672 rewards
The 50,000 or so rebels who rushed into the mountains and forests have basically surrendered. The greatest credit for this is the land policy promulgated by Emperor Chongzhen.
The next thing is to continue to advance south and sort out the entire territory of Yunnan.
The rest of the story is much simpler than before. Many serfs in the Tusi territory had surrendered at this time. And knowing that as long as the land belongs to the imperial court, then they can get the land from the original land master, and they will have their own land in the future, and they can also be exempted from taxes, such a good thing, it can be said that the enthusiasm of these people is the highest.
The imperial army was guided by them as the vanguard, and it was nothing at all that the roads were inaccessible, the mountains and dense forests, and the miasma and poisonous smoke were not at all. At this time, the last thing they want to happen to the imperial army is them.
Some of the large and small Tusi who fled back originally thought of relying on the advantage of the terrain to deal with the imperial army. As a result, the imperial army was real, and the autumn wind swept away the leaves, sweeping all the way from south to north. Even many large and small Tusi were tied up by their original serfs before the arrival of the imperial army and sent to the imperial army to receive rewards.
The pace of this stride forward caught Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, a little unprepared, and they simply couldn't send so many magistrates to govern the newly established prefectures and counties. As a last resort, the chapter was handed to Emperor Chongzhen, and the boss still had to solve these things.
In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to urgently dispatch a group of cadres from neighboring provinces to set up the yamen shelf first. Then he sent outstanding students from the Guozi Supervisor in the north and south of Beijing, as well as the Jinshi and people from the Ministry of Officials to come to Yunnan.
A month later, there was basically no trace of the traitors in the whole territory of Yunnan. It's like the huge Tusi Rebellion in Yunnan, which has never happened at all.
It was only at this time that Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to reward meritorious deeds.
Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, is very old, and has mentioned to return to his hometown before the reward, so he was named the imperial history of the left capital, presented the prince Taibao, and promoted his son Wu Yingxi to be born in the same jinshi, and is one of the many county orders in Yunnan.
Qin Liangyu, the commander of the White Pole Army, also has white temples, but he has been fighting for the Ming Dynasty. The hard work is high, and it is a rare female general since ancient times, Emperor Chongzhen sighed his loyalty and made him a loyal marquis.
In the original history, Qin Liangyu was only a second-grade lady in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and she waited until she was the time before the Southern Ming Dynasty posthumously awarded her as a loyal marquis. But in this life, he got the title alive, and he became a marquis. It can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen appreciated Qin Liangyu.
Next is the hussar general, the commander of the envoy, and the stone pillar consolation envoy Ma Xianglin. In the original history, when he was in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, he was loyal to the country and died on the battlefield! Now, not only is he alive and well, but he was also named a loyal and brave man by Emperor Chongzhen.
One family has two titles, and they are also loyal and brave, this is the very high treatment given to them by Emperor Chongzhen.
Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu are Tusi, that is, nominally the Xuanhui envoys of the imperial court, but this time, they were also named Shiping Bo and Wei'e Bo by Emperor Chongzhen, each named after their territories.
Taking this as a reference, all the toasts who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty will be renamed earls. Of course, the treatment between the earl and the earl is still different. Xiang Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu have made meritorious contributions, and other rewards will be given according to the size of their merits.
Mu Tianbo is already the Duke of Qianguo, and on the side of the Ming Dynasty, he has never been crowned a king with a different surname, and the Duke of Guo is already at the top. However, this time, Mu Tianbo's contribution was not small, not only defending Kunming City, but also responsible for supplying the money and food of the Imperial Forest Army. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen named his grandmother, Mrs. Song, his mother Chen, and his wife Jiao as the first, second and third grade of the wife. and named his second son Mu Zhongliang as the Dian Dibo.
This time, Emperor Chongzhen sealed many titles in one go. It is also thanks to the fact that none of these titles are hereditary, so he would be so generous, otherwise, he would never have given so many titles.
Of course, there are rewards for other soldiers, and those who are rewarded according to normal military merits are not directly announced in front of the emperor.
The total soldiers who went out with the car this time were Huang Degong, Cao Bianjiao, and Zhou Yuji, to be honest, they were a little jealous, so many titles did not have their share. However, they also knew that this war was as easy as before, and according to the experience of the north, the credit for this kind of war was small.
However, they are still looking forward to the upcoming war to destroy the country of Donggo. Because according to experience, in this kind of war to destroy the country, the emperor will definitely be knighted. Perhaps, when their class teacher returns to Beijing, it will be the title of earl.
After the reward was completed, Emperor Chongzhen took the Imperial Forest Army, and Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, led some elite Qin troops, a total of 30,000 horses, plus Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu led a small number of soldiers and horses to continue to the south with the army, and officially began the war against Dongwu.
…………
Dongwu was the Donghu Dynasty at this time, the second dynasty to unify this region, and it can also be said that it was powerful for a while, not only occupying a lot of the Ming Dynasty, but also driving the Portuguese away and hanging the governor.
It's just that the years of war have also caused the livelihood of the Donghu Dynasty to wither, and the national strength has weakened day by day. After Talong ascended the throne as king, he realized this and began the famous era of recuperation and recuperation in the Donggo region.
If the original history develops, King Talong's life is basically spent in recuperation. It's just that in this plane, when the continuous recuperation and recuperation made the Donghu Dynasty strong again, I happened to see the Ming Yunnan region again, and the rebellious toasts sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even the toasts came to contact, which made King Long's heart stir again.
In his first three terms, that is, in the era of Mang Yingli, he had been at war with the Ming State, although he was once defeated by the Ming generals at that time the capital Ava, but the final result was that Dongwu occupied a large territory such as Mengyang and Mubang in the Ming Dynasty.
The area of rule of the two Xuanwei Divisions of Mong Yang and Mu Bang is equivalent to the vast area north of today's Bhamo and Khai Thai in Burma, east of the Naga Mountains and northeastern Shan State, which is often referred to as the northern part of Burma. Such a large area has become a part of the Donghu Dynasty and has become the merit of Mangyingli, I have to say that this makes Long also very envious.
Now, Yunnan itself is in a mess in the Ming Kingdom, and of course King Long will not miss such a good opportunity, so he sent his henchman Tai Taitun to lead his troops to Yunnan to fish in troubled waters, hoping to occupy a few more pieces of territory.
Ever since the departure of the Taytaytun army, King Talong has been waiting for good news. At the beginning, the Tusi coalition army, which had heard of the rebellion in China, had even surrounded the capital of Yunnan, Kunming, and the Duke of Qianguo, who had previously shocked Yunnan, was helpless. For this reason, King Ta Long was in a hurry, and he also sent a special envoy to urge Tai Tai Tun to march quickly, and at the same time asked him to raise the asking price, so as to get more benefits from this incident.
If this is done, then King Tataron will not only recuperate and make Dongwu strong again, but even expand his territory, and will definitely become the most promising king in the history of the Donghu Dynasty.
What is the purpose of recuperation, isn't it just to make the kingdom strong! And what is the purpose of becoming strong, isn't it to expand the territory and become a king with a wider territory!
Thinking like this, King Ta Long couldn't even wait, so he simply set up Ava and waited for Taitaitun to deliver the good news.
The so-called good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. These mentalities of King Ta Long should not be too obvious, and his courtiers naturally do what he likes, and tell him the good things he wants to hear every day.
"King, now that my Dongwu soldiers are strong and strong, they are not comparable to before, and I will definitely be able to expand my territory again this time!"
"Yes, maybe one day in the future, I, Dongwu, will be able to occupy the entire Yunnan of the Ming Dynasty. The king will also become the king of the ages who will go down in history in my cave! ”
"What occupies the whole of Yunnan? Under the wise rule of the king, with the strength of the soldiers and horses of the king, as long as my king is willing, it will not be a problem to occupy the entire Ming Kingdom! ”
“……”
For these sycophants, King Ta Long was happy at the beginning, and he also refuted some of them that were obviously exaggerated, such as: "You wait for Hugh to talk nonsense, do you know how old Ming Guo is?" This king still knows this, don't think about occupying the entire Ming Kingdom! ”
But I heard a lot of good words, although he rejected some sycophants, but he couldn't stand these sycophants like the water of the Yellow River, the waves were endless, and after hearing it, he didn't refute those exaggerated sycophants, he listened with a smile.
Sometimes, if you talk too much, you will even believe yourself.
Later, the courtiers of the king of Taron began to covet the official positions in the newly occupied land. Although it is impossible to occupy the entire Ming Kingdom, and it is a bit reluctant to occupy the entire Yunnan, at least close to Dongwu's territory, you can always win a few pieces, right?
In any case, the land of Yunnan in the Ming Kingdom is much richer than that of Dongwu. These courtiers of King Talong began to speak to King Long in different ways, and they thought of asking King Ta Long to make them officials in the newly occupied territory.
In the midst of their quarrel, one day, this situation was broken.
On this day, King Taron hunted outside the city of Ava. Although he was old, he didn't expect that he would be a hundred shots and hit a lot of prey. This put him in a good mood and returned to Ava with his prey. However, as soon as he reached the city gate, he heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping towards him. The courtiers reminded him, turned his head and saw that he was coming from the north.
When King Talong saw it, he simply stopped leaving, stood on the head of Ava City, and waited with a smile for what good news would come back this time?
