Chapter 305

Prince Zhu Cihong and his party, after disposing of the Tartar captives, walked toward Chang'an Street amidst the farewell of many common people. Apart from the [-] Battalion and a dozen generals of the frontier army, a group of 'muses' followed behind the imperial chariot.

Yes, none of these censors are horses, they are all mules.

Zhu Cihong really felt that none of the bloody guys behind him who often scolded his father were capable of doing anything!
He was suddenly a little curious. He didn't know why his ancestors created such a large number of censors. Because of these officials who heard the rumors, how many unjust cases occurred in the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, let alone how much manpower and material resources were spent on it. .

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?" Liu Hongjian was riding on the horse and asked Zhu Cihong when he saw Zhu Cihong opened the curtain and looked out the window in a daze.

"It's nothing, I seem to understand better now what is Qingliu and what is Xunli..."

……

In Huangji Hall, Emperor Chongzhen had been waiting on the throne for a long time.

Originally, he was supposed to preside over the prisoner offering ceremony in person, but for some reason, Chongzhen specially ordered Prince Zhu Cihong to go there on his behalf.

After all the officials finished their salutes, Chongzhen immediately stood up from the throne.

"The frontier army and the generals of the camp going to the frontier Beijing come forward!" Chongzhen seemed to be in a good mood, and his haggard face seemed to have some light.

"Wang Yuanba, General of the Shanhai Pass, greets His Majesty!"

"Jizhou Chief Soldier Li Jie greets His Majesty!"

"Xuan Mansion Counselor Xu Gaoxin kowtows to His Majesty!"

"Wu Binghao, general of the Three Thousand Battalion, kowtows to His Majesty!"

"Guerrilla Yang Chao from Shenji Battalion kowtows to Your Majesty!"

……

In just a moment, more than a dozen frontier soldiers and generals of the Beijing camp fell to their knees from the array of military attaches.

Most of these generals are going to court for the first time, but they are all heroes who have experienced life and death. Under the leadership of the two generals, they have no stage fright.

"Li Yunkui, draw up the decree!" Chongzhen said seriously.

"Promote Wang Yuanba, the commander-in-chief of the Shanhaiguan Pass, to be a prisoner, reward him with 2000 taels of silver, and give him a flying fish suit!

Promote Li Jie, the chief soldier of Jizhou, to Uncle Jing, reward him with 2000 taels of silver, and give him a flying fish suit!

Promoted Wei Penghong, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, to be an extermination prisoner, rewarded him with 2000 taels of silver, and bestowed him with a flying fish suit!

Promoted Tang Feng, the chief soldier of Datong, to Ping Lubo, rewarded him with 2000 taels of silver, and gave him a flying fish suit!
Promote Xiangxiong, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan Town, to Zheng Beibo, reward 2000 taels of silver, and give flying fish clothes!
Promoted Gao Yigong, the commander-in-chief of Yansui Town, to Uncle Jingbei, rewarded with 2000 taels of silver, and bestowed a flying fish suit!

Promote Hao Yaoqi, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia Town, to Mie Bei Bo, reward him with 2000 taels of silver, and give him a flying fish suit!

Promoted Liu Wen, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan Town, to Ping Beibo, rewarded him with 2000 taels of silver, and gave him a flying fish suit!
Promote Lu Yi, the chief soldier of Gansu Town, to Xing'an Bo, reward him with 2000 taels of silver, and give him a flying fish suit!
……

Promote Wu Binghao and Lu Haibo, generals of the Three Thousand Battalion, and Lin He, a general of the Shenji Battalion, to viscount, rewarded with 1000 taels of silver, and bestowed with bullfighting uniforms!
……

Promoted Chang Yu, the deputy of Qianhu Office of Wansui Mountain, to Dingruibo, rewarded with 2000 taels of silver, and given flying fish clothes!

Promoting Qiu Qing, the deputy ancestor of Qianhu Office of Wansui Mountain, to Anrubo, rewarding him with 2000 taels of silver and giving him a flying fish suit!
Wang Lang, Xing Shan, Yue Chengze, and Kuo Duan, officials from hundreds of households in the Qianhu Office of Wansui Mountain, were promoted to viscounts, rewarded with 1000 taels of silver, and bestowed with bullfighting uniforms!
Niu Zhuang, originally a family member of the Marquis of Anguo, was loyal and courageous. He had gone through the battles of Shanhaiguan, Shanxi, and Shanxi.

Ten is a viscount, rewarded with 1000 taels of silver, and given a bullfighting uniform. If anyone intends to join the frontier army, he can become a general and be promoted to earl! "

Speaking of this, Chongzhen glanced at Liu Hongjian who was swaying his legs behind, and found that this guy didn't care about his poaching behavior.

"Governor Huang Degong of Xuanliao, since he took office, has remained calm in the face of danger, coordinated the nine sides, dispatched well, and made great achievements in destroying captives. He will reward you with 3000 taels of silver and give him python clothes!"

Chongzhen seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said.

"Promote Feng Dunhou, a guerrilla in Shanhaiguan, to be the commander-in-chief and viscount of Dongjiang Town, and given bullfighting uniforms, to take charge of the old land east of Liaohe, including Pidao and Tieshan. Pidao will be renamed Wenlong Island from now on.

Liu Hongjian, the governor of Xuanliao, made great achievements repeatedly. Only one party in the enemy's rear, wiped out [-] Jian captives, made Jian captives return without success, recovered the old Wenlong Island, and made Jian captives controlled by the enemy's rear.

Promoting Anguohou to Anguogong, hereditary succession, and rewarding 5000 taels of silver!

This!Cough-cough-"

Chongzhen said so much in one breath, but finally couldn't help coughing.

The entire Huangji Hall froze all of a sudden.

The commanders of the important towns on the nine borders were all made earls, and even many generals were made viscounts and barons.

There is also the small Wansui Mountain Thousand Households Office, where a deputy Qianhu was made an earl, and Baihu was even made a viscount...

After a battle, there were more than a dozen earls, more than 40 viscounts, and more than [-] barons!

There is also the Flying Fish Clothes, the ancestral system is established, and officials above the second rank can only be rewarded when they have made great achievements. In the past, Chongzhen would not reward one for several years.

That's good, it's like sending out a lot at once.

As usual, the cabinet members stood in front of the hall without saying a word, and they all obeyed Chongzhen's orders.

The censors headed by Ma Shiying all had a bitter face, and there was a sour grape in the back of the hall...

Although he was very sad and upset, Ma Shiying decided that he did not intend to be the first bird this time.

Judging by Chongzhen's expression, it is obvious that if he refuted again, he would probably have to return to Nanjing to retire.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" The frontier army and Beijing camp generals replied in unison.

These generals originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of presenting prisoners to take a look at the prosperity of the capital, and by the way help the robes guarding the Great Wall to bring back the reward silver from the imperial court.

But what I didn't expect at all was that when I came to the capital, I was warmly welcomed by all the people.

Not only that, but also went to court, and was conferred a title by His Majesty the Emperor!
Knighthood!That is the dream of all generals, oh no, all soldiers dare not achieve!

The general who didn't want to be a marquis for thousands of miles is not a good soldier. Obviously, Chongzhen gave them a big gift!
"Ni Yuanlu from the Household Department and Li Banghua from the Military Department, you two should coordinate immediately, and distribute the pensions and rewards that should be given to the frontier soldiers as scheduled, without any mistakes!"

"My ministers Ni Yuanlu and Li Banghua obey the order!" The two uncles took the order without any haste.

It doesn't matter whether it's a paper paste or a puppet, as long as Daming is developing in a good direction, so what if the old man takes the blame?

Success or failure, merit or demerit, all have posterity to comment!

"Ma Shiying, Ministry of Rites!" Chongzhen glanced at Ma Shiying, who was suffering.

"Ah, the minister is here!" Ma Shiying was taken aback, and hurried out of the class to respond.

"This imperial conferment, I want to announce it to the world, and let the people of Ming Dynasty know.

Ma Aiqing must handle this matter well, remember, every county must be notified, and I want all the people to know that Daming will not treat meritorious soldiers badly! "

Chongzhen's meaning couldn't be more obvious, he wants to make great use of generals!
"Minister Ma Shiying complies with the order!" Ma Shiying said hastily.

"An Guogong? An Guogong?" Chongzhen shouted towards the rear.

"Ah? The emperor is looking for me?"
