Chapter 252: A happy family and a sad family
The next most important thing is to reward the heroes.
Shi Lang, Zhang Jiayu, Li Dingguo, and Li Chengdong were all named the fourth-class marquis, Li Yuanyin was named the fourth-class Zhongyi Bo, Chen Zhongwu, Shi Zhaolian, Shi Zhaoxu and others were promoted to the third-class marquis. Correspondingly, Chen Zhongwu was promoted, and his father Chen Jitai was also promoted to the second-class marquis.
In the left army, Ma Bao made contributions to the capture of Ji'an and lost his title. Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi were all promoted to first-class nephews.
The right-road army, Meng Wenjie, Du Yonghe and Sun Zhongming were all named Bo.
Although the Central Army did not have very prominent military achievements, Nanchang and Ganzhou tried their best to ensure that they had won time for each army to manually annihilate the enemy, which was also a great contribution.
Therefore, in addition to being promoted to Zhang Jiayu, Li Desi was also rewarded with a fourth-class nephew. Jin Shenghuan was promoted to a first-class nephew. Wang Deren lost Jiujiang and was not promoted to a first-class nephew because he had made merits and demerits.
The other generals and assistants had no reward for titles, but their official positions were mentioned accordingly.
Of course, silver rewards for military service are essential.
Zhu Youlang was not stingy at all in this regard. He gave the three troops and the navy a reward of 500,000 taels each, and allocated 500,000 taels to Jin Shenghuan to compensate for the taxes not received due to the war, so that he could quickly stabilize and restore the situation in Jiangxi.
In addition to military generals, civil officials were also promoted.
Wu Bing and Chen Zizhuang were both named the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, and the other Grand Secretary were promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion.
Wang Fuzhi was named Minister of Rites, Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and in charge of the Hanlin Academy. Gu Yanwu served as the position of priest of the Imperial College, and Li Yong was named Grand Secretary of Youchunfang, and the Zhanshifu was the youngest Zhanshi, Gui Zhuang was promoted to the Hanlin Academy. He was still the editor-in-chief of the Daming Weekly.
As a "male secret", Gu Yanwu was the one who Zhu Youlang could not leave for a moment. Although Yang Ai was already the "female secret", Wencai didn't say that because Zhu Youlang assigned her another job, Gu Yanwu was still the original messenger.
Fortunately, because there are too few talents, the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Shi Mansion are still just empty-handed. They will appoint the chief first and then add it in the future.
Other civil officials also received promotions. The most worth mentioning are these few people.
Wang Huacheng was transferred to Guangdong as governor of Guangdong, and Jinbao was promoted to governor of Guangxi.
Li Yong left office, and Duan Xing could not take on the main force, so Zhu Youlang transferred Jiao Lian to become the marshal of the mountain army, with the title of general.
Jiao Lian is one of Zhu Youlang's most trusted people. Although he is not a high official position, he is always entrusted by Zhu Youlang to protect his heart.
...
Regarding Li Yong's appointment, the court also had a quarrel.
The Ming Dynasty was always a noble and noble man. After Zhu Youlang ascended the throne, he had changed this concept, but some people still looked at this matter with the old thinking.
They believed that Li Yong changed his civil service through martial arts and was entrusted with the important task of teaching the prince, which was too much reward. The most important point was that although Li Yong's injury was cured by Ye Zifan, he was left with a lame disease and needed a pillar to lie when walking.
There has always been a rule in the Ming Dynasty that people with disabilities should not enter the officialdom.
When discussing this matter, Qu Shixiu was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, so he made a suggestion that he could reward his title with his military position and let Li Yong rest.
Huang Zongxi immediately expressed his objection: "Mr. Qu, although Lord Li was a military official, he was a literati. Who has not heard of the name of the "Three Lis in Guanzhong"? Besides, he was forced to join the military official because he was helpless, and it was not his original intention. When he was recommended by the farmer, he also wanted to join the civil service. Therefore, he should not be rewarded with his military official position and ordered him to retire."
"What Taichong said is extremely true, I will discuss it. Li Zhongfu is an outstanding person and has a straightforward character. When he went to the Qing camp, he became famous all over the world. It would be a pity if such a person was asked to retire." Chen Bangyan agreed.
"Taichong, have you forgotten your ancestors' system? If you become an official, you must be an official. Li Zhongfu's integrity is really admirable. If you have no physical condition, it would not be an exaggeration to be a great man. Unfortunately, your feet were ruined by the fireballs. If you enter the court, wouldn't it be a hindrance?" Wu Bing refuted Huang Zongxi.
"Mr. Wu, 'Personal Words and Practice' was the requirement for scholars during the imperial examination. Lord Li was not a ruin in heaven, but was ruined by the country. How could he be measured by the imperial examination standards?" Huang Zongxi defended.
After Huang Zongxi said this, Zhu Youlang nodded repeatedly, and Wu Bing and others had nothing to say.
If Li Yong is such a noble person, if Zhu Youlang doesn't use it because he is disabled, he will be laughed at by later generations.
"Li Yong was disabled because of his country and was upright. If he abandoned it, he would say that our monarch and ministers were too narrow-minded. Although Li Yong had foot disease, he could speak and could write with his hands. I not only need to use it, but also use it. The princes have grown up, but the Zhan Shi Mansion has not yet been established. I see, let Li Yong be the Zhan Shi Mansion. I will not only use his deeds to educate the people's officials to cultivate righteousness, but also let him personally teach the prince to become a talented person." Zhu Youlang stopped the argument between his ministers and decided on this matter.
Through this incident, the ministers deeply felt the emperor's contempt for the ancestral system. If it suits his own wishes, he would use it; if it doesn't suit his own wishes, he would change it.
If you speak and judge by your own words, how can you tell whether the heaven is ruined or not?
However, with the fact that the country is disabled, it can be considered as a way to prevent the changes of this ancestral system from happening in later generations.
...
Li Yong's affairs were decided like this, and Zhu Youlang thought of his real father-in-law again.
He is an earl, so he can't meet Li Dingguo. Shi Lang and the others will give them a greeting? Besides, the father-in-law has been promoted, so his real father-in-law has to be promoted to one more time.
So he issued another kind order, and appointed Wang Wentao as the fourth-class Anlehou.
There are many titles, but this is a unique phenomenon when the country was founded. When the world is peaceful, it will be difficult to win titles with military merits.
Although Zhu Youlang was not the founding king, he was the Continent of the Ming Dynasty. However, his ancestors only left him a bloodline, and he was lost in large areas of land, leaving him with only a corner of Zhaoqing. After nearly four years of hard work, he has recovered a large area of lost land in Jiangnan. In time, it is not a very distant dream to fully realize the revival of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, although it is called Continent of the Continent, it is actually the same as the founding of the Continent.
Fortunately, Zhu Youlang's title was not a fief, but he had a higher salary, a higher status, a better reputation, and did not get a good reputation. Zhu Youlang was happy to do it.
...
Zhu Youlang was awarded a great honor for his heroes, but the city of Beijing thousands of miles away was in panic and sorrow.
Lukedehun retreated across the Yangtze River, fled north and all the way to Xuzhou. Then he stopped and quickly wrote the matter in Jiangnan into a memorial, and submitted it to the capital for 800 miles in a hurry.
When Haoge received the memorial, his face was ashamed. He threw several tea cups one after another before he let out a breath and calmed down slowly.
