Chapter 561: Reward
Nanjing Imperial Palace is adjacent to Taihefang in the north, this is a two-entry house, the house is not big but the layout is unique, it is the mansion of the eunuch Han Zanzhou, the master of ceremonies. During the day, he was on duty in the palace, and after he was on duty, he returned to his own house, and the eunuchs in the palace were like this.
Han Zanzhou, as the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the commander of the Dongchang, lived in such a two-entry courtyard and was already very low-key. However, considering that Han Zanzhou was a eunuch and did not have any wives and concubines, the courtyard of these two entrances was enough to live in.
"Factory Father!" Fang Mingxia walked into the study and bowed to Han Zanzhou.
"Qi Guogong is gone?" Han Zanzhou held the teacup, gently blew the duckweed in the tea, and asked casually.
"Yes, when I went out of the city this morning, there were more than 20 carts and 3,000 personal soldiers escorted, and it took me a stick of incense just to go out of the city." Fang Ming Xia said.
Han Zanzhou nodded, slowly drinking tea, and treated Fang Mingxia's careful thoughts as if he hadn't heard them.
"Factory Gong, I am afraid that the people we have planted in the Pingnan Army have been exposed, many people have been eliminated from the guard battalion, and none of our people can get into the three thousand families of Qi Guogong." Fang Ming Xia said again.
"Expose it, expose it, just withdraw them." Han Zanzhou said casually.
"However, then we will no longer be able to monitor Qi Guogong's movements, do you think we will think of burying some nails under Qi Guogong's hands again?" Fang Ming Xia continued unwillingly.
"Monitoring must continue to monitor, our factory guards are the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and naturally we have to monitor all the movements in the world for the Son of Heaven. However, Qi Guogong is not as good as others, and he must pay attention to proportion. Coercion and inducement to buy his subordinates, don't use such a method, at this time, he is followed by the people he trusts the most, not to mention that if he detects it, it will inevitably cause a strong counterattack. Han Zanzhou commanded lightly.
"But in this way, it will be difficult to control the movements of Qi Guogong." Fang Mingxia is not allowed to use such a method of coercion and inducement, even if he sends people, how can he get close to Chen Yue's side, and how can he control Chen Yue's movements?
"Since the Duke of Qi handed over the military power quickly, His Majesty has felt a little guilty in his heart, so he will be rewarded so generously that he even has a fief, how can a noble in the Ming Dynasty have been treated like this for more than 200 years? Even His Majesty promised in the court that he would marry the princess to him after the filial piety period of Qi Guogong, His Majesty already regarded Chen Yue as his own family member and the most trusted person, and his trust in Qi Guogong was probably above ours.
At this time, if things are done too much and offend the Duke of Qi Guogong, I am afraid that even His Majesty will not let us go. Fang Mingxia, I know that you and Chen Yue have a grudge, I don't care about the previous grievances between you and Chen Yue, but you have to be careful in what you do, if something happens, even I can't protect you! ”
Han Zanzhou put down the tea bowl and beat Fang Mingxia.
Fang Mingxia lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and his compliments should be.
"You have done a lot of credit this time, and you should be rewarded. I know that you value your status as a scholar and have always wanted to go out and become an official. This time, I have found an official position for you as a Zhejiang patrol, there are only seven grades, and you should not be too small. After a slap, Han Zan turned his face and gave another sweet date, which made Fang Mingxia overjoyed.
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, thank you for it, thank you for it!" Fang Ming Xia is incoherent in the Tao.
Patrol press is also known as patrol press imperial history, although the grade is low, but the power is great, on behalf of the Son of Heaven to patrol and supervise the place, major events are judged, small things are decided, and a provincial governor can compete with the figure.
Once this position is vacant, there will be countless imperial historians to break their heads and strive for it, and after completing a term of patrol imperial history, the future career will be smooth sailing. And Fang Mingxia turned out to only have the fame of Xiucai, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be an official, so if he was ordinary, he wouldn't be able to do this position anyway.
But Fang Mingxia made a great contribution to the battle of Wuhu this time, and it was his plan that caused the 20,000 Eight Banner soldiers to be drowned, and Azig also killed himself on the ship. In exchange for such a great merit for an official position of a seven-rank patrol, it is already a bit aggrieved.
"Wang Yin, the head of the household department, will be appointed as the governor of Zhejiang, and after you arrive, you must cooperate with Lord Wang to do a good job in the affairs of Zhejiang Province, and you must not slack off." Han Zanzhou instructed, and the name Xia Lian said yes.
Looking at Fang Mingxia, who was caught in surprise, Han Zanzhou knew that he had now lost the ability to think because of ecstasy, and it was useless to say more, only after calming down could he know his intentions. So he waved his hand, causing Fang Mingxia to withdraw.
Fang Mingxia fell into ecstasy, the whole person was dizzy, and after leaving Han Zanzhou's mansion, he stood on the street, and suddenly felt that he was dreaming. It wasn't until the evening that he came to his senses, smiled at himself, and said that His Majesty has the most trust in Qi Guogong, but he sent himself to Zhejiang as a patrol, and he clearly wanted to continue to supervise and balance him, which shows that in the emperor's heart, Jiangshan Sheji is the most important, where is there a person who absolutely trusts?
Wang Yin was originally a confidant of Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, and now he is serving as the governor of Zhejiang, and he will definitely listen to Chen Yue. Although Chen Yue resigned and kept filial piety, he could control the power of Zhejiang through Wang Yin, and Chen Yue's fiefdom Zhoushan belonged to Zhejiang, so it was estimated that His Majesty and the imperial court were not at ease, so he sent himself over to check and balance.
In the next few days, the imperial court issued a series of orders to reward those who had defeated the two invasions of the Qing army.
Wang Yin, the head of the household department, assisted Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi, in commanding the battle of Wuhu and made meritorious contributions, and the official was promoted to one level, from the third rank of the household department to the second rank of the Zhengfeng doctor, the governor of Zhejiang and other places and the commander of local military affairs.
The Hubu Shilang is only the deputy of the Hubu Shangshu, while the governor of Zhejiang is a feudal official, who controls the military and political power of a province, and his power is much greater than that of the Hubu Shilang. After only two or three years of following Chen Yue, Wang Yin became a feudal official from a mere person!
Yanping prepared Zheng Sen, led the Zheng army to defeat the Qing army of the Boluo Department, and led the fleet to defeat the Qing army in Wuhu, and made great contributions, and was crowned the prefect of Jiujiang. The deputy general Zheng Hongkui made outstanding contributions and was promoted to the general army of Jiujiang and was awarded the title of prisoner.
A month ago, Zheng Sen was just a prisoner in the Guozi Prison District, and in a blink of an eye, he became the prefect of Zhengsipin, which was Chongzhen's reward for leading his troops to reverse the situation of the battle in Nanjing and stabilize the hearts of the people in Nanjing.
Yu Feng, the cavalry battalion of the Pingnan Army, led the cavalry to destroy the battle, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, promoted the general army of Anqing, and was awarded the title of Marquis.
Jin Shenghuan, the chief soldier of the Pingnan Army, made great contributions in Wuhu, Yangzhou, and was appointed as the chief soldier of Fengyang, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Wuning.
In the Battle of Wuhu in Yangzhou, all meritorious soldiers were rewarded, so I will not repeat them one by one.
This time the reward was very strong, and there were three counts alone, two of which were subordinates of Chen Yue, the Duke of Qi.
In a piece of reward, compared with the marquis's general soldiers, Fang Mingxia's mere seven-rank patrol press is not conspicuous.
