In the late Qing Dynasty, in order to cope with the British infiltration of southern China's territory, the Qing government established the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Minister in the southwest and planned to establish Xikang Province. Later, due to the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the matter of establishing Xikang Province was left unresolved.
In February of the 30th year of the Guangxu period, in the north of China, the Russo-Japanese War broke out, and in the south, British troops entered Tibet from India.
In May of the 31st year of the Guangxu period, the Minister of the Assistant to Tibet, Feng Quan was killed in Batang. Sichuan Governor Xiliang sent Admiral Ma Weiqi and Jianchang Road Zhao Erfeng to suppress the troops, and successively pacified Batang, Chengxiang, Yanjing and other places.
In order to prevent the invasion of the British and Tibetan soldiers, in the 32nd year of the Guangxu period, Zhao Erfeng suggested to the Sichuan Governor-General Xiliang that the eight counties of Batang, Yanjing, Sanba, Physical and Chemical Engineering, Dingxiang, Daocheng , Gonggaling and Hekou belong to Sichuan Province. If a province is established on the border of Sichuan, it will be the basis for land transformation and return to the flow. To this end, Sichuan Governor Xiliang and Chengdu General Chuohab submitted a memorial to establish the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Minister.
In July of the 32nd year of the Guangxu period, the Qing government established the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Affairs Minister and appointed Zhao Erfeng as the supervisor. Stationed in Batang (established Ba'an Prefecture , stationed in Xiaqiong Town, Batang County, Sichuan Province).
In June of the 33rd year of the Guangxu period, Zhao Erfeng, the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Minister, proposed a proposal for regional jurisdiction, which was approved by the government.
Zhao Erfeng suggested: Because the Killing Lu Hall is a transportation hub for Sichuan and Tibet, it is planned to be bounded by the Killing Lu Hall, and all the territories outside the hall are under the jurisdiction of the Border Minister.
For local zoning, it is recommended to change Batang to Ba'an Prefecture, Daojian Fu is Kangding Prefecture, Litang is the Department of Physical and Chemical Engineering, Sanba is the Department of Sanba, Yanjing is Yanjing County , Zhongdu is Hekou County, Xiangcheng is Dingxiang County, Daoba is Daocheng County .
has a Lu'an Road, stationed in Ba'an Prefecture, and is in charge of the newly established prefectures and counties. Kangding Prefecture governs the Department of Management and Chemistry and Hekou and Daocheng counties. Ba'an Prefecture governs the Sanba Hall and Yanjing and Dingxiang counties. Sichuan Dajianlu Hall, the western region and the Kang Ministry of Tibet were formally designated as the management areas of the border minister.
The border minister’s jurisdiction starts from the east to the archery furnace, west to the Endazhi of Chamudu, south to the border with Aduzi of Yunnan Weixi Hall, and to the border between Dege and Kareyefan.
In the first year of Xuantong, the border minister was ordered to move to Chambo to arrange the Sichuan Army's entry into Tibet. Since the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Minister is not a permanent local administrative officer, he cannot implement long-term and effective control of the local area, calls for the establishment of a province continue to emerge. In the third year of Xuantong, Fu Songqing, the Minister of the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Affairs, proposed for the first time to establish Xikang Province in his memorial. "The border is the ancient Kang area, which is located in the west and is called Xikang Province." The Xikang Xikang area is named after this.
Fu Songqing's envisioned scope of Xikang Province, "From the east from the arrow furnace to the west to the top of Danda Mountain, it is more than 3,000 miles "to Weixi and Zhongdian in the south" and Xining in Gansu in the north, and more than 4,000 miles." After the establishment of the province, you can "guard the Kang territory, defend Sichuan, and aid Tibet, and prepare three things in one fell swoop."
Administrative divisions in the jurisdiction of the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Affairs Minister:
To the third year of Xuantong, there were a branch of the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Affairs Minister's jurisdiction in the jurisdiction of the Sichuan-Yunnan Border Affairs Minister's jurisdiction in Kang'an, the border north military preparation road and Kang'an. Dingfu (under the jurisdiction of the Department of Physics and Chemistry, Hekou County, Daocheng County, Gonggaling County), Ba'anfu (under the jurisdiction of Sanba Department, Dingxiang County, Yanjing County), Dengkefu (under the jurisdiction of Dehua Prefecture, Baiyu Prefecture, Shiqu County, Tongpu County), Changdu Prefecture (under the jurisdiction of Enda Department, Zhaya County), and other 11 members, Heshuodi, and other members of Derong, Jiangka, Gongjue, Sang'ang, Zayu, Sanyan, Ganzi , Zhanggu, Daowu, Zhantong, Ludingqiao , etc. Administrative regions at all levels are affiliated with the Minister of Border Affairs of Sichuan and Yunnan.
