Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 394: Unbridled Rewards
The Great Ming destroyed Dongpu, which is truly an unrivaled achievement!

This time, not only did he clean up this wolf-like neighbor, so that future generations would not be harmed by it, but he also opened up a huge territory for Daming.

It can be said that since the Hongwu Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has not had such great achievements.

Naturally, such great achievements should be publicized, and meritorious officers and soldiers should be rewarded generously.

Taichang specially ordered people to set up a huge altar outside Edo City, recreating the glory of confinement to a wolf.

Han, Champion Marquis, Great General, Huo Qubing, Expedition to the north of the Xiongnu, chasing the Huns for thousands of miles, destroying their royal court, climbing the wolf to live on Xu Mountain, building altars to worship the heavens, and exalting the prestige of our country.

Today, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are on an expedition across the sea, annihilating the Japanese pirates, flattening the East, expanding the territory, and making great achievements in the world!
.

Holding the sacrificial oration in his hand, Taichang recited impassionedly, and immediately began to award meritorious service to the soldiers.

This time, he fully conferred two first-class dukes, one first-class marquis, several first-class earls, and a bunch of second-class earls to fifth-class barons.

The first person to be granted the title was the first-class Duke of Wu, Qi Jin.

Qi Jin's feats are simply too numerous to enumerate. Since the Wanli Dynasty, he has been fighting for the country. He has participated in countless battles and destroyed countless enemy troops.

A general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns after ten years.

He has fought for Daming for more than 40 years!
Daming can't let this outstanding veteran pass away in obscurity!

Now that he is old, it's time for him to enjoy the happiness in Fengguo.

As for his feudal states, they were the original Dongying Gyeonggi Five Kingdoms Mountain City, Settsu, Yamato, Hanoi, and Izumi, plus Kii, Iga, and Ise.

Of course, this feudal state, like the New Tang State Mansion, is just a new state capital under the Ming Dynasty, and all officials are also sent by the imperial court.

Like Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, he only manages the land for the court, and at the same time enjoys half of the extra tax revenue.

As for this new state capital, it is called Wuguo Gongfu, and all the so-called vassal states and sub-counties in Dongying were also changed to prefectures and counties.

The second recipient was Yuan Keli, the first-class Wen Guogong.

Yuan Keli has also served the country since the Wanli Dynasty, and his achievements are too numerous to enumerate, especially the contribution to the recovery of Liaodong, the formation of the Navy and the contribution to the conquest of Japan, each of which can be called a great achievement.

He is also old now, and it is time to enjoy the happiness in Fengguo.

As for his feudal country, it is a bit special, that is Hokkaido, which is not among the 66 countries in Japan.

Of course, it should be called Daming Wenguo Mansion at this moment.

The area there is more than double that of Kyushu Island!

However, it is not yet developed there.

Taichang also wanted Yuan Keli to use some of his spare energy to develop it.

As for the first-class Marquis, it is Shen Yourong, the first-class Marquis of Dinghai.

Shen Yourong also started to fight for the country since the Wanli Dynasty, and his meritorious deeds are too numerous to enumerate, such as regaining Dongfan, defending Penghu, expelling Japanese pirates, forming a navy, and conquering Japan, etc. are all great achievements.

Now that he is old, he should enjoy the blessings in Fengguo.

As for his feudal country, it was originally the territory of the Maori clan of Changzhou Fan.

That is Nagato country, Zhou Fang country, Bizen country, Bi China, Bin Go country and Misaku country.

Of course, at this moment it is no longer called Changzhou Fan, but Dinghaihou Mansion.

As for the first-class earl, the first is Qin Minping, the first-class Guandong Bo.

His feats are too numerous to enumerate, such as recovering Liaodong, pacifying the Northwest Tusi Rebellion, and conquering Dongying.

In addition, there are first-class Guanxi Bo Cao Wenzhao, first-class Shanyang Bossun Zushou, first-class Dongshan Bo Ma Xianglin, etc. These are generals who have repeatedly made military exploits in previous wars.

There are also Lu Xiangsheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, generals of Shenjiying and Shenwuying, including Zhang Yuanfang, the chief soldier of the Eastern Navy, and Yu Zigao, the chief soldier of the Nanyang Navy, all of whom have the title of earl.

Although they don't have a feudal land yet, as long as they continue to fight for Ming Dynasty, they will have their own feudal state sooner or later.

In addition, the Shenji Battalion, Shenwu Battalion, Dongyang Navy, Beiyang Navy, and Nanyang Navy generals who made outstanding contributions in this war also conferred a bunch of viscounts and barons.

These generals and schools have a lot of room for promotion, as long as they can continue to make meritorious service, there are dukes and earls waiting for them.

In addition, the ordinary soldiers who killed the enemy and made meritorious service in this war were also promoted and rewarded with gold and silver according to the number of enemies killed.

With this generous reward, the soldiers of the three armies were cheering and shouting excitedly, only wishing that the emperor would lead them to continue to expand the territory and give them the opportunity to make contributions again.

However, the feudal kings who were picked up to watch the ceremony were like wilted eggplants, dejected.

Because the vassal states in Dongying seem to have been sealed off, they seem to have no lands!
There is a reason why Taichang ordered people to take them over.

After rewarding the meritorious officers and men, he brought several vassal kings into the commander's tent.

At this moment, there is still a large table in the middle of the handsome tent, and there is a huge map of Japan on it.

Of course, Dongying is no longer called Dongying at this moment, but is called Daming Dongyangcheng to announce the political envoy.

His original idea of ​​setting up an overseas governor has also changed.

Because it was a method thought up by the European barbarians, and there were too many loopholes, so there was absolutely no need for Da Ming to learn from others.

If you imitate others and engage in overseas governors, it will be over sooner or later!
Only Chengxuan Zhengshisi who directly became Ming Dynasty can have long-term peace and stability.

Taichang took a few vassals to look around the map, and then asked: "How about it, what do you think?"

We think a lot.

Just one main idea.

Why don't we have fiefs?
You agreed to change domains with us.

Why did Tang Wang have a vassal state, but we don't?

Of course, this is hard to say.

They didn't dare to talk to Taichang like that.

Therefore, several vassal kings were still full of frustration and did not say a word.

Seeing this, Taichang continued to ask: "Do you think these meritorious soldiers should be rewarded generously?"

The emperor is asking questions, you can't keep silent!
If we keep silent, the emperor will be angry.

If the emperor is angry, we will be in big trouble.

Rui Wang Zhu Changhao had no choice but to step forward and replied on behalf of several vassal kings: "The emperor is wise, the soldiers who have made meritorious service should be rewarded generously, so that they will work hard to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

That's right.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then pointed to the original Meinong State Road on the map: "The nine states near here will be granted to you, and this will be Xinrui State Mansion in the future. You have to learn from King Tang and make this new state The Ruiguo Mansion will be managed by me."

Rui Wang Zhu Changhao couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words: "Thank you, Brother Huang, thank you, Brother Huang."

The other vassal kings regretted it too much.

How could they have imagined that if they just answered a question from the emperor, they would have a feudal kingdom!
This, of course, is not the case.

Taichang looked at them and said earnestly: "You have also seen how many soldiers paid for these lands with blood and sweat. Millions of Ming soldiers fought for years, how much blood and sweat did they pay? Therefore, I cannot seal this land. Give it to the incompetent, if you give it to the incompetent to mess around, then the blood and sweat of the soldiers will be paid, do you understand?"

What do we understand?

Your Majesty, you call us incompetent people!

The few remaining vassal kings couldn't help but be bewildered.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed: "You need to learn more, you know? If you don't know how to govern the feudal kingdom at all, how can I trust you to govern the feudal state?"

Oh, that's what it means.

It looks like there is still a chance!

Hui Wang Zhu Changrun heard the words, and couldn't help but look forward to saying: "Brother Emperor, what do you mean, as long as we learn the ability to govern the kingdom, you will give us fiefs, right?"

bingo.

However, there is no reward.

Because all the land in Japan has been sealed off!
Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Yes, as long as you have learned the skills, I can safely hand over the feudal kingdom to you to govern. How about this, you can find a nearby college to study and try to get a reputation. I don't have high requirements. As long as you can get the honor of being a scholar, I will give you feudal states. You can rest assured that the expansion of the Ming Dynasty has just begun, and there will be opportunities in the future."

what?
You have to take the examination of a scholar to have a feudal state!

When the vassal kings heard the words, their faces changed.

It's not so easy to be admitted as a scholar.

King Rui Zhu Changhao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

Fortunately, fortunately, he has a feudal kingdom.

You know, he won't be able to pass the exam as a scholar at this moment!

But Taichang immediately stared at him and said: "Also, in the future, your eldest son will have to be sent to the capital to study. Without fame, you can't inherit the position of vassal king, let alone inherit the vassal state!"

I can't let a bunch of ignorant vassals destroy Daming!
