Hoo, the Ganqing Palace suddenly exploded.

"Why did Prince Yan speak wildly?"

"What a big deal to move the capital? All the people in the ancestral temples, the country and the country are known?"

"The capital of the Ming Dynasty was settled early, where will the land where the tiger occupies a dragon plate in Jinling move?"

"Can the capital be moved to protect the northern border? It's simply a slander."

"Don't your Highness know how much national effort it takes to move the capital?"

In an instant, countless mouths were directly aimed at Zhu Gaochi.

Even his uncle Xu Huizu couldn't help it, and turned around in surprise, with a faint warning in his eyes.

But Zhu Gaochi remained motionless and looked at the emperor on the throne.

"The emperor wants to use you, just do it well. Don't lose my face, don't lose our people!"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly remembered what his father Zhu Di said when he was leaving.

My father is old, and he wants to support this family now. He is not as good as his father, and he can only rely on the strategies and talents in his heart.

If you continue to do nothing, let alone be responsible for the whole family, it is a question whether you can keep it.

"Dad is right. What does a real man always have to do when he was born in the world!" he said in his heart.

Although Zhu Yunxiu's expression remained unchanged, he was also a little surprised.

Zhu Gaochi, this fat man, can't beat a single fart with three sticks on weekdays, so why did he just thunder on the ground today?

The capital of Yingtian Prefecture was actually a temporary solution at the beginning. The Ming Dynasty had just established a country, and the war in the north was still there, and it was impossible for a country to be built in a ruined place.

Moreover, the Jinling area is the basic foundation of the old man, controlling the essence of Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and supporting the Northern Expedition with the financial and taxation army in these places.

But after the Central Plains war was pacified, the problem of Yingtian Prefecture as the capital of a country began to emerge.

The most direct thing is that it is too far from the north and it is difficult to control the entire north. Once there is war on the border, it is impossible to miss the opportunity to fight. If you use heavy troops, you must be careful that the tail and tail cannot defeat the threat center.

To go further, economy, people's livelihood, north and south...

Zhu Yunxiu looked at Zhu Gaochi and slowly spoke, "Move the capital? Where to move?"

Zhu Gaochi faced Zhu Yunxi's encouraging eyes and said, "Of course it's Peking!"

"All nonsense!" As soon as the words were finished, some ministers jumped out to object.

"How can the capital be made in the border areas of Peiping?"

"Once the Hu people's iron hooves go south, Beiping is in danger. How can a country's capital be established in a place of war?"

For a moment, countless mouths were pointed at Zhu Gaochi again.

"Listen to him!" Zhu Yunxiu said lightly, and the Ganqing Palace suddenly became quiet.

"Emperor!" Zhu Gaochi stood up and bowed, "I am not aimless! If the emperor wants to be the lord of the city, the Ming Dynasty can only use Yingtian Mansion as its capital. But if the emperor intends to be pioneering and enterprising, he will wipe out the stubborn diseases of the previous dynasties and has the ambition to swallow mountains and rivers, I think he should move the capital to Beiping!"

"Of course, moving the capital to Peiping will cost countless national strength and make the people more burdened. The population of labor alone will be as high as one million. In addition, Peking is far less prosperous than Yingtian, and all the rice, grain and other goods required will be transported by the canal, which will be even more exhausting and injuring the people."

"But in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages! Because of the capital of Beiping, it faces the three northeastern Ming Dynasty. Northeast China, northwest controls the outer edge of the Great Wall, northeast controls Liaodong, and north China controls the entire North China Plain. It can also integrate the power of Hebei, Henan and Shandong, and use Shanxi as a barrier."

"As for what you say is a place where wars are dangerous, it's a big mistake! The natural barrier of Yanshan Taihang Mountain is much stronger than the natural danger of the Yangtze River, right? There are Bohai Sea, Jiaodong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula in the east, and they are naturally victorious!"

"What if it is even the place where the four battles are? Just fight. With Beiping as the capital, there are men from Yan and Zhao as the army of tigers and wolfs, and they are supported by Jiangnan finance and taxation, but are you still afraid that you will not win?"

"Everyone, if you want to maintain peace in the frontier forever, you can only fight. If you retreat to Peking, you can be a national gate, and you can be an outpost."

Speaking of this, he bowed, "Emperor, if the territory of the Ming Dynasty is as long as the thirteen provinces of the Han area, then although the capital Yingtian lacks the intention to enter, it can be maintained. But if the emperor sees the northwest and other places outside the border as the land of China, Yingtian will be a big disadvantage!"

"And, it's not an exaggeration. The country's strength is not always strong. If the north does not work hard, it will be too late to regret it if there is any change the next day!"

After a loud voice, Zhu Gaochi looked around the ministers with his head held high and his chest held high.

He, Prince Yan, has been holding his tail in the capital for too long, and he has only revealed his other side today.

"All nonsense!"

"Rich and ridiculous!"

"Serious!"

The ministers in the hall started to scream again in dissatisfaction.

"Fatty, he looks like you!" Zhu Yunxiu said in his heart.

What he said was right was not Yingtian’s bad, but Yingtian had a natural disadvantage compared to Peking, as the vast imperial capital.

Later generations often said that the Ming Dynasty was the emperor guarding the country's borders. In fact, in Zhu Yunyu's opinion, this was correct and not correct.

The correct thing is that Peking is indeed the foundation of the country.

But the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Peiping for the most fundamental purpose. It was not to defend the country's borders at all, but to fight out and rule the territory shining by the sun and the moon in a legal name.

It’s not that the emperor guards the country’s gates, but that the emperor hunts the border! Hunting at the border!

Peiping can strengthen control over the northeast and northwest to ensure that more troops can be mobilized and face the provocations of strong enemies in the north.

In addition to military, it is more important to be regional and economic.

At this time, the economic center of the Ming Dynasty was in the south, and these places in Henan, Hebei and Shandong were destroyed by the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, due to the hundreds of years of separation, the north and the south urgently needed a link that could communicate with the north and the south.

In addition, establishing capital in Peiping can rapidly develop commerce in Northwest China. Commodities in the south go north along the canal sea road, and the huge domestic demand in the north can also make the southern economy more prosperous, all of which complement each other.

The most important thing is that Yingtian Mansion in Jinling is too indulgent.

"Your Highness the Prince needs to move the capital to maintain peace in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty forever!" At this time, the Minister of Revenue Zhang Jue slowly spoke, "I think it is indeed a bit... whimsical!"

"If Beiping is the capital, the city and palaces need to be built, and the canal transport to the north and south of the canal will be opened. At that time, I am afraid that the little money that I have finally accumulated in the Ming Dynasty will be...wasted again!"

"What Zhang Shangshu said is very much! Moving one household at a time is not a trivial matter, let alone my Ming Dynasty?"

"Moving the capital to Peiping? Isn't this a whimsical idea?"

"Young people really dare to think and really dare to say!"

"Even if the capital is moved, why go to Peking?"

"The court has passed, where are you Yanfan?"

The ministers were once again talking about it. Many people scoffed at Zhu Gaochi's proposal, but many people were bowing their heads and pondering.

"Frog in the well!" Zhu Gaochi was disdainful, "The capital was moved to Beiping, and there were no vassals in the north of the Ming Dynasty! Isn't this trick more open and powerful than thinking about how to reduce the vassals?"

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand slightly, and the hall became quiet again.

"Crown Prince Yan just said it casually, and he was rushing to the point!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Even if he moved the capital, it would not be a matter of just a few words and court meetings!" As he said, he looked at the ministers and continued, "I'm asking Zhu's beloved today to talk about the war between the Northern Yuan and the Oirat, so don't go off topic!"
