User:Lds/Sandbox/List of administrative divisions of Cao Wei
The following is a list of administrative divisions of the state of Cao Wei (220–266) during the Three Kingdoms period (220–280) of China. Most of the administrative divisions were inherited from the system used during the Eastern Han dynasty (25–220). The system was composed of the following units in increasing order of hierarchy: xian (縣; county), jun (郡; commandery), and zhou (州; province). The year of reference is 266.
Historical background and overview[edit]
In 192, Yellow Turban rebels from Qing Province invaded Yan Province and killed Liu Dai, the provincial governor. The warlord Cao Cao, who was then the Administrator of Dong Commandery, replaced Liu Dai as the governor. He defeated the Yellow Turban rebels and forced them to surrender. He recruited over 300,000 former rebels to form an elite military unit, the Qingzhou Army. In 193, Cao Cao defeated a rival warlord, Yuan Shu, at the Battle of Fengqiu and gained full control over Yan Province. Over the following two years, he went on a campaign against Tao Qian in Xu Province. While he was away, the renegade warlord Lü Bu seized control of Yan Province with the help of defectors from Cao Cao's side. Only Juancheng, Fan and Dong'e counties in Yan Province remained under Cao Cao's control. Cao Cao turned back from Xu Province and clashed with Lü Bu to reclaim his territories in Yan Province. By 195, Cao Cao had defeated Lü Bu and taken back Yan Province.
In 196, Cao Cao attacked Yellow Turban rebels in Runan and Yingchuan commanderies in Yu Province and occupied Xuchang. In the same year, he received Emperor Xian, the figurehead emperor of the Eastern Han dynasty, in the ruins of the former imperial capital, Luoyang, and relocated the imperial capital to Xuchang. Since then, Cao Cao had the Han emperor and central government under his control. He also used the emperor's nominal authority to his advantage by forcing several nobles and regional officials spread throughout the fragmented Han Empire to submit to him.
In 197, Cao Cao attacked the warlord Zhang Xiu in Wancheng but was defeated in battle. Zhang Xiu surrendered later in 199. In 197, Cao Cao also defeated Yuan Shu at Chen Commandery and forced him to retreat to Huainan Commandery. By then, Cao Cao fully controlled Yan and Yu provinces. In 198, Cao Cao attacked Lü Bu in Xu Province and defeated him at the Battle of Xiapi, thereby bringing Xu Province under his control as well. In 199, he sent his general Zang Ba to attack Qing Province and occupy all the territories in the province south of the Yellow River. When he received news that Zhang Yang, the Administrator of Henei Commandery, had been assassinated, he sent his forces to occupy Henei. After Yuan Shu's defeat and death later that year, Cao Cao attacked and occupied Jiujiang Commandery. He also turned Hefei into a heavily fortified fortress. By then, Cao Cao's territories covered an area stretching from the sea in the east to Tong Pass in the west, and the southern bank of the Yellow River in the north to the northern bank of the Yangtze in the south.
In 200 CE, Cao Cao defeated the northern warlord Yuan Shao at the Battle of Guandu. In 202, after Yuan Shao's death, Cao Cao sent Zhong Yao to attack and capture Hedong Commandery from Yuan Shang, Yuan Shao's third son. In 204, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang at the Battle of Ye; Yuan Shang retreated to You Province to join his second brother, Yuan Xi. In 205, Cao Cao conquered Nanpi and killed Yuan Tan, Yuan Shao's eldest son. By then, he had wrestled control of Qing and Ji provinces from Yuan Shao's heirs. In 206, he attacked and seized control of Bing Province from Gao Gan, Yuan Shao's nephew. In 207, he defeated Tadun, the leader of the Wuhuan tribes in Liaoxi Commandery, and received the surrender of over 200,000 Wuhuan tribespeople. He was in full control of the four provinces north of the Yellow River – Bing, Ji, Qing and You provinces – which used to be ruled by the Yuan family.
In 208, Cao Cao launched a southern campaign to capture Jing Province; Liu Cong, the governor of Jing Province, surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao then advanced eastward along the Yangtze, but was defeated by the warlords Sun Quan and Liu Bei at the Battle of Red Cliffs. He retreated to Jiangling County and managed to retain control over his territories in northern Jing Province. Since then, he never managed to make any territorial gains south of the Yangtze.
In 211, Cao Cao defeated a coalition of northwestern warlords at the Battle of Tong Pass and occupied Chang'an. In the following year, he also conquered Anding and Pingyi commanderies. In 213, Cao Cao's general Xiahou Yuan defeated the warlord Ma Chao and his allies in the Guanzhong region and occupied most of the territories in the area. In 215, Cao Cao defeated the warlord Zhang Lu at the Battle of Yangping and conquered Hanzhong Commandery, but lost Hanzhong to Liu Bei by 219.
The territories conquered and occupied by Cao Cao from 192 to his death in 220 served as the foundation of the state of Cao Wei, which was established in late 220 by his son, Cao Pi. Cao Pi also forced Emperor Xian to abdicate the throne to him, thereby ending the Eastern Han dynasty. This event marked the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period in China. Cao Wei's territorial boundaries remained largely unchanged from its founding in 220 to its end in 265, when it was usurped by the Western Jin dynasty about two years after it conquered Shu Han, one of Cao Wei's two rival states.
Administrative system[edit]
Most of the administrative divisions were inherited from the system used in the Eastern Han dynasty. The system was composed of the following units in increasing order of hierarchy: xian (縣; county), jun (郡; commandery), and zhou (州; province).
- Xian or County
A county was governed by a ling (令; Prefect) or zhang (長; Chief); the former title was used if the county was large, while the latter title was used if the county was small.
Some counties were the personal estates of nobles holding the rank of gong (公; duke) and below. The nobility ranks, in decreasing order of hierarchy were: gong, hou (侯; marquis), bo (伯; count), zi (子; viscount), and nan (男; baron).
- Jun or Commandery
A commandery was governed by a taishou (太守; (Grand) Administrator). The governor of the commandery where the imperial capital, Luoyang, was located was known as Henan Yin (河南尹; Intendant of Henan). The commandery itself was also called Henan Yin.
- Guo or State
Guo (國; state) was an administrative division of equal status as a commandery. It was the personal estate of a prince, vassal king, or noble of equivalent rank. Each noble had a xiang (相; chancellor) to help him govern the state. When a particular state was no longer the personal estate of a noble, it was then renamed from "... State" to "... Commandery".
- Zhou or Province
A province was governed by a cishi (刺史; Inspector) or mu (牧; Governor).
Bing Province (并州)[edit]
Bing Province covered roughly present-day central and northern Shanxi Province. Its capital was at Jinyang County (southwest of present-day Taiyuan, Shanxi) in Taiyuan Commandery.
