Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 72 The first achievement of the Northern Expedition, the Great Ming God!
Before setting off for the Northern Expedition, Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang said that the limit he could do was to protect the division, but not to win.

Zhu Yuanzhang's answer to him was that as long as he brought Li Wenzhong's army back safely, he would be considered a full success.

But now, because of Yang Xian's existence, he not only successfully rescued Lan Yu and Geng Bingwen's vanguard troops, but also directly severely damaged Wang Baobao's army.

In the next at least one or two years, the steppe Tatars will no longer dare to invade the border at will.

The news spread back to the court and immediately shocked both the government and the public.

Zhu Yuanzhang said six good words in a row in Fengtian Palace.

Xu Da attributed the greatest contribution to this campaign to Yang Xian, although this is the fact.But in the eyes of some people, they don’t think so.

Next, is the matter of rewards.

After the dispersion of the dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biaoye began to discuss what kind of reward should be given to Yang Xian.

"Boss, please tell me what title should be given to Yang Xian this time." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

What title was asked, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang planned to knight Yang Xian from the beginning.

"According to Uncle Xu's report, Yang Qing took the lead in this Northern Expedition. He not only anticipated Wang Baobao's raid on Beiping City in advance, but also used the new gunpowder he invented during the defense of the city to severely damage Wang Baobao's main army of more than [-] people. And we in Peiping The defenders suffered almost no casualties."

Zhu Biao raised his head, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said tentatively: "I think it is better to make him an earl. After all, Yang Qing's mentor, Liu Zhongcheng, is also an earl."

The title of the Ming Dynasty is divided into five levels, and the prince is male.

The earl happened to be in the middle position. Liu Bowen mentioned by Zhu Biao was the one who was granted the title of Earl of Chengyi.

It can be said that Zhu Biao's proposal is reasonable.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote a big word "Hou" on the paper.

"Father, do you want to make Yang Qing Marquis?" Zhu Biao asked in surprise.

Zhu Benn himself was naturally very optimistic about Yang Xian. Not to mention the Marquis, he believed that Yang Xian deserved to be granted a public title based on his contribution to the country.

But what surprised him was that his father Zhu Yuanzhang would do this.

In Chinese history, there were two emperors who succeeded in peasant uprisings, and their base was based on friends from the same hometown.

The first is Liu Bang, and the second is Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Liu Bang became emperor, all the friends who had been drinking in the village were promoted and reused, such as Xia Houying, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Xiao He, Cao Shen, etc.

The same is true for Zhu Yuanzhang. The reason why there is the term Huaixi Honorable Men is because most of his fellow Huaixi fellows have been awarded honors and rewards.

Not to mention others, among the six founding Dukes: Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Deng Yu, Chang Mao (Ding's father Chang Yuchun), Feng Sheng, and Li Wenzhong were all from Huaixi.

From this point of view, if you want to enter the Duke's pool, if you are not from Huaixi, don't even think about it.

Those who were granted the title of Marquis were not from Huaixi, and they basically followed Zhu Yuanzhang early.

That is, the team he had before he really took off.

It can be said that the sooner someone follows Zhu Yuanzhang, the greater the reward he will later receive. After all, they are old brothers who have carried guns together, endured hunger together, and killed people together.Since he is an old brother, he has to take care of himself.

With very few exceptions, they all made significant contributions to Zhu Yuanzhang's victory.Of course, Liu Bowen couldn't make a marquis because of his own reasons.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and smiled: "I know Tiande. He said that Yang Xian was the first contributor, so Yang Xian was the first contributor in this battle. And judging from the content of his report, Yang Xian is still a rare general. His His military merit is not only the victory of the Northern Expedition, but what I value more is the new type of gunpowder he invented. With such a powerful weapon, what should the Tatars in the north have to fear. In the future, the pacification of Mobei will be just around the corner. With such credit, Feng Feng Hou Chuo is more than enough."

"And there's one more thing, boss, you have to remember."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao, his smile faded, and he said seriously: "It is precisely because Yang Xian's mentor Liu Fuzi is only an earl, so Yang Xian must be a marquis."

"My son, I know." Zhu Biao said with a serious look on his face.

"The next step is to ban the title. Boss, what kind of title would you recommend?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile on his face again. "Since the new gunpowder invented by Yang Xian is so powerful, how about making him a god?"

"."

Zhu Biao was silent for a moment and then said: "Father, Yang Qing's contribution is not only in the military. In addition to new gunpowder, the most recent one is wool processing. I have discussed it with him before. , according to Yang Qing’s method, within three years, none of us, the people of the Ming Dynasty, will suffer from the cold again.”

"Coupled with the salt-making method and asphalt roads that were first contributed, every new initiative brought by Yang Qing along the way seems to be like... to our Ming Dynasty." Zhu Biao thought about it. , then spoke. "It seems like a miracle."

"How about removing the word "fire" and sealing it with the word "god"?

"Marquis of God?" Zhu Yuanzhang murmured in a low voice.

The Ming Dynasty God Marquis uses the word "divine" as his title. Such an awesome title is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented!
It is conceivable that once this title is made public, it will definitely shock the entire government and opposition parties.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and smiled: "The boss seems to be very optimistic about Yang Xian."

"Yes." Zhu Biao raised his head, looked directly at his father, and replied firmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly pleased. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, then it's settled. When the time comes, you will personally give the reward."

The Ming Dynasty's northern expedition army returned in triumph.

Yang Xian submitted a memorial and was taken to the capital by Xu Da. He got off the bus at the boundary of Yangzhou on the grounds that Yangzhou was busy with affairs.

Although he had not been with Yang Xian for a short time, Xu Da knew that what the man in front of him had decided would never change, so he stopped persuading him and returned to the capital with his army to resume his duties.

Some people are rewarded, and some people are punished.

Lan Yu was greedy for merit and rashly advanced, and humiliated Princess Kuokuo without permission, while Muge was behind her. Both of these are serious crimes.

If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid they would have been gone long ago.

After all, Lan Yu has the dual identities of a Huaixi noble and a relative of the emperor.

As the talker of the Huaixi Party, South Korean Gong Li Shanchang went directly to the palace to meet the saint and intercede for Lan Yu.Although Lan Yu had it before, it was a fact that he broke King Kuo Kuo's tent and captured many prisoners of the Yuan Dynasty, including many of the royal relatives of the Yuan court, which was considered a credit.

In addition, because of Yang Xian and Xu Da, the vanguard force was finally saved.

This gave Li Shanchang room to plead.

"The face of my son, just because Lan Yu is a relative of the country, there should be clear rewards and punishments. I really have to listen to the Korean father and let Lan Yu be lenient. That is the real slap in the face of the prince in front of the people of the world. .”
