Since the initiative is in his own hands, why didn't Zhu Qizhen let them enter Beijing?

Zhu Qizhen cleared his throat and said with a final word: "Spread the decree, Zhun Wara, the Tatar envoys will enter Beijing, tell them that after entering the customs, they must abide by my Ming laws and disciplines, and if they dare to do anything illegal, they don't need to enter Beijing to see me." ”

It means that you don't have to enter Beijing, that is, you will be wiped out on the spot.

"Your Majesty."

All the ministers shouted in unison.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Qizhen left behind the military department, the two Shangshu of the household department, and Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining, had a small meeting.

The military department Shangshu Kuang Yu came out of the column and said.

"Your Majesty, detailed military reports from all over the country have been sent one after another, and after the military department has sorted out, together with the household department and the five military governors' mansions, in accordance with the regulations, the corresponding list of bereavements and rewards has been drawn up, please Your Majesty to read it."

As for the silver taels of bereavement and reward, these have already been announced, and it is only more detailed to bring them up at this time.

The key today is to reward and recount merit.

Di Jinying presented the booklet to Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen read it, and Kuang Yu said.

"In this battle, the Ministry of War plans to promote a marquis, Yang Hong, the chief military officer of Xuanfu, and he will be replaced by hereditary.

The two counts are Ji Duo, the chief military officer of Datong, and Tao Jin, the chief military officer of Bauhinia.

As for the rest of the generals, the deputy chief soldier and others, according to the size of their merits, they were each given hereditary ministers, commanding these fifty-six people, hereditary thousand households, hundreds of households, plus those who died in battle, a total of more than 400. ”

The Ming Dynasty has always looked at the title very tightly, and the title should not be taken lightly, and it is extremely strict.

In the more than 20 years since the Xuande period, the number of nobles has increased by less than ten, and sometimes no one has been knighted for several years.

For example, Yang Hong, he has always been powerful at the border, guarding the border for many years, and Warajing is afraid of him to death and calls him King Yang.

In this battle, Yang Hong made great contributions, if he had not been able to supervise the Xuanfu army and horses, it would have been impossible to achieve such a result this time.

Therefore, Yang Hong, the hereditary reckless marquis, deserves his name.

As for the two counts, it was more of a pacification of the border army of Datong and Bauhinia Pass.

Conferring an earl, if there is no merit in the future, it will be just a generation.

There is also a large-scale award of low-level military attachés, and Kuang Yu has received Zhu Qizhen's instructions, and his head must be stuck, but the standards can be relaxed for low, especially those who died in battle.

Zhu Qizhen's move was based on the Ming Dynasty's unique military merit system.

Those with great military merits are knighted, and secondary, they can also be hereditary commanders, thousands of households or something.

This means that even if you die, as long as you have a son, when your son reaches adulthood, he will immediately become a military attaché.

Of course, the command here, thousands of households, hundreds of households or something, when it is really practical, it is often downgraded and used, and the hereditary thousand households become a hundred households, and a hundred households become a general flag.

Zhu Qizhen relaxed the standards of 100 households and 1,000 households, in fact, in a sense, it is to show grace to the soldiers.

A bucket of rice is a great grace for the army at the bottom, which is enough to feed them, make them die, and let them

As for the senior military attachés, don't say one bucket, one stone, ten stones, and a hundred stones, if you still can't feed them, then there is no need to be so generous.

To be honest, according to the standard of tens of thousands of enemies killed this time, the number of marquis and earls can at least double.

It's just that Zhang Fu played and attributed almost all the credit to the emperor, and said that without His Majesty's flying ball camp and the previous rebellion against Boyan, it would have been impossible for this battle to have such a result.

Even so, the rest of the credit is enough for several people to be knighted, which is not bad.

One marquis, two counts, this time three high-ranking relatives in one go.

As for the general soldiers, Zhu Qizhen compromised the opinions of the household department and the military department, and everyone was rewarded with two taels of silver and one piece of cloth.

After the reward of these men has been given, the reward of one is yet to be determined.

British Gong, Zhang Fu.

As the coach, although he said in the book that he did not make a big contribution, everyone knew in their hearts that this British prince naturally had a lot of credit, and if he really didn't appreciate it, it would definitely be unreasonable.

The front foot has just been rewarded, and now, there is a taste of no reward.

Since there is no reward, what should we do?

In other dynasties or when the country was founded, it was possible to marry the royal family, following the example of the King of Zhongshan.

But now the Emperor Ming Zuxun clearly stipulates that the royal concubine selection is no more than three grades, which is a desperate way to marry with the nobles.

If you can't get married, you can only continue to reward money and add honors.

Since Zhang Fu has already added the crown prince and the prince, then add another prince and the prince, thinking of the high level of hard work, and the temple can be exempted.

As for the reward, according to the highest standard in the palace, 3,000 catties of gold and 1,000 taels of salt.

After discussing the rewards, Kuang Yu continued, how many soldiers should be replenished in various places, how many flag troops should be garrisoned, and how many squad troops should be left, it took more than half an hour.

Speaking of the border army, Zhu Qizhen found the conversation.

Zhu Qizhen asked the military department, the imperial horse supervisor, and the governor's office of the five armies to check each.

Taking Datong as an example, the approved border soldiers and horses in Datong Town are about 80,000.

But the number of military horses registered in Datong is about 200,000.

Among them, a large part of them are military registration, that is, guards and soldiers, and the military horses stationed in Datong and critical passes are all recruited.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, which theoretically implemented the guard system, was actually also recruiting soldiers, and almost all of the most elite men and horses were recruited.

This is not surprising, after all, the disadvantages of the Wei system are here.

Back then, Taizu implemented the guard system, and there was no way to do it. When the Ming Dynasty opened the country, the treasury was empty and the fields were barren, so Taizu and his old man tossed out the guard because of the time system, and the general Tun was one, and he did not pay silver, so he gave you a piece of land and went to Tuntian by himself.

The guard, especially the real earth guard, is more like an administrative unit, and the command of the guard, which integrates military and political power, has become the heaven of ordinary soldiers.

Power without checks and balances is terrifying.

This has also caused the degeneration and corruption of the guard, far beyond imagination.

During the Yongle period, the guards could still get by, but in the orthodox years, some of the guards in the frontier fled to the end, and they were no longer two.

What does this mean?

It shows that people would rather become black households than ask for this military registration and continue to stay in the guard.

In this case, the imperial court had to form a professional army through recruitment to ensure the combat effectiveness of the border army.

After all, the people who recruit soldiers have no worries and are well-staffed, but they spend a lot of money, people eat horses, and armor and armament.

There are more than 300 guards inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, and theoretically it can recruit an army of one million in a very short period of time without worrying about food and salary.

But in fact, the Ming Dynasty who uses soldiers everywhere, how many guards can really be used?
