East Palace.

Zhu Houzhao didn't have classes that morning...... In other words, he was waiting for Zhang Zhou to teach him a lesson, and he was listening to Liu Jin spit Xingzi Hengfei about the process of the first battle in Liaodong that he knew.

“…… The cannonballs fell from the sky, could hit three or four miles away, and after landing, they exploded in a large area, and the Tartar cavalry didn't even have a place to hide, and some didn't know how to die until they died. That's more powerful than the gunpowder of the mighty sky, the gunpowder of the mighty sky is just buried in the ground, waiting for the Tartar to step on it by itself, and Zhang Shi's cannon is where to hit it......"

Liu Jin spoke very energetically.

Among the audience, Zhu Houzhao listened very energetically.

Only Gao Feng and the others who were listening next to him didn't think so, you Liu really regard Zhang Zhou as a backer now, I forgot how to target Zhang Zhou before? Now I can't blow Zhang Zhou to the sky and the earth, do you still want to have a face?

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said: "This palace knows that with Mr. Zhang here, anything can be solved, and when this palace goes to the battlefield in the future, let him make a kind of artillery that can fight twenty miles, and then use a telescope that can see a hundred miles away, and then I want to hit whoever I want, and see who has the ability to fight against this palace!" ”

At this time, Gao Feng and the others were embarrassed again.

I thought that Liu Jin was already too much to brag about Zhang Zhou, but I didn't expect that the little prince's respect for Zhang Zhou seemed to be higher.

This pair of strange masters and servants ...... The Tatars haven't treated Zhang Zhou as a god yet, you first worship Zhang Zhou as a god!?

Gu Dayong walked over and reminded: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the artillery can only hit a distance of one or two miles at most, Mr. Zhang's cannon, of course, is powerful, but it is also because Hu Lu is defenseless, after this battle, they easily dare not approach the city pass of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at Gu Dayong and said, "Are you questioning the power of artillery?" ”

"Uh...... The slave did not dare. Gu Dayong immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Now to say something relatively neutral and fair, the prince has been so blind, probably not to mention the remarks that are unfavorable to Zhang Zhou.

This pair of master and servant, as well as this pair of father and son...... I'm fascinated!

Zhu Houzhao said: "The first time you use this kind of cannon, you can hit two or three miles, and then you can fight four or five miles or even more than ten miles, is it too much?" Besides, if the Tatars don't even dare to approach the city pass of the Ming Dynasty, will there be any wars in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty in the future? The army of the Ming Dynasty can also push the artillery out of the city, and the Tatars will not flee from the wind by then? ”

Gu Dayong wanted to say, Your Highness, you are too optimistic.

But after thinking about it carefully, it sounds quite reasonable, huh?

If this artillery is so powerful, then what Tatars are worried about? Where the artillery is, the Tatars will not dare to be there, and if the Ming Dynasty places a few more guns, won't it be possible to keep the peace?

Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "What about Mr. Zhang?" Let him come, let him come. ”

Now Zhu Houzhao has been in class with Zhang Zhou for a few days, and he has regarded Zhang Zhou as a teacher, not that he is really serious about learning, but he wants to stammer Zhang Zhou...... In order to realize his ambition to lead troops to the grassland in the future.

If he can't get a good deal with Zhang Zhou, and Zhang Zhou doesn't give him those powerful killing weapons, his dream of stepping on the grassland may not be realized for the rest of his life.

The meaning of life in the next few decades is tied to Zhang Zhou, can this not be taken seriously?

Liu Jin smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Master Zhang is now in Fengtian Palace, today is the day to reward him for his meritorious deeds, I heard that he may be given a marquis or something." ”

"Marquis? It's not high. Zhu Houzhao doesn't seem to be very satisfied with this level.

Liu Jin said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the marquis is already very high, Wang Weining has made so many military exploits in the northwest, and he is just a Marquis of Weining." Moreover, Master Zhang has only tried his hand at the knife, and in the future, he will assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to pacify the grassland......"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, what's the hurry? Father, he has no ambition for the grassland, this palace is different from him, how eloquent is this palace? This is to say that the father and the palace are defeated when they play checkers. Liu Jin, study hard with Mr. Zhang in the future, and let you wait by the side when the palace goes to the grassland. ”

Zhu Houzhao is now happily looking forward to the scene of stepping on the grassland in the future.

Liu Jinzhi was proud, and glanced at the surrounding eunuchs and said, "The slave will definitely study hard." ”

"Then it also depends on whether Mr. Zhang is willing to teach you, the attitude must be sincere, and you don't have to learn everything, you have learned what else is going on in this palace? But there are some complicated art of war or something, it's up to you to learn, this palace doesn't want to remember those obscure essentials of the art of war, and it's a headache to listen to......"

At this time, Gao Feng and the others felt a chill down their backs.

This bear child, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, seems to be too similar to the rumored Emperor of the Gate, all of them want to rely on a eunuch to go on the expedition?

But it seems that this one is better, at least there is a bullish Zhang Bingkuan.

"Go!" Zhu Houzhao said, "Go to Fengtian Hall and watch, if it is over there, come back early and inform the palace, the palace is waiting to learn the tactics of artillery combat from him." ”

You Qiu Ju came out and reminded: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you forgotten that Your Majesty will not allow you to send someone to watch outside?" ”

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said: "This palace is dedicated to learning, and my father doesn't support it?" If you don't have any eyesight, you all have to study hard with Liu Jin! Don't always add to the blockage! ”

"Yes."

Qiu Ju also looked sad.

In the military and political affairs before, especially when it came to cavalry operations, because he had learned some related content before, Zhu Houzhao liked to ask him very much.

But now Liu Jin can not only manage the prince to have fun, but also want to intervene in the matter of leading soldiers to fight, which makes the living space of the remaining eunuchs in the East Palace gradually decrease.

The sense of crisis runs through every eunuch present, even Liu Jin is no exception.

……

……

Inside the Fengtian Temple.

Xiao Jing further summarized the battle situation in Liaodong and reported it, because the end of the war was close to two days, and the time when the news was sent was also after the return of the troops, almost all the results of the battle could be counted.

However, to Zhu Youji's slight regret, the final statistics showed that the number of dead cavalry of the Duoyan Three Guards still did not exceed 1,000.

Nine hundred and seventy people......

Whether it is more than 1,000 or not seems to be very different in terms of merit, especially this time not only to reward Zhu Feng and Zhang Yanling, but also to reward Zhang Zhou.

You must know that in the last time the battle of the partial head pass, in the end, it was only promoted to a marquis, and in the end, it was only promoted to an earl, if you want to be promoted too much this time, there will be a problem of "precedent" that the civil official group has been concerned about.

But fortunately, this time it seems that there is no trouble from Marquis Zhang Zhousheng.

“…… I originally wanted to give Zhang Qing's family the position of Yongning Hou, but he repeatedly refused, so I made some changes to this matter. ”

Yongningbo is the title of Tan Guang, a famous general who guarded the Xuanfu in the Ming Dynasty and repeatedly broke the Tatars, but Tan Guang did not get the world certificate during his lifetime, so he did not pass on the title of Yongningbo, but only posthumously awarded the title of Marquis of Yongning.

In history, after Zhu Changluo ascended the throne of Mingguangzong, the title of Earl Yongning was canonized to Wang Tianrui, the father of the queen.

This time, Zhu Youzhi intended to give Zhang Zhou the title of "Marquis of Yongning", which not only meant to take Yongning in the northwest, but also seemed to reflect Zhang Zhou and Tan Guang's original deeds, after all, Zhang Zhou was also the credit for breaking the Tatars.

Zhu Youzhu said again: "The title of Marquis of Yongning, I don't mean that I won't be rewarded, let's write it down for the time being, this is his merit in helping the Ming Dynasty to break the enemy." I want to promote him to the governor of the rear army, the governor of the palace, the governor of the army, the arsenal of the military department, the commander of the army, the commander of the artillery, and stay in the Hanlin courtyard to give lectures for the Hanlin servants, and usually serve on the day of the feast. Give a son of Yin Jinyi to command the affairs, and a son of Yin Jinyi to guard thousands of households...... I will reward the rest as I see fit. ”

Too many official positions are given.

When Zhu Youzhu finished speaking, the ministers present all stared at each other.

Wu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zhang Zhou hung up the position of the governor's office, he was still a civil official in name, after all, the emperor said that Zhang Zhou's daily errand was the business of the Hanlin Academy.

And the civil officials are wondering, Zhang Zhou is both a civil and a military officer, is he a civil minister or a military general? What is his position in the court in the future? If you don't have a knighthood, you can also directly lead the post of the governor of the military capital and the governor of the palace?

And what does it mean to write down his title first?

Since ancient times, those who have knighthoods have been rewarded, even if they refuse, then they will not be rewarded? Why do you need to write it down?

Zhu Youzhu saw that the people present were silent, and said coldly: "What is your opinion? ”

The ministers present were embarrassed.

Herein lies the trouble.

It's not good to oppose it.

Zhang Zhou was knighted for meritorious service, which was justified, and there were no civil officials at all, and the emperor wrote it down for him, just let him take the false position of the Governor's Mansion and continue to work in the Hanlin Academy, what's wrong with mentioning a waiter? As for the position of the soldier...... The emperor also said that it was just for his convenience to supervise the construction of artillery, and he did not need to be responsible for the affairs of the yamen.

It seems that the only thing that can be protested is to directly promote Zhang Zhou to serve as a Hanlin attendant to talk about this matter.

He has only been in the Hanlin Academy for half a month, and he has been promoted to speak?

Am you not mistaken?

Even if he has outstanding military achievements, what does it matter to him as a civilian?

Then a bunch of people were waiting for the three cabinet elders, or the officials and the ministers and the ministers to come out to oppose them...... And then it was silent.

"If there is no opinion, then the matter is settled." Zhu Youzhu said.

Still no one said anything.

"Officials." Zhu Youzhu said.

"The minister is here."

Tu Tu walked out.

Zhu Youzhu said: "The Ministry of Discretion will implement his official position and other matters, and the affairs of the Governor's Mansion will also be settled for him." Other than that...... I will also send some brocade guards to protect him, and now he is related to the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and I also explained that if there is no major event, he will basically not go out of the city, and no one will visit him for no reason in the future, and then give him a mansion. ”

Zhang Zhou was still listening casually.

After all, what he said before was all said in advance, and he also knew that an agreement had been reached between the emperor and Wenchen, and now it was just announcing the results.

When he heard that he was going to give himself a house, he glared.

Giving a house to this kind of thing, the ministers present are really not qualified to come out and oppose it, who does the emperor want to give a house, that is the emperor's own business, and the ministers also need to come out and give opinions casually and say that it is inconvenient to give?

"Is there a courtyard in Beijing that is suitable for Bingkuan to live in?" Zhu Youzhi asked Dai Yi on the side in front of the minister.

Dai Yi first looked up at Zhang Zhou, and said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, Li Guang built a mansion in Beijing before, which is located in the north of the city, and the feng shui is excellent, so it may be given to Mr. Zhang." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded with satisfaction, "This matter is decided." ”

Boy.

The ministers present were secretly crying in their hearts.

Originally, I thought that Zhang Zhou was like Li Guang, but now the emperor doesn't hide it, that's right, I just treat him as Li Guang's No. 2, and it is a strengthened version of Li Guang.

Li Guang's house was given to him to live in, do you have any opinions?

Zhu Youzhu also added: "If there is something that is not suitable in feng shui, you can let Zhang Qing's family change it by yourself, as long as it does not exceed the rules of the prince, everything should be cooperated." ”

"Yes." Dai Yi responded with a smile.

Look.

There is no harm if there is no contrast.

Before Li Guang led the water of Yuquan Mountain to his mansion to form a small artificial river, a bunch of people criticized that this was bad for the feng shui of the Ming Dynasty, but now the emperor explained that if this does not make Zhang Zhou feel satisfied, he can also let him continue to strengthen it, in short, everything is for Zhang Zhou to live comfortably.

……

……

Zhang Zhouli was there.

It was a joy to get the reward of the house, and Li Guang's house he went to on the day he raided the house, and he was indeed very envious.

That big mansion, there are hundreds of people living in the family, and it is still a rich and prosperous place in the capital, but it is not a house outside the city, and it is naturally worth a lot.

But he was really given to his own hands.

Zhang Zhou was about to ponder the strange eyes of the people around him.

But after thinking about it again, this group of people has long equated themselves with Li Guang, so it is necessary to care what they think? Now as long as you care about what the emperor thinks, and in the future, you can care about what the prince thinks, and that's enough!

"Your Majesty." Ma Wensheng walked out and said, "Now that the First World War in Liaodong has ended, I don't know who should continue to oversee Liaodong's military affairs?" The previous right-hand capital Yushi Zhang Yu, I don't know how to deal with it? As well as Liaodong military affairs and other matters, involving Ningyuan, there should also be a decision. ”

Approximate meaning.

The war in Ningyuan is over, and a bunch of "strong dragons" were sent to suppress the "ground snakes" before, and the matter should also be over.

If Zhu Feng and the others were left in Ningyuan, they were afraid that the next step would be to form a battle between the Beijing faction and the local faction for the sake of rewarding military achievements, and there would be a mutiny if there was a big incident.

The main credit is on Zhu Feng, and it is also Zhu Feng who is promoted to the knighthood, but the war is done by local soldiers, even if Ren Liang knows that he does not contribute much, but when he asks for rewards for his merits, he sees others adding officials to the knighthood and he gets very few rewards, can he balance his heart?

Zhu Youzhu said: "I should have mentioned the exploits of An Bianbo, Jianchangbo and Ping Jiangbo. ”

I talked about it for a long time before, and I was mentioning Zhang Zhou's credit.

Now the emperor also seems to remember that the main executors of this war are these three.

Originally, the credit was also due to the three of them.

But why...... Today, even we think that we should reward Zhang Bingkuan first?

"An Bian Bo led the troops to the battle, brave and strategic, the implementation of Zhang Qing's opinions can be said to be very thorough, this battle is a huge contribution, I am ready to crown him as An Bian Hou, give the world coupons."

"As for Pingjiangbo, he personally led the troops to pursue and won a lot, but he was at fault during the first battle of Yaotouguan, which can be regarded as a merit and demerit, so the lord did not move, and added him to 1,400 stones, and transferred him to Yansui to replace Chengguo Gong as the chief military officer of Yansui."

Zhu Youzhu seemed to finally see at this time that Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, was a bear bag without Zhang Zhouer's life.

In the eyes of the emperor, Zhu Fu was not even as good as his son Zhu Feng.

So this time, after Chen Rui proved himself in Liaodong, the emperor immediately transferred him to Yansui to replace Zhu Fu, who had been criticized a lot recently.

Chen Rui is also a ...... proved his worth with his military exploits, reinvigorated his prestige in the army, even if it was just a plus, he could raise his eyebrows in the army in the future.

But the name of "Chen Liangjiu" is estimated to be indelible for a while and a half, unless it ...... Wang Weining burped early, otherwise Wang Weining would be here, whether it was "Chen Liangjiu" or "Zhu Shrinking Head", he would live in the shadow of others.

Wang Yue is also the only one among the generals of the Ming Dynasty in the northwest, who has the ability to break away from the opening of the Zhou self-reliance portal and can also deter the grassland.

Wang Yue is also very acquainted, and he can obviously break away from Zhang Zhou, but he is more willing to bind Zhang Zhou, which is called enlightenment.

"As for Jian Changbo."

Zhu Youzhu finally talked about the deeds of a person who was present and Wu Xun cared about.

When the emperor rewarded Zhang Zhou before, no one came out to oppose it, because they felt that they couldn't oppose it.

But now, if the emperor wants to easily add an official to the second child of the Zhang family...... See if we don't get him involved! We clearly remember that this bastard boy went to the northwest with a sin, and later transferred to Liaodong.

If you don't punish him for meritorious service, you still want to reward him?

“…… In this battle, Jian Changbo also proved that he was not bad, and he had the courage to make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and even killed an enemy with his own hands, which impressed me. ”

"But his previous sins for the plague were great, and this time, even if it is to reduce his sins by half."

What?

When the ministers present heard this, something was wrong.

Is the emperor so transsexual today?

Sin in half? What does that mean...... Keeping half of his sins, right? Instead of rewarding, continue to wear sin?

It seems that Your Majesty, you only have Zhang Bingkuan in your heart at the moment, and even your beloved Zhang family brothers have fallen out of favor and been beaten into the cold palace now?

In that case, why did you send the second child of the Zhang family to Liaodong to find trouble? Wouldn't it be nice to get this credit for someone else?

"I am going to go to Yansui with Uncle Pingjiang to help guard the local affairs." Zhu Youzhu said, "Do you have any objections? ”

Before, Zhang Zhou's side was not good at objecting.

This time, the big guy still doesn't object, because ...... Don't want to object.

Your Majesty's move was very wise, and the ministers agreed with it very much.

Xie Qian walked out and smiled, before he could speak, everyone else was thinking, what did you Xie Yuqiao come out against at this time? Go back, go back!

Xie Qian didn't speak for Zhang Yanling, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Pingjiang and Uncle Jianchang have already been rewarded, I don't know how to dispatch Uncle Anbian?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "It's already Anbian Hou!" Transfer him back to Beijing, and I will have another use. ”
