official positions, except for the title, Tian Jianxiu's Pingyang Duke is indeed far behind Li Laiheng's Jin Wang. In terms of honorary titles and actual duties, although he is lower than Li Guo's Northern Marching President, he is
In fact, he has the same status as Li Laiheng and Luo Rucai.
In other words, in Li Guo's view, Li Laiheng, Luo Rucai, and Tian Jianxiu are the three most powerful factions in the current Dashun army.
Of course Tian Jianxiu himself had no idea about Dashun's throne. His only doubt was about Zhang Nai. After all, Zhang Nai was Li Zicheng's adopted son. If Li Guo could give Zhang Nai the real Dashun royal family like he did with Li Laiheng,
As a lineage, the legitimacy of Zhang Nai's succession to the throne will be higher than that of Li Guo.
Judging from the edict issued by Li Guo in the name of supervising the country, the Daming Mansion did not mention Zhang Nai at all, which made Tian Jianxiu dissatisfied.
But like Li Guo, he knew that in the case of Li Zicheng's sacrifice, all the generals must work together to tide over the difficulties, so he decided to put this matter aside for the time being.
Tian Jianxiu looked at these people and finally said:
"Well...since Buzhi has already overseen the country, I think the affairs of Dashun can at least be somewhat stable. Regarding the matter of conferring the king, Li Laiheng and Li Zijing are both close relatives of Dashun. Since it has been the practice of the royal family to appoint princes in all dynasties, supervising the country
This approach cannot be said to be unreasonable.
The most important thing now is to defend Taiyuan and stabilize the situation in Shanxi.
Qi Weng, if you are dissatisfied with the supervision of the country, you can go to the Queen Mother yourself and explain the situation."
After Li Zicheng's death, Mrs. Gao naturally became Empress Dowager Gao. Now Empress Dowager Gao is also taking care of the children in Taiyuan City, but she does not interfere in political affairs and is almost in seclusion.
Jiang Quan hurriedly said: "Tian Gong is right. Han Wenquan told me not long ago that the Qing army's movements have changed a lot. Several groups of Tatar troops near Taiyuan have gradually moved their troops northward.
The situation seems to be spying on northern Shaanxi."
Han Wenquan was the supervisory censor of the Ming Dynasty. After surrendering to Dashun, he was appointed Shanxi Jiedushi by Li Zicheng. He was also in Taiyuan City at this time. However, he was not regarded as a trusted figure by Tian Jianxiu and Niu Jinxing, so he did not participate.
This secret meeting.
After hearing this, Dang Shousu suddenly thought of something and said: "Mobilize to the north? Are the Tatars going to give up attacking Taiyuan and directly cross the river to attack northern Shaanxi?"
Zhang Nai disagreed and said: "Northern Shaanxi has a dangerous terrain, continuous fortresses, and Yuan Zongdi has many soldiers and horses. The Qing army will not be stupid enough to risk crossing the river to attack northern Shaanxi without attacking Taiyuan."
Niu Jinxing stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Yihou's vision has broadened a lot, I think so. The Tatar troops are transferred to the north, probably because they want to take a rotation and rest."
After hearing what Niu Jinxing and Zhang Nai said, Tian Jianxiu also felt that this matter was not important. The most important thing was to defend Taiyuan first.
