Emperor Ming Dynasty

Unexpectedly, considering Wang Yingxiong's thoughts, Lu Daqi stopped, while the emperor who was sitting and watching continued:
"Among the four prefectures in Chongqing, Chongqing is the most respected. There are 500,000 people in one prefecture, accounting for [-]% of the province. Even if Youyang prefecture is divided, it will not change much."

"With Peizhou, Zhongzhou, Fengdu, Dianjiang, Changshou, Wulong, Nanchuan and other seven places, set up Badong Prefecture, and the government is in Zhongzhou."

In this way, the newly established Chongqing Province has six prefectures of Chongqing, Badong, Youyang, Kuizhou, Shunqing, and Shizhou.

The provincial capital is in Ba County, Chongqing.

Compared with the municipality directly under the central government of Chongqing in later generations, it is even bigger.

Wang Yingxiong at the side heard the words, his eyelids twitched, and he opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say anything, and he didn't dare to say it.

The emperor glanced at him, but didn't pay attention.

People at that time had this kind of hometown feeling, especially in the case of not leaving the county for most of their lives, which made the township party feeling extraordinarily strong.

If you leave a county, you are basically an outsider.

Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army, Li Hongzhang's Huai Army, and even in the Republic of China, Generalissimo Jiang also looked at Fenghua people from the outside.

Just like Wuyuan, Huizhou, which was assigned to Jiangxi at the beginning. As a result, Huizhou people headed by Hu Shi organized a massive return to Anhui movement, and it took 30 years before they finally returned to Anhui.

A county is so desperate for life, not to mention that now the Chongqing government is being slashed.

It can be said that for Wang Yingxiong, their division is no less than tearing down their house and dividing their cattle and horses, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

"Oh, by the way, Wang Qing is from Chongqing, so it shouldn't be a problem if we divide it like this?"

Facing the emperor's questioning, Wang Yingxiong only felt the knife and awl pierce his chest, and his whole body was bleeding.

The corners of his mouth twitched, his beard moved, and he showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Your Majesty is right."

Zhao Shu smiled, and added a knife: "Qin Gaoming of the Xuanfu Department of Shizhu is old, and the Qin family and the Ma family also have a world leader, should they change their land and return?"

The heroine Qin Liangyu is now 77 years old and has lived three years longer than in history. She can still walk steadily and is in good health.

His nephew Qin Yiming and Zhao Guangyuan both belonged to the Sichuan army, and now he is the commander-in-chief of Hunan. He has accumulated military exploits to the rank of Marquis, and he is also one of the most honorable men in the entire Ming Dynasty.

His grandson Ma Wannian is 28 years old. Relying on his uncle Qin Yiming's relationship, he has made a lot of military exploits. He is very active in the Beijing camp and has already won the viscount.

Both Qin and Ma have become nobles, so naturally the chieftain will not be able to do it.

Otherwise, the local government and the central government will collude, which is easy to cause accidents.

There is no such thing as the best of both worlds.

"That's it!"

Zhang Shenyan agreed: "Ma Wannian was taught by Qin's command to kill the enemy bravely. He is a rare good general. If this continues, Bo and Hou Wangwang, the Shizhu Xuanfu Division should not exist anymore."

"However, Qin Gaoming's prestige is far-reaching and his loyalty is uncompromising. It would be unreasonable for the imperial court to take back the stone pillar directly."

"Unreasonable, let him be reasonable."

Lu Daqi went straight to the point, and there was a hint of heroism of a martial artist:

"The Ma family is full of loyalty, and Qin ordered his husband, his son, and his younger brother to be trapped in the battlefield and to be loyal to the country. It is also appropriate for the court to award a title,"

"In this way, Xuan Fusi can be taken back by pushing the boat along the way."

"Give Qin Liangyu the title of Uncle Shizhu, and his grandson Ma Wannian can inherit the title."

Zhu Yixi spoke directly, not stingy with any title.

Just relying on the three words of Qin Liangyu, it is worth the position of earl.

Of course, the Marquis of Loyalty granted by Nanming in history is just that the title is worthless.

With the addition of previous years, the Lord system has been updated.

Under Gonghou Bozi, there are thousands of households and hundreds of households, a total of seven classes.

After the baron is reduced, he can attack thousands or hundreds of households at a time, thus passing on for three generations.

Viscount as well.

When you reach the earl, you can inherit it to a hundred households, and there will be no reduction, and it can be hereditary.

Marquis to Qianhu, Duke to Baron.

In this way, the nobles are not counted as going through life and death, and finally earn themselves a family business that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

In so many dynasties in history, magnates were basically hereditary, except for the Song Dynasty, which suppressed warriors and liked to use lifelong magnates, all others were no exception.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, although the clans have always descended to hereditary titles, other warriors still inherited titles from generation to generation.

Not to mention anything else, Shi Lang's Marquis of Jinghai has been passed down for 200 years, thirteen generations, until the end of Qing Dynasty.

These large and small lords basically had more than a thousand people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Han Chinese accounted for more than 400 people. They were all awarded by the Ming army who had surrendered.

In a sense, it's actually pretty good.

"The Ma family has a double prince?"

Yan Chongxin said in surprise.

He De and He Neng, he has double nobles, this is the treatment only those founding generals have!

"Ma Wannian's Viscount does not conflict with Qin Liangyu's Shi Zhubo, they deserve it."

Zhu Yixi didn't get along with each other, and said directly: "The viscount is not hereditary, and if there is a stallion for ten thousand years, then bring an earl, that is the real double nobility."

After all, no one objected, so they agreed.

The six ministers went out one after another, leaving only the cabinet members.

After all, such things as planning and saving should be more solemn, and all the important officials of the central government will be there, but for other decisions, they don't need their advice.

Even though they were all listening in just now, they didn't speak much.

The emperor sat high, and the four cabinet ministers sat opposite each other, which seemed a little more relaxed and harmonious.

Zhu Yixi looked at several people, thought about it in his heart, and then said: "I just talked about Qin Liangyu's posthumous title, and I suddenly felt a lot of emotions."

Ok?
Several people immediately sat up straight, leaning forward, showing a listening attitude.

His face was even more dignified, wishing to take a notebook to record the emperor's every word and deed.

Obviously this is another major decision.

"After Jiannu rebelled and conspired to seize Liaodong, the government and the public were in chaos. There were bandits all over the country, and soldiers and horses came and went. It was very lively."

"Leaving aside the rebels, those civil servants and generals who died heroically on the battlefield are hard to count."

"At that time, the imperial court had some posthumous gifts, but it was inevitable that some omissions were made. I think they sacrificed for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, they should have more posthumous names, and Yize's family is small."

These words are beautiful, and they are also words from the heart of the emperor.

Rewarding these loyal ministers can effectively motivate civil servants and generals to fight to the death. What a great thing!
"Although some generals were defeated and died in the end, they killed countless thieves along the way, and they cannot be buried because of their final defeat. It is justified to posthumously give a title."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Daqi broke the rules again and took the lead: "Your Majesty, I believe that the governor of the three sides, Sun Chuanting, has made great contributions to the world, and he has made great achievements in suppressing bandits. Although Tongguan was defeated, the flaws are not concealed."

"Give it to Gao Jue, the government and the public will have nothing to say."
