Chapter 421: The Duke!

The military envoy who reported the victory in the southwest was received by the General Staff for the time being after entering Beijing, and then reported to Zhu Di as soon as possible. The latter ran into the palace in a hurry under the shower of night.

Zhu Yunwen, who was running around the Ganqing Palace at night, didn't care about taking a shower and changing clothes, and rushed to Wuying Palace with sweat all over his head.

"No need to be greeted."

Raising his hand to stop Zhu Di's actions, Zhu Yunwen sat next to Zhu Di, took the military newspaper and started reading it.

"Your Majesty, be careful of catching a cold."

At this time, Shuangxi ran and followed in, holding a thin cloak. Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was so sensible, she gently put her on Zhu Yunwen's legs and lifted them up to cover her belly.

"OK!"

Zhu Yunwen suddenly slapped the handrail and stood up again, shook off the cloak that had just been covered, and paced back and forth excitedly in the hall with the military newspaper.

"Ma Dajun made great contributions, and made great contributions."

Conquering Isgreen Fort, opening up the Hindu Kush Mountain Road, grasping the initiative of India's offensive and defensive power against the Timur Khanate, and truly realizing a comprehensive blockade of India from a geographical location.

"Although the Turkic noble governors have not been completely eliminated in various states and the countries southward of Bachmani still exist, it is almost time to eliminate them and unify the entire India."

Zhu Di also clenched his fists excitedly: "At least two years, this land and the nearly 40 million living mouths belong to my Ming Dynasty."

All the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, and all the dynasties, the achievements of expanding territory and territories are far less than those of Jianwen dynasty.

"So quickly pass the Yongcheng waiting for Xue Ke to enter the palace."

Zhu Yunwen's excitement could not be reduced for a while, and he didn't care that it was too late. He summoned Xue Ke, the commander of the Fujian-Zhejiang Navy.

"Let the navy help the Ma army, destroy Ceylon from the sea first, and attack Mumbai by the way, cut off all the connection between India and the outside world," he said.

In fact, Zhu Yunwen is not caring about expanding territory and increasing Dingkou.

Others also wanted to destroy India and directly rule the land, but Zhu Yunwen had no such plan at all.

Saving?

Why spend money?

To put it bluntly, the people on that land were not qualified to be the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Excellent achievements, extraordinary achievements."

Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath and expressed his affirmation of the achievements of Ma Dajun again: "Uncle Fourth, do you know that the importance of conquering the entire India is even far beyond the conquering the entire prairie back then, even the territory of the prairie It is more vast than an India, but its meaning to our Ming Dynasty is not comparable at all."

Zhu Di didn't quite understand what Zhu Yunwen meant, so he chose to listen quietly.

"My Ming Dynasty is about to usher in a drastic change and a real progress from top to bottom."

One India, a leek land with a population of 30 to 40 million, has a steady stream of food, labor, minerals, and gold. How much productivity will the Ming Dynasty release?

Large-scale popularization of education can be achieved, and large-scale scientific research projects can be launched to experiment. Following this, countless factories have emerged, providing the most powerful support for the transformation and industrialization of the traditional old agricultural civilization.

Zhu Yunwen, who became happier the more he thought about it, clenched his fists and high-highs, turned his head to look at Zhu Di: "Fourth Uncle, I want to reward the horse army with great importance. Tell me how to reward it."

Zhu Di spoke suddenly, but when he saw Zhu Yunwen's face full of anticipation and joy, he boldly said, "Since Your Majesty asks me, I will speak frankly.

Although Ma Dajun is a man and has no cultural level, his military achievements over the past decade are truly the best in the Jianwen Dynasty. Your Majesty, our Jianwen Dynasty has never been granted a title of Duke."

Duke of the State!

A Lord Ma Dajun has been thinking about for so many years.

The Jianwen Dynasty only had two Dukes, one was Duke Muchun of Dian, and the other was Duke Song Sheng of Su.

But both were chased after death. Even the Marquis of Yongcheng Xue Ke, who was living in Southeast Asia, who made achievements on the sea, did not get involved.

"Duke, Duke."

Zhu Yunwen pondered with his hands behind his back and nodded after a long time.

"Okay, I will grant him a Duke! If you have merits, you should reward this merit. He is a great hero of the country and deserves this honor.

I remember he is from Guizhou, right? Then I will be named Duke of your country, how about it?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I will serve as a army of horses, thank you for your great kindness."

Zhu Di suddenly stood up, his head a little confused.

Even he himself did not expect that Zhu Yunwen not only allowed Ma Dajun to enthrone the title of Duke, but also gave him a noble title, not the kind of unworthy Liu title.

For example, the Marquis of Dingnan, who is now on the head of Ma Dajun, is a Liu Jue, and he will be born in one generation.

The same dukes, such as Xu Huizu's Duke of Wei and Li Jinglong's Duke of Cao, are all noble titles that can be inherited because they are named place names.

In the past, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty could still enjoy part of the tax on the fiefdom. This privilege was cut off in the Jianwen Dynasty, but the nobles were not qualified to compete with the Liu Jue, and it was the top honor of the three generations of Yin Feng.

As long as the emperor issued an edict to enfeoff the Duke of Ma Dajun, the Ministry of Rites would start to choose posthumous titles for Ma Dajun's father, grandfather, great-grandfather and other three generations, move tombs and build tombs, and carve stone tablets in Ma Dajun's hometown.

And Ma Dajun's children and his wife will also be granted a seal.

The legitimate son can inherit the title, but other sons will receive titles such as Hou and Bo, and their wife will also receive the titles of the first-class edict, and their daughter will also receive the titles of the county lord the most.

This is the true sense that the entire family has been brought into the uppermost circle of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the descendants of Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong, the two founding generals, were only on par with Ma Dajun, and ordinary relatives of the vassal kings were even less than Ma Dajun.

Both the monarch and ministers were happy for Ma Dajun. At this time, Xue Ke was summoned to the palace. After learning about it, he felt so envious.

The first Duke of Jianwen Dynasty and the most noble title were taken away by the village man Ma Dajun.

"Xue Ke, I want to capture Ceylon and Mumbai. I need your navy to provide assistance to the Ma Dajun on the sea to the next southern expedition. Is there any problem?"

Xue Ke didn't even think about it, and he thrust his chest and made a promise.

"Please rest assured that Your Majesty and the King of Yan, at most three months, I will definitely win."

What a good guy, the Fujian-Zhejiang Navy set off from Fuzhou to Ceylon, and even rushed to attack the city and destroy the country. Since Xue Ke dared to say that it only took three months.

Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di looked at each other, and both of them laughed.
