Chapter 636: The World Situation

Li Zijing was in Ganzi and was supported by the public. According to Li Zicheng's will, he no longer called himself emperor but changed his name to King Kang.

The reason why Dashun was no longer used was that Li Zicheng accepted the advice of Song Xiance and others in response to the prophecy "stop when things go smoothly" (a prophecy circulated by Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty), so the country was named Dashun.

Now that he has settled in the Kangba area and Qinghai, he has stopped thinking about counterattack, so he can only think about the continuation of wealth and honor, and changing his name to King Kang will naturally make Ming Dynasty feel at ease.

The capital of Ganzi is recognized by everyone.

Garze is a far cry from that ghost place in Qinghai. You can't even drink tea. At least Garze can wear commoners and drink tea.

Therefore, Ganzi was renamed Shunjing, expanded greatly, learned from the system of the Ming Dynasty, set up a cabinet, six ministries, and a five-army governor's office, and rewarded the generals with titles and money, instead of following the messy system of Dashun.

As for the year name, Yongchang is still used, so the year is Yongchang 7th year.

In order to expand the sphere of influence and recruit more people, the small court of Shunting continued to move southward and westward toward the Qamdo area, hoping to completely occupy the Kham area.

The situation in the world affects the whole body.

After the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it threatened the Khalkha Mongols and prompted the Khalkha Mongols to develop westward, threatening the Heshuote tribe on the South Tianshan Road.

Being attacked by Tsarist Russia and the Khalkha Mongols, Gushi Khan was forced to go south to find a way out in the Qinghai-Tibet region, and established the Khoshot Khanate across Qinghai-Tibet.

It was precisely because Heshuote moved south that the Junggar tribe got a chance to breathe, cultivated in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, and gradually grew stronger.

Now as the situation develops, Li Zicheng is writing his own achievements in the Qinghai-Tibet region and establishing his own small dynasty.

As for Sun Kewang, he lingered in Dali Prefecture for a few days, then led his army southward and disappeared.

How can the whole Yunnan Province care about this? They couldn't wait to announce the recovery of Yunnan.

As of the fourth year of Shaowu, except for the Liaodong area, the territory of Hongwu had been completely restored.

There was even some transcendence. After all, Uzang surrendered and officially became a vassal, and Xiaoliuqiu established the Taiwan Prefecture.

Eight northern provinces: Gansu Province, Shaanxi Province, Suiyuan Province, Ningxia Province, Shanxi Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, and Shandong Province.

Twelve provinces in the south: Sichuan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province, Guizhou Province, Yunnan Province, Jiangxi Province, Anhui Province, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, Guangdong Province, and Guangxi Province.

Including Shuntian Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Xuanda and Liaoxi Governor-General Region, there are a total of 24 provincial administrative units.

However, it can also be seen from this that the rise of the south is an irreversible trend. Even if Liaoxi and Xuanda Governorate are included, the number of provinces is still at a disadvantage.

As soon as Yunnan was restored, Sichuan sent 300,000 silver yuan to supplement its finances, but who knew that it was returned.

Fan Yiheng, who was transferred to the governor of Yunnan, said proudly: "Although Yunnan has experienced wars for a long time, its treasury is full and it is not limited to this little money."

Magan, the governor of Sichuan, was shocked when he heard this. I am from Yunnan. How could I not know the situation in Yunnan?

Except for some land in Yunnan Prefecture, the rest of the land in that place cannot make ends meet. It has been in chaos for so many years, and you are still trying to make yourself fat?

Three letters were sent in a row, and the words were full of persuasion to him, not to let the people of Yunnan Province suffer for the sake of face.

Fan Yiheng smiled bitterly and could only explain.

When I came to Kunming, although the treasury was more than half empty, there were still more than 300,000 shi of grain and more than 200,000 taels of copper coins and silver left, which was enough to last until the autumn harvest.

Furthermore, it’s so easy to get money and food from Sichuan. Don’t you have to pay it back in the end?

Central funding and local aid are two different things.

If Yunnan does not return it, then the governor of Ma Gan will be scolded by Sichuan people for decades. This kind of thing is too offensive, so it is better not to borrow it.

However, Fan Yiheng did not hesitate. Knowing that Sichuan had been at peace for many years, he discussed the purchase and sale of cattle and iron tools.

Sun Kewang disbanded the guards, enslaved these people and reclaimed hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland, and took over the former guard land, resulting in more than two million acres of official land.

Fifty percent of the land in Yunnan Prefecture became official land.

After Fan Yiheng took office, he asked the imperial court for instructions. Except for setting aside 100,000 acres of official land as public land, the rest were all allocated to the common people with small amounts of land or landless people.

Including the children of the Western Army and former military households.

At this time, tens of thousands of Western troops in Da'an, Yunnan Prefecture, beamed with joy and became supporters of the imperial court.

"Although Sun Kewang was diligent in managing the fields, he was too stingy and never distributed a single acre to the soldiers."

Fan Yiheng was filled with emotion when he saw these soldiers disarming and returning to their fields.

On the side, Li Dingguo, the commander-in-chief of Yunnan, said softly: "Sun Kewang doesn't want these troops to be distracted by the fields, and the income from farming is not as good as military pay."

"With land, these soldiers will lose their fighting spirit and will only settle for enjoyment and be afraid of fighting."

"That's the truth."

Fan Yiheng was stunned and suddenly smiled: "With fifteen thousand people, can we fight?"

Zhu Meng was based in Kunming. After surrendering to the Yunnan Prefecture, he stopped taking care of Yunnan affairs and focused his main energy on rectifying the army.

As the commander-in-chief of Yunnan, Li Dingguo's main responsibility is to pacify Yunnan, and the remaining state capitals and chieftains will naturally be conquered by him.

Fan Yiheng was quite dissatisfied with Yunnan Province, which had been shrinking and inactive in the past. This was a far cry from its heyday.

Therefore, he wanted Li Dingguo to frighten the barbarians and let them enter Yunnan and present them with printed books.

"An order came from the Lifan Yuan, requiring us to declare to the various Xuanwei Departments and pay tribute to the capital. The regulations of the Lifan must be followed. It is inevitable to send troops southward."

Fan Yiheng looked into the distance and sighed: "If the Xuanwei Division is less than the age of Taizu, what shame will it bring to us?"

"This..." Li Dingguo raised his head and asked in confusion: "Who is the Lifan Yuan? It can actually control our Yunnan?"

"One of the seven departments of the imperial court, all internal vassals are controlled by it, such as the chieftains of the internal provinces, and the external vassals such as Korea. The power is relatively small, but after all, it is one of the seven departments and can be included in the cabinet."

There was a trace of envy in Fan Yiheng's eyes. It only took five years for Du Yinxi to climb from the prefecture to a minister. Who could believe this?

Who allowed Jane to stay in the emperor's heart?

After taking a look at Li Dingguo, Fan Yiheng sighed and said: "General Li, I think it won't take a few days before the imperial decree to confer you the title of Marquis will arrive, and you will be powerful by then."

"You deserve it!" Li Dingguo's eyes were far-reaching, and a few wisps of blush appeared on his cheeks. He was suddenly promoted to a noble title after only a few battles, which was very embarrassing.

"Then go beat those disobedient toasts."

Fan Yiheng said coldly: "In the past few decades, the power of the imperial court has been declining day by day. Some chieftains have violated the law, but the criminal records are still there!"

"We just want to clear up the old scores, change the situation and add a few more prefectures and counties."
