When the second report of the Liaodong victory reached the capital, the court was in an uproar.
On that day in the court, a few old officials who had experienced the crushing defeat back then lost their composure and cried on the spot.
Although the little Emperor of Heaven Enlightenment did not have much of an understanding of military matters, when he saw the news of the 50,000 people being killed, he could not help but clap his hands and cheer.
On the spot, they clamored that they would personally go to Liaodong to reward the three armies, especially Tang Feng, who had contributed greatly to Liaodong's victory.
Of course, the officials of the court would not allow him to leave the capital and go to the dangerous Liaodong.
Under the persuasion of the ministers, the little Emperor finally gave up on the idea of going to Liaodong.
After that, two days of court meetings were held. The topic of discussion was naturally how to award the meritorious officials who won the Liaodong victory.
After a heated debate, there was finally some progress on the reward.
In the Jin Dynasty, the king of Liaodong was granted the title of Prince Shaofu, rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver, brocade and other various playthings. As for the official title, he did not rise again.
North Town Commander Zhou Yinglong was promoted to the rank of Dragon Tiger General. He took over the position of Liaodong Commander and led all of Liaodong's border troops.
Yu Huafeng, the chief eunuch of Liaodong Jianjun, was rewarded with 50,000 taels of gold and silver, as well as a number of brocade toys.
North town deputy general Zhao Ji, official promotion, seal Zhao Yi General.
North town guerrilla general Ding Jia, official promotion level, seal Dingyuan General.
North town guerrilla general Ding Yi, official promotion level, seal Dingyuan General.
Other than that, there were also some middle-level and low-level officers who were given the title of general.
In any case, everyone came together to make a fortune. The original small commanders-in-chief had turned from crows into phoenixes and became guerrilla generals.
This time, there was still no reward from Tang Feng. However, everyone understood that it was not because the Emperor and the cabinet had forgotten about their Eunuch Wei.
Eunuch Wei's merits were too big, too big.
Even if he wanted to reward them, he could only do so after Eunuch Wei returned to the capital and the little Emperor had brought the two Queen Jinbeils to the ancestral temple.
However, no one could think of anything else that the imperial court of the capital could give Eunuch Wei.
One had to know that now, Tang Feng was already the Grand Eunuch of the Board of Rites and the Duke of the East Chamber. His status could be said to be below one person and above tens of thousands of people.
Thinking about it, it seemed like there was nothing else other than the title of nobility and land.
However, in the entire history of China, there had never been a eunuch who had received a title of nobility. Even Zheng He, the eunuch from the Three Treasures Palace, had never received such a reward.
Tang Feng was not interested in the rewards. Compared to those insignificant rewards, he was more willing to see Liaodong become his territory.
Apart from Commander Zhou Yinglong and Deputy General Zhao Ji, the others in North Town were either recruited from the system or had already submitted to him.
Even Zhou Yinglong and Zhao Ji were grateful to him. As long as he could guarantee their wealth, they would support him unconditionally.
Liaodong's strategy, Liaodong's commander, Beizhen's deputy commander, and Liaodong's supervisor were all under his command. Now, he was only missing the Liaodong governor.
However, the current position of Liaodong governor was vacant. He still needed to use some methods. As long as he could get the Liaodong governor in his hands, then Liaodong would really be his world.
Everyone said that Liaodong was a bitter and cold place, but they did not see the fertility of the land and the many mineral deposits.
If this place was managed well, it would be a small Jiangnan.
In the 3rd month of the first year of Tianqi, the 30,000 Ming troops and 200,000 border residents moved north to enrich Guangning City.
In the same month, Cai He, who had just been promoted to the third rank Zhao Yi General, led 10,000 Jing soldiers across Shanhaiguan and arrived at Guangning City.
The reason why Cai He was able to rise from a small guerrilla general to a third-grade deputy commander was all because of Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong played an important role in the smooth pacification of Henan. After he got enough qualifications, he successfully entered the cabinet and became Liu Yijing's successor.
As for Cai He, he had made outstanding contributions in the war in Henan and was very supportive of Sun Chengzong, so Sun Chengzong treated Cai He as his confidant.
Therefore, after Sun Chengzong rebelled and entered the cabinet, he praised Cai He.
This time, Tang Feng's memorial mentioned Cai He. Sun Chengzong wanted to use Cai He to get involved in Liaodong.
Just like that, Cai He became a Rank-3 deputy commander.
If Sun Chengzong knew that Cai He was actually Tang Feng's man, he would probably vomit blood from anger.
This time, the chief and two deputy chief soldiers of Liaodong were replaced with Old Wei's people.
Since Cai He was here, the new army would definitely be formed in Liaodong. All the personnel were indispensable.
Before he left, Tang Feng specially recruited ten middle-level officials and twenty middle-level generals. The officials were handed over to Wang Zaijin, and the generals, along with five hundred musketeers and two hundred artillery men, were given to Cai He.
After Liaodong was settled, Tang Feng led a group of soldiers to escort Huangtaiji, Menggeertai, and the 1,000 Houjin captives back to the capital.
Along the way, there were 2,000 elite soldiers guarding and there were garrisons along the way to support them, so they did not encounter any trouble.
After entering Shanhai Pass, the five thousand cavalry from the capital were waiting for him.
Whether it was the little Emperor Tianqi or the ministers in the court, they all placed great importance on the prisoners being presented to the Imperial Ancestral Temple.
Ever since Shenzong, the Later Jin Dynasty had wreaked havoc in Liaodong. The Great Ming Dynasty had suffered successive defeats, and this great victory had not come easy.
If he had only killed a few hundred Hou Jin soldiers, there would be nothing to show off. But now, he had two great victories. Not only did he kill tens of thousands of Hou Jin soldiers, but he had also captured two of Hou Jin's Baylors alive. He had to show off.
The news of Liaodong's victory had already spread, and the people of the capital had been setting off firecrackers to celebrate.
Among the people, many people compared Tang Feng, the Great Eunuch who led the Liaodong war, to the Three Treasures Eunuch Zheng He.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were many eunuchs, but there was only one eunuch who could compare to the three treasures.
In the entire history of China, Eunuch San Bao was already the pinnacle of eunuchs. His name was left in history and praised by future generations.
Therefore, the citizens of the cities that Tang Feng passed by welcomed him.
