After solving the frontier problem, the next thing is the joyful canonization problem, and those meritorious soldiers have long been eager to be rewarded.

In response to the title, Zhu Cihong made some adjustments and restored the viscount and baron.

The title of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two kinds: clan and relatives, the clan is the royal family dragon son and grandson, and the titles are prince, county king, Zhenguo general, auxiliary general, Fengguo general, Zhenguo lieutenant, auxiliary lieutenant, Fengguo lieutenant, etc.

Relatives are divided into duke, marquis, uncle, son, male five, by the meritorious and royal relatives, originally the fifth class, later was removed viscount and baron, leaving only the duke, marquis, uncle, etc., all of which are super products.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, also set a system: "All lords who are not for military merit in the society cannot be sealed, and titles cannot be given unless they are specially intended." ”

For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of the past dynasties also strictly adhered to this system, and the Chongzhen period was so noisy, fighting wars year after year, and in the end a few generals were awarded the earl, unlike the Tatar Qing Dynasty who met a second Tartar to come up and be crowned the king, the same as not giving money in vain.

Of course, in addition to the military merits, there are also descendants of the Confucian family, such as Yan Shenggong, Captain of the Horse, and royal relatives, but these are only given coupons.

Because there are too many soldiers and meritorious generals who participated in the war this time, the titles of duke, marquis, and earl are super-grade existences, and they are too glorious, and the number of canonized people cannot be too widespread.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong restored the viscount and the baron, which were equivalent to the first and second ranks, respectively.

On the second day of the second month of the second year of Tianwu, a grand canonization ceremony was held in the Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City.

Because of his outstanding command in the Northern Expedition Puppet Shun and the Battle of Guan Jin, Sun Yingyuan was awarded the title of Duke of Qin, and Huang Degong was awarded the title of Duke of Jingguo.

Cao Bianjiao crossed two levels in a row, and was also awarded the title of Duke of Guo, as the Duke of Xiangguo.

Zhou Yuji attacked Shaanxi, and the cumulative credit was not much, and he was still a marquis.

Li Tingbiao, Mao Yuanyi, Zhu Youneng, Li Shaoyou, Yang Qili, Xu Sheng, Gao Bang, Zhao Jinglin, Wang Wannian and others were awarded marquises.

Li Yu and Chu Yuanfang of the Tianwu Army, as well as Wang Tingchen, Hu Dawei, Zhu Wende, Jiang Zhu and other veterans of the nine-sided line, were awarded earls.

Qi Guangyang, Xu Qingshan, Wang Zhen and other generals of the younger generation were awarded viscounts.

In addition to the military generals, several cabinet ministers who were busy in the rear were awarded the title of marquis or earl, and the officials of the provinces who performed well were awarded the rank of civil officials.

All those who are canonized are given the title of meritorious hero and the iron coupon Danshu to show their outstanding merits and the emperor's grace.

For example, Huang Degong's meritorious hero is called "Fengtian Yiyun Xuanli Wuchen", and Yang Shicong among the civil ministers is "Fengtian Yiyun Shouzheng Wenchen".

Those who are highly meritorious add the word "Tui Cheng", Cao Bianjiao's meritorious number is "Fengtian Yiyun Tui Cheng Xuanli Wuchen", and the meritorious number of Yang Tinglin, the first assistant of the cabinet, is "Fengtian Yiyun Tui Cheng Shou Zhengwen Chen".

Xu Sheng, who was in charge of the Imperial Forest Army, was titled Marquis of Wu'an, and his meritorious title was "Weisheng Meritorious Hero".

Jinyi Wei commanded Li Tingbiao, his title was Marquis of Zhongwu, and the meritorious hero was called "Yiwei Meritorious Hero".

What's even more surprising is that Sun Heding, who has never been on the battlefield, was actually made a marquis!

There is also a familiar and unfamiliar researcher, named Li Dongfeng, who was also made an earl!

After the introduction of the palace, these two are the bigwigs of the military research institute and scientific researchers.

The Heding rifle and the Dongfeng rocket were made by these two people and named after them!

Only then did everyone know that it was like this, no wonder it was so familiar, it turned out to be a big guy, which is really admirable!

Such perverted weapons have been developed, can it not be admired?

No matter what the civilian officials think, anyway, the generals are sincerely admired, these weapons make the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty like artifacts on the battlefield, greatly improve the process of victory in the war, reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and the two bigwigs deserve it!

The new emperor attaches so much importance to scientific researchers, which makes the researchers of the Military Research Institute and the Royal Academy of Sciences work harder, and even the Guozijian Middle School has set off a research tide.

You don't need to study hard for ten years, you don't need to go to the battlefield to try your luck, you can make contributions at home, and eat with your brains, what a good way!

Many people think that the threshold for engaging in scientific research is low, like Sun Heding, although he has read a lot of books, he does not have a high degree of education, and he still develops so many weapons?

Not to mention Li Dongfeng, he used to be a craftsman! I don't know a few big words, but I can actually make a rocket that can fly!

Just like some people in later generations, they immediately followed the trend when they saw others making a lot of money online, and they were full of hope that they could earn 1.8 million yuan a year, but after a month or two, the mood here is indescribable......

What makes people curious is that among the dozens of nobles who were awarded this time, none of them are hereditary, and all of them are ordinary hereditary.

There are two kinds of titles, one is only granted for life (immortal), that is, the lord, and the other is hereditary (immortal), and the second is hereditary, and the world or not, depending on the size of the military merits.

From the Wei and Jin dynasties, hereditary lineage was further divided into hereditary recklessness and hereditary succession.

The meaning of hereditary recklessness is as literal as the word, and after the death of the descendants, a title can be hereditary countless times, until the court is overthrown, such as Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei and other noble families, which have existed for more than 200 years or are still national dukes, all of which are hereditary replacements.

Ordinary hereditary inheritance is different, the number of hereditary successions is limited, and every time it is inherited, the inheritor can only inherit a title one level lower than the original title of the inherited, that is, it must be downgraded one level every time it is inherited.

From the Song Dynasty onwards, there was a phenomenon that titles could not be hereditary, similar to the lifelong nobility of England.

Zhu Cihong's canonization this time is all hereditary.

Because in the future of the Ming Dynasty, he will have to do a big thing, except for the emperor, whether it is the royal family or the nobles, no hereditary replacement.

Now it's just the beginning, let's see how it works, and if there are any people who are not happy, you can talk about it individually......

To Zhu Cihong's satisfaction, no one was skeptical.

Perhaps because it was too close to the last canonization, Sun Yingyuan and other nobles were embarrassed to accept the canonization, and they resigned again and again, and they could be crowned hereditary princes, and the new emperor was already extraordinarily glorious.

The grand canonization ceremony lasted until the afternoon.

After the end, Zhu Cihong set up a dinner party in the palace, invited the civil and military ministers to celebrate, and by the way, made up the 100-day banquet of the eldest princess.

The 100-day banquet is a ceremony held on the first 100th day of the baby's birth to wish it a long life, also known as a hundred years old, a hundred days, and some books of the Song and Ming dynasties are recorded.

When the eldest princess was born, it was the time when her father Zhu Cihong was fighting the Northern Expedition, and the court was very busy, and the Empress Dowager Zhou presided over the overall situation of the harem, so she canceled the full moon banquet and the centennial banquet.

Although he is not a prince, Zhu Cihong also attaches great importance to it, and he is also his first child, so he chose a big day to celebrate together.
