Minh Mang (English spelling)

Japanese: ミンマン（英語表記）Minh Mang

1791‐1841
The second emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam. Reigned 1820-41. Fourth son of Emperor Gia Long, founder of the Nguyen Dynasty. He ascended to the throne in 1820, and promoted civil servants in exchange for the meritorious officials who had been the founding fathers of the Gia Long era, and attempted to introduce a centralized system modeled on the Qing Dynasty. In the local administrative system, he abolished Beicheng Town in the north and Giading Town in the south, which had previously been semi-independently ruled by powerful warriors, and made them directly governed provinces and prefectures. In the central government system, he strengthened the emperor's authority by establishing a cabinet and a provincial control bureaucracy, while also working to develop a bureaucratic force by changing the parish stipend system to a salary system and improving the imperial examination system.

1791‐1841
ベトナムのグエン(阮)朝第2代皇帝。在位1820‐41年。グエン朝の創始者ザロン(嘉隆)帝の第4子。1820年帝位につきザロン時代の開創の功臣を遠ざけて文官を重用し，清の制度を模した中央集権制をベトナムに導入しようとした。地方行政制度では，これまで有力武人による半独立的な支配が許されていた北部の北城総鎮，南部の嘉定総鎮を廃し，直轄の省府県とした。中央官制では，内閣，都察院を設置して皇帝の権限を強める一方，寓禄制を俸禄制に改め，あるいは科挙制を充実させるなど，官僚群の育成に努めた。
