Qin ordered the commander of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi water and land soldiers and horses to aid the general military officer, special python jade, cheap acting, hanging the seal of the general, the left army governor's mansion, the prince Taibao, and the Marquis of Anyuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The series of titles of info is Chen Wen's official position in the Ming court, and that person is like this with one mouth, Chen Wen, who has been prepared for a long time, has already made people set up the incense case, and then bows down in front of the imperial power represented by this angel.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says: Qin ordered the commander of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and the general military officer of the land and water soldiers to aid the suppression, give the python jade, act cheaply, hang the seal of the general, the left army governor's mansion, the prince Taibao, and the Marquis of Anyuan, Chen Wen, ......"
The holy decree, starting from the decree of King Lu Jianguo to grant the seal general, to Lin Haibo and later Marquis An Yuan, Chen Wen has heard it many times, putting aside those flowery rhetoric, things with more practical significance are often behind these.
ββ¦β¦ Jin Qing to the commander of the South Zhili, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places of land and water soldiers and horses to aid the suppression of the general officer, specially given python jade, cheap acts, hang the seal of the general, the left army governor's mansion Zuo Du, Shaobao and the prince Taibao, Xiuguo Gong. Task Force ......"
Admiral military affairs than the previous appointment of one more Fujian, in the addition of the title, the original prince Taibao is the second product, the new Shaobao is from the first product, but the left military governor of the Zuo Du Mansion is already a positive product, and the title is only used to show the merits and noble status of the recipient, corresponding to him is actually only as a reward for killing Chen Jin and Shi Tingzhu. In this, in fact, the real reward is the title of the Duke of State, which is the purpose of the angels who came all the way to Zhejiang, and the purpose of putting it on the surface.
"Minister, please Tian'an, long live, long live, long live."
"St. Gongan."
"Minister, thank you for God's grace, long live, long live, long live."
"Heavenly grace."
"Minister, forever obey the resignation, long live, long live, long live."
"Honesty is a precept."
After receiving the order, Chen Wen was promoted from the Marquis of Anyuan to the Duke of Xiuguo and became the Duke of the Ming Dynasty.
Before Jiashen, the Ming Dynasty only had a few dukes in the Hongwu and Yongle years due to the founding of the country and Jingnan, and there were only a dozen of them together, including the posthumous titles of generals who failed to live to the day of success like Hu Dahai, the Duke of Yueguo. Before and after the Southern Ming Dynasty, counting the Ming and Zheng periods, Guogong had a total of more than 50 seals, most of them accepted, and some did not accept, if you add the posthumous seals, then this number will only be more.
However, so far, there are not too many dukes left. There are those who are dead, there are also those who have surrendered, and there are those who have not yet been sealed like Liu Guoxuan. In these four southeastern provinces, now there are only Chen Wen's Xiuguo Gong and Zheng Chenggong's Zhangguo Gong, nothing more. There are relatively more in the southwest, mainly to win over the warlords in the southwest, the Great Western Army and the generals of Kuidong. Of course, there are more of them, and the biggest reason is that the Yongli Imperial Court is always in the southwest, and the buildings near the water are the first to get the moon.
The previous marquis, Yu Nanming, was already a bad street, and for Chen Wen, it was just a symbol of the shift from the Lu domain to the Gui domain. Even in the eyes of the Emperor of Yongli or Sun Kewang, the king of Qin who now controls the state affairs, Chen Wen, the marquis, may not be able to last long in Zhejiang, and the right should be a routine matter. But to everyone's surprise, Chen Wen not only persevered, but also defeated the Qing army again and again, so that he had today's Duke title.
There is no doubt that this is Chen Wen has led the Zhejiang Ming Army Group to fight bloodily for many years, and has made great efforts to obtain the feat, although it may be slightly inferior to those princes in the founding of the country and the Jingjing in some aspects, but compared with the warlords who have almost made achievements in the war record today, but won the title with the strength in their hands, it is still well deserved.
Chen Wen, who obtained the title of Duke of the Kingdom, also reached the same level in the title as Zheng Chenggong, which showed that he and Zheng Chenggong were the main leaders in the southeast Ming army, and the Zhejiang Ming army and the Fujian Ming army were the two most powerful military groups.
The messenger of the edict was an official of the Ministry of Rites, and this time, in addition to crowning Chen Wen as the Duke of Xiuguo, several generals under Chen Wen were also sealed. For example, Li Ruixin was awarded the title of Guangning Bo, Wu Dengke was awarded the title of Yiwu Bo, Lou Jiye was awarded the title of Pujiang Bo, Yin Yue was awarded the title of Dongyang Bo, and Zhang Zisheng of Pingjiang Bo, the current Zhejiang Mingjun Group has a total of one duke and five counts of the noble group.
The lower-level generals did not have the opportunity to participate in this big party to share the spoils of the title, but the Yongli Imperial Court also thought thoughtfully, brought a few blank edicts with the seal of the general, and handed over the right to fill them in to Chen Wen.
In addition, in terms of civil officials, Sun Yu was promoted from the prefect of Jinhua in the fourth rank appointed by Wang Jiang, the former governor of Zhejiang, to the governor of Zhejiang in the second grade, and was appointed by the military department to take charge of the civil affairs of Zhejiang Province, awarded Shang Fang the sword, and granted him the right to temporarily appoint local civil officials; Kong Yanzhen, the grandson of Kong Zhenyun, the former hereditary doctor of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, continued the hereditary lineage and was rewarded quite generously, and completely ignored the fact that their family had accepted the appointment of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, obviously still attached more importance to the influence of the Southern Sect of the Confucian family and the orthodox aura brought to the Ming court; In comparison, only Han Qizheng, who presided over the Criminal Investigation Department as a Tongzhi, was appointed as the Zhejiang Procurator, which seemed a bit outdated.
In terms of posthumous sealing, the Yongli Imperial Court posthumously awarded Chen Wen's grandfather and father as the Duke of the Kingdom, and posthumously presented his grandmother and mother as Mrs. Decree; Posthumously named Xinchang Boyu Guowang as the Marquis of Xinchang, but his son will be hereditary earl, not marquis; In addition, Wang Yi, the squire of the Zhizhejiang Economic Strategy Military Department, also received the nickname, the word loyalty, which seems to be closer to his actions in this life than the martyrdom in history.
Wang Yi got the nickname, which is the proper meaning, Chen Wen is from Wang Yi's command, and the sealing of the original Shangguan is also a kind of wooing, and at the same time, it is also a praise and praise for the martyrs. Now, Wang Yi's daughter is still alive, and the edict is naturally indispensable. However, in addition to Wang Yi's daughter, Sun Yu's wife Yi Shi and other relatives of civil and military officials, the imperial court also granted an edict to a girl who had not left the cabinet. It's just that when they heard the news, the civil and military officials in Zhejiang who were present showed unnatural expressions, even Hu Laijing, an absolute newcomer in the Zhejiang Ming Army system, and former Wenzhou deputy general Hu Laijin was no exception.
"When the word boudoir is in the boudoir, she will be ordered by her loyalty, which is really a strange woman. Dare to ask Guogong, where is this little lady Zhou now, and the lower officials have done their duty. β
It is not that the edict envoys have granted edicts to women on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but those who are either the wives of civil and military officials, or the widows and orphans of martyrs. Such a father is just an ordinary gentry, the daughter of a small man who has never been an official or martyr, and he has not even married, and he has won the edict by virtue of his meritorious service, and there will be similar possibilities in the Han and Tang dynasties, Huang Ming, he has never heard of it anyway.
It's just that he feels weird, and Chen Wen's expression is not very natural. "This matter, well, let's talk about it when we go back to Jinhua Mansion."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zheng Tai and the envoy of the edict came together, but the only civil and military officials of the Zhejiang Ming army on the Wenzhou side were Chen Wen, the new Wenzhou government official, Hu Laijing, who continued to be in charge of defense for the time being, and Wu Dengke, who rushed to report the situation.
Even if Chen Wen's Xiuguo Gong and Wu Dengke's Yiwu Bodang are canonized, the other edicts can only be granted if they return to Jinhua Mansion, but this does not prevent Chen Wen from setting up a banquet to entertain him, a national prince set up a banquet, and Zheng Tai and Wu Dengke, the Hou Yibo, are accompanied, and the edict envoy naturally has no possibility of refusing.
After returning to the big tent of the garrison camp, he changed his clothes and came out again, although Hu Laijin was not sealed, the envy in his eyes when he looked at Wu Dengke was still so thick that he couldn't get rid of it. Looking at it like that, Chen Wen can't say that he is an official fan, but he is still self-motivated.
Wu Dengke and Hu Laijin had met several times before, all because Hu Laijin discussed defense after the incident anyway, but there were some words, Wu Dengke did not avoid him, and simply said it directly to Chen Wen.
"Dashuai, this show word, the last general doesn't remember that there is a place with a word in the six mansions of Jin Quyan and Taiwen, who have recovered from Wang Shiguang."
Chen Wen knew that he did not avoid Hu Laiji when he talked to Wu Dengke, which was a kind of wooing of his people, making him feel that he was not an outsider from the Ming Army in Zhejiang. This hint of being regarded as one's own person is very important for outsiders who have recently joined the service, and Wu Dengke was able to do this obviously because he had studied for many years, and the city government and knowledge were no longer what they used to be, and Chen Wen was quite pleased with this.
It's just that Wu Dengke said it very seriously, and when he was solemn, he seemed to be more serious than when he was made an earl, so that Hu Laijin still didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
"I've thought about this before. It is true that the few mansions we have recovered now do not contain this word, and this word has never been used in the country name, neither in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but there is a place where this word has been used before. β
What Chen Wen is talking about is Jiaxing Mansion, which was called Xiuzhou in the fifth dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, which was originally part of Suzhou, and was later divided by Qian Miao's heir, Qian Yuanjun, and at that time also included the ground of Songjiang Mansion in the jurisdiction.
The name of the Nanming Dynasty when it was canonized, the ancestral hometown, the place of birth, the place where it has been restored, the place where it has made meritorious contributions, and even the beautiful words or the names that have been used in ancient times, all of which exist. The word show is not linked to Chen Wen's ancestral hometown, hometown, occupied area or meritorious service, and the martial artists have never used this word before, and the only explanation is that it refers to Jiaxing Mansion, which makes Chen Wen and Wu Dengke, who have experienced Cao Conglong's rebellion, can't help but be vigilant.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Qin doesn't want us to go north in a big way."
Chen Wen simply explained the matter of Xiuzhou to Hu Laijin, and even this foreign general showed a look of surprise.
In fact, from the time of the arrival of the edict envoy, Chen Wen felt that something was wrong. After the suppression of the four provincial capitals, he sent people to report to the Yongli court in Guizhou, but with the help of Zheng Chenggong's sea ship to the western part of Guangdong, he rushed to Guizhou after landing. It stands to reason that at this time, the envoy has just arrived at most, but the envoy has already arrived in Zhejiang, which shows that Sun Kewang has already sent people to set off before the arrival of the envoy.
In Chen Wen's impression, judging from the things Sun Kewang has done, he has a small belly and chicken intestines, and is jealous and jealous, which can be said to be intolerable. Taking the initiative to confer an official knighthood on him this time is completely contrary to common sense, and I am afraid it will not be too simple.
"Dashuai, the last general thinks that King Qin can ignore it, he can't reach our Zhejiang Wang Shi. But this messenger and his attachΓ© should be more vigilant. β
Hu Laijin gritted his teeth and said these words, in fact, it is also the effect that Chen Wen and Wu Dengke want to see, if they don't even want to say this, then this person will definitely not substitute his own interests into the interests of the entire Zhejiang Ming Army, and naturally it is impossible to be trusted. Of course, as a newly joined member, this may not be the case, but I can't even trust this "voter" that I don't dare to say.
"Brother Hu, as you said, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Sun Kewang himself can't help me Chen Wen, a hall official from the Ministry of Rites, a small envoy of the edict, can still turn the sky."
"The last will be dull." The mouth was dull, but Hu Laijin heard the meaning from the conversion between Deputy General Hu and Brother Hu, and the joy in his heart arose spontaneously, and he bowed down in front of Chen Wen at the time.
Picking up Hu Laiji, Chen Wen picked up the edict and read it again, and the filth hidden behind those flowery rhetoric quickly surfaced in his mind, and even the person in charge of writing the edict could speculate about what was going on behind it.
"A good Xiuguo Gong, a good commander of Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places to aid the general military officer. The power of the army is far from reaching Zhejiang, so I played this method on Jiafeng, clearly trying to influence my judgment, and instigating the discord of the Ming army in the southeast, and using Zheng Chenggong to contain Lao Tzu. Sun Kewang, you have a kind, wait for Lao Tzu to recover Nanjing, and then go to Guizhou to find you to settle this account. β
The heart is very unhappy, but the face is still that light and cloudy, set up a banquet to entertain the messenger, the wine and food are all local specialties of Wenzhou, the southwest ground, even if there is an official position in the body is also rare, there are more singers, dancers, musicians of the teaching workshop during the banquet, it can be said that the guests and hosts are happy.
Subsequently, the edict envoy went to Quzhou Mansion and Jinhua Mansion with Chen Wen, Zheng Tai and others, and completely completed the matter of the edict. At the same time, Chen and Zheng also further improved the trading rules on the road to ensure the smooth progress of trade.
"This southeast coast, even the childish child also knows that the elder brother is the God of Wealth who went down to the mortal world, don't kill too hard at the price, the younger brother is very poor."
"Furen, you can take advantage of this tongue, and I will not be able to listen to your command in terms of price at that time."
As he spoke, Zheng Tai smiled, but seemed to remember something, and then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Wen's hand. On the envelope, it was neatly written: Brother Furen personally opened, and foolish brother Zhu Chenggong respected. (To be continued.) )
