Chapter 19 is full of short-sighted people!
Yongle 16 years.

Zhu Di had some unnatural emotions. Although he had gone through ups and downs and could remain calm, he never thought that his Dongchang and Jinyiwei would eventually become the characteristics of a dynasty.

He could only say somewhat unnaturally: "It seems that our Ming Dynasty still has many special situations. There are also many coincidences."

All the ministers below nodded.Nonsense, don't you think the emperor will give you good things to eat?You still have to give face!

[Zhu Di also did a major event, a major event that changed the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, including political, economic, military, cultural and other aspects. 】

Zhu Di during the Yongle period obviously knew what was going on, but Zhu Di during the Hongwu period was a little hesitant. How did he know what his future self was thinking, and whether he should stand up from behind his eldest brother?Keeping hiding is not an option.

[The major event Zhu Di did was to move the capital, and the location of the capital move was his vassal territory of Peiping. 】
-
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

Zhu Di was quite surprised, or everyone was surprised.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first: "Did you have any ideas when you chose Peking as the location?"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang actually had the idea of ​​moving the capital. Do you still remember that when Prince Zhu Biao went out for an inspection, he died of a sudden illness?
The place he went to inspect at that time was Luoyang, Chang'an.

Zhu Di nodded: "Maybe the son has been operating in his own vassal for many years, and in order to defend the border, he chose Peiping."

Xu Da and other generals had already thought of many issues from the military perspective, and said with a cupped hand: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, has Peking as his capital, and the defense pressure on this frontier is probably not small. If one is not careful, foreigners will also take advantage of it."
-
Qin Dynasty.

The eyes of the First Emperor were full of interest. Zhu Di's courageous charge had already made Ying Zheng somewhat fond of him.

But now we see that he has set the capital on the border with great courage, whether it is for the sake of the country or for his future imperial mausoleum.He is all worthy of respect.

In this case, he must be very energetic to deal with foreign enemies.

It's a pity that Da Qin has not yet completely purified itself, and he has no way to move the capital for the time being.
-
Song.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were a little blurry. The Beiping in the miracle was the Youzhou he had longed for, the 16 Yanyun states!
What was the purpose of his Northern Expedition?
Isn’t it just to take back Youzhou?

Now that we see what the future will look like, Youzhou has indeed been successfully recaptured, how can we not be excited?
In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, where was the capital?There were heated discussions.

Unfortunately, due to the development of the situation, Yingtianfu was decided. Later, when Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to move the capital to Luoyang and Chang'an, he failed because the prince Zhu Biao died of illness.

When Zhu Di ascended the throne, the situation had changed again and again.He could only start to encourage wealthy businessmen from Shanxi and Jiangnan or refugees from various places to immigrate to the north.

In the seventh year of Yongle, Zhu Di began to build the foundation of the imperial mausoleum in Peiping.Once again he showed his determination to the world - to defend the border to the death.

In the eighth year of Yongle's reign, Zhu Di led his army to conquer the country, severely defeated the barbarians and won a great victory.

After Banshi returned to the court, in order to better transport supplies, Zhu Di ordered the opening of a canal to connect the north and south water transportation, which took five years.

Since then, cultural and economic exchanges between the North and the South have grown day by day.

This simple introduction to moving the capital contains a lot of information.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been very clear since the founding of the People's Republic of China that the population in the north has been war-torn for a long time. He has been encouraging the population in the south to migrate north, but it is difficult to see results.

But he couldn't use miraculous methods. After all, Zhu Di had already moved the capital to Peiping, so no one would follow him.

The brothers around Zhu Di noticed another sentence, including the generals below who were also puzzled. "Fourth brother, you want to go on a personal expedition? You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! You are worth a thousand dollars and should be sitting in the main hall. There are countless soldiers charging for you. Why lead an army to conquer in person? If there is danger, the country cannot survive for a day. There is no king." The generals nodded in succession. If the emperor was needed to lead an army to conquer in person, then why would they be needed?And judging from the situation at the time, it was not a time when talents were withering and no one could use them.

Some active generals below thought further.Zhu Di moved the capital to the frontier.After that.There is no shortage of border battles to be fought.

[So why did Zhu Di choose Beiping as his capital instead of the Luoyang-Chang'an area that Zhu Yuanzhang had decided on at this time? 】

[First of all, Zhu Di became a vassal in the 15th year of Hongwu. From Hongwu to the beginning of Yongle, for nearly 20 years, he knew Peiping well. 】

[Here we can introduce a little bit. Beijing and Peiping, known as Youzhou in ancient times, are also known as important parts of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. 】

[Since Shi Jingtang ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, the northern Han people have been ruled by foreigners for nearly 400 years.The Han people in the south were constantly harassed by the foreigners from the north. 】

[The power of time is undoubtedly terrifying.The century-old division has created cultural, political, economic, and even popular conflicts between the North and the South. 】

[Before the Yuan Dynasty, both the Song and Liao Dynasties were arguing over who was the orthodox of China. Both sides believed that they were Han and orthodox, and they fought fiercely for this reason. 】

[In the end, there was the only situation in Chinese history where the history of Song, Liao, and Jin were juxtaposed. 】

[During the Ming Dynasty, literati in the south generally looked down upon the north. In their view, the region had been assimilated by the barbarians and would not cooperate with them! 】
-
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

There was deathly silence in the hall, and everyone's expressions became serious.

Although the conflict between the North and the South is not that serious at the moment, they still feel it, but they are not unaware of it.

It's just that I don't pay much attention to it.I thought that as time went by, the south became more and more confrontational!
Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer control his anger, and immediately dropped the jade in his hand to the ground, "They are all short-sighted people, fighting for power and profit all day long, without any sense of family and country!"

The faces of the ministers below were also very ugly. The southern scholars were testing and controlling power and wanted to kick the northerners out of the court.

This obviously broke the balance of actual power and was also a test of imperial power.

What will happen if it succeeds?
This will inevitably further intensify the division between the north and the south. At the same time, the power of southern scholars in the court gradually expanded and they controlled more and more rights.

Will Jiangshan still be named Zhu by then?Does this country still belong to the Ming Dynasty?How to deal with the unrest caused by that time?

The policy of integrating ethnic groups since the founding of the Ming Dynasty completely failed. In the end, it was the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty that was damaged!

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes had become cold and filled with blood and fire.

After all, you are too kind to these people, making them think that they are old, can no longer carry a knife, and can no longer kill people!
-
Han Dynasty, the first year of Yuan Shuo.

Liu Che was even more determined to attack the Huns. Since he already knew that later generations would recognize the Han, let the unification begin with him!
-
Qin Dynasty.

The First Emperor looked at the word Han with some confusion, why not Da Qin?His great Qin unified the six kingdoms.Why not named after Qin? ——
Song.

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned. All he wanted in his life was the Northern Expedition and the recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.But why did it end up being ranked alongside the Liao and Jin Dynasties?

This is a shame!He calmed down and turned his attention to his two sons, Zhao Defang and Zhao Dezhao.

The Song Dynasty currently has strong troops and horses. If it fails to regain the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, there must be a problem with the successor!
