I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 729
There is only the third-class title of Da Chu Xun, that is, the Duke of the Duke, and there is no second-class title for men who have no sons.

The Duke of the State is already the top title of Great Chu, and he is also the chief of honor.In the whole Dachu, there are only three families, and now the family of Xiayang Gong has been added.

And generally speaking, even if Zheng Xiaoming was made a Duke, he would not be a Spyker.To put it bluntly, it is only his generation, which can be called Xiayang Gong.The title was passed on to the next generation, and it was still the Marquis of Xiayang.

However, this time the emperor was very generous and directly conferred Zheng Xiaoming as the hereditary Duke of Xiayang.This reward is not insignificant!
With Xiayang Gong's reward, as for the other rewards of gold, silver, farms, etc., they are trivial.

Finally, the imperial court appointed Zheng Xiaoming as the commander-in-chief of Daning Town, and went to Daning Town to station Yunyun.

This is also the regulation of the imperial court. The nobles and military generals who have cultivated into the Taibao will no longer enter the capital, stationed in border towns, and guard the border.

Of course, the imperial court would not be so unkind, and let Zheng Xiaoming rush to Daning immediately after returning to Beijing, before his butt was hot.

So Zheng Xiaoming was given ten days of vacation to rest and take a bath, and it would not be too late to go to Daning after ten days.

Zheng Xiaoming thanked the emperor for his kindness and returned home.I saw that the original Xiayang Hou's Mansion had changed drastically, and it had become Xiayang Duke's Mansion.

The whole mansion is even more red and colorful, with cars and horses like clouds.But all the nobles, in-laws, old friends and so on from various families came to congratulate.

The difference between Xiayanghou and Xiayanggong seems to be a word, but the difference in various aspects is a chance.

The Duke of the State is the pinnacle of the nobles, the leader of all the nobles... because almost all the nobles are entrusted with martial arts and have military habits.

So to put it bluntly, almost all the uncles of the various families came from the families of several princes.

For example, in this world, the Marquis of Xiayang was originally from Huang Guogong's family.The first Marquis of Xiayang was an old subordinate of the first generation of Huang Guogong...so all generations of Xiayanghou's mansion must follow the example of Huang Guogong's mansion.

And now that Zheng Xiaoming has become Lord Xiayang, theoretically he can sit on an equal footing with Duke Huang's mansion!

The various dispatches of the imperial court basically work for a few princes.For example, the emperor sacrificed to the sky, etc., these things, there is no such thing as Hou Bo, only the Duke of the state is qualified.

Therefore, the transformation of Xiayang Hou's Mansion into Xiayang Duke's Mansion is definitely a huge improvement in status.Almost all nobles from various families sent people to congratulate.

The emperor also sent the prince to send a reward, etc... This also implies that Zheng Xiaoming, the royal family has not alienated you.It's just limited to the imperial court regulations, the emperor is not good to meet with you, so he sent the prince here Yunyun.

Of course, in addition to these honors, there is also the promotion of status. What is more important to Zheng Xiaoming is that after becoming Xiayang Gong, his power of benevolence has increased a lot.

After a few days of turmoil, after the tenth day, Zheng Xiaoming brought a group of generals from the Hou family, as well as nobles from various families, relatives and old relatives, who sent them to the future.

Because Zheng Xiaoming went to Daning Town to be the chief military officer, although it was remote and bitterly cold, he actually held a heavy army and real power.

Naturally, there are a lot of people who want to pursue a future with Zheng Xiaoming... Most of them are concubine sons of honorable families, who are not qualified to inherit the family business and can only rely on themselves to make a future.

Gonghou Xungui seems to be honorable, but his family has a big business and the population is too large, so not everyone can take care of him.The lives of many of the concubine's children may not be as they wish, so they might as well follow Zheng Xiaoming to the border.

With Zheng Xiaoming taking care of her, she might make some contributions, and she will be promising in the future!
Of course, it is also a good thing for Zheng Xiaoming. These children of the concubine are also well educated and have talents in all aspects.

Zheng Xiaoming went to Daning Town to take up the post, so it wouldn't mean that there would be no manpower available.

Of course, the people in Xiayang Gongfu are Zheng Xiaoming's closest descendants.Among them are family generals with high martial arts skills, accountants who are proficient in accounts, and Qing Ke staff who can make suggestions and so on.

This is having a complete team!

This is also the background of the noble family...

A group of hundreds of people left the capital and headed all the way to Daning.

However, in a few days, they have already passed through the important town of Lulongguan. This is the most important pass to protect the capital.

Here you can see the surging mountains and rivers, the pass city has been built into the sea, and there is even a water city, just to guard against enemy attacks from the sea.

After Lulong is a narrow passage, stretching for one or two hundred miles.There are mountains on one side and the sea on the other.

In ancient times, this road was very difficult, with swamps and tidal flats stretching for dozens of miles.

However, with the passage of time and the expansion of the mainland, this road has already stabilized and become an important channel for communication inside and outside the customs, and the pedestrian traffic is very lively.

It's just that this road is still within the range of Lulong Pass, and there are various fortifications everywhere.

It can also be said that this Lulong Road, which stretches for one or two hundred miles, is a complete pass city.

And after coming to Lulong Road, you have to walk for more than [-] days to find Daning Town.

Going forward, this road is quite difficult.There are many virgin forests along the way. Although the latitude is high and the climate is cold, there are abundant water and grass, rivers everywhere, and even large swamps.

Fortunately, there are official road stations built by the imperial court along the way, otherwise this road would be even more difficult to walk.

Zheng Xiaoming is still hundreds of miles away from Daning Town. The generals of Daning Town have already received the news, and rushed to meet him a hundred miles away, set up a colorful shed, and carried advocacy.

When Zheng Xiaoming arrived, firecrackers shook the sky immediately, and drums and music blared together.

The generals of the Daning Army have bowed down to welcome the arrival of Zheng Xiaoming, the new commander-in-chief.

With a quick glance, Zheng Xiaoming could see that among these generals there were many Tatar officials with loose hair, and of course Mohe with braids.These are all generals from tribes outside the pass who have defected to the Great Chu, and they all look majestic and sturdy.

It's just that in front of Zheng Xiaoming, the newly appointed chief military officer, the Duke of the State, he was always respectful and his attitude was extremely low.

There was also a Mohe military general who was about to come and kiss Zheng Xiaoming's boots, saying: "The servant pays homage to the Duke!"

But this is an old man from Xiayanghou's mansion. He was a subordinate of the previous Xiayanghou and was also promoted by the former Xiayanghou.

Although the nobles seem to be extremely suppressed by the civil officials in the capital, if they have no influence in the army, how can it be possible?

As a matter of fact, there are a large number of former subordinates in each of the honorable mansions who serve as mid-to-high-ranking officers in the army.

This is because the guards outside the customs are not good now, if the guards outside the customs were complete back then.Then, almost every officer in the Guanwai Guards has a deep relationship with the Xungui family.

Because Da Chu is hereditary!
