The imperial court's administration of Tibet was accomplished through the ministers stationed in Tibet. The minister stationed in Tibet has the final say on all important affairs in Tibet, but he does not directly manage Tibetan politics.

This is a kind of low-level governance, and any problems and contradictions that have arisen in Tibet must accumulate until they are about to erupt, or even after the outbreak has occurred, before they can be discovered and resolved. Even if the problem is finally solved, the damage has already been done, and the cost is too heavy.

In addition, if there is a centrifugal force on the imperial court in Tibet, it cannot be discovered in time, and it is necessary to take precautions and prepare for it.

To reform the Tibetan bureaucratic system, Guan Zhuofan set two principles: first, change indirect governance to indirect governance and direct governance at the same time; Second, weaken the influence of the Huangjiao monastic group in the government.

Let's start with the first one.

Imitate the six ministries of the imperial court and reform the Kasha government. The four Kalun increased to six Kalun, just like the six ministry officials, two positive and four deputies, among them, one positive and two deputy are Tibetans, Zheng Kalun is a monk Kalun, and the deputy Kalun is a lay Kalun; The other two deputies, either Han or Manchu, were appointed by the imperial court. This situation is called "half dynasty and half hidden", and it is also like the Manchu and Han officials of the six departments.

As soon as the imperial court stretched out its hand, it took away half of the administrative power of the Kaxia government, and the power of the Tibetans to "self-govern" was naturally greatly reduced. However, the Sangha Kalun became the Righteous Kalun, and it seems to have consolidated the power of the monastic group, and a group of Tibetans in the upper echelons, facing the new official system, looked at each other, and the five flavors were different.

The new Kasha government, nominally, as before, was under the regency; The Vice-Kalun is also below the Orthogalon. But. Even if it's a yellow-mouthed child. I know. How did the regent support the "Chao Kalun"? How did the "Tibetan Kalon" who held the main post support the "Chao Kalun" who held the deputy office? For the "Chao Kalun" in the deputy post, only the "Chao Kalun" in the main post will support the movement, and the "Chao Kalun" in the main post will naturally bypass the regent and be directly responsible to the minister stationed in Tibet.

Under the new bureaucratic system, the power of the regency was also indirectly weakened.

Underneath the Kashag, there are two most important institutions. One is called "Yicang", which is equivalent to the secretariat, and the person in charge is two four-grade monks; One is called "Zikang", which is equivalent to the audit office, and the person in charge is three four-grade secular officials. At the same time, these two institutions also have the function of organizing the department, "Yicang" to manage monks and officials, and "Zikang" to manage lay officials.

In the new official system, the number of chief officials of "Yicang" and "Zikang" has increased to four. Each is "two dynasties and two Tibets". In this way, the three most important powers of the Kashag government are secretarial and secretarial, fiscal taxation, and personnel management. For each item, the imperial court took half of it.

As for the question of "the influence of the Huangjiao monastic group in the government......

Well, let's do it, let's not hold any "Kalun Enlarged Meeting" in the future, the name is not justified, and the "three major monasteries" participating in the meeting are not respectful enough!

Well, for the sake of solemnity, let's set up a "Council of Great Counsellors", and ask the deputy minister and the regent to be the "honorary chairman", the two Zhengkalon of one monk and one dynasty to be the "chairman", and the four deputy Kalons and the "khenpo" of the "three major monasteries" to be the "vice chairmen".

Look, the "Khenpo" of the "Three Great Monasteries" is on an equal footing with the Kalun government of the Kashag government, and this is the truth of respecting all living Buddhas!

Who are the "commissioners", you ask? Oh, the "members" of this "Council of Great Counsellors" include the "khenpos" of all the other Huangjiao monasteries in Qianzang, as well as important officials, headmen, and so on, in short, "virtuous people from all walks of life".

If you think about it, when the "Council of Great Counselors" is convened, all the dignitaries of the former Tibetan government and the opposition are present, and the deputy ministers and regents, who are not only "honorary chairmen," will naturally also attend the meeting, but they will also bring the instructions of the ministers stationed in Tibet and the Dalai Lama. This "Grand Counsellors' Conference", where all the sages gathered, gathered together, how bold, how lively? After the "translation warehouse" of the "Grand Counsellors' Council" is sorted out, it will be submitted to the minister stationed in Tibet and the Dalai Lama for review.

Uh, may I ask, how often is this "Grand Counsellors' Council" held?

Besides, the place in Tibet is so big, it is not easy for the khenpos, officials, and leaders outside Lhasa to come to the meeting once, so how about once a year?

Yes?

Or is it too often? Let's do it every two years!

Belch......

Thousands of grass and mud horses galloped through my heart......

The government has been changed, the form of the temple's participation in and discussion of state affairs has been changed, and there is another important matter that must also be changed -- the Tibetan army.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, there was no formal army in Tibet, and ordinary people who were farming and grazing cattle in ordinary times did not carry out military training, let alone have a fixed establishment.

What combat effectiveness can such an army have? The enemy was a little stronger, and then it was crushed at the first touch. Therefore, Tibet had no way to meet Mongolia, and was successively subject to Heshute and Dzungaria, and was completely unable to move. The battle with the Gurkha was also a complete defeat.

In view of this, after quelling the Gurkha rebellion, Gaozong ordered Tibet to form a regular army of 3,000 people, with six "Daiben" members and four rank officials, each of whom had 500 people, and all military supplies were issued by the Kasha government.

The combat effectiveness of this so-called "regular army" is also very suspicious, discipline is lax on weekdays, the level of training is low, and it is basically in a state of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days, and there has always been a serious shortage of quotas, but it is better than nothing.

The Kaxia government and the ministers stationed in Tibet are well aware of this situation, but the Kalons of the Kasha government are busy fighting for power and profit, and they don't care about it at all. As for the ministers stationed in Tibet, turn a blind eye and just don't see -- on this issue, the imperial court is schizophrenic: it hopes that when foreign enemies invade Tibet, the local government can share the pressure of the imperial court, but it also does not want Tibet to really have its own powerful army.

However, to tell the truth, after Tantra became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the national identity of the Tibetans underwent a fundamental change -- the Tibetans could no longer fight. The Tubo, which once overwhelmed China in the Tang Dynasty, has long since disappeared and will never be able to reappear.

Therefore, during the Zhan Rebellion, Tibet still couldn't take Gong Brownjie with the strength of Tibet, and in the end, it was led by the Han soldiers that they reluctantly drove the Zhan soldiers out of Litang.

Guan Zhuofan's reform of the Tibetan army was not to increase the combat effectiveness of the Tibetan army, but to grasp the command of this army in the hands of the imperial court.

How to rectify it? Well, following the example of the Green Battalion, the Xuan Army is responsible for the "reorganization" of the Tibetan army -- this is a game of chess for the whole country, and Tibet is no exception.

In this way, the restructuring of the Tibetan army was not directly sacrificed in the name of the "imperial court" like the restructuring of Kalon, Yicang, and Zikang, but the result of the restructuring was more thorough than that of Kalon, Yicang, and Zikang, and the command of the Tibetan army was completely transferred to the hands of the Xuan army, that is, to the hands of the "imperial court."

From then on, without the minister stationed in Tibet and the generals of the Xuan army who led the Tibetan army, the head of the Tibetan people, whether it was the Kalon, the regent, or even the Dalai Lama, could no longer mobilize a single soldier of the Tibetan army.

It should be pointed out that all of the above reforms are in the former Tibetan region - that is, the area ruled by the Dalai Lama; Houzang ruled for Panchen Erdeni, who had always been obedient and had no second thoughts about the imperial court, so there was no need to touch him for the time being.

The "reform of the land and return to the stream" in the Tibetan areas of Sichuan, which was derived from the Zhan Zheng Rebellion, and the "reform of the official system" in the former Tibetan areas of Tibet, have come to an end, and the results have been very satisfying, and it can be said that they have far exceeded expectations.

The edict was issued, and Guan Zhuofan, the king of Xuanjun, was awarded the title of prince of the county by the prince of the prince of the county with the "merit of stabilizing Sichuan and Tibet", and he was the prince of Xuan.

Guan Zhuofan was inaccurate, so he could only thank him for it.

For Prince Guan Zhuofanjin, naturally some people have ideas, but "stabilizing Sichuan Tibet" is a great achievement of Yonggu Jinou, Ze and future generations, and no one can be unconvinced.

Guan Zhuofan's benefits from "stabilizing Sichuan and Tibet" are not limited to one prince.

During the rebellion, a small branch born in the court was played by Guan Zhuofan, and the result was a huge profit.
