Unifying the world's unit of measurement system became the first national policy of the Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of Jianwen.

Although the emperor Zhu Yunwen only required a re-examination on the two standards of time and length, the people below pondered the emperor's idea of ​​unifying the unit of measurement through Zhu Yunwen's attitude, and then began to re-examination and sort out various units of measurement used in the world to seek credit.

The affairs of the Ministry of Works will naturally be implemented by the Ministry of Works. Emperor Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, was only responsible for orders. Now he has to turn his attention to the prairie.

Zhu Di only took away 30,000 cavalry from the Beijing camp. Although there were routine military newspapers sent to the scouts every day, Zhu Yunwen still felt anxious when he stayed in Nanjing.

Nanjing is too far from the grassland.

In the latest military newspaper, Zhu Di had returned to his base camp, Beiping City, which he had been away for five years, and began to command the battle to send troops from three places to swallow the grassland. This made Zhu Yunwen feel like he was caught by a cat.

"No wonder Zhu Di wanted to move the capital to Beijing in history."

He sighed with a hurried voice from Zhu Di who was eager to fight. Of course, Zhu Yunwen himself knew that Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing not only to satisfy his idea of ​​personally expedition.

Not only did Zhu Di want to move the capital, Zhu Yunwen himself also planned to move the capital!

He wanted to move the capital not for the famous Ming Dynasty saying, "The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies in the country."

According to the records in "The Records of Emperor Taizong", Zhu Di's move to Beijing has nothing to do with these two negative words.

How could the dignified Emperor Yongle be so pessimistic?

Whether he was defending or dying, he was passive. Zhu Di's character was full of aggressiveness. He only wanted to fight, and he only liked to conquer. He moved the capital to Beijing purely to fight better and then escaped the politics in the court that he felt disgusted.

Anyone who is familiar with the political arena of the Ming Dynasty knew that in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty were the Southern faction, the Huaixi Party, the Zhejiang Party and the Jiangxi Party.

Because of the prosperity of Jiangnan's literary spirit, after the resumption of the imperial examination in Hongwu year, the officials in the Ming Dynasty were gradually replaced by scholars from Jiangnan, which led to the phenomenon of strong south and weak north. Moreover, the land and village party complex of the southerners were very strong!

After Zhu Di rebelled, in order to stabilize the country and stability of the Ming Dynasty, he not only made a compromise, but also relied on compromise to justify himself, which indirectly led to the civil servant group gradually becoming involved in the imperial power. Political struggles and party struggles began to sprout in the Yongle Dynasty.

He wanted to make Zhu Gaoxu the prince and was strongly opposed. Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi even played the trick of jointly forcing the palace. Zhu Di was so angry that he could only kill Xie Jin to vent his anger, and then go to the war with anger!

He was also a strange man. He left the prince Zhu Gaochi in Nanjing as a "pseudo-emperor". He was busy fighting in Beijing every day. Later, he simply left his base camp in Beijing and did not return to Nanjing.

Born immediately, die immediately.

Zhu Di was eager to increase his prestige through martial arts, hoping to annex the grassland, so that his prestige could be comparable to Taizu, so that he could make his decision and suppress the Jiangnan Shizi Group, which had begun to gradually expand. His idea was very good, but unfortunately he failed.

During the fifth Northern Expedition, Zhu Di died in the military camp.

However, Zhu Di's move to Beijing was still very useful, because after he moved the capital, the political arena of the Ming Dynasty began to balance. In the court, northern students began to gradually emerge, and the economy and people's livelihood in the north also began to gradually recover and prosper. The situation of strong south and weak north was improved, which could be regarded as stabilizing the basic foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, and military and political factors accounted for the most part. Only his descendants practiced the saying that the emperor guarded the country and the king died in the country.

Zhu Yunwen chose to move the capital to Beijing, which naturally had nothing to do with this sentence. The reasons why he wanted to move the capital were many.

The first is the reason for the atmosphere. Although Nanjing is very good, it is also the largest city in the world at present, but Nanjing is indeed not suitable for being a capital, because Nanjing is too prosperous!

The land of gentleness has eroded the hero's bones.

The red and pink beauty city of Jinling exudes dazzling brilliance from inside and outside. After staying in this city for a long time, the generals who once dominated the battlefield and were full of blood and passion seemed to have a lot of rouge fragrance on their bodies.

In addition to the reasons for the trend, there are political reasons.

The Jiangnan literati group cannot be allowed to continue to be strong. For the sake of balancing the political situation, the political center of the Ming Dynasty must move northward.

Then, to prevent problems, we control the grassland and Liaodong.

Nanjing is near the sea. When the Age of Discovery arrives, Nanjing will inevitably become an important sea-expanding city in the Ming Dynasty. In theory, it has a greater geographical advantage than Beijing, but for the same reason, the potential threat of war is also very great.

How can you put the capital within the enemy's range?

Moreover, within at least two hundred years, the only one that could pose a threat to the Chinese nation was still the nomadic people on the road, so Zhu Yunwen cared more about how to control the grassland and the vast land of Liaodong.

Of course, although Zhu Yunwen has this idea at the moment, he really won’t know what year it will happen again.

After all, the country is currently out of money.

Traveling to Beijing is not just about building a royal palace, but also about moving people to live in real cities. We need to re-plan the city, repair city walls, build roads, and drainage systems. These projects are so huge that they can cost much more than the cost of building a royal palace.

Just as Zhu Yunwen was thinking about the capital migration, Zhu Di, who was far away in the north, had already arrived at Dongsheng Acropolis.

This is the core of more than a dozen wards in the Monan Dusi, and it is also the General Administration Office of Song Sheng.

"After five years of separation, His Highness Yan's style remains the same."

When old friends meet, there is a series of greetings.

Song Sheng looked at Zhu Di, who was much white and slightly fat in front of him, and it was difficult for him to associate the latter with the King of Yan who was fighting side by side with him and fighting on the battlefield.

Song Sheng was looking at Zhu Di, and Zhu Di was also looking at Song Sheng.

Song Sheng, who has been in a high position for a long time and holds an army of more than 100,000, has more momentum than before, and is no longer the Gansu general whom he was determined to fight for.

Zhu Di sorted out his complicated mood, saw Song Xuan beside Song Sheng and said with a smile.

"The general, the son of the emperor is not the same as the commander in the past. He is so handsome. In time, he will be a good general of the Ming Dynasty."

Hearing Zhu Di boasting, Song Xuan hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "I have seen His Highness the King of Yan."

"How can the dog boys be praised by the King of Yan?"

Although he was polite, Song Sheng still subconsciously kept a little distance from Zhu Di in his words. If the border is close to the clan, it would be a big taboo.

"When old friends meet, drink it."

As if he didn't feel it, Zhu Di grabbed Song Sheng's arm and walked into the city: "I came here to visit the northern desert with the imperial edict and see how the people on the Ming grassland are in the near future. Hou Xining has been in the north for a long time, so please introduce it to Gu."

Take a look at my people on the Ming grassland?

A smile appeared on Song Sheng's face involuntarily.

I have heard rumors for a long time that the emperor is very thick-skinned. Unexpectedly, after staying in Nanjing for a few years, even Zhu Di has learned bad things now.

There was no one who brought hundreds of thousands of troops to visit with armor and swords.

The two entered the city with laughter and laughter, and arranged a welcome banquet for Zhu Di at Song Sheng's mansion that night.

Those who were feasted were all commanders of more than a dozen guards in Monan, and the commander-in-chief from Peking, so the Dongsheng Acropolis could be called a general like a cloud.

Although old friends met, there was actually not a very warm atmosphere. Everyone greeted Zhu Di and exchanged a few greetings. The topic couldn't help but turn to the war that was about to begin.

Swallow the prairie!

A major event that makes people think about it, a great battle that can be engraved into history!

"The army of the Timur Khanate has retreated."

Song Sheng spoke up to introduce the current war in the north, and he frowned and was a little disappointed.

"The specific reason was not found. I only know that the army of the Timur Khanate went west through the East Chagatai Khanate. This happened half a month ago. However, most of the grassland coalition forces are still guarding the Us River and dare not move lightly. However, the army of Guilichi and Tatars have diverted 20,000 people, and now they have turned back to the Ounan River."

The grassland people's army has turned around?

This news made Zhu Di frown and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

What he thought was that the army was launched together, and he directly made dumplings on the Onan River without any effort, and then forced the land on Mahamu and Alutai. However, with the army on the Onan River now, it would inevitably increase the difficulty of the Ming Dynasty annexation.

Maybe even Zhu Di himself did not realize that after following Zhu Yunwen for a long time, he is no longer the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty who was eager for blood and killing. He actually began to think about how to maximize profits before the war began, and thought about taking a huge advantage without any effort.

"No matter what, at least what can be confirmed now is that the vitality of the grassland has been greatly damaged, and the grassland tribes are in an absolute period of weakness."

Song Sheng said excitedly: "At least nearly 200,000 Tartars died in the Us River. Now the entire grassland will not exceed 100,000 string control men at most. We have been stocking horses in the south of the desert for so many years. In addition, the tributes on the grassland in the past two years, the number of good horses is nearly 100,000. All the athletes under our command have been practicing horse skills for a long time and can fight at any time."

The Ming Dynasty actually did not lack war horses, and even the number of war horses was very large. Otherwise, how could Lan Yu have won the battle of Fishing Sea and brought the Bei Yuan’s nest?

Could it be that more than 200,000 troops were running on two legs? In addition to being a low-class culture, nomadic peoples are not brainless fools, and they let Lan Yu's army surround them.

I can't beat it and I can always run away.

The main responsibility of Mo Nanwei was to help the Ming Dynasty raise horses. Mo Nan was the Inner Mongolia region in later generations.

The water and grass here are abundant and there are many water systems. In addition, the desertification and soil erosion are far less serious than later generations. Therefore, the current Desert Metropolitan Division has more than a dozen wards under its jurisdiction, hundreds of thousands of athletes and nomadic peoples.

The composition of the Monan Dushi was mainly composed of the Han people. The Mongols who were unwilling to follow the Can Yuan to retreat north and surrender, the Wudiha people, the Jurchens and various ethnic minorities were affiliated. There were also some Uighurs and Hui people here. As early as the 18th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu organized a mission to cross the west and went to Central and Eastern European countries such as the Chagatai Khanate, the Timur Khanate, the Ottoman Empire.

These countries have sent tribute teams to the Ming Dynasty, and Taizu asked them about the main gift they wanted was the war horse!

For example, the data on Timur's tribute to the Ming Dynasty several times, good horses are an indispensable one, most of which are 500 horses and about 1,000 horses. With the tribute from other countries, the number of war horses in the Ming Dynasty is definitely enough.

There are currently two main horse farms in the Ming Dynasty, one is the Mongolian horse farm in the south of the desert, and the other is the Qinghai horse farm in the Mongolian Qiwei.

"A good opportunity that is rare in a thousand years should not be ignored or missed."

Zhu Di raised his glass and drank it all, his eyes firmly becoming stronger.

"At that time, the southern Duwai Wei will sweep along the west side of the Onon River, and at the same time, the three tribes of Liaodong and Urianha will be ordered to sweep along the east side of the Onon River. The encirclement may be widened, so that a remnant of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will not be allowed to escape. It is time to avenge our Han people's revenge for Yashan a hundred years ago!"

The so-called great righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period can still be repaid for the ten generations of enemies!

Feng Shui took turns. When the grassland people went south, the Han people were destroyed, and the country and the land of China were destroyed. Now, it is time for them to taste the taste of the country and the seeds!

All the brave warriors in the lobby were excited, and Zhu Gaoxu even shouted: "Just kill all the more than one million Onan River! The blood debts they committed in Sichuan and Changzhou back then should be repaid with blood."

Seeing the cruel and bloodthirsty look on Zhu Di's face inadvertently, Song Sheng frowned and asked.

"Is this what Your Majesty means, or what King Yan means? The situation in the border areas of my Ming Dynasty is special. If you don't have your Majesty's sage, this matter will never be feasible."

The ethnic situation in Monan is complicated. Once ethnic massacre is carried out, Monan will fall apart in an instant. Could it be that internal cleaning will be carried out first? And what should I do if the Mongolian Baguards in Guanxi do?

"Hou Xining is too worried, and Gao Xu is just talking."

Zhu Di scolded Zhu Gaoxu for a few words, then turned to look at Song Sheng, and said with a gentle voice: "Your Majesty's meaning is to take this opportunity to destroy the Khanate of the East Chagata."
