The day after Xu Guo and Nurhaci returned to Beijing, Zhu Yiliu convened a court meeting.

However, there were not many ministers participating in the court meeting this time, only those with third ranks or above.

The subject of the court discussion was of course the issue of the reform of ethnic minorities in the southwest, that is, the abolition of the chieftain system.

Since Xu Guo and Nurhaci have returned to Beijing, it proves that the reform must have achieved results.

Otherwise, with Xu Guo's character, he would never give up until he achieved his goal. Nurhaci actually mentioned it slightly yesterday.

Indeed, with the nearly two years of efforts of Xu State, although the chieftain system of the ethnic minorities in the southwest has not been completely abolished, it is no longer the dominant model.

Instead, it was changed to the land and return to the current.

That is, a prefecture, department, prefecture and county are established, and a migrant official with a certain term is dispatched to manage it.

The chieftains, that is, the leaders of the original nation, and the officials were appointed by the central government of the Ming Dynasty.

The transformation of land and return to the current was conducive to eliminating the backwardness of the chieftain system and at the same time strengthening the Ming Dynasty's rule over the areas where ethnic minorities live in the southwest.

In fact, the policy of changing land and returning to the land was implemented since the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It was only because the Ming government's national strength was gradually weakening and it was unable to control the vast ethnic minority areas. It had to cooperate with local officials to impose bans and control local residents.

The disadvantages of the chieftain system are becoming increasingly obvious and the contradictions are becoming increasingly greater. However, the Ming Dynasty is on a downward path, so the effectiveness of changing soil and returning to the flow has not been obvious.

Many officials in the Ming Dynasty had long been aware of this problem, but their strength did not allow it, so they kept dragging it on.

In fact, this is also a border problem. There are many peasant uprisings that broke out in the southwest ethnic minorities.

It was just that the Mongolians were not as harmful as the Mongolians, so the border troubles of the Ming Dynasty were always in the north, and the rise of the Jurchens was only a matter of decades later.

But in fact, the problem of the southwest border has always existed, but it did not seriously damage the Ming Dynasty's vitality. The most powerful time was the Bozhou Rebellion.

In order to prevent the Bozhou Rebellion, Zhu Yiliu noticed this problem as soon as he ascended the throne.

The first time, the Grand Secretary of Xu Guo was sent to appease and suppress the rebellion of Jinchuan, and at the same time, the ethnic minorities in the southwest were reorganized, aiming to abolish the chieftain system.

It took two years to go there.

Midway through, Nurhaci was sent to support him.

The Bozhou Rebellion must have been successfully avoided, but this is definitely not Zhu Yiliu's main purpose.

His purpose was to abolish the chieftain system and basically complete the reform of changing land and returning to the current situation.

Xu Guo lived up to his mission. From his report statement, we can see that the task has been basically completed.

Of course, I can only say that the task is basically completed.

After all, there are many ethnic minorities in the southwest and the situation is extremely complicated. It is definitely unrealistic to try to complete the reforms in two years, so it is just a decision.

How to implement the rest of the matters, it still has to be handed over to the local government. Xu Guo cannot supervise several provinces there for many years.

For Xu Guo, he is probably the only one who knows the hardships and sadness of the past two years.

In any case, he should be very good at abolishing the chieftain system and replacing it with the land and returning to the current situation.

Including Nurhaci who later went to support him, I believe he also has a certain understanding of the transformation of land and return to the land.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yiliu must appoint him as the marshal to conquer the marshal.

Dealing with the problem of ethnic minorities in the southwest can be regarded as a good "template".

After the formal procedures were completed in the court, Zhu Yiliu specially left behind Xu Guo and Nurhaci, as well as several cabinet ministers in the cabinet, as well as Yang Wei, Minister of Personnel.

First, the State of Jin Xu was declared as the Crown Prince Taibao, and Nurhaci of Jin was the Left Minister of War.

This is a commendation to both of them.

Subsequently, Zhu Yiliu officially appointed Nurhaci as the Grand Marshal of the Conquest.

The cabinet members who were headed by Shen Shi had known about it before, but Nurhaci did not come back so he did not issue an edict.

This appointment made the ministers who stayed behind clearly know that Nurhaci would be valued again, as if he no longer regarded him as a Manchu.

At the same time, Zhu Yiliu also appointed the San Niangzi as the general of the expedition to assist Nurhaci in completing this great journey.

That is to say, the two leaders performing this task are from ethnic minorities.

On the one hand, Zhu Yiliu was determined to make such arrangements.

On the other hand, it is also because Nurhaci and the third lady do have military talents.

The cabinet has already passed the suffocation. Of course, they have no objection. The only one who just knew about this was Xu Guo, but Xu Guo naturally would not object at this time.

Moreover, although Xu Guo has returned, he is still a member of the cabinet and is still given the title of Prince Taibao, but he already has the desire to return to his hometown.

Xu Guo’s qualifications can be said to be the oldest, but the first assistant is Shen Shixing, and the second assistant is theoretically him, but in fact, Wang Xijue, and he is also begging for bones to return home.

Anyway, Xu Guo thought so in his heart.

At first he went to the southwest, and then he wanted to return to his hometown after he returned to his hometown.

It is the time to return to your hometown at this time.

Retreat bravely in the rapids.

Although I haven't made it clear to the emperor yet, I have actually made up my mind and have just waited for a time to submit my resignation, so the statement will not be mixed.

Besides, the emperor's decision is naturally the case with the emperor's reasons, and no one can refute it.

As for Yang Wei, the Minister of Personnel, when Zhu Yiliu announced his appointment, he only glanced at Shen Shixing. Seeing that Shen Shixing nodded slightly and said nothing, he actually understood it, and of course he had no objection.

In this way, the decision on appointing Nurhaci and the third lady was passed smoothly.

At this time, Wu Dui went to the Tumote tribe, and Nurhaci was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of War. The minister who was headed by Shen Shi seemed to have seen some signs.

All at once thought, the next Minister of War would not be Manchu Nurhaci? If such an important position was really handed over to an ethnic minority, it would be a bit worrying!

However, after thinking about it, Nurhaci's Jurchens had been transformed into Manchus, and the army of the far Jurchens has been taken back and controlled by Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang. It seems that Nurhaci is unlikely to achieve anything.

What if he did it for him to do it for the Minister of War?

In this way, there seems to be nothing to worry about.

Nurhaci's younger brother Shurhaqi is still good at taking charge of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at a young age?

Such a powerful Korqin tribe has been conquered by the emperor for several months, so who else can make a big wave?

It can be said that Nurhaci was not the emperor's opponent from beginning to end, otherwise he would not have become a master and apprentice.

After the conversation with several ministers, Zhu Yiliu specially asked Nurhaci to follow him.

I feel like there are still some things I didn't say yesterday.

So I returned to Donghunting Pavilion again.

Zhu Yili asked bluntly: "After experiencing so many things, do you still have the idea of ​​establishing a regime independent of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Master, there is no more." Nurhaci replied confidently.

"Then why did you seem unhappy when you heard your third brother take charge of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region yesterday?" Zhu Yiliu did not turn around or stumble.
