Reborn as Zhu Di's Son

Xiaobai, don't talk nonsense about the capital. The actual front lines of the Ming Dynasty's garrison in Liaodong were Kaiyuan, Tieling, Fushun, and Dandong. The land of Beijing was under the control of the Liao, Jin, and Yuan dynasties for a full 430 years from 938 to 1368. It was also the junction of the two fronts against the Eastern and Northern invaders, and the northern end of the Grand Canal. For such a location, whether it was the capital or not, it was necessary to deploy powerful troops for protection and appoint high-ranking officials. Nanjing does not have this problem, so the Japanese pirates cannot really conquer Nanjing. Maintaining a strong military presence around Nanjing was quite unnecessary. Although the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, a backup team was left in Nanjing. However, the Nanjing government did not really need to take care of too many things at ordinary times, especially since there were not many military affairs to deal with. This team could only serve as a backup for the court and would not become a threat to the court. Being an emperor requires four major strategic resources: soldiers, horses, silver, and food. The soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty mainly came from along the Great Wall, and the money and food mainly came from along the Yangtze River. So, should the emperor choose to stay closer to the soldiers and horses and let others pay for the food, or should he sit at the back and distribute money and food, and control the front line to fight the war? With Zhu Di's experience as a rebel, it is impossible not to choose the former. Whether the Ming Dynasty's northern frontier army rebelled or was annexed by Jurchen or Mongolian forces, Jiangnan could not resist it. At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the corps directly under the central government could maintain a strong combat effectiveness, but as time went by, the Beijing camp would sooner or later be unable to defeat the border troops. If Beijing is lost, it means that the most powerful field legions of the Ming Dynasty were destroyed or mutinied, and the frontier armies in the seven towns of Liaodong, Jizhen, Changping, Baoding, Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi all became enemies. Under such circumstances, let alone the capital in Nanjing, even the capital in Sanya cannot be defended. It would be better to die in Beijing from the beginning.

In fact, it is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to make Zhu Di the crown prince. Judging from the titles given by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di only got a king of Yan, while Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi were kings of Qin and Jin. Zhu Di could not even get the titles of Wei, Qi, and Chu, which shows that Zhu Yuanzhang did not like Zhu Di much at all, and he could not be his legitimate son.

There is also the matter of moving the capital. Peiping has never been the first choice for the capital. Even Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to move the capital to Chang'an instead of Peiping in his later years. If Zhu Biao had not died, he would have moved the capital to Chang'an. Peiping's geographical location is almost the same as Kaifeng, which can be avoided by the nomads in the north. It is too dangerous. If it weren't for some awesome people, only the southern half of the Ming Dynasty would be left. So I think you can consider moving the capital to Chang'an instead of Peiping.

If the capital is to be moved, Southern Zhili cannot have a team. This is actually a big hole left by Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi. There is no time to solve it. After all, Beijing's status has not been officially determined at that time. However, this weakens the central government and gives the Southern Group the soil to merge. Taxes will not be collected later. Southern Zhili is best split into two provinces. Huguang and Sichuan must be demolished even as they develop.

After establishing the crown prince, let's go to the West. I want to go to the West. I, the Ming Dynasty, will colonize the world!

Emperor Yongle

The protagonist has to be a prince for more than 20 years

In ancient China, especially in front of the emperor, do not engage in the idea of ​​gods entering dreams. In Chinese history, in the Huangdi era, the imperial power was greater than the divine power. It was okay to deceive the common people, but the rulers never believed in this. Even if they did, it was only for the common people to see.

Ming Empire

It is rare to come across a normal historical novel. It is much better than those novels that clearly do practical things but do not get the rewards they deserve. After all, there is something wrong with the novel itself in this situation.
