After watching it, Zhengde slapped his thighs excitedly and said loudly:
"It's so great! These gangs of Florian robbers were finally beaten away, and I'm in a much better mood!"
At this time, Gu Dayong, Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and others who were originally serving in the leopard room chased after him one by one and surrounded Emperor Zhengde. Hearing that the victory in Guangdong and Guangxi was a big victory, several flatterers rushed to flatter Emperor Zhengde and made Emperor Zhengde laugh.
Zhengde waved his hand with a big heart:
"Wang Aiqing has made such a great contribution, I want to give him a title!"
Liang Chu, Jiang Mian, Mao Jiqi were shocked. You must know that once he was awarded the title, Wang Yu would suddenly change from a civil servant to a military honor and no longer allow him to serve in a civil position. But the three of them were optimistic about Wang Yu and planned to promote him. How could they watch him become a military honor?
Historically, after Wang Shouren was named Earl, he found it difficult to serve as a civil servant again. He had to go back to his hometown to give lectures and then improve his studies. Even if he returned later, he would serve as the governor to quell the rebellion.
But Wang Su Ren is not very similar to Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren is actually not very popular among civil servants and is an alternative among civil servants. Therefore, no one protects Wang Shouren. But Wang Su Ren is not very different. People already know how to scheme and are regarded as their own by the civil servants. Moreover, he defeated the Portuguese with the strategy that civil servants appreciate most. Liang Chu and the other two were relatively upright ministers, so they naturally wanted to protect Wang Su Ren's political future.
So Liang Chudao:
"Your Majesty, no, Wang Xuanzhi is a civil servant, how can he be granted a military honor? Once he is granted a military honor, he will not be able to serve as a civil servant and serve the court!"
Zhengde was stunned. Thinking about it, it was true. So he asked:
"What do you think you should do? He must have a suitable reward for making such a great contribution!"
Gu Dayong, Qian Ning, Jiang Bin and others responded loudly, agreeing with Zhengde's statement.
Jiang Mian thought for a while and said:
"Why would you rather promote your official position beyond the level and then allow his son to be a hereditary military officer?"
This is also a way to reward civil servants. Some military merits cannot be obtained by civil servants themselves, otherwise they will have to be transferred from their posts. Therefore, in addition to the rewards for promotion in their positions, the civil servant will often be allowed to be a hereditary general.
However, this kindness is often given to the son who cannot study for the civil servant. After all, no one can guarantee that his sons are good at studying and can take the imperial examination. Therefore, having a hereditary military position can be regarded as a guarantee of wealth.
At this time, Mao Ji also spoke:
"Your Majesty, why not wait until the prisoner offering ceremony before talking about it? You know, it is more than 3,300 ghosts. If you offer prisoners in front of the Taimiao, it will definitely boost the prestige of our Ming Dynasty!"
Mao Ji's original intention is to avoid Zhengde making a decision. As long as things are delayed, will the cabinet have the final say?
Sure enough, when it comes to the prisoner offering ceremony, Zhengde is excited and asks:
"There are really 3,351 ghosts? They are all yellow-haired and blue-eyed, like the North Sea Grand Duke Malin?"
Liang Chu replied:
"According to the crucified, there are also many black hair, but they are all high nose bridges and different eyes than those of the Ming Dynasty. You can tell at a glance that they are strange ghosts!"
"That's good, it's just that I haven't seen anyone fighting in the Leopard Room. If it were the people of the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely be scolded to death by you civil officials. Well, I will let those ghosts fight in the Leopard Room, do you have no objection?" Zhengde, who especially likes to watch the fight, suddenly planned to let more than 3,000 Portuguese prisoners of war fight in the Leopard Room for him...
The poor Portuguese didn't know that their prisoners of war, Zhengde, did not give the opportunity to spend money to redeem them, and were directly taken to be a gladiator. However, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty did not regard these Folangji people as humans, so they acknowledged Zhengde's absurd behavior.
Because the Ming Dynasty rejected the Portuguese's request to redeem prisoners of war, the relationship between the two countries could not be eased, which made Marin laugh for a long time...
...
In the evening, Liang Chu went home and received a private secret letter from Wang Hun. After reading the secret letter, Liang Chu not only exclaimed:
"Wang Xuanzhi is indeed a fellow man of our generation. He is really a virtuous minister for the sake of the court! I will protect such a pillar of talent!"
Yang Yiqing, the Minister of Personnel, also received a secret letter after returning home. After reading the secret letter, Yang Yiqing also admired Wang Wei's approach of "taking into account the overall situation" and planned to protect him.
Afterwards, both of them wrote a reply and sent their servants to Wang Yu's messenger who lived at the inn. In the letter, they highly praised Wang Yu's behavior of "taking into account the overall situation" and directly promised that they would definitely speak for him. In this way, Wang Yu had a great opportunity to hug the thighs of the two big bosses.
During the routine morning court the next day, Liang Chu announced the good news of the "Deep Water Bay Victory" in public at the morning court regular meeting, which attracted the court officials to cheer.
Emperor Zhengde was also full of energy. After all, he, the emperor, was "leading well" to defeat a powerful enemy. The ministers also had the eyesight and congratulated Zhengde one after another, which made Emperor Zhengde feel very happy.
At this time, Wang Qiong, the Minister of War, suddenly made a suggestion - he suggested that the 1,800 Portuguese mesh guns seized and the about 300 Folang machine cannons unloaded or salvaged from the ship should not be transported back to the capital immediately, but should be transported to the Guangdong Fujiang area nearby to wipe out the uprising army of King Gongxun of Fujiang.
You should know that in the Guangdong Fujiang area, in order to suppress Wang Gongxun's peasant uprising, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Chen Jinzheng, with a 100,000 army from Guangdong and Guangxi, is in the process of suppressing the attacks in six directions. However, because Wang Gongxun is strong and familiar with the terrain, there is no result for the time being.
You should know that in the original history, Wang Gongxun's uprising was not completely suppressed until November of the 12th year of Zhengde (1517). In other words, Chen Jin had to fight for more than a year. After all, it was the summer of 1516, and it was still early to the winter of 1517.
If 1,800 convex guns seized from the Portuguese and more than 300 Folang machine cannons were transported to the front-line battlefield, it would definitely be of great help to wipe out Wang Gongxun's uprising army. After all, the peasant uprising army had no firepower. If Chen Jin had such strong firepower, he would definitely be able to speed up the bandit suppression.
After Wang Qiong finished speaking, Jiang Mian gave Wang Qiong a grateful look. Why? Because Chen Jin is Jiang Mian's father-in-law...
Wang Qiong proposed to send the batch of muskets and cannons to the front line, which was equivalent to helping Chen Jin to speed up the pace of quelling the uprising. Chen Jin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who was responsible for the extermination of peasant uprisings, was the father-in-law of the second auxiliary Jiang Mian. In addition to helping the bandit suppression, Wang Qiong's move was to end the bandit suppression as soon as possible, and to save military expenses, both inside and outside, and also to please Jiang Mian.
Wang Qiong was the Minister of War in Zhengde's tenth year, and only served for less than a year. After hearing about Wang Yu's deeds, he admired Wang Yu's skills while also worried that he would be replaced by Wang Yu. After all, Wang Yu's record was too dazzling.
At this time, he proposed to leave the group of guns and cannons for Chen Jin to suppress the bandits, which was equivalent to pleasing the second auxiliary Jiang Mian. In this way, Jiang Mian had to accept his feelings and protect him, the Minister of War...
However, the court and the middle and the middle also agreed that this suggestion was very good. After all, not to mention the 1,800 mesh guns, just those more than 300 Flang machine cannons, they could destroy the peasant uprising army if they were pulled in front of the formation...
