It's almost May in a blink of an eye.

The awarding time is set on May 1st.

Just to give him what honors, Military Affairs Minister and Zhao Dongting spent a lot of effort and various weighings.

Finally, it was decided to establish eight great marshals, sixteen top commanders, thirty-six top commanders, one hundred and twenty-six top commanders, and eight hundred and ninety-nine top commanders.

To date, the list of awards has been officially issued.

In fact, before the list of awards was issued, the generals in the military had roughly figured out what awards they would award. Of course, some people were dissatisfied with the medals they received, but basically no one caused trouble.

They all worked hard with Zhao Dongting, from the most difficult era of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Dongting has always achieved political awareness in the army over the years. The overall awareness of the generals of the Song Dynasty can be said to be quite high. Only a very small number of people value personal honor and disgrace, even if many of them are from ordinary origins.

Speaking of which, there are no fewer people who take the initiative to mention the surrender of the honor than those who want to mention the surrender.

This really touched Zhao Dongting.

From this matter, we can clearly see which generals can still be useful in the future. Some of them need to be beaten.

No matter what, since you are a general in the army, you should put the country first and put personal honor and disgrace behind.

Everyone wants to be glorious and glorious, but there must be a limit.

Up to now, the generals from all walks of life who were going to Changsha to participate in the awarding of medals are already on the way. The civil officials in the court did not participate in the awarding of medals.

This kind of general and honor was specially established for military generals, and it has been like this since its inception. As for civil officials, those who have made contributions will of course be promoted and rewarded, but the medals they have been awarded are the ones they have given are the ones they are such as Duke, Marquis, Bozinan.

This kind of title can be said to be much more rare than martial arts honors. Zhao Dongting always maintained quite strict standards in this regard.

I don’t know if it was because Zhao Dongting wanted to award a medal at Changde Mansion, but I realized that it was not appropriate to cause trouble at this time, but it was much calmer than before.

Information from spies from the Military Intelligence Department said that Prince Jian’s Mansion has not been in trouble with Zijing Villa recently. There was no problem with the construction of the new drug shop.

As for the grassland, there are several tribes still fighting. On the surface, it looks like the grudges between the tribes, but in fact, they are divided into two categories. One is secretly surrendered to Tiemur, and the other is that they have never arrived at the ancestral land and have made up their minds to leave the ancestral land.

May is here.

The generals from all over the country who were going to participate in the award ceremony have arrived in Changsha on schedule, with hundreds of people.

Only partly because we have to handle daily affairs in the military or have other tasks, we are not invited.

These generals will also participate in the award ceremony in various places.

The first day of May is destined to be a day that will be recorded in history.

On that day, Zhao Dongting got up early and dressed in his clothes. Then he took Eunuch Liu and others to the largest Mingjing Hall in the palace.

Mingjing Hall is the place where the Mingjingtai Conference is held.

By then, the two or above officials in the court, as well as the military affairs ministers, the Ministry of War, and the generals from various security departments who participated in the awarding of medals were already seated.

"I'm going to see the emperor, my emperor..."

Zhao Dongting just appeared, and nearly a thousand people saluted each other.

Each face was filled with excitement.

These people are all very status-based and should be serious in the eyes of most people, but here, they are no different from ordinary people.

Zhao Dongting walked to the middle of the stage with a smile and pressed his hands down, "All my dear friends please sit down!"

Then I sat down.

Looking around the people in the front row, they all had familiar faces. There were also many familiar ones behind them.

As the emperor, the Song Dynasty was nominally the most substantial ruler, so Zhao Dongting first made a speech.

This process took half an hour.

The manuscript was written by him.

The above describes the experience of the Song Dynasty growing and thriving step by step over the years. It especially rewrites the changes in the army.

At the end, he also wrote about his plans for the future of the Song army. The 36th Tiangang Army has been established. Now that the entire Yuan Dynasty has been captured, it is time for the 72 Earthly Demon Army to make up for it.

It is necessary to have so many troops to ensure the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and its hegemony in the world.

After he made his speech, the military representative Wen Tianxiang spoke again.

It is beyond doubt that he is the representative of the army. Whether it is qualifications, status, or military merits, Wen Tianxiang is the second only to Zhao Dongting in the Song Dynasty.

Wen Tianxiang's speech was more nostalgic, saying how he, Zhang Shijie and others led the small court to resist the Yuan Dynasty. What he wanted to express overall was how the prosperity of the Song Dynasty was hard-won.

There were many people in the hall wiping their tears silently.

That period was the darkest time of the Song Dynasty. No one thought that in just over ten years, the Song Dynasty would usher in the current prosperity.

"emperor……"

Wen Tianxiang read out his manuscript in front and looked back at Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting smiled and nodded, and said angrily: "Then start awarding merits..."

The sound spread throughout Mingjing Hall.
