Chapter 1597: Knighted
Li Dingguo took a group of generals under his command to be stationed in the military department all day and night, analyzing and studying the situation in the Western Regions, and sometimes, even Xu Yifan would join in to study the strategy together.
Soon more than two months passed, and the news of the conquest of the Rakshasa Kingdom had been rushed back to the capital from Kulen through seven hundred miles.
Zhu Jie, who got the news, was extremely excited, Qin Mufeng fought beautifully, but Song Jiaxing handled it even more beautifully, the indemnity of 1,200 taels of silver for four years, plus the full exemption of tariffs when the Ming Empire entered the Rakshasa country in the future, this is equivalent to constantly drawing blood on the body of the Rakshasa country, and it is difficult for the Rakshasa country to become strong.
The most beautiful thing is the Leshi Ural Mountain, with the boundary monument, in the future, even if the Rakshasa country turns over, if you want to invade the Ming Empire, it is better to weigh it, and even Song Jiaxing directly left 50,000 taels of gold in Tyuming, as the funds for building the Tyumen fortress, the Ming army has begun to build fortifications in Tyuming with great fanfare, I have to say that Song Jiaxing is capable and old, much more mature than Qin Mufeng.
Soon, the Ming army also retreated from the Rakshasa country to the capital, from galloping to aid Mobei, to the victory and triumph, it took nine months, however, this battle did play the prestige of the Ming Empire, head-to-head, 20,000 elite horsemen almost swept the Rakshasa country, if it were not for Song Jiaxing's unwillingness to force the Rakshasa country too much, not to mention the destruction of the Rakshasa country, there is still a huge possibility of taking Moscow.
Zhu Jie praised Song Jiaxing and Qin Mufeng for the first time.
Now the important generals of the DPRK have basically returned to Beijing, except for Sun Chuanting in Fujian and Tan Guilin in Nanyang.
"Okay, now that everyone is back, it's time for this reward to begin!"
Zhu Jie laughed and said, "Come on, Liu Sili, give the decree!" ”
The first is Xu Yifan, since following Zhu Jie, he has resisted strong enemies outside and strong troops inside, and can be said to be the first commander of the Ming Dynasty's strong army.
The second is Qin Mufeng, who must go forward in every battle, charge into battle, where is the most dangerous, Qin Mufeng takes the lead, kills countless famous enemy generals, Jin Feng Yan Guogong, plus the prince Shaobao;
The third is to check the bolt, first unify the Tianxiong army, and then unify the navy, resist strong enemies, fight rebellion, conquer Dongying, collect Nanyang, make great achievements, and be crowned the Duke of Lu, and add the prince Shaobao;
Later, Song Jiaxing passed through the desert, conquered the Rakshasa in the west, and was crowned the Duke of Weiguo;
Li Dingguo conquered Siam through Manchuria and the south, and also expanded his territory and became the Duke of Shu;
Gao Jie was crowned as the Duke of the Kingdom;
Zhao Zhenghang is the Duke of Yueguo;
In addition, although Sun Chuanting is a scholar, he has been fighting all year round and has made countless meritorious achievements, and he was also promoted to the title of Duke of Qi; Although Li Yan is also a civil official, because he presides over the affairs of the military department all the year round, his merits should be the first, and he was also promoted to the title of Zhao Guogong;
Chengguo Gong below,
Sixteen Marquises:
Xia Wanchun is Suzhou Hou; Zheng Haotian is Ezhou Hou; Yang Geng is the Marquis of Luzhou; Zheng Cai is a candidate for Quanzhou; Xu Peiming is Hanyang Hou; Huang Degong is a candidate for Chuzhou; Deng Jiugong is the candidate of Tongzhou; Shu Xinchen is the candidate of Xinzhou; Tan Guilin is the Marquis of Yanzhou; Yang Chengzu is Weinan Hou; He Yilong is Caozhou Hou; Zhao Xin is Xinyanghou; Du Rui is a candidate for Qingzhou; He Qingtian is a candidate for Kaohsiung; Qiu Qingquan is Deyang; Dong Xi is Caozhou Hou;
The eleventh duke, the sixteenth marquis, the meritorious heroes of the court, undoubtedly missed all the titles of knights, in addition to the duke and marquis positions, there are more than 20 people who have been named earls, all of whom are cadres in various towns;
After the big reward, it is the establishment of the military system of the entire Ming Empire, Xu Yifan is right, now the territory of the Ming Dynasty has expanded more than three times at once, and the original military towns are responsible, it is really impossible to take care of it, and it must be readjusted.
This time, Zhu Jie made up his mind to have a major earthquake;
First, the establishment of a cavalry corps, with Qin Mufeng as the cavalry corps superintendent, under the jurisdiction of two Mongolian cavalry towns, one Manchurian cavalry town, plus artillery battalions, rocket battalions, engineer battalions, a total of 50,000 troops, stationed in Manchuria and the desert;
Second; The two towns of Jingying were expanded into the Guards Corps; With Zhao Zhenghang as the superintendent of the Guards Corps, he was responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi and stationed in the capital and Zhili Province;
Third, the six towns of the Tianwei Army retained the first, second, third, and fourth towns, and changed them to the Tianwei Army, stationed in Jiangnan, with Xia Wanchun as the superintendent;
Fourth, the three towns of the Tianxiong Army were changed to the Tianxiong Army, which was stationed in Guangzhou and was responsible for the defense of Nanyang, with Tan Guilin as the superintendent;
Fifth, the fifth and sixth towns of the Tianwei Army plus Xi'an Town, the strength of the three towns, was reorganized into the Western Regions Army, and accompanied Li Dingguo on the expedition to the Western Regions;
Sixth, there was no longer any war in the provinces of the Central Plains, and two-thirds of the military towns in the provinces were abolished, and the military police were replaced by military police;
Song Jiaxing, who returned to the capital, was not sent to Monan again, but went all the way south, went to Fujian, and replaced Sun Chuanting as the governor of Jiangnan, Sun Chuanting returned to the capital to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet again, no way, Sun Chuanting is already over sixty years old, and it will not take two or three years to become a minister, according to the regulations of the current imperial court, as long as the age is more than sixty-five years old, no matter what official is all to be a scholar, and the energy cannot keep up, then don't occupy a position, suppress the rising stars below, the Ming Dynasty has a steady stream of talents, and some are people!
In a word, that is, to establish a powerful modern army corps that can be transferred to any region of the Ming Empire at any time, compared with the provincial and local armies, the field forces directly under the empire are the most important, and the huge field forces will have a huge deterrent effect on the entire Ming Empire, and at the same time deter various neighboring countries from daring to spy on the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
After the adjustment of the army, the next step is the Ming naval fleet.
Now among the four major fleets, the first fleet and the second fleet have been formed, the third fleet is limited in combat power because they are all captured Western warships, and the fourth fleet is Shi Lang's offshore fleet, which has now been changed to Xuanyuan Company, Yuan Xiao directly transferred the two fleets to the South Seas, preparing to defend against Western wars; The third fleet is transferred back to Fujian, ready to refit warships, as for Shi Lang, the current Shi Lang is the most pitiful, his warships can only fight pirates, there is no way, the fleet wants to expand vigorously, it takes time, Shi Lang is the reserve left by Zhu Jie for the imperial court, let them go overseas to toss at will, how to toss, then how to toss.
Now there is no hidden danger in the north of the Ming Dynasty, the Western Regions, there is no difficulty for Li Dingguo, mobilize the two towns of the Tianwei Army, plus the town of Xi'an, with a total strength of more than 70,000 people, fully armed, to suppress Moxi, that is the situation of crushing!
Zhu Jie put almost all the focus of the imperial court's defense on the South Seas, next, this will become the focus of the latest major forces in the world, Western countries will not let go of here, the same Ming Empire is even more unlikely to let the Westerners under their noses, the future of a battle at the peak of the sea, it is inevitable, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, now is the moment of confrontation between the two peak forces of the Ming Dynasty and the West.
