In the early spring of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, it was as cold as ice, freezing the heart of the Ming Dynasty.

The bustling and disturbing Ming Dynasty Jingshi was panicked, and the emperor's movements, which had been rumored and speculated by the people, finally had an eyebrow.

The entire Ming Dynasty Dynasty Dynasty Dynasty was held for ten days in a row, and the officials who supported the local resistance and the officials who supported Chongzhen's relocation of the capital debated and quarreled with each other, and even almost fought in front of the courtiers.

As the first assistant, he has not shown his attitude until now, which is really not a professional performance, but he Wei Zaode actually has suffering words, he has been in the limelight and does not say a word, he just doesn't want to become a spurned person in the history books of later generations.

Wei Zaode knew very well that no matter how he chose, he would actually anger the other party, and at the same time, the night would let future generations find a reason to scold him.

He held on to the great pressure not to express his opinion, in fact, he hoped that the embarrassed and angry Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen would be like his sixteen predecessors, even if he was arrested and imprisoned, he would be kinder than his current position.

But the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen are not fools, how can they not know Wei Zaode's thoughts, the courtiers quarrel while forcing Wei Zaode to the palace and forcing him to express his position; And Emperor Chongzhen, who has always been hot-tempered, suppressed his anger abnormally, and kept secretly looking for Wei Zaode, hinting to him that he had to wait for his choice, and let him support him, but he didn't change the commander at this time, so he continued to sit in the position of the first assistant.

After the Qing people opened the city defense of Shanhaiguan, the plain area of Pingchuan in the pass was like a wild horse, and after completely controlling the back road in their own hands, their morale was like iron.

Under the leadership of Hong Chengchou, the superintendent and the remnants of Liaodong, less than 200,000 Ming officers and soldiers desperately blocked the invasion of the Qing people, and bought some time for Emperor Chongzhen and cabinet ministers in the Forbidden City of Shuntianfu.

It's just that as the documents asking for help were sent to the cabinet like snowflakes, the central cabinets of the Ming Dynasty and other central cabinets in the Forbidden City also had to admit that their situation at this time was comparable to, or even surpassed, when Chongzhen was in the second year, if they couldn't come up with a plan before Hong Chengchou and them completely collapsed, they were afraid that they were very likely to become prisoners under the Jurchen barbarians' iron cavalry!!

For example, there are not a few officials who oppose the intention of moving the capital, and it is also the biggest obstacle to Chongzhen's relocation of the capital to Tianfu, but it is limited to the problem of the ancestral law, Emperor Chongzhen certainly wants to move the capital to the south at this time, but he can't make this decision himself, and he must be led by Wei Zaode, the first assistant, and asked for orders to move the capital several times.

It is not like the original history of the Great Shun Dynasty Li Zicheng from the south to the north into the Shuntianfu Forbidden City, so that he had to embark on a dead end, at this time the northern Qing people attacked, threatening the safety of the entire Shuntianfu, but for Emperor Chongzhen, he still has a way to go, that is, to move the capital to the south and wait to accompany the capital Ying Tianfu, although it will violate the original Ming Chengzu's will, but it is also a way out to continue to save the Ming Dynasty.

The situation north of the Yangtze River, with the beginning of the entry of the Jurchens of the Qing Dynasty, has completely fallen into a desperate situation, and the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, who has worked hard for half his life, has to admit that if Switzerland continues to stay in the capital now, it is tantamount to looking for death, so that the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years will perish in his own hands.

Whether it is for his own life, or for the foundation of his ancestors, Emperor Chongzhen has been fighting for a long time, and finally decided to move the capital, and in the subsequent exchanges with Wei Zaode, he forced the other party to cooperate with him, and after the silence of the ten days, he suggested to Emperor Chongzhen, asking him to move to Tianfu to accompany the capital and save the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty!!

Pretending to prevaricate several times, and making a gesture of sworn resistance, Emperor Chongzhen "couldn't stand" Wei Zaode several times, and finally lowered his high head and agreed to move the capital.

The soldiers of the Ming army on the front line of Zunhua could not hold out for long, and with the fall of Luanxian began, the final line of defense built by Hong Chengchou and them was gradually torn open by the powerful Jurchen barbarians, exposing the rich land in the pass in front of the Jurchens.

And in the period of time when Hong Chengchou and them desperately resisted and bought time for the central cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City finally made a move, and countless courtiers and their families began to pack their luggage and hire carriages and horses to go to Tianjin, and in the Forbidden City, the capital city of the Ming Dynasty, which was founded two hundred years ago, the flow of people in the palace led by Emperor Chongzhen was also preparing to empty the entire royal capital in a panic, trying to save the last bit of dignity of the royal family.

Compared with the salutes of other princes and ministers, dignitaries and dignitaries, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen's own luggage is not much, except for himself and the concubines in the palace, the daily clothes and jewelry of the princesses and princesses, etc., all the goods and materials in the treasury of Emperor Chongzhen are not even loaded with a large ship of thousands of materials.

On the other hand, those ministers and nobles who asked for help in Chongzhen and hoped that everyone would donate food and salary, in addition to their own people, there were no more than the royal family, but their luggage was no less than that of the royal family, and if the bags were unfolded and exposed, I am afraid that many people's wealth would even exceed the net worth of the lord of the Tang and Tang dynasties, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

In these days, many ship-owning merchants led by the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce are extremely popular, and the royal family Chongzhen can also directly recruit sea ships for his own use, and no matter how bad it is, there are still large ships for his own use, but those royal relatives and noble ministers want to consign goods, it is not so simple.

For Emperor Chongzhen's choice, in the debate in the court in the past few months, the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce have long been prepared, fortunately, they are not much in the north, even if the fall of the north is not much for many members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and even now that the Ming Dynasty has moved south, the social turmoil and impact will be brought about, but it will make the more and more powerful and united Nanyang Chamber of Commerce see more business opportunities.

However, one of the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Hongmen Qixintang, who was originally the most powerful in the sea, was a little sluggish in the face of this business opportunity, and did not join in the excitement and make a fortune in Qian'an.

The reason is that Li Tianyang himself made an old-fashioned mistake, mistakenly thinking that Emperor Chongzhen would choose the same mission as the original history, and swore to defend the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty with the supreme body of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
