At the beginning of November of the 14th year of orthodoxy, Yexian finally led the remnants of the army back to Saibei, so far, martial law in the capital was lifted, and the Ming court won a complete victory in this defensive battle.
After this battle, the prestige and status of the new monarch Zhu Qiyu have been greatly enhanced and consolidated, and Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, is regarded as the "important weapon of the country", as for Ji Ling, Shi Heng, Zhu Yi and others, they are naturally praised in the court for their outstanding achievements.
In this case, it is naturally indispensable to reward meritorious deeds, first of all, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was crowned as the crown prince Shaobao, which is not because Zhu Qiyu is stingy, but because Yu Qian resolutely resigned from the heavier reward.
In order to make up for it, Zhu Qiyu granted Yu Qian the power of military affairs, and at the same time complained to him in private, saying that "there is no one in the court, and it is difficult for the Governor's Mansion to take on important responsibilities at present, so it can only be presided over by Shaobao."
Yu Qian also understood that what Zhu Qiyu said was not a lie, because almost half of the people who were in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies had died, so he accepted the power granted to him by Zhu Qiyu.
But Zhu Qiyu didn't expect that his inadvertent delegation of power would have an impact on the changes in the Governor's Mansion and the Military Department in the future.
Of course, at present, it is only because the military department in charge of Qian has temporarily taken over the country's military plan, but Ji Ling, Shi Heng and others, who are military generals, have not been suppressed or abandoned because of this, on the contrary, they have all received high rewards.
Shi Heng, who is no longer confused, has gained the most benefits in this war: he was awarded the title of Wu Qingbo for his merits, and he has been promoted to the governor of the right capital and in charge of the five military camps, so he can be said to be the hottest figure in the army at present.
As for Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, because he was already a marquis and did not have much credit for neutrality in this war, he only added the official title of a prince and Taibao, and at the same time still served as the governor of the left capital, and was in charge of the affairs of the military capital.
However, Chen Mao is an old man, he knows that he is in his prime, and his official career is basically coming to an end, if he is not greedy enough, he will inevitably be hated by others, so it is better to take the opportunity to abdicate and make way for Xian, so as to accumulate some political capital.
Therefore, he took the initiative to say that he was not in good health and it was difficult to take charge of the military, and at the same time suggested that all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion should be handed over to Shi Heng and others, and Shi Hengjin would be enshrined as a waiter, and he would just put on his name.
Of course, Shi Heng could see that Chen Mao was deliberately showing favor, so he and he exchanged praise, Shi Heng, Wu Qingbo, became Wu Qinghou again, so far all the abacus have been achieved, and they are all happy.
Shi Heng was named "Marquis of Wuqing", and his nephew Shi Biao naturally followed with honor, and was promoted from a small commander to the commander of the capital, and he was also a proper member of the three grades.
Zhu Yi also made a lot of meritorious contributions, but because his father Zhu Yong's defeat of Harrier Ridge, he only inherited the title of "Chengguo Gong", and then there was no reward.
Of course, this was also requested by Zhu Yi himself, because he hoped to exchange his credit for an opportunity to correct his father's name.
Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian were both grateful for their loyalty and filial piety, and the delay and interference of Liu Seng in the prison army gradually became clear, so the court recognized the merits of his father Zhu Yong, and posthumously named his father "King of Pingyin", nicknamed "Wushu".
Of course, the most enviable thing is Ji Ling, although he was only named "Loyal and Brave Uncle", and he was also the governor of the Chinese Army, and he was in charge of the 3,000 battalions, but he was only twenty-one years old!
Even Shi Heng, who was privately said to have stepped on shit luck, it took more than ten years to get to where he is today, thinking that when he was twenty-one years old, he had just inherited his father's small official position, and he was thinking about how to make meritorious contributions and promotions every day!
According to this, Ji Ling should have been walking on shit every day for the past 20 years......
As for other people's rewards, it seems that they are not so careful, for example, Liu An, who guarded Chaoyangmen this time, only sentenced a "merit and demerit offset", and the treatment of restoring the title of "Count Guangning" is equivalent to such a big chase is a waste of work.
Ji Ling's father, Ji Guang, was finally promoted and became the governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion, but he still had to let his son take care of it, and he didn't have a title......
Zhang Fu's second brother Zhang Hui and third brother Zhang Hui were promoted to the right governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion and the right governor of the former Military Governor's Mansion respectively, and their sons Zhang Jin and Zhang Bin respectively did an experience under their fathers, well, indignant......
Yang Hong, the chief officer and soldier, was named the Marquis of Changping and continued to guard the Xuanfu.
But Yang Hong knew in his heart that judging from the defeat of the civil fort, he could be regarded as "offsetting his merits and demerits" at most.
The court did this just to show favor to himself, so that he could guard the border with peace of mind, after all, there are not many available people in the court now, so he is more and more cautious while thanking him.
As for his only son, Yang Jun, who was seriously injured because of his heroic battle while pursuing the enemy, he no longer cared about his crime of losing the city, and was directly transferred to the capital to recuperate from his injuries, and at the same time was promoted to the governor of the right army, and participated in the assistant management of the Shenji battalion.
In the eyes of outsiders, this reward is very high, but Yang Hong understands that the imperial court is doing this only because of his own status, and he also transferred his son Yang Jun to the capital to recuperate, which can be seen in his heart.
But what can I do?
There is simply nothing you can do about it!
I can only hope that my son Yang Jun can gain a foothold in the capital!
Luo Hengxin, who had always adhered to the Xuanfu, was promoted to the left deputy capital of the imperial history and entered the third rank of the senior officer, while Zhu Qian was promoted to the right governor and served as the chief military officer to assist Yang Hong in guarding the Xuanfu.
Guo Deng was promoted to the chief officer and soldier of Datong as he wished, and acted in charge of various military affairs in Datong, which of course he deserved.
A big war that began in mid-July of the fourteenth year of orthodoxy lasted until the beginning of November, many heroes were killed, and at the same time new heroes rose in the process, but there were too few new heroes to make up for the losses caused by the many heroes who died, so the trust in the emperor Zhu Qiyu was only like grasping a life-saving straw, and he hugged Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department.
In this process, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, saw Shi Heng and Ji Ling, but his eyes were more focused on the vast group of civilian officials behind him.
The chaos in the country will never stop, and he needs a lot of capable assistants, so just Shi Heng, Ji Ling, and Zhu Yi are not enough!
However, he still has to rely on these people now, because as soon as the defense of the capital ended, there was chaos in the south, which was a mess left by Deng Maoqi and other rebels before: although Deng Maoqi died, his subordinates were still active......
