Chongzhen really said these words with a clear conscience.

But it doesn't matter, the dead are the greatest, Zuo Liangyu is already dead, and the big mistake that led to the demise of Nanming on the side of the Qing monarch has not yet been made, so he is actually not a big mistake.

Zuo Mengeng hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed: "The minister respectfully thanked the saint Longen for his father." ”

"Get up." Chongzhen helped Zuo Mengeng up, and said, "The title of Duke of Chu will be inherited by you." ”

The title of the Duke of Chu is inheritable, but the title of King Wuchang is only a posthumous gift, and of course it cannot be inherited.

"Bow and thank the Holy Lord." Zuo Mengeng, who had just gotten up, hurriedly knelt on the ground again, and Chongzhen didn't support him again this time.

Chongzhen turned his gaze to the general soldiers of the thirty towns and sixty or seventy deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas and garrisons, and said loudly: "As for the Qing and others, the general soldiers are all named first-class loyal and brave sons, and the deputy generals and below are all promoted to third-class loyal and brave sons!" ”

"Ministers, thank you, Saint Hong'en." The generals were overjoyed, but they didn't expect it to be the viscount.

Originally, they expected that it would be good to be able to be named a baron, but they didn't expect the saint to directly make a viscount.

To tell the truth, more than a hundred viscounts were sealed at one time, which is definitely a big deal.

After Grandpa Cheng's success, he was not so arrogant, and I am afraid that only Grandpa Tai can compare.

What Chongzhen was thinking in his heart, what is the false name of a mere title? He is not Zhu Yuanzhang, nor is he Zhu Di, the Emperor of Yongle, he will not be stingy with these false names, and he will give it to you if he wants.

As for the gold content of these titles, it is up to me to decide.

In a word, the final interpretation of the Ming title system lies with me Chongzhen.

Smiling, Chongzhen said again: "As for the follow-up reward, I can't be specialized, I need to return to the capital to discuss with the Ministry of Rites before I can determine it, you can't wait, right?" ”

"That won't be." The generals hurriedly shook their hands.

What if you have a knighthood, even if you don't have a reward?

Chongzhen said again: "In this case, you should go back to the post house to rest first, and when I finish dealing with the matter of Entian, I will return to the capital with you to discuss the reward." ”

"The ministers are leaving."

Huang Degong immediately left with Jin Shenghuan and Zuo Mengeng and other generals.

More than a hundred people walked at once, and the hall suddenly became empty.

In the huge hall, only Chongzhen's father and son, as well as Gu Yinxi, Lu Zhenfei and Jin Xuan, were left.

It was the military general's entry just now, and now it should be the turn of the civil official to add the official, but this matter still needs to be cautious, although the emperor has the privilege of promoting the general, but this kind of thing can't be done often, and can only be done occasionally.

Otherwise, the entire civilian-bureaucratic clique will go on a collective rampage, and perhaps there will be another large-scale strike, which is not good.

"Blocking Qing." Chongzhen first said to Gu Yinqing, "After dealing with Entian's affairs, I will leave, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Xuzhou in a short time, and during this time, the Huanghuai defense line will be handed over to you." ”

After a pause, Chongzhen said again: "While I am still in Xuzhou, if you have any requests, just put it forward, I will definitely do what I can do, and if I can't do it, I will find a way to do it for you." ”

Lu Zhenfei threw an envious look at Plug Yinxi, and said in his heart that the saint was a true favor and believed in Plug Yinxi.

Du Yinxi really had a request, and said: "Holy Lord, the minister hopes to leave a group of Qinwang scholars. ”

"Blocking Qing, you are thinking of it with me again, hehe." Chongzhen smiled and said, "If you don't mention this matter, I will do it, and I will leave you with three thousand Qin Wang Shizi!" ”

In front of the generals just now, Chongzhen didn't tell the truth, but now there are only three confidants and civil officials, and Chongzhen no longer hides his intentions.

"Three thousand scholars?" Plugging Yinxi was both surprised and stunned.

Seriously, Du Yinxi really didn't expect Chongzhen to leave him so many Qinwang scholars.

Chongzhen actually has his considerations, he is actually unwilling to let Qinwang Shizi leave the collective life too early, because for these Qinwang Shizi, the longer they live in the collective, the more firm their faith and will become, and the stronger their resistance to external erosion will become.

On the contrary, if you release it early, it will be easy to be corroded.

Some of the dozen Qinwang scholars who were sent to Huai'an Mansion to train Xiangyong before had problems, and two of them not only coveted women's enjoyment, but also accepted bribes.

If it was possible, Chongzhen really wanted the scholars to live a collective life all the time.

However, this is obviously impossible, and the prince of Qin will eventually become a leader.

When he returned to Nanjing this time, Chongzhen was going to bring half of the 3,000 scholars.

Scholars like Xu Yingwei and Yan Yingyuan, who showed military command skills in the Battle of Xuzhou, asked them to go back to their hometowns or the flood areas where they had been officials to recruit soldiers, and there were about 1,000 of these soldiers.

The other 2,000 Qinwang scholars also had their own arrangements, such as entering the Internal Affairs Office.

The 3,000 scholars who stayed in Xuzhou should be grassroots officers in Xuzhou Zhentai.

Chongzhen said again: "When the farming is busy, these 3,000 scholars form their own battalion to train themselves, and when the farming is slack, let these 3,000 soldiers gather 160,000 militia and 200,000 villagers to train intensively. ”

"Xiang Yong?" This was unexpected.

"That's right, there are also 200,000 villagers in Huai'an Mansion."

Chongzhen said: "I plan to move these 200,000 villagers to Guide Mansion. ”

The 200,000 Xiangyong of Huai'an Mansion also made great contributions in this Xuzhou War, and they also need a heavy reward, Chongzhen plans to give them a huge bounty, of course, this bounty can only be used to buy Entian.

Moreover, the Entian that Huai'an Xiangyong can buy is limited to Guide Mansion.

It is absolutely impossible to let them stay in Huai'an Mansion if they stay in Huai'an Mansion again.

One is to enrich the population of Guide, and the other is to weaken the power of the clan.

It doesn't matter whether the clan power is good or bad, but it is naturally hostile to the imperial power.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the imperial power does not go to the countryside, which is talking about the clan power in the countryside, and some powerful clan forces can even override the local officials, so that the local officials have to act according to the faces of the local clans.

Such a situation, Chongzhen, as a traverser, of course, cannot tolerate it.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly very stupid to let 200,000 villagers continue to stay in Huai'an Mansion.

The consequence is equivalent to letting the local clans of Huai'an Mansion master an army of 200,000 people, so what's the point? Therefore, relocating these villagers in other places is the only option.

"In the future, these 160,000 militiamen and 200,000 villagers will become the cornerstone of the Huanghuai defense line."

"I will find a way to solve the matter of weapons and equipment, you don't have to worry about it, you only need to be responsible for their drills."

"The specific drill can be handed over to the three thousand scholars to be responsible, you need to give the scholars enough power, if the border soldiers and villagers dare to disobey the order, they will be deprived of their fields and expelled back to their hometowns!"

"Yes." Du Yinxi arched his hand and said, "The minister remembers." ”

Chongzhen said again: "The matter of the reward, I have just said a rough idea, because the battlefield is too chaotic, it is difficult to count which real slave or which coat was killed by which soldier, so in addition to the one that can be clearly clarified, the rest of the more than 300,000 bounties will be divided equally, two taels of silver per person." ”

"Then add five months' salary, thirty taels."

"If you want to receive money and bounty, you can take thirty-two taels and retire and return home."

"If there are those who are willing to stay in Xuzhou Zhentai, I will give each soldier an additional 325 yuan for settling-in allowance, and then I can use this silver to buy 25 acres of enland."

For this, Chongzhen could think with his toes that the border army would definitely choose to stay.

At least the vast majority of the border troops will choose to stay, because Chongzhen has given too much.

Not to mention the reissue of 325 yuan of settling-in allowance, you can also buy 25 acres of Entian at the ultra-low price of 225 yuan, which is almost a free gift, where to find such a good thing?

……

In fact, it's pretty much the same.

As soon as the well-informed general spoke, Yang Ponu, Wang Laoshi and other dozens of generals and whistle chiefs blew up, and their eyes began to light up with excitement.

"Entering the mother thief, there is such a good thing?"

"Then we can really settle down in Xuzhou."

"In that case, I'll have to go back to my hometown quickly."

"I also have to go back to my hometown to marry my daughter-in-law."

"I have to take my father and mother over and live together."

"Ma Laosan, your mother didn't lie to us, did you?"

"Honest Wang, what am I lying to you about, are you idle?"

"Is that true? Oh, I don't believe it. ”

"Ma Laosan, then I want to buy an extra fifty acres of grace land, okay."

"Yang Ponu, what do you want, twenty-five acres per person, just this amount, there is not one more acre."

"That's it, you think everyone can be so generous with you, you can take out more than 100 taels of silver at once, if you buy an extra 50 acres of grace land, won't others have to buy less?"

"That's it, Yang Ponu, you are not allowed to rob us of the quota."

While he was talking, a gentleman of King Qin walked into the camp.

"Meet the sir." Yang Ponu and the other generals and sentry commanders hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Qin Wang Shizi replied, got up and said: "In Xia Xu Yan, I have come to this town to announce the distribution of salaries and bounties, may I ask if the general and sentinel of this town are already here?" ”

"Mr. Hui, it's already here." Yang Ponu replied respectfully.

"Okay." Xu Yan nodded, and then said, "I have an edict that all the 4,837 soldiers in this town will retire from active duty from this moment, and those who want to return to their hometowns can go to the Xuzhou branch of the Ming Royal Silver Number with their identity cards to receive a total of 30 taels of silver for five months, plus 2 taels of bounty for the Battle of Xuzhou." ”

"If you want to continue to stay in Xuzhou Zhentai militia,"

"In addition to the thirty taels of war pay and two taels of bounty, the saint will pay an additional thirty taels of Anjia silver, but this thirty taels of Anjiayin can only be used to buy Entian, and cannot be used for other purposes."

"You can also buy additional fields, but no more than twenty-five acres!"

"In addition, all the militia in Xuzhou Zhentai do not need to pay land taxes, let alone Ding Yin and forced labor."

Hearing this, Yang Ponu and the others were almost crazy, and they all looked at Xu Yan with disbelief.
