The efficiency of the cabinet was very fast, and after half a month, the list of knights and the appearance of the Danshu iron coupon were completed and presented to Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the final list of knights, there were nine dukes, and these were the first people to follow Zhu Hongsan. Ten of the marquis were forty-eight of them, who had died in the early battles. Eighty-one counts, twenty-one who died in battle.

Zhu Hongsan casually flipped through the list and found that the heroes who died were mainly killed in the Battle of Xinyang, eight marquis and seventeen earls were killed in the Battle of Xinyang. Looking at these familiar names Zhu Hongsan was full of emotion, the battle of Xinyang was all cold weapons at that time, so the casualties were the heaviest, in addition to these people, there were also many rogues who were recruited in Henan, and they also died together in Xinyang City. At least the country remembered them, and those rogues were even worse, and some of them didn't even have a name.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the familiar names one by one and asked, "Do these dead people have families?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, some people have families, but most of them still don't have families!"

These people were all selected by Zhu Hongsan from the displaced people outside the city, and they fled to Huguang, naturally there were no old, weak, sick or disabled, so many people were alone. Those who have families are all Huguang locals, and Huguang can at least eat a mouthful of food, so as not to die like the northern provinces.

"Those who have families must be settled, don't miss a family, those who have no families are looking for their relatives in their hometowns, if there are relatives who inherit the title by their children, if their relatives are dead, they are looking for a smart and clever heir to the title among the local orphans!"

When Ma Mingyuan heard the emperor say this, he hurriedly bowed down and promised that he would do this well.

Zhu Hongsan closed the list and said, "Mr. Ma, you have done a good job, let's use the name of your cabinet to write the world next!" In addition, I am going to gather all the meritorious officials in Beijing on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and I want to reward them, and your cabinet will prepare it! ”

It was already March, less than two months before the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and Ma Mingyuan bowed down after listening to the emperor's words and began to prepare for the first large-scale ceremonial event of the new dynasty.

Zhu Hongsan was knighted this time a total of one hundred and seven people, and now they are either feudal officials or generals with heavy troops, and many of them are fighting on the Yunnan-Guizhou border, so it is still a little difficult to summon them to Beijing in two months. But fortunately, at this time, Zhu Hongsan had a navy, and it was relatively fast to take the sea route.

On the fourth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of Shenwu, the last group of heroes have come to Beijing, and now the city is really full of marquises, and the earls are not as good as dogs! This is a bitter for the people of the capital, when they go out and see a sedan chair, they have to kneel and kowtow, and they often have to meet five or six heroes at a distance of one mile.

There are only twenty-six Chinese ministers in one hundred and seven people, and there are a large number of military generals, but this is also inevitable, after all, the military generals are desperate in front, and Wen Chen is relatively safer.

The ceremony on May 5 was held in the Fengtian Temple, which was the Taihe Hall of the later generations, which was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, and was called the Fengtian Temple. In the forty-first year of Jiajing, it was renamed the Huangji Palace. After Zhu Hongsan occupied Beijing, he changed his name back.

All the heroes stood at the noon gate before dawn, dressed neatly and waiting for the emperor's summons. In the first row were the nine dukes, who did not wear the duke's clothes, but the prince's clothes given by the emperor, and they were treated the same as princes.

The first is the first assistant Ma Mingyuan, Ma Mingyuan is really in good spirits today, he is already tall and handsome, and he is even more domineering when he wears the prince's clothes.

Feng Ziyong, who was next to Ma Mingyuan, was a little unconvinced, Ma Mingyuan and Feng Ziyong were not bad, after all, the two grew up together. But just a few years ago, in order to come to power for himself, Ma Mingyuan actually kicked Fa Xiaofeng out of the cabinet, which made Feng Ziyong very depressed. Although Ma Mingyuan and Feng Ziyong talked about the cause and effect of the incident afterwards, the relationship had broken down, and nothing could make up for it.

The third is Ma Jiyuan, now Ma Jiyuan's forces in the court have been absorbed by Ma Mingyuan, and he was demoted home by the emperor, so Ma Jiyuan's identity is very detached, and he looks like he has nothing to do with himself.

Among the four strategists, the most popular is Tong Yangjia, this old guy should be ranked third according to the time he followed Zhu Hongsan, before Ma Jiyuan. But he didn't expect Ma Mingyuan to be so shameless and rank himself last, so Tong Yangjia held back a resentment in his heart, waiting for the opportunity to get Ma Mingyuan.

The remaining five dukes are all military generals, and the first in line is, of course, Qian Yong. Qian Yong's first place is really well deserved, he followed Zhu Hongsan the earliest back then, and he was still the battalion commander of the first battalion, no matter how good his military merits and qualifications are, it is no problem to rank first.

The second is Zhao Guodong, who is about the same as Qian Yong, and his qualifications and military exploits are enough.

The third place is Wang Jinbao, Wang Jinbao, who has been in Nanyang for a long time, came back for the first time in this decade, and the whole person was sunburned like black charcoal by the Nanyang sun. There were eleven people who came back with Wang Jinbao this time, all of whom were knighted heroes. Wang Jinbao was born in a rogue, because he and Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong were not all the way, so he did not chat with the people around him in the duke's team, and did not speak with a black face.

The fourth and fifth places have some doorways, the fourth duke in the army is Ma Kun, who graduated from the second batch of teaching regiments that year, and he can't be rated as a duke at all according to his qualifications, but Ma Kun is now the governor of the capital, and he is ahead of his original classmates in his position, so he was named a duke by Zhu Hongsan. Zhou Yu, who is in fifth place, is similar, when he went to Xinyang, Zhou Yu was only Zhao Guodong's deputy, and now he is on an equal footing with his former superiors, so both of them quietly took half a step back and did not stand with the three military bigwigs.

Zhu Hong's three titles of these nine dukes are very ingenious, and the four Wenchen are the four major forces in the Chu Party. The generals were originally two small groups, Qian Yong, Zhao Guodong's non-commissioned officer faction and Wang Jinbao's rogue faction, but now it is different, with the addition of Ma Kun and Zhou Yu, the most powerful non-commissioned officer faction has split, which is a good thing for Zhu Hongsan, after all, no emperor wants the army to become a monolith.

Standing behind the nine dukes were thirty-eight counts, and at the top of the list was Gong Dacheng, the old father-in-law of Tong Yangjia. Although Gong Dacheng's level is really average, but people participated in the revolution early, when Zhu Hongsan just fled Wuchang, Gong Dacheng took refuge in Zhu Hongsan in Xianning, although it was coerced.

Gong Dacheng is a few years younger than Tong Yangjia, he has just reached fifty this year, and he is really looking forward to standing in the first place of the marquis. Gong Dacheng looked left and right, looking like a villain, as if he had forgotten the appearance of kneeling in front of Zhu Hongsan and begging to release him.

The second place of the marquis is Feng Ziyong's father-in-law Xu Dali, the old man Xu is almost seventy years old this year, and he has already written to prepare for retirement, and he will return to his hometown to retire after the knighthood is completed this time. Although Xu Dali was already planning to withdraw from officialdom, he was very angry when he saw Gong Dacheng on the side looking like a villain. Xu Dali and Gong Dacheng are not all the way at all, Xu Dali is very honest as an official, and this time he went home except for the emperor's money, and donated all other industries to the country.

But Gong Dacheng's achievements are different, Gong Dacheng can squeeze two taels of oil out of the stone, and he is even more scraped when he is the political envoy of Anhui. So Xu Dali hated this guy very much, and when he saw that he was standing next to him, he hurriedly gave way to the side, so as not to get into bad luck.

Xu Dali was beside Li Fugui, Lao Li didn't expect that he could be a marquis from a servant background, or the hereditary kind, thinking that he followed Zhu Hongsan with a dead face, Li Fugui sighed in his heart, he was really prescient back then, if he hadn't stayed in Wuchang, he would have died in the hands of the Liukou, where he could still tear the earth and seal the marquis?

From Li Fugui to the end, the previous ones were all the earliest cronies who followed Zhu Hongsan, according to later generations, it was the Jinggangshan period, and he lived to the founding of the People's Republic of China and was not a general?

Li Fugui is followed by Zhu Hongsan's hero to Guangdong, and compared with the Red Army period in later generations, this is also very unusual.

In the first place is Feng Ruoshu's eldest grandson Feng Run, the title was inherited by Feng Run after Feng Ruoshu's death, and Feng Run now took the path of his uncle Feng Zi and became a prefect of Shandong, but it is still the lowest among the heroes.

Feng Run's side is Feng Ruoshu's disciple Wang Yunchang, who was fooled to Guangdong by Zhu Hongsan in Dongchang Mansion back then, and now it can be regarded as a positive result.

The next one is the original first assistant Chen Zizhuang, but Chen Zizhuang didn't come today, and he said in the book that he was sick and asked the eldest son to replace him. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Chen Zizhuang is angry with Ma Mingyuan and deliberately did not come. Behind Chen Zizhuang's son were some literati who followed Zhu Hongsan in Guangdong, such as Fu Wenlong, Li Zhi and others.

The first place in the marquis on the military general's side is Qian Lide, Lao Qian originally thought that according to his relationship with the emperor, he could be a duke, but after the list, Lao Qian's eyes were long, just a marquis, but it was okay, he was the first marquis among the generals.

Behind Qian Lide is the military general Zhao Guoliang, and the following are the division commanders of various divisions, in addition to these generals, there are also some Jinyi guards who have also become marquises, such as Jinyiwei Tongzhi Wang Xian, and another Tongzhi Zhao Mengguan in Jinyiwei.

Zhao Mengguan, the marquis, came very far-fetched, according to Lao Zhao's estimate, he could get at most one earl, but how did he think that he would become a marquis after the list, Zhao Mengguan inquired in many ways, only to know that he was originally an earl, but was personally mentioned as a marquis by the emperor from the earl, Zhao Mengguan was very grateful to Zhu Hongsan after knowing it.

In fact, Zhu Hongsan does not completely evaluate the title according to merit, the most important condition is checks and balances, and civil officials are like this, and military generals are like this. Qian Lide and Wang Xian were already marquises, and Zhao Mengguan was an earl, so he couldn't play a role in containing the two, so Zhu Hongsan raised Zhao Mengguan to the marquis with a stroke of his pen.

The marquis of military generals is the most, and there are some deputy division commanders below who are also marquises, and finally there are two regiment commanders, who are also named marquis because of their outstanding merits. ()
