Chapter 206 Military Merit
It didn't take long for the battles that took place in the steppe of Saibei and the agreements between Chen Renxi, Cao Wenzhao and others on the one hand and Burhatu and Enkhbayar on the other hand to reach the Jingshi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Emperor Chongzhen, who had already received good news from Dongjiang Town and Rehe Fort one after another, once again received good news from Jinyiwei and Liaodong Town.
For more than half a month, the emperor, who has always been in a good mood, was even more pleasantly surprised.
Regarding the agreement between Chen Renxi, Cao Wenzhao and others and the Karaqin Department and the Kulun Department, the current Emperor Chongzhen of course will not think that they have any overstepping or disrespectful problems, as long as they can handle things well, even if they have unauthorized power, it is completely forgivable.
Including Zuo Guangxian, Lin Chaoen and other generals made the corpse tower Jingguan on the grassland, which did not make him feel cruel or uncomfortable at all, but made him feel happy in his heart.
Maybe he himself is a ruthless and cruel emperor to foreign races, but Zuo Guangxian and Lin Chaoen's actions made him feel a revival of the ancient blood of the Chinese nation.
Repay grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue?!
To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.
Such an act should not only not be suppressed or reprimanded, but should be rewarded heavily.
Many literati and doctors in the Ming Dynasty have overread the books of sages and sages, and even lost their brains, and they always like to stand in the perspective of civilized people or even saints, and use all kinds of seemingly noble and noble moral precepts to tie their hands and feet, completely regardless of what kind of enemy they are facing.
Today's Emperor Chongzhen will not be bound by those rules and precepts, what he wants to do most is to restore the blood and character of the Chinese nation before the Han and Tang dynasties!
And now the three ministers in the Military Aircraft Department are not pedantic people, so soon the Military Aircraft Department has rewarded those who have fought in the Saibei grassland in the name of the imperial court.
Chen Renxi was promoted to another level, and because of his command skills, he was promoted from the original five-grade imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the imperial history of the metropolitan inspection court, and continued to serve as the imperial history of the Liaodong Town Supervisor Army as the imperial history of the metropolitan inspection court.
Lin Maochun, the new deputy chief soldier of Liaodong Town, was also promoted to one level because of his work in planning and scheduling, and was added and awarded the rank of Yizhou General Army, and was actually appointed as the commander of the left road of Liaodong Town with the rank of Yizhou General Army.
Zuo Guangxian, the new general of the Liaodong Town Supervision Army Standard Battalion, was promoted from the rank of general to deputy general because of his meritorious combat service, and at the same time served as the deputy general of the Liaodong Town Supervision Army Standard Battalion, and one of his sons was the hereditary hundred households of Jinyiwei.
Lin Chaoen, the new general of Yizhou of the Left Route Army of Liaodong Town, was promoted to the deputy general of the left road of Liaozhen because of his meritorious service, and his son was the hereditary hundred households of Jinyiwei.
Zhu Jialong, the new Yizhou guerrilla of the left road army of Liaodong Town, was transferred from Yizhou guerrilla to the general of the three towers on the left road of Liaozhen because of his meritorious service in the expedition.
At the same time, according to the "Regulations on the Reward of Military Merits of the Emperor and Ming Dynasty", the meritorious generals below Chen Renxi, Lin Maochun, Zuo Guangxian, and Lin Chaoen were granted 10 acres of arable land outside the border wall of Liaodong, east of the three towers, and north of the Houtun Weiyanchang in Yingzhou, and 500 mu, 300 mu, and 200 mu respectively for the guerrillas on the left road of Liaozhen.
In addition, all Liaozuo soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the expedition with the army will be granted land in the above-mentioned areas according to the size of their merits, the amount of gains and the number of years of military service, and the Liaodong Governor's Office will issue a document certificate, and the field soldiers will not be given any penny during their service.
Using Chongzhen silver dollars to reward meritorious soldiers, although the soldiers who can be exchanged for a moment of happiness, but after all, the silver dollars are used for circulation, and they will be gone as soon as they are spent, and the corresponding rewards and loyalty will disappear.
And no amount of silver dollars will make these Liaodong soldiers feel enough, only the land can make them grateful to Dade.
A considerable part of the 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers in Liaodong Town who have been selected now are not the local military households of Liaodong Town, but the inland troops from the southwest, Huguang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Henan since Wanli.
Although these guest troops are now also part of Liaozhen, they have never caught up with the opportunity to divide fields and land in Liaodong at all, so some of them have been on the border for more than ten years, and they have not been able to settle down and take root in Liaodong.
Because with the fall of a large number of cities in Liaodong, the military generals of Liaodong Town have moved south, behind the Ningjin defense line, the relatively safe Liaoxi corridor, the arable land is very limited, and now it is almost 100% in the hands of the military generals in Liaodong, and a large number of low-level soldiers have no land at all.
The ancestors of China have an old saying, called "Those who have no permanent property have no perseverance".
The land and land behind the Ningjin defense line have long been monopolized by the Jiangmen family in Liaodong, resulting in a large number of low-level soldiers having no land and property, and if such a situation continues, it is impossible to guarantee the long-term peace and stability of Liaodong.
Historically, Yuan Chonghuan's strategy of leveling Liao was to guard the Liao land with the Liao people and raise the Liao people with the Liao land. However, in fact, all he could do was to promote and reuse the Liao generals, and barely managed to defend the Liao land with the Liao people, and as an important support for this strategy, that is, to raise the Liao people with the Liao land, he couldn't do it at all.
Because at that time, more than half of the so-called Liao land fell into the hands of Jianyu, and the rest was controlled by the Liaodong Jiangmen family, and it was impossible to grant land and property to meritorious soldiers, so how to fulfill the promise of raising Liao people with Liao soil? !
Only by rewarding meritorious soldiers with land can we ensure the long-term peace and stability of Liaodong and even the nine borders.
This time, the left side of Liaozhen took this opportunity to cooperate with the Karaqin Division, first destroying the Ao Han Division, and then destroying the Naiman Division, and at the same time, the threat of surrendering the Kulun Division, and the threat of a little closer to the west of the Liaodong border wall has been cleared.
As a result, large tracts of land there are now as safe as the Ningjin Defense Line, or even safer, and its value as arable land is immediately highlighted.
And that piece of land with a radius of thousands of miles is enough to reward the meritorious soldiers on the left side of Liaozhen.
This is the best way for the imperial court to buy the hearts of the military and boost morale.
Since the report of Liaodong Town was jointly signed and submitted by Chen Renxi, the imperial historian of the supervising army, and Lu Shanji, the governor of Liaodong, the emperor also issued a decree to praise Lu Shanji, the governor of Liaodong, for his meritorious work in rectifying the military affairs of Liaozhen and rebuilding Yizhou City.
However, in addition to the recital of Liaodong Town, there is also the recital of Rehebao.
The recital in Liaodong Town was publicly delivered through the post station system and the General Political Envoy Department, while the subsequent recital in Rehe Fort was personally delivered by Niu Juming, a military aircraft resident who is now famous in the north.
As soon as the war on the grassland in Saibei ended, Niu Juming followed Cao Wenzhao and others back to Rehe Fort on the bank of the Wulie River, where he rested for a while, and Qiao Qitai, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and his party, took the first beauty of the grassland, Hari Zhula, who he regarded as a strange commodity, and embarked on a journey back to Beijing.
When Niu Juming left the Beijing Division at the end of August and went to Rehe Fort, he was still a new science and technology scholar who only knew how to talk on paper, and by the beginning of October, it had only been more than a month, and now Niu Juming, a military aircraft houser, had become a poisonous Zhuge who was famous in the grassland!
The name of Poison Zhuge was, of course, the first to be spread among the soldiers of the Wulie Battalion, but it was soon highly recognized by the Ming army of Liaodong Town, who had successfully joined forces in the hometown of the Ao Han Department.
The 2,000-mile detour almost burned to death and killed nearly 10,000 old and weak women and children left behind in the rear of the left flank Horqin, which can not be described as ruthless or poisonous!
However, he was able to offer such a plan as a new science and technology scholar, and he was able to instigate Cao Wenzhao, the envoy of Rehe Town, to obey his words, first make a detour to the rear of Horqin, and then concentrate superior forces to annihilate Bahrain and Weng Niute on the west road of the allied forces, and he could not help but admire his resourceful methods.
So as soon as the name Poison Zhuge came out, it quickly spread.
And after Niu Juming himself heard that he had made such a name, he laughed it off.
He believed that the current Emperor Chongzhen must have a different opinion on what he did.
His idea is not wrong, the current Emperor Chongzhen, of course, will not use moral standards to measure military success or failure, let alone be influenced by the so-called Qingliu gentlemen above the court.
Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with what Niu Juming had done after he arrived at Rehe Fort, and he was even more satisfied than he expected.
The emperor naturally wanted to reward the exploits of Cao Wenzhao, the envoy of Rehe Town, and the Wulie Battalion, and when he saw the battle report that Niu Juming handed in directly through the Military Aircraft Department, he quickly ordered the Military Aircraft Department to invoke the Huangming Military Merit Reward Regulations to reward meritorious service.
Cao Wenzhao, the envoy of Rehe Town, was promoted from the deputy chief soldier of Jizhen to the post of the additional general of Rehe, and at the same time gave Cao Wenzhao the seal of the general of the north left, and the Rehe town guard was transferred from Jizhen to the direct jurisdiction of the Zhili Governor's Office.
From then on, Cao Wenzhao was a genuine general.
In addition, the Military Aircraft Department quickly agreed to the request of the Rehe Town Guard, and included the slave herding camps of Tang Jiuzhou, Li Wanqing, and Bagen in the Wulie Battalion system, and placed them under the command of the Rehe Town Guard, and awarded Tang Jiuzhou, Li Wanqing, and Bagen the rank of military attaché of the Rehe Town Guard Mansion guerrillas.
The guerrilla Cao Bianjiao of the front battalion of the Wulie Battalion, who had repeatedly made meritorious contributions, was promoted to the general of the Wulie Battalion and still led the front battalion.
Cui Zongyin and Li Guoqi were also promoted to the generals of the Wulie Battalion, and still led the left battalion and the right battalion.
Cao Wenzhao's Chinese army commander Zhang Xiushen was promoted to guerrilla, and he was rewarded by Sheng Mingzhi who stayed behind in Rehe Fort.
Correspondingly, in accordance with the Huangming Regulations on Rewarding Military Merit, on both sides of the Wulie River and on both sides of the Luan River, arable land was awarded to the generals of the Wulie Battalion and the meritorious soldiers.
The guerrillas of the Wulie Battalion, including Niu Juming, were all granted 10 hectares of arable land, and the land was granted to the people below the capital division according to the level of their positions, the size of their merits, the number of achievements they made, and the number of years they had served in the army.
