Chapter 1685 The eve of the conferment

"Won't."

Hao Cang said: "The scale of the firearms battalion will only be expanded, but it will not completely abolish the infantry. Every unit is irreplaceable..."

"This is a strategy of elite troops, not disarmament. After the selection of troops, the sources of troops will be replenished."

"Replenish?"

Some generals asked in confusion: "You haven't heard about the recruitment of soldiers by the Ministry of War?"

"The Southern Dynasties rebelled and recruited 100,000 troops. Isn't this a ready source of troops?"

Hao Cang's words made everyone suddenly realize.

"Report!"

At this time, some soldiers came running on horseback.

"Generals, we have found no signs of enemy troops moving out."

"It seems we are overthinking it."

"Yes, I wanted to take this opportunity to give His Majesty a big gift..."

All the generals were still sighing.

A few days ago, they had deliberately released information about His Majesty's coming, and also deliberately released a three-day celebration to relax the entire army, just to attract Liang Jun to risk a sneak attack.

I had no such plan at first, but after I learned that Liang Jun’s right deputy general Meng Shao was a radical leader...

Liang Jun was doing everything he could to get information about Daning's army, but he didn't know that they also knew their situation very well.

"It was just a delusion."

Hao Cang said: "It's too late for them to be afraid now, so how dare they take the initiative to provoke them?"

"In my opinion, they should be driven out of Liaoqing Province. It would be troublesome to occupy them separately."

"It depends on His Majesty's attitude."

Hao Cang smiled and said: "This is not difficult, and your Majesty may have other plans..."

"I heard that His Majesty also wants to find aunts for the soldiers. Is it true or false?"

"What does it have to do with you? Don't you have a wife at home?"

"Can't I be worried for the soldiers?"

Everyone finished the tour while chatting.

The three days of the Great Celebration are no mere talk. By the time the soldiers sobered up, it was almost evening and they began to prepare for the awards they would receive tomorrow.

As of tonight, those who have been awarded the title have been notified in advance.

It has been a year and a half since the end of the war. It is precisely because there are too many people involved in the reward that it has been delayed until now.

The granting plan was changed again and again until it was finally finalized.

The main granting of titles was based on titles and lands, and it was still based on the method of granting titles to navy generals, first sealing the land and then dividing the land.

This is no longer a secret, it has been spread throughout the army, making everyone full of expectations.

The war has been going on for five years, and even if no great achievements have been made, the accumulated achievements over the years will still be considerable.

This made Hao Cang and other generals secretly wonder. They already knew that navy generals were awarded titles. If they followed that standard, they didn't know how many titles and fiefs would be awarded.

It really doesn't cost any money to get the seal out.

"If this continues, is your Majesty really not afraid of hidden dangers?"

Wei Yang, the general of Zhenbei Army, said what everyone wanted to say.

Qi Tai, the left minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Xian, the minister of military aircraft, and Cui Jinglun, the minister of military aircraft, were also present here. They took out the list of conferred titles and were discussing the details of the conferred titles tomorrow.

The discussion was chaired by Zhao Nanxing, the deputy minister of the cabinet. In other words, they had already learned about the candidates for the title. Of course, the main generals have not yet been released...

If I have to describe it, I can only use two words to describe it: horror!

Too many!

The earl, who is usually hard to see, has more than ten pages of names waiting to be sealed on the roster.

The most important thing is that these counts have fiefs!

Your Majesty has indeed taken good care of me. If I return the merits of those who died in the war, if they have any heirs, they will take care of them.

Really crazy!

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but chuckle to himself, and then said seriously: "The war has been going on for five years, and there are countless people who have made meritorious deeds. If we don't reward them, wouldn't it make the soldiers feel cold?"

"That being said, this is..."

Cao Bin, the general of the first expeditionary army, was also a little frightened.

"I'll go ask for advice later."

He said: "If the seal is sealed like this, Daning will have many nobles, and this will be very harmful to the country!"

Cao Bin knew that saying such words would offend people, but he had to say it.

He came from the Zhenbei Army, so it was natural for him to consider His Majesty.

"I think it's okay!"

Another general agreed.

"If the seal is kept like this, the number of nobles will be overwhelming, and it will become a big problem in a few years!"

At this time, these generals actually thought about the country instead of themselves.

Of course they knew that even ordinary soldiers could be sealed here again, let alone generals like them.

But the favor was too heavy, so they had to think more carefully. Anyone with a discerning eye knew what the consequences of such a wanton enfeoffment would be?

"Peace, everyone."

Zhao Nanxing stood up hurriedly.

These people really want to ask for advice now.

He saw in his eyes that these generals were really loyal to the emperor and the country. Most of the generals here were people who had fought with His Majesty, so they were naturally different.

Of course, some of them are dishonest, which is gratifying.

"The title will be awarded tomorrow, how can I change it?"

Zhao Nanxing said: "Your Majesty said that this resistance was fought by the soldiers, and it is appropriate to award them to the soldiers. If you can really sympathize with your Majesty, you will remember your kindness and make new achievements!"

"Your Majesty and your Majesty's consideration, as ministers, we should not make any assumptions. Those who have made meritorious deeds should be rewarded. This is your Majesty's original intention."

After Zhao Nanxing's persuasion, they finally calmed down and began to discuss the matter of granting the title...

I just feel very sad in my heart that His Majesty actually changed his principles in order to award a reward. You must know that His Majesty once hated nobles the most.

It lasted for nearly three hours before it was confirmed.

The next day, the awarding of the title was held as scheduled.
Chapter completed!
