Chapter 2276: Four Dukes, Thirty-Six Marquises and One Hundred and Eighth Uncles
Below, Li Jing, Su Lie, Yue Fei, and Xue Li all showed joy after being canonized.
Li Jing did not do all his work this time and only captured half of Yongzhou. He thought that his position as governor of Yongzhou would be lost, but his lord still trusted him.
Although the Qin army occupied a small area in Yongzhou, it had a lot of troops, and Yongzhou was also the main direction of the Qin army's subsequent expansion, so the governor of Yongzhou was also the governor of Kansai to a certain extent.
As for Su Lie and Xue Li, they finally got their wish and became the commander-in-chief of a party, with the qualifications to single-handedly lead the army as commander.
Only Yue Fei was happy at first after receiving the canonization, and then showed a look of astonishment.
As the governor of Jingzhou, he was actually named the governor of Youzhou this time.
Does the Lord want to transfer him to the north to fight Yuanman?
Frankly speaking, Yue Fei doesn't want to go to the north just yet, because he has guarded Jingzhou for many years, and although he has won many battles, he has barely gained an inch of territory.
In this battle in northern Jingzhou, he finally defeated the Shu-Chu coalition forces and was about to flex his muscles in Jingzhou to unify Jingzhou, but his majesty decided to transfer him to Youzhou. How could Yue Fei be willing to do so.
Although Yue Fei also wanted to go to Jingzhou for the foreign tribe, the prerequisite was to deal with Jingzhou well and leave an intact Jingzhou to the court.
But now Jingzhou is divided into four and five miles, and even the Jingzhou army is severely weakened. This makes Yue Fei feel that his contribution is not worthy of the canonization granted to him by His Majesty.
Therefore, even if he was promoted to a higher rank this time, Yue Fei did not feel very happy.
Xue Rengui saw Yue Fei's thoughts and comforted him with a smile: "Brother Yue, Jingzhou and Jiangling have almost become your obsession. For us soldiers, as long as we serve His Majesty, commanding the army is not the same as commanding the army."
Army?
Don't worry, if the Jingzhou Army is handed over to me, its pearl will not be covered in dust."
Yue Fei looked up at Xue Rengui
After the four expedition generals and the four state governors were consecrated, the four town generals were next.
"...Confess Zhang Liao as Marquis of Gangzheng, General of Zhendong, and Commander-in-Chief of Bingzhou..."
"...Confess Huo Bing the title of Marquis of Yiyong, General of Zhenbei, and Commander-in-Chief of Hetao..."
"...Female Mengtian as Marquis of Liangyang, General of Zhenxi, and Commander-in-Chief of Liangzhou..."
"...make Qin Qiong the Marquis of Xinyi, the General of Zhennan, and the Commander-in-Chief of Sizhou..."
Zhang Liao and other four people who were named generals of the Four Towns, their overall achievements were inferior to those of the previous Four Expeditions, especially Qin Qiong, who almost suffered a major defeat when he served as the governor of Jingzhou.
It's just that among the nine conferred governors, there can't be no relatives of the emperor, right?
Although Qin Qiong is inferior in terms of merit, but with the blessing of being a relative of the emperor, and having served as the deputy governor in Jingzhou for so long, he has deep qualifications, and he is not qualified to be listed with Bai Qi and others as one of the nine major governors.
As for Liangzhou, the Qin army now only has one county, which was obtained only after Yan Xing surrendered.
Meng Tian won a great victory in Hetao, but now he has to be transferred from the position of governor of Hetao to serve as governor of Liangzhou, which has only one county.
On the surface, this seems to be an ups and downs, but in fact, there are a lot of opportunities for meritorious service in Liangzhou, and Liangzhou is not comparable to just three counties in Hetao.
Since then, all nine commander-in-chiefs of the Qin Army have been canonized.
"...make Li Cunxiao a Marquis of Wu, a general who governs the country, and also a lieutenant in charge of Sili..."
"...Confess Sun Lingming the title of Qi Tianhou, former general..."
"...Confess Jiang Song as Han Xuanhou, General Zuo..."
"...Female Yuwen Chengdu as Marquis of Yiyi, General on the Right..."
"...Feng Jia was restored to the title of Champion Marquis and later General..."
"...Confess Lu Bu as Marquis Wen..."
"...make Zhao Yun a loyal lord..."
"...confess Gongsun Xuanyuan as Marquis of Yan..."
In addition to the above people, Wei Qing, Han Xin, Long Qie, Gao Chong, Qin Wu, Xu Huang, and Zhou Yu were either Yizihou or Junhou. In short, they were all granted the title of Marquis.
A total of twenty-four military generals were granted the title of marquis, while among the civil servants there were much fewer, with only twelve in total, namely: Wang Meng, Fang Xuanling, Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia,
Liu Ye, Zhang Liang, Han Fei, Zhang Yi, Wen Tianxiang.
In the end, a total of thirty-six people were granted the title of marquis, including twenty-four military generals and twelve civil servants.
Of course, canonization has not yet been touched. In addition to dukes and marquises, Ying Hao also conferred the title of Earl of Hou Tinghou in many counties, a total of 108 people.
The generals are: Gao Shun, Yang Zaixing, Pei Yuanqing, Xiongkuohai, Jintai, Wenpin, Qin Yong, Huang Feihu, Huang Zhong, Qin Yu, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Gongsun Yan, Hu Luguang, Yu Jin, Li Yan, Huo Jun
, Zhang Han, Guan Sheng...
Civil servants: Xun Yan, Xiang Lang, Mi Zhu, Dong He, Zhong Yao, Zhang Ji, Du Ji, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Fan Zhongyan, Qu Yuan, Zhang Jiuling, Wang Anshi, Wang Xizhi, Lin Xiangru, Qin Guan, Bai Juyi, Di Renjie...
The above four princes, thirty-six princes, and one hundred and eight uncles basically include all the meritorious officials of the Qin State.
As for generals such as Xue Dingshan, Yue Yun, and Kong Xuan, their official positions were only promoted, but they were not canonized with titles.
Zhang He, Gao Lan, Fu Cunshen, Zhang Xiu, etc., all surrendered generals who had just surrendered, also did not receive titles of nobility.
In addition to canonizing the living generals, those generals who had died in battle were also posthumously canonized by Ying Hao.
"... Yang Ye was posthumously named Tianbo King and Taiwei. His title was transferred to his second son Yang Yong, who inherited the title of Tianbo County Duke..."
"... Ran Min was posthumously granted the title of Duke Wu, General of Hussars, and his title was inherited by his son."
"...Luo Yi was posthumously named Duke of Wuyuan, and his title was inherited by his son Luo Cheng, who was demoted to the title..."
"...chaussing Mu Feng as the Duke of Yongcheng..."
"...chaussing Shan Xiongxin as..."
…
All the generals who had previously attacked Qin Yougong but died in battle were awarded titles by Ying Hao. Ying Hao was also more generous and basically exaggerated his achievements to grant titles.
For example, Yang Ye and Mu Feng, in terms of single merit, could not reach the level of being crowned king or duke. However, considering that they were both Ying Hao's father-in-law, Ying Hao posthumously granted them the title of duke.
, after all, the dead are the most important.
For those generals who were posthumously crowned after the battle and had heirs, Ying Hao lowered their titles and let their heirs inherit their father's legacy. After all, even the Qin family didn't have anyone who was canonized as king, so it was impossible to really let the Yang family give birth.
A prince, right?
Regarding the king's title, Ying Hao's attitude was the same as that of Liu Ji. He was not the Ying family but the king, and the whole world was fighting against him. Therefore, the highest title in the Qin State was the Duke of the State.
So far, Ying Hao has bestowed the highest title on Duke, just to leave some room so that if Bai Qi and others make great achievements in the future, they will not be left without titles.
Just when everyone thought that the canonization was about to end, another posthumous canonization was issued.
"...chased the title of Qin Rang, the fifth brother of the Supreme Emperor, as the Revival King..."
Zhang Rang, who was standing next to Ying Wen, was stunned when he saw this scene. He had no idea that he was among those pursuing the title.
He knew that Ying Hao didn't like him, and was even disgusted with him. After all, no one with a sense of justice would be fond of him for the things he did, but now he still proclaimed himself the king.
King of Fuxing, Fuxing? Your Majesty is recognizing your contribution to the Ying clan and Great Qin!
Zhang Rang's strong mental state, which he had cultivated for many years, almost broke down at this moment, and he suppressed the emotion in his heart so as not to cry.
At this moment, Zhang Rang, not Qin Rang, had only one thought in his mind, that is, he must practice hard and strive to break through the Grand Master as soon as possible, so as to continue to protect the Great Qin Empire in secret.
