After returning to the Forbidden City from Juyong Pass, Emperor Chongzhen thought about convening the important ministers of the court to discuss the issue of rewarding those meritorious civil and military officials after the victory of this war.

However, in the end, because of various things in the court at the end of the year, it was pushed back and forth, until the turn of the year, the time had entered February, and the issue of the reward was still not finalized.

The monetary rewards have been distributed one after another during the Chinese New Year.

Now there are three mints under the Baoyuan General Bureau, as well as the head office of the Huangming Jingshi Bank in Beijing and the branches of the Huangming Jingshi Bank in Nanjing and Taiyuan, and the problem of the shipment and distribution of the Chongzhen silver yuan as a reward is no longer a serious problem that plagues the imperial court.

Whether it is the south, the northwest, or the army in the eastern direction of Liaodong, the imperial court's will to reward gold and silver or distribute military salaries, at most, within two months, the garrison supervising the army and the imperial history or the deputy envoys of the supervising army stationed in various parts of the world will be able to get the imperial court's reward or military salary.

Now that they have it in their hands, most of them are silver yuan tickets, and only the garrisons in those extremely remote areas will directly distribute silver yuan or grain to them.

The benefits of this are clear.

First, the transshipment of gold and silver itself takes a long time, while it is much more convenient and faster to carry silver yuan bills issued by the World Bank.

Doing so is not only beneficial to the imperial court, but also beneficial to the imperial history of the town supervisors, as well as to the soldiers in the town army.

Second, as long as the imperial court clearly states that the gold and silver seized in this war will be handed over to the Jingshi Bank for issuance, then the household department and the Jingshi Bank can first distribute the silver yuan bills or the actual Chongzhen silver yuan to the border troops of each town, without waiting for the gold and silver to really arrive.

In addition to this, there are many benefits that cannot be detailed one by one.

Of course, after the end of this war, the reward of gold and silver is only secondary, and the most important thing is the issue of military merit reward.

In particular, the issue of military merit knighthood, which seems to have formed a habitual concern, has been of great concern to the whole court, but no plan has been come up.

It's not that Emperor Chongzhen is not in a hurry, or that the civil and military ministers in the court are indifferent to this, but as the final battle of this big war, the curtain has not yet come to an end.

The two cabinet ministers and ministers of military aircraft were still leading the army to fight far away from Beijing.

One led the army of various tribes in Ulan Hada and waited for the remnants of Jianyu to ambush and return to Liaodong.

The other led a large number of elite Ming troops to brave the wind and snow and the severe cold, and crossed the Yellow River to the south of the Hetao to the west, looking for a decisive battle.

Before the news from these two directions finally comes back, no one can decide on the final reward.

Even Emperor Chongzhen already had a general idea in his heart, but at this time, he had no way to determine it.

Because you have set a reward based on the battle report that you have learned so far, then if the next battle report is bad news, isn't it self-defeating, waiting to be slapped in the face?

Fortunately, these two ministers of military aircraft did not let Emperor Chongzhen wait any longer.

On February 22, the third year of Chongzhen, Fan Yongdou, Fan Yongkui, Fan Sanba, and Wang Dengku and other traitors, after suffering three days and 3,600 knives each, each person's body was cut by the executioners of the Criminal Department to only a white miserable, bloody skeleton, floating in the cold wind.

It's like a sheep or a dog hanging in the market, which has been sold out of meat one by one, and in the end only a skeleton remains.

Only the heads that have been deliberately preserved can still see who they really are.

At this point, their heads were also cut off, and Xu Duzhong, the new Jinyi Wei Datong Qianhu Qianhu, with a group of selected Jinyi Wei people, was sent to Zhangjiakou and Dushikou in Xuanfu, as well as Datong's victory and killing Hukou and other places to show the public.

In addition to the task of taking these heads to show the public, Xu Qianzhong also brought several emperor's wills, one for Fan Fucui, the governor of Datong, one for Li Yangchong, the governor of Xuanfu, and one for Zhang Xiao, the governor of Shanxi.

The content of these three holy decrees is exactly the same, that is, to erect monuments in Zhangjiakou, Datong and Taiyuan to record the traitorous crimes of Fan Yongdou and other sixteen Jin merchants who betrayed the country.

Every place should erect a traitor monument on the local thoroughfare to publicize the traitorous crimes of these people to the world and warn future generations.

Xu Qianzhong is nearly 30 years old and is the eldest son of Xu Chengming, the chief military officer of Guizhou.

Because of Xu Chengming's contribution in the early stage of the rebellion in Shuixi, Xu Quanzhong was added to the 100 households of Jinyi Weibei Town.

After the Shuixi Rebellion was pacified, Zhu Xieyuan was named Marquis of Jingnan, Qin Liangyu was named Marquis of Zhongwu, and Hou Liangzhu, who was also the chief military officer, was also named Dingyi Bo, and Xu Chengming, who had about the same credit, did not get the title.

So Emperor Chongzhen promoted Xu Duzhong, who had just gone to serve as the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, to a thousand households, which was a little comfort to Xu Chengming.

Jinyi Wei Qianhu seems to have a large official position, but for Xu Qianzhong, if it is not the thousand households sealed by the emperor himself, it is actually nothing.

Because he was born in a family of Weisuo, since he was born, he has been the hereditary commander of Guizhou Metropolitan Siwei Qingwei, and the commander is not much higher than Qianhu.

The reason why this hereditary commander of Wei Qingwei does not seem to be as powerful as Jinyiwei Qianhu is because Jinyiwei is the emperor's pro-army, and those who can be thousands of households in it are the emperor's absolute henchmen.

Now the reason why Emperor Chongzhen is relieved to promote Xu to become famous is precisely because of Xu's loyalty to Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming court in the original history.

This time, Zu Dashou's son Zu Zerun, in the position of Jinyi Wei Datong Thousand Households, made such a big mistake, naturally he couldn't stay in Datong anymore.

After Emperor Chongzhen left Juyongguan and returned to Beijing, he had already sent someone to order the dismissal of Zu Zerun's Jinyi Wei Datong Qianhu Qianhu, so that he would enter the Beijing Division to study in the country after the year.

Now Zu Zerun has honestly come to Jingshi, entered the upper house of the Guozijian, and became classmates with Li Li, the prince of Ayahara, from North Korea, and others, and the candidate to replace him is Xu Qianzhong, a person who has nothing to do with the towns in the nine borders.

It was also when Xu Qianzhong took the heads of Fan Yongdou and other traitors, left Jingshi through Desheng Gate, and went to the direction of Xuanfu Datong, outside the Desheng Gate of Jingshi, he saw a team carrying a red flag to transmit military information, and they were running quickly.

The leader of this team is Zu Keyong, who is famous for his bravery in Zu Dashou's army, but Xu Qianzhong doesn't know him.

But Zu Keyong's loud shouting while holding his token high and galloping his horse reached his ears unusually clearly.

"Hetao victory! The official army regains the Loop! A great victory in the Loop! The official army regains the Loop! ”

By the evening of the same day, the news of the official army's recapture of Hetao had spread to almost every corner of the Beijing Division, and even in the Huangming Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall in Tongzhou City, they all remembered the shouts of cheering long live and celebrating victory!

It has been more than 100 years since the Ming Dynasty completely lost the land of the Hetao, and there have been many famous ministers and generals who have thought of recovering the Hetao, but unfortunately, none of them have been able to persevere to the end, and they have always failed for one reason or another.

The recovery of the Hetao, for many years, has been a piece of the heart of the Ming Dynasty's civil and military ministers, and has even become a symbolic symbol of the Ming Dynasty's prosperity.

Although it has been more than 100 years since the loss of the Hetao, time has passed, and many courtiers of the Sixth Department of the Fifth Army have forgotten that piece of land, and many people have given up that idea, but whenever they want to cheer up, make a difference, and need to make a grand wish, they will always look to the northwest and think of Hetao.

Therefore, when Zu Keyong held the token and rode a fast horse, galloped into the city, and shouted the great victory of the Hetao along the way, the subjects and people in the Jingshi City were even more happy than when they heard that the emperor led the army to defeat the invading enemy at Juyong Pass!

The same rejoicing, of course, is Emperor Chongzhen in the Forbidden City.

Although after learning that Huang Taiji led the remaining army of Jianlu to break through and evacuate Guihua City, Emperor Chongzhen knew that it was only a matter of time before the Hetao area was restored, but when the news was really sent back by Li Banghua to report the victory, he still felt sincerely happy when the news was really sent back to report the victory.
