Chapter 578: Nanyang Hero
On November 15, Yunxi naturally did not know that on the same day, the king of Fusang received 180,000 taels of gold, nor did he know that Joseon had reached an agreement with Yongfan to sell his labor, and he did not know that Xu Zengshou and Qin Sen led troops to eliminate the Jurchens who did not submit to Wanghua, and that the spread of Taoism in Yongfan had achieved initial results. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he still followed his own plan, and after having lunch and taking a nap, he summoned He Rong, Zhang Xiaodong and other generals of the Nanyang Dispatch Army who finally returned.
In fact, at the beginning of this year, the war in Sumatra had ended, and Yun Xi accepted the request of the Majapahit envoy to resubmit to pay tribute in the first month, and after the Majapahit envoy returned to the country, his monarch ordered the troops still in the Su domain to surrender, and after collecting their weapons, they were repatriated to Java.
But the seas are not calm. Southeast Asia was too chaotic, and Yun Xi was unwilling to let the sailors clear the pirates far from the Daming coastline for some purpose, so in order to ensure that the coasts of the Pu and Su domains were not disturbed, the four Wei sailors had to wait until the sailors from Guangdong and Fujian provinces who did not resist the arrival of the Nanyang sailors returned to the mainland.
Yun Xi watched the twists and turns of Zhu Di and others these days, while waiting for them to meet. When he saw Zhu Di's report that he wanted to surrender Chen Zuyi, he sighed: "Good idea." ”
Of course, Chen Zuyi didn't want to be a thief against Daming, but since he became a pirate instead of choosing to join Daming as a sailor general, he once intended to deceive Zheng He and seize the sailor's fleet in history, which shows that he is not a good type.
However, Zhu Di is also not a good type, Yun Xi looked at him and wrote, 'I plan to allow Chen Zuyi to continue to control the people of the original department, seal the officials and pay salaries, but I must not intrude on the people of Su Fan and Pu Domain, and Su Fan will send troops to follow when he sends troops to fight', etc., giving Chen Zuyi great autonomy, and he knows that Zhu Di will clean him up sooner or later.
Yun Xi then criticized: "Brother Wang (Zhu Gaoxu) can be self-dictatorated, and there is no need to report to the court." ”
This kind of thing depends on the means of Zhu Di's father and son, and he doesn't care.
As soon as he wrote this sentence, Huang Futong reported: "Your Majesty, Dongguan Bo He Rong and Jin Shanwei commander Zhang Xiaodong have arrived outside the Qianqing Gate with the three generals who have made great contributions to the Battle of Majapahit. ”
"Quick, let them in." Yun Xi put down his pen and said.
As soon as he 'packed' the folds to another table, He Rong and the others came in, knelt down and said, "Minister He Rong has seen Your Majesty. Others also said.
After the salute was finished, Yun Xi first said to He Rong, "I heard that you have contracted a disease in the old port? Are you healed now? ”
He Rong was a little moved by Yun Xi's concern for his condition first: Under normal circumstances, the emperor would ask how the health of the generals with troops was after asking about the matter, he was not a petty official, but he had only seen Zhu Yuanzhang ask for warmth before Xu Da and Chang Yuchun returned from the war, so he was a little moved - his status was far inferior to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun back then.
He said: "Your Majesty asked, the disease has long been cured, and there is no root cause left. ”
"That's good." Yun Xi said.
After that, he pulled a few more words and began to get down to business.
But he had already learned about the whole war through the song and the messengers in batches, and he only asked a few points at the moment, and there was nothing to ask about their dealings with the country in Nanyang.
Yun Xi therefore said directly: "He Rong listens to the order. ”
He Rong knelt down and listened to Yunxi continue: "Dongguan Bo He Rong, overcoming thorns and thorns,......, has made great contributions, sealing the old Ganghou, hereditary replacement, Lu 2,000 stones. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Rong kowtowed a little excitedly and said. It is generally believed that fighting in the South Seas is not dangerous at all, so it is difficult for him to be sure whether he can be promoted to the knighthood, and maybe he will only add some money. Now I know that I have been crowned a marquis, and I am very happy.
"Zhang Xiaodong listens to the order." Yun Xi faced Zhang Xiaodong again.
He also hurriedly knelt down.
"Jin Shanwei commanded Zhang Xiaodong,......, command Ruoding, outstanding merit, was crowned hereditary commander, and was promoted to the governor of the capital of Yijiang."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Zhang Xiaodong said.
Yun Xi added He Rong as a marquis to show that he attached great importance to Nanyang, so he was promoted; But the title can't be rewarded indiscriminately, otherwise it won't be worth much, so Zhang Xiaodong and Hua Ying are both hereditary commanders.
Of course, Zhu Gaoxu asked the imperial court to allow him to crown Huaying as the earl of the Su domain, but Yunxi still had some scruples about adding titles to the vassal state, although it was agreed that they had this power, but they still rejected it, and affirmed that they only had the right to crown the title of the locals.
After that, Yun Xi smiled and said: "He Qing, these young talents who are following you, I already know their merits and names in the report, but they don't match me, why didn't He Qing introduce them to me?" ”
He Rong didn't expect Yun Xi to turn to other topics so quickly, and hurriedly said, "The minister will introduce it to Your Majesty." ”
He first pointed to a person behind him and said: "This person's name is Ma Zhong, who was originally the deputy Qianhu of Donghaiwei, and this time he served as a guerrilla general in the army. ”
"In the naval battle against Majapahit, he commanded a medium-sized ship of several hundred materials to knock over the enemy's multi-search boat, sank three medium-sized ships, and captured one medium-sized ship, which was bloodied through armor and almost died, but was rescued by luck."
"Not bad." Yunxi said, "You are doing well. If the generals of the Ming Dynasty are like you, how can the Ming not win the battle. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to be." Ma Zhong said: "However, this time, the soldiers of the Nanyang Dispatch Army are all fighting bravely, and the last general is just a fluke to make war exploits, and it is not worthy of such praise from Your Majesty." ”
"How to deserve it, I said you deserve it." Yun Xi said. And as soon as he was happy, he wrote four words on the spot, 'Loyal and brave man', to reward Ma Zhong.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Ma Zhong said. Then with trembling hands, he took the ink treasure in Yun Xi's hand.
Zhang Xiaodong looked at this ink treasure, and his eyes were red. Your Majesty gives the word, as long as the Ming Dynasty is not extinguished, this is a family heirloom that can be passed down from generation to generation; Even if the descendants made any mistakes, the emperor at that time would also reduce the punishment as appropriate for the sake of these words given by the previous emperor, which was more effective than the hereditary position.
He Rong's performance is okay, he turned out to be an earl, and he has Zhu Yuanzhang and Yunxi's ink treasure at home, but he is also a little hot-eyed: although he has Yun Xi's ink treasure, it is just a couplet, not as good as these words.
He Rong and the others calmed down at the scene, pointed to one person and continued to introduce: "Your Majesty, this person's name is Huang Guangyang, Dinghaiwei General Banner, he is very skilled in operating artillery, and has sunk many ships; After the Majapahit jumped into the gang, they killed more than a dozen people in a bloody battle with them, and were seriously injured and rescued by luck. ”
Yun Xi also praised him a few words, but did not reward Mobao. Mobao is the same as the knighthood, and it can't be rewarded more.
After that, it was the last person who was personally received by Yun Xi this time - Li Jiqian.
