Just after the New Year, the city of Suzhou still maintains a festive atmosphere.In the mansion of King Wu Yue, the guards and subordinates are all wearing new clothes, and lanterns are hung in the corridors and courtyards everywhere, showing a new atmosphere.Early in the morning, before dawn, Zhao Ming was still asleep, and he was woken up by the princess, "Your Royal Highness, I want to convene all the adults early this morning, I want to see the envoy of His Royal Highness King Lu at noon, and I want to go to the eastern suburbs workshop in the afternoon~~~" Zhao Ming sat up from the bed and listened to the princess's words, as the lord of a feudal domain, he can be said to have a lot of opportunities, and he has no leisure for a moment.At this time, after the princess herself was dressed, she waved her hand and called softly, "Come in!"
”Outside the dormitory, a large group of palace maids walked in with trays one by one, on which were Zhao Ming's county king dragon robe, Yishan crown, jade belt, black leather boots, as well as breakfast and various toiletries.There was a fierce battle last night, Zhao Ming was a little tired in the morning, the palace maid helped him up, and then helped him put on the clothes of the county king, and helped Zhao Ming wash, the whole process, Zhao Ming just opened his hands and raised his feet.At the moment of dawn, not long after dawn, Zhao Ming was escorted by dozens of guards to the original Yamen of the Governor of the East China Sea.Although Zhao Ming is brave, his status is not what it used to be, and his personal safety is not only related to himself, but also affects the fate of hundreds of thousands of Wu Yueguo soldiers.Therefore, Zhao Ming is now very cautious, and there are guards everywhere he goes, and since the beginning of the army, Zhao Ming has indeed been assassinated by various forces, but they all ended in failure.At this time, Zhao Ming stopped in front of the governor's yamen, and the officials of the three divisions who came to participate in the deliberations, as well as the staff of the shogunate, had already arrived.It can be said that in addition to those who are fighting outside or have defensive tasks, it turns out that the high-level civil and military personnel of Donghai Town are basically here, a total of more than 40 people!
The people who arrived one step earlier were sitting in the council hall whispering and talking about the establishment of the domain, when a guard shouted: "Your Highness has arrived!"
”For a while, the hall suddenly quieted down, and I saw Zhao Ming walking quickly into the hall surrounded by guards with knives."
Greetings to Your Highness!"
Everyone immediately got up and welcomed Zhao Ming inside.Now Wu Yue Fan is already in an independent state, but he nominally respects Zhu Yujian, but the actual situation is that everyone knows very well in their hearts that Zhao Ming is their lord!
Zhao Ming smiled and waved his hand to invite everyone to sit down, and after everyone sat down, he smiled and said, "Since everyone has arrived, let's start!"
”After the maid finished serving the refreshments, she immediately withdrew, and the guards at the door closed the door and let everyone discuss behind closed doors.The hall fell silent, and Zhao Ming continued: "Today, everyone is called to discuss the matter, mainly because Gu was named the king of Wuyue by the imperial court, and King Gu is ready to establish a vassal state to rule the states and counties that are now controlled by the vassal government. ”At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were many real vassal states in the Ming Dynasty, they had their own soldiers and horses, and appointed the vast majority of officials, controlled local taxes, and controlled military and administrative powers, just like independent kingdoms.Later, the Ming Dynasty carried out the reduction of the feudal domain, and the power of the vassal state was seriously weakened after the Battle of Jingjing, and it has existed in name only.At this time, the Ming Dynasty's control over the court and local areas was much less than before, its authority was weakened, and the separatist forces in various places immediately rose up to form independent kingdoms.Now Xichuan Sun is expected to nominally submit to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it is an independent kingdom, not only the army does not accept the command, the laws and taxes are also different, and even its own branch is recruited.Now, what Zhao Ming is going to do is to build Jiangsu and Zhejiang into an independent vassal state nominally subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, just like Sun Kewang.Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and said to Qian Qianyi: "Mu Zhaigong, talk about it!"
”Before the meeting, Zhao Ming had informed his henchmen in advance and asked them to come up with a plan for building a domain.Qian Qianyi immediately got up, bowed his hand to everyone, and then said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the feudal government controls a vast territory, the shogunate has decided to remove the governor of the East China Sea, the Yamen, the three divisions of the East China Sea, as well as the governor and the three divisions of Zhejiang, and set up a road in the local area, and a government and six cao in the central government to rule Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”Now that Zhao Ming controls Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as many overseas territories, in order to avoid secession and form a strong force to contend with the feudal government, the shogunate decided to divide Zhejiang and Jiangdong after discussion, and turn the two provinces into several provinces, otherwise the strength of Zhejiang province will account for half of the feudal government, so how can the feudal government suppress and command the provincial government?
Therefore, the redivision of the existing territory into administrative areas is conducive to strengthening the control of the feudal government over the local area.Zhao Ming bowed his head and gestured, "Go on!"
Be clear!
”Qian Qianyi said: "After preliminary discussions, the shogunate believes that the area under its current control can be divided into one capital, five provinces and three governors.One Beijing is Wang Jing, which governs Hangzhou, Shaoxing and Yanzhou.The five provinces are Jiangdong Province, which has jurisdiction over Zhenjiang, Changzhou and Suzhou, North Zhejiang Province, Huzhou, Jiaxing and Songjiang, Zhejiang East Province, Ningbo, Taizhou, Zhoushan and other islands.West Zhejiang Province, Hengzhou, Jinhua two provinces, South Zhejiang Province, Wenzhou, Chuzhou two provinces.The three Viceroyalty Governorates are the Viceroyalty of Taiwan, the Viceroyalty of Luzon and the Viceroyalty of New Mingzhou. ”Zhao Ming asked: "Do you have any opinions on this?"
”Everyone nodded, after the establishment of the vassal state, it was impossible for a single province to account for half of the vassal state, so everyone had no opinion on the redivision of the administrative region.Zhao Ming then signaled, and Qian Qianyi continued: "In the central government, the shogunate was renamed the parliamentary government, and there were six Cao, the Constitution Yuan, and the Counselor Yuan.The parliamentary government shall have one person in charge of the council and six senators, who shall be served by the six Cao judgments and judges.The functions of the government, the six Cao, the Constitutional Yuan, and the Imperial Court can be benchmarked against the Cabinet, the Six Ministries, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”Zhao Ming wanted to establish an independent feudal state, so he could only find the existing feudal states for reference, and he borrowed some names and structures from Korea.At this time, Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "The leader of the discussion will be served by Chen Mingyu, the judge of Hu Cao, and the judge of Gong Cao Chen Yujie, the judge of Cao Xu Fuyuan, the judge of Cao Feng Jingdi, the judge of Bing Cao Chen Zilong, the judge of Licao Dai Zhijun, and the judge of Bing Ship Gu Yanwu will serve as the senator.Qian Qianyi served as the secretary of the court, and Huang Zongxi served as the secretary of the court. ”This arrangement, in fact, has not changed much from before, but it should be named, and everyone who was named immediately came out to salute, "Your Highness Xie cultivates!"
”At this time, Zhao Ming said again: "After talking about administrative matters, let's talk about the military."
The meaning of the lonely king is to set up the governor of the five armies, and upgrade the five armies to the five armies in the left and right, front and back, with a total of 30,000 soldiers per army, and then change the government soldiers to county soldiers, who are responsible for garrisoning the place and assisting the five armies in combat. ”()
