Chapter 361 Daming's Golden Letter Red Card
The changes in the Ming Empire began a few years ago.
The most obvious one is not necessarily the officials, but also the common people, even orphans like May and Zhao Dabao.
There is no Shaoyingyuan, and they don’t know what will happen? And in Shaoyingyuan, she (they) studies, she (they) plays, and she (they) has no worries about food and clothing.
Moreover, she (they) knew that the Shaoyingyuan was opened by the emperor for money, and she (they) was extremely lucky to be able to enjoy such treatment.
She (they) also know that now every province has Shaoyingyuan, which was jointly funded by the Royal and several major chambers of commerce, providing shelter to countless orphans and allowing them to learn and grow without being hungry and cold.
Part of the funds for the daily operation of Shaoyingyuan were from the treasury provided by the emperor, part of which was from the chamber of commerce, and also donated by the rich, gentry, merchants, and even ordinary people in society.
But these orphans who were protected did not know the emperor's eager expectations for them. What they learned was designated by the emperor; when they grew up, they would become various talents that the emperor expected.
More importantly, their thoughts will take a big step forward.
It is certainly not enough to be an orphan adopted by Shaoyingyuan. The emperor is gradually promoting it, using tax reductions and tilting investment in education to create more talents that meet his requirements.
If one generation fails, two generations will be born. The emperor believes that he can achieve this goal. Because he is also very young, he should be able to last until that time with twenty years.
Alas! Forget it, Zhao Dabao may be right to have Zhao Dabao’s idea. What’s more valuable is Zhao Dabao’s persistence.
May sighed very well, "Long Live, don't interfere, why do she care about so much?"
My thoughts were resolved, and May's eyes stared at the candied fruit on the table again, and he smiled with a smile on his lips.
Happiness is that simple. Although she is far more intelligent than ordinary people, she is still a child after all.
All the children of the Ming Dynasty will no longer have the war and pain in history. Although they will also have their confusion and difficulties in the future, that is their inevitable growth experience in life.
……………………………………………….
Ping Liao not only renewed the life of the Ming Empire and made the subjects happy, but also moved away a big stone in the emperor's heart. Although it was not just a piece in his heart.
And this New Year is also the most relaxed and comfortable thing for the emperor.
In the future, he no longer had to devote himself to it. While eliminating the external enemies, the internal sanctions never stopped. It is precisely the internal promotion and elimination of disadvantages that he has the confidence and strength to fight Liaodong with the strength of the whole country.
Now, the planning for the future can also be implemented. As for the rebellion in the southwest, as long as he says, the family will surrender, but he doesn't want it.
Not only did he not accept An's surrender, the emperor was not prepared to let go of the chieftains who participated in the rebellion. He was not stingy with money, food and food, but he must eliminate future troubles.
Shuixi will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty; the same is true for Usa. And...
The emperor did not want to kill the water west and flow into a river, but could not tolerate An's status as a chieftain after surrendering.
To put it bluntly, the emperor's target was the An clan, not the military and civilians in Shuixi. He uprooted the An clan and moved the rebels to Mekong, Dongfan, Hainan...
But they are still the people of the Ming Dynasty, and will live more freely and richer. Apart from those chieftains who have been rewarded for nothing, their losses were the greatest in this anti-rebellion war.
Losing the land left by our ancestors and the people who can be enslaved for generations, even their lives depended on the emperor's attitude.
This is the real shock, the confidence that it brought to the emperor after pacifying Liao. The sharp weapons and equipment and the improvement of combat power have become different from the past.
Although it is not the time to implement large-scale reform of land and return to the flow, the strategy of weakening the toast has begun to be implemented.
To put it more accurately, it is to weaken the strength of domestic chieftains but enhance their existence abroad.
For example, after quelling the rebellion, elite soldiers and generals entered Yunnan to rectify the officialdom in Yunnan, and were also prepared to start a war with Myanmar's dynasty.
The Ming army was not the only force in the war. Joining forces from various chieftains to compete for land and resources abroad was a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
This is similar to setting up a toast in Mekong Province, which allows domestic toasts to branch and leaves, invisibly weakening their power.
The emperor understands the truth that forces are divided and dispersed, and the gathering of forces means strong. Others may not be clear about this principle. If you think clearly, how many people can resist temptation and only stay on a fixed acre of three-point land?
The possible rebellion force is directed outward to disperse it. Once a strong change of soil is carried out, the resistance will be greatly reduced, and one by one can be defeated and divided.
The emperor put away the information about Yunnan, suppressed his anxiety, and thought for a while, and ordered the palace man Xuan Wang Sanshan to come to the palace to meet him tomorrow.
The Mu family is in Kunming, while the Yunnan governor is in Chuxiong. If he is not in a city, there will be fewer conflicts.
Although the emperor wanted to wait until the She'an Rebellion was quelled before sending a large army to Yunnan, bringing the military and political power of Yunnan to the court, ending the history of the Mujiashi Town of Yunnan.
But the current governor of Yunnan is not satisfactory, and Wang Sanshan should be the more suitable candidate, but he is older.
In the emperor's mind, the best candidate was Fu Zonglong, who was commanding the rebellion to put down. However, the rebellion was about to end, and he did not want to fail, so he had to settle for the second best.
The emperor also wrote a secret decree and sent someone to see him off. He ordered Fu Zonglong to select 5,000 elite soldiers and generals to escort Wang Sanshan into Yunnan. These five,000 elite soldiers were both escorts and the teaching team for reorganizing the army of Yunnan Province.
There are many chieftains in the southwest, while there are many chieftains in Yunnan, with great power and more special circumstances.
"Everyone living in the area where Baiyi lives is set up," until the Zhengtong period, the imperial court re-adjusted and relocated the southwestern border of Yunnan and revised the "Three Propagandas and Six Comforts".
The three Xuanzhi Nandian Xuanfu Department, Ganya Xuanfu Department, Longchuan Xuanfu Department, Liufu Department, Myanmar Xuanfu Department, Mubang Xuanfu Department, Eight Hundred Days, Mengyang Xuanfu Department, Lao Xuanfu Department.
In addition to the domestic part, the scope of the Three Propagandas and Six Comforts also includes today's Myanmar, northern Thailand and central Laos, all of which are "those who can be dispatched in central Yunnan."
Ten years after Jiajing, Mangruiti established the Dongyu Dynasty. As the national strength of the Ming Dynasty declined, the Dongyu Dynasty became stronger and stronger. The Ming Dynasty's three Xuan and Liuwei chieftains all joined the Dongyu Dynasty.
After finishing his official duties, the emperor pondered for a while, took out the red cards with gold characters from the drawer of the imperial book case, looked at them, stroked them, and narrowed their eyes slightly.
The golden red card was implemented in the middle and early Ming Dynasty. The system of trust and golden red card was implemented in the political regions outside Yunnan, and played a very important and positive role in managing the border, protecting the country and defending the border, mediating and handling internal conflicts within the organization.
However, the implementation of this system was gradually relaxed in the late Ming Dynasty, and even basically gave up the implementation of the system of letters and golden characters and red cards in the southwest border.
In the first year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty awarded the golden red cards and the Kanhe Xinfu to the outside political districts in Yunnan for the last time. There was no record of awarding the golden red cards and the Xinfu, which was equivalent to the Ming Dynasty rulers abandoning this border management system.
Myanmar has made progress step by step, and even learned the Ming Dynasty's golden-word and red card system, sent envoys to lend a helping hand to help the weak foreign political chieftains, resulting in the weak foreign political districts falling to Myanmar one after another without the support of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor's eyes flashed with chills, and he was determined to regain this system and recreate the majesty of the Ming Dynasty when its power was strong.
