other places, and that the tso-ch'êng of his • [moving] Secretariat ' Hu-la-ch'u (*Quia6u ?; cf. YS, 133, 3 b-4 a) and P'u Shou-kêng and the ts'an-chêng Kuan Ju-tê should have a ` detailed [moving] Secretariat ' (fên-shêng) at Ch'üan-chou. » Chiang-huai was the name of the « moving Grand Secretariat » established at Yang-chou, which was transferred to Hang-chou in 1284, and then named the hsing-shêng of Chiang-chê. It went back to Yang-chou in 1286, and was again called the hsing-shêng of Chiang-huai in 1287. In 1289, it was moved for the second time to Hang-chou (YS, 15, 7 a), and in 1291 received again the name of hsing-shêng of Chiang-chê which it retained till the end of the dynasty (see also « Yangiu » and « Quinsai ») ; cf. WANG I IUi-tsu 2, 26, 5 b.
( YS, 13, 5 b) : «The 22nd chih-yüan year, the first month, ... on [the day] i-wei (February 27, 1285), Lu Shill-yung asked to abolish the moving Grand Secretariat ' of Fu-chien and to establish a hsüan-wei-ssû which would be in the dependence of the ' moving Grand Secretariat' of Chiang-hsi. » According to the geographical section translated above, the « moving Grand Secretariat » of Fu-chou was suppressed in 1285, and merged with Hang-chou; WANG Hui-tsu 2, 26, 7 a, is of opinion that Hang-chou is an error for Chiang-hsi.
(YS, 15, 6 b and 7 a) : The « moving [Grand] Secretariat » of Fu-chien is mentioned twice,
for the dates of February H, and March 6, 1289. Consequently, it must have been re-established between 1285 and 1289; but the various sections of the YS say nothing of it (cf. WANG Hui-tsu
26, 7 a). According to a quotation from the a) to San-shan hsü-chih of 1328 in eh. i of
the Pa-Min t'ung-chih, the « moving Grand Secretariat » of Fu-chien was re-established in 1286 (cf. KUWABARA, in Mem. of the ... Toyo Bunko, vii [1935], 92).
(YS, 16, 6 a) : « In the 28th chih-yüan year, the second month, ... on [the day] kuei-yu (March 6, 1291), the ' moving (Grand) Secretariat ' of Fu-chien was changed to a hsüan-wei-ssû, in the dependence of Chiang-hsi ». This is confirmed by the San-shan hsü-chih (cf. KUWABARA, ibid.).
( YS, 17, 2 a) : « In the 29 th chih-yüan year, ... the second month, ... on [the day]
i-hai (March 2, 1292), ... the ch'üan fu t'ai-ching I-hei-mi-shih (Yiymïs), the myriarch of the ancient army of Têng-chou, Shih Pi (cf. YS, 162, 4 b-6 a), and the yu-ch'êng of the ' moving [Grand] Secretariat ' of Fu-chien, Kao Hsing (cf. YS, 162, 6 a-7 b), were all named p'ing-chang chêng-shih of the ' moving Grand Secretariat ' of Fu-chien, [and ordered] to lead troops to punish Chao-wa (Java) ... » Kao Hsing's biography confirms that the « moving Grand Secretariat » of Fu-chien was re-established in 1292. It was an emergency measure, explained by the fact that the Chinese armada sent against Java started from Fu-chien.
(YS, 19, 4 b) : «In the 1st to-tê year, ... the second month, ... on [the day] chi-wei (March 20, 1297), the ' [moving Grand] Secretariat ' of Fu-chien was changed to the ' moving Grand Secretariat ' of Fu-chien, P'ing-hai and other places, and its seat was transferred to Ch'üanchou. The p'ing-chang chêng-shih Kao Hsing said that Ch'üan-chou was not far from Liu-ch'iu, and that either by summoning [the Liu-ch'iu people], or by going [to them], it was easy [from there] to win their affection. That is why the seat was changed. »
( YS, 20, 1 b) : « In the 3 rd to-tê year, ... the second month, ... on [the day] ting-ssû (March 8, 1299), ... the ' moving Grand Secretariats ' of Ssti-ch'uan and of Fu-chien were abolished. . . » From the biography of K'o-ii-chi-ssû (Giwargis, George) in YS, 134, 9 a, it appears that Fu-chien was at that time made a dependency of Chiang-chê, that is of Hang-chou
