Chapter 691: Knighthood

Chongzhen's attitude towards the Japanese mission set the tone, which was difficult to change, and the first assistant Zhou Yanru rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Shaobao's expedition to the east of the Japanese kingdom and this miraculous feat, the imperial court should be rewarded!" ”

Chongzhen nodded and said, "Aiqing's words are reasonable, so how should I reward them?" ”

Meritorious service must be rewarded, in order to show the majesty of the court, not to mention that you have to ask for money from Wang Yue, the court must always show some attitude to show sincerity.

Zhou Yanru said: "The minister suggested that Wang Shaobao be awarded the Guanglu doctor, honor the left pillar country, and entitle his mother Li and his wife Zhang as Mrs. Yipin." ”

Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "Wang Sihua has made many great contributions to the country, contributed a lot to the imperial court, and now he has conquered the country in the east.

Spread my will to give Wang Yue the title, say loyal and loyal uncle, give coupons, give iron coupons, and eat 1,000 stones. He was awarded the title of Doctor Guanglu, honored Zuo Zhuguo, and enshrined his mother Li and his wife Zhang as Mrs. Yipin.

His brother Wang Zhuo, awarded the general of Dingguo, the commander of the army, and the son of Yin, Jinyi Wei Baihu.

Li Zixiong, awarded the hussar general, Yin Yizi Jinyi Wei General Banner.

The meritorious service personnel of his ministry will be verified by the military department and rewarded for meritorious service. ”

A series of wills were issued, Zhou Yanru and the others were stunned, but they didn't expect Wang Yue to be crowned an uncle, and he also received iron coupons, this is a hereditary knighthood, not a liujue.

Since Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, the knighthood is definitely a small probability event, but the officials who have been removed from their posts and investigated have been arrested.

However, with Wang Yue's merits, it was enough to be knighted, but because he was worried that his merits would not be rewarded, it was delayed until now. The tens of millions of taels of silver obtained by Wang Yue's expedition to Japan were the biggest motivation for Chongzhen's knighthood.

Anyway, the chips are thrown out, so you can do it.

The eunuch on duty took the dragon and snake and wrote down the emperor's will one by one, Emperor Chongzhen took it and watched, nodded with satisfaction, saw Zhou Yanru and others looked sluggish, and said loudly: "I just want to tell the world that those who are loyal and fearless, and win glory for the country, I will not hesitate to reward!" ”

Zhou Yanru and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, so they had to bow down and shout: "The emperor is sage." ”

They also smelled something, and the title given to Wang Yue was "Loyal Uncle", which was easy to understand, which meant to remind Wang Yue that he should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so the courtiers had no reason to object.

————

The thirteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, May 6, 1640.

The Songjin War between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which lasted for two years in history, broke out at this point in time, but with Wang Yue inciting butterfly wings, this war has disappeared.

The southern suburbs of the capital were formerly the campus of Jingying University.

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

After the gorgeous Son of Heaven's honor guard passed, Chongzhen rode in his yellow Cadillac car to inspect the newly established Xinjing camp in the midst of a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis shouting long live.

The original Jingying has been completely disbanded, and Wang Yue has fooled him into the Royal Road Construction Company, no one wants to continue to stay in Beijing, and no one can resist the temptation of the road construction company's generous treatment.

Therefore, the Beijing camp dispersed in a hurry, and the building was empty.

The Beijing camp is scattered, but the Beijing division can't do without its own defense force, and Chongzhen has no sense of security only by relying on the city defense force of less than 10,000 people under the eunuch of the Admiral Jiumen.

The starting point city is close at hand, the Tiance army is extremely strong, and Chongzhen's mood to rebuild the Beijing camp has become very urgent.

Over the years, Chongzhen has become more wealthy, and the reconstruction of Beijing has been put on the agenda.

After the dissolution of the Beijing camp, the saved expenses became the starting capital for the reconstruction of the Beijing camp, and with the input of Chongzhen's internal funds, the new Beijing camp finally had a little appearance.

The registered strength of the original Beijing battalion was about 150,000, but the actual strength was less than 30,000.

The strength of the new Beijing battalion is also 30,000 people, and the spiritual outlook is of course not the same as that of the original Beijing battalion, which can be seen from the demeanor of the Zhongqi mountain shouting long live.

Chongzhen carefully observed the standing posture and military appearance of the new army through the car window, and felt very satisfied. Yes, the new Beijing camp is also a new army, and the existence of the new army is no longer a secret to Wang Yue, so there is no need to hide it.

The equipment of the new Beijing battalion is the same as that of the new army of Xuanda, and in terms of dress, it is a bit similar to the Tiance army, of course, it is just like a god.

Because I can't get a camouflage uniform, I can only keep up with the Tiance Army in terms of military uniforms, and the color is earthy yellow. At the same time, the establishment is also similar to that of the Tiance Army, which is divided into brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, and platoons, and even the epaulette style is the same as that of the Tiance Army.

At first glance, it looks like a proper dress of a warlord unit in the Republic of China. But in Chongzhen's eyes, this is a symbol of a strong army, and the record of Tiance Army's repeated victories has been portrayed in Chongzhen's mind as a modern soldier.

"Your Majesty, a strong army, Your Majesty, this is a strong army in the world!" Wang Chengen, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, said excitedly that the momentum of the new army outside the car window was indeed incomparable to that of the original Beijing battalion.

Chongzhen, who was sitting in the No. 1 seat in the back row, looked at the new army with a neat appearance and full of energy, and nodded with satisfaction: "Lu Aiqing has trained his troops well." ”

The Xinjing Battalion is composed of two parts of the Ming Army, one is recommended by Hong Chengchou, which is the headquarters of more than 10,000 Ming troops of Cao Bianjiao, the former chief soldier of the East Association of Jizhen Town, and the other is the 8,000 Ming Army of Huang Degong, the deputy general of the former Nanzhili Yongwei Battalion.

These two parts of the Ming army formed the basis of the new Beijing battalion, plus recruits recruited from other regions, the new Beijing battalion was formed, and all of them were equipped with new weapons developed by the imperial court.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Seeing Chongzhen's special car driving in front of him, the generals and supervisors of the Xinjing camp shouted on the ground.

"All the ministers are flat!" Chongzhen, who got out of the car, raised his hand.

Only then did the generals and overseers who were kneeling on the ground get up and stand straight.

Chongzhen looked at Cao Bianjiao, a middle-aged man in his thirties, tall and strong, with a fierce face. Chongzhen thought of Cao Bianjiao's uncle Cao Wenzhao's life of killing thieves and finally dying in battle, and Cao Bianjiao's brilliant military exploits in the southern and northern wars after inheriting Cao Wenzhao's career, nodded.

The nominal commander of the new Beijing camp is Lu Xiangsheng, the main general is Cao Bianjiao, and the deputy general is Huang Degong, the latter two preside over the daily affairs of the new Beijing camp, and the new Beijing camp directly obeys the orders of Emperor Chongzhen.

Past history has proved that eunuchs may not be able to be relied on, and their loyalty is no problem, but the desire for corruption is stronger than that of civil servants and military generals.

After replacing the Beijing battalion with a new army, the system of the three battalions of the past can be adopted, but it must be streamlined and decentralized.

After the new Beijing camp was completed, it would definitely not be handed over to the internal supervisor, Chongzhen hesitated again and again, followed the advice of Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng, and finally ordered Cao and Huang to be the generals.

"Cao Bianjiao, assuming that the Tiance Army rebels, as the commander-in-chief of the front battalion of the Beijing Battalion, can you hold the Beijing Division, and can you repel the attack of the Tiance Army!" Chongzhen stared at Cao Bianjiao intently.
