Hereditary native officials and princes in the border areas were entrusted
I see many readers mentioning the issue of enfeoffment.
Let me ask, did China have enfeoffments until the end of the Qing Dynasty?
My answer is that there are, and there are many of them. Aren’t they just hereditary native officials? There were them even on the eve of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
Has the main character in this book been separated?
It can be said that there is none, because none of the best places in the Central Plains have been given out.
It can also be said that there is, because of the grasslands, southern Xinjiang has been enfeoffed a lot.
In these places, you will not enfeoff them, but you will still have to rule them and appoint hereditary local officials. Do you understand?
As mentioned earlier, where is the boundary of ability? This must be clarified.
Many readers think that the protagonist is omnipotent. There are hereditary native officials in Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei each have only a million people, almost all native officials in Guizhou, and barbarians account for the majority of the population in southern Sichuan, Yunnan and even Burma have to be included.
The North is under direct control and no one is enfeoffed...
How could you have such an idea? I was shocked.
In Yunnan, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the area where the protagonist entrusted his son was still dominated by hereditary native officials. Do you mean that he can rule with a tyrant, a chief with a foreign surname, but not a prince?
Is it because the degree of development in the south has not been considered?
During the Ming Dynasty, Hunan and Hubei were already established territories. Yunnan was still enfeoffed and given to adopted sons. Is that a good place?
Don't look at the maps of the past dynasties. Many places say Zhengzhou. The actual situation is twenty miles outside the county seat, where there is a tribe of barbarians who cannot understand the language.
Bozhou was Zhengzhou in the Tang Dynasty. What was the actual situation? The Luo family was the hereditary governor, but was later captured by the Yang family and remained hereditary until the late Ming Dynasty.
Zhengzhou was not "upright", with wild beasts everywhere and few household registrations. The imperial orders were only effective in the county town. When leaving the city, you had to discuss with the cave owner, chiefs, and leaders. This was very common in the ancient southwest.
The south was being developed step by step. Even if Long Aotian came, he would not be able to say exactly what he wanted, and he would still have to compromise when he should.
What was the situation inside Sun Quan's territory during the Three Kingdoms period? He wished he could conquer mountains and cross mountains every day.
During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the South was still in the form of "colonial points".
The map is drawn far and wide, and there is a certain county and a certain state. When you look at the household registration, there are dozens or hundreds of households, and it's just a fun idea.
At that time, it was not news that county magistrates and prefects were killed by barbarians...
As mentioned many times in this book, Jiangdong and Jiangxi were developed in the Tang Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty focused on the development of Hunan and Hubei. Especially at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of northern people moved southward and there was a need to support Xiangyang, so the development of Hunan and Hubei was accelerated.
This is where Yue Fei established his base.
The Yuan Dynasty incorporated Dali into its territory. In fact, the Nanzhao-Dali series of countries helped greatly in the development of Yunnan. They civilized many barbarians who were more backward than them and developed farming and textiles. Over the course of hundreds of years during the two Song Dynasties, they laid a profound foundation for Yunnan.
Base.
What was Yunnan like before the emergence of Nanzhao? In the Tang Dynasty, when Yaozhou was established, there were only 3,000 households, and Kunming was a barbaric land.
After Nanzhao captured Kunming, they found that there was nothing there, so they immigrated to settle the area, built cities and roads, and developed it for decades before it gradually prospered.
Outside of the two capitals of Nanzhao, the best place is Yongchang Town (on the line between Baoshan and Tengchong), and other places are not good.
After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, because Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei had achieved results in the development of previous dynasties, they began to develop the three provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and it could not be completed after three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty.
, the Qing Dynasty relay led to the current results.
In fact, even now, if you look at the southwest, there are still a lot of ethnic minority autonomous prefectures?
Can this be accomplished overnight?
Going back to the late Tang and Five Dynasties where the protagonist lived, not even southern Sichuan was fully developed. Places such as Yibin, Luzhou, and Zigong were still dominated by barbarians. Northern Sichuan and the Daba Mountain area in southern Hanzhong were even large tribal areas.
What are you thinking about?
Finally, let’s talk about Zhu Yuanzhang.
Some people say that the protagonist's enfeoffment is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's.
I said it's different.

Most of Lao Zhu's princes were granted titles in major cities in the interior.
Lao Shao's sons are all in the border areas. Even if these places are not enfeoffed, they are still ruled by Ji Sui, and they are hereditary by people with other surnames.
