Chapter 80: Mobile Phone Debut (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Imperial City, Imperial Palace.
"Xuanzu Qiu Qing enters the palace!"
"Xuanzu Qiu Qing enters the palace!"
The sound from the Huangji Hall to the Huangji Gate came to Zu Qiuqing's ears from afar, and Zu Qiuqing was a little in a trance, and he walked for half a month from Shanhaiguan holding nearly eight hundred and eight banner captives.
I didn't arrive in the capital until last night, and the last time I came to Gyeonggi was when Lord Liu was recruiting soldiers, and he was still a deserter and fugitive at that time.
But now he has not only officially become the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, but also killed nearly 100 enemies in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, washed away the shame brought to him by his father's birthday, and now he is going to be summoned by the emperor.
After sighing at the vagaries of life, Zu Qiuqing shook his somewhat messy head and walked towards the Imperial Palace.
"Ancestor Qiu Qing knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zu Qiu Qing saluted.
"Zu Aiqing, please get up!" Chongzhen looked very happy, he had already received a report from Liu Hongjian a few days ago that the Jinyi Wei was urgently attacked, and learned that the border army had defeated Jiannu in the Battle of Shanhaiguan.
"Your Majesty, the ministers came to Beijing to hand over prisoners on the orders of An Guobo and Shanhaiguan General Liu Daren, and this time in a battle with Jiannu Shanhaiguan, my Ming border army killed a total of 8,866 people.
A total of more than 24,000 Manchurian and Mongolian Khan Eight Banners were killed, 2,674 Han Eight Banners were captured, and 788 Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners were captured. ”
Zu Qiuqing's words were concise and sonorous, and he bowed and retreated after speaking.
This is a big victory, since the death of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, the war between Daming and Jiannu was basically crushed, and they could only barely survive by guarding the Great Wall.
"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty has been unbearable for decades, this is a big victory, the emperor should reward the border soldiers to comfort the emperor!"
Li Banghua, the secretary of the military department, was the first to kneel down and speak, he was the bridgehead of the front-line soldiers, and as the secretary of the military department, he should invite credit for the soldiers on the bloody battlefield on the front line.
"Long live my emperor!" The ministers immediately knelt down, most of them had just gotten the news, and they couldn't digest it for a while, but it didn't hurt to compliment the emperor.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat, Wang Chengen declares his will!" Chongzhen, who had already learned the results of the Shanhaiguan battle, stood up and motioned for Wang Chengen to announce the decree.
"Fengtian carried the emperor, the system said, Shanhaiguan general soldier, An Guobo Liu Hong gradually in danger of being ordered, went to the border pass, killed traitors, killed tens of thousands of enemies, raised my Ming national prestige, rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, Shanhaiguan general Wang Yuanba commanded the troops in a good way, promoted to the deputy chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, rewarded 1,000 taels of silver, and enshrined Wang Yuanba as Pingyubo, and received iron coupons.
In addition, Shanhaiguan guerrilla Tang Feng, Xiang Xiong fought bravely, promoted the two to the rank of general, and named Tang Feng as a viscount, with a reward of five hundred taels of silver!
Long Live Mountain Thousand Households Deputy Thousand Households Chang Yu Feng Viscount, reward five hundred taels of silver......
The ancestors of the hundred households hated the viscount and rewarded five hundred taels of silver......
Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Feng Dunhou, Wang Lang, Xing Shan, and Yue Chengze were named barons, and the reward was three hundred taels of silver...... Chin this! ”
In Shanhaiguan, Liu Hong gradually had the power to kill and kill, and even promoted Wang Yuanba to the position of deputy commander-in-chief, but in the end, he still had to report to the imperial court to go through the process.
However, Wang Chengen retreated after reciting the holy decree, and the court instantly exploded.
Eleven titles were given in a war, although they were all only for life, but there were no viscounts and barons in the Ming Dynasty, and it took a few seconds after the holy decree was read out that the ministers below reacted.
"The emperor must not, the border pass won the battle, Weichen should be happy for the emperor, but not to mention whether this war report is true, the emperor rewarded eleven titles at a time, and the reward was too much.
And my dynasty has deposed the viscount and baron since the founding of the country, the emperor's move violates the ancestral system, and the emperor is asked to think twice! ”
Jiang Dejing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said that although he didn't know why the emperor had such an abnormal behavior, as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he had to advise such a reward that violated the ancestral system.
"Jiang Aiqing, Hugh wants to talk to me about the ancestral system again, the Ming Dynasty is going to die, the ancestral system, the ancestral system, the ancestral system, can the ancestral system allow me to defeat the Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty? Can the ancestral system allow the domestic rogue to subdue the law?
Since Emperor Taizu Gao succeeded to the throne, our dynasty has always had the ancestral system of greedy sixty taels of skinning and filling grass, why didn't you mention it? ”
Chongzhen was not angry, he knew that this move would be opposed by the courtiers, in fact, the idea of restarting the old system of viscounts and barons was gradually mentioned by Liu Hong, and Liu Hongjian gave Chongzhen a detailed explanation in the battle report of Shanhaiguan.
Now the internal and external troubles are the use of soldiers, the imperial court should face up to the status of the generals, the imperial court has always emphasized literature and light on military force, whether it is a literati or the common people are ashamed of enlistment, the military generals see the civil servants automatically lower than half a level.
The Chengping era is nothing, but now the war is endless, if you don't want to improve the combat enthusiasm and sense of honor of the border soldiers, how to defeat the rebellious Tartar?
Moreover, whether it is an earl or a viscount, it is a lifelong system, and there is no fief, just an extra salary, but it can greatly improve the morale of the soldiers at the border and give them a hope.
Let them know that their bloody battle can be rewarded, Da Ming will not let them forget their merits, and the emperor is also paying attention to them.
Chongzhen thought deeply about this, so he had the holy decree just now.
Jiang Dejing was speechless when asked three questions in a row, but he still knelt on the ground and refused to get up, as if he was going to die.
"Wechen seconded the proposal, and Wechen also felt that the battle report of the border army was suspected of falsely reporting the military situation, and I hope that the emperor will think twice, and go to investigate and make a decision!"
"Weichen seconded!" The imperial historian in the rear responded to Jiang Dejing.
"Your Majesty, the front-line soldiers fought bloodily to achieve such results, and the hearts of the soldiers must not be chilled!
Among the more than 700 prisoners of war brought by this ancestral enemy Qing general, there is also a prince of Jiannu, as well as Kong Youde, a rebel general of our dynasty, Weichen thinks that this battle report should be true! ”
Although Li Banghua and Liu Hong have gradually become friends, he is stubborn and has always only looked at the real evidence, and this unprecedented speaking for the border army is also very interesting.
Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department, also agreed with Li Banghua's opinion and went out to second, but there were still many officials who were skeptical of the war report, and Chongzhen's face was also a little unsightly.
"Your Majesty, the chief soldier expected that there would be ministers in the court who doubted the reality of the battle of Shanhaiguan, and specially ordered the ministers to bring tokens!"
Although Zu Qiuqing was resentful of these ministers who questioned the bloody results of the border army, he also knew that in this court, force could not solve any problems, but would be true.
Fortunately, the chief soldier is like a god, and Zu Qiuqing thinks in his heart.
"Oh? Submit it quickly! Chongzhen said.
So, Zu Qiuqing took out a thing wrapped in a brocade from his waist and handed it to Wang Chengen, who opened the cloth bag and found that it was covered with something he had never seen before.
This object is rectangular in shape, not gold or wood, and the front is so smooth that it can even be reflected in the face.
Wang Chengen looked back and forth and didn't see any name, and after making sure that this thing was not in danger, he handed it to Chongzhen in confusion.
Chongzhen was also confused, what does Liu Aiqing mean, how can such a strange thing be a token when he gives it to me?
Chongzhen's face was cloudy, and he put the strange thing on the throne and looked at Zu Qiuqing.
"Your Majesty, the name of this thing is a mobile phone, it is the beloved thing of the chief soldier, which records the details of the Shanhaiguan battle, ordinary people will not make it, and Weichen has also been taught by the general soldier for a long time, and Weichen will show it to the emperor!"
Seeing Chongzhen's puzzled face, Zu Qiuqing hurriedly gave up!
