I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 341 Abolish Nanjing Capital?

Saying that, he patted Agula on the shoulder and said solemnly,
"But we have limited manpower now. Whether we can accomplish anything depends on whether you are willing to help, Agula."

Agula had a brother who died at the hands of Li Tian, ​​which meant he had a blood feud with the Ming Dynasty.

But he also knew that with the strength of himself and others, it was impossible to avenge Uta.

So he endured the idea of ​​settling accounts with Liu Gang.

asked in a low voice,

"Now that the location of the treasure has been exposed, the Emperor Zhu will definitely send a large force to encircle and suppress us. Liu Gang, what are your plans? Since the two companies cooperate, how can we trust you if you don't say anything?"

Liu Gang smiled and said,
"Agula, you can rest assured that we already have a very safe hiding place. We will wait quietly for a few days, and when the limelight subsides, it will not be too late to act."

Agula shook it twice vigorously, the water droplets on the hair, although he was unwilling, it was the only way to go.

"Well then, listen to you!"

Not long after they left, a mysterious shadow appeared at the place where they had stayed before. After a brief search, they chased after them in the direction of the traces.

……

On the way back to Beijing, the sky was already slightly bright, and it was almost sunrise.

Li Tian, ​​who hadn't slept for nearly a night and was a little sleepy, rode on the tall horse arranged by Dongchang and others.

Suddenly, I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

This Liu Gang was able to come up with such a thorough plan, and set up such a big game behind his back. No matter in terms of ability or means, he was a few blocks away from Huang Yan.

If he didn't rebel, but loyally worked for him, he would be a usable talent.

But at this time, he also understood a truth, that is, the more capable a person is, the greater his ambition will be.

When a person's ability matches his ambition, it is the moment when his career is successful and his life continues to rise.

If a person's ability cannot match his ambition, it is time for him to kill himself and destroy himself.

Liu Gang is capable, but his ability is basically reflected in the power given to him by the emperor.

Without the blessing of imperial power, he is nothing more than a dying wild dog.

Habitually barking at passers-by twice, after all, it won't accomplish anything big.

As for Agula and the others, there is no need to worry. They are born with a foreign appearance, coupled with their tall and thick bodies, there is no way to hide.

In fact, their fate was already doomed when Zhuang Shaoyou rescued Li Tian and others. No matter what troubles they caused in the future, as long as Li Tian didn't die, he couldn't make things happen.

Although Li Tian didn't pay much attention to the matter of Liu Gang and others, it was about Xu Jingnian's report, about Nanjing eunuch Ma Dazhong and others being greedy for military pay, eating empty pay and blood.

He had to think carefully.

Inspecting the Tianxia Guards is a matter that can easily touch the nerves of the lieutenant generals.

Because many guards in the north are close to the capital, they are strictly controlled by the imperial power.

Li Tian got the secret support of Zhu Rong, Wu Kezhong, Cheng Guogong, Yingying Gong and others, and the whole north was basically not affected by this incident.

The only thing worth worrying about is the South Zhili area headed by Nanjing.

Now that Ma Dazhong is inextricably fighting with those nobles in Nanjing, it is actually a good time for Li Tian to intervene.

But before that, he had to finalize a successor to the guarding eunuch before he could implement his plan.

But after searching all over the government and the public, there is only one candidate who is qualified and capable of commanding the Twelve Guards of Nanjing, and who can hold back those nobles, and that is Zheng He.

But now Zheng He is not only in charge of the new army, but also serves as the general of Longxiang Four Guards, shipbuilding and many other things.

It can be said that there is no skill at all, and it is impossible to be the guarding eunuch.

Although in the original history during this period, Zheng He did take over Nanjing, and he still settled down there, and even the last tomb was left there.

But Li Tian still has a huge plan in his mind that requires Zheng He and his fleet. It is impossible to let Zheng He just step down and retire.

Besides Zheng He, the three people Li Tian can trust the most are Jiang Bao, Wang Fu, and Huang Yan.

But with their current qualifications and means, they will never be able to compete with those nobles in Nanjing.

In addition, Li Tian really needs them by his side at this time to help him solve various things, and he is reluctant to let them go.

But in this way, there is really no suitable candidate to serve as the Nanjing garrison eunuch.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and finally an irresistible idea suddenly popped up in Li Tian's mind.

As soon as this idea appeared, Li Tian himself was taken aback by this idea.

But at the same time, he also knew that if this idea could really come true, he couldn't help but be able to solve his current worries, and even solve a lot of troubles in the future.

The idea is to completely abolish the Six Ministries of Nanjing, so that Nanjing is no longer the accompanying capital and the center of the South.

What is Nanjing accompanying.

It was Zhu Di who left behind for himself and his descendants when he decided to move the capital to Beijing.

He always worried that one day, the Mongols would invade the Central Plains again.

In theory, Beijing is also one of the nine sides, and the possibility of being broken through is extremely high.

And leaving a team in Nanjing, even if Beijing falls and is captured, as long as the emperor escapes to Nanjing, there is still a day to turn around.

Originally, this kind of thinking is understandable, and even Zhu Di's descendants have always followed his will.

But at the same time, they also inherited another idea, that is, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.

In the original historical time and space, Emperor Chongzhen would rather die than move his capital to Nandu.

It is precisely because of this that although the Ming Dynasty was politically chaotic, it still had many diehard fans.

But in Li Tian's view, you are already the emperor guarding the gate of the country, and the king is dead, so why do you still have a backup to accompany you.

When people still have a way to go, they don't think of desperately.

Wouldn't it be impossible for people to really make up their minds to live and die with the capital if they stayed with the capital?

In addition, Li Tian never took those barbarians on the grassland seriously, so he didn't care much about Nanjing, the companion capital.

Imagine the advantages and disadvantages if the accompanying capital of Nanjing is removed.

First, after Nanjing loses its status as the accompanying capital, its economic and political status will be greatly weakened.

In order to get closer to the imperial power, many nobles may choose to move to the capital.

In this way, although Nanjing is weakened, the capital will become more prosperous.
