In the first year of Hongwu, on March 30, Emperor Qin Feng of Hongwu held a great court meeting in the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City.

More than 500 officials of the imperial court and military and political officials from various states gathered together.

When Emperor Hongwu arrived, the ministers shouted long live, a new dynasty and a new atmosphere.

Qin Feng ascended to the seat, and the hundred officials stood with the board in their arms.

Dequan, the governor of the Great Inner Palace, began to read out the edict of Emperor Qin Feng of Hongwu to reform the official system of the imperial court: "Fengtian carriers, the emperor's edict said: Great Qin opened the country, and a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived,......。 ”

One by one, the officials lowered their heads, their minds wandering, thinking about what kind of appointment they could get.

The Great Qin Dynasty appointed as follows: Xu Shu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Xun Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Xun You, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Jia, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Pang Tong, the Ministry of Works, Tian Feng, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Jia Xu, the political envoy of the General Administration, and Cheng Yu, the secretary of the Dali Temple, which is the new Jiuqing.

Kong Rong, a descendant of Confucius, was canonized as the "Yan Shenggong" and supervised the Guozijian. Hua Xin's support was meritorious and he was appointed as the political envoy of the left and Yang Biao as the political envoy of the right. The sentence was raised according to the procuratorial envoy Jiang Wan, and the salt envoy Si Feiyi.

There are also Tai Hospital, Tai Doctor Ling Hua Tuo, and Tai Doctor Cheng Zhang Zhongjing.

These key departments were replaced on a large scale with officials from the time of the Qin Kingdom.

And Wang Lang, Kuai Yue, Chen Gong, Guo Huai, Fu Xun, Wang Cang, Chen Lin, Zhang Ji, Yang Xiu, Xin Ping, Man Chong, Liu Ye and others are all deputy positions in various departments.

At the beginning, most of the officials of the old imperial court retired to secondary departments.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this is also imaginable, so although the old officials sighed, there was not much fluctuation.

In terms of the Ministry of Military Affairs: Zhao Yun is the general, Gao Shun is the hussar general, and Zhang Liao is the chariot general.

Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Xu Huang, and Zhang He were the generals of the Four Expeditions.

Wei Yan, Pang De, Li Dian, and Le Jin were the generals of the four towns.

Zhang Yan, Gao Lan, Chen Dao, and Wen were hired as Si'an generals.

Wang Shuang, Ji Ling, Ma Dai, and Zhou Cang were Siping generals.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu are the commanders of the Imperial Forest Army and the generals of Longwei.

Zang Ba, Liao Hua, Zhang Wei, Hou Cheng, Wei Xu, Lei Bo, Chen Lan, Zhang Yun and others. All of them are garrison generals and captains of various states.

Emperor Hongwu also established a new department in the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Navy, with Gan Ning as the Grand Governor, Tai Shici as the Deputy Governor, and Cai Mao as the General Weihai. He is in charge of inland and extra-river naval vessels.

Immediately followed, Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng. The new administrative regions of the Great Qin Dynasty were divided by the Ming edict: from north to south, from west to east, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou (the grassland Liaonan County was merged into Youzhou), Yongzhou (Hanzhong was temporarily organized as Yongzhou District), Sizhou, Jizhou, Gunzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, a total of 12 states.

In addition, the autonomous region Chenguo was subsumed into Youzhou, the Qiang Autonomous Region was subsumed into Liangzhou, and the Di Autonomous Region was subordinated to Yongzhou.

After the administrative region was clarified, important officials from each state were appointed: Fa Zheng was the assassin of Xuzhou, Dong Zhao was the political envoy, and Yan Xiang was the criminal officer.

Lu Su was the assassin of Sizhou, Han Hao was the political envoy, and he was recruited as the criminal officer.

Chen Qun is the assassin of Qingzhou, Feng Ji is the political envoy, and Gao Rou is the criminal officer.

Mi Zhu was the assassin of Gunzhou, Zhang Cheng was the political envoy, and Liu Fu was the criminal officer.

Chen Deng is the history of Yuzhou Thorn, and Kuai Liang is the history of Jingzhou Thorn. Tian Chou is the history of Liangzhou Thorn, Zhong Xuan is the history of Jizhou Thorn, Bulu is the history of Yangzhou Thorn, and Yi is the history of Yongzhou Thorn.

Assassinate the governor of the government, the political envoy is in charge of the people's livelihood, and the criminal officer is in charge of punishment. The division of labor is clear, the direct report is clear, and there is a way for the people to report to the official and appeal.

It took almost an hour for the edict to be read in its entirety.

Just when everyone thought about going back and studied the content of the edict, the chief manager of the Ouchi Dequan took out another edict: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I consider the country is not peaceful." There are Western Shu and Eastern Wu are still divided. The Military Aircraft Department was temporarily set up in the Inner Court: in charge of the edicts, counselors of the military aircraft, and counselors in important government affairs and prisons. When comparing the use of soldiers, the number of mountains, rivers, roads, soldiers, horses, money and food is examined. Advisers for strategic purposes. When the world was not at peace, civil and military officials were simplified, replaced, introduced, named, and conferred, as well as the preparation of gifts for pilgrims to foreign vassals. All the military divisions of the Military Aircraft Department are planning to play and prepare for consideration! Because of the use of troops in the west and east. The official office is outside, and there is a fear of leaking secrets. In particular, the military aircraft office duty room was set up on the west side of the Qianqing Palace Square in the inner court to deal with urgent military affairs and assist us in handling government affairs. ”

"Huh? Temporary? Value! Hearing this, the officials were puzzled, "Isn't it an official office?" It is not a formal court institution, but the responsibilities are so big, what considerations does the emperor have? Baiguan couldn't figure it out for a while.

The appearance of the Military Aircraft Department in later generations was originally to strengthen the imperial power. After Qin Feng knocked on this military aircraft department, he also felt very satisfied. During the long period of time when he did not ascend the throne, Qin Feng did not need to consider the overall affairs of the imperial court, he only needed to hand over the matter to the military advisors, and his own orders could reach the world.

The minister of the military aircraft department of the Great Qin State is still called the military division and also known as the auxiliary minister, and the subordinate officer under the military division is the military aircraft Zhang Jing. Xu Shu is the first assistant, and the rest are the second assistant.

This position seems to have a lot of power, but it is actually to convey the orders of Emperor Hongwu, if it is according to a position in later generations, it is either a secretary or an assistant. At the same time, the edict of the founding emperor Qin Feng clearly stated that it was temporary. In this way, the Great Qin Dynasty, regardless of the emperors of all generations, could remove this institution at any time, which could prevent the situation in later generations such as the cabinet monopolizing the power over the imperial power.

In this regard, in March of the first year of Hongwu, Qin Feng promulgated a decree on reform. In the past, although the hundred officials also had their own positions, they were also appointed by the previous dynasty, and their hearts were somewhat unsmooth. This time it's good, the system reform, the appointment of Emperor Hongwu, everyone really became the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty. The name is justified, and the morale of the officials is much higher, and they are more attentive to the Great Qin Dynasty.

Privately, Emperor Qin Feng summoned one of his earliest ministers, Zhou Shan, and gave him an edict. Let him reorganize the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce and reform it into the Huaxia Royal Chamber of Commerce. The government is the designated supplier of the army. It is precisely because it covers all the material supplies of the government and the army that the Royal Chamber of Commerce covers all industries, just like all the state-owned enterprises in later generations combined. Because of this, Qin Feng made money every day, and the country returned to Qin Feng's hands after turning around and removing the cost of materials. Ultimately, it's the state. As a result, the state spends less. As a result, the imperial power was strengthened and emboldened.

In addition, Qin Feng gave Hu Che'er an edict. Outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the black-clothed guards still have the right to enforce the law, assisting Qin Feng to supervise the people and officials from another angle.

In April, Qin Feng summoned the military division of the Military Aircraft Department in the imperial study.

Qin Feng sat on the dragon chair, and there was a red-faced woman Shi Xin Xianying recording on the side.

Qin Feng looked at the military advisor in the hall and said solemnly: "Great Qin State, you need to have your own national flag. ”

"Flag!"

The military advisors led by Xu Shu were suddenly a little confused. I understand the words a little bit, but when I think about it, I don't understand them at all.

Xu Shu said, "Your Majesty." What is a national flag? ”

It turned out that in the history of China, it was not until the late Qing Dynasty that the official national flag began to be promulgated, and the people of the world did not understand it at all during the Three Kingdoms period 1,800 years ago.

"The national flag is a kind of iconic flag of the country, a symbol of the country! When a country has a national flag, no matter where the people are, when they see the national flag, they will know that there are compatriots there, and that it is the territory of their own country. The country will be more cohesive! Qin Feng said loudly.

The national flag is an inevitable product of a country's growing sense of sovereignty. Qin Feng wants to let the contemporary people improve their national consciousness, all nationalities, all the people belong to one country, that is, the Great Qin State. Even if it's one day. Qin Feng's Great Qin State has declined, and the people with national consciousness will never allow the country to split.

After the military advisors understood. It is difficult to hide the admiration in the eyes. Jia Xu touched his beard and shouted excitedly: "The emperor is shengming." You are a saint! ”

Xun Yu's eyes were blazing, and he bowed and said, "Your Majesty." So what should my Great Qin flag look like? ”

Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand, and there were two little eunuchs who walked up to the hall holding a banner.

Everyone looked at it, on the red flag, there was a big seal with the word "Qin" in bright yellow, and a red and yellow five-clawed golden dragon surrounded.

"Red, don't forget jì, it is thousands of Great Qin warriors who paid their lives to have my Great Qin Kingdom!"

The female Shi Xin Xianying recorded: When the national flag of the Great Qin State appeared, the auxiliary ministers of the Military Aircraft Department were fanatical. In April of the first year of Hongwu, the Great Qin State had its own national flag. This national flag is the first national flag of the Great Qin State, and it is also the first national flag in China for thousands of years. Since then, the Great Qin State has a national flag, and Huaxia also has a national flag.

The military advisers of the Military Aircraft Department unanimously agreed that the national flag drawn by Emperor Hongwu himself was extremely representative. As a result, this Qin-character golden dragon red flag has become the banner representing the Great Qin State. The Qin character Xuanhei flag is the military flag of the Qin army.

Later, Qin Feng made the national emblem with the Taihe Hall as the pattern, representing the country's coat of arms and coats of arms, which is one of the national symbols and the symbol of the nation. On the important national documents and important edicts of the royal family, there is a jade seal of the royal family, and there must also be a large seal of the national emblem before it can take effect.

At this point, Emperor Hongwu Qin Feng began to put forward the concept of a large country: the Han in the Central Plains, the Xiongnu and Karasuma in the grassland, the Qiang and Di in the Northwest, including the Chenhan in the Chenguo, although our ethnic group is different, we are all one country.

In addition, Qin Feng, the Hongwu Emperor, instructed Guozijian, the central official school, to propose a study tour system, and those who have not preached in the border tribe for more than two years are not allowed to enter the Guozijian.

He also instructed the Hanlin Academy, in accordance with the domestic pedantic system of the Great Qin State, to call on the scholars of all townships to support the cultural education of the border tribes, and those who have been educated in the border tribes for more than two years will be given priority to be recruited into the Hanlin Academy.

These scholars of the Great Qin State were originally joined by the scholars of the Han Sect who had no way to advance. Most of the students who have joined now are students who have landed in the imperial examination, and they want to become officials through the pedantic system of the Great Qin State. And Qin Feng's practice of the rural pedantic system is to use the urgency of these people to become officials, so that they can eliminate illiteracy for thousands of people.

The results are outstanding, and the people who have been illiterate for thousands of years have a chance, and who doesn't want to know how to read? Therefore, I gradually got rid of illiteracy after studying hard.

After the implementation of this new system, a large number of people who wanted to become officials and wanted to realize their ideals went to the northwest and grasslands to propagate the culture of the Central Plains. Teach the border tribes who do not have written to learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese. Many years later, the Xiongnu, Karasuma, Qiang, and Di peoples, the predecessors of the multi-ethnic groups of later generations, abandoned their old and primitive systems and began to use Chinese rituals and music. These peoples did not have a formed script, so they began to use Chinese characters. These ethnic groups are mixed in the region and do not speak many languages. I found that after learning Chinese, I was able to communicate smoothly, so I learned Chinese. (To be continued......)
