"What if it is even the place where the four battles are? Just fight. With Beiping as the capital, there are men from Yan and Zhao as the army of tigers and wolfs, and they are supported by Jiangnan finance and taxation, but are you still afraid that you will not win?"

"Everyone, if you want to maintain peace in the frontier forever, you can only fight. If you retreat to Peking, you can be a national gate, and you can be an outpost."

Speaking of this, he bowed, "Emperor, if the territory of the Ming Dynasty is as long as the thirteen provinces of the Han area, then although the capital Yingtian lacks the intention to enter, it can be maintained. But if the emperor sees the northwest and other places outside the border as the land of China, Yingtian will be a big disadvantage!"

"And, it's not an exaggeration. The country's strength is not always strong. If the north does not work hard, it will be too late to regret it if there is any change the next day!"

After a loud voice, Zhu Gaochi looked around the ministers with his head held high and his chest held high.

He, Prince Yan, has been holding his tail in the capital for too long, and he has only revealed his other side today.

"All nonsense!"

"Rich and ridiculous!"

"Serious!"

The ministers in the hall started to scream again in dissatisfaction.

"Fatty, he looks like you!" Zhu Yunxiu said in his heart.

What he said was right was not Yingtian’s bad, but Yingtian had a natural disadvantage compared to Peking, as the vast imperial capital.

Later generations often said that the Ming Dynasty was the emperor guarding the country's borders. In fact, in Zhu Yunyu's opinion, this was correct and not correct.

The correct thing is that Peking is indeed the foundation of the country.

But the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Peiping for the most fundamental purpose. It was not to defend the country's borders at all, but to fight out and rule the territory shining by the sun and the moon in a legal name.

It’s not that the emperor guards the country’s gates, but that the emperor hunts the border! Hunting at the border!

Peiping can strengthen control over the northeast and northwest to ensure that more troops can be mobilized and face the provocations of strong enemies in the north.

In addition to military, it is more important to be regional and economic.

At this time, the economic center of the Ming Dynasty was in the south, and these places in Henan, Hebei and Shandong were destroyed by the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, due to the hundreds of years of separation, the north and the south urgently needed a link that could communicate with the north and the south.

In addition, establishing capital in Peiping can rapidly develop commerce in Northwest China. Commodities in the south go north along the canal sea road, and the huge domestic demand in the north can also make the southern economy more prosperous, all of which complement each other.

The most important thing is that Yingtian Mansion in Jinling is too indulgent.

"Your Highness the Prince needs to move the capital to maintain peace in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty forever!" At this time, the Minister of Revenue Zhang Jue slowly spoke, "I think it is indeed a bit... whimsical!"

"If Beiping is the capital, the city and palaces need to be built, and the canal transport to the north and south of the canal will be opened. At that time, I am afraid that the little money that I have finally accumulated in the Ming Dynasty will be...wasted again!"

"What Zhang Shangshu said is very much! Moving one household at a time is not a trivial matter, let alone my Ming Dynasty?"

"Moving the capital to Peiping? Isn't this a whimsical idea?"

"Young people really dare to think and really dare to say!"

"Even if the capital is moved, why go to Peking?"

"The court has passed, where are you Yanfan?"

The ministers were once again talking about it. Many people scoffed at Zhu Gaochi's proposal, but many people were bowing their heads and pondering.

"Frog in the well!" Zhu Gaochi was disdainful, "The capital was moved to Beiping, and there were no vassals in the north of the Ming Dynasty! Isn't this trick more open and powerful than thinking about how to reduce the vassals?"

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand slightly, and the hall became quiet again.

"Crown Prince Yan just said it casually, and he was rushing to the point!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Even if he moved the capital, it would not be a matter of just a few words and court meetings!" As he said, he looked at the ministers and continued, "I'm asking Zhu's beloved today to talk about the war between the Northern Yuan and the Oirat, so don't go off topic!"
