In 1652 AD, there were three emperors in China in the past year, and three reigns! The Qing regime in the north was the ninth year of Shunzhi, and the Zhu Hongsan regime in the south was the Shenwu reign, and the Zhu Youlang Yongli regime, which lived on the border between Yunnan and Myanmar, used the Yongli reign.

However, with the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Shunzhi's mother and wife were captured by Zhu Hongsan and were fond of pleasure in the palace, so naturally no one used the Shunzhi reign title, so now there are only two reign titles of Shenwu and Yongli left on the land of China. Although Zhu Youlang still relies on Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo's more than 100,000 troops were circling the border of Myanmar, anyone with discerning eyes knew that Zhu Youlang had already lost his momentum and it was only a matter of time before he perished.

As Zhu Hongsan's group occupied the north, the Grand Canal, which had been broken for a long time, began to be renovated, and a large amount of grain was transported from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north. At the same time, a large number of sea ships in Tianjin were transporting corn, potatoes produced in Guangdong and rice produced in Annan and Luzon here to alleviate the food crisis in the north.

From the seventh year of the Tianqi period to the sixth year of Shenwu, in the twenty-five years, the population of northern provinces decreased by four-fifths. The most serious ones in Henan, Shaanxi and other places were not a single family for thousands of miles. However, the Chinese people are the most tolerant. As long as the world is peaceful, they will settle down immediately and start to reclaim land and farm and resume production.

Now the northern provinces under the control of Zhu Hongsan include Shandong, Northern Zhili, Henan, Shaanxi, and part of Shanxi. Because the Jianglan in Datong has not yet been pacified, half of the provinces are not under Zhu Hongsan's control. However, most of the north has been pacified, and the remaining Shanxi has returned to the Ming Dynasty after all.

If the land has been established, production will naturally resume. Fortunately, Zhu Hongsan has very shortages of other people, that is, there are no shortages of scholars who are officials. Although many Qing officials in the north were retained, there were still a large number of officials.

On November 6, the sixth year of Shenwu, Beijing was already very cold at this time, but because the canal transportation was reopened, the outer terminal outside Chaoyangmen, which is the Beijing shipping center, was still very lively.

Just at noon, an official boat was docked at the Guanjia Wharf outside Chaoyang Gate, and a young man in a white mink coat came out of the cabin. The young man was of medium figure, about 20 years old, wearing a pure white mink coat on the outside and a white silk robe on the inside, and his white skin was like Pan An.

This young man who burned money was Qian Yiai. He had been the magistrate of Guo in Nanjing for four years. Finally, he waited for the appointment of the court to come to Beijing to serve as the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture. Although he still could not escape the magistrate of Guo, the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture was not comparable to other magistrates.

In the Ming Dynasty, three sub-provincial government-level units were established, each of which was represented by the word Tian. One was Yingtian Prefecture. Needless to say, the place where Zhu Yuanzhang started his business and the first capital of the Ming Dynasty was naturally qualified. The second was Shuntian Prefecture, which was later Beijing. This place was Zhu Di's territory. The first thing Zhu Di did to rebel was to move the capital and move the political center to his own territory Beijing. The third Chengtian Prefecture was a bit far-fetched, that is, the hometown of Emperor Jiajing, Anlu.

After becoming emperor, Jiajing felt that he should also benefit the people of his hometown. In the tenth year of Jiajing, he upgraded his hometown Anlu to Chengtian Prefecture. However, the place in Anlu is incomparable to Nanjing and Beijing, so Chengtian Prefecture is far worse than the other two Tianzi Prefectures in politics and economy.

After Zhu Hongsan came to power, he naturally refused to admit that your hometown in Jiajing was Chengtian Prefecture. After occupying Beijing in September 19, Shenwu, he immediately issued an order to re-establish administrative divisions of each province. Originally, there were two Zhili provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and thirteen provinces. Zhu Hongsan divided the Ming Dynasty into Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Henan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Annan, and Luzon according to the divisions of later generations.

There are nine provinces, including Uszang and Duoergan two Xuanwei Offices. There are three central government direct administrations below, namely, Beijing Shuntian Prefecture, Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture, and Zhu Hongsan’s hometown, Wuchang Fengtian Prefecture. These three prefectures are all third-rank official positions, as big as the ministers of the central departments. In addition to these, there are five deputy provincial prefectures, namely Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Songjiang, Chengdu and Xi'an. The prefects are all third-rank official positions, as big as the governors. These five prefectures are managed by the central and local governments.

In addition to these, Zhu Hongsan also established a governor system in each province. The country is divided into ten governor districts: Zhili, Shandong, Liangjiang, Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou, Liaodong, and Luzon. Each governor manages one province to several provinces. Unlike the governor, the governor is mainly responsible for government affairs, the governor is in charge of local military, valley, money and grain, which is the real chief official of the border.

Of course, Zhu Hongsan, who knew that the gun was out of power, would naturally not hand over the main force to these governors. Zhu Hongsan reactivated the Great Governor's Office, which had already fallen in the late Ming Dynasty, and his main force was divided into five Great Governor's Office, stationed in all parts of the country. These five Great Governor's Office are Qian Yong, the Grand Governor of the Central Army, stationed in the capital; Zhao Guodong, the Grand Governor of the Front Army, stationed in Shenyang, Liaodong; Ma Kun, the Grand Governor of the Left Army, stationed in Xi'an, Shaanxi; Wang Jinbao, the Grand Governor of the Right Army, stationed in Guangzhou, Guangdong, and Zhou Yu, the Grand Governor of the Later Army, stationed in Chengdu, Sichuan. These five Great Governors have the strength of several divisions in their hands, and they are directly under the control of the emperor. The emperor can directly give orders to them with the Military Affairs Office, without having to pass through the cabinet.

After the division of the provinces was completed, the new officials began to take office one after another. Qian Yiai had a relationship with me and knew early that the court would mobilize a large number of officials, so Qian Yiai found the prince and prepared to go to the province to serve as a prefect, preparing for the future promotion to the central government.

Qian Yiai had all the preparations, so he waited for the appointment letter at home. He knew that he had been waiting for half a month and had no news. This made Qian Yiai very anxious. At first, he thought the prince would not do anything, but when he came to the door to ask, he realized that the prince had really done Qian Yiai seriously, but he was stopped by the cabinet chief Ma Mingyuan.

Qian Yiai didn't believe it at first when he heard the prince say this. Ma Mingyuan and he belonged to the same camp, and there was a reason to deal with his own people? But after asking the prince, he knew that Ma Mingyuan's opposition was very simple. Last year, the Xuanwu Lake Arsenal exploded, and Qian Yiai had an unshirkable responsibility as a local official. How could such a stained official be used? So he suppressed Qian Yiai's promotion and appointment letter.

Qian Yiai was so angry that he cursed Ma Mingyuan. It was true that Qian Yiai was in charge of Xuanwu Lake Development Zone, but after the arsenal was completed, it was handed over to the Equipment Department for management. Now, what happened is wrong? But Qian Yiai had no choice. Who told him that Ma Mingyuan was the chief assistant and was responsible for the cadres! Qian Yiai was so angry that he asked the prince for leave and went back to his hometown to take a sick person.

After returning to his hometown, Qian Yiai told his father Qian Qianyi about this matter. As a political veteran, Qian Qianyi knew what was going on.

Qian Qianyi looked at his angry son and asked, "Zigao, have you joined the prince's two sons?"

Qian Yiai remembered that when she heard her father say this, was it Ma Mingyuan who suppressed him for his grandson?

"Father, is it that Ma Mingyuan did this for his grandson?"

Qian Qianyi smiled and said, "Child, you are still young. Didn't you tell you before leaving? Don't express your opinion easily. Now, you have become Ma Mingyuan's mortal enemy. I'm afraid you will be the magistrate in your life!"

Qian Yiai stood up and cursed when she heard his father say this: "Ma Mingyuan, in order to support his bullshit new policy, our family was the first to stand up in Suzhou Prefecture to agree to measure the land! But he knew that Ma Mingyuan was capricious and framed his son in turn!"

Qian Qianyi looked at Qian Yiai who was furious and scolded: "Boy, you underestimate Ma Mingyuan too much! Our family's attitude is just icing on the cake for Ma Mingyuan. The new policy means the emperor. Ma Mingyuan is just a matter of doing things! But the second emperor's grandson Zhu Shengyu is different. He is the guarantee of Ma Mingyuan's future wealth. Do you think Ma Mingyuan can not deal with you?"

Qian Yiai said helplessly when she heard her father say this: "Father, my son has no choice! Xia Wanchun relies on being the chief clerk of the Crown Prince's Mansion to approach the second emperor's grandson first! His son is a foreign official, and he can often go to the East Palace to contact each other when he has time! It is too late for his son to find out, and Xia Wanchun has become the second prince's teacher. Even if his son goes to surrender, he will have to surrender to Xia Wanchun. His son can't swallow his breath!"

After Qian Yiai finished speaking, he looked outside the house, and there was no one, and then whispered: "Father, not to mention that my son saw that the Emperor liked Emperor Changsun Zhu Shengduo very much. This Northern Expedition brought him to his side to teach him personally. The Emperor Changsun's mother's house was killed by His Majesty. In the future, in order to fight for the throne, my son would do this for our Qian family!"

Qian Qianyi sighed and said, "It's too early! Now the emperor is in his prime, and there will definitely be many grandchildren in the future. Can the emperor support one if he likes one? In addition, the eldest grandson of the emperor is young, so I don't know what he will be like in the future!"

"Hehe, father, you don't know now! My son took advantage of the opportunity to visit his sister in the palace and had contact with Emperor Changsun many times, and had used means to gain his trust. Emperor Changsun had already said that when he was in the foresight next year, he would tell His Majesty the Emperor to let his son be his teacher!"

Qian Qianyi shook his head and said nothing. He personally taught Qian Yiai to grow up. He knew this son so well and was very smart, but he liked to use some conspiracies, just like Yang Xiu in the Three Kingdoms. He just liked to guess the intentions. In the end, he was not smart but was mistaken by his cleverness and was chopped off by Cao Cao.

Qian Qianyi was about to use Yang Xiu's example to teach his son, but when the butler came in outside the door, he shouted loudly: "Master, Second Young Master! I'm here with the imperial edict! It's for the Second Young Master!"
