The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 611 The Problem of Establishing the Capital (Recommendation Ticket Requested)
More importantly, Zhu Hongyu prefers to concentrate on big things rather than develop the two cities together.

After much deliberation, Zhu Hongyu had a rough idea in his mind.

That is to set up the Shanghai Development Zone to attract capital and promote reforms in the south of the Yangtze River.

As for why Shanghai was chosen instead of Nanjing, it was actually Zhu Hongyu's selfishness.

As we all know, industrial development in this era is equated with environmental pollution.

He doesn't want the capital of Ming Dynasty to become like London and Paris in history!
He doesn't want to live in a very polluted city in the future!
He will definitely live in Nanjing for a long time in the future, and there is a high probability that the capital of Ming Dynasty will be in Nanjing instead of moving north.

Because, historically, the reason why Zhu Di moved his capital to the capital had little to do with him growing up in Yanyun and being familiar with the environment there.

The majestic Emperor Yongle is not so superficial!

The main purpose is actually to better deal with threats from the northern grasslands.

The reason why the emperor guards the gate of the country is also to better control the frontier army, so as to prevent the border where the heavy troops are stationed too far from the capital, which will cause the generals on the border to become chaotic.

Of course, there is a high probability that Yanyun will return to the rule of the Han family, so that the people of Yanyun can regain their sense of belonging to the Han dynasty.

After all, since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the son emperor Shi Jingtang ceded Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to Khitan, and went to the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty to recover Yuan Dadu.

It has been more than 400 years!
The people of Yanyun used to be Liao people, Jin people, and Yuan people, but never Song people.

In addition, the ruler of the Southern Song Dynasty issued an imperial decree stating that people from the south should return to the south and people from the north should return to the north, which caused the whole world to be severely divided.

Especially Yanyun Sixteen States!

After more than 400 years of division, it is conceivable how much the people of Yanyun will feel divided towards China.

When Zhu Di moved his capital to Yanyun, he definitely had the idea of ​​letting Yanyun return to the land of China!
However, if the current Zhu Hongyu is to choose the capital, Nanjing is definitely the first choice.

Because times have changed!

In the past, the great enemy of Ming Dynasty came from the grasslands in the north.

Nomads on the grasslands!
But from now on, danger comes from the sea, and opportunities also come from the sea.

If Ming Dynasty wanted to complete its transformation from a feudal country to an industrial country, it could not do without the sea.

It is inseparable from foreign colonization and plundering of resources!

Compared to desperately introverting and squeezing his own people to complete social changes, it is more in line with Zhu Hongyu's wishes to colonize and infiltrate.

Relying on the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, wait until Daming completes the social transformation.

The financial and taxation-heavy land in the south of the Yangtze River, the most affluent land in the world, will only become more important in the Ming Dynasty's political map.

Compared with moving the capital to the capital and controlling the elite soldiers on the nine borders, it is obviously more important to set the capital in Nanjing and control the entire Jiangnan.

Furthermore, as long as trains and ships appear in the near future and telegraph lines are successfully erected, communications and transportation will change.

At that time, even if Zhu Hongyu sits in Nanjing, he will be able to control the elite soldiers on the frontier!
Don't worry about chaos in the frontier because the frontier is too far away from the capital.

Therefore, even for his own sake, Zhu Hongyu must pay attention to Nanjing's environmental problems.

Zhu Hongyu's plan for Nanjing is the political, cultural and economic center of Ming Dynasty.

But not an industrial center!
Because the damage to the environment caused by industrial development is too serious.

Zhu Hongyu still wants a livable Nanjing!

At most one large arsenal will be kept in Nanjing City, and some high-tech manufacturing industries will not leave too many factories.

Just when Zhu Hongyu was thinking about these in a mess, Wang Ruxian came to see him.

"Bring people here!"

Zhu Hongyu put down the memorial, stretched himself, and said.

Not long after, Wang Ruxian was brought before Zhu Hongyu.

"Wei Chen greets His Majesty!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, then asked.

"You came to see me, what's the matter?"

Wang Ruxian bowed slightly, and then spoke.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, some common people have appeared outside the imperial city, and they claim to be the clan of the Ming Dynasty."

"I want to ask to see His Majesty, and ask His Majesty to give them the Lumi and Zong's salary due to the clan, and also ask His Majesty to arrange them with the treatment of the clan."

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu couldn't help frowning.

"Can you confirm their identities?"

"Is it really my clan of the Ming Dynasty, or is someone just pretending?"

There were many reasons for the demise of the pre-Ming Dynasty, and many scholars have specifically calculated the reasons.

However, no matter which version it is, too many imperial clans of the Ming Dynasty dragged down the court finances, which is an unavoidable point.

Now that Zhu Hongyu had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor not long ago, some clans came to him and asked the court to support them.

To be honest, Zhu Hongyu was quite responsive!
When Laozi led the troops and the Manchus fought to death, none of you stood up.

Now that Lao Tzu has defeated the Manchus, captured Nanjing, and proclaimed himself emperor, what the hell are you guys showing up.

Who is disgusting?

To be honest, after Zhu Hongyu landed in Guangzhou, the Ming clan began to join him.

Said that he would contribute his own strength to drive out the Tartars and restore Daming!
Without exception, Zhu Hongyu accepted all of them.

Most of the men were stuffed into the army by him for exercise.

The young children were sent to school, and the family members were properly supported.

Don't think about the clan's salary, Zhu Hongyu doesn't have so much spare money to support them.

But Zhu Hongyu didn't treat them badly, he allocated land to each of their families, and let them cultivate the land by themselves and rely on themselves.

Of course, taxes must be paid!

Regardless of whether these people are capable or not, at least they have a good heart.

They dared to take the risk of being liquidated by the Qing Dynasty afterwards, and stood up to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty together with Zhu Hongyu.

It is worthy of their status as the Ming clan!

Zhu Hongyu was very happy to divide the fields and land for them.

Although these relatives are poor, they are still reliable.

But now those who came out to show him the identity of the Ming clan are all a bunch of bastards!
As the saying goes, if you don't accompany the tiger in Pingyang, who are you when you make a comeback?
Zhu Hongyu would be a ghost if he could get used to this group of guys!
If it wasn't for his own reputation, Zhu Hongyu really didn't want to talk to this group of people.

Wang Ruxian also noticed Zhu Hongyu's displeasure, and said with lowered eyebrows.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, they all lack evidence to prove their clan identity."

"Many people don't even have genealogy and clan jade plates!"

Zhu Hongyu sneered.

"Without genealogy and clan jade plates, what face do you have to call yourself the clan of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Who knows if they are dissidents, pretending to be my Ming clan?"

"As long as there is no evidence to prove the identity of the clan, all will be beaten out!"
