Chapter 128: Reward
With Zhao Zongwu leading the army into the capital, it took him a very short time to grasp the overall situation, and with the help of various plans made before, he not only successfully destroyed Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji, but also crushed the little emperor Zhu Ciran's heart that wanted to grasp the imperial power.
Because Zhao Zongwu has been committed to leading his troops and horses to pacify the stability of the frontier region over the years, it may be said that he has been in a passive situation politically over the years, but this also makes him have a more stable foundation than Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xi, and Zhang Zhiji!
It is precisely because Zhao Zongwu has such a foundation that he can grasp the overall situation in such a short time.
The reason why he chose to besiege the capital for several months, and never captured it as soon as possible, was to weaken the power of the gentry of the Ming Dynasty and lay a solid foundation for subsequent governance.
"It's finally come to this!"
Zhao Zongwu was wearing a big red robe, surrounded by the ministers, step by step to the position only three meters away from the dragon chair, looking at the little emperor Zhu Ciran sitting on the dragon chair with a blank expression, the tiger eyes narrowed slightly, and the momentum on his body was inadvertently revealed.
The outpouring of this momentum made the little emperor Zhu Ciran, who was expressionless, sit up straight like a frightened bird, and his eyes showed a little timidity......
"Regardless of whether you Zhu Ciran is disguised or a real performance, my father will not give you any chance, the dragon chair under your seat will be my father's !! sooner or later."
Thinking of these in his heart, Zhao Zongwu looked at the ministers indifferently.
Today's court, after a simple combing, has completely become Zhao Zongwu's court.
Since it is a transition from a local regional regime to a national regime, Zhao Zongwu will inevitably bring all those institutions in between to the capital, and only by bringing them all to the capital can the regime be permanent.
"After several days of discussion, after obtaining the approval of His Majesty, this Duke made a reward, this reward is not only limited to the suppression of the Jiannu forces this time, but also includes the merits obtained in the previous wars that began in the year of the Apocalypse. Looking at the ministers in the hall, Zhao Zongwu said in a sonorous tone!
Because Zhao Zongwu's basic plate lies in the army, so after he obtains supreme power, he must give feedback to those generals and officials who follow him, otherwise what are people desperate for?
Shine for love?
Stop it!
It's not realistic!
"Zhao Zongwu, the Duke of Dingguo, started in the second year of the Apocalypse, rescued Guangning, broke the trick of Jiannu, solved the financial crisis of the imperial court, led the army to counterattack Liaodong, and regained the lost land. Over the years, I have fought with Jiannu, and constantly counterattacked Jiannu, so that the territory lost by my Ming Dynasty finally returned to my Ming Dynasty through bloody battles. In this process, Dingguo Gong successively killed Du Du, Amin, Huang Taiji and other high-level Jiannu leaders, and then fought Dingliaodong, recovered Liaodong, and made the Jiannu chieftain die on the way to the battle! Later, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty was in danger, breaking the conspiracy of various factions, adhering to the last wish of the first emperor, and being ordered to assist the government. In the face of the aggressive trend of the rebels, he did not resist it, but led his troops to extinguish the Liukou in order to continue to save the Ming Dynasty. During the period, the plague of Shaanxi was eliminated, and the famine in Shanxi was solved for many years, and in order to ensure the permanence of the Ming frontier, the nine border towns were rectified with their own strength. In the face of many unfavorable situations, Dingguo Gong was not discouraged, but relied on the spirit of Haoran to save the Ming Dynasty in the crisis, and then integrated the soldiers and horses under his command, and in one fell swoop leveled the disaster of nearly a hundred years of slavery for the Ming Dynasty! In the face of such feats, he was specially promoted to the king of the town, and was given an iron coupon for the Danshu and an auxiliary government! ”
Since it is to expand the interest group, then first of all, we must improve our status, otherwise how to reward as many subordinates as possible?
With the passage of time, the generals and officials under Zhao Zongwu have already occupied more than ninety percent of the people in the Ming Dynasty!
At this point, if you are stingy, then you are really stupid.
In this way, Zhao Zongwu became the opposite sex prince of the Ming Dynasty for the first time, and in the face of such a situation, although there were several clown-like civil officials who stood up and scolded Zhao Zongwu for being a rebel, but with the dispatch of Jinyiwei, the court with this croaking voice returned to calm again.
"In order to consolidate my Daming society and revitalize the majesty, I have clearly divided the titles, the dukedoms, marquises, and earls of the country are all divided into first-class dukes, second-class dukes, and third-class dukes, marquises, and earls of the Ming Kingdom, all of whom are third-class dukes!"
Now that he has mastered the general trend, Zhao Zongwu must weaken the power of Daming Quanxun as much as possible, so it is only appropriate to weaken it with the help of this promotion.
Also in order to reflect the dignity of the title, Zhao Zongwu did not infinitely seal the title in this reward, everything was carried out in accordance with the strict reward system.
"Feng, Zu Dashou, Mao Wenlong, Fan Tianxiong, Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa, Cao Wenzhao, He Huchen, Li Yun, Man Gui, Ma Shilong, Liu Xingzuo, Ye Chao are first-class marquises."

In this way, a reward involving hundreds of people, in an unheard of situation, was rewarded by Zhao Zongwu several times, and it belonged to them.
If before that, there was still a slight chance for them to repeat, but after this reward, the above-mentioned people were completely branded by Zhao Zongwu's family!
Because it is necessary to reflect the dignity of the title, so this time Zhao Zongwu did not seal out a duke, after all, in the following years, there are still many wars, give them a high title now, what will they be crowned in the future?
You can't give them a cup of poisoned wine!
Such a despicable method is not something that Zhao Zongwu can do.
But even so, after Zhao Zongwu's reward came down, it still shocked the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, because there was no such precedent at all, when did there be so many titles and rewards!
Of course, unlike the previous rewards, Zhao Zongwu's clear title rewards do not exist in Huaxia, and for their land rewards, the income will be rewarded in the second Chinese equivalent circles such as the Nanyang region, the Wadao region, and the Siberian region.
Although it is said that the territory of China is vast, in the future of China, it will inevitably experience a large population explosion, so Zhao Zongwu must leave enough territory.
Besides, the steam age has not really come, and the electric age is a distant thing, so in the face of such a situation, in addition to the territory that will be laid down outside, let the pioneers of the Chinese clan control it, occupy the key places, and develop in the future, the world will completely become a Sinicized rule, which can be regarded as a strong existence in the real sense!!
