Division of Traditional Borders in Ming Dynasty

At that time, everyone's small families were very unhappy, and Beijing and the thirteen provinces in the north and south were natural. The Popular Romance of the History of firewood is an article written by adherents of the Ming Dynasty who miss the Taiping period of Wanli after the demise of the Ming Dynasty. There is a "two Beijing and thirteen provinces", which you may have heard of. This is the official administrative division of the core territory of the Ming Dynasty. "Two Beijing" refers to two capital-administered areas, namely, North and South Zhili, with Beijing and Nanjing as the centers respectively, and North Zhili is probably Hebei and now. South Zhili is Jiangsu and Anhui provinces plus Shanghai. What about thirteen provinces? First of all, this province is actually commonly known by the people. The official administrative division of the Ming Dynasty was not a province, but a province was established by the Yuan Dynasty. But Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the power to save the province in the early years of Hongwu. The provincial power of the Ming Dynasty was divided into three parts: administration, military and prison, which were handed over to Cheng Xuan's political department and punishment department respectively. They were all three departments, so the "political department and justice department" of the Ming Dynasty was basically a province. But if you look at the map of the Ming Dynasty, you will find there are sixteen pieces. Isn't "two Beijing and thirteen provinces" fifteen yuan? What's going on? Actually, this is a very special case: Shandong governs Liaoning. Because the two places are not bordered, but across the sea, they look like two pieces. But at that time, Liaoning was a very special case. Although nominally owned by the Shandong Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is generally not managed by Shandong, because Liaoning belongs to the military system and Liaodong. By the Ming dynasty, although the provincial branch was divided into three divisions, there were thirteen ministries and commissions and sixteen ministries and commissions. Where are the three extra divisions? Established separately in the northern border areas, it is Wanquan Dusi in northern Zhili (for Xuanfuwei), Daning Dusi (for Baoding) and Liaodong Dusi in Shandong. By the way, this is a "formal organizational system", and some slaves with the nature of prisoners, such as Gandus, Dogandus and Uszang, are not included. This actually belongs to the "local official". For example, the northeast, north of Liaoning and the Ming Dynasty were basically detained. There is no formal organization and management, and the northeast area north of Liaodong, which is freezing in the cold, is basically some fishing and hunting peoples (what? Koguryo (Jurchen) lived before The Journey to the West in the late Qing Dynasty. "Two Beijing and Thirteen Provinces" belong to the core area of the Ming Dynasty, which is the traditional "Han land" of later generations. By the way, aside from the topic, in fact, Nanjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty at first, and Beijing had no capital status, so there was no North Zhili. What was the organizational system at that time? Is this the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Hebei? No, ask Beiping and other places to undertake propaganda and deployment. It took about 20 years from Yongle to Xuande (1407-1427). Vietnam was annexed by the Ming Dynasty, so there were 14 ministries and commissions in this period, with an extra "",but there was no control here and it was later separated. When the early Ming dynasty was very powerful, it controlled a large area outside the Great Wall. After the "Civil Fort Change", the situation in the whole country has declined, but it can basically control the situation of "two Beijing and thirteen provinces".
