【After Zhu Di dredged the canal, he began preparations for moving the capital.】

【In fact, before this, other work of moving the capital had been in progress. The palace where civil and military officials went to court, and the six government offices, and the Beijing Camp Campus had been repaired as early as the seventh year of Yongle.】

【The construction work of the entire capital also started in the 15th year of Yongle and lasted for more than 30 years before it was completed.】

【When all the time was ripe, Zhu Di officially issued an order in the 19th year of Yongle: Move the capital! 】

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Di was so courageous and actually planned to move the capital to Beijing, and he couldn't help but sigh:

"Fourth child, I didn’t expect you to do something that we wanted to do but didn’t have time to do."

"ah? Does your father want to move the capital?"

Before Zhu Di had time to speak, Zhu Biao on the side asked in surprise:

"Is there something wrong with Yingtian? Zhu

Yuanzhang shook his head and said:

"There is no problem, but after unifying the whole country, Ming Dynasty is no longer suitable to serve as the capital of our Ming Dynasty."

"As Tiandao said, the biggest enemy of our Ming Dynasty now is Bei Yuan"

"This is also the reason why we have so many vassal kings in the north. The kings are appointed to guard the border to prevent the Mongols from coming back."

"However, sealing the king to guard the border is only a temporary measure after all. In order to completely solve the threat from the north and consolidate the rule of the north, we must move the capital to the north, so as to avoid future troubles forever."""670""It's just that we haven't decided yet whether to move the capital to Xi'an or Peiping."

After Zhu Biao heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he suddenly realized:

"No wonder my father wanted to entrust the second and fourth sons to Xi'an and Peiping. It turned out to be to prepare for moving the capital in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and Queen Ma on the side took the opportunity to say:

"Chongba, didn’t you see what Tiandao said about Lao Si just now? Yongle prosperous age, what does this mean?"

"Just like you, the fourth child is also a good emperor who cares about the people."

"Humph, I'm afraid it's because like Li Shimin, he stole the throne and feels guilty, and is afraid that he won't have the face to see us, so that's why he behaves like this, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang controlled Zhu Di's thoughts so hard that Zhu Di did not dare to speak.

Seeing that Zhu Di remained silent, Zhu Yuanzhang continued:

"Fourth child, if one day you really become the emperor, we hope you will not forget what heaven has said about you, so that you can take care of yourself!!"

【The original city of Yingtian was renamed Nanjing, and Peiping was renamed Beijing, also known as the Capital.】

【When Zhu Di was building Beijing, he paid great attention to the overall planning of the city. He built several main lines and branch lines, planned the urban area of ​​Beijing into neatly shaped squares, and formulated strict regulations to prohibit random building and construction, and also laid complete sewer system】

【Zhu Di planned to move the capital, but moving the capital was by no means smooth sailing. When Zhu Di first proposed his plan to move the capital, there were very few people who responded.】

【The reason is very simple. Except for those people who Zhu Dijing could not bring over, most of the ministers of the imperial court have lived in the south for a long time. Their wives and children are all in Nanjing. In addition, in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, life is generous and the environment is beautiful. Who can really Are you willing to follow Zhu Di and go to the north to enjoy the wind and eat sand?】

【Not long after the capital was moved, a fire broke out in the palace, and natural disasters occurred in many places across the country. At that time, people called them natural disasters. Some ministers attributed these things to the disaster caused by the capital move.】

【Although Zhu Di inherited the fine tradition of Zhu Yuanzhang and was ruthless and ruthless in doing things, he was already a little guilty about this kind of heavenly vision. Now he became even more panicked and asked his ministers for advice in order to make up for his mistakes.】

【But what he didn't expect was that the ministers took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on him】

【Therefore, many ministers took this opportunity to state the disadvantages of moving the capital, and said that the natural disasters were caused by moving the capital. Among them, Xiao Yi, the minister in charge, had the most intense words, and historical records record that Yi's words were particularly harsh.】

【But Zhu Di is by no means a person who swallows his anger. This person dared to scold Zhu Di, and he was naturally chopped into pieces by Zhu Di.】

【This has stirred up a hornet's nest. You must know that scholars are not easy to mess with. They have listened to the words of sages since childhood and consider themselves disciples of sages. They are born with iron heads and are not afraid of death. These civil servants have mentioned the above and want to seek justice for Xiao Yi.】

【There was a surge of public opinion, and civil servants gathered outside the Meridian Gate to publicly criticize Zhu Di.】

【If he were a weak-minded emperor, he would probably be unsettled in the face of this situation, but who was Zhu Di?】

【He has been a vassal king for decades, has made great achievements in battle, and is an iron-blooded emperor who has walked through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Would he be afraid of these people?】

【Zhu Di directly issued an order, insisting on his opinion and firming up his determination to move the capital. He told all ministers that the capital must be moved, and anyone who dared to oppose it would be killed without mercy!】

【It took courage for Zhu Di to do this. Even when the opponents were in the majority, he dared to stick to his point of view and never give in.】

【But I have to say that there are pros and cons to moving the capital.】

【If the capital is not moved, the Tatars and Oaras in the north, these nomads will continue to invade the borders, and the Ming Empire cannot respond in time. This is a major drawback.】

【However, if the capital is moved, it will waste people and money, and lead to corruption. More importantly, Beijing is less than fifty miles away from the border, which is equivalent to moving the capital under the nose of the enemy.】

【Once the enemy breaks through the Great Wall, they will be able to attack Beijing in a blink of an eye. By then, Kyoto will be surrounded, and the world will be in turmoil. If Kyoto is broken again, the world will be leaderless, and the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed.】

【However, Zhu Di still resolutely chose to move the capital. He was an iron-blooded emperor and an emperor who dared to make choices. He knew that moving the capital was a big project and was time-consuming and labor-intensive, but he thought it was all worth it. 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【Zhu Di accurately judged that the biggest factor affecting the long-term stability of the Ming Empire was Mongolia in the north. If he wanted to live peacefully in the future, he must give up his immediate interests and move the capital to Beijing. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to escape the misfortune of the Southern Song Dynasty.】

【Zhu Di's prediction was good. At that time, the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty still came from the north.】

【Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, this neighbor, has always been a headache for the Ming Dynasty. There have been countless wars and negotiations. Tatar, later changed from Tatar to Oara】

【But no matter how hard they fought, they never stopped. After decades of fighting, the Mongolian army had been reduced to poverty. But the poorer they were, the more desperate they were to plunder. Every autumn and winter, it was the time for Mongolia to go south to plunder.】

【In fact, this is understandable. The Mongols in the Mobei grassland have nothing but cattle, sheep and horses. They have no handicrafts and agriculture of their own, and they can't even make a pot for eating.】

【In addition, the closed policy implemented by the Ming Dynasty did not give the Mongols any chance to trade. Even if these Mongols wanted to exchange things with the Ming Dynasty, they would not have the chance.】

【Under this situation, the Mongols had only one way to go: plunder. The Mongols came to plunder every year, and the Ming Dynasty continued to send troops to attack these robbers.】

【The hatred between the two sides continued to deepen during this mutual fighting. Because of this, the centuries-old fight between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia began.】

【Mongolia during the Zhu Di period was also dishonest. The Tatar Grand Master Arutai at that time was a man with strong traditional values ​​and daydreamed about restoring the glory of the Mongol Empire.】

【Driven by this motive, Arutai supported the Yuan Dynasty clan Benya Shili as Khan and began to plan an attack on the Ming Dynasty.】

【At that time, the Mongolian grassland had gradually lost control of all Mongolia due to the war with the Ming Dynasty. Mongolia had actually been divided into three parts, namely, the Tatars, Oaras, and the Ulyankhas.】

【The Tatars are the tribe of Benyasi. They occupy the Mongolian plateau, are ruled by the Golden Family, and belong to Mongolian orthodoxy.】

【Oara, also known as Ximengu, occupied western Mongolia. After the death of leader Mengke Timur in the early Ming Dynasty, Oara was led by Mahamu....】

【The three guards of Wuliangha were actually the three guards of Duoyan who participated in the Battle of Jingnan. Under Zhu Yuanzhang's attack, these Mongolians finally chose to submit to the Ming Dynasty.】

【After the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di rewarded the Three Duoyan Guards and exchanged trade with them. They occupied the Liaodong area, paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and accepted the command of the Ming Dynasty.】

【It has to be said that it is sad that the former Yuan Empire was divided into three parts. Although these three parts are all tribes composed of Mongols, the relationship between them is extremely complicated. Of course, this complicated relationship is largely due to It was intentionally caused by the Ming Dynasty】

【The Tatar tribe considers themselves to be Mongol orthodox and looks down on the other two tribes. Moreover, they have a deep hatred against the Ming Dynasty and have always adopted a hostile attitude.】

【The Wara are different. They were originally slaves of the Golden Family. However, after the decline of the Golden Family, they took the opportunity to rise up and attempt to gain dominance over Mongolia.】

【In order to fight against the Tatars, the Ming Dynasty chose to support Oara. They gave Oara titles and provided assistance so that Oara could fight against the Tatars.】

【In the mind of Mahamu, the leader of Oara, tribal conflicts are greater than ethnic conflicts. He does not like the Ming Dynasty, but he hates the Tatars who always point fingers and regard themselves as leaders.】

【Therefore, Oara and the Ming Dynasty formed an alliance to fight and weaken the Tatars】

【The three guards of Wuliangha were quite honest during Zhu Di's period, but this friendship was not stable. Although they paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and obeyed the Ming Dynasty's command, they were Mongolians after all, and they had nothing to do with the Tatars and Oarakzhi. There are countless connections between】

【After the Tatar Grand Master of Mongolia supported Benya Shili as Khan, he pursued a policy of confrontation and severed relations with the Ming Dynasty. What was even worse was that in April of the seventh year of Yongle, the Tatars killed the Ming Dynasty envoy Guo Guo. Ji】

【This move angered Zhu Di, who also sent troops northward. Unfortunately, Qiu Fu underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. In the end, one hundred thousand Han family members were buried in Mobei.】

【Zhu Di was extremely angry. He cursed Qiu Fu for being incompetent, but scolding people would not solve the problem. In the end, he still had to think about how to deal with these Mongolian Tatars.】

【In Zhu Di's view, the Ming army's combat effectiveness is still very strong. The reason why it was defeated was because of the incompetence of the coach. But who can represent Qiu Fu in the expedition and will definitely win?】

【After much thought, Zhu Di chose one person, and that person was himself.】

【1.4 Looking at the whole world, he is the only one who knows the Tatars best, is also the most familiar with cavalry combat, and has experience in fighting outside the border.】

【Therefore, seven years after the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di once again put on his armor, picked up his sword, and prepared to go to the battlefield to defeat his enemies.】

【Different from all previous wars, before he was a prince, a vassal king, and had the responsibility of guarding the land, but now he is the emperor】[]

【The last battle of Jingnan was for the throne. This time he fought personally for the sake of the country!】

【Zhu Di was not only an excellent emperor, but also an excellent general. This ability to mount a charge and dismount to govern the country is really rare.】

【Zhu Di completely inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's philosophy of life, and he must do everything he can, and this time was no exception. In order to deal a fatal blow to the Tatars, he issued a general mobilization order, ordering all the soldiers north of the Yangtze River who could be mobilized to mobilize immediately. North gathers,】

【In January of the eighth year of Yongle, the troops were assembled, totaling 500,000, and Zhu Di appointed himself as commander. This was Zhu Di's first northern expedition after he ascended the throne, and his great beginning would also begin here.】.......The dividing line..
