Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 1046: On the topic of moving the capital

The young lady of the Hu family, the eldest young master of the Hu family, the queen of the central palace...

It can be said that the surrounding of these three people has already caused a lot of sandstorms in Hangzhou Prefecture.

Then, the thunder came.

Zhu Biao took action!
Quarrel, escort to Yingtianfu!
Although the so-called escort should more accurately be called lying down to Yingtian Prefecture.

But seeing that the family of a great Ming Dynasty marquis was treated to this extent, many people began to have doubts.

These two companies joining forces are simply bullying.

But they didn't know that the prefect and the associate prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture were cursing until the very end and missed a great opportunity to flatter them.

After all, it's a damn rare opportunity to be able to flatter someone so directly without having to worry about any risks.

Because he was flattering the Queen, and doing so together with the Emperor, wasn't that aboveboard enough?
There's no risk at all, right?
But things finally came to an end.

What remains is the matter of Yingtian Prefecture.

And today, Peking, thousands of miles away from Yingtian Prefecture, welcomed their master.

Looking at the slightly old and dilapidated Peking city tower in the distance, Mr. Hu felt particularly complicated.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished his instructions on military affairs, he turned around and found that Master Hu was missing, so he walked out and saw Master Hu standing in the camp with a complicated expression on his face, looking at the city of Beiping in the distance.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Why are you sighing when you see the city of Peking?"

"Do you want to live in the city?"

Mr. Hu didn't even turn his head and answered casually, "No."

"It's my first time here, so I just want to take a closer look at this northern capital."

"By the way, Lao Zhu, have you ever thought about moving the capital here?"

It's no wonder that Mr. Hu asked this question. In fact, during the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang had considered moving the capital several times.

In fact, according to historical records, Zhu Biao disappeared after he returned from an inspection trip to move the capital.

Although Zhu Biao has become the Hongwu Emperor, the topic of moving the capital has never stopped.

It can even be said that too many people are paying attention to this matter.

But Mr. Hu is different from everyone else.

What he was thinking was, if Beiping is no longer considered the capital, then thousands of years later, would the men in the capital still be able to hold their chins high and say that they are people living under the imperial city?
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned by this question.

"Why do you ask that?"

"Why do we have to move the capital to Peking?"

"I thought you knew what I was thinking. Don't you know where I want to move to?"

Master Hu nodded: "Of course I know, Luoyang!"

"But I don't quite agree with this place!"

Mr. Hu did not intend to be euphemistic at all and directly expressed his opinion.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him in surprise, with the corners of his mouth drooping.

"How come even you don't agree?"

"We originally thought that only those people from Jiangnan would object!"

Mr. Hu shook his head.

"I'm different from them."

"It's easy to understand their idea. They set up their capital in Yingtian City. Their hometown is nearby, so they can be taken care of more or less."

"But if they go somewhere else, what will happen to their hometown?"

"I'm different. I just think Luoyang is not a suitable place."

"You asked Biaoer to go there several times, but have you really walked there and seen it yourself?"

"Don't you realize that the Central Plains has actually withered?"

"Thousands of years of farming have made it difficult for that area to bear its weight. There are large clumps of loess and desert everywhere."

"The best way is to plant trees and relocate people to other places, so that the land can slowly recover over several hundred years." "So, making Luoyang the capital is really not an option!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in understanding: "So this is your reason!"

"That's something we didn't expect."

"But why do you think it would be better for us to come to Peking?"

"This place... isn't that great!"

Few people know that Zhu Yuanzhang actually didn't like Beijing very much.

He always felt that this place was rough and not smooth enough, or in other words, he felt that nothing about this place was right, it was not pleasing to the eye, and the atmosphere was not harmonious.

But since Mr. Hu mentioned this place, he must have his reasons.

"I won't say much about the other things, but there is one thing I hope you can consider more!"

"Well, go ahead, we can listen to what you say."

"Well, that's right. Have you ever thought about this? Ever since the Song Dynasty moved south, this northern land has not been our Han land for two hundred years!"

"If you don't make a big bet, how can you make the people here return to their hearts and minds, how can you make them consider themselves as sons of the Han family?"

After Master Hu said this, Zhu Yuanzhang fell silent.

He raised his head and looked at the city wall in the distance in the same manner as Master Hu just now.

The city wall is not very high.

The city walls that can be seen in later generations are those that have gone through several restorations. At least now, it is just an ordinary old city.

Even because of insufficient money and food and lack of attention, the city wall always looks tattered and dilapidated.

Anyway, the more Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, the less he liked it.

"Although what you said makes sense, there is no need for us to move the capital here, right?"

“We don’t like this place very much!”

"But the problem in the North you mentioned is something we really need to think about."

"In fact, when we came here this time, we felt it on the way."

"The civilians here are looking at the Ming army with too much vigilance. That's not the way they look at their own army."

"What's more, we have raised the banner. Logically, they should know that we are personally leading the expedition."

"But in the end, they still treat us like enemies."

"This is actually because we are unpopular here."

Mr. Hu naturally took over the conversation.

"Isn't this as it should be?"

"In their eyes, since the Northern Yuan Dynasty had its capital here, they were the residents of Yuan Dadu."

"But now the Ming Dynasty has its capital in Yingtian. Even though we are all Han Chinese and write in Chinese characters, in their eyes, we are just poor people who ruin their good life."

laugh……

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and bared his teeth.

"Poor?"

"You're right. In their eyes, we are just a bunch of poor people!"

"Especially me, who was born as a beggar, a real mud-legged peasant."

"How can it compare to the noble bloodline of the Golden Family?"

"But I don't understand. In terms of bloodline, isn't that a beast?"

"When do people need to discuss bloodline?"

"Humph, originally I really considered Beiping as one of the alternatives, but now, I don't want to think about it anymore."

"I am thinking of training troops in the north. We won't set up a capital, but we will set up a large camp to focus on training troops."

"As for the capital, what are you dreaming of!" (End of this chapter)
