Chapter 94: You're here to dismantle the stage, right?
To tell the truth, the situation in the Ming Dynasty after 1626 was really not as good as it was in the early Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Zilong thinks that this place in Beijing is really not good, as soon as the Shanhaiguan Pass is broken, it is a horse and a flat river, completely like the North China Plain, the emperor lives in this kind of place, this is ready to send warmth to foreign enemies, right?
The previous Yuan Dynasty, that is, the capital of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, was to be closer to Mongolia and facilitate the withdrawal of troops, which is understandable. But Da Ming, the capital must be here, so it is a little too much to say.
The Yongle Emperor was the capital here because the Ming Dynasty was the strongest country in the world, and no one could threaten it. And Yongle likes to pretend to be compared, and the forces are also here, afraid that he will not be able to suppress the local snake forces in the south, so he will focus on the north first, and then suppress the south. So his personal factor is the main one!
The later emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not good, look at the Tumubao incident, and what kind of successors they are, and the capital is Beijing?
If it weren't for Zhu Zilong crossing over, in a few years, the soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would be in Shanhaiguan, and everyone would have to wash and sleep at that time.
For the sake of New China, our party knows that we will give up Yan'an and withdraw our troops to fight a protracted war. Da Ming is at this point, why don't you hurry up and think about it for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji?
China is so big, with Chang'an in the west, Jinling in the east, and Chengdu in the south, it is completely possible to move the capital to exchange space for time!
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the crisis became like this, why didn't the Ming Dynasty move the capital?
Zhu Zilong looked at the 90% of the officials who knelt on the ground, with a sneer on his face, and his eyes were full of killing intent.
The reason is very simple, it is because of this group of pig teammates who are kneeling.
These kneeling civil officials are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact, most of them are secretly the blackest people in the world. And I didn't take the emperor seriously from my heart!
Zhu Zilong estimated that even if a foreign enemy really entered the capital, they would not feel anything.
Because 70% of the ministers' industries near the imperial city are in the north, there are many people who need to govern the country. Whoever becomes the emperor is not the same commute?
If the capital is moved casually, it means, first of all, that these kneeling people (nobles, relatives, high-ranking eunuchs, central government officials, tycoons) will give up most of their wealth!
In addition, most of the gold and silver treasures they painstakingly looted were destined to be unsafely transported.
If they agree to move the capital, they will pull their gold and silver treasures out one by one, and what face will they have to cry poor all day long? Once this kind of thing is widely circulated, how can the officials explain it to the emperor? How will the government explain this to the people of the world?
Moreover, 90% of the people who kneel now are brain-dead ministers, and they are all in the same state of mind as their current officials after the change of dynasty!
Looking at history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on the traitor group to win the world, just like the little devils who fought in New China's eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. How many traitors?
These 90% of the officials who are kneeling down to persuade themselves not to move the capital are all quasi-traitors!
Of course, moving the capital is not a trivial matter.
Back then, the Yongle Emperor was so strong, and it took a few years to move to the capital.
I'm afraid that it will take at least so long for the carpenter emperor.
Zhu Zilong didn't think about asking his subordinates to agree to this matter immediately today, but he just started to propose it first. In addition, it is mentioned at the same time as the Shanxi earthquake, so that one big and one small, the big thing can start, and the small thing is easier to pass.
Such is the nature of political work!
What the?
You said that it would be good if Zhu Zilong now had an adult prince under his name, and he could let the prince go to Nanjing to preside over the work first, and wait for the time to move the capital?
NO, it's impossible.
Not to mention the minister, even Zhu Zilong himself will not agree.
Let's not say that Zhu Zilong does not have an adult prince, but there is. Anyone who is an emperor will not agree to such a thing happening!
It's a matter of human nature!
Because it is a special period in the late Ming Dynasty, the prince has arrived in Nanjing, and the probability of Tang Suzong appearing in Lingwu is too great. In other words, while the emperor (Zhu Zilong) was still alive, the crown prince would be proclaimed in Nanjing at any time and become the new emperor.
The political and military center of gravity of the empire will definitely move southward in a big way. At that time, if the Nanjing government, represented by the new emperor (crown prince), goes all out to run Jiangnan and ignores Jiangbei, Zhu Zilong and all the officials who remain in the north will suffer a catastrophe!
The plot of the TV series where father and son kill each other will be happy to see it when the time comes!
"Zhong Aiqing, it's just that the time for the capital to move the capital is not yet timely. Let's talk about it again! The relocation of the people of X County, Shanxi Province is a big matter. The consumption is very large, I intend to open up the source and reduce the expenditure, but the military budget is tight, and I intend to start a national donation. You are all my ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and you should be an example! ”
Zhu Zilong finally changed his mind and turned the topic to the issue of moving in a county in Shanxi, and made it clear what he meant by implication.
To move hundreds of thousands of people, there are too many money and people to be asked, and the national strength is tight, why don't you donate some? If you are officials, first of all, you mean to be an example!
Below, all the officials who were originally kneeling on the ground put away their tears, you look at me, I look at you, and some of them looked at each other.
They all knew in their hearts that the emperor's proposal to move the capital had not been successful, and they were unhappy and wanted everyone to shed some blood. Otherwise, the matter of moving the capital will continue to be discussed!
Immediately, they felt a burst of pain in their hearts.
No one likes this kind of money.
Some officials, with a sigh, were ready to stand up and say how much they were willing to donate. However, in the next second, Han Kuang's gaze swept over, and his eyes were full of deep meaning. As soon as many people raised their heads, they were stunned by this glance, and their faces became ugly.
It seems that the Donglin Party has reached a consensus on the idea that it is better not to donate if they can. And the officials of other parties also thought to themselves, if the Donglin Party does not donate, why should we donate?
Some hereditary nobles originally looked like they were watching the show, but when they saw this scene, they stopped watching the play, and hurriedly bowed their heads and pretended to be senile.
"Okay, good, good, you are really my good ministers!" Zhu Zilong's face is so blue now that it is about to turn pure black.
Sure enough, as in history.
If they want to move the capital, they don't agree, and they want them to donate money to help the people, but there is no way.
I'd rather hold the money and let people kill it, than take it out to save the country and save the people!
At this moment, the murderous aura on Zhu Zilong's face was not much hidden, and it was almost naked on his face.
The hearts of all the ministers are slightly bowed, the emperor seems to be really angry, not easy to deal with, it seems that there is still a little blood!
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book! The minister is a relative of the country, willing, willing, willing to donate 10,000, oh no, 1,000 taels of silver. Be an example! ”
An old man stood up and said with a painful face.
Zhu Zilong saw who this person was, and smiled angrily.
Ma Dan, is it you?
Sure enough, you are still as unreliable as history says. Obviously, I wanted to say 10,000 taels just now, but when I said it, it became 1,000 taels, so this is still an example, this is a slap in the face of this emperor, right?
Anyone like you has only a thousand taels of silver. Didn't other officials donate just a few dozens, a few hundred taels and it was over?
So how much money can you donate for the relocation of hundreds of thousands of people in a county in Shanxi this time?
You're here to tear down the stage, right?
