A few days later, Su Haisheng and Xu Tong went off to perform other military tasks separately.
As long as there are areas in northern and central Sichuan that the Ming army has not captured, regardless of whether the local officials of the Song Dynasty surrendered voluntarily or closed and defended themselves, the Ming army would attack and occupy them.
In mid-February of the eighth year of Hongwu's reign, the occupation of the northern and central areas of Sichuan and Shu had been completed. More than two-thirds of the Sichuan and Shu lands were actually controlled by the Ming army, which basically reached the control limit of the Song court.
Not only that, because of the military control of some states and Jisi areas where a small number of residents lived together, the military deterrence of the Qilu Corps was greatly enhanced, so the Ming Dynasty had even stronger control over Sichuan and Shu.
Under the force of the Ming army, there has been no trouble in these Jisu areas for the time being. According to the latest news, while they are carrying out armed mobilization, they are also actively seeking the possibility of contact with the Ming Dynasty.
It seems that the strong deterrence of the Ming army has a very good effect.
So Su Haisheng and Xu Tong began to plan to have preliminary contacts and exchanges with the minority groups in the Jisi area. If possible, reach a preliminary Jisi agreement as soon as possible, and then launch bilateral trade cooperation as soon as possible to lay the foundation for further cooperation. Foundation.
The transformation work in the area north of the Minjiang River has begun, but the ethnic work south of the Minjiang River is very difficult, requiring not only military power, but also full policy power and patience.
This direction of work is what the Ming Dynasty officials and the Renaissance organizations in the Sichuan-Sichuan region will need to be busy with in the future.
These messages followed the captured former Sichuan and Shu rulers heading north to Guanzhong, and then all the way east from Guanzhong to Zhongdu in the land of Yanyun.
Of course, the news was obtained relatively quickly. Before Zhao Buxi and others arrived in Zhongdu, Su Yonglin knew about the Ming army's crushing victory in the Sichuan-Shu Battle.
He was very happy and ordered the Privy Council to commend those who had merit, establish a merit book for those who had merit, and then give them due rewards based on their merit.
Then began to arrange the administrative team of Sichuan and Shu to go to govern Sichuan and Shu.
Prior to this, Su Yonglin made some small changes to the Sichuan-Sichuan area originally planned by the Song Dynasty.
For example, all the original military and supervisory-level organizational structures were changed to states, while only two administrative structures of the same level in the state capital were retained.
The Song Dynasty inherited the habits of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, setting up [military] level organizations in important military areas, and [supervisory level] organizations in places where metallurgy, money casting, salt production, and horse herding were established.
The governments of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties first did this to reflect the difference between the region and normal state capitals. They mainly focused on military or smelting, and the related configurations were also slightly different.
However, as time went by, the military and prisons gradually became administrative plans at the same level as the state capital. There were also counties below, and they became normal administrative structures, losing their particularity.
So Su Yonglin simply changed all these organizational systems and changed them to the normal state-level organizational system practiced in the Ming Dynasty, which could be regarded as a new unification of the national administration.
Later, based on the results of the discussions at the State Council, Su Yonglin ordered that the entire Sichuan-Sichuan region be divided into three administrative regions, and administrative structures were established to launch new rule.
In the original Southern Song Dynasty, the four roads of Lizhou East Road, Lizhou West Road, Chengdufu Road, and 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 Shu.
The original Southern Song Dynasty Kuizhou Road and its jurisdiction included Dazhou, Kaizhou, Daning Prefecture, Yunan Prefecture, Kuizhou, Shizhou, Zhongzhou, Liangshan Prefecture, Wanzhou, Fuzhou, Qianzhou, Nanping Prefecture, Chongqing Prefecture, etc. The state capital was incorporated into the administrative system and was under the direct jurisdiction of Chongqing Central Government.
In addition, the southern part of the area under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Fu Road, Tongchuan Fu Road, and Kuizhou Road, that is, all the areas south of the Qianzhou, Fuzhou, Nanping Prefecture, Luzhou, Changning Prefecture, Xuzhou, Jiading Prefecture, and Lizhou lines It was divided into separate provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou.
This new setting is the result of discussions throughout the State Council.
Su Yonglin mainly took into account the special geographical environment of the Sichuan-Shu region and the special situation of the Shu people supporting the imperial court to fight against the Ming Dynasty. He realized the strong local power and strong centrifugal trends in the Sichuan-Shu region, and decided to geographically divide the Sichuan-Shu region. Kai Lai, cut off the possibility of people with ulterior motives taking over Shu and establishing themselves on their own.
The mountainous areas in the eastern part of the Sichuan Plain are separated by the establishment of Chongqing Central Government. The external channels are under the direct control of Chongqing Central Government and are not under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province. It is possible to complete the division and rule of the Sichuan-Sichuan region militarily and politically.
In this way, as long as there are no internal problems, the long-term peace and order in Sichuan and Sichuan can be basically guaranteed.
The establishment of the Yunnan-Guizhou province was the result of practical considerations.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty mainly controls the area north of the Minjiang River. The vast area south of the Minjiang River is still outside the actual control of the Ming Dynasty. It will take a lot of twists and turns for the army to really penetrate into it, let alone administrative power.
The main purpose of establishing the Yunnan-Guizhou Province is to simply and completely separate the entire controlled areas and uncontrolled areas. At this stage, the power is fiercely attacking the Sichuan Province and the Chongqing Central Government to complete and digest these two new administrative regions, which will become a further southward operation of the Yunnan-Guizhou Province. the rear of the province.
The Yunnan-Guizhou Province temporarily exists as a Jisu region, but a provincial organization must be established to demonstrate the legitimacy of the central government's ownership of the Yunnan-Guizhou land.
You are a province, not a Jisu region. Even if you are actually a Jisu region, you are nominally a province of the central government.
Get the righteousness first, and then talk about other things.
Although Yunnan-Guizhou Province currently does not have the possibility of direct administration, the entire leadership team still needs to be established, including everything that should be provided, to cultivate a group of officials who are truly familiar with the actual local conditions and to reserve talents for future comprehensive management.
So it was still the same as in the past. The imperial staff and the Central Organization Department of the Renaissance Society selected outstanding, capable and experienced veterans to form an administrative team with the newcomers who had just been selected in the exam, and rushed to Sichuan and Sichuan to shine in their jobs.
Large numbers of novices rushed to their posts under the leadership of the old man, while another group of carefully selected elite cadres formed a Yunnan-Guizhou provincial team and headed south to Yunnan-Guizhou.
Chengdu is the administrative seat of Sichuan Province, Chongqing is the administrative seat directly under the Central Government of Chongqing, and Yunnan-Guizhou Province has temporarily designated Zunyi County in Zunyi Prefecture as the administrative seat of Yunnan-Guizhou Province due to its special circumstances. All teams and troops will go there Local collection.
This series of processes had been carried out several times, and everyone in the Ming Dynasty was familiar with it. They were not surprised or panicked at all. They just followed the process and everything seemed so orderly.
Administrative issues were left to the imperial staff and the Organization Department of the Renaissance Society. Su Yonglin led the Privy Council, General Staff Headquarters and the Central Military Affairs Department to hold a military meeting, conducted a study on the military issues in the Sichuan-Sichuan region, and finally determined the Sichuan-Sichuan Corps. importance of establishment.
