In March, the warbler flies and the grass grows.

There had just been a spring rain, and the ground was full of mud.

"Great victory in Western Xinjiang!"

On the muddy road, a fast horse broke into the west gate of the capital at an extremely fast speed and went straight to the direction of the Yamen of the military headquarters.

Feng Zuoliang, the secretary of the military department, took the battle report from the messenger's hand, opened it and looked at it, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

"Great! God forbid! ”

Then, Feng Zuoliang, who came back to his senses, hurriedly instructed the little official: "Hurry up and prepare a car for the old man." No! Hurry up and be horseed, the old man will enter the palace and report to the saint!

Also, hurry up and inform Ning Guogong and let him enter the palace as soon as possible! ”

As he spoke, Feng Zuoliang took the good news and hurriedly left the yamen of the military department with the messenger in the direction of the palace.

In the Donghua Pavilion, Zheng Yongji, who was handling official business, heard that an official below had reported a great victory in Western Xinjiang, so he dared to hesitate, so he put down what he was doing and hurried to the palace.

When Zheng Yongji came to the Qianqing Palace, he saw that Feng Zuoliang, the secretary of the military department, and Ding'an, the prince of Ningguo, had arrived.

Ignoring the greetings, Zheng Yongji bowed to Zhang Lingyang and said, "Your Majesty, just now Weichen heard about the great victory in the Western Xinjiang in the Donghua Pavilion, but I don't know if this matter is true?" ”

Zhang Lingyang bowed his head, with a little excitement on his face, and said: "It is true, half a month ago, Ma Jinzhong, the general of Zhengxi, defeated the Kazakh department at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, annihilating 15,000 enemies and capturing 20,000. ”

"Such a great achievement should not be appreciated. I want to promote Ma Jinzhong as the Marquis of Xining, and return to Beijing to report on his work, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks? ”

"Your Majesty, is this reward a little too generous?" Zheng Yongji hesitated.

"Zheng Ge's words are wrong!" Sun Ding'an frowned and said: "The great victory in Western Xinjiang is the first great victory after His Majesty succeeds to the throne, and it must be exemplary.

The old man thought that giving Ma Jinzhong such a reward could just inspire the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy. ”

"But since the founding of the country, there has never been such a precedent in Da Zhou."

Zheng Yongji retorted, "In the past, such military exploits were not uncommon, but the highest was the title of earl.

Now that Ma Jinzhong has made a lot of contributions, he has been named a marquis, so if he makes greater contributions in the future, how should he be rewarded?

Is it possible to make it a national prince? ”

"What the two Aiqing said makes sense!" After thinking about it, Zhang Lingyang felt that Zheng Yongji's consideration was more far-reaching, so he said: "With my meaning, Ma Jinzhong will be named Xiningbo, and he will be rewarded more in terms of property!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing Zhang Lingyang speak, the two stopped arguing.

Zhang Lingyang said again: "Ma Jinzhong's recital said that the enemy chief Urgan wants to ask me to surrender to Da Zhou, I don't know the opinions of the two?" ”

Sun Dingan said: "The tribes of Western Xinjiang have repeatedly rebelled against my Great Zhou, and they must be treated with caution. ”

Zheng Yongji said: "Weichen doesn't agree with Ning Guogong's opinion.

Although what Fang Cai Ning Guogong said is true, once Urgan is cut down and eradicated, I am afraid that other tribes will think that my Great Zhou is ruthless and ruthless when they see it, and if they want to exterminate it when they rebel in the future, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.

With Weichen's opinion, His Majesty did not let go of Urgan's request to surrender. ”

"What the Duke of Koning Guogong said is also true, it is a fact that the tribes in the western Xinjiang have rebelled, if they can't set an example, I am worried that they will be even more unscrupulous in the future.

It's better to ask Ma Jinzhong to give half of the cattle and sheep of the upper tribe to Urgan in the future, and pay a certain amount of cattle and sheep to my Great Zhou every year in the future.

In this way, the strength of the tribes in Western Xinjiang has been weakened to a certain extent, and they can no longer pose a threat to my Great Zhou, I don't know what a few Aiqing think? ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Neither of them had any opinion on Zhang Lingyang's proposal.

"In that case, Zheng Aiqing, you will immediately draft this holy decree for me."

"The old minister obeys!"

The rebellion in Western Xinjiang was quelled, and the imperial court could save a lot of money.

Today's Great Zhou, in addition to the Miao rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou, is already Haiqing Heyan.

"The Tusi rebellion over there in Yungui, how is it pacified?" Thinking of the Miao rebellion on Yungui's side, Zhang Lingyang asked Sun Dingan again.

Sun Ding'an replied: "Your Majesty, except for a small number of Tusi who are still resisting stubbornly in the deep mountains, most of the areas have been pacified. ”

"That's good!" When Zhang Lingyang heard this, he was very pleased.

Now that Sun Dingan has submitted his name, Zhang Lingyang still trusts him.

Glancing at Sun Ding'an, Zhang Lingyang said: "Ning Guogong, you pass a word to Zhang Guangzhi for me, if he can quell the Miao rebellion in Yunnan and Guizhou within three months, I will crown him as Dingnanbo!" ”

Since he has already sealed a Xiping Bo, Zhang Lingyang naturally won't mind sealing another Dingnan Bo.

Moreover, whether it is Zhang Guangzhi or Ma Jinzhong, they are both members of the noble family, and their relationship with Sun Ding'an is extraordinary, so Zhang Lingyang is naturally more willing to be promoted.

As for whether Sun Dingan will not be able to lose his tail in the future, Zhang Lingyang has never been worried about this issue.

Not to mention that there are only three or two large and small cats that can be used now.

Especially last year, due to the ticket number in Jinzhong, the Dingguo Mansion declined, and the Marquis of Changle and the Marquis of Rong'an were beheaded.

used to be the four princes of the Great Wednesday, but now there are only two dukes and two marquis left.

But among the two princes and two princes, except for Ningguo Gongsun Ding'an, who is a capable person in the country, the remaining Anguo Duke Wang Guowei and Anle Hou Yang Jia are all mud that can't support the wall.

If it weren't for the fact that they 'bribed' Zhang Lingyang through the women in their families, I am afraid that the current situation would be worse than that of the Dingguo Mansion.

After all, even though the Dingguo Mansion has declined, Jiang Cheng is still a super-grade prince of the Great Zhou, and he is highly respected, and his prestige among the royal family and nobles is not even inferior to Sun Ding'an.

Besides, even if the power of the nobles will not be lost in the future, Zhang Lingyang can balance the nobles by supporting the civil officials again.

What's more, Zheng Yongji, who has just been promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, has faint signs of competing with Sun Dingan.

Then this means that today's Xungui group has no other power except military power, especially the power of money and food.

Zhang Lingyang believes that as long as the power of money and food is always firmly in his hands, no one should want to make even a splash.

What's more, Long Xiangwei, Hu Xiangwei and Jinyiwei, who belong to the private soldiers of the Son of Heaven, are not vegetarians.

In particular, Long Xiang and Hu Xiang have always been firmly in the hands of Zhang Lingyang.

Although the number of Long Xiang and Hu Xiang is small, they control the biggest weapon of mass destruction in the Great Zhou: firearms.

Especially after the successful development of the grenade, Zhang Lingyang believes that even in the face of dozens of times the number of troops, the two guards of Longxiang and Huxiang can still occupy an absolute advantage.

This is where Zhang Lingyang's self-confidence lies.

Of course, if Zhang Lingyang can select a group of capable people in the next martial arts competition, it will be even more fearless......
