Two hundred and twentieth chapters military merit can be sealed
There was silence in the palace of the prefect.
Luo Chuan did not rush to express his position but picked up a cup of tea and drank it. He was weighing the conventions and bottom lines of Lijun's powerful class, which was somewhat difficult to understand and disapproving of.
This is the case in Li County, or the entire Dading Dynasty. Nobles are nobility, and there is an unbridgeable gap between them and the common people. A noble father will make his son noble, and a poor father will make his son poor. This is almost unchangeable.
But as time goes by, there are always some people who have reached the point where they have to be ennobled by chance or outstanding merits, and they will also become nobility.
Generations of hard work have brought us here today? Who can easily accept the fact that others can be on par with others once they gain power? It is too difficult for people like this.
After a while of silence, Luo Chuan spoke again, "What do you think, Mr. Zuo?"
With such a little name, Zuo Heng couldn't continue to pretend to be dead, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "What the prefect said is certainly reasonable, but since ancient times, no nobles in Li County have been enfeoffed directly from commoners to barons. The prefect cherishes me."
I understand what General Chen wants, but... if you reward him too generously, you are actually harming him. Please think again, Lord Governor."
Luo Chuan was still reclining on the couch. He tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment, "What Mr. Zuo said makes sense. We can't give Jingzhi a reward but make him an enemy of his colleagues. In this way, we should follow military affairs."
If you want to make me a baron, there will always be other opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future."
Zuo Heng seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, and repeatedly called the prefect to be wise, and then turned the page and continued, "Then there are the assistant general He Ruoxiong who is currently stationed in Chunyang City, the assistant general Feng Jinkui who is stationed in Nancheng, Ganshuiguan and Liangcang City.
The newly promoted general Li Mu on the front line, the general Shen Cheng stationed in Zhengcang City, and the assistant general Chen Shaoxiong stationed in Tongcang City were all granted five li of land and given wealth and silk. Their achievements were spread throughout the army and served as pillars and examples."
"Accurate," Luo Chuan said.
Zuo Hengxin turned another page and said, "Although General Luo only participated in the second half of the Northern Expedition, he did a great job in defending the territory, so he was awarded the title together with the captains of the main army and the five military commanders of Lijun Qingqi.
Tu Yili, the rewards for officers at all levels and meritorious soldiers in other armies are all the same."
"Accurately," Luo Chuan asked again, "General Luo's one-mile fiefdom is also in Ganyuan?"
Zuo Heng nodded and said, "General Luo is originally from the Luo family. According to the usual practice, he will choose a suitable land near the Luo family's original fiefdom as his fiefdom."
"Uncle Jiang, otherwise you should keep the reward of this land for now," Luo Chuan looked at Luo Jiang and said, "Whenever you get old and retire from the army, I will give it to you at the place closest to me.
Find a piece of land and build a house like the one we talked about in Zhongjing City. Siqi and I will always go to your place to live."
All the important ministers suddenly had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Luo Jiang just nodded indifferently, "Follow what the prefect wants."
"Then it's settled, Mr. Zuo, will this embarrass you?" Luo Chuan asked.
Zuo Heng smiled and shook his head, "The fiefdom issue is negotiable. As long as the prefect and General Luo have no objections, everything will be easy to handle. However, it is difficult to find suitable land that is too close to the city, because there have always been few generals in Li County.
The aristocratic fiefdoms are placed around Li County, and most of them are already where people live and live, so we will have to go to Mr. Chen's Sinong Mansion first."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Our General Luo is still young after all. When it comes time for him to take off his armor and return to his fields... God knows where I will live." The meaning contained in Luo Chuan's words made everyone present see it.
Many important ministers in big scenes were refreshed after hearing this.
But Zuo Heng frowned slightly and then turned the page and continued, "The last thing I want to report to the Grand Administrator for decision is the rewards given to the three generals of General Zhao Wuji's family. General Zhao Wuji not only led the Northern Expedition personally but also coordinated it.
The operation took the lead, followed by General Zhao Gui of Shangyuan, who was ordered to lead the army northward to defeat the two large cities of Tongcang and Zhengcang, establishing the strategic victory of Sancang. The last Cangyan Pi general Zhao Qingxia
Chen Jingzhi mobilized most of his elite troops to go north and then stick to the western front and re-deploy the defenses to defend the rear for the Northern Expedition. This is also a great achievement. I really don’t know what reward the Zhao family deserves for such a great contribution. Please make the decision personally, the Grand Administrator."
Luo Chuan looked at Zhao Wuji but found that he was hesitant to speak, so he asked, "What does Uncle Zhao think?"
Zhao Wuji stood up and saluted solemnly and said, "I don't quite agree with what your Lord Commander has said before. This Northern Expedition can be said to be the first to strategize and kill the enemy personally. I am the one who has no doubt that it is my turn to be the Governor. No matter the strategic deployment, I will lead the troops to break the formation."
, whether to defeat the monsters or appease the rear, every strategy is from the hands of the governor. I just followed the order and did what I was supposed to do, but it was really useless. The same is true for Zhao Qingxia, as General Cangyan Pi guarding the Western Front
This was his duty, so where did he get any military merit? As for Zhao Gui, he just took advantage of the governor's strategy to predict the enemy's opportunities. Although he had undoubtedly achieved military merit, it was not considered to have established a strategic victory at all. Excessive rewards were just
It will pamper him and stop him from moving forward, which is also a bad thing."
"Uncle Zhao doesn't have to be like this. Since the Military Affairs Office can't give me any reward no matter what I do, then as the de facto coordinator of the Eastern and Western Fronts of this Northern Expedition, it's appropriate for you to be the first to make the first contribution," Luo Chuan
He smiled and said, "As for Zhao Gui, from his troops leaving Shangyuan to marching down two cities, to conquering Liangcang and advancing to Ganshui, and then marching south to Tongcang to conquer Shoutong, he is young but has made great contributions, so he must be rewarded, otherwise
The soldiers are still heartbroken." He pondered for a moment and then said to Zuo Heng, "Sir Zuo, I have an idea that I can bring to the Military Affairs Office for discussion."
Zuo Heng saluted and said, "Master Taishou, please tell me. The Military Affairs Office will definitely act in accordance with the order."
Luo Chuan nodded, "Uncle Zhao is not young now. He has been injured both inside and outside for many years of guarding the border. Now that young people can be of use, let him come back to Licheng. Mr. Zuo will give him a hand at the Military Affairs Office."
It doesn't matter if you find a job to do, or you can be made a marquis for your merits. As for Zhao Gui, although he, like Feng Jinkui and He Ruoxiong, has just been promoted to the rank of general, but this time he led the army alone and made outstanding achievements, he was promoted to general as an exception.
Guarding Shangyuan is justified, Zhao Qingxia guarding Tuben also has merit, and General Jin Feng guarding Xigu Pass is just as good."
Zuo Heng saluted again and said, "Your Majesty, the reward is appropriate. The Military Affairs Office will immediately arrange other details and comply with the order." He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Luo Chuandao, "Previously, Zhao Wuji, General Zhao, mentioned that the Governor's contribution to the Northern Expedition was the most important.
, the prefect also said that he was unable to be sealed, but actually... otherwise!"
What he said shocked all the important officials present. Even Luo Chuan was a little surprised and said, "Master Zuo, is he saying that there is a way to reward me, the prefect of Li County?!"
Zuo Heng shook his head and solemnly saluted and knelt in the center of the palace, "Before I heard about the great cauldron, my human country was in chaos, but some rules were very clear. For example, a territory of two thousand miles and tens of millions of subjects...
