Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

Speaking of this, Zhang Huangyan deliberately paused to let the people of Jiangyin feel how powerful they are.

After hearing what Zhang Huangyan said, the people of Jiangyin were indeed very proud.

Only then did they discover that since the Qing soldiers invaded the south, it was not the Nanming troops who were living on their salaries that caused the biggest losses to the Qing soldiers, but the miserable Jiangyin people like them.

They began to talk spontaneously, and the more they talked, the more proud they were.

Tang Xiaoer smiled and said, "It turns out that the people of Jiangyin are so powerful. I just don't know if there is any reward from the imperial court?"

Drug dealer Xu Junyong said in a low voice, "Tang Dalang, you may become an official this time. You killed a general who is a clear dog. The court will definitely reward you."

"is it?"

Upon hearing that he might become an official, Tang Xiaoer's eyes glowed with yearning.

Zhang Huangyan coughed, stopped the discussion of the people, and then said loudly again,
"Your contributions are not only seen by Emperor Longwu, but also by Dr. Tongtian. Those who make merit will be rewarded! This is a matter of course. Yan Yingyuan accepts the order!"

Yan Yingyuan quickly knelt down on one knee.

"In troubled times, heroes are needed to fight! To turn the tide, you should be promoted exceptionally.

Yan Yingyuan is now appointed as the commander of the capital of Nanzhili, responsible for commanding the troops in the territory of Nanzhili, and fully responsible for the expedition against the Qing bandits! "

WTF?

Except for some ordinary people who didn't know the rank of the commander of the Southern Zhili City, they were very calm, Chen Mingyu Feng Houdun and others almost suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Because the commander of Nanzhili is a senior official of the second rank, equal to the Minister of the Ministry of War!

You must know that the area of ​​Nanzhili in the Ming Dynasty was very large, including the current Jiangsu, Anhui, Shanghai, and some areas in Zhejiang.

Yan Yingyuan was also dumbfounded

According to the words after the meeting, he thought that the court might reward him heavily.

He thought that the imperial court might let him take charge of the Jiangyin Thousand Households Office, and that he would be promoted to Changzhou General Soldier.

He never expected that Zhu Yihai would seal himself a second grade.

This is a high-ranking official.

For Yan Yingyuan, this is no longer a step to the sky, it is a step to the Milky Way.

Yan Yingyuan hurriedly said,
"My lord, Yan is just a worthless predecessor, how can He De take on such a heavy responsibility? I hope His Majesty will reconsider."

Zhang Huangyan said with a smile,

"Lord Yan, don't underestimate yourself. If everything is done according to the rules, how can Han Xin turn from a fugitive into a general who is worshiped by the King of Han?"

Yan Yingyuan wanted to decline, but Zhang Huangyan suddenly said seriously,

"Master Yan, now the Qing soldiers occupy seven or eight out of ten of the world, and Nanzhili is the front line to resist the Qing soldiers. If you don't come to serve as the commander of the capital, let other trash take up this role, they will just wait and surrender ah.

You must not disappoint His Majesty's painstaking efforts. "

Yan Yingyuan was awakened by Zhang Huangyan's words, and immediately said in a deep voice,
"Since Master Supervisor said that he is here at this time, Yan will do his part. Although Yan is not fully sure of repelling the Qing soldiers in Nanzhili territory, he is sure that the Qing soldiers will suffer heavy losses."

Zhang Huangyan said with a smile,

"Your Majesty and Dr. Tongtian both think you can do it."

Next, Zhang Huangyan read Zhu Yihai's award to everyone in Jiangyin.

Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun, Yan Yingyuan's good partners, were appointed as the commander of the capital of Nanzhili, and the senior officials of the second rank.

Wu Juren Wang Gonglue was appointed as the commander of the capital and a senior official of the third rank.

Xu Yong, a scholar with no grades and no grades, was also exceptionally promoted to the prefect of Changzhou.

Even the orphan Tang Xiaoer, because he beheaded Tong Yangzhen, a mighty general of the Qing army, was immediately sealed off by Zhang Huangyan as a military officer with hundreds of households.

The reason why Zhu Yihai didn't separate the Jiangyin gang was also due to future power checks and balances.

Today, the elite soldiers of the Longwu Dynasty are basically all under the command of the Zhongzhen Battalion, which of course does not conform to the essence of power checks and balances.

Zhu Yihai wanted Jiangyin's Sangong to lead Jiangyin's powerful volunteers to gradually build a powerful field army, so that he could check with the Zhongzheng Battalion in the future.

In addition to rewarding Yan Yingyuan and others, Zhu Yihai certainly would not forget to reward the [-] people in Jiangyin City.

Zhang Huangyan stood at the top of the city and told the people of Jiangyin loudly,
"Everyone in Jiangyin, don't you think that today's award is over? You don't think that Emperor Longwu has forgotten your righteous deeds to fight the Qing Dynasty? Of course not.

Without your concerted efforts, Lord Yan, Lord Chen, and Lord Feng would not be able to kill tens of thousands of Qing soldiers even if the overlord is reborn.

So, you also have great merit!

Emperor Longwu originally wanted to reward the elders with some vain money, but now that the imperial court has just been established and the finances are tight, he really can't afford that much money.

Therefore, Emperor Longwu decided to exempt the people of Jiangyin from paying taxes for ten years! "

After Zhang Huangyan finished speaking, all the people in Jiangyin fell silent.

Because they don't believe in such a good thing at all.

They suspect they have heard it wrong.

Although the rewards of Yan Yingyuan and others made the people of Jiangyin excited, they were not jealous either.In the eyes of these common people, the reason why they were able to block the Qing soldiers for more than a month was because of Yan Yingyuan and other leaders.

They don't believe that the imperial court will take the credit of the people of Jiangyin to heart.

Zhang Huangyan thought that the special care policy that would lead to a ten-year tax exemption would make the people of Jiangyin cheer, but unexpectedly, it did not arouse any reaction.

Zhang Huangyan stood on the top of the city in embarrassment, wondering why the people in Jiangyin were so indifferent.

After all, Yan Yingyuan and others are used to being petty officials, and they know that the common people don't believe that there is such a great thing as being exempt from taxes for ten years.

Yan Yingyuan quickly stood up and said loudly,

"Dear elders, Emperor Longwu gave us Jiangyin people tax exemption for ten years. That is to say, within ten years, Jiangyin people don't need to pay any taxes! Don't you thank Emperor Longwu?"

Only then did the people of Jiangyin realize that it was not that they had heard it wrong, but that the imperial court had really brought great benefits to the people of Jiangyin.

For a while, the common people knelt on the ground and thanked Emperor Longwu loudly for his kindness.Some even wept with joy.

Free tax for ten years!
With this ten-year tax-free period, the people of Jiangyin will definitely be able to live a good life.

After Zhang Huangyan read out all the rewards that the imperial court had given to Jiangyin City, he ordered Liu Liangzuo, who had been tied up by five flowers, to be escorted to the top of the city, tied to a flagpole, and sentenced to Lingchi to commemorate the hundreds of thousands of people killed by Liu Liangzuo.

Then everyone moved to the military camp outside the city and began to discuss the migration of Jiangyin people.

According to Zhu Yihai's idea, the people of Jiangyin had better move overnight.

After all, Jiangyin is only three hundred miles away from Jinling, and the Qing soldiers will definitely attack this place continuously.

If the people in Jiangyin do not move, they will be killed by the Qing soldiers sooner or later.

Zhang Huangyan and Li Laiheng also believe that Jiangyin cannot be guarded for a long time.

Yan Yingyuan expressed a different opinion.

Yan Yingyuan said in a deep voice,
"Master Zhang, I don't think we should abandon Jiangyin. We should use Songjiang, Suzhou, Huzhou, Jiangyin as our base, and Taihu Lake as our waters. We should station [-] troops here, directly threatening Qinggou's Jinling Mansion.

Once we have established a foundation in this area, Qinggou will not dare to let go to attack other places.

They can only send heavy troops to start a tug-of-war with us around Taihu Lake.

Taihu Lake is a land of water and rice, with abundant products and rich people. If we abandon it, we will only be looted by the Qing soldiers.

In that case, the Qing soldiers would get more money and food.

Our battles will also be harder to fight. "
