It was already winter when the good news from the grassland was sent to the south.
The Yangtze River is frozen!
It's not completely frozen, there is an ice floe in the east and an ice floe in the west. Some places seem to be completely frozen, and if people stand on it and walk a few steps, the ice surface will be cracked.
?Governments along the river are organizing official ships and civilian ships to clear the ice floes in the middle of the river and forcibly knock out a passage for boats.
The Little Ice Age did not disappear with Daming, and the real cold winter has just begun. At least during the reign of Chongzhen, the Yangtze River did not freeze. In the next 15 years, there will be four years of freezing of the Yangtze River.
In addition, the Hanshui River has also been frozen this year, so you can race horses on the ice!
Those Khalkha cavalry who fled back to Mobei encountered a snowstorm on the way, and more than 10,000 horses froze to death.
Facing the cold winter, Zhao Han also put on furs and began to review the snow disaster memorials sent from various places. The temperature dropped so fast that the common people didn't have time to react when the cold snap hit overnight, and many people died of freezing or got sick from frostbite.
Even a prince and two princesses caught a cold while living in the Forbidden City.
"Your Majesty, a great victory in Monan!"
The cabinet, the Ministry of War, the Governor's Mansion, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor all came to tell the good news.
After carefully reading the victory documents, Zhao Han finally showed a smile: "Well done, the cabinet, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Etiquette, discuss together how to award and reward meritorious service. Give them the title of Shangzhu Kingdom. Fei Ruhe, plus Taifu (the first rank), and the prince Taibao (from the first rank). Zhang Mingshan, plus the Taibao (the first rank), and the prince Taibao. In addition, both of them are crowned with one British, Reward his wife with an imperial order. As for granting gold, obedience, and land, you can discuss these."
With such great military exploits, Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu were not promoted to titles. It seems mean and ungrateful, but it really doesn't count, because the weight of "Shangzhu Kingdom" is too heavy.
In the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a few "Shangzhu Kingdoms".
Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun belonged to the Shangzhu Kingdom, but they were all taken back after their death and changed to the next-level "Zuozhu Kingdom".
Xia Yan became the Shangzhu Kingdom and was extremely honored for a while, but he was also deprived of his title.
Yan Song was granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, so he quickly declined in fright, saying that Xia Yan was unlucky because of this title. How can a minister be called "superior"?
Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng were entrusted to the Zhu Kingdom, and they also chose to decline, not daring to accept it at all. However, after Zhang Juzheng's death, he was posthumously granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, and then deprived of it, and was restored by another emperor.
Therefore, excluding those whose titles were taken back, in the entire Ming Dynasty, there was one and only Zhang Juzheng "Shangzhu Kingdom".
Although this thing is a false title, it is much rarer than a title!
By the way, Zhang Yunxiu, the fifth son of Zhang Juzheng, was forced to become an official by Zhang Xianzhong, just like in history. Zhang Yunxiu refused and chose to commit suicide. He was almost 80 years old at the time.
Zhang Tongchang, Zhang Juzheng's great-grandson, did not die heroically for resisting the Qing Dynasty. This gentleman is loyal to Ming Dynasty and refused to be an official in the court of Datong. Now he is living in the countryside of Jiangling as a teacher. A serious elementary school teacher has a salary and a salary, but he insists that a teacher is not an official. What he took was not the salary of the new dynasty, but the Shuxiu that he deserved as a teacher.
Among all the descendants of Zhang Juzheng, two are currently officials, one is a magistrate, and the other is only a county magistrate.
Song Yingxing said: "Fei Dudu requested that the Mongolian leaders who made contributions in this battle be given surnames and names, and I think it is feasible."
The reason why Fei Ruhe asked to reward the Mongolian leader with his name is actually very simple. He felt that Mongolian surnames were too awkward to pronounce, and there were too many duplicate names. For example, there were two in Manzhu Xili, and they would be confused if they were not careful.
However, Song Yingxing had other ideas. In the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties, they often gave surnames to the leaders of different races. Why can't I, the Datong Dynasty, do it? Moreover, giving Han surnames is conducive to the assimilation of foreign races. Mongolia does not edit history books, as long as they change their surnames to Han, the Golden Family will gradually fade away after a hundred years.
Zhao Han also thought it was feasible, so he said to Wang Tiaoding, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, "Choose from a hundred surnames Forget it, let's all be named Zhao. The Mongolian leaders probably don't like ordinary surnames, so let them have the same surname as the royal family. The Ministry of Rites We are discussing to get some names, and the daily report will come up in a few days, and after the beginning of spring, we will send envoys to the grassland to reward the names."
After the Han Dynasty, a bunch of leaders of the Southern Xiongnu were surnamed Liu, and there were even hard-core "smart men" like Liu Yuan. Although Liu Yuan was from the Huns, in the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, he can definitely be called a benevolent monarch, even more benevolent than most Han emperors.
Now Zhao Han has decided to grant a surname. As long as the authority of the Datong court is still there, from now on, the leaders of the Mongolian tribes in Monan will be surnamed Zhao from generation to generation.
Maybe someday, there will be a few more.As soon as he changed, he immediately became taller, and he also had the style of catching up with Han and Tang.
Of course, the details are different, not just a name change.
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have discussed repeatedly, and the Governor's Mansion also strongly suggested that the military command of the governor should be restored. This time, Li Zheng, the governor of Heilongjiang, also temporarily restored the command of the military. It is estimated that there will be many wars in the future, and it is not possible to The second time must be authorized by the imperial court. If your majesty is worried about the story of the Tang Dynasty Jiedushi, you can hand over the civil affairs and power of the Duhufu to the Changshi. The Changshi is a civil servant who controls financial power and civil rights. In order to follow the second grade, the rank is higher than that of the right ministers of the provinces."
Zhao Han pondered over and over, nodded and said, "Yes."
Song Yingxing suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the functions of the left and right ministers of each province overlap quite a bit. After discussing with the cabinet ministers, please set up two right ministers in each province to take charge of the affairs of the various departments in the province."
In other words, a left chief envoy is equivalent to the (that) governor of the province. The two right chief envoys are equivalent to the (that) deputy governor in charge.
Zhao Han said: "We can solicit the opinions of the chief envoys of the provinces on this matter, and we can discuss it after summarizing."
Zhao Han also said: "The Protectorate of Andong, the administrative office can be moved to the confluence of Heilongjiang and Songhua River (Tongjiang). But don't worry now, it is too far away, and we have to stay in the current residence (Harbin) for the time being. .Wang Fuchen has already stationed there with 1,500 soldiers. In recent years, many criminals have been exiled. Although they are exiled criminals, they must not be abused. Indigenous women are wives. At least five years later, they can move to the residence of the Andong Protectorate. As for the construction of Heishui City, it has to be done slowly, because the population there is sparsely populated and cannot withstand the toss of building a city."
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers shouted.
Zhao Han smiled and said, "Let's go."
The ministers of the cabinet department left happily, although Zhao Han cleaned up the Tianzheng and the officialdom, and put the Beijing officials in danger. But combating corruption is one thing, and expanding territory is another.
Duhufu, and set up three in one go.
These important cabinet ministers were quite excited, dreaming that they would assist the Holy King and restore the distant and glorious Han and Tang Dynasties. In the future, it would be best to restore the Anxi Protectorate and take back the Western Regions. These important ministers will surely be able to leave their names in history.
Who said military generals only want to open up borders?
Civil servants also want to!
