When the dragon boat arrived in Yangzhou, the imperial court also discussed the outcome of the Qinghai area.
That is, the Xining Guards were abolished and Xining Prefecture was built, which was subordinate to Gansu Province.
It would be fine if it was in other places, but Xining is the Hehuang Valley, which is enough to feed millions of people. It can be said that this is the only place in the huge Qinghai area that is suitable for farming.
Therefore, the cabinet decided to move people from northern Shaanxi and Sichuan, about 100,000 people, to Xining Prefecture to consolidate the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, since Li Zicheng captured the Tumote Division and controlled at least tens of thousands of Tatars, Xining must be used as a bridgehead and food base to isolate the war from Shaanxi.
This is a long-term project, and it is natural for the court to be fully prepared.
As for the Monan area, the Monan Xingdu Division was newly established.
That's right, the Xingdu Division under the Wei system was implemented, integrating military and political affairs.
Although it is said that starting from the first year of Shaowu, the nationwide process of dismantling military posts and transforming them into counties began. A large number of military posts were abolished and organized into prefectures and counties.
The imperial court obtained a large amount of land and population, and converted military households into civilian households, getting rid of heavy pressure. The only people who suffered were the gentry who annexed the land.
This can only be done in the mainland, but in border areas, according to Zhu Yixi's observation, the guard system is more suitable than the state and county system.
For example, Guizhou was still a southwestern barbarian during the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, but it was actually established as a province in the Ming Dynasty, and the local support relied on the pioneering guard corps.
Because of the strong Wei system in provinces, including Yunnan, Guizhou, and Gansu, the integration of these lands into the Central Plains was only the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, but it was the Ming Dynasty that laid the foundation.
Even during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in the prosperous Kaiyuan period, Nanzhao was very successful and could hardly be conquered or even defeated.
Therefore, Zhu Yixi, who has the perspective of later generations, believes that the integration of soldiers and farmers in the Wei Institute is actually the Chinese version of the pioneering and enterprising movement, the first generation of western development.
The establishment of Monanxingdusi, the establishment of garrison and city, and the relocation of military households. When the time is right, households can naturally be organized into provinces.
"Then the Monanxing Capital Division is under the jurisdiction of the General Army of Datong?"
Yan Chongxin looked at the emperor with a smile on his face. Although he didn't know what was wrong, he still smiled with him.
"Datong and Xuan Mansion are both under the jurisdiction of Governor Xuanda. How can we control Monan again?"
Zhang Shenyan, who was standing beside him, hurriedly said: "As I see it, according to the common practice of the country and dynasty, we can use the capital commander to govern it."
"The military household system still exists in Monan, but where are the imperial envoys still in command? Only the general soldier can be appointed."
Zhao Shu shook his head and said no in one word.
In essence, the abolition of the garrison system has become a fact when the commander-in-chief replaces the capital commander. The garrison without power can only be manipulated by the court.
"General Soldier of Monan?"
Zhu Yixi muttered: "It always sounds a little awkward."
"That's all, let's appoint a governor!"
When the military and government are integrated, literati are more reliable, and Zhu Yixi has to admit this fact.
"Your Majesty, once the Monan Line was established, the Great Wall in the north of Shanxi Province has been moved northward for at least several hundred miles."
After hearing that the emperor finally made a decision, Zhao Shu cooperated and said: "But we built a fortified city on the side of Yinshan Mountain. The current Guihua City is a bit dilapidated after all."
"Yinshan!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yixi immediately became energetic: "Thanks to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these Mongols were beaten to the point where they couldn't find their way around, and we were able to take advantage of them."
"However, the Monan region is different. Farmers and pastoralists work together here, and the governance of the court cannot rely entirely on the Han people. The Mongols also have to help."
As he said that, he pointed to the simple river lines in the Monan area and the Yinshan Mountain, and said directly:
"If it is less than 100 accounts, or less than 300 accounts, one head will be a hundred households; if it is more than 300 accounts, but less than 500, the head will be a deputy 1000 households, and if it is between 500 accounts and 800 accounts, it will be a 1000 households." household."
"What if it's more than 800 tents?"
Yan Chongxin on the side asked a rather idiotic question.
Zhang Shenyan said coldly: "Then let them turn into eight hundred tents. If they don't obey, the army will naturally deal with them."
"Now that the Mongols are scattered, we still have to focus on Huairou."
Zhao Shu shook his head, dissatisfied with Zhang Shenyan's violent attitude, and said directly to the emperor: "Maybe split it up among his sons, or make it smaller. It's better to be subtle than to be tough."
"That's right, Huairou is the main one."
Cutting flesh with a soft knife is the most deadly.
In any case, in terms of the system of grassland management, the Manchu Qing's methods were amazing.
Zhu Yixi quickly learned from each other's strong points to offset his weaknesses, and recently came up with a grassland plan with Ming characteristics:
"In the system, the grasslands are divided into small tribes based on hundreds of households, one thousand households, and one thousand households. The largest tribe is not allowed to exceed 800 households."
"Hundreds or thousands of households belong to each other, and they must be coordinated and coordinated by the Governor of Monan."
"On the pasture, the locations are strictly defined and no one is allowed to cross them easily. Anyone who violates them will be killed."
"Religiously, follow the Yellow Sect."
At this point, Emperor Shaowu suddenly thought that Uszang had surrendered to him, and he couldn't help but said: "In my name, the Ministry of Rites has invited a hundred masters from Uszang to come over. I want them to go to Monan to promote Buddhism."
"Each hundred-household residence must build a temple with five lamas, while the temple in a thousand-household residence must be larger and require twenty lamas, all of whom must be supported by it."
Thoughts are the most terrifying, and once their thoughts are restrained, the Mongols will no longer be feared.
Zhu Yixi thought the policy of reducing Ding implemented by the Manchu Qing towards the Mongols was too cruel, so he made some improvements.
After all, Tsarist Russia has begun to expand eastward. It is most suitable to incorporate the Mongols into the ruling class and use their strength to stabilize the border.
Between the tall-nosed and eagle-eyed Tsarist Russia and the rich and powerful Ming Dynasty, the Mongols knew how to choose.
Therefore, unlike the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which required that except for one son to inherit the family property, the rest of the sons must become monks, Emperor Shaowu required the remaining sons to be included in the army and become a member of the army.
This has several advantages. First of all, it naturally weakens the power of the Mongols and stabilizes their rule.
In addition, when these young Mongolians entered the Ming army, they were naturally taught to be Chinese, and they helped the Ming Dynasty conquer the east and west, and strengthened the Ming army's cavalry.
"Trumpet Temple?"
When Zhao Shu and others heard this, they all frowned and looked puzzled:
"Your Majesty, do you want to worship Buddha?"
"Your Majesty, Buddhism cannot save the Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Shenyan said solemnly.
"I understand!" Zhu Yixi rubbed her temples and said, "Of course the temple cannot save the Ming Dynasty, but it can appease the Mongols."
"Then we can't just build temples."
Zhang Shenyan shook his head and said solemnly: "You can also establish a school to teach the teachings of these Mongolian saints."
"After learning the teachings of saints, these Mongolians will inevitably forget about barbaric killings and worship literature wholeheartedly."
"That's okay." Zhu Yixi compromised: "Every thousand households must establish a school."
