Chapter 570
Chu Hu finally fulfilled his wish and became a knight enthroned by the sacred emperor of the Han Dynasty.
In Chaoyang City, Liaoxi Province, the Holy Emperor's journey was in front of the wooden palace, with 360 newly-cancelled knights and 1,080 newly-cancelled warriors, here they swore allegiance to the Holy Emperor.
Chu Hu was excited. He knelt on the school ground in front of the emperor, wearing a gorgeous Han military dress, intertwined with red and blue, and was extremely majestic.
In addition to the red and blue military robe, he even wore a golden gilt chest armor given by the Emperor of Han. A nine-headed bird was carved on the shiny golden chest armor.
The lion straps, the gilded golden lion straps, and the gilded helmet on the head, were filled with gorgeous pheasant feathers.
Gorgeous riding boots, equally shiny spurs.
"Swear to the sky to show my ambition; do not bully the weak and spend time humbly;
Don’t be afraid of powerful enemies in the battles you have passed; I will attack your flag if you have any evil and wrong!
The weak and the older ones are the ones who are in battle; if the prisoners ask for help;
A woman is fragile and will never be violated; her colleagues work together and work hard to work together;
Treat your friends sincerely and think that you are a gentleman; what I love is loyal!"
Chu Hu and more than a thousand knights and warriors who were enthroned, swear loudly to the emperor. In order to memorize this passage, Chu Hu has been forgetting to eat and sleep these days, and today he was finally able to finish this passage in full.
The Holy Emperor sat on the throne and listened to the loyalty oath of more than a thousand warriors who performed the best in the Battle of Korchin with a smile.
After reading the vow, Liu Jun stood up, and he was wearing gorgeous armor today.
The emperor walked to the front of the stage and pulled out his sword from his waist.
Holding the sword in his arms, Liu Jun shouted loudly, "Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, brotherhood, integrity, courage, you should remember that there is a way of courtesy and righteousness between the king and the minister, so you should be loyal; there is a order of superiority and inferiority between father and son, so you should be filial; there is a close relationship between brothers and brothers, so you should be kinship; there is a love between husband and wife, and there is a difference between inside and outside. Therefore, you should be tolerant; there is a virtue of integrity between friends, so you should be kind;"
"This is a code of conduct that an empire's conferred knight and warrior must follow!"
Chu Hu'er only understood the first ten words from the emperor's words. These days, they received ritual training. Among them, they had talked about these ten words and understood the true meaning of the cross.
As for what the emperor said, he didn't understand.
He made up his mind that he would have to study Chinese culture well by the time he was about to finish his life.
The enthronement ceremony was very grand. Chu Huer and others had already undergone seven days of etiquette training. Before accepting the enthronement and taking the oath to the emperor, the Han Dynasty also rewarded them with many things.
The golden plate armor and golden helmet on his body, the lion man with horse boots and spurs suits, and a spear.
After they took the oath, the emperor personally awarded them the knight sword and the samurai sword. Each knight also received a knight medal and each knight received a warrior medal.
In addition, they also obtained a canonization certificate indicating the identity of knights and warriors they received, and a bronze seal, which was their seal. There is also a document that detailed the lords they obtained and the location of the fief fiefs they obtained.
Chu Hu'er's knight fief is in the territory of the former Korqin Right-wing Houqin. There is a map on the document indicating the location of the fief. The fief is near a fire vein called a volcano. There is a Camel River next to it, which is a tributary of the Chuer River. The Camel River flows into the Chuer River and finally into the Nen River.
This is the northernmost end of the Zhelim League. There are two continuous mountains to the west and north, and the southeast is the Great Plain of the Nenjiang River. Although it is far away from his current tribe, Chu Hu'er doesn't care much about it.
The Urianha people wandered on the grassland for hundreds of years, even thousands of years, and lived without a fixed place, and they grazed with grass. They had once grazed in the farther north.
And in Chu Hu'er's opinion, this fief is not in good condition, at least it has not been to the Heilongjiang River or Lake Baikal. It is also close to the newly established Liaobei Province of the imperial court.
The fief is not small. After all, this place is not western Liaoning, and it is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Therefore, the fiefs granted by the knights and warriors are quite small. It is estimated that a small tribe of three or five hundred people can be grazed.
As a canonized knight of the empire, this place will be his fiefdom in the future. Although he cannot have the administrative and judicial and tax rights of the territory like the princes, this land is equivalent to his personal belongings.
While becoming a knight, he also became a reserve officer of the empire.
According to the imperial court system, his fief did not limit the number of herders, but if the imperial court summoned him, he needed to prepare his own war horses and weapons, and at the same time he had to provide four knight entourages and fifty militias.
The level of the knight is higher than that of the samurai, but the samurai is not their subordinates and is not affiliated with them. The samurai is also a reserve officer. After being recruited, they also have to bring their own weapons, but they only need to provide two knight entourages and twenty-five militias.
Rights and obligations are equal. Chu Hu'er felt that this provision was not excessive. He was willing to accept the conscription of the empire at any time. Although he needed to bring his own weapons and horses, after the conscription, the court would be responsible for food and grass, and would give military pay allowances, and would be rewarded for his achievements in combat.
After getting the knight sword given by the emperor, Chu Hu'er thought of a troublesome thing.
The knights were given titles and fiefs, but there was no one in his fiefs. After consultation between the emperor and the princes, all the canonized knights and warriors could leave their original tribes and move to the fiefs to live. They no longer accept the command of the tribes, but belong to the empire and are managed by the empire in local provinces and prefectures.
They were able to leave their original tribe with their parents, brothers, wives, and children to be granted a fief.
However, Chu Hu'er calculated that his family had less than fifty people together. There were too few people in this number. His fief could accommodate at least 500 people, or even more.
There were only fifty people, and he could barely gather four entourage knights, but once the court summoned him, it would be difficult for him to gather fifty militias.
Maybe he should find a way to go there to attract a group of herders to his territory. At this time, he regretted it. It would have been great if it hadn't for the fact that he had captured more young and strong prisoners to be slaves when he was fighting Korqin.
When I go to Liaodong to fight the Jurchens, I must find a way to catch a few more prisoners.
Having just been granted the title of knight, Chu Hu was eager to enter Liaodong. After this war, he could move to his fief. If there were more prisoners of slaves, he would be able to settle down quickly in the fief.
The enthronement ceremony on that day was very grand and successful. The emperor conferred more than 300 knights and more than 1,000 warriors at once, all of them were warriors who performed very well in the last battle in each tribe. Although each tribe was very painful, all the compensation given by the emperor was released.
The Mongolian princes took the quota given by the emperor and then enthroned many subordinates as knights and warriors. They were vassals of the princes, but they were also reserve officers of the empire. Once the court summoned them, they would also have to prepare their own war horses and weapons to go on the expedition.
After the enthronement ceremony, it means that the tribes can end their rest and the princes can finally sharpen their swords and enter Liaodong.
After the ceremony, Liu Jun summoned Feng Sheng.
Liu Jun signaled Feng Sheng to come and sat down, "The four tribes of Korqin are finished, and we have to eliminate the roots even if we cut the grass. There are about 200,000 prisoners handed over to the court by each tribe. They will be escorted to the southwest immediately and asked them to build roads and mines, breaking them up and scattering them a little."
"Where are women and protons sent before the Four Ten Flags? How to deal with it?" Feng Sheng asked. He knew that many Mongolian princes wanted the prisoners in Korqin. When fighting, they were eager to chop off their heads and exchanged for some rewards. But after fighting, they thought the prisoners were also very useful.
"Don't give a captive to them." Liu Jun said decisively. The captives such as Korqin were also Mongols. If these 200,000 people were in the hands of the princes, they would probably not take long before they would become the population of the princes and even become their soldiers. Liu Jun did not want to keep such troubles.
As for the women and protons who were sent.
These people are just a group of unlucky people. They are not at fault, but their identities are not low, and they are the children of the leaders of the Four Ten Flags.
After thinking about it, Liu Jun simply made up his mind and said, "Let's kill them all."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Sheng nodded and responded.
"Feng Sheng, I want you to keep an eye on the Mongolian princes. Every Duke, Majesty and other princes should be placed with eyeliners. I must grasp the movements of the Mongolian princes at any time. You even need to find a way to put eyeliners around the knights and warriors."
These are the responsibilities of the Jinyiwei, and Feng Sheng nodded without hesitation. Although this would be a difficult task, the Jinyiwei guaranteed to be completed.
But he still put forward a little of his own opinions, "If they were told, I would be afraid that they would have some opinions on the court."
"With them, don't worry about these. Since I have enfeoffed them as princes, divided their territory, and opened trade with them, I have to control them. If there is no supervision, how can I rest assured? There are still two million people in Mongolia in the south and north of the desert. Although we have just destroyed Korchin and shocked the tribes, there may not be no ambitious people in the tribes. I must understand and master these people as soon as possible."
"We must be prevented before it happens. Once this sign appears, the court must have the ability to extinguish it as soon as possible."
When Liu Jun said this, he still had the same calm tone, and he did not even raise the volume at all, but Feng Sheng saw his ruthlessness in the emperor's eyes.
The division and reward of Mongolian tribes did not mean that the emperor had let them go.
Feng Sheng immediately said, "Any Mongolian princes who have bad intentions will be eliminated immediately, and will eliminate the roots of the disease forever!"
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Well, you must be vigilant enough and you must not relax at all. The Mongolian tribes must be a thorn that has removed the spikes and must not hurt ourselves."
