Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 636 The World Situation

Li Zijing is in Ganzi, and the audience will support him. In accordance with Li Zicheng's will, he no longer proclaims himself emperor, but changes his name to King Kang.

The reason for not continuing to use Dashun is that Li Zicheng received the suggestion of Song Xiance and others back then, in response to the prophecy "When you meet the smoothness, stop it" (Liu Bowen's prophecy circulated in the Ming Dynasty), so the country name is Dashun.

Now that he settled down in the Kangba region and Qinghai, and his desire to counterattack has stopped, he can only think about the continuation of wealth and honor, and changing to King Kang will naturally make Daming feel at ease.

Ganzi, the capital, is recognized by everyone.

In that ghost place in Qinghai, Ganzi is so far behind that you can’t even drink tea. At least Ganzi can wear common clothes and drink tea.

Therefore, Ganzi was renamed Shunjing, extensively expanded, learning the system of the Ming Dynasty, setting up a cabinet, six ministries, and the governor's office of the five armies, and rewarding generals with titles and money, instead of following the messy system of Dashun.

As for the year name, Yongchang is still used, so the year is the seventh year of Yongchang.

In order to expand its sphere of influence and recruit more people, the small court of Shunjing continued to march south and west, marching towards the Qamdo area, and wanted to completely occupy the Kham area.

The situation in the world affects the whole body.

After the rise of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they threatened Khalkha Mongols and promoted the development of Khalkha Mongols to the west, threatening the Heshuo Special Department on Tianshan South Road.

Attacked by Tsarist Russia and Khalkha Mongolia, Gush Khan was forced to go south to find a way out in the Qinghai-Tibet area, and established the Heshuote Khanate across Qinghai-Tibet.

And it was precisely because of Heshuote's southward relocation that the Junggar tribe got a respite, cultivated in the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains, and gradually grew stronger.

Now with the development of the situation, Li Zicheng wrote his own achievements in the Qinghai-Tibet area and established his own small dynasty.

As for Sun Kewang, after staying in Dali Mansion for a few days, he led the army south and disappeared.

How can Yunnan Province manage these things, and can't wait to announce the recovery of Yunnan.

By the fourth year of Shaowu, except for the Liaodong region, the territory of the Hongwu period had been fully restored.

There is even a little transcendence, after all, Uzang is attached to him and formally proclaimed his vassal, and Xiaoliuqiu has established the Taiwan government.

Eight northern provinces: Gansu, Shaanxi, Suiyuan, Ningxia, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong.

Twelve southern provinces: Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi.

Together with Shuntian Mansion, Yingtian Mansion, Xuanda, and Liaoxi Governor's District, there are a total of 24 provincial administrative units.

However, it can also be seen from this that the rise of the South is also an irreversible trend. Even with the addition of Liaoxi and Xuanda Governor-General, the number of provinces is still at a disadvantage.

As soon as Yunnan was restored, Sichuan sent 300,000 silver dollars to supplement its finances, but who knew it was returned.

Fan Yiheng, who was transferred to be the governor of Yunnan, said arrogantly: "Although Yunnan has experienced wars for a long time, the treasury is full, and it is not limited to this little money."

Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, was taken aback when he heard the words. I am from Yunnan, so would I not know the situation in Yunnan?

Except for some land in Yunnan Mansion, the rest of the land in that place can't make ends meet. After so many years of chaos, you still get swollen and fat?

The letters were sent three times in a row, both inside and outside to persuade him, not to make the people of Yunnan Province suffer for the sake of face.

Fan Yiheng smiled wryly and could only explain.

When I arrived in Kunming, although the treasury was more than half empty, there were more than 30 shi of grain left, and more than 20 taels of copper coins and silver, enough to survive the autumn harvest.

Besides, your money and food in Sichuan are so easy to get, don't you have to pay it back in the end?

Central appropriation and local assistance are two different things.

If Yunnan doesn't return it, Ma Gan, the governor, will be scolded by Sichuanese for decades. This kind of thing is too offensive, so it's better not to borrow it.

However, Fan Yiheng was not ambiguous. Knowing that Sichuan had been peaceful for many years, he discussed the matter of buying and selling cattle and ironware.

Sun Kewang disbanded the guard, enslaved these people to reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland, and took over the former guard's land, resulting in more than 2 million acres of official land.

[-]% of the land in Yunnan Prefecture has become official land.

After Fan Yiheng took office, he asked the imperial court for instructions that, except for the [-] mu of official land reserved as public land, the rest were all distributed to people with little or no land.

Including the Xijun and the children of former military households.

Now, in Da'an, Yunnan Province, tens of thousands of Western soldiers were all smiles and became supporters of the imperial court.

"Although Sun Kewang was diligent in managing the land, he was too stingy and never distributed a single acre to the soldiers."

Fan Yiheng was filled with emotion when he saw these soldiers who were disarmed and returned to the fields.

On the side, Li Dingguo, the commander in chief of Yunnan, said in a soft voice: "Sun Kewang doesn't want these troops to be distracted by the fields, and the income from farming is not as good as the military salary."

"Owning the land, these soldiers will lose their fighting spirit, and will only be content with enjoying themselves, and will be afraid of going to war."

"That's the truth."

Fan Yiheng was taken aback, then suddenly smiled: "With 5000 people recruited, can we fight?"

Zhu Meng was based in Kunming. After the Yunnan government was attached, he no longer took care of Yunnan affairs, and focused his energy on rectifying the army.

As the general army of Yunnan, Li Dingguo's main duty is to appease Yunnan, and the remaining state capitals and chieftains will naturally be conquered by him.

Fan Yiheng was quite dissatisfied with the gradually shrinking and inactive Yunnan Province, which was far from its heyday.

So he wanted Li Dingguo to frighten the barbarians, let him enter Yunnan, and offer his books.

"The Lifan Court came with an order, asking us to announce to all the consolation divisions that when we enter Beijing to pay tribute, the Lifan regulations must be followed, and sending troops to the south is inevitable."

Fan Yiheng looked into the distance and said with emotion: "If the Xuanwei Division is less than that of the Taizu, what face does it give us?"

"This..." Li Dingguo raised his head, puzzled and said, "Which department is the Lifan Academy? It can manage our Yunnan?"

"One of the seven ministries of the imperial court, all the inner vassals are in charge of it, such as the chieftain of the inner province, and the outer vassal states of Korea. The power is relatively small, but it is also one of the seven ministries, and it can enter the cabinet."

A hint of envy appeared in Fan Yiheng's eyes, Du Yinxi, it took only five years for Du Yinxi to climb from the magistrate to a minister, who would believe that?
Who makes people Jane in the emperor's heart?

Glancing at Li Dingguo, Fan Yiheng sighed: "Mr. Li, I think it will take a few days before the imperial court's imperial decree to make you a Marquis will arrive, and you will be very prestigious by then."

"You deserve it!" Li Dingguo's eyes were far-reaching, and a few blushes crept up on his cheeks. He was suddenly promoted to the rank after only a few battles, which made people very embarrassed.

"Then go beat those disobedient chieftains."

Fan Yiheng said coldly: "In the past few decades, the power of the imperial court has been declining, some chieftains have violated the law, and the criminal records are still there!"

"We just happened to dig through the old accounts, reform the land and return it to the people, and add a few prefectures and counties."
