Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 808 Le Lang and Heilongjiang, the Queen's Map Opens Frontiers

Zhaowu eight years, November [-]th.

Aunt Zhu convened ministers of military affairs in the Wuying Hall to discuss the surrender of North Korea.

In other words, discuss how to govern North Korea after surrender.

This time, a group of ministers of military affairs had a rare unanimity. They all believed that North Korea had long been immersed in Confucian culture, and that it could directly set up a provincial government according to the Ming Dynasty, and govern it as it wanted.

The only thing that needs to be considered is the need to disintegrate the power of officials, gentry and aristocratic families in the former Korean state.

This point is not difficult for the Ming court, and it can even be said to be familiar with it.

Daming is so big, it is completely possible to relocate Korean officials and noble families to other provinces of Daming, just like the disintegration of local clan power in the past.Without the constraints of these officials and aristocratic families, Ming's governance of North Korea would be much easier.

Of course, for those talents who enthusiastically embrace Daming and can quickly familiarize themselves with the local governance model of Ming Dynasty, the court of Ming Dynasty will also appoint them without sticking to one pattern.

As for how to establish a provincial capital in North Korea, it was also discussed in this military aircraft meeting.

In the end, it was decided that Ping'an Road in the former Lee's Korea would be included in Liaodong Province and set up as Ping'an Prefecture.

The remaining Hwanghae-do, Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, Chungcheong-do, Jeolla-do, and Gyeongsang-do were renamed Hwanghae-do, Gyeongdong-do, Gangwon-do, Chungmyeong-do, Jeolla-do, and Gyeongsang-do in turn, and became Lakrang Province. The provincial government is located in Seoul.

The name "Lelang" comes from the four counties established on the Koryo Peninsula during the Han Dynasty, but the Lelang County at that time was actually the Liaodong Peninsula, Ping'an Road, and parts of the Yellow Sea Road.

Now the Ming court is only using the name "Le Lang" for use, but it doesn't pay much attention to it.

As for the former Korean Hamgyong Road, it was merged into the newly established Heilongjiang Province.

The Heilongjiang Province of the Ming Dynasty is mainly under the jurisdiction of the original Nuergandu, which is much larger than the Heilongjiang Province of the later Daxia Kingdom.

Mainly the middle and lower reaches of Heilongjiang, the middle and lower reaches of Songhua River, the entire Wusuli River region, and the eastern part of Changbai Mountain.

Kuwu Island (Sakhalin Island) and Ezo Island (Hokkaido) are also included.

However, a province does not mean that the larger the jurisdiction, the better. In fact, Heilongjiang Province in Ming Dynasty is a place of real bitter cold, especially now that it is still in the Little Ice Age, these places are even colder.With a little more people, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be self-sufficient in food.

As for the provincial government of Heilongjiang Province, considering that before the railway was completed, the Heilongjiang area must be dominated by sea and river transportation, so it was decided to set the provincial government in Xianxing, that is, Xianjing in the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, although Heilongjiang Province in the Ming Dynasty is large, there are few prefectures under its jurisdiction.

In order, it is the southernmost Hamgyong Prefecture, which governs Xianxing; Jianzhou, which is south of the Songhua River in the north of Changbai Mountain, is governed by Shuangcheng (a place slightly north of Vladivostok); Songhua Prefecture in the middle and lower reaches of the Songhua River, governed by later generations Harbin.

Heihe Prefecture in the middle reaches of Heilongjiang was governed by Heihe in later generations; then there was a large area in the east including Kuwu Island and Yezo Island, which was Fushan Prefecture, governed by the former Nuergandu Division (later Russian Tlin ).

However, at present, the Ming Dynasty has not yet implemented effective rule over the Heilongjiang River Basin, because this area was too cold during the Little Ice Age, and most of them were deep mountains and old forests.

The northernmost place where the Ming army is currently stationed is the former Duoyan Sanwei area.At most, troops are dispatched from time to time to inspect the south bank of the Heilongjiang River. No troops are currently stationed on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River.

But now that the imperial court has decided to establish Heilongjiang Province, it will definitely arrange for soldiers to garrison in Jiangbei.

Moreover, the government of several prefectures will also be allocated funds by the imperial court to establish basic local government administrative buildings and other supporting infrastructure.

As for how to develop the place in the future, let the wild Jurchens in the old forests belong to them, and even attract the "southerners" south of Heilongjiang Province to make a fortune (start a business?) and settle down, that is something that local officials need to consider.

Newly established in Heilongjiang, it is a place of bitter cold and hardships, but it is also easy to make achievements.And as long as you make some achievements, you will get a higher evaluation from the court, which means that it is easier to get promoted.

I believe that in the future, Heilongjiang will become a place for young officials with aspirations in the Ming Dynasty to practice and get promoted.

···
night.

In the old house in the bamboo grove, Auntie Zhu was lying on the bed full of thoughts.

"Wife, what are you thinking?" Hao Guangming asked.

Auntie Zhu blinked her eyes and said, "I'm wondering if the Outer Xing'an Mountains area to the north of Heilongjiang Province, and even the vast land further north, should be established to occupy it in name first."

Hao Guangming smiled, "Do you know that this is a map of Xinjiang? Most of the newly established Heilongjiang Province has not been actually mastered by the Ming Dynasty. You actually thought of the Waixing'anling area further north, which is really good. "

Auntie Zhu said cheekily: "What's wrong with the opening of the map? Besides, the places north of Heilongjiang were originally under the jurisdiction of my Daming Nuer Gandu, right?

Even according to some information on your network, from the Heilalong River to the Arctic Ocean, it belongs to my Daming Nuer Gandusi! "

"Okay, okay, it belongs to Daming, and the vast Siberia belongs to Daming, okay?"

"It's our Daming's."

After a pause, Hao Guangming said seriously: "Let's talk about it here, even if you set up a province in the Outer Xing'an Mountains and occupy these places in name, but if you send officials to govern, you must find a point of development.

Otherwise, after a long period of time, even if the ministers in the court do not raise objections due to your prestige, they will not care about governing these places.

In this way, after a hundred years, maybe the Ming court will give up ruling these thankless places. "

"Development," Zhu Yuxi pondered, "Aside from occupying a vast territory and looking good on the map, the only valuable thing in these places is the mines, right?
But the Little Ice Age was so cold, even if you want to mine in those places, it may be very difficult, and the gains outweigh the losses. "

Hao Guangming said: "This requires Daming to develop the mining industry as soon as possible."

Auntie Zhu's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "My lord is right, I can use the technology of later generations to accelerate the improvement of Daming's mining industry.

In this way, the difficulty of mining in those bitterly cold places should be less, the cost will also be reduced, and it may become profitable. "

Hao Guangming said again: "Actually, during the Little Ice Age, it was really not wise to develop to the north.

If in the future Heilongjiang Province and the Outer Xing'an Mountains are really difficult to govern and develop, then Ming Dynasty only needs to send troops to patrol regularly to expel the Tsarist Russian invaders.

We can first focus our development on Southeast Asia, or the Western Regions and Central Asia.As long as the Ming Dynasty occupied the vast Siberia region first, it would not be too late for future generations of Ming people to develop it after the Little Ice Age passed. "

Aunt Zhu nodded when she heard this, "What Mr. Xiang said makes sense, I will weigh this matter and make a decision."

　Second more.

　　Good night~
