| After the battle of Yunnan in the 14 th year of Hongwu,the chieftain of Mangbu was attached to the Ming Dynasty.The Ming Dynasty set up Mangbu guard in this place.The establishment of Mangbu guard caused the resistance of Mangbu chieftain.The Ming Dynasty abolished Mangbu guard and set up Bijie guard in Bijie post to manage the military garrison of the original Mangbu guard.Subsequently,the Ming Dynasty adjusted the administrative division of Mangbu and established the tribute of Mangbu chieftain.In addition to paying tribute,Mangbu chieftain was also responsible for the supply of military grain and post horses in Cengtai post and Baiya post of Bijie guard.At the beginning of Jiajing,the chieftain of Mangbu was attacked internally.The Ming court took the opportunity to abolish the rule of Mangbu chieftain,and set up Zhenxiong government,with four Zhang’guan departments:Weixin,Anjing,Huaide and Guihua.However,abolishing the rule of Mangbu chieftain triggered the continuous resistance of the chieftain forces,and finally the chieftain’s rule was restored.The political legacy of Mangbu’s diversion in Jiajing is the retention of four Zhangguan departments and the introduction of new prohibitions on the attack and replacement of chieftains.The establishment of the four Zhang’guan departments indicates that Zhenxiong chieftain is not a complete individual chieftain.During the Wanli period,An Yaochen,the prefect of Zhenxiong,began a series of wars to annex the four Zhang’guan departments.After the four Zhang’guan departments were destroyed,the administrative system implemented by Zhenxiong was the Huotou Baile system and the Jiuchejiuzong system.In order to prevent the war between chieftains,the Ming Court issued the prohibition of marriage and vendetta between chieftains,but these prohibitions were written.At the end of the Ming Dynasty,wars between chieftains around Mangbu emerged one after another.The governor of border provinces asked to adjust the administrative divisions designated during the Hongwu Period in order to control them nearby,but to no avail.Among them,the problems left over by the history of Dongchuan chieftain became the fuse of abolishing the rule of Zhenxiong chieftain during the reign of Yongzheng.In view of the problem of Dongchuan,E’ertai put forward suggestions on abolishing the rule of Wumeng chieftain and Dongchuan chieftain,and Yue Zhongqi,governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi,immediately put forward the idea of changing the chieftain of Zhenxiong.Under the layout of E’ertai,Wumeng,Zhenxiong and Dongchuan were successfully abolished the rule of chieftain.Although the officers and men of Sichuan and Yunnan and Guizhou did not cooperate in the process of abolishing the rule of chieftain,and the officials were mixed,Zhenxiong was finally able to abolish the rule of chieftain smoothly.The reason is that the situation around Zhenxiong has changed greatly since the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty.The surrounding chieftains have basically been abolished,and Zhenxiong is alone.Secondly,the proper layout of E’ertai and the support of the upper forces of Zhenxiong chieftain.Finally,since the establishment of the four Zhang’guan departments,the exchanges between ethnic groups have become more and more frequent.Coupled with the establishment of Zhenxiong school,Zhenxiong people have a high degree of recognition of the rule of officials. |
