Where to be buried after death is not a big problem for Zhu Yunwen.
Historically, Zhu Di chose to be buried in Beijing after his death. One reason is probably for convenience, as he does not have to travel a long distance after his death. The other reason is probably that he did not know how to explain to his father Zhu Yuanzhang and eldest brother Zhu Biao, so he buried it farther away and thought better of it underneath. It's better to go and explain in terms of words than to be held down and beaten when you get down there.
Zhu Yunwen didn't have so many worries. At most, Zhu Yuanzhang would curse, "You've ruined all the systems I established." As for being beaten, it was unlikely.
Zhu Wenkui couldn't speak at this time, so Yang Shiqi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the construction of the mausoleum takes a long time. In the former Song Dynasty, many emperors started to build the mausoleum after they ascended the throne. Now that the emperor has chosen Zhongshan, it is reasonable for the Ministry of Industry to start construction of the mausoleum as soon as possible. "
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, looked at Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji, Xie Jin, Luo Guanying and others, and said seriously: "In a hundred years from now, I will practice frugality. It is enough to build one tomb and put one coffin. Don't be extravagant or fill it with stuff." How many things were buried with you. As for the mausoleum, you can dig it up and repair it after you leave. There is no need to arrange it before your death. This is my will. The prince will act in accordance with the order in the future, and he must not be allowed to bear the name of unfilial piety."
Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin and others were filled with emotion.
Zhu Wenkui quickly said: "My father is in his prime, it is too early to consider those things now."
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly, looked at Zhu Wenkui seriously, and said, "Learn from these civil and military ministers how to govern the country."
"My son will live up to his father's expectations."
Zhu Wenkui assured.
Zhu Yunwen stood on the side of the ship, looking at Jinling City gradually going away, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Some ministers said that after the Tatars and Oaras were eliminated, it was no longer necessary to move the capital to Beijing. It should stay in Jinling to strengthen control of the sea.
Zhu Yunwen didn't think so.
The Tatars were defeated and the Walas were broken up, but they were not exterminated. The people on the grassland have the same tenacious vitality as the grass on the grassland. Give them two, three or even five generations, and they will still get up.
During the Hongwu period, Lan Yu achieved decisive victory in Yuerhai during expedition after expedition, which could be said to have basically eliminated Yuan Ting's power.
Then what?
Only a few years have passed, after Zhu Di Fengtian pacified the country, he started expeditions one after another. Qiu Fu's army of 100,000 was eaten clean by others. Zhu Di became angry and led an army of 500,000 to conquer the grassland.
Zhu Di's personal expeditions after becoming emperor were basically carried out around the grasslands. Time and time again, there were great victories, annihilations, and nothing was gained.
However, despite more than ten large-scale northern expeditions conducted by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the grassland problem has not been fundamentally solved.
Zhu Yunwen clearly realized that the surrender of Mahamu and others was only a gesture of surrender in exchange for the continuation and growth of the ethnic group. As long as the ethnic group develops to a certain level, Wala may not continue to surrender. They are very likely to become another Wuliangha and betray the Ming Dynasty.
It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to become a butcher that scares the world, indiscriminately killing a large-scale surrendered ethnic group. Now there is no overt struggle between the Ming Dynasty and Oara, but there will be no shortage of secret wrestling.
Cultural export and lifestyle changes, and the transformation of nomadic peoples, is a process of evolution that cannot be accomplished in decades. And if you want to control the grassland, you need to be close to the grassland.
In addition to the considerations of the grassland, there is also the control of the western border and the control of the Northeast. These are weak places and places that must be controlled.
The south, on the other hand, tends to be stable. After the chieftain issue was resolved, and the court did not exploit the people, there were basically no major problems in the south.
As for the voyage, Ming Dynasty could still choose Jinling as a center and build two major voyage ports in Guangzhou and Tianjin at the same time.
Moving the capital to Beijing will help control all directions.
The plains around Beijing are being reclaimed, and the Northeast's large granary is also expanding. Relying on naval shipping and Grand Canal water transportation, there will be no problem in ensuring Beijing's products.
In the future, concrete roads and railways will be paved, and Ming Dynasty will be a different scene.
Zhu Yunshen
Thinking.
The fleet that moved the capital sailed across the Yangtze River and entered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in Yangzhou.
If we follow normal shipping, it will take no more than 20 days to get to Beijing, and only about 15 days at the shortest. However, because this trip also brought a large number of Beijing troops with them, and these Beijing troops mainly rode and walked, this limited the speed of the trip.
Sixty miles a day, it would take a month to reach Beijing.
Soldiers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait guarded the procession, and countless people watched along the way.
It’s been a long journey.
In order to show the majesty of the royal family, the etiquette officer hoped that Zhu Yunwen would put on a dragon robe and appear on the ship. However, Zhu Yunwen refused. He wanted to move to a new house so that he would not be so ostentatious...
Dong Lun was speechless. It was you who agreed to use Da Jia Lu Bo. Now you are talking about Zhang Yang.
Unable to deceive Zhu Yunwen, Dong Lun went to deceive Zhu Wenkui again. This time he was smarter and simply pulled Zhu Wenkui to the deck to talk without talking about changing clothes.
The people on the shore saw the official treating a young man respectfully. Who didn't know that he was the prince?
Zhu Wenkui realized belatedly that he had to wait in the sun for a long time before he realized that these guys from the Ministry of Etiquette were treating him like a monkey for people to watch, so he simply ran away with a stomachache.
It was a long journey a day, and it was really boring to stay on the boat. Zhu Yunwen wanted to go down several times to have a look, but was dissuaded by officials.
More than ten days passed, and the fleet arrived in Xuzhou, halfway through the journey.
A fast horse rushed to Xuzhou Pier and delivered an urgent document.
Zhu Yunwen soon saw the documents sent by Qu Neng and convened the cabinet to discuss with officials from the six ministries and others.
After Xie Jin read the document, he laughed happily: "The decomposition and resettlement of Wala went smoothly. This is a gratifying thing. I congratulate the emperor."
Yang Shiqi nodded repeatedly.
Qu Neng accepted the surrender of Oara and completed the initial decomposition and resettlement. It took a month to dismantle the Oara tribe and leave Hangai Mountain respectively. The goal of dividing the Oara tribe into hundreds of parts from the whole was initially achieved.
Now that Tupolo, Princess Samuel, Yan Ji and others are on their way to Beijing, it shows that the nobles and senior officials in Oara have basically been separated. It is difficult to organize a strong force only by those at the bottom. This For Jisi grassland, long-term weakening of grassland is of great benefit.
Zhu Yunwen ordered people to hang up the map, looked at the northern border, and said in a deep voice: "Build the city with cement, increase the control and control over the grassland, and strive to form towns on the grassland as soon as possible, allowing merchants to enter the city, open businesses, and lose treasure. Note. In addition, sir, transfer to the north to promote enlightenment. All kinds of things on the grassland are just the beginning, so don't be careless. Yang Rong, you are familiar with the grassland, don't follow us to Beijing, go directly out of the customs and be responsible for coordinating all the affairs."
Peaceful resettlement does not mean that there are no conflicts or problems.
On the contrary, resettlement that is full of suffering and hard-line resettlement will have fewer problems, while resettlement that is more peaceful and compromising will have more problems. Because people have demands, and the demands may be unresponsive. Because of imbalance, various problems may occur.
For the sake of the overall situation, it was difficult for Ming Dynasty to directly use force in this process, which meant that officials needed to have wisdom to deal with various problems.
Yang Rong is a good candidate. He is a civil servant, decisive in his work, and has rich experience in military campaigns. He is good at finding solutions to difficult problems and has a strong sense of the overall situation.
Faced with the sudden order, Yang Rong walked out immediately without any hesitation: "I accept the order."
Zhu Yunwen has high hopes for Yang Rong: "Whether the grassland can become the grassland of the Ming Dynasty depends on your wisdom and ability. You have to remember four words: hardness and softness."
Yang Rong understood.
Zhu Yunwen does not tolerate Wala without any bottom line. When he should be strong, he should use the steel knife. When he is strong and soft, he should be gently comforted.
Yang Rong got off the boat, took away two hundred sergeants according to the order, and went straight to Xuanfu.
After dawn, the fleet continued northward and embarked on the second half of the journey to move the capital.
Uzang, Luolong.
Lord Wabo is discussing countermeasures with his three sons Bona, Boshan and Bowu.
The Ming army has already climbed the mountain from Lijiang Prefecture. I heard that more than 700 people blocked its advance.
The brave Uzang slave soldiers were mercilessly killed, and Mangkang might not be able to defend it.
Once the Ming Dynasty's army occupied Mangkang, the next step must be to move towards Bangda and Qamdo. By then, Luolong will be exposed to the Ming army.
Bo Wu clenched his big fists and said in a low voice: "Father, we are not afraid of the Ming army. We are invincible warriors on the plateau, with as many as a thousand powerful slaves. As long as we take the initiative to attack, We will definitely kill those weak Ming people without leaving any trace behind!"
Bo Naxun glanced at his third brother, frowned and said to Wa Bo: "The Ming army carried a large number of firearms. I heard that the men sent by Mangkang and other places were vulnerable to the Ming army. Will it be easy for us to choose to fight against the Ming Dynasty at this time? Suffering a loss?"
Boshan was unhappy and scolded him directly: "My eldest brother has a very weak temperament. Who doesn't know that Mang Kang's slaves don't have much fighting ability, that is, they can clean up the yard and cut down a tree. A few years ago, I heard that Mang Kang Some slaves are still sleeping in at dawn. They can't defeat the Ming army. It must be because of their sleep. We will not be so stupid."
Wabo nodded heavily: "Yes, Mangkang is weak and powerless. Their loss to the Ming Dynasty is nothing. In the past year, we have tasted the benefits of annexing other lords, increasing from six hundred slaves to one thousand Slave, your strength has grown so much, why are you still worried about what Ming will do?"
Bona became anxious and tried to dissuade them: "The Ming army has firearms. Their firearms are rumored to be more powerful than those of the Yuan Dynasty. We have to be on guard."
Bo Wu patted his thick chest: "Can't my body withstand the Ming army's tattered firearms?"
Wabo was very satisfied and nodded with a smile: "Strong warriors are not afraid of any weapons, but you, Bona, are too weak. The monk who came last year was right. Small-scale lords have no future. We want To become stronger, we must continue to annex other lords and become the largest lord. Only in this way can we be the unique king in Uzang."
"The Ming Dynasty is so eager to enter Uzang, which shows that they want to be the largest lord here. This is something we cannot agree to. Now we can only fight to drive the Ming people out. Once we defeat the Ming Dynasty, we Luolong will win With huge reputation, by then, other lords will surrender one after another and become our strength!"
Wabo grinned, looking forward to the future.
The future of ignorance.
"There's been a lot going on lately, so I'll try to update more when I can, but it's really too late, so please understand. Thank you Jingxue."
