Chapter 155: Trade-offs

Zhu Xiongying just asked Xu Da and Li Wenzhong some things carefully, and now he has no plans to send troops to Goryeo immediately. Although he is slowly trying to take over military power, many things still need to be negotiated with Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.

.

Zhu Xiongying is still just the crown prince. Even if he is delegated, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants.

This is the case. After Zhu Xiongying summoned Xu Da and Li Wenzhong, Lao Zhu immediately asked Zhu Xiongying to go to Wuying Palace.

Holding the teacup, Zhu Xiongying jokingly said, "At this time, ordinary people are still celebrating the New Year, and we are busy dealing with military and national affairs. Even if we want to enjoy the Lantern Festival lanterns, we must plan carefully."

Zhu Biao leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "If you want to go play, no one will stop you. We want you to observe politics and experience more, but we are all right, so naturally we don't.

Will force it."

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but smile, but he didn't believe it, "Dad, I'm your own son, that's not possible! If I go to eat, drink and have fun, I will be scolded. If I don't do anything, you must find some reasons.

Let me participate in the government affairs.”

Old Zhu couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This is his eldest son. His blunt knife cuts his flesh with perfection. Many of the methods looked very gentle, but the effect was surprisingly good.

Zhu Biao continued to ask at this time, "What are your plans for Goryeo?"

Zhu Xiongying just asked, "Dad, can Goryeo envoys be in Beijing now?"

"Of course there are some, but we are too lazy to summon him." Zhu Biao smiled and said to Zhu Xiongying, "I always feel that it is not appropriate to work hard to expedition in a remote place. Emperor Yang of Sui suffered losses and generals, which led to the turmoil in the world."

Emperor Yang of Sui fought against Goguryeo three times, which was indeed a bit dismal. Although the Tang Dynasty eventually defeated Goguryeo and Baekje many times and eventually destroyed Goguryeo, these did consume a lot of people's strength.

Of course, Goguryeo and the current Wang Goryeo have no inheritance relationship, and these are also two different regimes. However, the territory has great overlap, so all of this naturally has a little commonality. For the rulers of the Central Plains dynasty,

Whether it is Goryeo or Goguryeo, it is actually just that.

Zhu Xiongying also said at this time, "Grandfather, after the Northern Expedition was made contributions, his grandson thought about consolidating the peace of the northern border. The south of the desert must be under our control, and naturally Liaodong cannot lose control."

Lao Zhu smiled and nodded, and said confidently, "This is naturally. I have set up garrisons in Liaodong for many years. Next, your uncles should be the vassal of the princes, and then the kings will be separated by each other.

, Monan is where we herd horses."

These are indeed the first line of defense in the northern border established by Lao Zhu, and will soon have the opportunity to take shape.

Many people always think that Peking would be a border, but in fact everything was caused by Zhu Zhanji's migration of some garrisons. Now the places in the south of the desert are all the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, from the northeast to the northwest of the desert, which is solid.

line of defense.

With these guards and such kings, nomadic peoples could not be defeated and moved south. The reality is that nomadic peoples in Lingbei Province had to always face the threat of the princes invading the ranch territory. They could not defeat the Ming Dynasty at all.

.

Zhu Xiongying also said at this time, "I am thinking about extending the defense line now, starting from the Goryeo area. The most important thing is to let the unfilial descendants of the future generations understand that Liaodong and the southern desert cannot be lost!"

Isn't that the case? Many people say that the international student emperor ruined the Ming Dynasty's military honors and the Beijing army, which made the powerful Ming army take a sharp turn. But here we have to say that Zhu Zhanji moved the garrison that governed the nomadic peoples and voluntarily gave up.

Annan, Old Port, all this made the Ming Dynasty, which had originally expanded and attacked outward, begin to defence.

You should know that the Ming Dynasty at that time should have been the time when the country was rich and the people were strong, and the military was at its peak!

Although Zhu Zhanji is unlikely to have a chance to ascend the throne now, Zhu Xiongying is also worried that if he has a grandson and great-grandson will run around the Wala in boredom, and he is also worried that his descendants will voluntarily give up some military fortresses.

.

Zhu Biao suddenly asked, "If you move the capital, do you want to go to Peiping?"

Zhu Xiongying immediately nodded and said, "Of course I think so. Although there is a bit remote now, as long as I become a capital, I will definitely be prosperous."

Zhu Biao asked again, "If you really want to go there, you may not have enough food. Then you will have to transport the canal again, which is a burden."

This is the truth. If the capital of Peiping was established, there would definitely be no way to produce grain there to support the capital. At that time, maybe it would have to transport grain through the canal transport and transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River. If it is transported by sea, Tianjin has not yet built a city.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Biao and joked, "Dad, the Xi'an you like is not good either. Although Guanzhong has always been the first choice for building a capital, Guanzhong is now exhausted and cannot afford to support the people."

Zhu Biao immediately didn't know what to say. Xi'an and Chang'an were indeed a good place. But I don't know when it started, and those places produced a lot less grain. If the capital was established in Xi'an, it would definitely be necessary to transport grain.

Past.

Kaifeng certainly cannot do it. The former capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is next to the Yellow River, so this reason alone cannot do it. The Yellow River has become a river hanging on the ground, and the capital cannot be exposed to floods at any time.

It is not possible to continue to stay in Yingtian Prefecture. There has never been a unified dynasty in history that has established its capital in the south.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty is also rich in the south, but the north is almost ghostly. This is not a joke. After experiencing the Jurchens and Mongolia, let alone north of the Yellow River, there are places with abundant water and grass in the north of the Huai River. Shandong and other places are no longer

It is arable land, but a horse farm!

Since the Jin Dynasty, Henan, Hebei, Central Plains, and Shandong are all horse farms, and there are fewer and fewer Han people there.

Old Zhu listened with a smile, and Zhu Biao also looked at Zhu Xiongying with a smile, wanting to see Zhu Xiongying talking.

Zhu Xiongying became serious and said seriously, "I want to move the capital to Beiping, just because I think about the hearts of the people in the north. For five hundred years, the Han people in the north don't think they are Han people. If we don't win over the hearts of the Han people in the north,

By then those places will be aliens.”

Zhu Biao suddenly said at this time, "If you go to Peiping, will you win over the hearts of the Han people? If you go to Xi'an, will that be the case?"

Zhu Biao was not polite and snorted coldly, "Now we are strong and the Tartars naturally dare not go south. But you have to remember that there are many garrisons in the south of the desert, and this is all based on the north and equal places. If it is in the future,

With unworthy descendants, the Tartars rushed south, so what?”

Zhu Xiongying was speechless for a moment. He knew that what Zhu Biao said was reasonable.

Zhu Biao was not polite and immediately said, "From Liaodong to Pingliang, the kings and kings are also our Ming defense line. The key to this is your fourth uncle, your second uncle, your fifth uncle and others will guard the front line.

Uncle Eleven guards the south of the Yangtze River, and there are natural dangers in the Yangtze River, so we can defend it with our advance and retreat."

Zhu Xiongying opened his mouth. He thought that moving the capital to Peiping would win the hearts of the people, but he did not consider the threat from the north more. In the Central Plains dynasty, nomadic peoples were always the most core danger. Determining the capital to Peiping, the requirements for the emperor were very high.

The emergence of a mediocre emperor is likely to expose the capital to the threat of the enemy.

Mo Nan is now under the control of the Ming Dynasty, but it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Zhu Xiongying cannot guarantee that his descendants are all wise and powerful, and that Zhu Zhanji and the like will appear.

Lao Zhu no longer concealed it and said with a smile, "Beiping, I will definitely not go, don't think too much in the future. I know there is no perfect solution, but you have to remember it well, and future generations may not have us wise.

You have to think about these things so that they can have a place to save their lives.”

Zhu Xiongying thought about it and said, "Grandfather, but I think if I go to Xi'an, my second uncle will definitely move away."

"That's his fate." Old Zhu said calmly, "No matter how much I love my son, I can't ruin the country. Then choose a good place for him, and your second uncle should understand."

Zhu Xiongying seemed to understand that he could not get involved in the movement of the capital. Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao had already made a decision.

Zhu Biao, in history, fell ill and died while inspecting Xi'an, so that Lao Zhu no longer had the energy to move the capital.

But if Zhu Xiongying moved the capital to Xi'an, he would not dare to think about it. If he arrived in Xi'an, he would obviously be a little powerless to develop the Age of Discovery.

This is no wonder Lao Zhu. Although Lao Zhu is very talented, he is also the limitation of the times.

Who in the Central Plains dynasty could have thought what kind of gains could have brought about by the great voyage? Who could have thought that the great voyage would actually be the beginning of the next civilization and prosperity.

"Grandfather, then here in Yingtian Mansion?" Zhu Xiongying was still a little unwilling to accept it and said, "If we leave Yingtian Mansion, the prosperous land of Jiangnan will inevitably become corrupt. At that time, the Jiangnan family may not necessarily begin to grow."

Lao Zhu said with a smile, "How can people do everything go well? If you don't go to the north, the people will be hard to conquer. If you go to the south, the people in the north will have to oppose them. If you go to the north, there will inevitably be some abandonment in Jiangnan.

You can only continue to supervise.”

What Lao Zhu said is the truth. If everything is perfect, it is impossible. What you can do is to think about the overall situation as much as possible. This is the way to make choices.

This is not a casual talk. Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao have actually made some choices now.

It’s better to do your duty steadily. Zhu Xiongying really has a long-term vision. But if it’s too long, it may be too ambitious. It’s more important to solve the current situation first.

Twenty or fifty years of things will not be resolved. You are joking about what happens in two hundred years or five hundred years!
