Most of the generals were only from poor families and Li Shu, and before joining the army, they still didn't know a single big character, and after joining the army, they received basic education and became literate, but they were blind to the past history.

They basically don't know what that means.

They don't know what a duke is, they don't know what it means to establish a feudal state, but they know that the chariot general has a very high status, but other than that, they don't know.

And a considerable part of the advisers and scribes knew what that meant.

Xi Zhong, Guo Jia, Chen Gong, they know what it means.

At the same time, they also had the idea of whether the imperial court was bought by Guo Peng or controlled by Guo Peng.

Otherwise, how could the imperial court, which was not under Guo Peng's control, make such a reward?

Is it purely to win over and commend Guo Peng and demonstrate the credibility of the Hongnong Central Court?

Under the feudal system of the Zhou royal family, the feudal state became the monarch, and mastered the local military, financial and administrative powers, and was not interfered by the Zhou royal family.

Nominally, Zhou Tianzi was the main king, paid tribute, and fought for the Son of Heaven.

This was the case at first, but it wasn't like that soon.

Zong and Zhou moved eastward, the authority of the Son of Heaven was lost, the vassal states went their own way, the monarch was equal to the Son of Heaven in his own territory, and the Zhou royal family lost its control and influence over the vassal states, and gradually declined.

The centuries-old controversy began, knowing that Qin unified the whole country, abolished the feudal system, and established the county system, which has been more than 400 years now.

The devil knows how the Hongnong Central Imperial Court picked up the sub-feudal system from the garbage heap of history and rewarded the meritorious heroes.

The stakes are huge, and there are many people who don't know what a duke is, what a feudal state is, and what the significance is.

So Guo Peng asked the envoys to stay overnight for the time being, held a banquet to entertain him, and then summoned his subordinates to preach this reward.

The keynote speaker is Guo Jia, who has received an excellent education, and Guo Jia first briefly introduced the basic history of the pre-Qin period and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Then he focused on the meaning of feudal statehood and the meaning of the feudal system.

"In short, the establishment of a feudal state is equivalent to making a general the monarch of a country, which is equivalent to the monarch of the pre-Qin states, the princes of the princes such as the Qi State, the Chu State, the Zhao State, the Wei State, the Yan State, and the edict also sets up hundreds of officials below the prime minister according to the configuration, just like the old system of the pre-Qin period.

In the territory of the principality, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will not interfere in administration, military affairs, tax collection, etc., and all government and military affairs and finances are the responsibility of the monarch, and the monarch needs to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven and follow the orders of the Son of Heaven to lead the army to war. ”

Compared with the civil servants who were more familiar with this period of the past, the generals woke up like a dream, and only then did they understand what happened in the land under their feet four hundred years ago.

And what does this system mean?

Cao Hong was very excited.

"That means that the general is going to be the king?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals who led the troops to the battle began to talk with joy on their faces, and they all felt that this was a very good thing.

What happens in his own territory can't even be interfered with by the emperor of Han, this is equivalent to an independent country, the kind that justifies it, as long as you pay tribute, and then fight a war, it's over!

Their understanding is still relatively rudimentary.

But this does not prevent them from being happy.

They really should be happy.

As Guo Peng's status increases, they will also rise and enhance their status and power.

Guo Peng became the king, couldn't they get the corresponding reward?

"General! That's a great thing! ”

Cao Ren looked at Guo Peng excitedly.

"Congratulations to the general!"

"Congratulations to the General!"

"The general is overjoyed!"

The generals stood up one after another, and Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Gao Ran and other generals expressed their sincere happiness about the occurrence of this incident.

They have almost completed the military's statement, that is, full support.

The ministers did not rush to express their position, but looked at Guo Peng's plain face and carefully figured out Guo Peng's thoughts.

Unlike the generals who had just learned about the history of the feudal system, some of the well-born civil servants had a deep understanding of this history and understood what the process of the birth and demise of the feudal system meant.

It's not simple.

Especially in the Han Dynasty, no one has ever received such a reward, and there is no precedent, Guo Peng has become a precedent, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, no one knows.

So caution is necessary.

Chen Gong suggested Guo Peng very cautiously.

"This matter has a lot to do with it, and it is debatable whether the imperial court has done this for the good of the general, or whether it wants to roast the general on the fire."

"Yes, general, there is no precedent for this matter, although Wang Mang has to be crowned the Duke of Anhan, but he has not been a feudal state, and now such a thing has suddenly happened, and the general has to think carefully."

Xi Zhong also looked at Guo Peng with a serious face.

Guo Peng was silent for a while.

Just now, he saw the attitude of the officials and generals under his command.

The generals of the army are not very sensitive to these things, and as long as their status is raised, they are happy, and this feeling is very simple.

It will be beneficial to me, and if I use it well, it will be my magic weapon to win, but there are also dangers, so I should use it with caution.

The ministers were generally apprehensive about this, but not simply against it, but out of instinctive concern about an unprecedented, fearful that this matter would affect my great cause and cause bad effects, and they were still thinking about me.

Guo Peng is not worried about their loyalty.

At this time, their loyalty can be guaranteed, just because the level of knowledge is uneven, and the level of understanding is also different.

But there is no doubt that at this juncture, every step forward will cause widespread doubts and worries, and how to dispel such doubts and worries is something that must be done.

From this point of view, Guo Peng felt that his previous layout and ideas were very necessary.

One person is too eye-catching, so you have to come together.

Use the muscular men of the Liangzhou Group to tear the world apart, so that the people of the world have no control over the changes in the current situation, let the world get out of control, and let the ambitions of all warlords fly.

Then Guo will harvest all the warlords' ambitions.

Let's have a beautiful unification.

Now is not the time to accept, according to the traditional rule of three concessions, the first time is definitely unacceptable, to refuse.

Then release the news and let the people in his jurisdiction know, so that the scholars, the children of the Han family, and the Li Shu will know.

Then, the propaganda offensive of the public opinion propaganda organs was launched to build momentum, and at the same time, the internal supervision of the Linzi camp was launched, and the scholars and bureaucrats with high resistance were registered and registered, and they were always ready to use suitable reasons to use the excuse of humane destruction.

The establishment of feudal states is imperative, as is political purge.

If this wave is not cleaned, the road in the future will only be more difficult, so this wave will have to carry out an internal ideological integration, select the forces that are oriented to themselves, isolate the forces that have the Han family, and gradually eliminate them, so as to lay a further foundation for themselves.
