Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 430
However, not everyone agrees. I saw Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department, come out and play to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, when a military household serves as a soldier to fight, it is their job to eat this bowl of rice. If you die in battle, , the court pension is already rich, as long as the distribution is supervised, why do you need to enter this... memorial hall, and you will be exempted from hard labor, and you will be invincible when you see an official?"

Wang Chengen had obviously guessed what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking, plus the group of eunuchs would naturally not stand on the same front against civil officials, so he immediately objected: "Then let me ask you, you scholars read the way of sages and serve the country faithfully, Is it the right way to die for the country? However, not to mention anything else, how many people just took refuge in Jianlu? Not to mention, just Hong Chengchou, what should I say? Those soldiers who died in battle, no matter what Is the rank of the military more worthy of praise than that of Hong Chengchou?"

Ni Yuanlu was dumbfounded, but Wang Chengen seemed to be excited, so he continued to shout at him: "What's more, there are so many officials who appear to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but are actually corrupt and harm the people. Your Excellency, you must not have forgotten, right? And if Hai Rui is such an upright official, he only did what he was supposed to do, wouldn't he be commended? The military households who died in battle also did what they were supposed to do. Long Live God wants to commend them , isn’t it a reason?”

When Ni Yuanlu heard this, she couldn't help showing shame.

The shutdown of all yamen last year was actually considered to be more or less a share of all officials.However, if you want to say that all officials do illegal things intentionally, it is actually not easy to say that.The main reason is that the social atmosphere in the late Ming Dynasty was like this. If you don't participate, you will be excluded by everyone.Because of this, someone like Hai Rui is really rare in the world!

However, if it's just a matter of duty, it's normal to be like Hai Rui!However, how many people can really do it just for this job?Using Hai Rui as a comparison, those soldiers who died in battle were the same as Hai Rui, so it is self-evident whether they should be commended or not!
Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with what he heard. This big companion was just for taking advantage of him. Seeing that Ni Yuanlu was speechless, he opened his mouth and said, "What the big companion said is very much in line with my wishes. What else can you say?"

If Hai Rui was here, he would have the confidence to object.However, the people present are all people who have been stained, so how can they have the confidence to object?
Therefore, these people in the Wenhua Palace finally agreed to Emperor Chongzhen's request.

In this way, it can be foreseen that the status of the military households will inevitably be improved, and it will even affect the matter of the civil and military in the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps in a short period of time, civilian officials will still suppress military generals, but among the people, at least the status of military households will be improved, and the families of soldiers who died in battle will be able to get benefits like fame and fame.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Emperor Chongzhen once again announced: "Those who take the initiative to surrender to the enemy, endanger the Ming Dynasty, or lead the rebellion are unforgivable crimes. In addition, those who have performed meritorious service and will be punished according to the degree of merit .The Ministry of Punishment should write the world and end the war as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment had no opinion, and issued a leader's order.

Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen discussed with his most senior officials again, and gave rewards and punishments for Ningyuan's great victory.

Huang, the chief soldier of the Guangning Zhongqian Institute, fled after hearing the news, and threw the soldiers and civilians of the Zhongqian Institute into the prison camp.

Yellow is also unlucky. If Daming does not have a strong army and needs to rely on these army leaders, he may not die, but he will only take the crime and make meritorious service.After all, he was not the only one who ran away from the battle. At this time in the late Ming Dynasty, there were already many.

It's just a pity that Emperor Chongzhen worked hard to manage a strong army, and he no longer needed to rely on them as military ruffians, so he began to punish them severely according to the law.

Li Dingguo, a general of the Beijing camp, made a great contribution to capturing Aixinjueluo Azig, Prince Heshuoying of the puppet Qing Dynasty alive.

This is a horse bone again. Look, Yuan Shizhong was knighted, and now Li Dingguo is also knighted. As long as he makes military achievements, the court will treat him equally.

That's what Emperor Chongzhen meant. Of course, as he said to Liu Weichao, Li Dingguo's performance in the original history also had bonuses.Otherwise, there might not be such an exceptional promotion.

Wu Sangui fought the enemy bravely in the Battle of Ningyuan and charged forward. He was also promoted to the commander-in-chief, but transferred to Dongjiang Town.

At this time, Dongjiang Town existed in name only, not to mention rebuilding, just transferred to the past, the same.

After hearing this decree, everyone knew that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to rebuild Dongjiang Town.

And in this case, the cooperation of the navy is required.

No, Emperor Chongzhen then sealed off the Shanhaiguan coastal defense guerrilla Zheng Hongkui. This time he transported troops to successfully intercept Jianlu, and he made a great contribution.

Since Emperor Chongzhen put forward the new concept of the three armed forces, this is the first time that the original navy was officially named as the navy. Zheng Hongkui is the first vice-admiral of the navy.

If this matter was brought up suddenly, it would definitely surprise people.However, Emperor Chongzhen had put forward the concept of the three armies long ago, and the people below had already had this psychological expectation.Now that the navy is changed to the navy, no one objects to him in this day when his prestige is very high.

Qin Liangyu, Marquis of Zhongzhen, made great achievements in intercepting Jianlu, which was the key to this great victory in Ningyuan.
Du Yinxi, the governor of Jiliao, needs to continue to sit in Guanning, and he will be awarded the title of Grand Bachelor of Wuyingdian and Prince Taibao.

The rewards of other people are also different, but the above-mentioned people are the most.

All monetary rewards are distributed to personal accounts through the bank and received by their family members or themselves.

In addition, regarding the handling of Ningyuan Great Victory, there are the following:
First, the captives were transferred to the Ministry of Railways, mainly for the construction of the railway from Tongzhou to Shanhaiguan.

Second, half of the more than 1 war horses captured were sent to the Jizhou Great Wall to strengthen the defense here.

Third, Kong Youde took the crime and made meritorious service, and was assigned to Wu Sangui's command in Dongjiang Town.

Fourth, Prince Aixinjueluo Azige of the Puppet Qing Dynasty and He Shuoying was sentenced to be executed by the surrendered Jianlu Turge, who was allowed to perform crimes and meritorious deeds, and went to the grassland to persuade the Mongolian tribes to return.

Fifth, reorganize the officers and soldiers in Ningyuan, weed out the weak and retain the strong, and those who are eliminated will be converted into private households and distributed to the local farmland for use.

A considerable part of these garrison fields had already belonged to the generals who surrendered to Jianlu, such as Zu Dashou and others.The imperial court confiscated it and became the asset of the reorganized Guanning Army.

Sixth, the Guanning Army is in charge of operating Juehua Island as one of the naval bases.

These decrees were promulgated one by one, and Li Dingguo had an audience with Xie En.

Although, because of Yuan Shizhong's example, Li Dingguo actually had a glimmer of expectation for his own knighthood.However, he was very happy to be rewarded.

As a general, it is the highest honor and pursuit to be named a marquis.What's more, he was recruited from a rebel background.

Therefore, he was especially grateful to Emperor Chongzhen, and he felt that he was valued and died for his confidant.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the excited Li Dingguo, and he was actually emotional, but he was fine, but after letting Li Dingguo die, he said to him: "Do you know my intention of arranging Qing to return to Ma Shiying's command?"

When Li Dingguo heard this, he was taken aback immediately.Because he felt that Emperor Chongzhen must have other intentions, not the kind of recruiting the old ministry like last time.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen said to him without waiting for his answer: "Most of the thieves have already fled into Jiangxi and threatened Nanjing. Therefore, I will send an order to Ma Shiying to lead the troops into Nanjing. However, his main purpose is not to suppress the Thieves, but to rectify Nanjing!"

After a pause, he continued solemnly: "Nanjing is the center of gravity of Jiangnan. The most important thing is to see whether the Jiangnan rectification will finally come true. The officials have nothing to do with them, and they are newly awarded titles, and they are my confidantes. You can help Ma Shiying do some things, and act according to the law. Don't worry, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Dingguo participated in and experienced the rectification of Fengyang Mansion.Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen said to rectify Nanjing, he probably knew what was going on, so he immediately replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will only obey the emperor's order!"

He doesn't have a good impression of those civil servants and military generals in Nanjing, and there are so many nobles. It is a dream to try to win him over!

Emperor Chongzhen also valued his point, so he was transferred back to the south.Of course, it can also let those thieves know that Li Dingguo has served the court and is now a knight!
After some discussion, Emperor Chongzhen transferred Li Dingguo's troops to the south, and brought a secret decree to Ma Shiying.As for the bright side, there is naturally an imperial decree, and the decree has already been delivered to Jiangnan first.

In order to strengthen the defense of Nanjing, Ma Shiying led the elite army to station in Nanjing. Together with the eunuchs left behind in Nanjing, he took charge of the military and political power to suppress the bandits.

However, the descendants of Xu Da, the greatest noble in the original Nanjing defense, were dismissed from their posts and lived in idleness because of their ineffective defense against thieves.

With the transfer of the army, Qin Liangyu, who was still in Ningyuan, also went to the capital to see Xie En in early December.

Qin Liangyu was actually very surprised that Emperor Chongzhen named her Duke.

It was difficult for the Ming Dynasty to confer a title, even though Emperor Chongzhen was generous, but so far, she was the only one who was conferred the title of duke.

It is very rare for a daughter to be named a duke, even if her achievements are unrivaled.

Not to mention, Qin Liangyu felt that his contribution was actually limited. With the court's strategy, even if someone else intercepted Jianlu this time, I believe there would be no problem.

Therefore, she felt guilty, and brought it up on the spot when she had an audience with the emperor.
