Heads can be faked, even if it is really difficult to identify, but after all, the military department eats this bowl of rice.

It's not that you can still kill the good and take the merit to exterminate the Liukou, the appearance of the alien race is still very different from the Central Plains, and you want to take the merit?

The military department has its own set of methods for verifying the heads, otherwise if the border army can easily kill the good and take the risk, then it will not be able to move a few or more than a dozen levels of enemy leaders, and they will dare to report a great victory.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not believe in Dushikou's achievements, so the officials of the Ministry of War would definitely stare at it, and those heads would naturally carefully distinguish the authenticity one by one.

But in fact, the vast majority of officials have already believed it, even if they don't want to admit it in their hearts, they have to believe it.

Because thousands of heads and more than 10,000 captives have been escorted back to Beijing, the Son of Heaven can have such a big confidence to do this, and it can be said that the authenticity of Xuanfu's victory is more than eighty percent.

Human nature is contradictory, as a Ming official, the courtiers naturally hope that this victory will not have any water, the grassland jackal has plagued the Central Plains for thousands of years, and the Central Plains Dynasty has waged a war with the emerging forces of the grassland for thousands of years.

The hatred between the two has long been integrated into the blood and engraved into the bone marrow.

The Central Plains Dynasty has always wanted to completely exterminate the grassland regime and eliminate the threat from the north, and the grassland regime is also thinking of raising troops to the south to occupy the flowers and mountains of the Central Plains, so that they can stay away from the white and black disasters, and let the Central Plains become their pasture, and their own people can live in peace.

Five Hu chaos, the northern Han people were almost killed to the extinction, so there was the strong rise of the king of Wu Mourning, and there was the decision of 'killing Hu Ling'.

Emperor Taizu expelled Meng Yuan, Yongle Emperor made five expeditions to Mobei, and the remnant Yuan was directly broken in the backbone, and the grassland trembled under the soldiers of the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, in just a few decades, Wara rose in the grassland, and the orthodox emperor gathered all the strength of the Ming Dynasty to raise troops to defeat it, but the emperor who was raised in the deep palace no longer had the legacy of the ancestors, and the battle of Tumubao made the Ming fall off the altar.

Wu Xun has been in a state of collapse since then, and the Ming military has plummeted since then.

With the strong rise of the civilian forces, they naturally don't want to see the resurgence of the military generals' forces, but in the face of the victory of Dushikou, no matter how unwilling the civilian clique is to admit it, it can only pinch its nose and admit it!

Emperor Jiajing wanted to knight Zhu Shou, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and in the face of such military exploits, the knighthood was more than enough, and even if the civil officials were unwilling, they could only watch a new martial artist rise from the land of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Son of Heaven also wanted to promote the deputy chief of Xuanfu to the rank of duke, and as soon as this proposal was put out, it was immediately subjected to fierce opposition from the top and bottom of the Manchu Dynasty.

The reason for the opposition is simple, Wei Xinnai is the deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu, even if he has merit in the victory of Dushikou, but the majority of the credit is also the chief soldier Zhu Shou, and his military exploits are not enough to promote him to the rank of duke.

In addition, Zhu Shou, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, is the marquis, and if the deputy chief soldier is a duke, it is not good for the commander of Xuanfu!

Does that make sense? It makes sense, but for Zhu Houwei, it makes sense and it's a fart.

Knighting a military general is the emperor's greatest privilege in itself, and civil officials are not qualified to intervene at all, not to mention, you like to be knighted as an emperor?

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the lord himself is one of the largest privileged classes, and they are hereditary and resigned, and they are honored and retired with the Ming Dynasty!

This kind of treatment makes the emperor always extremely cautious when he is knighted, so cautious that even if the civil officials don't say it, the emperor is generally not willing to abuse the title, and it is almost the same if he wants to cut the knighthood.

But this time is different, the reason why Zhu Houwei must give Wei Xin the title of Duke is because of the great victory in Dushikou, and the credit is really too great, even if Zhu Houwei knows that this great victory is the credit of the new army and Wei Xin's actual relationship is not great.

But this is since the change of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty really struck the grassland in the complete victory, and the effect on improving the morale of the border army is too great, so to promote Wei Xin, so that the martial artists in the world can know that when Emperor Jiajing attaches great importance to military affairs today, tell the generals in the world, as long as you are not afraid of death, as long as you have meritorious achievements, don't worry about not having the opportunity to be knighted!

The temptation of the title is fatal to the world's martial artists, who doesn't want to be a general who can't be a marquis and worship the duke, and win the achievement of a wife and son!

As for the courtier's questioning that the deputy chief soldier is a duke, and the chief soldier is a marquis, this is indeed a bit inappropriate, but who is Zhu Shou?

He is the Emperor of Zhengde!

Don't say that Wei Xin is just a duke, even if he is a prince!

Could it be that Wei Xin still dares to talk to Zhu Houzhao?

It's just that it's inconvenient to make it public.

Zhu Houwei finally insisted on sealing Weixin as the prince of Muyang County, and the whole court could only pinch his nose and admit it.

The reason why it is so happy is that the cabinet did not carry it to the end, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty knew better than the cabinet about the determination to strengthen the army today, and the seven elders also knew that the Son of Heaven was moving to win the hearts of the generals.

This is the general trend, and any official who wants to stop this general trend will be kicked away by it, and there is absolutely no room for turning around.

The reason why Emperor Jiajing wants to strengthen the army is obviously not just to eliminate the northern plague and the bandits and bandits in the territory, the purpose of the Son of Heaven is to expand the territory!

Now there is no catastrophe in the Ming Dynasty, the treasury is abundant, and the inner treasury is a sea of gold and silver, which is enough for the Ming Dynasty to launch several powerful foreign wars.

Expanding territory is not only the pursuit of military generals, but also for civilian officials, why?

Foreign wars, especially the wars of the strength of the country, are extremely demanding on national strength, and there is no civilian government to govern the world, so that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has strong capital, talk about war?

If it weren't for Emperor Yang of Sui who launched several battles of Goguryeo in order to weaken the gate valve, the national strength of the Great Sui would not have been dragged down, and there might not have been a prosperous Tang Dynasty in history!

Civilian officials really don't like war, because if war rises to the level of opening up territory and is really successful, then it will inevitably form a new military merit group, which will have a huge impact on the interests of civilian officials.

However, civil officials do not reject war, it is not only the military generals who are happy to make great achievements, the most important thing for civil officials is to leave a name in history, if they are in the ruling stage of their own dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has conquered all foreign wars, and is invincible, which undoubtedly shows that civil officials are effective in governing the government, so they will naturally leave a strong mark in the history books.

Of course, there is also a premise for this, and this premise is to let the civilian superintendent lead the troops.

In the eyes of civilian officials, leading the troops by their own people can suppress the self-respect of the generals to the greatest extent, and it can also weaken the merits of the generals!

As for defeat? That's the military generals who don't listen to orders, what does it have to do with civilian officials?

There is no great responsibility for defeat, the mouth of the military general can never say that the literati, in the end they can only take the blame, and the victory is a great credit, and the civil officials are not sages, who doesn't want to get the biggest share from the military exploits!
