    Of course, while achieving the "separation of ethnicity and religion" and "separation of politics and religion", if through the improvement of economic conditions, the originally relatively solid ethnic groups can become mobile and see the outside world, through more exchanges, it will be easier to understand them.  With a fair and benevolent heart, we will have a greater understanding of this policy and reduce obstacles.

    Religion, which arises from poverty and ignorance, will inevitably lose the soil to rely on as civilization evolves.  Civilization, including material civilization and spiritual civilization, is the best antidote.  The solution is to develop the economy and education.

    By grasping these two items, we will grasp the fundamental solution to ethnic issues.

    Therefore, Zhang Hanqing put a lot of effort into this, and believed that his painstaking efforts could be understood by the Central Committee. Moreover, relying on his influence from the Central Committee and the general trend of history, he solemnly said:  "certainly.

    Considering that Gansu is too large and difficult to manage, it is planned to be split into three provinces: Qinghai, Ningxia and the new Gansu.  These newly established provinces will divide some areas inhabited by ethnic minorities into autonomous counties and banners, giving these ethnic groups the opportunity to participate in government management.  "

    The reason why Ningxia did not use the title of autonomous region is that Zhang Hanqing was fed up with the confusing regional division methods of later generations: a district can be very large - an autonomous region at the same provincial level, or it can be very small - a municipal district, with administrative levels ranging from  There are provincial and ministerial levels, departmental levels, deputy departmental levels, and divisional levels. People who don¡¯t understand China¡¯s administrative system will be confused.

    "Chinese characters are broad and profound. Apart from this character, is there really nothing else that can replace it?"  Zhang Hanqing suddenly had a strong thought: If it is really difficult to replace him, then don't replace him.  Now, just define districts and counties as being on the same level. It is just a renaming when the urban population reaches a certain proportion.

    Ningxia was originally a very small area, but because Zhang Hanqing was not prepared to restore Inner Mongolia's organizational structure, he assigned the Alxa League to it.  Since Alxa is managed by Ningxia Province as a Mongolian Autonomous League, it is much larger than the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in official history.  From then on, Ningxia, Suiyuan, Chahar, and Rehe were collectively known as the "Four Provinces in Northern Saipei".

    In this way, a pattern is formed in which I am among you and you are among me.  Although there will inevitably be conflicts, if you want a slap in the face to start a wave of independence, you must first see whether other weaker ethnic groups will do it.  And if any party ignores the interests of weak ethnic groups, the more powerful government can confidently and forcefully intervene

    In Zhang Hanqing's vision, the name Mongolian Autonomous Province will be canceled at the appropriate time and become a province of the Republic of China in the full sense. Among its subordinate administrative agencies, some administrative levels with similar administrative levels can be established appropriately according to the situation.  , cities, autonomous leagues and autonomous prefectures.  In this way, at least in the sub-level administrative agencies of the Republic of China, the name "autonomous province" will never appear.  As for areas that exist as autonomous leagues or autonomous prefectures, the impact is much smaller, and it is basically difficult to stir up any waves.

    When Mongolia was still establishing an autonomous province, Zhang Hanqing did not like the term "Jiawei Autonomy", but he was forced to do so due to the situation.  In his view, autonomy is actually the indulgence of separatist tendencies.

    ¡°Perhaps the most significant thing the Manchus did to China was to turn Manchuria and Xinjiang into provinces.  At the beginning of the Republic of China, (Outer) Mongolia was changed into a province, and the philosophy of the big baking furnace was adopted, but it was a pity that this furnace did not bake well.  Investigating the reason, Zhang Hanqing believes that the local ethnic group has a numerical advantage.

    ¡°When people of the same ethnic group are around them, it is very easy to have a sense of identity and to stick together to deal with others. Even the Han people themselves have the problem of being excluded by their provincial origins.

    But when the number of other ethnic groups reaches a certain proportion, such as more than 10%, it will naturally demand the right to speak politically, and it has to take this demand into consideration.  Therefore, the best way to solve ethnic problems is to live together.  This is both a countermeasure and a historical necessity.  Like in later generations when transportation was developed, social mobility was extremely high, and ethnic minorities within a country could always live in the same place?  This statement is wrong.

    When this time comes, as long as the country can take advantage of the situation and allow all ethnic groups to live together, intermarry, and live together, that will be the time when all ethnic groups are truly equal.  Sometimes, some of the practices of our government are to remind others all the time: pay attention to ethnic issues, your ethnic group is different from others!

    ¡°For example, autonomous regions, autonomous prefectures, autonomous counties¡­that¡¯s all, but you still have to tell people by name that this is a certain ethnic group¡¯s autonomous region, state, or county. I¡¯m really afraid that it has no outside intentions.  Also, since we all live on this land, why should we name the area after a certain ethnic group?  Doesn¡¯t this create a strong mentality invisibly?

    Therefore, Zhang Hanqing decided that when defining provincial-level ethnic autonomous regions in the future, as long as the number of a certain ethnic group does not reach half of the total population of the entire region.?It must not be named by the name of an ethnic region, such as the current Mongolian Autonomous Province, entirely because Mongolians make up the majority.  When the Mongols account for less than half, the autonomous province will be abolished.

    Small-level regions can plan ethnic autonomous prefectures, counties, etc.  But similarly, when the number of ethnic minorities is less than half of the total population of the region, the country will withdraw from the name of autonomy and become administrative units in the full sense: cities and counties.  Even in areas where ethnic minority populations account for the majority, if a certain ethnic group does not account for the majority of ethnic minorities, they can only be named autonomous prefectures or counties, not autonomous prefectures or counties of certain ethnic groups.

    This kind of means that only the government is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. The Zhang family and his son were able to exclusively enjoy this treasure land in the Northeast in the name of "autonomy." He automatically forgot about this.

    But it is true that hypocrites are not as good as true villains.  In various ethnic areas, I can give appropriate policy preferences at certain times, but this can only be understood as the government's care and not as a matter of course.  The Chinese government has always cared too much about good looks. As a result, a group of ungrateful people have used their brains and clamored for independence and freedom every day, and even evolved into terrorists and separatist organizations, making the people  His face was pressed against the cold ass.

    This is all that can be done at present. Ethnic and religious matters are very complicated, but as long as we uphold a policy of "ethnic equality" and a legal spirit that violates the law, and as economic conditions continue to improve, deep-seated ethnic integration will surely come.  .

    Wasn¡¯t it like the Mongolian rebellion that he put down with force?  Facts have proved that only a small group of people can destroy national unity and split the motherland.  If these people are not killed, it will not be enough to make the people angry. If they are not killed, it will not be enough to shock the masses. If they are not killed, it is not enough to promote the overall situation of "ethnic equality."  The crimes of treason are all the same, so why only give a green light to a certain ethnic group?  That is the real national inequality!

    Of course, in areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, especially places like Qinghai and Ningxia, the proportion of Han people is not large.  In a sense, they are the real "minorities".  However, it is still relatively difficult for the Han people to integrate into the main local life circles. In fact, this will also be the case in later generations. There are religious reasons and historical reasons.

    In his best thinking, Zhang Hanqing could only allow a small group of people with ulterior motives to circulate in local governments at the prefectural and municipal levels.  After distributing them to different provinces or even different regions, their power is dispersed to a certain extent.

    As long as they cannot unite administratively and the government severely cracks down on some illegal and informal organizations, it will be difficult for the separatist forces to set off any wave or create any momentum.  In the future, there will be a system of serving officials in different places and the establishment of standing committees at all levels to restrict power. Unless he opposes the central government in any way, Zhang Hanqing has various means to deal with it.

    ¡°Centralization can be done within the party, and the same can be done for ethnic issues.

    "I have proposed Mr. Ma Qi to be the governor of Qinghai Province and Mr. Ma Tingxiang to be the governor of Ningxia Province. As the most important governor of Gansu Province in the northwest region, I have recommended Mr. Ma Fuxiang to take over." Zhang Hanqing extended an olive branch.

    There is no surprise when the first two people take office, because they have always had traditional influence in the region, and it would be difficult for others to convince them.  But in Gansu Province, where the number of Hui people is not large, Zhang Hanqing gave up the position of governor and gave it to a Hui people. It is very surprising - the young marshal talked about the dangers of ethnic division for a long time, but he was not afraid of the three  Will the horses reunite to form a united group?

    No need to be surprised, Zhang Hanqing is confident.

    First of all, with the influence of the three horses, no one can easily give orders without their agreement.  Rather than letting them become underground emperors, it is better to put their power on the bright side - they are still officials appointed by the Central Committee after all, and they cannot refuse the formal orders of the Central Committee - if in private, they  There are many ways to make it a dead letter.  The next few decrees will be implemented relatively smoothly, as long as they do not involve their fundamental interests.

    Secondly, in accordance with the principle of separation of military and political affairs, if they become provincial governors, it means that they must also give up their influence in the military.  Without the backing of force, Zhang Hanqing could take them down in seconds.  With the strong presence of the Northwest People's Army, the remnants and influence of these local armed forces and factions will disappear from the stage in a very short period of time.

    The most important thing is that Wang Shuhan, secretary of the Provincial Committee of the Mongolian Autonomous Province, who has successfully stabilized the situation in Mongolia, is on his way to Lanzhou.  He will serve as chairman of the administrative committee of the Northwest Bureau of the People's Party established by Zhang Hanqing, and together with Wang Yizhe will become Zhang Hanqing's right-hand man in politics.

    Because it is inconvenient to control the northwest from the northeast, it is also difficult for the "National Unification Council" to effectively exercise power.  Under such circumstances, it is extremely easy for powerful separatist forces to emerge, and the northwest already has a tradition of separatism.  Therefore, after obtaining Zhang Zuolin's consent, Wang Shuhan had the power to make temporary arrangements, which was enough to form effective supervision over the provinces.

    Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhang Hanqing dared to give up the military and political power he had obtained.  At that time, Guan Nei was still stuck in the "convention" of military governor and provincial governor, and there was no enlightenment at all under the rule of Feng Xi.  The reason why I say "give" is because if it were anyone else, Zhang Hanqing, who was the envoy to inspect Shaanxi and Gansu and also the governor of Gansu, would definitely also be the governor of Gansu.

    This time, the division of provinces is 8 years earlier than in the official history¡ª¡ª
