Comprehensive martial arts: start with a fire dragon ball

Chapter 5 Cause and Effect
Zhu Di, as a person who forcibly robbed his own nephew of the throne by virtue of the "Battle of Jingnan", he was of course extremely strong during his reign.

However, after all, his throne was not based on the right path, so in order to consolidate his rights, he also tried his best.

The two most important measures, one is to move the capital, which moved the capital of Ming Dynasty from Jinling to the present Yanjing.

This move directly transferred the political center of Ming Dynasty from Jinling to Yanjing.

Because this Yanjing was originally his back cover when he was a prince, it was his foundation, and Zhu Di had a great influence here.

Unlike Jinling, although he is outstanding, he is not at ease. After all, in Jinling, Zhu Yuanzhang has too much influence, and he is not Zhu Yuanzhang's chosen successor.

Strictly speaking, for Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di is just a "rebel", the person who usurped his grandson's throne.

In order to deepen his control over the country, Zhu Di decided to build a new capital in his base camp.

The second is to repair the "Yongle Dadian", which is known as the most wonderful book in ancient and modern times. The purpose of Zhu Di's doing this is actually to win the hearts of those civil servants.

In this way, he can make the name of the person who repaired the book stay in the history, and he summoned a large number of famous scholars to help him do things.

And once those highly respected literati failed to resist such temptations, then Zhu Di could use the influence of these people to summon their disciples for his own use.

Facts have proved that these two measures by Zhu Di are indeed extremely effective. Daming has indeed stabilized quickly, and the rule of his lineage of Zhu Di has gradually become the true orthodoxy of Daming.

However, all of these were just appearances, and Chu Wanxin from later generations knew that the decisive factor for Zhu Di to secure the throne was not the above two measures, but Zhu Di's firm grip on Daming's military power.

As long as Daming's army is still under Zhu Di's control, his throne will be secure.

This is why Zhu Di dared to go out to fight with confidence and handed over the rear to Zhu Gaochi.

Of course, there are reasons why he believes that his eldest son will not rebel, but more, it is true that Zhu Gaochi's influence on the army is extremely weak, and he is not as good as the Han King Zhu Gaoxu who has been fighting with Zhu Di.

It was also after seeing this that Zhu Gaoxu had some thoughts about the throne.

After all, as long as Zhu Di is gone, the most influential person in the Ming army will be him who has been in the army since he was a child.

Regarding this point, Chu Wanxin believes that Zhu Gaochi can also see it, but this is a knot.

After all, once Zhu Gaochi, who has already taken control of the court, is in contact with the army, he may be able to directly empty Zhu Di, which Zhu Di will never allow.

Knowing this, Zhu Gaochi knew that it was impossible for him to have access to Daming's military power before Zhu Di's death, but it was also impossible for him to watch the King of Han continue to deepen his influence over the army.

So he directly sent his only son, the "good grandson" Zhu Zhanji, to Zhu Di's side, and let Zhu Zhanji, who would not let Zhu Di be afraid, to fight for military power with his second uncle.

If Chu Wanxin guessed correctly this time, the matter of Jin Yiwei going out to collect money this time may be related to the Ming army.

After all, Zhu Di is no longer young now, and his control over the army has gradually begun to loosen.

Therefore, the battle for the army between Zhu Zhanji and the King of Han became more and more intense.

And the most efficient way to expand one's influence in the army is to win one victory after another on the battlefield.

It's just that although Daming's national strength is not weak, and the people can be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment, the cash in the treasury really doesn't seem to be much.

After all, in order to transfer the political center of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di directly filled a large lake and built the current Yanjing City on a piece of wasteland.

The expenses involved can be imagined, if it weren't for the fact that Daming still had a bit of background at that time, he would have been in ruins immediately.

After that, after many years of recuperation by Zhu Di and his son, the national power of the Ming Dynasty recovered a little bit, and "Yongle Dadian" came again.

This was another event that spread across the country, making Daming's treasury bottom out again.

Therefore, it is really difficult for Da Ming to launch a war at this time.

After all, as the saying goes: before the three armies move, food and grass go first!

Once the army moved, it would cost a lot just to eat horse chews every day, not to mention that once a war started, the army's salary would have to be raised.

Once the military salary can't keep up, causing complaints in the hearts of the soldiers in the army, it will be the foundation of Daming that will be shaken.

In this way, if you want to start a war, you can only make money first.

Thinking of this, Chu Wanxin immediately got up, walked out of Nanzhen Fusi, and walked towards Dongchang.

As Zhu Di's close minister, Chu Tianxing must have understood the twists and turns, and in order not to arouse Chu Tianxing's suspicion, Chu Wanxin also wanted to report to Chu Tianxing about his going out of Beijing.

When he came outside the palace, Chu Wanxin asked the gatekeeper to deliver a message to Chu Tianxing and left.

After all, as a man, of course he couldn't enter the palace at will, and even Chu Tianxing couldn't do anything about it.

In the past, if he wanted to see Chu Tianxing, he just had to ask the guard to send a message like this. When Chu Tianxing was free, he would take the initiative to come out of the palace to see Chu Wanxin.

It's just that Chu Wanxin didn't do this kind of thing a few times, after all, he didn't want to see Chu Tianxing's face either.

After passing the news to Chu Tianxing, Chu Wanxin went straight back to Nanzhen Fusi to continue paddling.

When he returned home after get off work, he heard a report from his subordinates that Chu Tianxing was already waiting for him at home.

After hearing what the servant said, Chu Wan didn't care about changing clothes, so he went to see Chu Tian directly.

"My child pays homage to foster father!"

When Chu Wanxin saw Chu Tianxing, he was sitting on the main seat in the lobby drinking tea. Seeing this, Chu Wanxin hurried forward to salute.

"Ok!"

Seeing Chu Wanxin's performance, Chu Tianxing nodded in satisfaction and asked him to sit down.

"You're looking for me, but you want to ask about the trip out of Beijing?"

After Chu Wanxin sat down, without waiting for him to ask any questions, Chu Tianxing took the initiative to bring up the matter of leaving Beijing.

"Yes, I don't know how the foster father knows the secret?"

Hearing Chu Tianxing's words, Chu Wanxin immediately pretended to be a little puzzled, as if he didn't know the inside story at all.

"Hehe, there are indeed many secrets in it..."

After hearing Chu Wanxin's words, a smile appeared on Chu Tianxing's pale face.

Then he told Chu Wanxin the secrets of this operation one by one.

After listening to Chu Tianxing's narration, Chu Wanxin was completely stunned.

The direction he had guessed before was roughly correct, but not comprehensive.
