After solving the problem of the cabinet and the six ministries, the next thing is to streamline the officials in various places, and clearly divide the responsibilities, now there are too many officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there are governors and governors in a province, all of whom command the envoys, the political envoys, and so on.

The governor and the governor as the feudal officials, shepherd the people, and hold the power of life and death, but the governor and the governor were not established in the early Ming Dynasty, and in the Yongle period, these two official positions appeared due to the needs of the situation.

After the founding of Taizu, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was set up to take charge of the military of the world (similar to the current major war zones), and the Zhongshu Province was set up to manage the administrative work, and the six divisions were divided into three divisions, and after the thirteenth year of Hongwu, three divisions were set up in the local area (all command the envoy division, the political envoy division, and the inspection envoy division) to manage the local military, administrative and criminal punishment respectively, and the three divisions were independent under the direct command of the emperor.

Later, the decline of the empire's national strength, the turbulent situation and the increasing number of military operations, military operations in a certain area, such as peasant uprisings or mass gatherings to make trouble, etc., are commanding the three officials of the embassy department, the political envoy department, and the inspection envoy department, often disagree, and everyone goes their own way, so they can't coordinate and deal with local affairs well, and there is no way to send an official to coordinate and deal with it, a bit like the meaning of our current investigation team leader, this official is the governor, and the governor is generally served by the military department. The official position is higher than the number one leader of the three divisions, and the governor controls all local officials, and his power is equivalent to that of the Qincha.

After the appointment of the governor began to inspect the place, and after the emergency matters were dealt with, he generally returned to Beijing to restore his life, the governor was a temporary minister at that time, he was a Beijing official, and the task was to save the emergency everywhere, and then there were too many similar things in the local area, and the governor was short for a few months, and the long was a year or two, and then the imperial court simply set up a permanent governor, and then became a rule, before the three divisions were the largest local officials, and now the three divisions have added a governor, and with the decline of national strength, wars are becoming more and more frequent. Even if the imperial court sent governors, many problems remained unresolved.

Because the governor can only manage the administrative and military of one place, for example, the governor of Zhejiang can not manage the affairs of Fujian, and when encountering cross-regional military operations, the governors of the two provinces have different opinions, and they go back and forth, such as such things as the invasion of the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian by the Japanese invaders, and so on, shirk each other's responsibilities, and the court was forced to have no way, so a bigger official than the governor appeared, that is, the governor, and the governor's rank was one level higher than the governor.

After having a governor, the governor is the second, and the status of the three divisions is even lower, and there is basically no power. So after having the governor, it seems that the problem is solved, but still no, at first like the local war of the Japanese raiding the coast, the governor's authority is almost enough, in the later period, the peasant uprisings continue to break out in various places, the Liaodong war is in full swing, involving five or six provinces, then there are often several governors, no one can lead whom, the court then sent a higher level of officials to unify and coordinate, this is the common supervisor in the late Ming Dynasty, there are generally university scholars to serve, the governor is under the supervision of the governor.

On the one hand, the imperial court sent governors and superintendents to go out to suppress the rebellion, and on the other hand, they were not at ease with these people, so they sent eunuchs to supervise, called the prison army. The supervising army could report directly to the emperor, and the power was very great, and it was completely possible to remove the military power of the governor and the superintendent at the necessary time, so not only the local three divisions had to listen to the words of the supervising army, but also the governor and the governor had to listen to him, thus forming a situation in which the eunuchs were in charge from the central to the local.

Originally, after Chongzhen came to power, he overthrew Wei Zhongxian and eliminated the eunuchs, which made the power of the prison army in various places very declining, without the suppression of these eunuchs, after the Donglin Party gained a firm foothold, Chongzhen gradually lost control of his empire, and finally caused his orders to become a piece of waste paper when he could not get out of the capital.

This also hopes that Chongzhen himself, since ancient times, has been a son of heaven and a courtier, Wei Zhongxian is unreliable, you can completely replace your own people to take over the East Factory, but Chongzhen was stupid by that group of Confucian education, too naïve, he would actually believe that group of scholars, and directly wiped out the eunuch party, but Chongzhen didn't think that you didn't have this group of lackeys behind you to help you bluff, in the face of that group of Donglin Party, up to the six cabinets, down to the local officials, they are all people's Donglin Party themselves, what do you a bare-bones emperor do to fight with others.

It's the time when Chongzhen had no money, he was forced to put down the dignity of the emperor, put down his face, and opened his mouth to ask the ministers for donations, but what was the result, in addition to making the group of courtiers laugh, did he donate money?

If the eunuchs are still there, and the eunuchs still hold heavy power, under the threat of the eunuchs, the old immortal of the Donglin Party dares not to give money, as for mixing to the point of losing the country.

The right thing can't be put down when it's in your hands, not long after Chongzhen came to this world, he confirmed one thing, governing the country depends on scholars, and controlling the country can only rely on that group of eunuchs.

Chongzhen stood quietly on the altar like this, looking at the ministers kneeling below, looking up at the sky, the originally clear sky, slowly began to be cloudy, a dense light rain began to fall, slowly the rain became heavier and heavier, and the little eunuch on one side immediately moved the canopy to block the rain for Chongzhen.

"Die, I don't need it" Chongzhen pushed away the eunuch who was holding the canopy for himself, and let the heavy rain fall on him, Chongzhen had already anticipated the consequences of his doing, those implicated big landlords, families, although they did not dare to confront themselves openly, but secretly supported some rebellious peasant armies, and put some pressure on themselves in the future.
