The northeast region has been part of the mainland territory since ancient times, and since the Qin Dynasty, the power has penetrated deep into the Liaodong Peninsula. During the Han Dynasty, it ruled most of the Korean Peninsula. By the time of the Sui Dynasty, there was more contact with ethnic minorities in the northeast. During the Tang Dynasty, the minority regime established in the northeast region had already been annexed to the Tang Dynasty, and the policy of restraint at that time was the policy of the Tang Dynasty towards the ethnic minorities in the northeast. During the Yuan Dynasty, Liaoyang Province was established in the northeast. This is the time to bring the whole northeast into the map. The Ming Dynasty had the Nuer Gandusi Institution, and the Qing Dynasty had Heilongjiang Generals, Jilin Generals, and Shengjing Generals.
In terms of time, the longest ruler of the northeast was the Qing Dynasty. Because this is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty and a frontier area. This made the Qing court attach great importance to this place. This is also one of the reasons why the Qing Dynasty ruled the northeast frontier region very effectively. In the eyes of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, this was the land of Longxing, which could not be invaded by other countries, and later the Battle of Yaksa. The Qing Dynasty defeated Tsarist Russia and signed the Treaty of Nebuchu with Tsarist Russia, thus delineating the eastern boundary. The stability of the borders of the northeast region and the location of sovereignty are ensured.
Judging from the three generals' palaces, they were appointed by the Qing court and held by one of the Eight Banners of the Manchus. Under the administration of the General's Mansion, there were not only Han and Manchus, but also other ethnic groups. Since Heilongjiang bordered Tsarist Russia the most, it also became a place of Russian invasion. Judging from the functions of the three generals' offices, they were responsible for the military defense of the northeast region. However, the status of General Shengjing was even higher than the other two, after all, the Qing court here attached more importance to it and the management system was more strict. However, General Shengjing could only administer the Manchus in Liaoning, where the Han were administered by Fengtian Fu Yin, who was under the control of General Shengjing.
General Heilongjiang and General Jilin were the forward positions against Tsarist Russia, and their military position was relatively important. In order to deal with the threat posed by Tsarist Russia, the Qing Dynasty transformed the Heilongjiang generals and established a powerful military force. In addition to this, they also served as tributary affairs for the indigenous people, such as General Jilin, which was responsible for the tributary affairs of the indigenous people of Sakhalin Island. General Shengjing served as a tributary of the Joseon Dynasty.
From the perspective of the ruling population of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty's statistics on the population of the northeast are the most comprehensive in all dynasties. In the early Qing Dynasty, the population of the northeast was divided into four people, good, slave, and lowly. The four peoples include the military, the civilians, the craftsmen, and the stove. During the Yongzheng period, the untouchables were changed to good books. In the early Qing Dynasty, according to the Ming Dynasty system, it was compiled and reviewed once every three years. The population management system, from pluralism to monolithicization, witnessed the changes in the Qing Dynasty's rule over the northeast. According to historical statistics, in 1644, the population of the northeast was 400,000, in 1840, the population of the northeast reached more than 3 million, and in 1911, it reached a population of nearly 20 million.
Learn about the Qing Dynasty's control of the northeast from the Zhenshu system. Since the defeat of Tsarist Russia, a system of town fighting has emerged in the northeast. Prior to this, the Qing Dynasty was busy entering the customs, busy unifying the world, and the northeast region was still ruled by a policy of bondage. Until the invasion of Tsarist Russia, the situation here changed. In 1683, Kangxi accepted the suggestion of General Bahai to establish Mucheng in Heilongjiang and garrison troops here. Sabusu was the first heilongjiang general, and after that, the status of the heilongjiang general was continuously improved, and its role was to guard the frontier and resist the invasion of Tsarist Russia.
Under the jurisdiction of the three generals in the northeast, each general's mansion has its own zhenshu district. In each strategic place, the Qing Dynasty would establish corresponding military facilities, and there would be garrisons, and a certain number of people would be moved in, and each place could be interconnected. For example, General Jilin has Hunchun in the southeast, Ningguta in the northeast, Mudanjiang in the northeast, the three surnames in the northeast, which controls the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and Alchukha in the north direction, which controls the middle reaches of the Songhua River. The Heilongjiang general Yaohun in the north controlled the northern and southern regions of Heilongjiang, Morgen controlled the Nenjiang River Basin, and Hulunbuir in the northwest controlled the northwest grassland area.
From these, it can be seen that the Qing Dynasty constantly improved the post station system in the northeast. And these towns, combined with the Karen system, can not only stabilize the northeast, but also promote the connection between the regions. Unfortunately, in the early Qing Dynasty, the Qing court restricted the entry of Han Chinese into the northeast, and the Manchus and other ethnic groups entered the interior of the Central Plains, which had a certain impact on the population of the northeast, and until the later period, a large number of people migrated to the northeast. Through various means, the Qing Dynasty ensured the circulation of materials, food, information, and population in various places. This played a key role in the Qing Dynasty's control of the northeast region. From the perspective of successive dynasties, we cannot underestimate the control of the northeast, and he is stronger than the control of any other dynasty.
