Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

The fast horse carrying the message soon arrived outside the Ming emperor's palace.

After passing various inspections and notifications, the good news and the messenger finally came to Zhu Jianzhuo.

Zhu Jianzhuo was the messenger who received him on his sickbed.

Today, Zhu Jiazhuo is sick again. His physical condition is not very good and he is very dizzy.

In fact, it is not a serious disease, it is simply complications such as hyperglycemia and hypertension caused by obesity.

Although it doesn't cost anyone's life, it is quite torture.

Need to rest properly!

Otherwise, it may get worse.

And this is also the main reason why Zhu Jiazhuo wants to abdicate.

In the past few years, the throne has been seated, and although Ming Dynasty has recovered, his physical condition has deteriorated rapidly.

If he cannot abdicate and rest, Lao Zhu is afraid that he will not live a good life for a few years.

However, even though Zhu Jianzhuo was ill, when he heard the news about the success of the Northern Expedition, he still ordered the messenger to be brought to him and received him despite his illness.

Zhu Jianzhuo was also very concerned about the situation on the front line.

"Your Majesty, our army won a great victory in the Battle of Baliqiao, almost annihilating the main force of the Qing army, beheading Yonglin and Fukang'an, and capturing Yongrong, Yongyan and other senior Manchu Qing officials..."

"The number of captured war horses alone exceeds 100,000! The rest of the supplies are uncountable."

Zhu Jianzhuo listened to the report and looked at the success report, with an expression of ecstasy on his face.

"Good thing, good thing!"

"After this battle, the situation in the world is finally settled!"

After saying this, he gave instructions to Yang He beside him.

"Yang He, go get a pen and paper. I will write the article myself to commend the soldiers on the front line."

Upon hearing this, Yang He immediately took the order and left.

Not long after, Zhu Jianzhuo came to get paper and pen.

Yang He was grinding ink beside him, while Zhu Jianzhuo wrote.

"My son Jing'an, seeing letters is like meeting each other:"

"I was in the capital and heard the good news from the front line. I was very moved. One hundred and forty years since I came from Jiashen, the northern capital has finally returned to the rule of the Han family. The crown prince has done a great job..."

Zhu Jianzhuo commended Zhu Jing'an for his merits in the letter, and ordered Zhu Jing'an to prepare a reward for the army, indicating that the court would try its best to cooperate with the army's reward work.

In addition, he also consulted Zhu Jing'an's opinion in his letter on where the Ming Dynasty should set its capital in the future.

For now, the battle to establish the capital of the Ming Dynasty mainly has three targets.

The first is Nanjing, where Emperor Taizu Gao started his career and where the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty is located.

It is the legitimate capital of the Ming Dynasty!

By choosing Nanjing as the capital, it is reasonable for Ming Dynasty to better control the financial and taxation areas south of the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River Basin, and to control the economic and cultural centers of Ming Dynasty.

The second option is Beijing. Starting from the time when Emperor Chengzu moved the capital, the Ming Dynasty established Beijing as its capital and ruled the world for more than two hundred years.

In addition, since the Manchus entered the customs, Beijing has also been the capital.

In addition to the Yuan Dynasty, Beijing was also the capital for more than 100 years.

All in all, Beijing has been the capital for four to five hundred years.

Therefore, in the eyes of the world, Beijing is also the place of orthodoxy.

Furthermore, if the Ming Dynasty established Beijing as its capital, it would be able to control the areas outside the customs and the grasslands nearby, making it easier for the Ming Dynasty to develop outside the customs in the future.

Moreover, North Zhili is an area rich in coal and iron resources. If the Ming Dynasty made Beijing its capital, it could develop heavy industry nearby in order to control the heavy industry base in the Zhili area in the future.

And what is heavy industry?

Heavy industry is national defense and the army!

If a dynasty cannot even control its army, it is not far from destruction. In addition, it is the saying about the Ming Dynasty that "the emperor guards the country".

Therefore, it would make sense if the Ming Dynasty had its capital in Beijing.

In addition, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties built a large number of palaces and royal gardens in Beijing. If the Ming Dynasty made Beijing its capital, these palaces and royal gardens could be used, saving the Ming Dynasty the manpower and material resources to build palaces in the future.

This is also a very convincing reason!

The third option is Guangzhou.

The reason why it is Guangzhou is, firstly, because Guangzhou was the first to be opened and closed, and its industrial and commercial development is at the forefront. The social atmosphere is generally relatively progressive, and the current level of prosperity is not lower than that of Jiangnan.

The second reason is that in the current Ming Dynasty, officials from Guangdong and Guangxi account for the majority.

And they were all the founding heroes who made great contributions during the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of their origins or place of origin, these people preferred to have the imperial court set its capital in Guangzhou.

Zhu Jianzhuo also had to consider the opinions of these founding heroes.

The third reason is that Guangzhou is located at the estuary of the Pearl River and can control the South China Sea nearby.

If the Ming Dynasty established its capital in Guangzhou, it could expand towards Southeast Asia and complete its actual control over Southeast Asia.

Nanjing, Beijing and Guangzhou each have their own reasons.

Recently, a group of people in the Ming Dynasty Hall were quarreling over this matter.

Zhu Jianzhuo, who had soft ears, was a little undecided.

Therefore, I am going to ask Zhu Jing'an for his opinion.

He knew that with his son's prestige, he was qualified to make decisions in court against all opinions.

As long as the father and son reach a consensus, there will be no need to quarrel on this matter.

After writing the letter, Zhu Jianzhuo ordered someone to seal the letter, and then gave instructions to Yang He.

"Order people to send the letter to Beijing as soon as possible and ask Jing'an to give me a reply as soon as possible."

Yang He nodded to express his understanding, and then left.

……

After Yang He left, Zhu Jianzhuo was just about to take a rest when he saw another chamberlain coming in to report.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi is asking for an audience."

Zhu Jianzhuo couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.

"Concubine Yi wants to see you? What is she doing here?"

Concubine Yi, whose original name was Wang Qiuyi, was Zhu Jianzhuo's new concubine when he was in Guangzhou.

But not Chinese, but Korean.

She was a clan sister of Wang Minhao, the newly appointed envoy to Korea in the Ming Dynasty. Because of her youth and beauty, she was presented to Zhu Jianzhuo as his concubine.

The reason why it was not given to Zhu Jing'an was because at that time Zhu Jing'an was commanding troops on the front line and had no time to recruit beauties.

In order to stabilize the people's hearts in North Korea, Zhu Jiazhuo did it himself.

The old emperor always loved young and beautiful girls. In just a few years, Concubine Yi rose from a beauty to a concubine.

Of course, this is also closely related to Wang Minhao's excellent work in North Korea.

However, during this time, Zhu Jianzhuo was a little annoyed with her.

For no other reason than simply because the little girl was a little confused about the importance, relying on Zhu Jianzhuo's favor for him, she frequently begged for official positions for the Wang clan in front of Zhu Jianzhuo.

What they all seek is a more important position in North Korea!

If it was once or twice, Zhu Jianzhuo wouldn't mind agreeing to her request.

Because what Ming Dynasty needs is to appoint North Koreans as North Korean officials to stabilize the situation in North Korea. As for who will be the official in North Korea, Ming Dynasty does not care. (End of chapter)
