The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 506 Moving the Capital
It's almost ugly.

Candlelight is still beating in the back hall of Yingtian Mansion Yamen.

Seeing Zhu Linmi rubbing her temples wearily, Shi Lin couldn't help saying softly, "My lord, it's getting late, you'd better go to bed early."

Zhu Linmi waved her hands, stared at the pen in her hand, and said without raising her head, "The move to the capital is urgent, and I have to stay up all night. By the way, help me prepare some supper."

Shi Lin still advised, "Sir, it will take at least a year or so to move the capital. You have been in command for the past few days, and you are busy with complicated affairs in Nanjing, so be careful that your health will not be able to handle it."

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Linmei raised her head and smiled, "Although the relocation of the capital cannot be completed overnight, as long as the imperial court starts to move the old capital to the north, it will have a special meaning for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, we must do our best if we can start it as soon as possible." .”

In fact, there are still many important towns in Nanzhili, such as Suzhou and Changzhou, which have not yet been recovered, but Zhu Linmi is currently focusing on moving the capital.

He has read a lot of historical materials and the analysis of the history gods on the forum, so he knows the significance of this matter.

Moving the capital to Nanjing first of all showed the legitimacy of the Taizheng Dynasty, which is extremely critical in the era when the imperial power thought is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
Previously, the Longwu Dynasty established its capital in Fuzhou, and everyone in the world regarded him as a surviving small imperial court, especially for the separatist forces—the clansmen thought that you, Zhu Yujian, could establish a dynasty in Fuzhou, why couldn’t I establish a dynasty in Guilin, Jianchang, Zhejiang proclaims emperor?As long as people who are not relatives of the clan have some strength, they will also consider supporting a child of the old Zhu family and control them by themselves.

And the people and scholars all over the world are also extremely confused, not knowing who to serve, and in the end they often listen to whoever is close.This led to a situation where there were many hills in the Nanming period, and internal fighting and internal friction were extremely serious.

Even after Zhu Linmi's hard work for more than a year, He Tengjiao is still in fact supporting the separatist regime at this time.

The most ridiculous thing is that Jianlu, who occupied Beijing, also claimed to be orthodox of the Ming Dynasty!Moreover, after the traitorous literati continued to whitewash and propagate, many people in Jiangbei have begun to accept this kind of lie.

Once this situation lasts for a long time, the lies will become the truth, and then Da Ming's advantage in popular support will disappear.Historically, after the Yongli Dynasty, there was no possibility of success in the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, and this was an important factor.

However, as long as Daming can re-establish Nanjing as its capital, all the above-mentioned problems will be solved.The Taizheng Dynasty supported the old capital and established the country, and led the nine provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to attack the captives. Who on the land of Kyushu can not regard it as Zhengshuo? !
It can be said that only Daming, which established its capital in Nanjing, is the central government truly recognized by all people in the world!Only then will it be able to have a huge cohesion and appeal to the entire Chinese world!
Afterwards, if someone intends to separate the regime and stand on his own, I am afraid that even his own trusted officials will oppose it, and the people in the area under his jurisdiction will even flee to neighboring provinces because they do not want to "attend rebellion".

As for the Jianlu side, the people of the Ming Dynasty must have become more united in their hatred, and since then they have united to drive the barbarians from the north to the north.

In addition to being able to obtain the orthodox status of the Ming Dynasty, moving the capital to Nanjing has many other benefits.

For example, in terms of economy, with Nanjing as the capital, it is possible to rule the most affluent Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the world.It has a dense population, talented people, and rich products. It once contributed one-third of the world's taxes, and it was an important support for Ming Zhongxing.King Lu was able to "single out" Jianlu for more than ten months with most of Zhejiang, which can be seen from this.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty and the Jianlu have now formed a situation of confrontation across the river. Moving the capital to Nanjing can give full play to the advantages of the capital's political, economic, and military concentration, and resist the Lu army nearby.

In Zhu Linmi's established national policy, the construction of the navy has always been one of the key points.With a powerful navy, the Yangtze River will become a natural barrier for Nanjing, which can greatly limit the performance of the Qing army, which is only good at land warfare.

Finally, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was the birthplace of the eastward spread of Western learning in the late Ming Dynasty, and there were a large number of talents in natural sciences, which was conducive to the implementation of Zhu Linmi's follow-up Gezhi imperial examination.At the same time, the budding capitalism of Ming Dynasty also appeared here. The capitalist handicraft industry can benefit from the development of natural science, which in turn can promote the promotion of Gezhixue in Daming, and finally enter the fast track of full industrialization.

Only by starting industrialization as soon as possible can we compete with Western powers in the next few hundred years and make China invincible among the nations of the world!
When it came to industrialization, Zhu Linmi immediately thought that a Gezhi Institute should be built in Nanjing as soon as possible, and even the planned highest scientific research institution in Ming Dynasty, the Royal Gezhi Institute of Ming Dynasty, now has a foundation and can start preparations.

And whether the Longnan Steel Works can also be moved to Nanjing as a supporting facility for scientific research...

He had just picked up a pen and wrote a few lines when Shi Lin came into the room and said softly: "My lord, the supper is ready." He turned around and motioned for the accompanying soldiers to put some food on Zhu Lin's desk.

"I'm really hungry." Zhu Linming stretched her waist, picked up a spoon, and put the nearest soup into her mouth.

These foods are made by the newly hired Chef Changshenglou of Yingtian Mansion, and the taste is really extraordinary.But Zhu Linmei remembered the oily duck soup he had been drinking these past few months. Although it was not as good as the bowl in front of him, he was used to the taste.

He turned his head and asked Shi Lin, "Is there any news from General Zhen?"

"Returning to my lord, General Zhao led his troops across Jiangyin, but he still hasn't encountered General Zhen's troops. And there is no news of meeting with General Zhen from Tie Dake's side."

There are at least tens of thousands of Jian captives to the east of Nanzhi, and it is hard to guarantee that Zhen Zhen will not be attacked by the enemy.Zhu Linmi couldn't help worrying about Zhen Zhen's safety, so she frowned and said, "Let Jiao Lian bring another 2000 troops to the southeast to meet him."

"Yes." Shi Lin replied, then hesitated, "My lord, this is still Yin's time..."

"Yes," Zhu Linmi patted his forehead, "Let him start again at dawn."

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Linmi yawned tiredly as she looked at the completed preparations for moving the capital of the household department, but heard someone in the courtyard arguing in a low voice.

"No, His Highness has been busy all night..."

"But His Highness has ordered that as soon as this matter comes to fruition, report it immediately, no matter when."

"Didn't you see the genius Mengmengliang?"

Zhu Linmei cheered up and said loudly to the outside: "Let him in."

"This is."

"My subordinates pay homage to His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince." The visitor approached to salute, but it was Brother Zhao who had "robbed the prison" in the chief envoy of Nanjing.His real name is Zhao Feijun, and he is a member of a hundred households in Jinyiwei South Town.

Zhu Linming naturally knew why he came, so she said directly: "How is the matter going?"

"Go back to Your Highness, everything is done." Zhao Feijun cupped his hands, "The old thief was gouged out by thousands of people, and he wailed for two days and two nights. The blood was soaked ten feet in front of the temple in the south of the city, and his bones were dense. Purgatory. The people present all cheered, as if the Chinese New Year was the same."
