Chapter 115: Reward
It's just that how to reward Yan Yuanmo has become a difficult problem.
Yan Yuanmo himself is already a supreme minister.
Chen Guogong, the next step is Wang Cai, and he is now also the Zuo Du Governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, a member of the First Rank, and even his mother and wife have long been a First Rank Edict.
His starting point was already very high, and he was also competitive, and he won great victories in many attacks on Mongolia, and now he has made great contributions in the southeast.
"Huang Banban, what do you say?" Jiajing kicked the old eunuch next to him. Huang Jin is his old man, when he was in the palace, he was already by the side of Emperor Jiajing, and in the end of Jiajing, he did not pretend to be to other eunuchs, but he was very kind to Huang Jin, and now he is also asking his opinion:
"Adding the Taishi, rewarding gold and silver, and adding money, just like this, I always feel that it is not his merit."
"You can add a little other reward to show His Majesty's favor for him, just like the Forbidden City didn't get off the horse before."
Huang Jin said cautiously, the meaning is more clear, mainly use this symbolic reward to replace the substantive reward, however, this is not a complete verbal check, after all, many rewards such as sword shoes in the palace are great honors, I don't know how many people would rather not want gold and silver officials, but also want such rewards, and for these, the emperor actually does not need to pay too much substantive things.
Jiajing smiled, he nodded and said:
"It's still the heart of the yellow companion!"
"Then, give Chen Guogong python clothes, go to the palace with a sword, and the edict is unknown!"
The sword goes to the palace and the edict is not named, this is a great glory that can be achieved by a minister! There are also supporting the fact that there is no trend in the court, praise and worship, and the police and so on. With Emperor Jiajing's love for Yan Yuanmo, in fact, he is willing to give a few more rewards.
However, Jiajing is still a political veteran after all, and firstly, he understands that he can't be so indiscriminately sealed, and secondly, if he is really rewarded like this, it is estimated that people will think that he is hinting at something, and Yan Yuanmo may not be able to sleep.
After all, those who can collect these things, except for a few loyal ministers who have made great contributions to the society, are only Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sima Yi, Yang Jian, Li Yuan and the like......
Basically, the next step is to "add nine tin, crown nine yin, fake Jieyue, and drive the car of the Son of Heaven", and then "three let three words, announce the world, and build a platform to let Zen".
It's almost a fixed process.
It's better not to be misunderstood.
However, although there are only two things, this is already a great honor, and it is distinguished from the ministers from now on, and has privileges that no one else has. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, when the monarchy's centralized power was greatly strengthened, even if there was only one, it was already extremely scarce, and there were only a few people.
Yan Yuanmo had two things in one go, which showed the emperor's favor for him, and even Huang Jin sighed secretly in his heart.
Even if it is himself and Lu Bing, who also grew up with the emperor, although the favor is also great, it is far better than many of this Chen Guogong!
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Thinking so in his heart, Huang Jin already congratulated him with great eyesight:
"Your Majesty has such a reward, Chen Guogong will definitely feel the immensity of heaven's grace and do his best for the Ming Dynasty; When the ministers saw it, they will definitely strive to be the first to win this honor, and Jiajing Zhongxing is well deserved! ”
"It's just, Your Majesty, it's better to send Chen Guogong less to go on expeditions in the future, and you have to give others a chance to make meritorious contributions."
He said with a grin, but there was a different meaning between the words.
Jiajing was stunned for a moment, then nodded clearly, and already tasted the taste.
There is no way to seal it, although Yan Yuanmo lacks the kind of merit that is enough to shine in future generations, so that he will not be high-ranking and shocking, but if it goes on like this, it will have a bad impact after all.
"In addition, for the reward for the surrender of Xu Hai...... Jiajing mentioned another thing.
Xu Hai made a great contribution in this battle, if it weren't for his backwater, the Ming army couldn't find the location of the Japanese Kou at all, and he did it in one battle, and he also personally took action, killed and captured a number of Japanese leaders, and even Wang Zhi was captured by him and offered prisoners to His Majesty, which was really a great achievement, and the imperial court of course wanted to be rewarded.
Huang Jin then seemed to think of something and said:
"Hu Zongxian, the governor of Xuanda, immediately went up to the southeast after learning of the great victory in the southeast, and asked to behead Xu Hai immediately to comfort the people of the southeast."
So ruthless! Jiajing visibly pursed his lips, obviously not approving of this.
Killing Xu Hai is certainly relieving, but the credibility of the Ming Dynasty is gone, and at this point, Emperor Jiajing is still very clear.
"Give it a commander!" He thought about it and made a decision.
……
Japan, the outer waters of Hirado Island.
A naval battle is going on here.
No, it's not so much a naval battle as a torture.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The sound of shelling was incessant, and the battleships that Wang Zhi stayed behind here were sinking one after another, and they were no match for the Luzon Navy at all.
What's more, the news that "Wang Zhi is dead" that went viral on the island two days ago made their resistance not very firm.
Since Wang Zhi is dead, why continue to work for him?
Although his ambitious subordinates quickly took over the command of his troops and tried to become Wang Zhi's second, it was clear that he did not have Wang Zhi's ability, and the pirates did not obey him.
In this case, the ships that met were either sunk or quickly raised and lowered.
Luzon's army was overwhelmed and landed on the island of Hirado, where they never again met organized resistance.
The savings that Wang Zhi had kept here for several years were easily taken over by the Luzon army, including four million taels of silver and thousands of new muskets and artillery.
He didn't know how long it took him to have such a rich family foundation, and now all of them have been taken over by the Governor's Mansion of Luzon.
Winner takes all.
The banner of the Luzon Governor's Palace was soon raised in the sky above Matsuurajin, Wang's stronghold, standing in the wind, announcing the arrival of a new conqueror here.
The Japanese people looked up at this unfamiliar flag, but there was no unusual reaction.
Over the years, the city has changed its banner, and they have become accustomed to the constant change of ownership of the city.
Is it Luzon, or is it Japanese...... Is there a difference? Even the people under Luzon are living a little better, at least they will not collect their taxes in advance for the next year.
Seeing this scene, the chief of the navy was also relieved, which meant that the rule was basically solid.
As for those princes of Japan?
A sneer crossed the corner of the Navy's mouth.
They didn't even dare to make a move against Wang Zhi, let alone them who were countless times stronger than Wang Zhi?
Now, this ocean belongs to the Governor's Palace of Luzon completely!
