Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 817
To put it simply, the capital of Tiannanxing, set up Tiannan General, and garrisoned [-] troops in Shache.

The remaining five major cities were stationed in command envoys, with [-] to [-] officers, who were responsible for guarding the major oases.

Like a big net, covering the entire southern border.

Although they are all Xingdusi, the Western Regions are different from Jilin and Nurgan.

The Northeast is vast and sparsely populated. Even a general with military and political integration cannot reach a county or a prefecture in the interior.

However, the southern Xinjiang region has a vast territory, centered on the six major cities, and there are nearly one million Uighurs living there. More importantly, it also has a unified religion-Peace Sect.

"It is said that the Yarkand country is divided into six major cities, each occupying an oasis, with nearly a million people. It can be said that it is far different from Jilin."

Zhang Shenyan cautiously put forward his own suggestion: "The garrison generals combine the military and the government, and the land of thousands of miles makes people covet it and have wild ambitions."

"Besides, there are too many Uighurs, and the situation is complicated. Warriors are not good at governing the people. If disputes are stirred up and the whole body is affected, the Tiannan region may not be safe."

One characteristic of southern Xinjiang is that the Peace Sect is an international religion, and the Mughal Empire that ruled Afghanistan and India also believed in him.

The Kazakhs in Central Asia and the Kyrgyz Khanate are also peace religions.

This also means that it has the possibility of external interference.

Once something happens, the west and south will attract the covetousness of others.

Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, General Yili was basically stationed in the area north of the Tianshan Mountains in Junggar to train troops, while the Tiannan area was in a state of autonomy.

"That's true." Zhao Shu couldn't help but said: "The Uighurs can't understand their language. If they use martial arts indiscriminately to govern the people, I'm afraid it will repeat the old Annan incident."

"It is necessary to designate civilian officials to govern, while the garrison generals are responsible for defense."

Zhu Yixi also calmed down at this time, and he tapped the table with his index finger unconsciously.

The situation today is different from that of Qing Dynasty.

At that time, the Junggar Khanate north of the Tianshan Mountains was almost wiped out, and General Yili used the northern border to hold the southern border hostage, which can be described as a balance.

"In that case, let's use the Uighurs!"

In the end, it was inevitable that the locals share the power.

If you want to fully integrate the entire southern border into Ming Dynasty, you must let the Uighurs have a sense of belonging. There is nothing better than sharing power.

"Your Majesty, I have seen in the memorandum that the land of the Yarkand Khanate is divided into three categories: private, state-owned, and religious. Why not divide the country's public land and serfs?"

At this time, Lu Daqi was as aggressive as ever, and his voice was loud, resounding throughout the palace.

The eyes of the ministers gathered on him one after another.

Stunned, amazed, doubted, admired, and so on.

But no one can deny that this is an extremely promising policy.

"Wonderful!" Zhu Yixi suddenly realized that he was imprisoned by history.

In order to rule, the Qing Dynasty chose to collude with those with vested interests to maintain its own rule. It did not ask for money and food, but only wanted to be safe.

So for the Uighurs, they just changed their masters, and their other living conditions remained unchanged at all.

But Daming is different, and Zhu Yixi is also different.

What he wants is complete rule, including administrative power, judicial power, diplomacy, etc., all in the hands of the Ming court.

At this time, distributing the land of those nobles and kings to the landless, the few, and even the serfs was tantamount to rebuilding the order.

The Uighurs became vested interests, and the Ming army would become the defenders of order. The two naturally lived in harmony, and the possibility of rebellion was greatly reduced, and there was no need to be afraid of outsiders.

More importantly, the southern Xinjiang region cannot affect the interior at all, and even if it is all chaotic, it will not shake the rule of the imperial court.

In this case, wouldn't it be beautiful for the emperor to paint casually?

"What Lu Qing said is true."

The emperor sighed, full of passion all over his body:
"Confiscate all the land of nobles who escaped from the Yarkand Khanate and rebelled, and distribute it to the common people."

"In addition, the serfs will be abolished, and they will be allowed to cultivate land and become taxpayers for the imperial court."

"Taxes are collected [-]%."

"I don't believe in such a benevolent government, and there will be rebellions."

These words made several people in the cabinet stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to react.

"By the way, this kind of delicate work can't be done with high merit. The court needs to choose a capable official to convey my heart and Ming's heart."

"The capital of the line?" Zhang Shenyan asked carefully.

"There are still capital divisions and garrison generals, but their jurisdiction is divided into prefectures and counties."

The emperor said: "According to the form of internal force, appoint those Uighurs as officials to serve the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, how about the imperial examination?" Yan Chongxin finally found a chance to speak and couldn't help asking.

"Good question." Zhu Yixi reacted and said with a big laugh: "Imperial examinations are also required, and the Four Books and Five Classics of the sages must also be studied."

"Government schools and private schools have to be set up. One year later, they will be tested for scholars, and the next year they will be tested for Juren. They must understand the benefits of the imperial examination."

Only by taking part in the imperial examination can one become a gentry class and thus safeguard the interests of Ming Dynasty.

Kazakhstan has an imperial examination?Russia has imperial examinations?
Only I, the Ming Dynasty, is your strong backing and the ladder for your descendants to progress.

No matter how much dross the imperial examination has, its biggest advantage is that it has an apparently fairest promotion channel, not blood relatives.

Reshaping a gentry class in southern Xinjiang sounds exciting.

The cabinet discussed it up and down, and finally came up with a preliminary arrangement.

The garrison general remains unchanged, responsible for maintaining law and order, and the army is the military officer and civilian head of the southern Xinjiang region.

The civil servants are prefects and counties, responsible for governing the people and collecting taxes, obeying the orders of the garrison generals, and maintaining law and order.

However, the right to appoint and remove civil servants is in the hands of the imperial court, and the garrison generals have no right to interfere.

"What if the Oirat Mongolian tribes interfere?"

At this time, Lu Daqi who started the topic boldly walked in front of the map, pointed to the Ili River Valley and said, "If it occupies this place, and even makes an inch of it to take Kashgar, what will the court do?"

"Let him occupy it for the time being." Zhang Shenyan smiled confidently, and said softly, "The land was originally the court's place, and now Oirat dares to occupy it. This is a provocation to the court and must not be lightly let go."

"The day when the Oirat Mongols will perish."

These words shocked everyone.

If it was said by the emperor, it is completely in line with his usual domineering.

But it was said by Zhang Shenyan, who is usually cautious and conservative, which made people surprised.

Seeing the surprised look of the emperor, he said calmly: "We are on the east and south of Oirat, and the Russians are on the north. They must not sleep well, and sooner or later they will make trouble."

"It's better to kill them than to be in a hurry at that time."

"That's the reason." Everyone nodded.

Politics, military, and taxation are set, but religion is simpler.

The Baishan faction and the Montenegro faction are in a [-]-[-] balance, so that one family is not allowed to dominate.

Property and so on can be given up, but they must not be allowed to have an army.

Even in the end, even the arrangements north of the Tianshan Mountains were finalized.

Divide and rule, recruit Mongols to garrison Tiannan, recruit Uighurs to garrison Tianbei, the Ming army is the ballast, and it will be safe when the time comes.

Otherwise, ginger is still old and spicy.

The next day, the Daming Gazette issued a special issue: Loulan is still here?

The article starts from the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and talks about Ban Gu’s contribution to the army, the fall of the Tang Dynasty, and the [-] years of ups and downs...

The last sentence concludes that today's emperor's martial arts and martial arts have reached their peak.

Of course, the most attractive thing to ordinary people is that as long as they have the reputation of a scholar, they don't need to take any provincial examinations at all after they go to the Western Regions and are directly awarded the county magistrate.

In an instant, the ruling and opposition parties immediately set off a wave of public opinion about the Western Regions.

Many frustrated scholars mustered up their courage and wanted to become a county magistrate.

As long as you survive for three years, you can transfer to the mainland and become a real county magistrate, which is so worth it.

Ruzhou Prefecture, Lushan County.

As early as the first year of Shaowu, the imperial court planned to carry out the important task of filling Henan from Sichuan, and in the second year of Shaowu, it was officially decided.

At the beginning of the third year of Shaowu, after all preparations were made, a large number of landless and landless people in Sichuan were attracted by ten acres of land per capita and were forced to move to Ruzhou, Henan.

As the center of the war back then, Ruzhou was in chaos, and there were mountains in the northwest, so a large number of civilians fled, so that in the first year of Shaowu, there were no more than a hundred thousand people.

Following Shaowu's three years of immigration, in the past three years, more than [-] households have migrated to Ruzhou, [-] households have migrated to Henan Prefecture, and [-] households have migrated to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Nearly 500,000 people came to Henan to start their new lives.

As a scholar, although Zhong Ming is only a child, if he was in normal times, he would definitely not be included in the migration list.

But there is no way, there are too many people in Sichuan.

Almost half of the population is gathered in Chengdu Prefecture, near the Minjiang River.

This is the land of abundance.

According to rough statistics in the first year of Shaowu, there were more than 8 million people in Sichuan Province, and even after Chongqing was divided, there were still 7 million people.

With such a crowded population, naturally many people do not have land, or put their land under the banner of the King of Shu. More than 200 years later, the land has long been owned by others, and many people have become tenants.

Zhong Ming is no exception.

Originally thought that the king of Shu died and the land was his own, but who knew that the court came back and the land became Huangzhuang.

The imperial court promised that if a scholar like him migrated, he would be a clerk in the sixth room of the county government.

Being a nine-rank official with a good nationality, he will not delay the imperial examination.

There was no other way, he was forced to join the ranks of migration.

But fortunately, the preparations for the relocation are complete. Leaving aside the exhaustion of boats and cars along the way, the food in the relocation place is enough for him to relax.

After settling down, reclaiming wasteland and building houses, after several years of tossing, the people who migrated in the past can barely survive.

"This trip was not in vain."

After becoming an official, the status is very different, and the land for the house comes naturally, pampered and pampered, much better than the old boy.

Lying on the cool chair, he couldn't help thinking about it.

"Ouch, ouch—"

Suddenly, Zhong Mingzhi felt a terrible toothache.

"What's wrong?" His wife came over in a hurry: "Go and ask Doctor Zhang—"

"No, send me directly to the county hospital."

Zhong Ming whimpered in pain and hurriedly greeted him.

In this way, the family carried him to the hospital.

This medical clinic was funded by the county government and established at the request of the imperial court.

The incumbent doctor of the medical center was even sent down from the city of Beijing, and he himself had an official status, so he had a great background.

After the Shaowu medical book was completed, the emperor asked all the prefectures and counties in the world to build medical centers to treat diseases for the people. For this reason, he specially dispatched the apprentices of the Imperial Hospital and the doctors who compiled the books to the local area.

Naturally, they all have official status and belong to official doctors, and what they do is to relieve diseases and difficulties for the common people.

Although when they were in the capital, the apprentices could only see a doctor for the court ladies and eunuchs, and even dawdled around, those high-ranking officials and nobles were even more dismissive, and they didn't even bother to find their teachers.

It seems that the apprentices of Tai Hospital are not worth a penny in the capital.

But in the local area, they are highly respected, and their medical skills are superb, far surpassing those ignorant and ignorant rural doctors.

And provinces like Henan and Shanxi, which are heavily immigrated, are in urgent need of a group of doctors, whether it is to control the acclimatization or to prevent the plague.

Therefore, the apprentices first came to several provinces for medical treatment.

The apprentice doctor is in his twenties, with a layer of fine hair on his mouth, but the common people are queuing up, waiting to see a doctor.

At this time, Zhong Ming was sent over.

"It's written in the medical book, it's just a tooth bug,"

"Just pull out the tooth decay." The doctor said calmly, "Be patient—"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the large pliers and pulled it out.

Several big men imprisoned Zhong Ming, and finally passed out from the pain.

"Did you see clearly?"

The doctor asked the boys who were a few years younger than him.

"Clear."

"That's good."

After a lot of commotion, the medical center settled down.

At this time, another person suddenly broke in.

He was dressed in an eighth-rank official robe, but his whole body was filled with a strong smell of herbs.

"Doctor Qin—"

Seeing this person, the doctor hurriedly bowed down, respectfully.

After the medical clinics were divided into the world, there were three levels of county, government, and imperial hospitals.

The official ranks of doctors are divided into five grades: doctor, doctor, doctor, imperial doctor, and court judge.

Among them, the doctor ranks nine, the doctor ranks eight, and so on.

Doctors sit in county towns, and doctors sit in prefectural cities. In theory, doctors are doctors' superiors.

"How many apprentices do you have here?"

Physician Qin waved his hand and asked directly.

"There are about seven or eight people. For the time being, only one or two people can be used. The others need more training."

"Then pick them out." Physician Qin hurriedly said, "Nowadays, there are more and more immigrants from Henan, and there are not enough medical officers. More promotion is needed."

"Don't worry, I will never forget your contribution to cultivation."

After he left, the doctor thought: "Being a doctor is better than becoming an official, even if you go to the Western Regions."

Holding the bulletin tightly, his face was full of helplessness.

A few days later, hundreds of apprentices gathered in dozens of counties in Henan Province, and they will be selected to practice medicine in the Western Regions and Eastern Liaodong.

"Although you will go to the Western Regions, the Western Regions, you will all become real doctors, sit in medical clinics, and receive royal salaries."

After some encouragement, the apprentices had to obey the assignment and were forced to embark on a journey to a different place.

The medical officer system that was broadcast and dispersed once again contributed to Daming.
