In the quiet farmyard and the quiet snow, Zhu Yunwen was lying on the bed, feeling full of peace in his heart.
Along the way, I have seen the immigrant people living and working here in peace and contentment. The hard work and investment in the early stage are all worth it. I think the happiest person at this time is Ru Jun. I don’t know if he will come to Wanping.
I remember that when he was the governor of Shanxi, he led the immigration of 500,000 people and personally sent countless people out of their homeland. Now he will be happy to see them living in peace and improving their lives in Peiping.
There are already a considerable number of residents around Peking. This is the cornerstone of the Great Peking Strategy and a necessary condition for moving the capital.
Population, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, naval fleet, many conditions are close to maturity, it is time to plan and prepare to move the capital.
Moving the capital is not a simple northern patrol, just take a few people on the road.
Before moving the capital, it was necessary to build a palace in Peiping and rebuild Peking City. This was an extremely huge project. Even if enough money, food and labor were given, it would take a long time to build it. Historically, it took Zhu Di ten years to build the Forbidden City. In five years, even if I continue to implement performance methods and mobilize craftsmen and migrant workers, I won't be able to complete the project in ten years.
After all, the palace is different from ordinary residences. Both the materials and regulations are of the highest standards. There is no room for error in the meticulous craftsmanship, and the problem cannot be solved by urging.
The most optimistic estimate is ten years, which should be Jianwen's fifteenth year.
Zhu Yunwen didn't know what the Ming Dynasty would be like ten years from now, but he was certain that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to have a long-term national destiny, relocating the capital was a must-do.
However, the commotion caused by this matter is probably very big, and it may not be a good thing to bring it up while preparing for the northwest war. The label of large-scale construction is still a trivial matter. The resistance and dissatisfaction of various interest groups are tormenting people and Intractable.
You must know that Nanjing was chosen as the capital in the early Ming Dynasty, and it naturally became a gathering place for Jiangnan interest groups. Political relations are longitude, and economic relations are latitude. Between longitude and latitude, a huge network of relationships is formed, which encompasses Nanjing. With the world, it has also stabilized the interests of most vested interests.
Once Zhu Yunwen advocated moving the capital, he would have to extract the weft threads from the warp and latitude net, take the warp threads to Peking, and then replace a bunch of weft threads to reweave the net. If there are some problems in the process, it is very likely that the net of Ming Dynasty will not be able to hold the world, and turmoil will occur.
Moving the capital will offend countless people.
Zhu Yunwen sighed, closed his eyes, and imagined Zhu Di's courage and courage in moving the capital in history. He said that moving the capital would be easier than him. After all, he was from a rebel background. Even his nephew dared to dismount, and even the ten tribes dared to kill. Who are you officials?
Zhu Di has a cold and iron fist, but Zhu Yunwen does not.
Since he came to the throne, Zhu Yunwen has waved the "dragon claw" internally more than once, offending many gentry, but the "dragon claw" is more likely to cause bleeding than death. But the dragon-claw move of moving the capital will really kill people...
It’s difficult.
Zhu Yunwen fell into a drowsy sleep.
The goose-feather heavy snow was boiling and bustling, and while no one was disturbing it, it was spread overnight to create a pure white world. Everything seemed to be equal in the snow, all of the same color.
As dawn approached, the sky became colder and colder. Zhu Yunwen gradually woke up from the cold. He turned his head and looked at Xia Yuanji and Yang Shiqi not far away. They were also shivering from the cold and were sleeping huddled together.
When Liu Changge saw Zhu Yunwen wake up, he added two pieces of firewood to the brazier and came forward to say hello.
Zhu Yunwen wrapped himself in the quilt a little tighter and said softly: "Move the brazier. Their quilts are a little thin."
Liu Changge was about to persuade, but when he saw Zhu Yunwen's unyielding gaze, he had no choice but to move the brazier over.
"Where's Tang Buping?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Liu Changge pointed to the door: "Guard outside."
"Let him come in and rest. It's freezing outside on a snowy night, and this is a place where people live. There's no need to be so exhausted."
Zhu Yunwen arranged.
Liu Changge got up and called Tang Buping. When he returned to the house, he found that Zhu Yunwen was already dressing. Zhu Yunwen did not let anyone wait on him. When he got up, he ordered the two of them to take out the memorial and let them lie on the bed to rest.
Traveling with the Security Bureau is very tiring, and the daily rest time is often less than three hours.
Sitting next to the fire pot, Zhu Yunwen carefully warmed his hands, and then took out a memorial. The memorial was written by Zhang Yan who was in Jiaozhi and signed by Han Guan. Zhu Wenkui usually forwarded this kind of military-political memorial directly to Zhu Yunwen's.
The content of the document between Zhang Yan and Han Guan is not good news. Zhu Yunwen told Pei Boqi that Jiaozhi Haihe Qingyanyue is not completely true. Indeed, Jiaozhi under the control of the Ming Dynasty has achieved peace in most areas, and countless people live and work in peace and contentment. This is a fact , but it is undeniable that the Ming Dynasty's move to take back Annan and change it to Jiaozhi completely offended the remnant forces of the Chen family and the remnant forces of the Hu family. Although these two forces were not large, they were very thieves.
These people cannot be pirates. After all, there are Aizhou Port and Daming Navy. If they go to sea, they will probably be killed within three days, but they become bandits.
Jiaozhi is mountainous, and some of the mountains and forests are still virgin forests. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty cannot go deep into the encirclement and suppression. They mobilize the army to fight. They just run away like monkeys. If you don't fight, they will come out to grab things again another day.
This bandit-style guerrilla warfare method gave Zhang Yan and Han Guan a headache. Although the number of bandits was not large, there were roughly more than 3,000 people, but they were dragging more than 20,000 Ming soldiers to have a good rest.
Zhang Yan tried to appease him, but to no avail, and a few lives were lost. Han Guan's intention was very clear. He hoped that the imperial court would send a group of Guangxi wolf soldiers into the Jiaozhi Mountains to kill these bandits completely, and avoid long nights and nightmares.
Zhu Yunwen pondered for a long time and finally rejected Han Guan's plan to mobilize the Guangxi wolf soldiers into Jiaozhi. Although the wolf soldiers were powerful and familiar with mountain and forest warfare, they were still the strength of the chieftains. It was no problem to fight smoothly, but once they suffered losses, they would be attacked head-on. Twice, sooner or later, he will collapse and not obey orders.
Han Guan wanted to exterminate the bandits, but only physically. But what Zhu Yunwen wanted was to destroy both mentally and physically. Not only would these bandits not have a place to die, but they would also have to warn all the Yue people. The mountains and forests are not their retreat, and they have no escape route. They can only follow Daming!
"Transfer three hundred scouts into Jiaozhi."
Zhu Yunwen took up his pen and wrote a transfer order.
Faced with the wandering remnants of Annan, Zhu Yunwen decided to use the most elite special forces in the Ming Dynasty's capital. The scouts appeared with the new army strategy. They have only been around for more than four years. They are the most mysterious special forces in the capital. Directly under Zhu Yunzhen's control and mobilization.
Scouts are the elite among the elite in the Beijing army. Among the 400,000 Beijing troops, only two thousand were selected. They are truly one in two hundred. They are good at spying on intelligence, climbing, assassination, concealment, and tracking. They are highly skilled in martial arts and are skilled in bow and horse. .
Although this group of people is not well-known and does not seem to exist, every time Zhu Yunwen travels, he is secretly protected by no less than thirty scouts, scattered in different directions, looking around for movements within three miles.
Zhu Yunwen was serious about taking out three hundred scouts in one breath, even if his opponent was three thousand bandits.
Zhu Yunwen didn't like procrastination. If the bandits were allowed to fight guerrillas randomly and make the people miserable and the soldiers tired, big problems would happen sooner or later. In that case, let's send them away completely. It's winter anyway. Take the sea route to Jiaozhi Aizhou Port with good winds. If you go with the flow, it won't take much time.
After approving the memorials of Zhang Yan and Han Guan, Zhu Yunwen began to look through other memorials. Just by looking at the immature handwriting following the memorial, he knew that it was Zhu Wenkui's approval.
Zhu Wenkui "did" well in the capital. Because of his young age, he did not understand many things, and it was difficult to clarify and make judgments. However, this did not trouble him. He would ask people in Zhan Shifu if Zhan Shifu If the government, the cabinet, and the six ministries agree, then it will be discussed openly in the court. If there is a lot of agreement, then nod.
If there is a conflict of opinion between the Zhanshifu, the cabinet, and the six ministries, they will have each write a document and debate it in the court. If an agreement can be reached or one party gives in, then nod. If no one gives in, then keep it and forward the memorial. Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Wenkui was too young and did not have the ability to handle government affairs. He knew this, so he adopted the principle of the majority obeying the minority.
This principle is suitable at the moment and is the safest choice for him. After all, there were no solid forces such as the Huaixi Party and the Zhejiang Party in the Jianwen court. Some influential ministers followed Zhu Yunwen on his northern tour. No one could easily unify the views and opinions of the cabinet, Zhan Shifu, and the Six Ministries, unless it was right to do so. , won the support of more people.
In order to avoid major problems, Zhu Wenkui will also forward the approved memorial to Zhu Yunwen for reading. If there is a mistake, it can be corrected in a short time.
Zhu Yunwen was very satisfied with Zhu Wenkui's performance, but he was also a little distressed. That bad old man Chen Di was very bad. He deceived Zhu Wenkui that he should work diligently in politics and go to court more often, which made his son sleepless every day. Before dawn, I was already sitting in the Fengtian Palace listening to a group of old men. After returning to the East Palace, I had to listen to Zhan Shifu. If Han Xiayu hadn't driven away the eunuchs who invited him to the court, and also moved out Zhu Yunwen, the father. "Role model", Zhu Wenkui is probably living with the eyes of a giant panda now.
Zhu Yunwen is still clear about the things in the court. Officials are still doing what they are supposed to do. There is not much going on. In addition, it is almost the end of the year and everyone is looking forward to going home to spend time with their wives and children during the holidays. They want to impeach officials for their speech. I won’t look for trouble at this time. If the impeachment fails, I will have to work overtime on New Year’s Day to write the sequel to the impeachment memorial. I can’t survive this New Year’s Day...
Not long after the rooster crowed, the rustling of snow was heard outside the window.
Zhu Yunwen opened the door and looked at Chen Yuzheng, who was blushing from the cold, sweeping the snow with a broom, and said with a smile: "Auspicious snow heralds a good year. The coming year will definitely be a good one."
