Han Shizu

Chapter 1574 Anton Governor's Mansion

In June of the 13th year of Kaibao, at the time of the half-year summary, Dahan also entered a busy state unlike previous years, an eventful autumn.One after another, decisions related to the stability of the Han Dynasty have entered the stage of conclusion implementation and discussion. From the development of the Northeast to the naturalization of the frontier barbarians, this has been the most important work direction of the imperial court in recent years.

Regarding the governance policy of the "naturalized" tribes in northern Xinjiang, Emperor Liu's instructions also quickly formed a written imperial edict, which was circulated to all sides and clearly stated to the court.

Although there were some opinions that were too strong and too clear, which put too much pressure and strict requirements on the officials in charge, they fully reflected the attitude and will of Emperor Liu, but no one dared to raise objections.

The ministers of the imperial court, whether they were veterans who had served Emperor Liu for many years, or newcomers who had just entered a high position, did not dare to comment on it, and they should only implement it in earnest and follow Emperor Liu's wishes.In this regard, as Prime Minister Zhao Pu is too experienced.

And it is not only aimed at Shanyang and Monan, but also includes Yanshan North Road, Yulin, Hexi, Guannei, and Shannan Roads. This is an overall guiding opinion and policy for treating Hu.

At the same time, in late June, led by Prince Liu Yang, assisted by Prime Minister Zhao Pu, Privy Envoy Cao Bin and other ministers, finally came up with a set of plans for the construction and establishment of the Han Andong Governor's Mansion.

This is the first time that the Han Dynasty established a formal and special governance institution for remote areas, and its particularity can be seen only from the name of the Dudufu.

Its structure setting, the assignment of officials, and military functions obviously refer to the Anton Governor's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty.However, the territory under its jurisdiction is much smaller. It is basically bounded by Huanglong Mansion and Changbai Mountains. The inner part belongs to Liaodong Road, and the outer part belongs to Andong Dudu Mansion. A manifestation of the expansion of the Central Plains Empire to the Northeast over the past century, it is only a little slow and not so obvious.

Another innovation is the establishment of some positions, such as command envoy, inspection envoy, grain envoy, supervisor envoy, walled envoy, etc.Of course, there is only a difference in name and authority, and there is not much difference in specific functions. They all belong to the subordinate officials under the governor's mansion.

The army under the Governor's Mansion is rated at 500 people, including [-] cavalry, and the four armies of Jingyuan, Suiyuan, Huaiyuan, and Fuyuan are stationed.The personnel were drawn from the Liaodong garrison and servants. This force is not too small. It is spread along several major rivers such as the Yazi River, Nashui, and Heishui, as well as the cities of Suihua, Tieli, and Jingyuan, so as to control North-east area.

As for the residence of the Anton Governor's Mansion, it is located in Suihua City. Of course, it still stays on the map until June of the 13th year of Kaibao. It is a new label and only needs to be newly built.

This place is located in the Yazihe River, close to Huanglong Mansion, and can get support from Liaodong at any time. What's more special, this city will be built on the territory of the Wanyan tribe, and the soldiers of the Wanyan tribe will become the first batch of soldiers under the Anton Governor's Mansion Govern the people.

After many years of tossing, Wanyan Nuzhen, not to mention expansion, has no other share in Huanglong Mansion, Tieli area has been lost, the tribe has suffered heavy casualties, and its strength has shrunk severely. When it arrived, even the tribe land was invaded.According to this trend, Wanyan Jurchen obviously can't see the future under the eyes of the Anton Governor's Mansion. The key point is that she doesn't have any strength to resist, unless she risked her life and family to violently resist the court.

In terms of power, compared with the Anton Governor's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty, the Andong Governor of the Han Dynasty is much smaller and subject to more restrictions, and needs to be under the supervision of the court.

Liu Yang's original plan was that the Anton Governor's Mansion would be in charge of the military and administration. This is also convenient and requires a certain degree of autonomy.But when he reported to Emperor Liu, he immediately frowned, thinking that it was inappropriate, and only felt that the integration of military and political power was a system for creating chaos.

Emperor Liu's attitude is here, and Liu Yang and others have no choice but to make changes accordingly.After a new round of discussions, it was decided to set up the Andong Metropolitan Command Division to command the armies of Andong, following the example of the Daozhou system in the interior. However, this was still rejected by Emperor Liu on the grounds that Anton was different from the interior and did not have the right to rule directly. Conditions need to be different.

After another round of discussion, it was finally decided that Deputy Governor Anton would be in charge of the four armies and would be directly responsible to the Privy Council. Not under the control of the governor, it is somewhat nondescript.

Moreover, all military supplies are also coordinated and supplied from Liaodong and Yanshan.In the final analysis, while Emperor Liu gave the Andong region a certain degree of autonomy, he still had to hold the reins tightly in his hands, and refused to make any openings, giving the possibility of local military, political and financial power concentration, even if it was only in the remote Andong region.

It is not surprising that the garrison is treated in this way, and the customization of financial rights is not surprising. Although the imperial court does not plan to obtain much taxation in Antona, it still requires clarification of taxes and handing them over to the imperial court according to the system, but the amount is adjusted to half .

And because the Northeast needs money and materials to develop and maintain the operation of the Governor's Mansion and the counties and towns under its jurisdiction, this tax will still be returned to Anton.

This point is not made by Emperor Liu as a monster, but by the finance envoy Wang Zhu. Although some people take off their pants and fart, in his words, this is the system.For this point, Emperor Liu also agrees very much, he likes rules and regulations the most.

Of course, the final result is that Anton's finances and taxes do not need to be actually turned over to the center, but the accounts need to be clear and subject to inspection and audit by the imperial court at any time.

At the same time, according to Emperor Liu's instructions, the imperial court should also allocate 1 million yuan each year for the governance and development of the Andong Dudufu's jurisdiction.

It can be said that although the imperial court has set up many restrictions, including special care for military power and financial power, once the establishment of the Anton Governor's Mansion, it is still the one with the most independent power among the many local governments of the Han Dynasty. Anything can interfere.

In the words of Emperor Liu, as long as the development and development of the entire Andong region does not violate the Han Dynasty or the will of the imperial court, even if it is to establish some local regulatory policies, as long as it is beneficial to the development and development of the Northeast, it can be done arbitrarily.

As for the candidate for the first Anton Governor, there was not much controversy. Qin Wang Liuxu was chosen. Under Emperor Liu's preference, no one raised any objections.

The more critical deputy governor in charge of the army was carefully selected. Emperor Liu selected Xiangyang Wang Anshouzhong, Tian Qinzuo, Hou Renju, Ma Huaiyu and other generals as subordinates. It can be said that this first set of Anton governors The specifications of the government's military and political leadership are high enough and luxurious enough.

As for Ma Renyu, who had been serving in the Northeast for many years, he was finally able to leave and went to Beijing.In fact, after so many years of development, the real power in the hands of the chief and deputy commanders in the three yamen of the Forbidden Army has been very small, and they only occupy a nominal command of the army, and their core powers have gradually been delegated to the commanders of the subordinate armies.

Ma Renyu was assigned to the position of the deputy commander of the guards, not for retirement, but for a transitional period. As for how long the transition will take, it depends on the situation.

Of course, Emperor Liu would not treat such a meritorious general badly. Thinking of his hard work, Emperor Liu specially promoted Ma Renyu as Marquis of Leling.

Accompanied by the custom-made letter sent to Liaodong by the Anton Governor's Mansion, it was a letter written by Emperor Liu. The content of the letter was much more authentic than the cold imperial edict. Emperor Liu encouraged Liu Xu and asked him to let go. , Open up a new Northeast for the big man.
