In the Overseer's Office in Kaohsiung, the sun was shining directly into the room at the beginning of the morning, it was nine o'clock in the morning, and the scheduled meeting was held on time.

The southeastern province has implemented a 9-to-5 work system, which is highly supported by officials.

This system is more in line with the principles of heaven and humane, we don't need to be like the strait, the emperor goes to court on the fifth watch (five o'clock in the morning), the ministers have to prepare for the third watch (three o'clock in the morning), no one dares to be late, the summer is fine, and the winter is extremely bitter!

In addition, the province also has a six-day working day off system, plus some holidays, so that the officials are quite satisfied with the working schedule.

Yan Changwu sat behind his large desk, while the participants sat on the sofas on the left and right.

The Southeast Prefecture claimed that there was no rebellion, and that the "government of the dynasty" was much more humane than that of the Ming Dynasty on the mainland, and the officials all had seats, and even sat more casually, like the CEO Chen Xinji, who sat his whole body next to the sofa, and of course the newly promoted deputy chief of staff Gan Hui only dared to sit on half of his buttocks.

On the left of the participants was Chen Xinji, who was led by Chief Operating Officer Hong Sheng, Chief Financial Officer Chen Hebin, Senior Administrative Officer Liu Zhifeng,

On the right are senior military officials, including Deputy Admirals Li Ying and Li De, and Deputy Chiefs of Staff Gan Hui and Storm.

In this way, the most senior civil and military officials of the southeast province were concentrated, and they all had a printed material in their hands, which was the report of Hong Xiguan, which was mainly divided into two contents, one was the foreign affairs activities in Manila, and the other was that he singled out the port of Batavia and made a vote on the way back.

The success of Manila's foreign affairs activities is a matter of course, after all, he has a powerful South-East Fleet behind him, in other words, as long as it is not too bad.

But his other things, everyone's praise ah, this kid is good, he has created a sea legend!

As for the situation where he slipped away to fight halfway through as an envoy, it was simply not a matter, and everyone ignored it.

"His contribution is very great, and it should be rewarded and commended!" In Li Ying's words.

"Agreed!" Everyone agreed

"His results are even greater than what we have achieved, they created the first special operation, sank one of the big ships of the Netherlands, caused the other side to commotion, and sank another, so many of our fleets can't sink the results, of course, he is the result of Mazu's blessing and his own efforts!

There is also the capture of a silver ship of the opponent, which is a real record, killing the opponent's warship and taking the lead in the charge! ”

Yan Changwu gushed endlessly: "The result is still secondary, the key is spiritual victory!" ”

"This is like our expedition, although it did not achieve the results of sinking, but it shows a spirit: the recruit can come, the coming can fight, and the battle can win!"

"They also embody a kind of wisdom, strong initiative, they will fight when they meet the enemy, and they will win the battle! Know how to use your brain and find ways to find the enemy's weak spots! “

"Kaohsiung No. 8 dared to fight, fought with the enemy's single ship against single ship, won the artillery battle, won the broadside battle, and completely trampled the Dutch under their feet!"

"Speaking of our Grand Fleet, we launched an attack, a long journey, although there was no victory, but, guys, this is the Netherlands, nicknamed the Coachman of the Sea, this is a maritime power, the connotation of hundreds of years, their fleet is all over the world, they are experienced, they are strong ships and artillery, we are not an opponent of the magnitude compared to them!

But after only a few years of hard work, after our efforts, we were able to draw with them (the battle of Batavia is characterized as a draw on the battlefield), it is a big victory!

A great victory in spirit, we no longer have a psychological burden against the Dutch, we can do it, we can fight with any maritime power! ”

As Governor Speke of the East India Company feared, the Dutch were a lose-lose, and in addition to the material losses, the spiritual defeat was difficult to make up.

After a lot of investment, building ships and buying guns, coupled with the training of no holidays, he adopted an extreme method of "building while fighting, training while fighting, and exercising and growing in battle", with a fearless spirit, so that the old maritime power Netherlands could not take advantage, which is commendable, and it must be known that the Dutch used 12-pounder guns to fight against the 24-pounder guns of the Southeast Fleet, and none of them were sunk!

Everyone listened to him say passionately: "We are the first cry of the eagle, the young dragon into the sea, let the world pay attention!" ”

He said confidently: "Give me three years at most, and I will definitely be able to occupy Batavia, the South China Sea, which is the inner lake of our southeast province!" ”

"Whew!" All the people exhaled heavily, they were so excited by Yan Changwu's words that they were so focused on listening that they couldn't even take a breath!

……

"The victory of our Grand Fleet, as well as the wisdom and courage of Kaohsiung No. 8, are not rewards and commendations!" Yan Changwu said slowly.

Hearing everyone's hearts, everyone sat even more straight, and their eyes were destined to Yan Changwu!

As a result, they were not disappointed, and heard Yan Changwu say that the topic of being absolutely heavy artillery for the Southeast Mansion: "I will give the lord the establishment!" ”

"Whoever obtains the title will retire with the country!"

Everyone's heart is so excited!

What are you fighting for? It's not for the sake of high-ranking officials, sealing wives and cute children!

And the title, in addition to being distinguished in front of people, can also be inherited.

Everyone supports Yan Dashao, what he has achieved is his Yan family's country, and in the future, he will be enthroned and dominated, and Yan Dashao, the reward is to give everyone a knighthood, the title can be passed on to the general, and the children and grandchildren will be of infinite use.

Like Xu Guogong (Xu Da) who stayed behind in Nanjing and Mu Jia (Mu Ying) in Yunnan, who does not envy them to death.

What's more, the new opening of the knighthood means that the person who receives the knighthood is the founding father!

People will not remember who the second and third generations of Guogong are, but who the first generation of Guogong is, they will often be remembered, and they will be remembered and written in history!

Moreover, Yan Dashao decided to establish a knighthood system, indicating that he could no longer turn back, and his disobedience was obvious!

He will never dare to tear down the system he has established, otherwise, his subordinates will not let him go!

Everyone eagerly looked at the statute of the knighthood sent by the waiter, there were two main aspects, one was the setting of the title; The second is the setting up of loose officials (Jilu officials) for civil and military officials.

Because it is not a rebellion, it is not possible to use the title of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Changwu is too lazy to think about it, and directly retro, that is, the Qin Dynasty's military merit 20-level title system is used, from low to high:

One public scholar, two on the building, three hairpins, four not more, five doctors, six official doctors, seven public doctors, eight public doctors, nine five doctors, ten left long, eleven right long, twelve left more, thirteen middle watch, fourteenth right watch, fifteen less on the building, sixteen on the top, seventeen car chief, eighteen long chariot, nineteen guan nei hou, twenty Che Hou.

However, he declared: "Actually, the twenty-level title system is only used to hide people's eyes and ears, and I think it is set to:

Duke (Guogong);

Marquis;

Earl (the top three)

Viscount (Shoichipin)

Baron (Zheng Erpin)

General Fengguo (Zheng Sanpin, the above titles are divided into three grades: first, second, and third)

Lieutenant Zhenguo (Zheng Sipin)

Lieutenant of the Auxiliary Country (Zheng Wupin)"

Yan Changwu explained thoroughly, the lieutenant of the auxiliary country is equivalent to the duke, the lieutenant of the town is equivalent to the Shangzao, and so on, for example, to the duke level, the first-class duke is the marquis of Che, the second-class duke is the marquis of Guannei, and the third-class duke is the chief of the general.

Then there are titles set up hereditary replacements and hereditary titles, hereditary replacements can be passed down from generation to generation, and will not be reduced, and the hereditary lords will have the number of descendants to inherit, generally each generation minus a large rank, that is, the son of a first-class duke is not a second-class duke, but a first-class marquis, and so on.
