Qiming 1158

Chapter 1290 Division of Sichuan and Shu
A few days later, Su Haisheng and Xu Tong split up to perform other military missions.

In the entire northern and central parts of Sichuan and Shu, wherever there are places that the Ming army has not won, no matter whether the local officials in Song surrender or close themselves, the Ming army will go to attack and occupy.

In mid-February, the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, the northern and central regions of Chuan and Shu had been occupied, and more than two-thirds of the land of Chuan and Shu was actually controlled by the Ming army, which basically reached the limit of Song Ting's control.

Not only that, because the military control of some prefectures and Jiji areas inhabited by a small number of residents has been carried out, the military deterrence of the Qilu Corps has been greatly enhanced, so the Ming State's control over Sichuan and Shu is even stronger.

Under the military deterrence of the Ming army, there has been no trouble in these detention areas for the time being. According to the latest news, while they are conducting armed mobilization, they are also actively seeking the possibility of contact with the Ming country.

It seems that the strong deterrence of the Ming army has a very good effect.

So Su Haisheng and Xu Tong began to plan to have preliminary contacts and exchanges with the people of various ethnic minorities in the Jiji area. If possible, reach a preliminary detention agreement as soon as possible, and then start bilateral trade cooperation as soon as possible, and lay a foundation for further cooperation. The basics.

The reconstruction work in the area north of the Minjiang River has already begun, and the ethnic work south of the Minjiang River is facing many difficulties, which requires not only military strength, but also full policy power and patience.

This direction of work is what the Ming government and the Renaissance Society organization in the Sichuan-Shu area will need to work on in the future.

The news traveled northward with the captured original rulers of Sichuan and Shu to Guanzhong, and then from Guanzhong all the way eastward to the Central Capital in the Land of Yanyun.

Of course, the news came faster. Before Zhao Buxi and others arrived in the Central Capital, Su Yonglin knew about the crushing victory of the Ming army in the battle of Chuanshu.

He was very happy and ordered the Privy Council to award meritorious deeds, establish a merit book for meritorious deeds, and then give due rewards based on merit.

Then began to arrange the administrative team of Chuanshu to govern Chuanshu.

Before that, Su Yonglin made some small changes to the Chuan-Shu area originally planned by the Song Dynasty.

For example, the original military and supervisor-level organizational systems were all changed into states, and only the two administrative structures of the same level in the state capital were retained.

The Song Dynasty inherited the habit of the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and set up the [military] level of the establishment in the military key areas, and set up the [supervisor] in the pit smelting, casting money, salt making, and horse grazing.

The government of the late Tang and Five Dynasties first did this to reflect the difference between the region and normal state capitals, mainly focusing on military or smelting, and the related configuration was slightly different.

However, as time passed, the military and supervisors gradually became the administrative planning at the same level as the state capital, and the same counties below became the normal administrative system and lost their specificity.

Therefore, Su Yonglin simply changed all these establishments, and changed them to the normal state-level establishment that was customary in the Ming Dynasty, which could be regarded as a brand-new unification of the national administration.

Afterwards, according to the results of the discussions at the State Council, Su Yonglin ordered the entire Sichuan and Shu region to be divided into three administrative regions, and established administrative systems to start new rule.

The original Southern Song Dynasty Lizhou East Road, Lizhou West Road, Chengdu Fu Road, Tongchuan Road and most of the prefectures under their jurisdiction were integrated into one, and Sichuan Province was established as the main body of Sichuan and Shu.

The former Southern Song Dynasty Kuizhou Road and its jurisdiction Dazhou, Kaizhou, Daningzhou, Yunanzhou, Kuizhou, Shizhou, Zhongzhou, Liangshan, Wanzhou, Fuzhou, Qianzhou, Nanpingzhou, Chongqing Prefecture, etc. The state capital was incorporated into the organizational system, and Chongqing was directly under the central government.

In addition, the southern part of the area under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Fu Road, Tongchuan Fu Road and Kuizhou Road, that is, all the areas south of the first line of Qianzhou, Fuzhou, Nanpingzhou, Luzhou, Changningzhou, Xuzhou, Jiadingfu and Lizhou Divide it out and set up Yunnan and Guizhou provinces separately.

This new setting is the result of discussions throughout the State Council.

Su Yonglin mainly took into account the special geographical environment of the Chuan-Shu region and the special situation that the Shu people supported the imperial court against the Ming Kingdom, and realized the strong local power and strong centrifugal trend in the Chuan-Shu region, and decided to divide the Chuan-Shu region geographically. Open up, and cut off the possibility of people with ulterior motives to establish themselves in Shu.

With the establishment of Chongqing Central Government to separate the mountains in the eastern part of the Shuzhong Plain, the external channel is under the direct jurisdiction of Chongqing Central Government, and it is not under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province.

In this way, as long as there are no internal problems, the long-term stability of Sichuan and Shu can basically be guaranteed.

The establishment of Yunnan-Guizhou Province is the result of practical considerations.

Today, the main control of the Ming state is the area north of the Minjiang River, and the vast area south of the Minjiang River is still outside the actual control of the Ming state. It takes a lot of twists and turns for the army to really penetrate it, let alone administrative power.

The establishment of Yunnan-Guizhou Province is mainly to completely and completely demarcate the entire area and the uncontrolled areas. At this stage, the power is violently attacking Sichuan Province and Chongqing directly under the central government, and these two new administrative regions will be settled and digested. rear of the province.

The Yunnan-Guizhou province temporarily exists as a shackled area, but a provincial system must be established to demonstrate the orthodox ownership of the central government's ownership of the Yunnan-Guizhou land.

You are a province, not a Jiji area, even if it is actually a Jiji area, nominally, you are also a central province.

Take the righteous name first, and then talk about other things.

Although the Yunnan-Guizhou province does not have the possibility of direct administration at present, the entire leadership team must be established, and there should be all necessary, and a group of officials who are truly familiar with the actual local conditions will be trained to reserve talents for future comprehensive management.

Therefore, as in the past, the Imperial Ministry of Officials and the Central Organization Department of the Renaissance Association selected outstanding, capable and experienced veterans to form an administrative team with new recruits who had just been selected for the exam, and went to Sichuan and Shu with great might and went to their jobs to shine.

A large number of novices rushed to their posts under the leadership of the elderly, while another group of carefully selected elite cadres formed a Yunnan-Guizhou provincial team and went south to Yunnan-Guizhou.

Chengdu is the administrative office of Sichuan Province, Chongqing is the administrative office of Chongqing directly under the central government, and Yunnan-Guizhou Province has temporarily designated Zunyi County in Zunyi Prefecture as the administrative office of Yunnan-Guizhou Province due to its special circumstances, and all teams and troops will go to local collection.

This series of procedures has been gone through several times. Ming Guo is very familiar with it, and he is not surprised, and he is not panic at all. Just follow the procedure and go on like this, and everything seems to be so orderly.

The administrative issues were handed over to the Ministry of Officials of the Imperial Court and the Organization Department of the Renaissance Society. Su Yonglin brought the Privy Council, the General Staff Headquarters and the Central Military Affairs Department to hold a military meeting to study the military issues in the Chuan-Shu region and finally determined the Chuan-Shu Corps. the importance of establishment.
