Chapter 128: On Meritorious Deeds


Zuo Guangming said: "Foolish brother is short-sighted, please give me some advice."

Zuo Guangdou smiled and said: "When we come to be officials, we are not like those who come from poor families and just want to make a few money.

Our family already has enough money for expenses, and we just want to realize some of our own ideas.

What the emperor calls Ideal.

Naturally, if the official becomes bigger, he can do more for the country and the people.

The holy will cannot be speculated at will, but the things of the past can be used as a lesson."

"It's also empty talk about forming a party.

Why is my brother here to control the river?

Yang Lian became the minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, while Sun Shenxing, Wang Ji and Zhao Nanxing could only go home to take care of themselves.

It's because we can do practical things.

The Xu Ge Department does not interfere with the national interests.

In the struggle, he is upright and works hard.

This is in line with the emperor's likes and dislikes, and he will naturally be reused.

Brother Yu can manage water conservancy in this life, and his wish is fulfilled.

Guangming remembers today's words as a brother, and will make progress in the future. ” Zuo Guangming bowed his head and said, "Thank you, third brother, for the tip.

I will remember it, brother Yu."

The Second Division of the Guards, led by Zhao Lijiao, set out from Shanhaiguan and settled on Juehua Island.

The Zhou Yuji Division of the Sixth Division stationed on Juehua Island set off by land and came to Hetuala to take over the first and fifth divisions.

The Fifth Division went to Qinghe to station.

This was different from the original Liaodong with Liaoyang and Shenyang as the center point.

Qinghe was very close to the Mongols.

Even with the mobility of the infantry, it could attack the general account of the Mongolian Horqin tribe within three days. .

Horqin was shocked and sent someone to ask Mangui.

Mangui said: "On the order of our emperor, we are stationed here to prevent the Jurchens from resurrecting in Jianzhou."

The army of Jianzhou has been disbanded, and most of the Jurchen men in Jianzhou are either leveling land in the interior or opening up wasteland in Hetuala.

How stupid Mongolians would believe this.

Horqin had no choice but to ask Lin Danhan for help, and Lin Danhan sent someone to question Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong said: "The Great Khan has always been worried about the rebellion of the Mongolian tribes in the east.

Now we, the Ming Dynasty, have stationed troops in Qinghe to help the Great Khan stabilize Mongolia on the left.

Horqin's objection is justified.

Why does the Great Khan also think this is a bad thing?"

Lin Danhan thought, yes.

Left-wing Mongolia has always been close to Jianzhou.

Now that Jianzhou has been destroyed, it is a good time to gather left-wing Mongolia.

If there is a threat from the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be better to make left-wing Mongolia return to Chahar?

So he sent someone to comfort Horqin, saying that the Ming garrison was to prevent some Mongolians from running to the original Jianzhou ground.

As long as the Mongols did not cross the border, there was no need to worry about the Ming army provoking a war.

After Zhao led his troops to lay down two battalions of troops on Juehua Island, the entire army was dispatched to live in Guangning.

He chose Zhenyi Fort as the base of the Second Division, which was also an area close to the Mongols.

Because there was a precedent of Horqin's petition, the Mongols here no longer complained to Lin Dan Khan, but withdrew their camps and stayed with the Ming army. distance.

Lu Xiangsheng's first division returned to Shanhaiguan.

After settling the troops, Lu Xiangsheng waited for another half month.

After Mangui also arrived, the two returned to the capital together.

The emperor ordered the east gate to be opened wide, and he led his ministers to greet him five miles outside the city gate.

When Lu Xiang Sheng Mangui and his personal guards were fifty miles away from the city, two riders came with flags and sang on their horses: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally welcomes the warriors who destroyed the country, and specially ordered the imperial guards to come and lead the way."

Along the way, the cavalry of the Jinyi Guards kept coming.

When they arrived at the triumphal pavilion outside the city gate, there were already six pairs of twelve Jinyi Guards clearing the way in front.

Lu Xiangsheng Mangui dismounted two miles away from the pavilion, walked to the pavilion, and knelt down in front of the emperor's ceremonial guard.

He shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, Jiannu has been destroyed."

Zhu Youxiao walked out quickly, helped Lu Xiangsheng up and said, "Brother Xiaotian, please get up, thank you for your hard work."

He then helped Man Gui up and said, "General Qianyi, please get up, thank you for your hard work."

The two said in unison: "Serving your Majesty and being loyal to the Ming Dynasty is my duty as a minister.

I don't dare to take it as hard work."

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "After five years of hard work, the rebellion was finally quelled.

You have contributed a lot to your family.

Now it's time to reward according to your merits."

Wang Tiqian came out with the imperial edict and said: "Lu Xiangsheng listens to the edict."

Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly knelt down and listened to Wang Tiqian's words: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: In the second year of Tianqi's reign, Lu Xiangsheng visited Huahua and annihilated Jiannu.

He had outstanding achievements and was named the Yixing Marquis of Fengtian Yiyun Pushing Sincerity and Proclaiming Forces.

I admire this."

Fengtian Yiyun Tuicheng is the third-class title, preceded by the first-class founding assistant Yun Tuicheng when the Ming Dynasty was founded, and later the second-class Fengtian Jingnan Tuicheng when Zhu Di was in trouble.

If you are not given an iron certificate, you will be a wandering nobility, which cannot be hereditary and replaceable, but it is already the highest level of marquis that can be granted now.

After Lu Xiangsheng thanked him for his kindness, Wang Tiqian took out another imperial edict and said: "Mangui listens to the edict."

"Flying to Heaven, the Emperor issued an edict: Commander Man Gui of the Fifth Division of the Guards, who went on an expedition to the Japanese country and wiped out the Japanese slaves, has made outstanding achievements.

He has been named Fengtian Yiyun, sincerely Xuanli, Wuchenfu Yibo.

I admire this."

Yixing is the hometown county seat of Lu Xiangsheng, and Fuyi is the original county seat of Mangui.

This kind of sealing law is inconsistent with the original sealing law of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youxiao decided that future sealing laws will be carried out according to this.

The emperor is the greatest, and naturally the ministers will not oppose the emperor in this regard.

The titles of the Ming Dynasty were all super-grade, that is to say, even if you were a first-grade official, when you saw Man Gui, a third-class Earl, you had to bow first.

The Ming Dynasty has not granted titles of different surnames for many years, only the original hereditary and replaceable duke Earl.

Now that the emperor has begun to confer nobility, this is a signal to civil servants and a signal that the emperor will pay attention to military commanders.

The civil servants were not very happy, but there was nothing they could do.

Whether it is to quell the White Lotus Rebellion or to wipe out the southwest, to the current eradication of the slaves, military commanders must contribute.

However, Lu Xiangsheng's title was welcomed by civil servants, because Lu Xiangsheng was essentially a civil servant.

In addition to Lu Xiangsheng and Man Gui, other chief officers of the Guards were also knighted.

Among them, Lu Qin was named Marquis of Changqing, Zhao Lijiao was named Jinglubo, Zhou Yuji was named Suining Bo, and Cao Wenzhao was named Datong Bo.

As for the Yang brothers, they are royal relatives and already have titles, so they will no longer be titled.

Two generals who were not members of the Guards were also knighted.

Shen Yourong was named Marquis Jinghai, and Qin Liangyu was named Uncle Zhongzhen.

Shen Yourong was ennobled as a reward for his contribution to the Korean War, while Qin Liangyu was ennobled for his contribution to pacifying the Southwest.

Shen Yourong is already old, and this title, which cannot be hereditary, is more like an honor.

Qin Liangyu's knighthood is of much greater significance.

She is a woman, and she is a Yi nationality.

She is a Han, but her husband is a chieftain and is regarded as a Yi.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty looked down on her.

Now that she is named a superior count, she is very proud.

Although she didn't want to show off her power in front of her colleagues, it was always a good thing for her contribution to be recognized and for others to no longer look down upon her
