Chapter 277 Trouble after the war (Twenty-six) Lord Marquis, please stay
Gao Pingshi's title of Marquis of Nanning is the real highlight of the day, but it is not the only major event. In addition to the emperor's triumphant victory in this battle to comfort his second ancestors and gain a huge wave of political capital, there are also
Several things that are also rewarded are also very important.
Another happy event after Gao Pragmatic's knighthood was actually a knighthood: Qi Jiguang granted Ning Haibo the title!
Gao Jingshi was granted the title of Marquis, so it corresponded to the land of the same government. The emperor chose "Nanning" because Nanning belonged to Guangxi, and Guangxi was where Gao Jingshi's official career really flourished; and Ninghai was a county, which happened to correspond to Qi Jiguang's count.
Therefore, this place was chosen because Ninghai County belongs to Taizhou Prefecture, and Qi Jiguang's famous battle in his early years was the Taizhou Victory.
Therefore, there are similarities and differences between the titles of Gao Pragmatic and Qi Jiguang. The similarity is that both titles contain the word "Ning", and the nominal title they chose is the place where their official careers began.
This is to emphasize that their contribution brought the "Ning" effect to the Ming Dynasty.
There are at least two differences. First, the ranks are different, one is Marquis and the other is Uncle; second, the highly pragmatic Marquis of Nanning has the suffix "hereditary", and this kind of title is called Spyge; Qi Jiguang's Ning Haibo does not.
The suffix means that this title cannot be hereditary, and is generally called a flowing title. Under the title system of the Ming Dynasty, both of their titles belong to the title of meritorious official (the other belongs to the title of a relative), and the difference is between "世" and "世"
Immortal".
Hereditary or not, the gap seems to be very large, but in actual practice it may not be as big a gap as most people imagine.
For example, when Li Chengliang was in the seventh year of Wanli, he was awarded the title of Ning Yuanbo for his military exploits in the sixth year of Wanli. It was not hereditary at first. But at that time, Li Chengliang was still very good at fighting and continued to have many military exploits, so it didn't take long for him to
He was rewarded again for his merits, and he was given the hereditary title after Ning Yuanbo.
In other words, if Qi Jiguang makes new achievements in the future, it is very likely that he will continue to receive rewards, and finally get an iron ticket - Liujue has a title but no coupons, and Spyker has a title but has coupons.
The two knighthoods are awarded separately. There are other rewards after the knighthood. This time, there is no need to list them separately. Instead, it is settled by one imperial edict:
Recording the great victory of the Yuan Dynasty, he added the Crown Prince Taishi Hubu Shangshu Nanning Hou Gao Shifu Shaofu, and was rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. Yin Yizi was hereditary commander of the Nanning Guards; Governor Ji Liaodu Censor Jianda, and Governor Liaodong Capital Censor Gu Yangqian
Each received a reward of one hundred taels of silver. Dayin's son Jin Yiwei was hereditary to hundreds of families. Yangqian's male Yuan Yin was promoted to one hereditary military rank, and each was still given an imperial reward. Governor Xuan Da's Minister of War Xiao Daheng, and Governor Xuan's imperial censor Wang Shiyang each received rewards.
One hundred taels of silver, one son of Yin, a royal guard, is hereditary for hundreds of households;
Ning Yuanbo, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, responded to Li Rusong's attack and rewarded Li Rusong with a red silk python robe and two hundred taels of silver. Yin Yizi, the commander of the army, made the hereditary commander; Magui, the commander-in-chief of Datong, Cao Yu, the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, and Ma Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu.
Each of the benefactors will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and Yin's son will be the commander of the guard and will be hereditary;
Liaodong Deputy General Xiao Ruxun and other deputy generals were each rewarded with eighty taels of silver. Yin Yizi's own guard commanded the generals; they were upgraded to war participating generals, guerrillas, etc., and the rewards were different;
Each of them was divided into deputy envoys to guard, patrols to prepare for the affairs, grain managers, etc., and they were each rewarded with twenty taels of silver. Those who served as frontier officers and soldiers in bloody battles were rewarded with the same reward. The original XX (who had done meritorious service), etc. were all reinstated, and the horse price and silver were still given.
Two hundred taels, send a member of the Department of War to go and reward the officers together with the governor;
If my soldier Zhou Yong has meritorious service, he will be rewarded fifty taels of silver, and Yin Yizi will be sent to prison to study; Han Ji, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Song Yingchang will each be promoted to one level of salary and be rewarded with thirty taels of silver; our doctor will be promoted to one level of salary and be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
two;
For meritorious service in the transfer by the Fifth Army Governor's Office (because the Production and Construction Corps is responsible for transportation within the customs), the leader of the squad, the left governor Ding Guogong Xu Wenbi, was rewarded with 400 taels of silver; each governor was rewarded with 300 taels of silver, and the governor Qianshi was rewarded with 200 taels of silver, and the rest were rewarded
There are differences in silver.
Generally speaking, this is a reward decree that everyone is happy with. Although there are few direct promotions, there are many favors and silver rewards. Especially the silver rewards can be said to be much more generous than in the past - after all, Qi Jiguang's various rewards back then
A great victory is only rewarded with ten taels, twenty taels, or thirty taels of silver.
Another difference from the past is that the reward for the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is added at the end. Regardless of whether the reward for the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is given in theory, it seems reasonable, but in fact it is not at all - before
All kinds of great victories actually have nothing to do with the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army!
This time, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion was actually able to get a reward. Although it was just a little money, which was nothing trivial to these people, the significance was extraordinary. Because of this, after the edict was announced here,
, the military ministers and nobles looked at Gao Jingshi with more affectionate expressions - it was a pity that Gao Jingshi was kneeling at the head because he was receiving the reward again, so he could not see this.
Many of the people who should receive the rewards are not present, but it doesn't matter. The announcement of this edict is essentially a symbolic political move, and the specific rewards will be followed by a subsequent imperial edict that each person can receive individually.
After completing the above process, we came to the last major event of the day: the Emperor of Ming Dynasty accepted the pilgrimage of King Shunyi and other ministers.
Today, Han Naji was wearing a royal robe, accompanied by Yilduzi, the representative of the Ordos tribe, and a group of leaders under his own Tumote. Under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, he went to see the emperor in the pure Ming and Han rites, and bowed five times.
Three knocks.
It is worth mentioning here that three kneels and nine kowtows were only used to worship heaven in the Ming Dynasty. Later, it became widespread due to the Tatars' mischief. Therefore, at this time, it was impossible for Han Naji to kneel down and nine kowtows three times to Zhu Yijun. It could only be five worships and three
knock.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a practice of five bows and three kowtows. It is clearly stated in "Huidian": "Kowtowing to the head and bowing to the head for five times is the etiquette for ministers to meet their superiors. The first is to bow the hands, bow the head four times, and then kowtow to complete the ceremony." That is to say, first bow and kowtow.
Arch your hands, bow your head, and bow down. The first four prayers are bowing, and the last prayer is kowtow.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yijun solemnly accepted the second expression of surrender from the Mongolian tribes, and then ordered Chen Ju to announce the reward. The leaders of the Tumut tribes, headed by King Shunyi and Mrs. Zhongshun, received generous rewards. Yilduzi and other Ordos
Due to Bosho Ketu's previous rebellious actions, the reward was not as good as that of Tumut, but it also received some property, as well as an increase in the border trade quota this year.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, the most eye-catching thing in this award is the award of the Erde Mutu. Zhu Yijun, as the Ming Emperor
He was clearly canonized as the Crown Prince of Shunyi, and he was also appointed to a very Ming-like position: Chief Military Officer Helin. At the same time, he was ordered to "choose an opportunity to establish a guard station in Transkalkha and report to the Ministry of War for a memorial."
The former is just "making up for the formalities", because the Ming Dynasty has called him Prince Shunyi for some time, but it has not been officially canonized. This time, all the procedures have been completed. From now on, he will be completely legalized as the heir of Han Naji.
.
The latter set a precedent: when I agreed to pay tribute, I had already agreed that the internal affairs of Tumut, also known as the "Ming Dynasty Jin Kingdom", would be decided by King Shunyi, and the Ming court would not interfere. However,
This time, Ming Dynasty obviously broke this rule and directly intervened in its internal power distribution.
However, there is actually a legal issue in this matter, that is, whether the territory of the Outer Khalkha tribe belongs to the "Ming Dynasty Jin Kingdom". If it belongs to the Ming Dynasty Jin Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty court directly interferes with its administrative power, military power and other powers. Of course,
It is inconsistent with reason, but what if it does not belong to the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom?
The battle to destroy the Yuan Dynasty was initiated by the Ming Dynasty, and the battle to capture and defend the Outer Khalkha was fought jointly by Magui and Bhannaji, of which Magui was the actual commander. In this case, if we ignore the Outer Khalkha
Considering the objective historical fact that the territory was originally controlled by the Mongols, this area is obviously a pure spoil of war from the Ming Dynasty.
How to distribute the spoils is of course decided by the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty's decision is equivalent to saying that I do not directly control it, I will hand it over to you Mongolians, but I want to keep the name of this place belonging to the Ming Dynasty.
This approach was actually far beyond Bhannaji's expectations, but Bhannaji was not too entangled in the name issue. Instead, he felt that doing so was quite beneficial to his own plan.
The first is that I can reasonably and legally take over the territory of the Outer Khalkha tribe through the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor, and then have the legitimacy of rule; secondly, I don’t have to worry about internal distribution disputes - if you are dissatisfied, you can go to the emperor to complain, I, the king
He is just following orders; thirdly, no matter what the name is, the eldest son Erdemutu will have his own tribe from now on, instead of relying only on his father to support him from the Western Post headquarters. This will be very important for his future rule of Mongolia.
There must be benefits.
Of course, although Bhannaji does not attach much importance to names, it does not mean that he despises the role of names. After all, the reason why the Mongolian Golden Family has always been able to control most of the power relies on the role of names.
Therefore, Han Naji also realized that the Ming Dynasty was digging holes in the new system of the Outer Khalkha Territory. The official position of the Chief Soldier has always been a product of the Ming Dynasty system, and the Ming Chief Soldier did not have the qualifications
In terms of local administrative power, he is nominally equal to the governor and the guarding eunuch. In fact, it is the governor who has the final say, not to mention the governor sometimes.
Now the Ming Dynasty has set up General Helin in the territory of the Outer Khalkha tribe. Who knows when they will add governors and send more eunuchs to guard the territory? At that time, who will have the final say in the Outer Khalkha tribe and Hanna?
Ji, the King of Shunyi, cannot guarantee that.
However, at this time, the military power of the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful, and Tumote's economy had already been completely tied to the Ming Dynasty. It was obviously impossible for Han Naji to say no to the Ming Emperor because of the unpredictable future. He could only hope.
Yu Daming felt that it was a thankless task for him to directly take charge of the Outer Khalkha Department, so he kept the current setup for a long time. Only in this way can the Outer Khalkha Department be regarded as his real gain from this battle.
In any case, Bahannaji accepted the emperor's edict seriously and led Yilduzi and others to retreat. Next, the Chief of Ceremonies announced the rewards for the troops who participated in the suburban welcome and the ceremony of worshiping the Ancestral Temple today.
.
To put it simply, this reward means giving out money, and actually the amount given out is not much. It is basically one tael, two taels, three taels, five taels, eight taels, and ten taels. Most of them are one tael.
However, because it was stated before the reward was given that today's reward does not conflict with the regular reward from the Ministry of War later, all the participating armies were quite satisfied and cheered "Long live our emperor".
It seems that money is indeed a good thing.
Afterwards, he offered a banquet, but the army would certainly not be able to attend and had to settle down first. Only civil and military officials at all levels could attend the banquet.
There is a strict system for holding grand banquets in the palace. For example, today, the Shangbao Si sets up the throne in the Fengwang Hall, the Jinyi Guards set up the yellow command on the east and west sides of the hall, and Jin Wu and other guards set up twenty-four guards.
The east and west parts of the temple are separated.
In the temple, there is a nine-piece music studio, one of which is Dayue. Outside the hall, three dance groups are lined up under the palace. Guanglu Temple has a wine pavilion on the west side under the throne, and a dining pavilion on the east side under the throne.
The Gourmet Gourmet Pavilion is placed on the east and west sides of the Wine and Dining Pavilion.
Set the royal banquet on the east and west side of the throne, set the crown prince's seat to the east of the throne (even if it is empty), facing the west, and arrange the king's seats to the south in order, facing east and west (even if it is empty, but it does not have to be set up)
The civil and military ministers of the fourth rank and above are seated in the hall, and those of the fifth rank and below are seated under the east and west corridors, with teapots, wine ministers, food ministers, etc. waiting nearby.
After the banquet table was set and everything was ready, the officials of the Department of Ceremonies asked to take their seats. In an instant, drums and music began to play.
In the sound of melodious music, the emperor ascended to the throne, and the music stopped. The whip was blown, and the crown prince (none yet), prince, and prince (none in the capital) came to the hall and took their seats. Then the civil and military officers of fourth rank and above filed in from the east and west gates.
After entering, standing in the hall, all the officials of the fifth rank and below stood on the altar, followed by the praising officers, praising the etiquette, and the civil and military officials praising and worshiping the emperor.
Guanglu Temple entered the imperial banquet, and music began to play. After the royal banquet was served, the music stopped. The internal officials presented flowers to the emperor. Guanglu Temple opened the ceremony and poured wine, and presented the first wine in front of the throne.
At this time, the Jiaofang played "The Song of Yan Jing" (all kinds of "harmony" music will not be played at the banquet). Along with the music, the officials inside and outside knelt down, and the Jiaofang Secretary knelt down to play the wine. After drinking, the music stopped. All officials
They prostrate themselves on the ground and salute, drink wine, and thank the Holy Spirit for his grace. Then they all take their places and scatter flowers to the officials in sequence.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When entering the second wine, the Jiaofang Secretary played "The Song of Imperial Style". With the music, the officials of Guanglu Temple drank wine in front of the emperor. Preface
The class poured wine for the ministers. The emperor held up the cup, and the officials also held up the cup and drank, enjoying themselves.
Then came the soup ceremony. The drums were played as a prelude to the festival. When outside the palace, the drums were stopped. Music began to be played in the palace. All the ministers stood up. The official of Guanglu Temple entered the soup for the emperor. The ministers sat down and the prelude was given to the ministers to enter the soup.
, the emperor raised chopsticks, and the ministers also raised chopsticks, praised the meal, and stopped playing music. At this time, the martial arts performance began, and the "Dance to Peace the World" was played.
When entering the third banquet, "The Song of the Ming Dynasty" was played. The music was melodious, and the drinking ceremony was like the first time. After the music stopped, "The Dance of Fuping the Four Barbarians" was played.
During the fourth wine session, "The Song of the Legend of Tiandao" was played. After drinking, "The Dance of Cars and Books" was played.
While serving the fifth wine, "Zhenhuanggang Zhizhi" was played, and "Hundred Operas Accompanying Dance" was played.
Enter the Sixth Lord, drink and play "The Song of Jinling", and then offer wine, and perform the same ritual as the first time, and play "Eight Barbarians Presenting Treasure Dance".
The seventh prince drank and played "Changyang Song" and "Lotus Picking Team Dance".
When the Eighth Lord's wine was brought in, "The Song of Fragrance and Sweetness" was played, the wine and soup were served, and "Fish Leap in the Deep Dance" was played.
While serving wine to the Ninth Lord, "The Song of Riding the Six Dragons" was played.
After the emperor and the ministers had finished drinking, the officials of Guanglu Temple took back the royal title, and the prefects took back the ministers' wine cups. Then they began to serve the emperor soup and a big meal. At this time, the drums and music were blaring, and the ministers stood up. After the soup meal
Afterwards, the ministers sit down again. After that, the preface class will offer meals to the ministers. After the meal is finished, a ceremony of praising the meal will be held and the music will stop. When the meal is removed, the Hundred Flowers Dance will be played.
The officials of Guanglu Temple withdrew the banquet, and then the preface team removed the banquet of the ministers. When the banquet of praise was completed, all the ministers attended and stood facing the north. When the emperor was praised, the ministers stood east and west, facing the emperor.
After performing three bows and nine kowtows, and the officials of the Ceremony Department finished playing the ceremony, the emperor drove back to the palace, the Jiaofang Department stopped playing music, and the ministers left the table one by one.
This whole process is not so much about eating as it is about eating in a show. Except for the emperor himself who may dare to eat seriously, the other ministers basically watch the emperor's movements carefully and then take their own corresponding actions.
, for fear of causing a "disrespect before the emperor" and being caught in pigtails by the patrolling censor, it would be impossible to have a good meal.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic, who was already hungry after the show, and a few young eunuchs who helped him carry iron coupons to avoid death, edicts, new official uniforms (services given by the young master), etc., just wanted to leave the palace and return home quickly.
He was having dinner at the mansion. Who would have thought that after only a few steps, Xiaohuangmen, the eunuch of ceremonies, hurriedly came to stop him: "Master Marquis, please stay, the emperor has summoned you!"
