Zhou Yanru is already clear enough to talk about this, and there is nothing to say no matter how much he has.

He didn't wait for Fang Kong to leave a meal, so he flashed directly, leaving the Fang family mixed with mixed emotions and messy themselves.

Of course, the joy is far greater than the worry.

In such troubled times, it is much safer to have an official position and seek peace than to stay in the northern capital. A girl's marriage is really insignificant compared to the interests of the family.

How many dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, because they went to the wrong place, when the city was broken, the jade was burned. Not to mention, Fang Ziling's two aunts, which of them is not the uncle who was killed by thieves and widowed, the whole family is gone, what is personal marital happiness.

A woman in troubled times is a bucket of rice, although it sounds cruel and a little incorrect, but it is aimed at this kind of situation.

Of course, Fang Kongzhi also knew the trade-off, so after seeing Zhou Yanru leave, he just sighed guiltily at his daughter:

"Ling'er, is my father sorry for you...... But in such troubled times, it would be good for our family to be at peace. Shu is rich, and there are natural dangers, as long as Zhang Xianzhong can be exterminated, it is a peaceful paradise in troubled times. ”

"Needless to say, Dad, it's all as it should be. What's more, Your Majesty has moved to reuse your heart, do you still want to resist and disobey the decree? After the initial shock and hesitation, Fang Ziling had recovered like cold frost, and he couldn't see anything unbearable, and said coldly,

"The child only asks his father for one thing, don't mention the child's marriage in the future, the child doesn't want to talk about marriage again. Although the appointment with Shen Lang has not crossed the clear road, this time it is just the current situation of the king's life, and I don't believe that he bears me in his heart. If the king doesn't let me marry, I won't marry, and I will bend down and keep my own weight until the time comes, but I don't want to marry someone else. ”

Fang Kongzhi originally wanted to persuade, but his daughter's last sentence made him shut up.

Indeed, the emperor could only prohibit the Fang family from marrying anyone, but he also did not stipulate who the Fang family had to marry with. In this case, the way of taking the initiative is forbidden by the emperor's order, so the confrontation with passive inaction can also be regarded as a kind of self-esteem.

Fang Kongzhi knows that her daughter has self-esteem, so let's fulfill her self-esteem.

"Anyway, it's all about making people, although our family has also encountered twists and turns, compared to most of the wandering and hard-working local officials in this troubled world, I don't know how much. This year, and so on is right, hastily change course, maybe step into a bigger quagmire.

Well, let's pack up and prepare as soon as possible, and maybe we will receive the order tomorrow, and then we will immediately go south to take up our posts. ”

Fang Kongzhi sighed and ordered, Fang Ziling entered without crying or making trouble, packing up and packing without mentioning.

……

The next day is also an official pilgrimage day of five days.

Chongzhen really said that at the court meeting, Chen Xinjia officially reported the recent progress of the war to the ministers, and also said the new and dangerous situation in Sichuan and other places, and asked the ministers to discuss and go through the motions.

At the end of the court meeting, at the stage of proclamation, Chongzhen also took out the results of Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia's discussion,

Officially, because of the achievements of Henan and the repulsion of Li Zicheng's efforts to relieve the siege of Kaifeng and rescue the kings, he gave the Huguang governor Shen Shuren the surname of the country and the title of Earl of Krug.

After hearing this reward, many uninformed civil officials in the court were still quite surprised, because it was not easy to rely on military merits to win the title in the late Ming Dynasty, and a relative might be awarded an earl or something.

So, don't look down on an earl, although this has no real power, but in terms of scarcity, it is already much rarer than the governor.

For example, from Jiajing to Wanli, three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, who were awarded the earl for their military exploits, was none other than Li Chengliang, who still relied on repeated self-esteem to brush up on his military merits and brushed the title of "Uncle Ning Yuan". In contrast, Qi Jiguang, who was at the same time as Li Chengliang and would not raise his own respect, could only "seal the marquis for the rest of his life, but I hope that the sea will be peaceful".

During the Chongzhen period, the battle situation became more and more difficult, but when Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting killed the previous generation of King Gao Yingxiang, there were also no Feng Bo and Hou.

Even because of the butterfly effect, when Chongzhen was thirteen years old, he finally swore an oath to "punish Zhang Xianzhong to be a duke", but so far Zhang Xianzhong has not died, and no one has been knighted because of this.

Historically, the counts and marquis of the Ming Dynasty were depreciated, and it was basically not until Chongzhen died and Beijing was breached that the Southern Ming court began to issue titles indiscriminately.

It was also because of the ups and downs, the world was going to be over, and I couldn't care about it so much, so I gave the warlords with heavy troops at the level of the four towns in Jiangbei the title of Pufa in exchange for their loyalty to the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The counts sent by Zhu Yousong in history have absolutely no match for the gold content of Chongzhen Chrysostom in person.

In the same way, the national surname given to Zheng Chenggong by Emperor Longwu in history is not the same as that given by Chongzhen at this moment.

This time, the earl can be regarded as taking the first step. If it weren't for the fact that Shen Shuren was too young and his official promotion was too fast, he would not be able to be promoted to governor within a year, and he would not have taken out the earl to reward him.

Rao is like this, there are still many imperial historians who come out to play right, earnestly obstructing, saying that this is not in line with the ancestral system, since Jiajing, it is not so easy to be crowned an earl because of military merits. It is nothing more than the group of people such as Liu Zongzhou and Zodiac Zhou.

It's just that Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru, and Chen Xinjia all unified their views and made a decision in advance, so these people's "old and serious views" failed to make waves, so it was decided.

In addition, of course, the rewards on the court discussion cannot be only for Shen Shuren, so many other generals and civil officials who participated in the Henan Campaign also had their own rewards.

Huang Degong, who has the first military merit, has also been a general soldier since the ninth year of Chongzhen, and has been in the position of general soldier for six years.

Originally, the general army was already the highest normal military attaché, and there was no way to be rewarded, this time Chongzhen added him an additional rebellious general number - the late Ming Dynasty added a general, mainly from the ancient Ping, thief, rebel and other miscellaneous generals.

General Ping Thief had given Zuo Liangyu a few years ago, but later Zuo Liangyu was convicted of avoiding war and was taken away again. But it also caused the name of General Ping Thief to stink a little, so naturally he would not give it to others, and others would dislike it and be unlucky.

Even if you want to reuse it in the future, you have to wait for a few years, or even wait until Zuo Liangyu steps down or passes away, and use time to smooth everything out, so as not to be unlucky.

And Dangkou Keyu was occupied by Liu Guoneng and Shen Shuren respectively, so there was basically no choice left for Huang Degong, and there was only the rebel general.

Huang Degong added the number of general, and the other Zhang Mingzhen also had military merits, but they were also general soldiers, and their military merits were not so outstanding, so they could not be promoted, just rewarding gold and silver.

As for those who have not yet reached the general army, it is generally possible to select those who have performed well and move them again. For example, Zhu Wenzhen's staff can be moved to the deputy general, and several other naval battalion garrisons and capital divisions under Zhang Mingzhen can also be promoted again.

It's just that most of the generals below don't need to deal with it at the court meeting, just go back and Chen Xinjia will deal with it privately in the military department.

After dealing with the promotion of all military generals, there are also some involving civilian officials.

Fang Yizhi, Yan Yingyuan, etc., under the command of Shen Shuren, also had some credit for engaging in logistics preparations, but they were not as significant as those who went into battle to kill the enemy.

Fang Yizhi is already the prefect of Wuchang, and he has not moved for the time being, Yan Yingyuan's level is still very low, he is just a government official, go back to Zhou Yan's Confucian Ministry to deal with it, and you can also find a way to move to Tongzhi first.

The only civil official above the prefect level who has been promoted is Shen Shuren's cousin Zhang Huangyan - but he is not because of the war with Li Zicheng, but because of the prevention of Zhang Xianzhong's remnants in Jingzhou Mansion and Yiling during the same period.

And when Sun Kewang's whole division withdrew to Sichuan, Zhang Huangyan keenly bit some of Sun Kewang's troops who were greedy for property and procrastinated in action, slightly annihilated more than 2,000 enemies, recovered Zigui, Wuxian and other places, and opened up the passage with Qin Liangyu's defense area, which can be regarded as taking back the territory of a prefecture.

These places are poor and poor, there are few counties, but the area is still very large, from Zhangjiajie in Xiangxi to Shennongjia in Jiangbei, the whole Three Gorges of the Yangtze River is a precipitous and poor place, just look at the map to recover a large piece, although most of them are no man's land and savage area.

So, Zhou Yanru drafted in advance, changed Zhang Huangyan from the prefect of Jingzhou to the prefect of Chengdu, and added the title of Sichuan military commander.

This appointment, firstly, is Zhang Huangyan's own competitiveness, and his performance is worthy of this reward.

Second, it is also for the military strength under the command of Shen Shuren, and in the future, he can be directly seconded to Sichuan to quell the rebellion and pursue Zhang Xianzhong. After all, he lent his troops to his cousin, and Shen Shuren was not so stingy.

A considerable part of Sichuan must have fallen now, Zhang Huangyan seems to have been promoted a lot, but the power still needs to be fought back by himself, and his own jurisdiction is restored and pacified.

The Jingzhou prefect was replaced by the Chengdu prefect, which is not strictly speaking, it is not a promotion, only the addition of troops and preparations is a promotion. But even if it is the same prefect, there is still a clear gap in real power between the level of the known government.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jingzhou Mansion was no longer the richest and densest mansion in the Huguang region, far inferior to the territory of Fang Yizhi, the prefect of Wuchang, and even slightly worse than Xiangyang Mansion.

The wealth and economic value of Chengdu Mansion are obviously much higher, it has been the most prosperous place in Shu since ancient times, the country of abundance, as long as it is not destroyed by Zhang Xianzhong for a long time, it can be done as soon as possible, and the economic potential can be recovered quickly.

After Zhang Huangyan's appointment, it was the turn of re-negotiating the candidate for the governor of Sichuan.

And Zhou Yanru also recommended Fang Kongzhi unsurprisingly, and everything passed through the process. On the contrary, this issue is the least controversial at this Celestial Dynasty meeting, even Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou, who spray every person, will not spray.

Fang Kongzhi was originally innocent, and he also had qualifications, and he was waiting for his post in Beijing. The fifty-three-year-old man still has a few years to do, and he has been a supervisor for a long time, so he should be completely deserved.

……

Immediately after the conclusion of the pilgrimage on November 21, the relevant decree was announced. The marriage of Shen Shuren and Luwangfu was not mentioned that day.

This is a private matter of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and there is no need to discuss it at the court meeting, the emperor can decide it himself. If there is a time difference, it will also be more beneficial to the face of the Shen Shu people, because it will not be thought of "It turns out that the surname of the country is given today to cover up the Shen Shu people's form".

After the limelight has passed, Shen Shuren will not have to bear the rumors of "son-in-law". People were given the national surname because of military merits, and then they were given marriage for other reasons, one thing is the same thing, don't think about it.

The will does not need to travel 600 miles to expeditiously, anyway, Fang Kongzhi's family will also follow the will to take office together. The will will come to Huguang first, and if Fang Kongzhi and the others did not arrive, they would not be able to take office.

Therefore, it took seven or eight days to travel two or three hundred miles a day, and it was hurried to Wuchang at the end of November.

At this speed, Fang Kongzhi almost felt that his old bones were about to fall apart, but the military situation was urgent, and the emperor's order was in his body, so he could only endure it.
