One thousand two hundred and eighty-nine division of Sichuan and Shu

A few days later, Su Haisheng and Xu Tong went to perform other military missions separately.

In the entire northern and central Sichuan, where there were still places that the Ming army had not taken over, no matter whether the local officials of the Song Dynasty surrendered voluntarily or closed their own defense, the Ming army would attack and occupy it.

In mid-February of the eighth year of Hongwu, the northern and central areas of Sichuan and Shu had completed occupation, and more than two-thirds of the Sichuan and Shu were actually controlled by the Ming army, which basically reached the limit of control that the Song court had once controlled.

Not only that, because military control was imposed on some prefectures and banished areas where a few residents lived, the military deterrence of the Qilu Corps was greatly enhanced, so the Ming Dynasty's control over Sichuan and Shu was even stronger.

Under the deterrence of the Ming army, no trouble occurred in these detained areas. According to the latest news, while they were carrying out armed mobilization, they were also actively seeking the possibility of contact with the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that the Ming army's powerful deterrence has a good effect.

So Su Haisheng and Xu Tong began to plan to have preliminary contact and exchanges with the people of the minority groups in the custodian area. If possible, a preliminary custodian agreement will be reached as soon as possible, and then bilateral trade cooperation will be launched as soon as possible to lay the foundation for further cooperation.

The renovation of the area north of the Minjiang River has begun, and ethnic work south of the Minjiang River has many difficulties. What is needed is not only military strength, but also full policy strength and patience.

This work direction is what the future needs to be busy with the Ming government and the Revival Association of Sichuan and Sichuan areas.

The news followed the captured former Sichuan and Shu rulers to the north and arrived in Guanzhong, and then headed east from Guanzhong to Zhongdu in Yanyun.

Of course, the news was obtained faster. Before Zhao Buxi and others arrived in Zhongdu, Su Yonglin knew about the crushing victory of the Ming army in the Battle of Sichuan and Shu.

He was very happy and ordered the Privy Council to commend those who have made meritorious services, establish a merit book for those who have made meritorious services, and then give due rewards according to merit.

Then we began to arrange the administrative team of Sichuan and Shu to manage Sichuan and Shu.

Before this, Su Yonglin made some minor changes to the Sichuan-Shu area under the original planning of the Song Dynasty.

For example, the original military and supervisory levels were changed to states, and only two administrative systems of the same level were retained.

The Song Dynasty inherited the customs of the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and established a system of [military] in key military areas, and also established a system of [supervising] in places where smelting, minting, minting, making salt, and shedding horses.

The governments in the late Tang and Five Dynasties first did this to reflect the difference between the region and the normal state prefectures, mainly focusing on military or smelting, and the relevant configurations were slightly different.

However, as time goes by, the military and the supervisory authorities have gradually become administrative plans at the same level as the prefectures, and there are also the same counties below, which have become normal administrative systems and have lost their particularity.

So Su Yonglin simply changed all these institutions and changed them to the normal state-level constitution that was customary in the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a new unification of national administration.

Later, based on the discussion results at the State Council, Su Yonglin ordered the entire Sichuan-Shu area to be divided into three administrative regions, and the administrative system was established to carry out new rule.

The four roads of 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 Sichuan.

The former Kuizhou Road of the Southern Song Dynasty and its prefectures under its jurisdiction were classified into the establishment system, and Chongqing Prefecture and other prefectures under its jurisdiction were established.

In addition, the southern parts of the areas under Chengdu Fu Road, Tongchuan Fu Road, and Kuizhou Road, namely Qianzhou, Fuzhou, Nanpingzhou, Luzhou, Changningzhou, Xuzhou, Jiadingfu, and Lizhou are divided into separate Yunnan-Guizhou provinces.

This new setting is the result of discussions at the entire State Council.

Su Yonglin mainly considered the special geographical location and environment of the Sichuan region and the special situation of the Shu people supporting the imperial court against the Ming Dynasty. He realized the powerful local power and powerful centrifugal trend of the Sichuan region, and decided to separate the Sichuan region from the geographical location to cut off the possibility of people with ulterior motives to become independent in Shu.

The establishment of Chongqing Zhong directly governed the mountainous areas in the eastern part of the Shuzhong Plain is separated, and the external passage is led by Chongqing Zhongzhong and is not affiliated with Sichuan provinces. It can divide the Sichuan and Shu area from a military and political perspective.

In this way, as long as there is no internal problem, you can basically ensure long-term stability in the Sichuan-Shu area.

The establishment of Yunnan-Guizhou Province is based on practical considerations.

Today, the main control of the Ming Dynasty is the area north of the Minjiang River, and the vast areas south of the Minjiang River are still outside the actual control of the Ming Dynasty. It takes a lot of twists and turns to the army to truly penetrate it, let alone administrative forces.

The establishment of Yunnan-Guizhou Province is mainly to completely demarcate the entire restricted areas and uncontrolled areas. At this stage, the power is fiercely attacking Sichuan Province and Chongqing Central Central Administration, and to solve these two new administrative regions, digest them, and become the rear of further southward operations of Yunnan-Guizhou Province.

The Yunnan-Guizhou provinces temporarily exist as banned areas, but a provincial system must be established to demonstrate the orthodox central government's ownership of the Yunnan-Guizhou land.

You are a province, not a jailed area. Even if it is actually a jailed area, you are also a central province in name.

Take down the name of the great righteousness first, and then discuss the others.

Although Yunnan and Guizhou Province currently does not have the possibility of direct administration, the entire leadership team still needs to be built, and everything they should be there must be cultivated to train a group of officials who are truly familiar with the actual situation in the local area and reserve talents for the future comprehensive management.

So just like in the past, the Ministry of Personnel and the Central Organization Department of the Revival Association selected outstanding, capable and experienced veterans to form an administrative team with newly selected newcomers just in the exam, and rushed to Sichuan and Sichuan to their posts to shine and heat up.

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 team of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and went south to Yunnan and Guizhou.

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province, and Chongqing is the capital of Chongqing Central. Due to its special circumstances, the Yunnan-Guizhou Province temporarily set Zunyi County in Zunyi Prefecture as the capital of Yunnan-Guizhou Province, and all teams and troops went to the local area to gather.

This series of processes has been gone several times. The whole country of Ming Dynasty is familiar with it, not surprised, and not panic at all. He just follows the process and everything seems so orderly.

The administrative issues were handed over to the Ministry of Personnel of the Court and the Organization Department of the Revival Association. Su Yonglin led the Privy Council, the General Staff Headquarters and the Central Military Affairs Department to hold a military meeting, and conducted some research on the military issues in the Sichuan-Shu area, and finally determined the importance of the establishment of the Sichuan-Shu Corps.
