Chapter 1487: County
"You have thought about what's going on in the grassland, right?"
"Of course, I have made a decision." Zhang Han said: "There will be confirmed here in the Suspension City. From now on, I will delineate the ranch for the Mongolian tribes and use the county system! The counties I stipulate are iron boundaries. Whoever does not accept or fights me, and whoever wants to cause trouble will destroy the merchant army. Khan and Taiji are all useless."
Sun Jingting frowned and said, "This is a big move, it means depriving them of their autonomy."
"The power that should not have should of course be taken back." Zhang Han said decisively: "Just make an alliance ceremony, even if you surrender? There is such a cheap thing? Once the business roads are opened, they will become richer and more and more comfortable everywhere. If we do not determine our rule and promote it, will the shepherds think who will give them such a good life? Is it still the ones who are the Khan Taiji? Establish counties, determine their respective pastoral areas, and take back their power. The Hutchison Association builds military forts in the central area, sets up civil officials, sheriffs, establishes regional courts, and judges ranch disputes. Whether it is civil conflict or violation of criminal law, they will be judged by Han officials. Then taxes are collected, taxes are paid from top to bottom, and we get benefits from our hands. We do not want to be controlled, and we want to retain the prestige and power of Khan Taiji. Such a good thing is impossible."
"I can imagine Shuo Lei and Gunbu and others' expressions."
"They should thank me." Zhang Han was indeed quite confident when he said this, and he did not say anything randomly. These Mongolians surrendered to the Qing Dynasty but failed to eat good fruits. In addition to the Korqin people, all tribes were all taken over by the Qing Dynasty. The backward political ecology and rule were also continued wars, levies and reductions. From the late Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, the number of Mongolians did not increase much, and the entire grassland was still in a state of poverty and backwardness.
Under Hutchison's rule, the grasslands will prosper quickly, and the nobles may lose their power, but they have gained wealth and honor from generation to generation. Which one is important, and wise people will know how to choose.
Ordinary herders would be much better than under the Qing Dynasty. The cultivation of caravans and large amounts of farmland would bring prosperity. Officials and immigrants formed towns to provide Mongolians with vegetables and food. The herds they grazed would be purchased and digested as soon as possible, forming a virtuous cycle.
The prosperity of commerce has increased the reserves of gold and silver on the grassland, and has changed from concentrated in the hands of nobles to scattered in the hands of herders.
The wealth of herders will prompt them to have a stronger desire to buy, so that more Han caravans will come, and the Hutchison will build more gathering points and commercial supply points.
The entire grassland will develop for at most twenty years, including garrisons, civilians, officials, towns, cities, and the entire grassland. It may take twenty years to reach dozens of emerging cities from the north to the south of the desert in twenty years.
Of course, there are also restrictions on natural conditions. The number of people in northern Moon will never be large. In the south Moon, the Hetao area suitable for farming, the very mature Tumochuan area, and several Mongolian cities in the east, these places will become quite prosperous and prosperous.
This is what Hutchison and Zhang Han can give them. To get these, you have to pay a price.
"Their titles of Taiji and Khan can of course be retained, and the abandoned title will be discussed in the future." Zhang Han continued: "There is no room for negotiation to define the territory, divide the states and counties, and add our official positions to them."
"Will it be too difficult to set up counties on grasslands?"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Han explained to Sun Jingting: "During the Han and Tang Dynasties, there were many counties on the grassland. Take Qingcheng as an example. They were all the five Yuans of the Han Dynasty and the Shuofang of the Tang Dynasty. During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, there were prefectures and counties further north to Bingyang. As long as there were post stations and garrisons, wouldn't it be better to call prefectures and counties?"
"That's true." Sun Jingting and the Military Order Commander have also studied this topic. They have a complete set of plans for garrison, taxation, daily management, and military orders. They also communicated with the various departments of propaganda and military industry. Sun Jingting also presided over several political affairs meetings. Everyone has different attitudes towards setting up counties and counties. The main reason is that the territory is too large. One Taiji may be within a radius of hundreds of miles, reaching the territory of several counties in the mainland. A tribe, such as the Chechen Khan tribe, is larger than a province in Shanxi. How many counties should be set up to be?
Only then did Sun Jingting realize that the size of the territory is irrelevant. It is a random thing to use prefectures, counties, counties, counties, or garrisons of the Ming Dynasty. Can the Mongols still make a fortune?
"What name do you plan to use?"
"You take it and take a look."
Zhang Han handed a map to Sun Jingting, which was the territory of the entire Mongolian region, including of course Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia. What is unusual is that this is a map of the political district. Zhang Han made the inner and outer Mongolia into a whole, and did not divide the territory completely according to tribes. Instead, you have me and I have you. Most of the pastures have been redistributed, especially several tribes that have defeated the battle. The pastures were divided very well, and the Chahars were even more disrupted. Almost every newly allocated political district has Chahars.
"You learned this from my Ming Taizu, it's not new." Sun Jingting took a look and knew what Zhang Han meant.
Zhang Han praised: "So talking to smart people is to save effort and effort. From the Qin and Han dynasties to our Emperor Ming, it's the same thing."
The wealthy families from all over the country were gathered together and moved them to designated places. The foundation of the powerful was lifted up, and the new cities were enriched. The new places developed rapidly. It started from the relocation of a large number of remnants of the six countries to Guanzhong. Then the Ming Taizu established the Zhongdu and moved a large number of rich people to settle in Zhongdu.
This is a small matter, the key is the provincial system in the Yuan Dynasty, which is quite smart.
The two Huaihe River and Jiangnan, which have not been quite customary, are pinched together, and divide Jiangnan and Zhejiang, and there are many similar arrangements.
With different customs and habits within a province, there will be many conflicts within yourself, so don’t think about working together to fight against the Yuan Dynasty.
This is actually useless, but from the perspective of ordinary governance, it is necessary to break up the chaotic tribes and deliberately separate the original tribes in administrative divisions and insert different tribes together. Over time, the tribes will split after separation, but it is difficult to get along with other tribes. Invisibly, the original large tribes will become smaller, and it will definitely be much easier to manage daily.
As long as Hutchison is not in chaos, there will be no big difference between the grassland and the mainland in a hundred years.
It only takes decades to change clothing, unify the words and language until the name is changed and the Chinese name is completely Chinese.
Once the county is established, the car is the same track, and the book is the same. This is a natural thing, and it will not be too difficult to do.
"Did I do what I communicate with the Mongolians?" Sun Jingting also smiled bitterly as he looked at the administrative division map.
"Don't be anxious, this matter must be done with some cleverness." Zhang Han pondered: "Tomorrow I will invite Gunbu and Dorbu and others. If you don't talk about the serious matter, you will spread the wind the next day, and they will definitely be in a hurry to ask for a meeting. I will find a reason to avoid it and wait until the news of Chahar's victory is transmitted back."
Sun Jingting smiled bitterly and said, "Are you so sure you will win?"
Zhang Han rolled his eyes and said, "So what do you think?"
Sun Jingting smiled without saying a word and took away the zoning map.
...
The next day, Zhang Han summoned Gunbu and other people from the north of the Mobei, including Taiji from Saiyin Nuoyan tribe, and Ketuhan also attended the banquet.
The various dishes made by pure Han chefs were also given to the Mongolian nobles who only knew how to boil mutton in clear water. Although northern Shanxi and even Shanxi could be called a food desert, Shanxi cuisine was really unpleasant. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, it was the time when Shandong cuisine became popular. Later, the salt merchants emerged, and Huaiyang cuisine came from the top. Palace cuisine was also a variant of the combination of Shandong cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China that Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and other major cuisines were spread.
Even so, these Mongolians were full of oil in their mouths. I have to say that these guys have a good appetite. These nobles really grew up eating beef and mutton. They have a good physical fitness. At the age of age, they have no worse appetite than the young men of the Han family. They are usually very strong in middle age and have a strong force when walking. The aging of these people is quite sudden and rapid, as if all their energy will be removed overnight.
Han people and doctors are calm and elegant. Once the Mongolians get old, they look decayed. Even riding horses becomes difficult. For the Mongolians, riding horses is as natural as the Han people drink water. If they can't even ride horses, they will be regarded as life will soon.
When the banquet dispersed, it took a lot of money to start the horse.
Many Mongolian nobles spontaneously came to support the horses for Lao Taiji and looked like a guard.
Most of the five tribes of Bahrain, Onniut, Sunit, and Neikhalkha have collapsed, but there are still quite a few remnants, and the prestige of fried flowers in the eyes of these people is unparalleled.
Otherwise, when the Jurchens forced them to come to the door, everyone chose to surrender, and Lin Danhan refused to send troops, how could the fried flowers gathered up tens of thousands of troops and fought a very vivid battle with the Jurchens?
It can be said that this old man is worthy of his powerful image he has been running for over the past 40 years. Although he is a demon, robber, and a villain who does everything he does, he is a hero, hero, and a representative figure among the nobles for the Mongols.
This is very contradictory. Originally, the fried flower should have been arrested by Hutchison and Ming Zhengdian was punished. Killing him would make many Han people in Liao Town feel happy. However, the fried flower came back on its own initiative, and Hutchison could not kill him. Besides, the fried flower was the people of Liaodong, and the people in Xuanda did not hate him so much.
If Hutchison started in Liaodong, it would be a waste of money to spend ten lives.
This old Mongolian man's hair was white. At the age of 60, if he was a high-ranking Han official who was well maintained, he might still call the wind and rain in the cabinet. At the very least, he could be a fellow villager and his mental and physical strength would not be too poor.
The fried flowers are almost unable to straighten their waists, and the movement of getting on the horse is quite difficult. However, there is no sedan chair in the surrender city. Zhang Han never sits in the sedan chair, but he always rides a horse and can also sit on a carriage. The sedan chair is used to control people as a cattle and horse. Zhang Han will never allow people to carry sedan chairs under his rule.
