In the fourth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1406), the Menglian Chief Officer (Zheng Liu Pin) was established. The entire Ming Dynasty was a chief officer, which was lower than the Xuanfu Division and Xuanwei Division.

The Ming Dynasty set up three Xuan and six Wei in the Yunnan border, which refers to the general term for the jurisdictional institutions set up by the Ming Dynasty in the southwestern region of China and the Indochina Peninsula. Three Xuan refers to Nandian Xuanfu Division, Ganyan Xuanfu Division, and Longchuan Xuanfu Division, and six Wei refers to Cheli Xuanwei Division, Myanmar Xuanwei Division, Mubang Xuanwei Division, 800 Dadian Xuanwei Division, Mengyang Xuanwei Division, and Laos Xuanwei Division.

The Menglian Chief Officer of the Ming Dynasty was successively under the jurisdiction of the Lu Chuan Ping Mian Xuanwei Division and the Yunnan Du Division. The Qing Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of Yongchang Prefecture and Shunning Prefecture. In the 35th year of Qianlong, he was awarded the "Manchu and Han Seal Text Menglian Xuanfu Division Copper Seal" for his merits. After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the scope of the Xuanfu Division gradually shrank. In February 1949, the entire territory of Lancang was liberated. In April, the Lancang Temporary Commissioner's Office was established, the Tusi system was abolished, and the 660-year Menglian Tusi system declared the end of the Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China.
