Beijing is located on the border. Once the Qing Dynasty breaks through the Great Wall, it is immediately behind the city. It is really not a good capital.

Nanjing, as the early capital of the Ming Dynasty, had complete facilities and strategic depth to allow for a protracted war with the Qing Dynasty. It is feasible to move forward!

However, it is not an easy task to move the capital.

When the emperor drove his car, it was not as simple as taking three or five people with him or her light cart and going south from a fast horse.

Putting aside what symbolizes rule, the Yellow Book of the ancestral temple ritual vessels must at least bring concubines in the harem, close servants, nobles and relatives, and countless other people.

If you take too many people together, you won’t be able to take the land route. One is that it’s too slow; the other is that Li Zicheng is still moving around.

If everyone walks through the Grand Canal, it is impossible for the Grand Canal to go directly to Nanjing. The risk of sea routes is difficult to measure. The most important thing is whether the Ming Dynasty has such a large ocean capacity? It is obviously unlikely, so in the end, you can only take the land route first, so there are more things to plan!

Apart from the above, even if the emperor agrees and Zhu Zilong supports it, there is still a heart that cannot be overcome.

That is, "The bedding of the ancestor's tomb is in Beijing, and we will move to her."

Moreover, many officials in the court were northerners, and their roots were here. Their ancestors were all Beijing, where they moved the capital with their entourage, and they had been rooted in Beijing for more than two hundred years.

There must be many useful people among these people. So will they subconsciously say, "You should ask for a clever one, I am really not humble. How could I, a northerner, come to Nanjing?"

In addition, I have ignored a class that cannot be ignored. Have you ever asked the opinions of the Beijing camp officers and soldiers? Their children are all in Beijing, so will they be willing to leave?

Without the protection of the Beijing army, it is very difficult to travel thousands of miles safely and reach Nanjing.

The above are all analyzed from a military perspective and from a interests perspective. The southern gentry does not want the northern gentry to move south with the imperial power. Because this will impact their own interests. If the capital is not moved, the north can be used as a barrier to protect their property from robbery.

The northern gentry did not want to move the capital, as this would greatly weaken their political and military status. Anyway, whoever surrendered would be believed that the new rulers needed them.

To take a step back, even if all the above resistance does not exist, Emperor Aoki, Empress and others went south smoothly!

However, in the past, when the Beijing Defense Battle, Daizong did not run away to avoid disaster. When the Gengxu Incident, Shizong did not run away to avoid disaster. In the seventh year of Zhengde, he violated the martial law of the Bazhou capital, and Wuzong did not run away to avoid disaster. As a result, you, a junior emperor, were scared away.

When he arrived in Nanjing, will his rule legitimacy decrease? However, with the Zhu family army, I am still not afraid.

The frustrated bureaucrats who failed in Nanjing's political struggle, and the six ministries in Nanjing, will it cause internal friction between the people of the south and the north?

Assuming these concerns do not exist at all, the biggest problem of moving the capital.

I'm afraid the time was not prepared in advance, it was a bit too short and too hasty.

In the original history, Li Chuang's destruction of the Ming Dynasty was very accidental. Neither King Chuang nor Chongzhen expected that after years of fierce battles with the Later Jin Dynasty, coupled with famine and chaos in the people, the Ming army became so unstoppable.

However, in the plan, Zhu Zilong's suggestion to the queen was that it was not too late to move now, and it was even more troublesome in the future.

Only when the emperor guards the country's gates, the king dies in the country.

This kind of public opinion pressure and moral dilemma are all solved by people with great authority and perseverance. In the letter, Zhu Zilong clearly stated that Comrade Queen can be such a person himself.

With the scoundrel and the powerful scoundrel, the queen's worries were dispelled.

She finally saw the truth clearly and made up her mind to run away.

…………

The next day, the queen recalled Lu Xiangsheng.

After a few hours of secret negotiations with Lu Xiangsheng and Wen Tiren, the specific plan for this "movement plan" was finalized!

That night, Zhu Zilong's emperor clone also woke up and expressed his agreement, which made everyone happy.

Soon, the confidant eunuchs and female officials in the palace began to move all kinds of gold, silver, fine, soft, grain, rice, meat, and jerky to the car and specific rooms without knowing the truth.

What Lu Xiangsheng and the secretly came from Wanlisha members were to control the Jingying and Deshengmen who left the city.

At this moment when the building is about to collapse and people's minds change, even as the emperor's personal army, Zhu Zilong is extremely worried. After all, human nature is sinister!

On the contrary, the future of life and death is as close as the royal family, the eunuchs and palace maids, as well as the Jinyiwei and some talents, are real allies.

On the other side, in Wen’s mansion, Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, quickly asked his family to pack their luggage.

However, thankfully after the queen and the emperor made the right choice, Wen Tiren also had his own concerns.

The six ministries of the Nanjing court in the Ming Dynasty were mostly members of the Donglin Party. Donglin Academy was in Wuxi and fled to Nanjing to find their old enemies and have a meal together. I don’t know if the queen could protect him.

"But... it is precisely because the Donglin Party in Jiangnan that the emperor should value me more to prevent the government from becoming the only one in the court? Moreover, the Duke of Sihai also has some influence in Jiangnan, and there is still room for development." Thinking of this, Wen Tiren felt a little relieved.

A few days later!

A shocking news came from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor and the empress decided to abandon the capital and move the capital south.

For a moment, when the ministers in the capital heard the news, they rushed to the outside of Shenwu Gate, wanting to cry and advise the emperor not to leave the capital easily.

However, with the protection of the Tianxiong Army and Wanli Killing, as well as some loyal Jinyiwei troops, and the entrance to the city was controlled, these people did not do as they wished.

Zhu Zilong's emperor clone had already changed his clothes and led a group of family members and guards to rush to Deshengmen.

The ministers went to Deshengmen again and saw the emperor standing on the top of the city with his helmet and armor. Some ministers cried and said, "Please don't abandon the ancestral temples and tombs, which will be laughed at by the world."

The answer to them was Zhu Zilong's emperor clone, and he sneered.

When I was young, the imperial edict issued:------(The preservation of the capital and the country was not conducive to the country, and it was even more worried by the frontline soldiers. It would be better to go south to master the land of wealth, raise funds and train troops, refresh the administration of officials, and revive the Ming Dynasty!)

Next, the rebellious intentions of Zhu Zilong's imagination of some people in the Beijing camp really came true.

The nobles, led their families and soldiers to join the five cities of the army, as if they wanted to seize the gate and block the imperial lord from leaving the city.

However, in front of Tianxiongjun and others, they were all combined.

When he was young, Zhu Zilong's emperor clone led the empress, imperial concubine, prince, palace maids and eunuchs, along with court officials and guards, and left the capital and left the capital.

There is also an imperial edict. If there is no attack from the capital, the four gates will be opened, so that the people can leave the city.

At the end, hundreds of people in the Imperial College, who were speaking of the saint, held the tablet of the Supreme Master in his hand and wanted to go to Deshengmen to block the imperial guards. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Deshengmen, the emperor had already left the city for a long time.

Everything will be over!

The capital of the emperor. Without the emperor, can it still be called the capital?

As Zhu Zilong asked to move the capital, he successfully ran away. Within a few days, the city of Beijing fell into an unprecedented chaos.

All the officials in the court were incompetent people.

He has always despised the warriors and hated wars, and had no experience or ability to lead troops. As the emperor abandoned the city and moved south, the imperial court's prestige was gone in the capital.

The people in the capital were young and strong, and there were no food and wages to replenish, and no weapons were available. The wife and children in the family were hungry and fled on the spot. The few remaining soldiers were still defending the city!

Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, the people who could run basically started to run away, and those who could not run away were basically corrupt officials. Because they occupied a large amount of land and stored the wealth and food in the sea, they could not run away even if they wanted to.

Zhu Zilong was not worried that the capital and the Forbidden City would be damaged in the war. Because there was no emperor inside and not many people guarding the city.

Even the common people were gone, leaving only a large number of Donglin Party, local tyrants, landlords, and black-hearted merchants. They guarded the fields, property, food, silver, and beauties, and were reluctant to run away here.

Whether it is Li Zicheng coming, Wang Zicheng or Ma Zicheng, even if history re-enacts the fact that it is a matter of beating corrupt officials and making a lot of money.

What does it have to do with Zhu Zilong? If you keep such a big gift for you, you will never set fires randomly, right?

When the backward thieves were killed in the future, those black-hearted money would be washed away after a few moves. With the ability of the Zhu family army, I believe that by then, there will be a considerable part of it indirectly, and it will be returned to Zhu Zilong's hands.

Haha, if that's all, why not do it?

………

A few days later, Zhu Zilong's prediction came true.

When he learned that the capital was opened and the emperor went south, Li Zicheng didn't care about asking for trouble for the emperor halfway, so he rushed to the capital, preparing to make a fortune, and even tasted the taste of sitting on a dragon throne.

After arriving nearby, after investigation.

A general rushed over, slapped the dust on his body a few times, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully to Li Zicheng: "Return to the King of Dashun Chuang, according to the spy's return, the gate of Beijing was wide open. The Emperor Zhu's Dog really left the capital and moved the capital south!"

Immediately, Li Zicheng and the leaders around him were all happy.

Legend has it that gold and silver are everywhere, and the streets are full of wealthy families, with four gates wide open, with little defensive power. If you don’t attack at this time, when will you wait?

"How much gold, silver and treasure can the Emperor of Ming Dynasty bring with him? How can he compare to the capital, king, as long as we open a house of a royal relative, the harvest will be equal to the ten counties we have captured before!" A thief suggested happily.

Listening to the discussions of the younger brothers beside him, Li Zicheng laughed and waved his hand, "...Since that's the case, let's let go of other places for now and concentrate on going to the capital to see the world!"

"Let's wait, obey the order of the King of Breaking!" The leaders of the thief army sang in unison and saluted and agreed.

Turning around, they issued orders to their respective troops to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
