Chapter 1: The fourth spring of Longwu

Longwu four years, spring.

The Ming Dynasty was reunited. The haze of war can be regarded as dissipating.

In the autumn of the third year of Longwu, the city of Nanjing was broken. Emperor Longwu entered Nanjing. Throughout the second half of the year, the work of cleaning up the southern provinces began.

He Xi made a bold move and directly divided Nanzhili into two provinces and one capital.

The two provinces are Jianghuai and Anhui.

The reason why it is not Jiangsu, it is Jianghuai. It's because the positioning is different.

First of all, it is necessary to determine why Nanzhili is separated. It's because of the core problem of the Ming Dynasty. The reason why Nanzhili is Nanzhili is because the core of the Ming Dynasty is Nanjing.

In order to defend Nanjing, we should play the role of strong cadres and weak branches. The Nanjing Imperial Court needed a fundamental plan, even if something happened elsewhere. The imperial court also had the ability to suppress it.

Nanjing's basic plate is Nanzhili.

Nanzhili is not only a large territory, but also the four prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, occupying three percent of the Ming Dynasty's taxes.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang was the one who raised the army in Lianghuai. It also regards Lianghuai as a good source of soldiers, with soldiers and food.

Now, the future of tomorrow is centered on Beijing. Then the role of Nan Zhili will not work. There is even a negative effect.

Today's Beijing is based on Hebei, Liaodong, and Monan. The steel and grain of Hebei and Liaodong, as well as the war horses of Monan, are the basic plates.

And such a large territory in Nanzhili has caused an imbalance to the center.

Therefore, Nanzhili must be divided.

There can't be such a large province.

But why not Jiangsu, but JAC.

Actually, according to He Xi's original intention. He Xi is also ready to imitate the disposition of the Qing court in history. But Yang Shiqi gave an objection.

Yang Shiqi's opinion is simple.

That is the Jiangnan area, as the prosperous area of the Ming Dynasty. The development of heavy industry is limited in terms of resource endowment. However, it does not mean that there are restrictions on the development of other industries.

In terms of making money alone, in fact, light industry is more profitable than heavy industry.

Don't look at it, the Gangnam area seems to be a mess now. But for the foreseeable future, Jiangnan is already a land of wealth.

The Ming court was in the north, and it was very likely that it would lose control of the land of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, when dealing with the division of the administrative region of Nanzhili, there is a problem to consider. That is the idea of the industrial development of the South.

He Xi suddenly understood.

According to Yang Shiqi's idea, Nanjing was expanded. From Nanjing, to the mouth of the Yangtze River, this road is all divided into Nanjing.

Anyway, Nanjing, as a Beijing division, has never had a certain rule on the size of the area directly under its own jurisdiction.

Big and small are fine.

The four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River were divided into two, one part was directly under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, and the other part was directly divided into Zhejiang.

The reason for this is also very simple.

In terms of the overall hardware environment of the Ming Dynasty, the development of industry. Most places are unattainable. For a long time to come, even if the industrial mode of production spreads. But industrial development will still gather somewhere. This is due to cost.

In Beijing, to form a Beijing industrial belt, it is probably the Beijing division along the railway to connect Liaodong. This aspect is focused on heavy industry. Nanjing, on the other hand, is along the Yangtze River to develop light industry.

In many cases, the imperial court can grasp the big and let go of the small, and grasp the big, which is naturally the two capitals.

It is estimated that it is not impossible that the taxes of the two capitals will be half of that of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

No matter what happens in the future, the imperial court will seize the two capitals. The two capitals do not get out of control. The big picture can't be reversed.

Adhering to the idea of establishing an industrial base in Nanjing. There is a tilt in the division. Jiangsu has naturally become Jianghuai, Xuzhou, Fengyang, Huai'an, Yangzhou as a province. Luzhou, Anqing, Ningguo, Huizhou, and Chizhou are one province, and the latter is naturally Anhui.

However, it is different from the historical Anhui Province.

Nanjing Yingtianfu is simply a small province.

And He Xi is right

In response to the architecture of Tianfu, a lot of thought has also been done. It is a complete copy of Beijing's architecture. Let Tie Xuan be the Yin of Tianfu.

It was also officially determined that Ying Tianfu Yin and Shuntian Mansion Yin were the heads of the Jiang ministers. So the magistrate is the best. And Tie Hyun's future is also well arranged.

He did a good job in Ying Tianfu. In the future, it will go straight to the cabinet. He is a university scholar. Even if it can't, it will be listed as the most important book.

Such a big movement is not only a reflection on the future, but also a consideration of the present.

One of them is the clean-up of the city of Nanjing.

Zhu Yunwen has been the son of Jianwen for four years.

In the city of Nanjing, there are also diehards. Not to mention, He Xi didn't want to use these old ministers of Nanjing in the future Ming center. Just think, He Xi also wants to leave a place for his own people.

Of course, He Xi wants to move the capital in the future.

But He Xi also understands that he must spend a few years in Nanjing. After everyone in the world is attached to the people, we will talk about other things.

Therefore, Nanjing must be the capital in the next few years.

He Xi must also use his own people.

This is a question, what should these officials in Nanjing do?

The law does not hold the public accountable. When these men entered the city, they did not resist. Honestly admit that Emperor Longwu is orthodox. You can't take them all.

Not only them, but many ministers in the world are watching.

Now there is no way.

Two new provinces were established at once, one with the capital at Anqing and the other with the capital Fengyang. According to the new policy of He Xi, a province needs several senior officials. In addition, the Great War of the North and the South, the provincial capitals in many places had to be rebuilt. All the central ministers of the Nanjing Imperial Court were sent out at once.

The fate of these ministers in the future can be imagined.

For example, Natsuhara Yoshi. He is also from Guozijian, but the problem is that when he was in Guozijian, He Xi was no longer in Beijing. He even lost control of the country. Xia Yuanji became the head of the household department in the Jianwen Dynasty, and was Qi De's right-hand man and a capable financial minister. So a lot of fiscal policy hasn't been successful. But Xia Yuanji is also a person who works hard to support front-line military supplies, and he is also a very capable person.

Historically, after he defected to King Yan, he became an important minister of the country.

But now, he can only be demoted to the governor of Jianghuai.

If there is no accident, he will be in the governor's office for many years, and in the future, he will only increase his false title, but he will be promoted to the official. Maybe he will be able to become the governor of Nanyang, the governor of the East, and when he is old, he will be the governor of Shuntianfu, and the political future of this life will come to an end.

This is still the case when he has been promoted all the way up and there are no mistakes. Once something goes wrong.

Don't mention the future.

These former ministers of Nanjing are probably all in this way.

In addition, Liangguang was also pacified.

This is the meaning of the question.

I didn't think that the Liangguang region could resist the imperial court alone.

At this time, the Privy Council also made a new establishment.

That is the reduction of the guard. The more than 300 health centers were reduced to more than 120. and establish a forbidden army with a total strength of 1.2 million.

It is also a division of soldiers and horses, and the establishment of a division of soldiers and horses that can be dispatched by local officials.

There are about 10,000 to 20,000 people in a province.

Of course, this varies from province to province. Some provinces have large localities and large populations, so there are a little more, and some provinces have a little less.

Daming Liangjing, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Liaodong, Goryeo, Jianghuai, Anhui, Huguang, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian. A total of two capitals and nineteen provinces, plus expatriate troops from the East and the West.

There were about 300,000 of them.

As a result, it constituted the total strength of the Ming Dynasty. Thirty-six corps. In addition, a number of troops directly under the central government and the two major naval division systems of Beiyang and Nanyang. As a forbidden army, a total of 1.2 million. There are a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses in various places. With the addition of the guards, it is about 600,000.

A total of more than 2.3 million.

Of course, it's still true

A master plan was given, and it would take several years to implement it.

It is also necessary to know how many personnel arrangements and conflicts.

This reorganization is a major reshuffle of the old and new forces. After this reshuffle, the influence left by the guard system and the nobles of the Hongwu period will be gone.

The Longwu era is the real coming of the future.

In addition, for the Longwu Dynasty, there is another important thing that has to be done, that is, to determine the legitimacy of the Longwu Dynasty.

It's not in the middle of the article, just write a few sentences. If you want to convince the world, you have to do a lot of things.
