The wrestling between the Military Aircraft Department and the Cabinet ended in a victory for the Cabinet, and after the second decree was issued, Ma Mingyuan had nothing to say, and began to go north with all the members of the Cabinet, and finally arrived in Beijing before the Chinese New Year.

On the first day of the first month of the seventh year of Shenwu, Zhu Hongsan told his subjects in the format of a holy decree that Lao Tzu had finally sat firmly in this country and now began to reward meritorious ministers.

In fact, some people in Guangdong pricked Zhu Hongsan to try, after all, it can increase some popularity. But he was rejected by the thoughtful Zhu Hongsan, the reason is very simple, he started to reward him when he lived in Guangdong, so what should he do if he occupies the whole country in the future? Are they all kings? For the sake of future consideration, Zhu Hongsan postponed the proposal of some people.

Then after the occupation of Nanjing, the world was shaken at that time, and some people began to propose knighthood, but Zhu Hongsan vetoed it, the reason was similar to last time, and he was still afraid that he would not be rewarded in the future.

Now that Beijing is occupied, the Manchus have been driven to Mongolia, and now the whole country is not occupied by Shaanxi and Sichuan.

At this time, all the officials in the country asked for the excerpts of the meritorious heroes to fly into the cabinet like snowflakes, and Ma Mingyuan sent all the excerpts to the emperor intact.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan felt that he should also be rewarded, or he would cold the hearts of his own people, so in the second year of occupying the whole country, he issued a holy decree and began to be knighted.

China has always been like this, whenever the Central Plains Dynasty changes its façade, it will immediately reward the meritorious ministers, after all, a few brothers follow your emperor to work hard for today? Emperor, can't you give us some riches?

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, began to be knighted in the third year of Hongwu, and Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the titles of son and baron of the previous dynasty, and only set up three titles such as duke, marquis and earl. According to the law, these three classes can be subdivided into seven classes, that is, the first class, the second class, the first class, the second class, the third class, the first class, and the second-class uncle. In addition, some titles can be hereditary, and some cannot be hereditary.

Of course, this long-term food stamp is not so easy to receive, Zhu Yuanzhang made a total of 25 dukes and 79 marquis in the third year of Hongwu. Many of these people died in previous wars, and only six dukes and twenty-eight marquis survived to the founding of the country. These people are different from the earls, they all have long-term food stamps, that is, if the Ming Empire does not fall, you people can be used by future generations.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang will give you a long-term food stamp, and he will also give you a one-way ticket to hell, which can be used by the whole family. Among the six founding dukes of Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang was beheaded by the whole family, leaving only one grandson. Xu Da died of illness, and the title was left until the end of the Ming Dynasty. Chang Yuchun died of illness, and his son Chang Mao was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Li Wenzhong, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, was also executed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Feng Sheng, who was the most capable of fighting, was executed by the whole family. There was also a Deng Yu, who died of illness during the expedition to Tibet. These are dukes, and there are twenty-eight marquises, and only four of them can get a good death in the end, among which Liu Ji died of illness early, but Liu Ji's son was also unlucky. Tang He, as Zhu Yuanzhang's old friend, suffered from Alzheimer's disease in the end, and Zhu Yuanzhang let him go. In the end, only two of the marquis survived to Zhu Yunwen's accession to the throne, one was Geng Bingwen, Marquis of Changxing, and Guo Ying, Marquis of Wuding.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Di launched a rebellion, and Emperor Jianwen ordered the sixty-five-year-old Geng Bingwen to lead an army to suppress it, and was removed from his post after being defeated. In the second year of Zhu Di's reign as emperor, Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Chen Ying, the imperial historian of the capital, impeached Geng Bingwen with dragon and phoenix patterns on his clothes and utensils, and a red leather belt for the jade belt, showing signs of rebellion. Geng Bingwen is a good man, knowing that Zhu Di will settle accounts after the autumn, he was so frightened that he committed suicide. That is, Guo Ying is the only one who survives to the end of life, so Zhu Yuanzhang's long-term food stamps are not easy to receive!

Of course, except for the murderous demon Zhu Yuanzhang, the other emperors are not bad for the descendants of these founding knights. Zhu Di is just that you don't object to me, Lao Tzu will let you live well and be a rice worm. Therefore, these founding heroes and Jingnan heroes, plus hundreds of earls who were rewarded in the Ming Dynasty for 270 years, were passed on until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the good days are over, and the country is gone, so remember you? These guys also lost the bravery of their ancestors, and rushed to lick the chrysanthemums for the Manchu Qing one by one. Of course, these people did not end well in history, and many were persecuted to death by the Manchus. However, in this time and space, they were even more unlucky, because they met Zhu Hongsan, who was as ruthless as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Hongsan immediately attacked these heroes after entering Nanjing, the reason is very simple, our old Zhu family has raised you for more than 200 years, and now we are not dead, so you will go to find a new master? Good! Return all the money that our old Zhu family has sent to you for more than 200 years.

Therefore, under Zhu Hongsan's strict order, after the 34 heroes who stayed in Nanjing, they were sent to prison one after another, and in order to repay Zhu Hongsan's debt to the king of Hades, the families were forced to die.

Zhu Hongsan is ruthless to others, but it is not okay not to reward his own people, so at the beginning of the New Year, he issued a holy decree and asked the cabinet to count the number of meritorious heroes and prepare to make Danshu iron coupons.

On the first day of the third month, after two months of verification, the cabinet finally counted the final reward list, and Ma Mingyuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, submitted it to Emperor Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan opened the thick credit book to watch, the first place is Ma Mingyuan, the second is Feng Ziyong, the third is Ma Jiyuan, and the fourth is Tong Yangjia, these four people are Zhu Hongsan's capital to start a business, and they are also the oldest heroes who followed Zhu Hongsan, and they are equivalent to Jinggangshan cadres compared to later generations, so it is understandable that they are ranked in front.

The first four are the first echelon, and the second echelon is headed by Gong Dacheng, the old man of Tong Yangjia, and then dozens of people are discharged according to the time they follow Zhu Hongsan. The third echelon is the military figures, the first is Qian Yong, the second is Zhao Guodong, the third is Wang Jinbao, and then dozens of army generals.

Zhu Hongsan saw how Wenchen and the military generals were separated, frowned and asked, "Mr. Ma, how can this merit book still divide civil and military?" ”

Ma Mingyuan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the merits of civil officials and military generals are not easy to compare, so after the study of the cabinet, the civil and military will be separated!" ”

Zhu Hongsan is right, it is a good statistic of how many enemies the military general has eliminated in front, but how does Wenchen calculate?

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "It's not bad, how does your cabinet decide what titles and fiefs to award?" ”

"Your Majesty, this cabinet has not been decided, and I want to ask Your Majesty to make a decision!" In fact, Ma Mingyuan made a slippery head, if the cabinet decided to be a prince and a marquis, wouldn't it offend people? So the hardest part of this is to let the emperor come!

Zhu Hongsan also knew the difficulties of the cabinet when he heard Ma Mingyuan say this, nodded and picked up the Zhu pen, drew a few lines on the merit book, and then said: "Ma Mingyuan has the first merit, he is the Duke of Chu, and there are 10,000 households in the city; Feng Ziyong was the Duke of Jin State, with 8,000 households; Ma Jiyuan was the Duke of Qin, with 6,000 households; Tong Yangjia is the Duke of Qi and has 4,000 households; Qian Yong is the Duke of Korea, with 3,000 households, and Zhao Guodong is the Duke of Zhao Guo, with 3,000 households; Wang Jinbao is the Duke of Wei, with 3,000 households; Ma Kun is Zheng Guogong and Zhou Yu is Liang Guogong, and these two people have 2,000 households. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Hongsan looked at the merit book again, and there were one hundred and three people, and said to Ma Mingyuan: "Before the Wenchen Li Zhi and the military general Han Shirong were all named marquises, the name was determined by your cabinet, and the food was from one thousand households to one hundred households according to the merits, and everyone else was named earl!" The Duke and Marquis are hereditary, and the Earl is the V! ”

When Ma Mingyuan heard that he had been named the head of the meritorious heroes, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the merit book sent down by the little eunuch, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been named the head of the meritorious heroes, I am really ashamed of Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing Ma Mingyuan's twisted appearance like this, Zhu Hongsan was amused in his heart, you Ma Mingyuan looked like a master, it didn't matter what kind of status he used to have, but now the fox's tail is leaking out, it turns out that he is also a layman.

"Haha, second brother, don't shirk it, you followed me the first time, you deserve to be the head of this hero!"

Ma Mingyuan is just pretending, it's not that he really doesn't want to be knighted, but now when he heard the emperor say this, he stood up and accepted it happily.

Zhu Hongsan continued: "Also, the cabinet will complete the list of meritorious heroes as soon as possible, and then let the Ministry of Industry make Danshu iron coupons!" ”

"Your Majesty, there are three forms of Danshu iron coupons, what should be written on the front?"

According to "History of the Ming Dynasty and Public Opinion Service Zhi IV": "Iron coupons for meritorious heroes: In the second year of Hongwu, Taizu wanted to seal the meritorious heroes, and they were not customized. Or say that Qian Yunyi, a citizen of Taizhou, has a family collection of Wuyue Wang Tang gave iron coupons, so he sent an envoy to take it, and he lost money because of his style. Its system is like a tile, and the first is the seventh class. Male second class: one high foot, one foot six inches and five minutes wide; One is nine inches and five inches high, and one foot six inches wide. Hou third class: one is nine inches high, one is five inches wide; One is eight inches and five minutes high, and one foot five inches wide; One is eight inches high, and one foot four inches and five minutes wide. Bo second class: one height seven inches and five minutes, width one foot three inches and five minutes; One is six inches and five minutes high, and one foot two inches and five minutes wide. Engrave the details of the resume and the number of graces to remember his merits; Imponement and reduction of the number of sins, in order to prevent their transgressions. The words are embedded in gold. Where there are ninety-seven pairs, each divided into left and right, the left is awarded to the meritorious officer, and the right is hidden in the inner house, and if there is a reason, it is combined to win the trust. For three years, the great meritorious heroes, six dukes, twenty-eight marquis, and iron coupons. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the Danshu iron coupon was divided into two kinds: civil and military, and those unlucky ghost generals who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to open the country were written on it as "Founding Auxiliary Movement Push Cheng Xuanli Wuchen", and Wenchen wrote "Founding Auxiliary Movement Push Honesty and Abide by the Integrity of Wenchen". The 26 heroes of the Battle of Jingyan only replaced the "founding auxiliary movement" with "Fengtian Jingyan", and the heroes of the later dynasties were all "Fengtian Yiyun", and those who inherited their father's ancestors were awarded "admiring their father's (ancestor) industry".

Zhu Hongsan listened to Ma Mingyuan finish talking about the format of the Danshu iron coupon, Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said: "I am Zhongxing Daming, the year name Shenwu, let's call Zhongxing Shenwu!" Others come according to the ancestral system! ”

Ma Mingyuan heard it, so that the Danshu iron coupon became "Zhongxing Shenwu pushes sincerity and observes the truth", which is not bad, Ma Mingyuan nodded and wrote it down, and then went out to start making Danshu iron coupons according to the emperor's wishes. ()
