long as the Empire was Govern'd by the Chineses had their Residence at the Courts in Nanking and Peking for all the Councils and Magistrates which are at the Imperial Court in Peking were formerly except the Colaos in Nanking the Metropolis and Court of the ancient Chinese Princes but they were far below those in Peking because of the Emperor's absence who held his Court in Peking as at this day the Tartar Emperor of China The Court was remov'd from Peking on this occasion The Emperor Humvu having driven out the Tartars Anno 1368. planted the Seat of the Empire in Nanking After his Decease one of his Nephews call'd Yunlo who in the Northern Provinces lay with an Army in the Borders of the Empire as Vice-Roy there to be a Guard against the Tartars concluded to bereave Humvu's Heir of the Crown and make himself Master of it To which purpose having gotten the Northern Provinces to joyn with him he came with his Army to Nanking and got the other Provinces either by Policy Strength or Presents and expell'd Humvu's Son But because Yunlo's greatest Strength and Dependence was in the Northern Provinces and that it was to be believ'd that the Tartars to re-gain the Empire would fall in on that Place he setled himself in that part of the Countrey and in the same City in which the Tartar Emperors when they Govern'd the Chineses had their Residence there to resist the Enemy if he should make any Attempt yet still continu'd the Emperor's Palace and the Magistrates in Nanking But after the Conquest of China by the Tartars Anno 1644. the City of Nanking was bereav'd of her Imperial Title and all the Magistrates belonging to the Emperor's Court nay the Palace of the ancient Chinese Emperors besides many stately Memorials were all pull'd down to the Ground without any other damage to the City The Tartars also chang'd the Name of the City and Province and in stead of Nanking call'd it Kiangnan and the City which formerly was call'd Intien Kiangning All which was done by the Tartars out of an inveterate hatred against the Taimingian Family because Humvu or Chu the first raiser of that House drove them or their Predecessors shamefully out of the Empire after they had possess'd it a hundred and eight years All the Magistrates as well belonging to the Learned Council as Martial Affairs are by a general Name in the Chinese Tongue call'd Quonfu that is To set before but for their Quality and not their Office they are call'd Lavye or Lausu or Lavja's which signifies Lords or Parents The Netherlanders according to the example of the Portuguese call them Mandarins that is Commanders or Governors deriv'd from the Portuguese word Mandarim which is A Commander Notwithstanding all the Magistrates or Governors flie at the Emperor's Beck and have Orders amongst themselves yet every one Serves in his Office with full Power except he be commanded to the contrary by his Superiors There are so many Governors in China and Magistrates they being according to Martinius to the number of eleven thousand that it is hard to know their several Orders For this reason five or six Books of a considerable bigness are to be bought through the whole Empire containing the Names of the publick Magistrates and Governors of Provinces with the Places of their Birth Employments and Quality These Books according to Martinius are Re-printed every three Moneths which must be done of necessity for in such great numbers of Magistrates without putting those into the Books that are of less Quality are daily great Changes some dying others put out of their Employments some degraded into lesser Offices or losing their Parents by reason of which last Accident they are forc'd to desert their Government though never so great and travel home and there Mourn three years and therefore great numbers are continually at the Court of Peking in hopes to succeed in the vacant Places As to what concerns the Government of the Provinces in particular it stands in this manner The supream Government of a Province is generally manag'd in the Metropolis and consists in Societies that have a general Power over the whole Province Amongst these are two prime Courts to which all the other as as well of Towns as Villages must submit because they receive their Commissions from the Imperial Court This Court consists in one sole Judge without any Assistants or other Officers which is the Vice-Roy of the Province in the Chinese Tongue call'd Tutham or Kiu-Muen whose Command extends over all the Magistrates and People of the Province During his time of Government which lasts three years he keeps several Messengers which go to and come from the Court at certain times to give an account of what hath pass'd in his Jurisdiction He is receiv'd with great State into his Dominions After his departure from Court his Councellors and other Officers go before and he is conducted from City to City by the Inhabitants Some Commanders with three thousand Soldiers besides all the Magistrates and Commonalty come to meet and receive him three Leagues from the Metropolis where he is to keep his Court. The second Tutang who is of no less Power but stays but one year in his Employment is call'd Chayven He is much respected and feared for he takes an account of all manner of Business Military or Civil Condemns or Reprieves Malefactors and also looks after the Emperor's Revenue He Examines all the Magistrates nay the Tutang himself and hath also Power to punish Judges and put great and mean Mandarins out of their Employments The Miscarriages of the grand Mandarins he informs the Emperor of by Letters and puts them out of their Places till he hath receiv'd an Answer from his Majesty He also pronounces the Sentences of Death which are given in all Places of the Province and appoints for that purpose the Day and Town whither all the Malefactors must be carry'd that he may know the number and Names of them and marks six or seven with a Pencil and if more he is accounted a blood-thirsty and tyrannous Man Those that are thus mark'd are Executed in the Field and the other carry'd again to Prison He is also to look after the repairing of the City Walls Castles and other Structures He never goes out but with a great Train that carry Court Badges and other marks of severity There is yet sometime another Extraordinary Chayven made at the Empresses Request He hath an absolute Power but it extends no farther than to Pardon or Reprieve for he Visits all the Prisons in the whole Province sets those Prisoners at Liberty which for petty Crimes lie there and have no Adversaries and likewise such as are not able to free themselves He Pleads in all desperate Causes and assists People that are helpless recalls a rashly pronounc'd Sentence and is defender of the Poor In short his whole Office and Employment extends to Mercy For which reason these Magistrates are
