The vassal state was a common political form in ancient China. Zhou Dynasty When, King of Zhou The enfeoffment system was implemented, and the royal nobles and meritorious officials were given the title of "vassals" to govern the land of the Zhou Dynasty. And the countries managed by these princes, such as Qin, Zhao Qi State And so on are vassal states.
These princes have the right to develop independently on the land, and can adapt to the needs of development and formulate relevant economic, political, cultural and foreign policies. Of course, they also have the five major obligations of obeying orders, guarding the territory, fighting for the Zhou Dynasty, paying taxes and tribute, and presenting themselves to the Emperor.
The Book of Songs · Beishan 》The idea of land ownership originated from the idea that "under Pu Tian, there is no royal land; leading the land, there is no royal subject".
Later, the Central Plains Dynasty introduced the concept of "vassal state" into the diplomatic system. At this time, the "vassal states" were not only the vassals in the Central Plains, but also abroad. At this time, the vassal state was divided into internal and external states.
here we are Qing Dynasty The number of foreign vassal states has become quite large. The "Unified Annals of the Qing Dynasty" said that "foreign vassals belong to countries, seven out of fifty, and countries that pay tribute, one out of thirty." It can be seen that during the Qing Dynasty, China established vassal relations with many countries. These vassal states can maintain their sovereignty, but they have to submit to the Qing Dynasty, accept the title of the Qing Dynasty, and act as a barrier to the Qing Dynasty. In addition, vassal states such as Korea, Siam (Thailand) and Myanmar also sent envoys to China on a regular basis to report on their duties and pay tribute to the Qing emperor. Of course, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would also give some rewards to the vassal states to maintain a bilateral interaction.

Vassal state

The vassal state is the joint name of the vassal state and the vassal state Liu Bang The name "vassal state" came into being, dynastic title of Liu Bang Liu Bang was set around the central government, Gyeonggi Region, that is, the area around the capital County system Is the system of the Qin Dynasty; In remote places, the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty was practiced, and some kingdoms were still granted away. This is one dynasty and two systems, which can also be regarded as "one dynasty and two systems". So these countries around the capital are called vassals. Why is it called "Fan"? Fences are fences, which means that you defend the central place like a fence, so these princes are called "vassals". They returned to their own kingdoms, called "Guifan", also called "Zhiguo". These enfeoffment kingdoms were independent, with their own sovereignty and financial resources.

Dependent country

The establishment of the country of dependency starts from the warring states For example, there is the word "belonging to a state" in the inscription of Qin weapons. Later, he changed his name from Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, to a vassal state. According to the record in Volume 6 of the Book of Han, "The History of Emperor Wu", in the autumn of the second year of Yuanshou (121 BC), "the King Kunxie of the Huns killed the King Tu, and gathered more than 40000 people to surrender him and set up five vassals." Yan Shigu, in Volume 6 of the Book of Han, "The History of Emperor Wu", noted, "Anyone who said that he belonged to the state, but kept his name, belonged to the Han Dynasty, so he was called a vassals." Volume 118 of the Book of the Later Han, "Official Records · Five Hundred Officials" It is also said: "The country belongs to a county, which is located far away from the county. If the county difference is small, the name of the county is given." It can be seen that "the country belongs to" is an administrative system set up by the central dynasty to settle the surrendered frontier ethnic groups, which is based on the border counties. "It is the same level as the county that" governs the barbarians who surrender ". From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Yuanshou Second Year (121 BC) By the end of the Han Dynasty, the counties in the north, west and east were Ding'an, Tianshui, Shangjun, Xihe Wuyuan , Jincheng, Beidi Qianwei Guanghan Shujun Zhangye Juyan , Liaodong and other counties have territorial settings, the big ones have five or six cities, and the small ones have one or two cities. A major county has a remote county as its vassal state, such as Guanghan Northern Duwei It is a vassal state of Guanghan, and is located in Shujun Western Duwei Governed by Shu Prefecture , Qianwei was set as a vassal state under the jurisdiction of the Southern Duwei, and Liaodong was set as a vassal state under the jurisdiction of the Eastern and Western Duwei. A small county is located in its own country without another name, such as qiuci The vassal state only exists as a county of Shangjun.
There are captains, officials, marquises, and thousands of officials in the subordinate countries Nine Translation Orders There are also officials who belong to the country, such as the country's long history, the country's Jiqu, and the country's household. The officials are Han people or leaders of Hu and Qiang people.

North Korea

from Western Han Dynasty At first, the countries on the Korean Peninsula were China's subsidiaries. Before the rise of the Qing Dynasty, Korea and the Ming Dynasty maintained a traditional close relationship (in the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent envoys to Korea to give seals, thus establishing the suzerain vassal relationship between the two countries). In 1636, Huang Taiji led a new expedition to Korea and captured Seoul, Kyoto, Korea. When the country was dying, King Li Ri of Korea had no choice but to accept the conditions of the Qing army to surrender, stop using the Ming Dynasty's year title, cut off all exchanges with the Ming Dynasty, and regarded the Qing Dynasty as the patriarch. Since the Qing Dynasty established its capital in Beijing, the diplomatic envoys of both sides have been communicating constantly every year. On the Korean side, in addition to the four fixed tribute envoys of He Dongzhi, He Zhengshuo, He Shengjie and Nasui coins every year, there are also a variety of irregular envoys coming to China. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan pointed its aggression at North Korea. In January 1876, Japan, on the one hand, sent an expeditionary force to invade Korea and coerce it to enter into a contract for trade. On the other hand, send people to China to negotiate. At that time, the Premier's Yamen replied: China has never interfered in the internal affairs and diplomacy of North Korea. Japan took advantage of this to say that China did not concern itself with Korean affairs, and the so-called "dependent country" was just an empty name. Japan was determined to treat North Korea as an "independent state", so on February 26, 1876, Japan forced North Korea to sign the "Jianghua Treaty" between Korea and Japan. The "Jianghua Treaty" clearly exposed Japan's ambition to exclude China's "suzerainty" in Korea. Since then, Japan has accelerated its invasion of Korea, producing the "Renwu Mutiny" in 1882 and the "Jiashen Coup" in 1884. "Although the rapid action of the Qing army calmed down the two incidents, Japan took advantage of this to force Korea to sign the Incheon Treaty of 1882 and the Seoul Treaty of 1885, expanding Japan's invasion rights in Korea.
Yuan Shikai always believed that Japan was China's biggest enemy. During his tenure as Minister of Commerce in North Korea, he advocated in Shangli Hongzhang's "On the Overall Situation of Korea" that he resolutely fight against Japan for North Korea. He said: "Vietnam and Myanmar are in the remote sea, North Korea is close to the elbow, the north is close to Shengjing, the west is close to the throat of Tianjin, and without North Korea, there is no east wall... So Myanmar can accommodate, Vietnam can ease, and North Korea can never be lost." Yuan Shikai's understanding of the importance of North Korea to China's national security is profound and profound, and far exceeds people's expectations. After the War of 1894-1895, the international situation changed greatly. Yuan Shikai had a new understanding of national security and a stronger sense of crisis. In the eighth year of Guangxu's reign (1882), the Korean "Renwu mutiny" took place, and Japan sent warships to Incheon. Wu Changqing was ordered to support the Korean army to pacify the rebellion, so as to prevent Japan from taking the opportunity to launch an aggressive war. Zhang Jian went to Seoul with Wu Changqing's army to draft the "Outline of Korean Affairs" for Wu Changqing. At the same time, Zhang Jian also wrote the "Six Strategies for Dealing with the Aftermath of Korea" to propose to the Qing government to abolish the Kingdom of Korea and set up prefectures and counties. At the same time, the ruler of the Korean Grand Courtyard also secretly suggested that the Qing government should follow the example of the Yuan Dynasty and set up a province and a prison state in Korea, "so that the country can protect itself and the people can pacify themselves". The ruler of the Korean Grand Courtyard is the biological father of the king of Korea. Deng Chengxiu, Zhang Peilun and other members of the Qingliu Party advocated to adopt a tough policy towards Japan in order to safeguard the vassals of Ryukyu, Korea and other countries and take the opportunity to end the Ryukyu case.
Since then, China has started to garrison troops in the DPRK, reaffirmed that "the DPRK will always be a vassal", helped the DPRK train a new army, carried out the "Westernization Movement", and strengthened the power of the suzerain state. However, the Qing government was hesitant about whether North Korea should follow Xinjiang and Taiwan to set up provinces, and Li Hongzhang denounced Zhang Jian's proposal as "eventful". Later, China adopted the policy of "peaceful development" to internationalize and neutralize the Korean issue. On the one hand, it tried to maintain its suzerainty status, and on the other hand, it implemented the policy of "controlling foreigners with foreigners" on the Korean peninsula. We hope to ease the crisis on the Korean Peninsula through soft means. [1]
Undoubtedly, this conservative policy, in fact, made the Qing government miss the best opportunity to solve the Korean Peninsula issue, and swallowed up its own ample diplomatic room for manoeuvre. The subsequent policy towards North Korea actually put the Qing government in a dilemma. On the one hand, as a vassal state, the Qing government was equal to other powers when dealing with Korean affairs. In the eyes of Koreans, China was also one of the powers. They even tried to introduce Russian and American forces to contain the Qing government. Because Japan is not satisfied with these interests. After it is ready; They launched the Sino Japanese War of 1894-1895, which invaded Korea and then China. After the defeat of the Qing army, the Qing government was forced to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki with Japan, confirming the "independence" of Korea, and the suzerain vassal relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Korea ended.

Ryukyu

China and Ryukyu Suzerain vassal relationship It has been more than 500 years. Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Ryukyu has a close relationship with China. Ryukyu has continuously paid tribute to China, and all the kings of Ryukyu have accepted China Canonize Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty in 1372 Zhu Yuanzhang yes Zhongshan King Chadu issued an imperial edict. Shanbei, Zhongshan Shannan The three kings paid tribute to the Ming government. Ryukyu became a vassal of the Ming Empire. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty also gave gifts minnan Thirty six surname is given to Ryukyu. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Ryukyu envoys came to China in 1646 and received Emperor Shunzhi Interview with. In 1662, the Qing government sent Zhang Xueli, the deputy military officer, as an envoy to Ryukyu. Since then, whenever a new king of Ryukyu succeeded to the throne, envoys of the Qing Dynasty went to confer titles and celebrate. In 1663 (the second year of Kangxi's reign) and 1756 (the twenty-first year of Qianlong's reign), the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty gave seals to the king of Ryukyu twice. The seals given by Qianlong were inscribed with the words "Seal of the King of Ryukyu". Until the 1860s, Ryukyu had always recognized itself as a vassal of the Qing Dynasty. 1872, Japan Meiji Emperor Climbing to the top, it satirizes the celebration in Ryukyu. The King of Ryukyu sent his son to Tokyo to make contributions. Emperor of Japan The imperial edict was issued to take Ryukyu as the vassal, and in 1873, Ryukyu was listed as the prefecture and county. In May 1875, Japan forced the Ryukyu King to stop paying tribute to China and sent troops to Ryukyu; To disappear between midstream“ Suzerain vassal relationship ”In June, Ryukyu was forced to use the Japanese year. In 1876, Japan set up a judicial institution in Ryukyu, which in fact put Ryukyu under its rule. The king of Ryukyu was overwhelmed by the Japanese invasion and oppression, and in April 1877, he sent a purple towel official to Dehong When they came to China, they presented a confidential letter from Guozheng, imploring to stop Japan's annexation. Qing government They sent people to Japan to negotiate, but no results were achieved. In March 1879, the Japanese government sent troops to occupy Ryukyu. On March 30, Ryukyu was officially declared Okinawa Prefecture On July 3 and 23, 1879, the King of Ryukyu ordered the Purple Scarf Officer Xiang Dehong Two visits to Tianjin to pay homage to Li Hongzhang and request Qing government Blame Japan. On October 24, Mao Jingchang, a Ryukyu ear and eye official, and others went to the Prime Minister's office in Beijing to "kneel down and wail and cry for blood", hoping that the Qing government could send troops to rescue Ryukyu for the sake of "condescending to the vassal state for two hundred years". Although the Qing government negotiated with Japan again, Ryukyu was eventually annexed by Japan due to Japan's arrogance and the weakness of the Qing government. Qing Dynasty and Ryukyu Suzerain vassal relationship So it ended.

Myanmar

Myanmar It became Chinese in the Yuan and Ming dynasties Chieftain But after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Myanmar Department of Publicity and Comfort Gradually stronger, start to Chieftain Jurisdictional expansion, Myanmar notice the ming dynasty They did not save the outer border areas, so they learned from the ming dynasty Of Gold lettered red card System, take measures to attract the surrounding Chieftain The practice of the leader. "The Third Declaration and the Sixth Comfort" established in the early Ming Dynasty Chieftain Most of them belong to ", (Note: Wang Song: Daoguang Yunnan Zhichao, Zhichao 5, see《 Yunnan Historical Materials Series 》Volume 11.) To pay tribute to them. For inside Yunnan Chieftain , Myanmar Taungoo Dynasty They also constantly harass. In order to resist Myanmar's attack, the governor of Yunnan Chen Yongbin It has set up a Tongbi Pass Wanren Pass Shenhuguan Jushi Pass , Tiebiguan Huju Pass Tianma Pass Hanlong Pass Wait for eight passes. Although the eight passes are "to control all places outside the pass Chieftain In order to prevent the invasion of Myanmar, it is not the boundary between Yunnan and Myanmar "(Note: Zhang Chengsun: Sino British Boundary between Yunnan and Myanmar, page 23). However, with the decline of its own power, the Ming Dynasty actually relaxed its control over chieftains outside the Shanhaiguan Pass. Some chieftains were intimidated Myanmar Under the pressure of Myanmar Or to China and Myanmar. After the Qing army entered the Central Plains, Qing government Busy in consolidating their own rule, they only guarded the fortifications built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest frontier - Eight Passes (Note: see Fang Guoyu :《 Textual Research on the Historical Geography of Southwest China 》Zhonghua Book Company, 1987 edition, page 775) Chieftain It is still the policy of taking advantage of the barbarians, so the border Chieftain The status of has not changed, and Taungoo Dynasty , and there has been no official communication for many years. It was not until the 15th year of Qianlong's reign (1750) that King Jincai of Dongxu formally sent an envoy to China for the first time to pay tribute and seek a seal, which was well received by the Qing government. In 1752, the Dongyu Dynasty was Yongjiya Dynasty (1752-1885 Qing Burma War (1765-1769). The early Qing Dynasty sent troops to Myanmar many times.

Although the land where the arches are raised belongs to Myanmar, it still belongs to me." [2] (Note: Li Genyuan: Yongchang Prefecture Wen Zheng, Vol. 25, p. 12.) The Qing government's idea of being its own people, on the condition that it can maintain its vassal system, does not have much problem. However, after the frequent invasion of Western countries and the annexation of the Qing Dynasty's vassals by foreign powers, it will inevitably lead to border territorial disputes, It also made the Qing government fall into a passive position when negotiating with foreign powers.
Since 1824. Britain started a war of aggression against Burma. In the process of the British government causing trouble and provoking the war against Burma, the Qing government once made representations.

British Foreign Secretary Clay Zeng Jize He expressed that he was willing to make some concessions on the boundary affairs: first, "take Lujiang (i.e Nujiang River Thanlwin River )To the east, from outside the southern boundary of Yunnan to the south Siam North boundary, Xibin Lujiang , which is called by Yang Tu Thanlwin River , arriving from the east Lancang River Downstream, including north Nanzhang China, South shan All kinds of things are either kept as a dependency or received as a dependency, and it is convenient to hear about China "; Second, take the Great Jinsha River, namely the Irrawaddy River, as the "public river" of the two countries; Third, we explored a place near Bamo, allowed China to establish a port and "set up a customs to collect taxes" (Xue Fucheng: "Outline of the Boundary between Yunnan and Myanmar", under the volume of "Memoirs of Diplomatic Missions", pp. 28-29). Since China and the UK have been deadlocked on the issue of Myanmar's sacrifice, Zeng Jize Before he left office, he only exchanged letters with the British Foreign Office for a brief record. In July 1886, it was signed in Beijing《 Myanmar Clause 》, Qing government Acknowledging the British privileges in Myanmar, the UK agreed that Myanmar would "routinely" present something to China for every ten years.
