Chapter 1: Decheng Emperor's throne continues to be orthodox, and the edict is issued to change the world to Xuanwu

In May of the first year of Song Jianyan, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty triumphed at Chenqiaoyi, and the three main generals of the whole army of more than 100,000 soldiers invited the Son of Heaven to take the throne of King Lu, the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, the first female emperor Zhao Huanhuan gladly agreed, issued the edict of Zen, and after the sacrifice to the temple, the emperor was passed on to the king of Lu, Hu Lan.

Hu Lan inherited the throne of the emperor, ordered the ministers, built the name Dayuan, set the capital Yanjing as Zhongjing, imitated the Song Dynasty and set the five capitals, with Huining Mansion as Beijing, Kaifeng as Nanjing, Shandong Jeju Mansion itself as Tokyo, Shanxi Taiyuan Mansion as Xijing. Sanniang set Wujing, the first time that the capital of other prefectures was Beijing, and the capital was set in Yanjing, showing that she wanted to control the northern land and completely cut off the threat from the nomads in Mobei.

Originally, most of the ministers were against moving the capital to Yanjing, the reason was very simple, the population in Yanjing was too small, and the water transportation was not as convenient as Kaifeng, so it was not the first choice for the imperial capital, but Sanniang still tried to overcome the public opinion, and decided to move the capital in the following year, and there was still a year to prepare.

After setting the name of the country and the national capital, Sanniang changed the name of the year to Xuanwu, and the following year was the first year of Xuanwu, and the prince of Lu was canonized, Hu Zongming, the son of King Lu, as the crown prince. The official system of the Song Dynasty was changed, the official system of the Yuan Dynasty was established, and the government affairs of the prime minister of Zhongshu Province were formally established. The governor of Zhongshu Province, the following Zhongshu Order, set the left and right prime ministers as the actual prime ministers, with Zong Ze as the left prime minister and Su Yuanjing as the right minister. There are four members of Pingzhang political affairs, one member of the left and right ministers, and two members of the governor's affairs as deputy ministers, with Li Gang, Huang Shang, Wang Zao, and Yang Shi as the political affairs of Pingzhang, Huang Wenbing as the left minister, Lou Minzhong as the right minister, and Wen Huanzhang and Gao Yu as the governors.

Hu Yuan Dynasty's Zhongshu Province from the Zhongshu Order, a total of ten people with real power, is the emperor to control the country's military and political affairs of the center, Zhongshu Province is also known as the ten-person cabinet in later generations, to enter the Zhongshu Province are all bearing the name of the scholars of each temple, and then it is the norm.

Militarily, Sanniang retained the Privy Council, and set up one Privy Councillor and one Privy Councillor, with the Privy Counsellor as the Privy Envoy and Lu Junyi as the Privy Vice-Envoy. Six members of the Privy Council were set up, and six people were appointed Guan Sheng, Yue Fei, Lin Chong, Wang Yu, Wang Yan, and Hu Yanzhuo. The Privy Council in Sanniang's bureaucratic system is more inclined to actually lead the army to fight, since the founding of the Hu Yuan Dynasty, every time there is a war, the generals in the Privy Council go out to lead the army to fight.

The Privy Council also has three key departments: the General Staff, the Intelligence Department, and the Admiralty. The General Staff is the place where the Privy Council assesses the strength of the surrounding countries, deduces the combat strategy of the imaginary enemy, formulates various battle plans, and trains the world's military horses. As the name suggests, the Intelligence Department is a place to collect intelligence, the Intelligence Department is an intelligence agency that focuses on military intelligence collection and is on the surface, and Jinyiwei has always been the internal intelligence agency personally in charge of Sanniang, and the two do not overlap with each other. The Admiralty is the department in charge of the navy of the world, and it organizes and trains the navy of the world, the inland water army, and the defense of the coast and along the rivers all belong to this department.

The General Staff Department is headed by Zhu Wu, and the officials worship the Privy Council, and the next is Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, Sun An, Li Ying, Zhu Tong, and Yang Zhi. The Intelligence Department is headed by Yan Qing, and the officials worship the Privy Council, supplemented by Ma Ling, Zheng Ying, Shi Qian, and Bai Sheng, and the officials worship the judgment of the Privy Council.

The Admiralty is headed by Li Jun, and has jurisdiction over four major naval fleets and inland water armies in the two major north-south water systems of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The four major fleets are the North Sea Fleet, the South China Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, and the Ocean Fleet, with Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Zhang Shun as the commanders, and the four fleets in chief, and the "Red Whisker Dragon" Fei Bao, the "Curly Tiger" Ni Yun, the "Skinny Bear" Di Cheng, and the "Taihu Jiao" Bu Qing are divided into the four fleets Deputy Admiral. In addition, Zhang Heng is the chief admiral of the inland river water division, and the two brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng are the commanders of the north and south water divisions respectively.

The Privy Council consists of six departments, the same as the Song system, and the general are the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War. Each book was changed to one member, each department was changed to six servants, and each department was assigned a number of books, clerks, and reckoning officials.

In addition to receiving official gifts and rewards, they also have to manage the appointment and dismissal of officials in various places, the annual performance appraisal of officials, and the promotion and demotion of officials. Different from the Song system, Sanniang also set the grades of the small officials in various states and counties, officially included in the official system, and generally had promotion scheduling, not like the Song Dynasty, the small officials are always just small officials, and they are still small officials after decades, and the small officials can also be officially promoted to officials through the assessment, but the content of the assessment is more perverted, and the difficulty is very high. It's just that the civil service examination of the Hu Yuan Dynasty was more practical.

The Ministry of Household Affairs was in charge of the country's money and grain, the number of people, the number of farmland, the number of military weapons, the number of various livestock, etc., in short, the Ministry of Household not only undertook the errands of the later statistical bureau, but also the errands of the Ministry of Fisheries and the Ministry of Agriculture. Originally, Sanniang wanted to separate the logistics department and the Ministry of agriculture at one time, but she always felt that it was too cumbersome to make eight departments at once, and it was better to streamline some institutions, so she set up the Fisheries Department and the Agriculture and Forestry Department under the Ministry of Households.

The most striking thing about this change in the official structure of the Ministry of War is the establishment of the Armor Division and the Logistics Department under the Ministry of War, and the responsibility of these two divisions is to strip the power from the hands of the generals of the various armies, and once the money, food, and armor are needed in the army, they will be undertaken by the two divisions of the Household Department in the future, and they will no longer be the money, food, and armor of the generals of the first army controlling the whole army. As long as the lifeblood of the money, food, armor and weapons of an army is controlled, no matter how strong the generals are, they can't set off any waves, which also means that Sanniang's control over the national army is more rigorous, and the army will be the army of the country rather than the army of any general.

At the same time, the Ministry of Household Affairs also joined the Customs Department, that is, responsible for the collection of customs duties for overseas trade, and maritime merchants had to pay customs duties before going to sea, and the later functions of the City Department were added to the duties of the Customs Department.

The Ministry of Rites undertakes the inconvenience, or the matter of etiquette, the matter of the imperial examination and the foreign-related matter, Sanniang especially increased the responsibilities of the Imperial Court, and stipulates that in the future, the vassal country that comes to worship, when returning the gift, must be a fair trade, Sanniang is not those who hold the idea of the Heavenly Empire, other countries pay tribute to some native products, and then the Celestial Empire for the sake of face, it will give some silk, tea, porcelain, etc., every time the tribute is returned, it is a loss.

In addition to being in charge of criminal punishment, Sanniang has set up a supervision department, which is mainly responsible for supervising the regulation of hundreds of officials. At the same time, the Criminal Department was deprived of the right to promulgate criminal laws, and the Criminal Department was only responsible for investigating, adjudicating, and adjudicating cases in the future, and all the decrees of the Hu Yuan Dynasty were promulgated by Zhongshu Ling. An additional department of the Criminal Department is the Police Division, which is responsible for managing the police stations set up in various localities, that is, for maintaining local law and order.

In addition to the previous construction of water conservancy, bridge and paving, construction of houses, palaces, and city walls, Sanniang has set up three new divisions: the Firearms Division, the Ship Division, and the Machinery Division. The Firearms Division is responsible for the manufacture and research and development of various firearms, artillery, and gunpowder. The Ship Department also existed when Shandong Road was in place, and was responsible for managing ships and building ships. At the same time, the Shipping Department should also manage all kinds of ships in inland waterway shipping, which can be regarded as the predecessor of the Jiangsu Maritime Safety Bureau. The Machinery Division is also responsible for a wide range of tasks, from mineral exploration to mining, smelting, and the manufacture of various machinery.

Most of the officials and subordinates of the six ministries are civil officials from Shandong Road, and they have already had good experience in implementing the new policy in Shandong Road, and the next step is just to promote the whole country. Among the old brothers from Liangshan, only because many of them were military generals, there are not many who hold official positions in the six ministries, only Mu Hong is the secretary of the military department, Han Tao, Peng Xi, Huang Xin, Sun Li and others are serving as waiters in the military department, Pei Xuan, the iron-faced face is the secretary of the criminal department, Cai Fu and Cai Qing are serving in the criminal department, the nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang is serving in the agriculture and forestry department of the household department, Meng Kang is serving in the ship department, Tang Long is serving in the Bingjia Division, and Jin Dajian and Xiao Rang are serving in the Ministry of Rites.

The rest of the Liangshan brothers were all military generals, and Sanniang set up five military regions in the country, which were responsible for commanding the world's soldiers and horses, and were responsible for defending the border and defending the place. The rest of the Liangshan generals and Tian Hu and Fang Lalu generals all held military positions in the five major military regions, so I will not repeat them here. In short, Sanniang has arranged for a group of old brothers who follow her, in addition to serving in the military, the thirty-six Tiangang generals have been awarded the position of marquis or earl according to their military exploits, and the rest of the generals have been awarded titles and titles.

The Hu Yuan Dynasty also changed the local administrative system, changing the administrative units of the Song Dynasty to provinces, such as Shandong Road to Shandong Province, Sanniang is still used to using provinces to divide local administrative areas, and did not follow the Song Dynasty's military state. Under the province is the government, under the government is the state, under the state is the county, under the county is the township, and under the countryside is the village. Sanniang has changed the common problem of the previous dynasty in local governance, that is, there is no good governance below the county level, and most of the villagers are self-governing. The Hu Yuan Dynasty also set up township and village units under the county, and the township and village chiefs were generally elected by the villagers themselves, but the imperial court added supervision and performance evaluation, and at the same time gave the imperial court money, and effectively governed the smaller local administrations below the county level.

At the same time, Sanniang also set up the Imperial History Supervision Desk, which was responsible for supervising the officials of the whole country, set up the Zongzheng Mansion to manage the clan and the princes at all levels, set up the Xuanzheng Yuan to manage the teachings of the world, and set up the Xuanwei Department to manage the affairs of ethnic minorities. And Gongsun Sheng, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and other monks were mostly awarded the positions of protector of the country, national teachers and other positions, so they served in the Xuanzheng Yuan.

Although the imperial court allows women to hold official positions, only Qiong Ying, Sun Erniang, Pang Qiuxia, Gu sister-in-law and other female generals who followed Sanniang to start a family in the imperial court, and few women really pass the imperial examination to become officials. It wasn't until the fifth year after Sanniang's son Hu Zongming succeeded to the throne that the first Yuan Dynasty woman was officially an official through the imperial examination, and the first female champion of the imperial examination appeared ten years after Hu Zongming ascended the throne, which was twenty or thirty years later.
