Chongzhen was noncommittal.

At present, the enemies of the Ming Dynasty have changed from rogues to slaves.

However, Chongzhen didn't say anything to Huang Degong, and he didn't understand it.

Chongzhen asked Huang Degong: "Jing Anbo, can you lend me 6,000 taels of silver first?" ”

"Why did the Holy One say that?" Huang Degong hurriedly fell to the ground again, and said in a panic, "All the salaries and silver in the army belong to the Ming Dynasty, and they are all from the Holy Lord, how can you borrow a word?" ”

"Heh, I'm speechless." Chongzhen waved his hand.

"Then you have to transfer six thousand taels of silver."

"Then I will go and fetch it." Huang Degong got up and walked back.

Chongzhen called ten generals such as Wu Jiaotan and Mengke Rabbit over.

Now that he has returned to Jiangnan, it is time to reward the wheel of gong.

Needless to say, this great detour and retreat with a total journey of more than 5,000 miles is definitely a military miracle, and Chongzhen now thinks about it like a dream.

And the reason why he was able to return to Jiangnan alive is that one thousand Yiding can be said to have made great contributions.

Therefore, whether it is for reward or to win people's hearts, it must be expressed.

"On the Chahar grassland, I told you that as long as you escort me back to Nanjing safely, I will give you a title and make you a nobleman of the Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Now, I am standing on the edge of the Yangtze River."

"On the other side of the river is Nanjing, and you have completed the task of escorting."

"And I should fulfill my promise and give you a knighthood."

Hearing this, the ten generals such as Wu Jiaotan and Mengke Rabbit suddenly became excited.

Titles, the emperor is going to give them titles, and they are about to become nobles!

As Mongols, the concept of nobility is deeply ingrained.

In the steppe, the number of nobles was very scarce, and most of them were just slaves of the nobles.

Moreover, the aristocracy has all kinds of privileges, and they can beat and kill slaves when they want, and they can also sleep with slaves' wives or daughters, and slaves cannot even resist.

Because the Great Zaza Decree stipulated that slaves were only the property of the nobility.

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "I will now entitle the ten of you as loyal and brave men!" ”

Promotion of officials requires a cabinet ministry, but the title of lord can be decided by the emperor at his behalf.

It's just that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were extremely stingy with the title of lords, and most of the titles were viscounts and barons below the earl, and there were very few marquis counts.

As for the duke, it is even rarer.

In the Jiajing period, he felt that the number of viscounts and barons was a little too large, which had caused a certain burden on the national finances, so he simply removed these two titles, and the old titles were not recognized.

Therefore, the old Zhu family is really consistently stingy with officials' relatives.

This problem is mainly at the root, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang, who guards against his relatives like a thief.

At this point, on the contrary, Jiannu was much more generous, and Jiannu enshrined a large number of marquis at the beginning of entering the customs, and even garbage like Xu Dingguo was mixed with a first-class Jingqi Nihafan (first-class son).

Jiannu can even say that the prince can be sealed, such as Wu Sangui and King Sanshun.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was finally able to enter the Central Plains, and it was a big reason to win over the Han landlord class by wantonly knighthood!

It was precisely because of the Manchu Qing's wanton reward of knighthoods that the Ming army and the generals of Dashun who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were full of energy, and they fought their own people more vigorously than Jiannu, and swept most of China in a short period of time.

So at this point, Chongzhen decided to learn from the successful experience of Jiannu.

As for the financial burden, the finances of the Ming Dynasty have been rotten like this, and they are not bad for these noble years, and a viscount's annual salary is only two hundred stones, which is two hundred taels of silver?

The annual salary of ten viscounts is only two thousand taels.

Cutting off one prince can raise dozens of viscounts.

These are long words, but they are actually a turning point in Chongzhen's mind.

Listening to Chongzhen's words, Wu Jiaotan and other ten generals were suddenly overjoyed.

Although they are only the most junior barons in the fifth-class titles, they are also nobles, and from this moment on, they are not only out of the military household, but also beyond the civilian class, and have become the magnates of the Ming Dynasty!

Chongzhen smiled slightly, and said: "In the future, you will become a family again, and you will have a new heir, and then you will have a son who will be a hundred households in Jinyi, and you will be hereditary!" ”

It was really ecstatic to wait for the charcoal.

Can you still shade a son for a hundred households in brocade? Hereditary replacement?

This means that the official body of Jinyi Wei Baihu can be passed down from generation to generation.

At that moment, Wu Jiaotan and the other ten people knelt on the ground with a brush, pouting their butts and singing: "Ministers thank the saint for Hongen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Not far away, Hu Guozhu looked at this side with envy.

He didn't know what he was envencing, anyway, he was envious.

Maybe it's because they are envious that they can be named barons, or maybe they are envious that they can be a son for the hereditary Jinyi Wei Baihu? Or is it envy the emperor's ability to win people's hearts?

"Flat!" Chongzhen raised his hands and motioned for Wu to wait for the charcoal to get up.

Waiting for Wu Jianghui and the others to get up happily, Chongzhen continued: "I was able to return to Jiangnan safely this time, and the ten of you have made great contributions, but your sons and daughters are also highly laborious, so I also have corresponding rewards for them, so you tell your sons and daughters that I will entitle them as the general banner of Jinyi Guard!" ”

Wu Jiangtan and the others immediately told the good news to their respective subordinates.

As soon as the news spread, a thousand Yiding cheered one after another, and the appearance was extremely enthusiastic.

These Yiding have also lived in Liaoxi for a long time, and they also have a considerable understanding of the Ming Dynasty and know what kind of existence Jinyiwei is.

Although Jin Yiwei's reputation is not very good, after all, he is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, his status is extremely high, his treatment is good, and he also holds the power of reconnaissance, arrest and interrogation, etc., and he can walk sideways in the local area!

Now they have not only joined the Jinyiwei, but also become the general banner of the Jinyiwei! It's seven products!

This means that they have also become the pro-army of the Son of Heaven from now on, and they can walk sideways when they get to the place.

Such a good thing, can you not be happy? But all normal people, no, but all individuals have to be ecstatic.

In the warm cheers, Huang Degong came back again, and brought three boxes with six family members, and the boxes were estimated to be heavy and heavy.

Chongzhen pointed to the box and said to Wu Jiaotan and the others: "This is the salary for April, you organize the sons and daughters under their respective marks to come to me to collect it, one hundred households and one hundred households." ”

From April, 1,000 Yiding began to follow the emperor in the southern and northern wars.

Therefore, the salary is changed to the emperor, which is also a matter of course, and there is nothing to say.

At that moment, Wu Jiaotan and the other ten hundred households returned to their respective queues and began to organize the Yiding to come forward to receive the salary.

Because the general flag of Jinyi Wei has just been sealed, this time according to the Guan Ning army can be compared to the Guan Ning army to receive the monthly salary, the cavalry of the Guanning army is 1.6 taels of silver, plus 1 stone of rice.

However, in order to save trouble, the imperial court usually changed the true color to folded color.

Moreover, the official price given is extremely low, only 0.4 taels of silver for 1 stone of rice.

So later, the moon of the cavalry of the Guanning Army became a regular fold of 2 taels.

Then the salary is divided into three classes: salary, salary, and war salary, the salary is the salary issued when stationed in a place, the salary is the salary after the promotion, and the war salary is the salary when the war is to be fought.

Normally, the levy is twice as much as the sitting pay, and the war pay is three times as much.

Apparently a thousand yiding were to be paid three times the salary of the war salary.

Soon, Wu Gangtan came forward with the Yiding he had marked.

The charcoal is an official body, and he takes the annual salary, so he does not receive the monthly salary.

The first place in line was a short and stout Yiding, who stepped forward with an excited face.

"You're Uladu?" Wang Chengen took the roster and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Yiding, whose name is Ula Du, nodded again and again, "Villain Wu Ladu." ”

Wang Chengen asked again: "Whose soldier are you in?" ”

"Huh?" Ula was stunned when he heard this.

I didn't ask about this before.

Gao Qiqian on the other side reminded in a low voice: "Be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Oh, oh." Ula woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said, "The villain is a soldier of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Be louder." Wang Chengen frowned and said, "Our family didn't hear clearly. ”

Wu Ladu immediately shouted: "Be a soldier of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Hmm." Wang Chengen nodded and asked, "Whose grain is it eating?" ”

"Huh?" Ula was stunned again when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said, "Eat the grain of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Wrong, wrong." Gao Qiqian hurriedly corrected, "Eat the food of the Long Live Lord!" ”

"Oooh." Ula scratched his head and shouted loudly, "Banzai Lord's food!" ”

"Yes." Wang Chengen picked up the brush and lightly ticked it on the roster, and said with a smile, "Wu Ladu, Chongzhen's seventeenth year in April should be paid 6 taels, and the actual salary is 6 taels!" ”

Gao Qiqian took out two silver bills from the box and handed them to Ulladu.

Ula put the 5 taels of silver into his mouth and bit it gently, leaving a clear tooth mark.

Seeing this tooth mark, Ura's mouth immediately grinned to the root of his ears, and he said in his heart that Long Live Lord is really good, the salary in April was directly distributed, and the salary was really triple the salary!

Unlike Ping, Xibo often defaults on his salary, and it takes half a year to delay.

They also never paid salaries or war salaries, and sometimes their salaries had to be reduced.

Soon it will be the turn of the second Yiding to receive the salary, and this time the process will be much smoother.

"Your name is Tempest?"

"Yes, the villain is contemptuous."

"Whose soldier was it?"

"When the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

"Whose food did you eat?"

"Banzai Lord's food!"

"Contempt can beg, Chongzhen's seventeenth year in April should be paid 6 taels, and the actual salary should be 6 taels!"

Yi Ding, whose name was Mir Keqi, also received two silver bills, and he also took a bite first, and when he found out that it was really silver, he also smiled happily like a flower.
