Chapter 1051: Knighted

The parade was originally proposed by Chang Yu for three purposes.

First, to revitalize the army's heart and stabilize the people's hearts, second, to strengthen the influence of imperial power, and third, to appreciate merit, is also the most important part.

From the Battle of Taiyuan a few months ago to the Battle of Ningyuan and then to the Battle of King Qinwang of Baoding Mansion, as well as the battle of the Tartars that has just ended, the Ming army participated in the battle with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, traveled thousands of miles from many places, threw their heads and spilled blood, and countless soldiers sacrificed their lives to keep the five northern provinces safe, avoiding the danger of the Ming Dynasty's demise.

How many of these soldiers fought bloodily, those who died in the battle must be dealt with, and those who are alive must be rewarded!

The imperial court couldn't chill their hearts, because the war in the south still needed them to work hard, so Emperor Chongzhen decided to reward these meritorious soldiers with a big amount of money.

Internal and external troubles, the country's misfortune, but fortunately, you have sacrificed your lives to defend the country, I am very grateful, and should be rewarded with meritorious deeds...... Emperor Chongzhen got up and walked to the edge of the general of the Taipei, watched the generals in the audience make a short but sincere speech, and then ordered the eunuch Wang Chengen to read out the list of rewards.

The general was silent in the audience, everyone was listening with their ears sideways, and the reward list was from low to top, and there were ordinary soldiers who fought bravely and were promoted to small flags, general flags, and some middle-level military generals were promoted, among which Yang Zhenwei, the general of the former Datong general Jiang Xuan, was the most.

It made up for the general army of Datong and awarded General Zhenshuo (Xuanfu hanging seal) It can be said that Jiang Jiu's lack is completely overpowered! The value can be compared with Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong in an instant.

The sudden happiness made Yang Zhenwei himself stunned, obviously he didn't expect to upgrade so much, but then he thought of what the little eunuch hinted at him at the beginning, do it well, Jiang Jiu's position is still vacant, and his heart is suddenly grateful.

In fact, you must know that he has been working very hard in the past few months, from Datong to Taiyuan and followed Zhou Yuji to Baoding Mansion to the capital and chased the Qing army south, thousands of miles to work hard and complain, and the little eunuch did not break his promise, and finally pushed it up.

And He Chengxin, who worked as hard as him, was originally just a general, but now he has also been promoted to deputy general, and he has been added to the rank of general of the martial arts, and he is a dignified four-rank general.

For the rest, Zhou Yuji's Qin Songwang, Gao Qi, Huang Degong's subordinate Weng Zhiqi and other eight generals have all been promoted, almost everyone has a share, and everyone has meat to eat.

Even Hao Shaoqi, a surrendered general who had been hanging a vacant post, was awarded General Mingwei, a cavalry captain, and a general by Li Yantong because of his outstanding military achievements.

There is also an unexpected Liu Tichun, who was injured and captured in Taiyuan, at this time his injuries had healed and he was also made a general, and he also listened to orders under Li Yan.

Every time Wang Chenen thinks of someone, the military generals who have been rewarded will go to the stage to thank him, and there will be eunuchs in the audience to give him books, seals and other things.

But these are all appetizers, and the real highlight is how to reward those military bigwigs, such as Wu Sangui, Zhou Yuji, and Huang Degong.

"Li Yan went forward to listen to the order" pointed to Wang Chengen on the stage with a clear roar, and the civil and military forces on both sides of the stage immediately couldn't sit still, lost their bodies and whispered, coming, coming, the highlight is coming.

Li Yan hurriedly came out of the queue and bowed down in front of the stage: "The emperor is safe, minister, Li Yan takes the order."

"The emperor has a decree, Li Yan came to the stage to listen to the seal" Wang Chengen's voice fell, and Wenwu exclaimed in a low voice, it seems that the reward is not small, during the discussion, Li Yan thanked him and hurriedly took the stage, and knelt down in front of Emperor Chongzhen: "Minister, Li Yan knocks to see the emperor."

Emperor Chongzhen sat down in front of him and supported: "Qing is injured, flat" Li Yan bowed and thanked him.

"Li Yan has made meritorious contributions to suppressing bandits, awarded the general military officer seal, added the prince and the prince, and entered the ...... of the Pillar State"

The audience was in an uproar, and at the beginning of the year, he heard that Emperor Chongzhen was a meritorious military general, and he opened a martial arts eight-pillar country in the former dynasty, which was ranked with civil officials.

In the past thousand years, the Zhuguo has been the pinnacle of civil officials, and countless people have dreamed of it, and there are also low-level civil officials in the military ranks, but by the Yuan and Ming dynasties, they have become a false title and most of them are posthumously gifted.

The Wuzhu Kingdom was once brilliant in history, and there were eight great generals of the Pillar Kingdom in the Western Wei Dynasty! It is known as the Eight Pillars Kingdom in history, among which Li Yuan's grandfather and maternal grandfather are among them.

Now, Emperor Chongzhen also wants to make a Ming version of the Eight Great Pillars General!

It's just that no one expected that the first one would be Li Yan, a young man who had only been a few months after the thief army had surrendered to the imperial court. But this young man, after surrendering to Cheng, galloped thousands of miles from Taiyuan to aid Guanwai, and took command during the battle of King Qin in Baoding Mansion, commanded the northern soldiers and horses to fight Li Zicheng to the death, and finally defeated him, blocking the road to the north of the thief army.

Later, he accompanied the little eunuch to the south to pursue the Qing army, and almost all the troops were wiped out in the first battle of Xianghe...... Assisting the little eunuch all the way to strategize and be able to act on his own is a rare handsome talent, and his rewards and punishments are clear, and the military discipline is very strict.

"Minister, thank you" Li Yan trembled with excitement, and when he took the book and the golden seal, he was surrounded by the generals under his command and cheered, and Wu Sangui and other bigwigs also came forward to congratulate him.

Then Zhou Yuji was named to the stage to be sealed, Wenwu held his breath again, everyone knows that he has great achievements, if he is not desperate to hold Taiyuan, I am afraid that the thieves have led dozens of thieves to take the west road to Beijing City, and then it is thousands of miles to help the east to drag Liu Fangliang, in Baoding Mansion Qinwang fought a great effort, as well as the defense of the capital after that, the pursuit of the south, it has always been the main general under the command of Chang Yu.

"Jiazhu country, seal Xibo to build a mansion, and give the imperial gift to build a military memorial arch."

Depend on! The audience immediately blew up again.

Although the pillar country is awesome, it is equivalent to the military attache rank sitting at the highest top, but the Jiajue is the most eye-catching, because it is a glorious lintel blessing for future generations, and a great joy for eternity.

In the Ming Dynasty alone, those princes and uncles in the fiefdom were mostly generals when Taizu founded the country and Chengzu seized power, and in the next few generations, there were almost no knights for military exploits, and most of the people who were awarded were the brothers-in-law and brother-in-law of a certain emperor, and the old father-in-law were all of them with no gold content.

But now Zhou Yuji was knighted, although his military exploits were great, but no one expected him to be knighted, the audience was full of envy, and some people showed their eyes even if they tried to hide it.

You think it's the only one, but it's just the beginning.

followed by Huang Degong, Jiazhu Guo, Prince Taifu, Jing Nanbo (at this time in history, Huang Degong added Jue Jing Nanbo)

, this guy deserves it? When the audience was in an uproar, a few people could no longer control their envy, jealousy and hatred, their eyes were red and they could breathe fire, Wu Sangui was scheming and could still hold back, Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing were already scolding in a low voice.

Of course Huang Degong is worthy!

When the thief army went north, Emperor Chongzhen ordered all the subordinates to be kings, who came?

In addition to the good baby Tang Tong, as for Huang Degong, although he was late in history, this time he came at the right time and became a powerful general under Chang Yu, and his ability did not dare to say that he was the top, but he dared to fight and dared to fight because of this point He has thrown off many big warlords.

"Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Jizhen, listened to the seal, added the pillar country, and sealed Xibo!"

The audience was very abnormal, and many civil and military officials were stunned.

If it is said that Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong were knighted, although it was unexpected, it can be understood, after all, the five northern provinces have been in constant trouble in the past few months, thanks to the two of them to turn the tide, but Tang Tong ...... Although he has military exploits, he is not yet knighted.

So many people were surprised, even Tang Tong himself! With a bewildered expression, Xie En quietly glanced at the little eunuch next to him, and saw Chang Yu smiling at him, and was grateful in his heart, knowing that it was the power of the little eunuch.

The three earls were sealed in one mouth, and Tang Tong, a general whose military exploits were not too significant, made the hundred officials surprised, and the audience was already noisy, but Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the platform, laughing and not saying anything.

In fact, in history, Emperor Chongzhen sealed several earls in one breath before destroying the country, Liu Zeqing, Wu Sangui, etc., were among them, and the purpose was to let others save him.

It's a pity that at that moment, even the feudal marquis is useless, and the gold content is insufficient.

But now it's different, full red gold.

As for the reason why Tang Tong was named Dingxibo, although many civil and military officials couldn't figure it out, Chang Yu and Emperor Chongzhen knew it very well, that is, they were well-behaved and obedient.

What the Ming Dynasty needed most at this time was loyal and obedient people.

Therefore, rewarding Tang Tong also has the meaning of buying horse bones.

Obedient, there is candy to eat.

"Wu Sangui, take the stage to listen to the seal" When there was a noise, Wang Chengen shouted, and the audience was suddenly silent, and everyone looked at Wu Sangui who was walking on stage.

This person is the strongest warlord in the Ming Dynasty at the moment, and a month ago Ning Yuan fought a battle, breaking the dilemma of the Ming Dynasty losing the border war for several years, and its influence and influence are extraordinary.
