Zhu Yijun smiled slightly and said, "Do you know what official I will grant him?"
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and said: "Since the reward comes from the superior, how dare I dare to speculate? However, if the emperor insists on asking, then I can only guess that Gao Yuan may be appointed to a new position in southern Xinjiang."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "You guessed it right, I do have this plan. Southern Xinjiang is close to our Ming Dynasty, but it is a situation where several vassal states stand side by side. The establishment of a new position must be unusual... According to your past
It seems that I don’t want to break the coexistence of vassals too early, so I will comply with your wishes and only set up a new position in Siam. What do you think?"
"Siam?" Gao Pragmatic nodded slightly, but then asked: "But I don't know what new position the emperor wants to create?"
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Then the King of Siam has no real power anyway, so the throne will not be held by him for the time being. As for the establishment of a new position, it is better to follow our Ming Dynasty practice and call it the Commander-in-Chief of Siam."
The Commander-in-Chief of Siam? That is to follow the "custom" of Annan. However, the Commander-in-Chief of Annan and the Commander-in-Chief of Siam are probably not the same thing, right?
The commander-in-chief of Annan was called the Mo Dynasty. Before Gao Pangshi sent troops to attack, for example, the Li Dynasty, the later Li Dynasty, etc., they called themselves the Emperor of Dai Viet internally. Of course, if they asked the Ming Dynasty for anything, they would
Calls himself "King Annan".
As for the Governor of Annan, it was during the civil strife in Annan that Mo Dengyong accepted the canonization for fear of the Ming Dynasty's intervention. However, he and his descendants actually still proclaimed themselves emperor internally.
Relatively speaking, Siam is not particularly obsessed with calling the emperor, and has always been called the king for a long time. But now the emperor wants to set up a governor in Siam. There is a problem here: if Annan is really used as a template, then this Siam
It seems that the Commander-in-Chief of Luo Du should be the King of Siam. He was called the King internally and the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, there are other troubles here. For example, the Ming Dynasty clearly recognized the "king" status of the King of Siam - according to the original history, Siam sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty 102 times, and the Ming Dynasty also sent envoys to return visits.
19 times.
So why is this a trouble? Because comparing Annan, we know that the Ming Dynasty did not recognize the status of the later "King of Annan", so after sending troops to threaten Mo Dengyong during the Jiajing period, it only conferred a capital on the ruler of Annan.
Commander-in-Chief - you can do whatever you want internally. Anyway, the Heavenly Kingdom only recognizes you as the Commander-in-Chief, and you can only call yourself Commander-in-Chief when you write to me.
Well now, the King of Siam still remains, but the Ming Emperor set up a Metropolitan Commander for Siam. Although Siam will definitely "not" object to it now, but...how to clarify this truth?
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's hard to clarify now. Anyway, I don't necessarily need to come in person for these details. As long as my strength is here, there will be great scholars who can argue for me.
Gao pragmatic quickly figured out the connection. He understood in his heart that the reason why Zhu Yijun did this may be viewed from two levels. The first level is that Zhu Yijun looked at it from the perspective of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, that is, he
He wanted to establish a more stable sphere of influence in Siam, and this Metropolitan Commander was the representative of the Ming Dynasty in this sphere.
At the same time, this was another kind of suppression of the King of Siam, letting him understand that although Ming Dynasty recognized his status as king, at critical moments, Ming Dynasty was fully capable of handling Siam's internal affairs.
The second level is simple. According to the previous conversation between the emperor and himself, there is no doubt that Southern Xinjiang is the private land of the Gao family. Since it is the private land of the Gao family, he is pragmatic and still wants to stay in the capital and be the prime minister and assistant.
, and at the same time, he is also responsible for the prince's education and even his future assistantship, so Southern Xinjiang has to be handed over to Gao Yuan, the eldest son who is highly pragmatic.
There is actually a bit of the emperor's personal bias here, because if Gao Pragmatic's previous setting is continued, it is actually most appropriate for Huang Zhiting to be the "Commissioner of Siam". After all, Huang Zhiting has been in charge of Siam for a long time, and she
She is also Gao Yuan's biological mother. When Gao Yuan was underage, it was actually more secure for her to serve as the commander-in-chief.
However, Gao pragmatism is Gao pragmatism, and Zhu Yijun is Zhu Yijun. Gao pragmatism does not have the shackles of Sichen Sichen, but Zhu Yijun does! In Zhu Yijun's view, it is your habit that Gao pragmatism loves to use his wife as a "remaining queen"
, I can understand it, after all, Huang Zhiting was born as a chieftain in Guangxi, and there is indeed a tradition of female chieftains in the local area, but it would be too much for you to ask me to give this position to a woman after establishing the Commander-in-Chief of Siam.
According to Zhu Yijun's thinking, it's not like there are no men in your Gao family. Not to mention that although your son has not yet become a man, he has already led troops in battles. Why can't he be the commander-in-chief? To say the least, even if Gao Gao
Yuan is still two or three years away from reaching adulthood, so you still have a lot of younger brothers! Even if I let one of your younger brothers serve as Commander-in-Chief for two or three years, it would be better than granting the first Commander-in-Chiefship to a woman, right?
Gao Pragmatic understood Zhu Yijun's thoughts after a brief change of thought. But to be honest, he didn't think that he needed to argue with the emperor about this matter. Anyway, regarding the matter in southern Xinjiang, the emperor would at most give him some advice.
In name, it is his pragmatism that really has the final say.
It can be said that as long as Gao Pragmatic passes down the order that Southern Xinjiang will be in charge of the acting, then as long as this person has some contact with him and the Gao family, he will definitely be able to take charge of the acting. This so-called "Siam Commander-in-Chief" is
It doesn't matter who is in charge.
As for why it is necessary to have some connection with the Gao family, this is a problem of the current social mentality. After all, it is still an era of family affairs, and Southern Xinjiang is obviously regarded by everyone as the foundation of the Gao family, and everyone will subconsciously think that it must be "
Only the "Gao family" can temporarily guard this foundation on Gao's behalf.
Seeing that Gao Pragmatic didn't reply for a long time, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you speak? What objections do you have to this arrangement?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Pingshi came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "No, I have no objection. I was just thinking that Gao Yuan was originally asked to go south to lead the troops just for training.
Exercise to let him know how an army operates. As for the real combat strategy, it is actually left to his aunt Liu Xin to decide... The situation is changing too fast now, and he is actually being asked to take charge so soon - at least in name.
Siam is a country, and I am worried about fostering his arrogance."
Zhu Yijun laughed when he heard this and said: "You, sometimes you just worry too much. As a young man, so what if you are a little arrogant? Do you think that everyone is as young and mature as you, and you go to play with a bunch of veterans when you are a kid?
Mind-set?"
Gao pragmatic pondered and shook his head, saying: "People must have pride, but they must not be arrogant."
"Okay, okay, I don't even understand what you have to worry about." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "Didn't you sneak away Huang Zhiting and Liu Xin in southern Xinjiang? This biological mother and aunt are both watching. Gao Yuan is really
If there's any sign of something bad happening, can't you just give him a warrant and scold him?
Seriously speaking, he is almost old enough to tie his hair, but he is just the commander-in-chief of Siam. You are still worried about this and that. Then do you want to recall that I was only ten years old when I inherited the throne?
Well, isn’t this also a great situation for the Wanli Zhongjue?”
Nonsense, that's because I'm here!
However, this was absolutely impossible to say, so Gao Pragmatic could only smile bitterly and said: "The emperor is blessed with a holy sky, and his ancestors are blessing him, and the country is in full swing. None of the above is what a dog can do.
Comparable?"
Zhu Yijun also knew that the topic would definitely not be able to continue here, so he changed the subject and said: "Now that we have finished talking about southern Xinjiang, let's go back and talk about the Western Expedition."
Gao pragmatic was a little surprised. He had already talked about the Western Expedition a lot, why did he have to go back and talk about it again? Zhu Yijun also saw Gao pragmatic's doubts, stretched out his hand and made a calming gesture, saying: "You don't want to
Jingsu, since you are so insistent, I have agreed, and naturally I will not bother you again and again about whether to continue the Western Expedition... I want to ask about something after the Western Expedition."
Gao Pingshi breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun pondered: "After the victory of the Western Expedition, how will the Western Region be organized? I mean, should we establish provinces, or just a capital?"
Of course, what Zhu Yijun called "setting up a Dusi" was not the kind of Dusi in the thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, but the border Dusi. The border Dusi system of the Ming Dynasty was a unique local administrative system, and its origins can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty.
The Dusi system.
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to maintain border security and strengthen the management of ethnic minorities, this system was adopted and improved. As an important administrative agency of the Ming Dynasty in border areas, the Dusi played a decisive role.
The core of the Ming Dynasty's frontier Dusi system lies in its multiple functions and wide scope of jurisdiction. Dusi is not only responsible for the political, economic and military affairs of the border areas, but also involves many aspects such as public security, taxation, military defense, and border trade in the border areas. Its management
The scope is usually based on a state or a county, and a Dusi official is responsible for overall management. These officials are directly appointed by the court and usually have rich management experience and outstanding abilities.
The official positions in the Border Division are clearly divided into three levels: chief, deputy and assistant. Officials at each level have different powers and responsibilities, but the common goal is to maintain the stability and security of the border areas. When they manage the border areas,
They should not only pay attention to local security and stability, but also strengthen the defense of border areas to prevent foreign enemy invasion. At the same time, they are also committed to promoting the economic development of border areas, strengthening the education and cultural construction of local people, and promoting the development of border areas.
comprehensive progress.
The implementation of the Border Dusi System has had a profound impact on border areas. First of all, it has made the administrative management of border areas more standardized and orderly, and improved administrative efficiency. Secondly, through measures such as building border walls and setting up border checkpoints, it has effectively strengthened the
It improves the defense capabilities of border areas and protects the security of border areas. Finally, the border capital system also promotes connections and exchanges between border areas and the interior, and strengthens ethnic unity and national unity.
In general, the Ming Dynasty's border system was an important and special local management system that integrated military and political affairs. It played an important role in maintaining border security, strengthening the management of ethnic minorities, and promoting the development and stability of border areas.
.
However, the above are only good aspects. The border system also has bad aspects.
The most obvious flaw lies in its highly centralized nature, which greatly limits local development in administrative, economic, military and other aspects.
The particularities of border areas are often ignored, which impacts local culture, customs and traditions. At the same time, because most of the officials are dispatched from the mainland, they often have insufficient understanding of the actual situation in border areas and find it difficult to make decisions that are in line with local realities.
.In addition, the border department system can easily lead to official corruption and abuse of power, which has a serious impact on the lives of local people.
Therefore, how to balance centralization and local autonomy, how to better respect and protect the particularity of border areas to avoid intensifying local conflicts between the central and local governments, while at the same time subtly and gradually localizing them, and how to improve the officials of the capital
The quality and ability of the Ming Dynasty were all problems that the Ming Dynasty needed to face and solve in its border governance after the victory of the Western Expedition.
Gao Pragmatic naturally considered these issues. He pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, how I think the Western Region will be organized depends on the specific situation. If after the remnant forces are eliminated or expelled, the local forces in the Western Region are willing to
To submit to the Ming Dynasty and become a part of the Ming Dynasty, then establishing a province is naturally the best choice.
This will not only better manage the Western Regions, but also promote exchanges between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and jointly promote the development of the Ming Dynasty. However, if the forces in the Western Regions still wait and see, or are only willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty in name, they actually still hope to retain a certain degree of autonomy.
, then... it is enough to set up a capital for the time being."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. It's just that the Western Region is vast, has many ethnic groups, and the situation is complicated. Although the establishment of provinces can strengthen the centralization of the court, it may also
It will cause a series of problems. Although the establishment of a department can avoid these problems, it may also lead to inconvenience and confusion in management."
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "The emperor's concerns are very true. In fact, I believe that whether it is to establish a province or a capital, the key is to find a way that can not only maintain the authority of the imperial court, but also temporarily avoid over-stimulating local forces. Otherwise, the two major
Before the treasure land is fully constructed, it will not be enough for our army to rely on local supplies.
If our army cannot rely on local supplies, but relies entirely on the support of the Central Plains, then the expense will be completely intolerable. Therefore, no matter whether the emperor finally decides to establish a province or a capital, he needs someone who can understand the emperor's good intentions and be able to
People with enough skills can take charge of the overall situation."
When Zhu Yijun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Rixin, Rixin, you understand my thoughts best. I am so lucky to have you to advise me!"
Gao Pingshi quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, you have given me the reward. I just fulfilled my duty."
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't be humble, no one in the world knows you better than me." After a pause, Zhu Yijun said thoughtfully: "As for the two conditions you mentioned... I really want it.
Speaking of which, in fact, you are the only one who is most suitable, but I can’t let you go to the Western Regions to eat sand. Tell me, who do you recommend?”
Gao pragmatically said: "Actually, the candidates are just there - the original members of the Western Expedition will do."
"Liu Wei?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "He is certainly capable of fighting, but when it comes to managing a place...are you sure you can use him?"
"No, no, no, the emperor misunderstood. I didn't mean to let Liu Wei govern the place. I meant that the entire civil and military team of the Western Expedition can be transferred directly to the Western Regions."
Gao pragmatic pointed to the location of Gansu on the big map and said: "Wang Tingzhuan was the same year as Chen, and he also served as a dog teacher, and he had a close relationship with me. Not only that, he also had a relationship with me before he went to Gansu to take up his post.
After a cordial conversation, I know very well my plans for the Western Regions... Since the emperor asked me about it today, I do not shy away from relatives when I am in office, so I recommend Wang Tingzhuan to transfer to the Western Regions in the future."
Zhu Yijun didn't doubt Gao Jingshi's loyalty, so he didn't care about "not avoiding relatives in internal promotions" - in fact, he didn't care much. Gao Jingshi said that he didn't avoid relatives in internal promotions, but in fact Wang Tingzhuan was not from his Gao family.
Relatives, at best they are just the same age and good friends.
It’s a joke, the Ming Dynasty recommended other people, and who recommended them were in the same year and the same sect? Gao Jingshi was not the only one who did this. What’s more, Gao Jingshi made it clear that Wang Tingzhuan just met the two requirements he had put forward before.
Zhu Yijun nodded, thought for a moment, and asked: "Since Wang Tingzhuan has gone, will the bear...bear patrol officer also be transferred there?"
Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "If the emperor approves, Xiong Tingbi is indeed suitable to be transferred to the Western Regions, because before he became the censor of Gansu Province, he served as a political watcher by my side for a period of time, and I am still optimistic about his abilities."
"Well, I remember you said the same thing when you recommended him to go to Gansu to be the censor." Zhu Yijun nodded, which was regarded as approval. But he soon came back to his senses and asked: "Hiss...
...Hey, you said it would be fine to set up a province or a capital, but looking at the people you recommended...don't you still plan to set up a province?"
Gao Pragmatic spread his hands and said: "It is best to establish a province if it can be established. The suggestions I just made are based on the best situation. As for what happens...then we have to make some changes."
Zhu Yijun asked: "How to change it? If the capital is set up, then he is a military attache. We can't let Wang Tingzhuan lower himself and become a mere capital."
"Of course it's not that flexible." Gao Pragmatic shook his head and said: "If we can only set up a capital, then we should learn from the methods of Shandong and Liaodong. Although we set up a capital in the Western Region, we will put it under the jurisdiction of Gansu."
Zhu Yijun shook his head: "How can this be done! Although Gansu is far away, the Western Regions are further away. If something happens in the Western Regions, Gansu will not have time to respond. And if the local generals in the Western Regions have to wait for a reply from Gansu before they can take action, they will be afraid of it.
It’s all cold.”
Gao pragmatic smiled slightly and said: "That's true, but... what if the governor of Gansu is asked to change his residence?"
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment and thought: "Hey, this is not impossible. It is indeed possible to temporarily change the governor of Gansu to be stationed in the Western Region. When the Western Region can establish its own province in the future, the governor of Gansu will be stationed back."
When he said this, he slapped the table and said: "Then let's leave this matter alone for now. It's best to establish a province directly. If that doesn't work, let Gansu take charge of it as well and let Wang Tingzhuan move to the Western Regions...
You can tell me where to move specifically when the time comes."
Gao Pragmatic raised his hands and said: "I obey your order."
