Chapter 52： Reward controversy

The distance from Shaoxing to Suzhou is closer than that from Nanjing to Suzhou, but the news of Wu Changqing's victory over Liu Liangzuo arrived in Shaoxing even later.

After all, what Nanjing received was an urgent report delivered by the war horse, and Qiu Zhaojin had to bypass Hangzhou to deliver the news to Shaoxing.

On the 28th, King Lu of Shaoxing received news of Wu Changqing's victory.

This time it was more shocking than last time. Last time Wu Changqing only captured a Suzhou and defeated more than 3,000 enemy troops. But this time it directly defeated the Qing army's 40,000 soldiers, killed more than 8,000 enemies, and captured more than 10,000 people.

This kind of victory stunned the officials in the little court of King Lu. They couldn't imagine how such a big victory was achieved. None of you on the scene dared to say that he could achieve such a big victory against the 40,000 Qing army with 8,000 troops.

Not to mention a big victory, with 8,000 troops against 40,000, as long as you don't lose the city, it is considered a great achievement.

"These talents must be used by me. In the letter from Governor Qiu Du, Wu Changqing's minister is dissatisfied with our previous award. What award do you think should be given?"

Zhu Yihai asked everyone.

"The minister thought that he could be bestowed on the marquis. From a commoner to a marquis, he must be able to feel the majesty of his majesty."

General Fang Guoan said, of course, he was not saying good things for Wu Changqing.

Fang Guoan is currently the Duke of Yue in the Lu regime, and he is the duke. He naturally didn't want Wu Changqing to be on an equal footing with himself. After all, he had been leading soldiers to fight for more than ten years, and Wu Changqing was just a hairy boy.

If Duke Wu Changqing is named, wouldn't he be able to meet him as an equal when he meets the other party in the future?

If it weren't for Wu Changqing's current contribution, he wouldn't want to give it to the Marquis.

"The Marquis may be a little bit low. After all, he defeated the 40,000 Qing army. Now he has tens of thousands of troops, and he can expand his army by tens of thousands at any time. This kind of strength can be assumed by a Duke.

Zhang Guowei spoke. He knew that Zhu Yihai wanted Wu Changqing's allegiance very much. After all, Wu Changqing was on the front line of fighting against the Qing Dynasty.

As long as Wu Changqing's allegiance is obtained, they can concentrate on dealing with Li Chengdong alone. After defeating Li Chengdong, he can connect with Wu Changqing's territory and make his way to Nanjing.

Nanjing is too important to Zhu Yihai, so Zhu Yihai is absolutely willing to give the Duke a reward in order to obtain Wu Changqing's allegiance.

Anyway, the rewards of their little court are not worth much.

Zheng Zhilong in the Longwu court to the south had 100,000 soldiers, and Emperor Longwu only had a marquis.

As for King Lu, there were only two Duke, besides Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren. And the troops in their hands are only more than 20,000 per person.

Moreover, the combat power of more than 20,000 soldiers is very worrying, and it cannot be compared with Wu Changqing's tribe, who has been fighting continuously.

In terms of strength, Wu Changqing may only be an earl in the Longwu court, but he was worthy of a duke in the small court of King Lu.

"Master Zhang, don’t forget his age. Isn’t it enough to be a marquis at his age? If he is now a duke, then he won’t have to be named a king with a different surname after he takes down Nanjing? If he takes back Beijing, That would be no reward."

Fang Guoan sneered and said, what he said was the truth. What if Wu Changqing can make even greater contributions to the duke now? Is it possible to reward the throne?

Originally, awarding was something that required great care, and Emperor Longwu in the south did a good job in this regard.

However, King Lu, due to various reasons, had to make Fang Guoan and others dukes. And now, the consequences of such casual rewards have appeared.

"If General Fang can retake Nanjing, a king with a different surname will also need General Fang."

Zhu Yihai said something neither salty nor indifferent.

He understands what Fang Guoan means, but Zhu Yihai is not stupid. Now he can't even take Nanjing, and he is still thinking about taking Beijing. This is a little too far away.

Even Zhu Yihai was not sure whether he could regain the land in his lifetime. The most important thing for him now is to keep his power, and this requires Wu Changqing's allegiance.

As for in the future, if Wu Changqing can regain Beijing and drive Tartar out of the customs, he can think of other ways to solve the problem of awarding.

Either reward Wu Changqing's father, wife and son, or use power tactics to deprive Wu Changqing of military power.

Anyway, this kind of trickery, there are many records in the history books.

In short, Zhu Yihai now only wants to take care of the present, and only wants to take Nanjing down first. Only after taking Nanjing can he compete with the Tang king for orthodoxy.

Zhu Yihai spoke, and Fang Guoan closed his mouth when he heard the words. Although he was dissatisfied, he had nothing to say. After all, Zhu Yihai has clearly stated that as long as he can win Nanjing, he can also be named a king of different surnames.

But, does he have this ability?

He couldn't solve it with just one Li Chengdong. If it weren't for Wu Changqing's defeat of Liu Liangzuo, the news spread to Hangzhou, causing Li Chengdong's military instability. At this time, Hangzhou might have been taken down by Li Chengdong.

Although Fang Guoan was dissatisfied, he could not object to it. It was all because of Wu Changqing's brilliant record.

Fang Guoan, the general who led the troops, did not object, and naturally not many people opposed it. Bringing Wu Changqing to his side can strengthen their strength, which is also good for them.

"If there is no objection, then draw up the decree. To designate Wu Changqing as Wu Guogong, and lead the governor of Zhili. His wife to be the second grade madam..."

Zhu Yihai made a speech and decided the matter.

In addition to the title of the duke, the official position was also the governor of Zhili.

This official position is extraordinary. The governor has the local military and political power, which is the highest official position that the minister of Xinjiang can obtain. More importantly, Wu Changqing was appointed Governor of Zhili.

Zhili is divided into Nanzhili and Beizhili. Beizhili is the area of ​​Beijing, and Nanzhili is the area of ​​Nanjing. The governor of this kind of place is much more important than the governor of other provinces, and it can be said that he is the most powerful minister of Xinjiang.

This time, Zhu Yihai had lost his blood. Of course, he was not given to the governor of Zhili in vain. After all, Nan Zhili is now under the rule of the Qing army.

Zhu Yihai's meaning couldn't be more obvious. He hoped that Wu Changqing could beat Nanjing down quickly.

In addition to honoring official positions and knighthoods, after learning that Wu Changqing was about to get married, Zhu Yihai also prepared a gift to congratulate him to show his value.

Zhu Yihai only awarded Wu Changqing a reward. As for the generals under Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing needed to draw up a list and submit it himself.

After all, Zhu Yihai didn't know that those generals were more highly regarded by Wu Changqing, and it was not easy to blindly award them.

As long as Wu Changqing's reward is not excessive, the court will generally allow it.
