What institutions did the central government of Yuan Dynasty set up to manage Penghu and Taiwan Province Province?

The central government of the Yuan Dynasty established the Penghu Inspection Department to administer Penghu and Taiwan Province Province.

Penghu Village Inspection Office, or Penghu Inspection Office, is located in Penghu Islands. According to General History, Yuan History and New Yuan History, it is recognized that "Meng Yuanzheng failed in Japan due to strong winds, bypassed Taiwan Province Province and set up Penghu via Penghu in an attempt to forge ahead in Taiwan Province Province and prepare for Japanese conquest."

The local division belongs to Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, and the chief officer is Penghu Village Inspection. Penghu Inspection Department is not only the first administrative division of Penghu Islands, but also the first formal establishment of Taiwan Province Province, but Taiwan Province Island is not included. This organization was originally located in Penghu Island and was responsible for the affairs of Taiwan Province and Pengzhou.

The Ming Dynasty, which defeated the Yuan Dynasty and gained political power in China, still followed the precedent and set up official offices in Penghu. In the Ming Dynasty, Taipeng was located in the corner of the sea because of the existence of the Japanese pirates, and the Ming government adopted the policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wild. 1384 was abolished because of the policy of closing the sea.

1563, considering the coastal security and other factors, the patrol and inspection department of Penghuzhai was re-established in the Ming Dynasty. This government office was occupied by the Netherlands until 1622, and Penghu was recovered in 1624 in the Ming Dynasty through the Battle of Penghu.

Extended data

According to historical records, the Ming Dynasty never used troops against Taiwan Province Province, and Taiwan Province Province never paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty never owned Taiwan Province Island in fact or in name. Legally, Zhu Yuanzhang has clearly stipulated that the Ming emperor should not attack Taiwan Province Province (Ryukyu Kingdom). The Penghu Inspection Department established in the Ming Dynasty can only govern the Penghu area, and it has only been 40 years. So the Ming Dynasty didn't manage Taiwan Province Province.

However, the Pirate Group, which was attacked by the Ming Dynasty and was an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, took Taiwan Province Province as its stronghold and immigrated to Taiwan Province Province, making Taiwan Province Province a part of China. These pirate organizations played a mainstay role in the battle against western colonists.

Later, the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Zheng Group and established the Taiwan Province Municipal Government, which was the first time in the history of China to set up an institution in Taiwan Province Province to exercise jurisdiction. Therefore, the demise of the Zheng family in the Qing Dynasty marked that Taiwan Province Province was formally incorporated into the territory of the central dynasty in China. If the Qing Dynasty did not destroy the Zheng family, then the Zheng family group would develop into a vassal state like Vietnam, Korea and Ryukyu, and the final loss would be irreparable. Therefore, the historical achievements of the Qing Dynasty are undeniable.
