Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 358 "Edict on Grassland Governance in the Three Years of Qianxi"

In the third year of Qianxi's reign, June 27th.

The sun was shining brightly, and there was no cloud in the sky.

Ten miles east of the former site of Helin City, in the main tent of the Ming Army.

After Zhu Zhanyu took his seat, he looked around at the generals in the tent and said loudly: "Before discussing the matter, I would like to announce an important matter."

"Emperor Father has decreed the abolition of the six Jisi capital offices on the grassland, and officially established six capital commanders' offices in Yanran, Jinzhou, Jiankun, Anbei, Shuofang, and Yunzhong, which are under the direct control of the imperial court and also manage civil affairs. It is also commonly known as Shitudusi."

"Commanders of each division and the commanders of the guards under their jurisdiction, Tongzhi, Qianshi, Zhenfu Envoy, Qianhu, Baihu and other military attachés are already on their way to their posts."

"Each administrative office and the imperial court in the jurisdiction have official documents and maps. The maps are military secrets and only deputy military attachés of [-] households and above have the right to inspect them."

Yanran Mountain and the area to the north of the mountain, as well as the area to the west of the Tula River (excluding Langjuxu Mountain), including the Zabhan River, are the most elite parts of Mobei, and belong to the Yanran Dusi Jurisdiction.

Its administrative seat is Longcheng, which has jurisdiction over Zhuoyewei, Zhuoye Zuowei, Zhuoye Youwei, Junjiwei, Junjizuowei, Junjiyouwei, Gehewei, Gehezuowei, Geheyouwei and Hanhewei. , Hanhe left guard, Hanhe right guard and other twelve guards and acropolis, as well as sixty Qianhusuo and Qianhusuo cities.

Jinzhou Dusi is adjacent to Yanran Dusi to the east and Beiting Province and Puchang Province to the south. Its jurisdiction covers Jinshan and the area to the north of Jinshan and close to the Zabhan River in the south of Yanran Mountain.

Its administrative seat is Jinweicheng, which has ten jurisdictions: Jinshan Guard, Jinshan Left Guard, Jinshan Right Guard, Jinshan Guard, Jinshan Lower Guard, Shihe Guard, Shihe Left Guard, Shihe Right Guard, Shihe Upper Guard, and Shihe Lower Guard. Guards and acropolis, as well as fifty Qianhusuo and Qianhusuo cities.

Jiankun Dusi is adjacent to Jinzhou Dusi and Yanran Dusi to the south. It is bounded by the Shihe River in Ye'er to the west and the eastern branch of the Kelu River to the east. The area under its jurisdiction is roughly equivalent to the old land of Jiankun in the Han Dynasty, and the area is relatively vast.

Its administrative seat is Kunwu City, under the jurisdiction of Qianhewei, Qianhe Left Guard, Qianhe Right Guard, Qianhe Upper Guard, Qianhe Lower Guard, Omu River Guard, Omu Upper Guard, Omu Lower Guard, Omu Zuo There are ten guards and acropolis, including the Wei and Omu right guards, as well as fifty Qianhusuo and Qianhusuo cities.

Anbei Dusi is bounded by the east branch of the Kera River to the west, Jiankun Dusi to the west, Yanran Dusi and Yunzhong Dusi to the south, and Nurgan Dusi to the east. Its jurisdiction covers the north of Langjuxu Mountain, including Beihai. vast area.

Its administrative seat is Beihai City, which has jurisdiction over the Kelan River Guard, Kelan Left Guard, Kelan Right Guard, Kelan Upper Guard, Kelan Lower Guard, Onan River Guard, Onan Left Guard, Onan Right Guard, and Onan. There are ten guards including Nanshangwei and Onanxiawei, as well as fifty thousand-household residences.

The area east of the Tula River, including Langjuxu Mountain and the Yinma River, is another most important part of Mobei and belongs to the jurisdiction of Yunzhongdu.

Shuofang Dusi is sandwiched between Yanran Dusi, Yunzhong Dusi, and Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Zhili. Although its jurisdiction is relatively broad, one-fifth of its area is desolate Gobi.

However, Zhu Gaoxu issued an order to place Heishui City under the jurisdiction of Shuofangdu and designated it as the administrative seat of Shuofangdu.

The Dusi is under the jurisdiction of Duyewei, Duyezuowei, Duyeyouwei, Jiuyuanwei, Jiuyuanzuowei, Jiuyuanyouwei, Jiuyuan Shangwei, Jiuyuan lowerwei, Yulongwei, Yulongzuowei, Yulong There are eleven guards including right guard, and 55 thousand households.

Apart from Heishui City, only Longcheng, Beihai City, and Lehe City are under construction among the six capital cities and their subordinate acropolis and Qianhusuo City. The remaining Jinwei City and Kunwu City are under construction. The construction of each guard city and Qianhusuo city will begin after the officers and soldiers of each capital's guard station take office.

"Any of the generals want to stay in the grassland?"

After Zhu Zhanyu finished speaking about the so-called important matters, he glanced at Song Ying and other generals and asked.

All the generals were silent when they heard the words, and no one answered.

"You will go back and ask the officers and soldiers in Qu, Tun, Sentry, etc. under their respective jurisdictions. If anyone is willing to stay and be incorporated into the guard station, he can be promoted at least two levels."

Zhu Zhanyu said again.

20 days ago, he wrote the memorial for setting up the capital and building cities and factories, and then reported it to Zhu Gaoxu in a four-hundred-mile expedited manner.

After Zhu Gaoxu received the memorial twelve days ago, after careful consideration, he issued an imperial edict two days later.

The audience of this imperial edict is all the subjects in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The common people felt that the Ming Dynasty was now extremely powerful, and it was natural and completely natural for the imperial court to manage the grasslands. Therefore, this edict just became an ordinary thing that the common people discussed after dinner.

In the eyes of scholars, this edict is of great historical significance and destined to go down in history, so it is called the "Edict on the Governance of the Grassland in the Three Years of Qianxi".

On the same day that Zhu Gaoxu promulgated the edict, he ordered the Military Staff Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office to write the document and sent a messenger four hundred miles away in an expedited manner. Ten days later, that is, yesterday, more than ten copies of the imperial edict were delivered to Zhu Zhanyu's hands.

Zhu Zhanyu thought Zhu Gaoxu would have a private message for him, but he asked the messenger three times and got no answers.

However, this did not affect Zhu Zhanyu's mood.Because a few days ago, he had just led a battalion to suppress a herdsmen riot of 3000 people.

half a month later.

July [-]th.

evening.

South bank of Yinma River.

"Commander, our troops have arrived at Yinma River as scheduled."

A scout walked quickly to Shi Heng, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and raised his hands in salute.

"understood."

Shi Heng nodded.

Then, he took out a pocket watch from his arms, opened it skillfully, glanced at it, and then turned sideways and ordered the herald next to him: "Command, everyone should dismount and rest for two quarters of an hour, and then choose a place to set up camp. "

"Yes."

The herald quickly took the order.

Shi Heng got off his horse and walked straight towards Yinma River.

His nephew and captain of the soldiers, Shi Biao, immediately jumped off his horse and followed quickly.

Shi Biao looked at the wide Yinma River and sighed: "Uncle, nephew, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor visited this place back then."

"Yes, when the Supreme Emperor arrived here when he was chasing the Tatar Grand Master Arutai, he ordered all the soldiers to dismount their horses and rest. When he saw thousands of horses drinking the river water to quench their thirst, he ordered the river to be renamed the Yinma River."

Shi Heng said while holding his long beard and looking at the Yinma River, which is more than 60 meters wide.

"Uncle, my nephew is a little confused. Why did you insist on applying to be transferred to the grassland despite all the objections?"

Shi Biao followed Shi Heng all the way from Kuanhewei and suffered a lot.

"Of course it's for promotion."

Shi Heng said with a slight smile.

He has been fond of bows and horses since he was a child. As an adult, he has a strange square face and a tall body. He is good at riding arrows and is especially good at using a broadsword.

His father died in the battle against the barbarians. Shi Heng and his younger brother Shi Bin were both raised by his uncle Shi Qinhu. However, Shi Qinhu had no children. According to the guards, Shi Heng was Shi Qinhu's direct cousin and needed to succeed Kuan. River Guards command the affairs.

Therefore, Shi Heng inherited his uncle's official position in his early years and served as the commander of Kuanhe Guard.

However, after ten years of working as a commanding officer, Shi Heng did not get a chance to be promoted.

Once when he was returning to his hometown to visit relatives, he passed by Taiyuan. Because he had nothing to do, he went to the temple to ask for a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that when he was 33 years old, as long as his beard grew to his chest, he would have good luck and become a third-rank official.

Last year, after Zhu Gaoxu wiped out the Oara and Tatars, he left five battalions to garrison the grasslands.

Shi Heng felt that he might be able to be promoted by virtue of his management skills in the grassland in the future, so he submitted an application to the Military Staff Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

I didn't expect much at first, but I didn't expect that in late June this year, Emperor Qianxi of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to set up a real tudusi in the grassland.

In this way, the Military Staff Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office not only agreed to Shi Heng's request, but also petitioned His Majesty the Emperor to promote a former military attaché of the Guard like Shi Heng who understood righteousness.

Today, Shi Heng is the commander of the Yinma River Guard, with a rank of third rank!
