Chapter 27
“Therefore, the key to the problem is not only expansion, but also governance. If the conquered land is not managed well, the territory will not be defended.……”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Heng and frowned:”Do we have to replace all the officials in the imperial court so that our dynasty can have a chance to expand?”
“I said, why are you worrying about this? Zhu Heng gave him a puzzled look:”That’s a matter for the imperial court. What does it have to do with you?””
“Brother……”Zhu Biao quickly said:”The rise and fall of a country is closely related to the destiny of the individual. Knowing my future direction, we can make plans in advance.””
“What’s the layout? Zhu Heng rolled his eyes and said,”If you have that kind of money, why not go to Peking to buy a house?””
“I estimate that the imperial court will move its capital in the future, and Peiping will become the new capital of the Ming Dynasty!”
Zhu Heng’s voice was light, but when he said this, Zhu Biao was stunned.
Then he smiled and said:”Where did the capital move come from? Father, don’t you think… huh?”
He turned around to look, only to find that Zhu Yuanzhang did not refute, but looked at Zhu Heng in surprise. What does this mean? Does his father really have the idea of moving the capital? And it was not just Zhu Biao who discovered this. Li Shanchang and others looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in shock, but Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Heng in shock and said,”Why do you think the emperor wants to move the capital?
”
“In fact, the reason is very simple. To put it bluntly, it’s nothing, just eight words.”Zhu Heng took a sip of tea, lay down on the rocking chair, and said lazily:”The Huns are not exterminated, so why do we have a family?”
“Even though Beiyuan was beaten and suppressed, as long as they still have a breath left, they will still have a chance to make a comeback in the future.”
“The economic center of our country is in the south. It can even be said that our economy only circulates in the south. In terms of economy, the south and the north are like two countries!”
“If the political center of gravity is also located in the south, the world will become the world of southerners. Once the north is invaded, the court will easily make the decision to abandon the north.”
“But the temper of the current emperor determines that he will not be one of those weak emperors in the Southern Song Dynasty. If he wants to defend the north, the easiest way is to move the capital!”
“Therefore, the matter of moving the capital is not a matter of whether, but a matter of sooner or later. If you don’t want to be the Southern Song Dynasty, you must move the capital.”
Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes became solemn, especially when he heard Zhu Heng’s words,”It’s not whether or not, but sooner or later.” He even nodded slightly unconsciously.
These words came to his heart.
The Ming Dynasty cannot be reduced to the Southern Song Dynasty. , he wants to create a prosperous age in China!
Now there are two major factions in the court, namely the Huaixi Xungui and the Zhedong Group.
But they have one thing in common, that is, they are all from the south!
This will inevitably lead to an imbalance between the north and the south.
Just like what Zhu Heng said, if the north is in danger in the future and the Huaixi and Zhejiang groups dominate the court, he will probably insist on abandoning the north! The strategy of moving the capital was something he thought about for a long time in private, but because of the matter.
It was serious and might cause turmoil in the court. He didn’t even mention it to Zhu Biao.
In addition, there was another reason. He had never thought about the location of moving the capital.
In fact, Xi’an could also be…
After all, that place is called Eight Hundred Miles. Qinchuan, surrounded by undulating mountains and dangerous passes such as Hangu, Xiaoguan, Dashan, Wuguan, Tongguan, and Jinsuo, can be said to be impregnable.
However, it now seems that…
Zhu Heng’s choice of Beiping is even more radical.
“Beiping is too close to the border. What if Beiping is captured? Doesn’t the Ming Dynasty want to perish? Wouldn’t an ancient capital like Xi’an be better?”
He looked at Zhu Heng seriously.
Zhu Biao and others were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhu Heng in disbelief.
Zhu Yuanzhang said this very clearly, Zhu Heng… really guessed his thoughts correctly?
You know , they followed Zhu Yuanzhang all day long, but they didn’t notice any clues about the capital move.
Zhu Heng, an outsider, could know…
This can only mean one thing – his ideas on governing the country coincide with Zhu Yuanzhang’s.!
Think the same way as the emperor… Who is this Zhu Heng?
“Father, we can’t talk about this anymore.……”Zhu Biao’s expression suddenly changed and he said immediately.
Moving the capital will change the political center of the Ming Dynasty, and its impact will be far-reaching. Once leaked, it will be resisted by the court dominated by southerners.
The leaders of these two factions, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, are all here.
Even if you want to say it, you have to tell Zhu Heng in private.
Zhu Heng said doubtfully:”It’s just a small talk, why are you nervous?”
“That’s right, it’s just chatting. Do you think there are still people who talk nonsense?”When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he glanced at Li Shanchang lightly.
Li Shanchang felt bitter in his mouth, but said categorically:”Of course not, this theory will not be known to outsiders!”
“But……”Zhu Biao hesitated for a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,”We are buying a family property for you, so just listen!”
“yes……”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Heng and said in a deep voice:
“Moving the capital is a big deal, don’t blame me for asking more carefully. After all, if I buy the house in the wrong place, my family will suffer a lot of losses.”
“learn.”Zhu Heng lay on the rocking chair and continued to work as a real estate consultant:
“There are many reasons for this, but in my opinion, the main one is”
“Rainfall!”
“this……”Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
He had considered privately that many military and political factors, such as the peaceful location of Xi’an, made it difficult to control the overall situation.
For example, Xi’an has experienced many wars and is dilapidated.
But rainfall?
