After reading it, Zhengde slapped his thigh excitedly and said loudly:

"It's wonderful! These Franc robbers have finally been beaten away, and I'm in a much better mood! ”

At this time, Gu Dayong, Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and others, who were originally serving in the leopard room, chased out one by one and surrounded Emperor Zhengde. I heard that there was a big victory in Liangguang, and a few sycophants rushed to pat the sycophants and slapped Emperor Zhengde out laughing.

Zhengde, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and said:

"Wang Aiqing has made such a great achievement, I want to knight him!"

Liang Chu, Jiang Mian, and Mao Ji were all taken aback, you must know that once he was knighted, Wang Feng suddenly changed from a civil minister to a martial artist, and was no longer allowed to hold a civilian position. But the three of them are optimistic about Wang Feng and plan to promote him, how can they watch him become a martial artist?

Historically, after Wang Shouren was made an earl, it was difficult for him to serve as a civil official anymore, so he could only return to his hometown to give lectures, and then improve his mental studies. Even when he later returned, he served as a governor to quell the rebellion.

But Wang Feng is not the same as Wang Shouren, Wang Shouren is actually not very popular among civil officials, and belongs to the alternative among civil officials. Therefore, there is no one to protect Wang Shouren. But Wang Hong is different, people already know about the drill camp, and they are regarded as their own by the civilian group. Moreover, he defeated the Portuguese with the most admired tactics of the civil officials to defeat the enemy, and the three Liang and Prince Liang were all relatively upright ministers, so they naturally wanted to protect Wang Hong's political future.

So, Liang Chu said:

"Your Majesty, you can't, Wang Xuanzhi is a civil minister, how can he be awarded a martial honor? Once he was awarded the rank of martial artist, he would no longer be able to serve as a civil official and serve the imperial court! ”

Zhengde was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was really the case. So, he asked rhetorically:

"So what do you say? He has made such a great contribution, there must be a suitable reward! ”

Gu Dayong, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others responded loudly and agreed with Zhengde's statement.

Jiang Mian thought for a while and said:

"Why don't you skip the level and promote his official position, and then allow his son to be a hereditary military attaché?"

This is also a way to reward civilian officials, some military merits, civilian officials cannot receive themselves, otherwise they will have to be transferred from their posts. Therefore, in addition to the promotion reward in his own position, the civil official Enyin Yizi is often allowed to be a hereditary general.

However, this favor is often given to the son of the civil official who cannot study. After all, no one dares to guarantee that their sons are good at reading and can take the imperial examination. Therefore, having a hereditary martial arts grace is also a guarantee of wealth.

At this time, Mao Ji also said loudly:

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait until after the prisoner sacrifice ceremony? You know, that's more than 3,300 ghosts, offering prisoners in front of the Taimiao, which will definitely boost my Ming national prestige! ”

Mao Ji's original intention was to avoid letting Zhengde make a decision with a pat on the head. As long as the matter is delayed, it is not the cabinet that has the final say in the end?

Sure enough, when it came to the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, Zhengde was energetic and asked:

"Are there really 3,351 ghosts? All of them are yellow-haired and blue-eyed, like the big duke of the North Sea, Marin? ”

Liang Chu replied:

"According to the messenger, there are also a lot of black-haired people, but they are all high noses, and the color of their eyes is different from that of the Ming Dynasty, so you can know that they are ghosts at a glance!"

"That's good, it just so happens that the leopard room hasn't seen anyone fight yet. If it is according to the people of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely be scolded to death by your group of civil officials. Well, when the time comes, I'll let those ghosts fight in the leopard room, are you okay? Zhengde, who especially likes to watch gladiatorial fights, suddenly planned to let the more than 3,000 Portuguese prisoners of war fight in the leopard room to show him......

The poor Portuguese didn't know that their prisoners of war, Zhengde didn't even give a chance to spend money to redeem them, and were directly dragged to be gladiators. However, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty did not regard these Francophiles as people, so they acquiesced in the absurd behavior of Zhengde.

Because the Ming Dynasty refused the Portuguese's demand to redeem the prisoners of war, the relationship between the two countries could not be eased, which made Marin laugh for a long time......

……

In the evening, Liang Chu returned home and received a private letter from Wang Hong. After reading MeSign, Liang Chu not only praised:

"Wang Xuanzhi is really a person of my generation, so for the sake of the court, he is really a virtuous minister! Such a pillar of talent, I will protect it! ”

And Yang Yiqing, the secretary of the ministry, also received a secret letter after returning home. After reading the secret letter, Yang Yiqing also admired Wang Hong's approach of "taking the overall situation into account" very much, and planned to escort him.

Subsequently, both of them wrote a reply letter and sent a family member to hand it over to Wang Hong's messenger, who lived at the post station. In the letter, the two highly praised Wang Hong's behavior of "taking the overall situation into account" and directly promised that they would definitely help him speak. In this way, Wang Feng also had a great opportunity to hug the thighs of the two bigwigs.

On the second day's regular morning court, Liang Chu announced the good news of the "Deep Water Bay Victory" at the regular meeting of the early dynasty, which attracted cheers from the courtiers.

Emperor Zhengde was also high-spirited, after all, it was also him, the emperor, who "led well" to defeat a powerful enemy. The ministers also had the eyesight to congratulate Zhengde, which made Emperor Zhengde secretly happy.

At this time, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department, suddenly put forward a suggestion - he suggested that the 1,800 captured Portuguese arquebuses and about 300 Franc machine guns unloaded or salvaged from the ship should not be transported back to Beijing immediately, but should be transported to the nearby Fujiang area to exterminate the rebel army of Fujiang Wang Gongxun.

You must know that at present, in the Fujiang area of Guangdong, in order to suppress Wang Gongxun's peasant uprising, Chen Jinzheng, the governor of Liangguang, is leading 100,000 troops in Liangguang and Huguang to attack in six ways. However, because Wang Gongxun's strength is strong and he is familiar with the terrain, there is no result for the time being.

You must know that in the original history, Wang Gongxun's uprising was not completely suppressed until November of the 12th year of Zhengde (1517). In other words, Chen Jin's side will fight for more than a year. After all, it was only the summer of 1516, and it was still early for the winter of 1517.

And if 1,800 arquebuses and more than 300 Franco cannons captured from the Portuguese were transported to the front line, it would definitely be greatly conducive to the suppression of Wang Gongxun's rebel army. After all, the peasant rebels had little firepower to speak of. If Chen Jin had such powerful firepower, he would definitely be able to speed up the progress of suppressing bandits.

After Wang Qiong finished speaking, Jiang Mian gave Wang Qiong a grateful look. Why? Because Chen Jin is Jiang Mian's father-in-law......

Wang Qiong's proposal to send those muskets and artillery to the front line was tantamount to helping Chen Jin and making him speed up the pace of quelling the uprising. Chen Jin, the governor of Liangguang, who was responsible for suppressing the peasant uprising, was the father-in-law of the second assistant Jiang Mian. Wang Qiong's move, in addition to helping to suppress the bandits, hopes that the suppression of the bandits will end as soon as possible, and the reason for saving military spending is both inside and outside, and it also has the intention of currying favor with the second assistant Jiang Mian.

Wang Qiong was the secretary of the military department at the beginning of Zhengde's ten years, and he has only served for less than a year. After he heard about Wang Hong's deeds, while admiring Wang Hong's ability, he was also worried that he would be replaced by Wang Hong. After all, Wang Hong's record is too dazzling.

At this time, he proposed to leave the batch of guns for Chen Jin to take to suppress the bandits, which was tantamount to currying favor with the second assistant Jiang Mian. In this way, Jiang Mian will admit his affection, and then protect him, the secretary of the military department......

However, the DPRK and the Chinese people also agreed that this proposal was very good. After all, not to mention the 1,800 arquebuses, the more than 300 Francophone cannons alone could collapse the peasant rebel army when they were pulled to the front of the battle......

Emperor Zhengde and the ministers of the central government both hoped to end the "suppression of bandits" on the Fujiang side as soon as possible in order to save and grab grain. After all, the daily consumption of grain and grass by an army of 100,000 is a staggering number. Therefore, both Zhengde and the ministers of the DPRK and China agreed to Wang Qiong's proposal, and sent all the arquebuses and Franco cannons captured from the Portuguese to the front line of Fujiang and handed them over to Chen Jin, the governor of Liangguang, so that he could defeat Wang Gongxun's peasant rebel army as soon as possible......
