The matter of restoring capital was made soon after taking over Beijing City. Zhu Yicheng appointed Sun Jiagan as the prefect of Shuntian not only to stabilize Beijing City, but also to prepare for restoring Beijing City.

Since Beijing returned to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been working hard in Beijing over the years to eliminate the influence of the Qing Dynasty on the legacy of Beijing. In addition to the Manchus who remained in Beijing and failed to escape, these influences mainly include allowing Beijing, and even the people in northern Zhili to regain their sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time eliminating some traces of the Qing Dynasty in Beijing.

Although the Qing Dynasty entered the pass for less than a hundred years, it took a lot of effort to consolidate its rule and turn the people of the Ming Dynasty into slaves of Manchus in the past few decades, and this was the crazy head shaving order.

In order to make the Han people a slave of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court forced the slogan of leaving hair without leaving head, and shouted the slogan of leaving head without leaving head, and forced all Han people to remove Chinese clothes and hats with butcher knives, thus leaving an extremely ugly pig tail.

In addition to this, the Qing Dynasty also tried to change the customs and habits of the Han people from other aspects, including language, which is the so-called Beijing films in later generations. These Beijing films have never been pronunciations of the Han people, but come from outside the gates.

You should know that the so-called Mandarin in the Ming Dynasty was the sound of the Jinling in Jiangnan, which is also called the eloquent voice of the Central Plains. Since the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, the eloquent voice of the Central Plains has become a common official language in the Han court. After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he directly announced that the eloquent voice of the Central Plains was the official language of the Ming Dynasty.

After regaining the city of Beijing, the first step of the Ming court was to restore clothes and forcibly restore the Ming Dynasty's Mandarin. Judging from the current situation, this was implemented well. The people in the city of Beijing have basically given up rolling their tongues and changed to the Central Plains Yayin. Even if they were not good, they were at least trying to change.

Not only ordinary Han people, but also those ordinary Manchus who stayed away from Manchus under the current situation, used Han surnames, changed their clothes, spoke the elegant voice of the Central Plains, and learned the same lifestyle of the Han people. After all, many of the Manchus who stayed were just middle and lower classes among Manchus. They were essentially different from the noble Manchus. It was not difficult to assimilate these people. In addition, many of these people were born and raised in Beijing, and they were basically the same as Han people except for a Manchu.

Naturally, the so-called Manchu residential areas and hardcore crops in the inner city were naturally abolished, and these Manchus who integrated into the Han people also lost their "privileges" in the past. However, in addition to some lazy Manchus, most Manchus still recognized these policies. After all, the Ming Dynasty did not kill them with one stick. After collecting their hardcore crops, they also gave them some other opportunities. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is now in the rise of industry and commerce and prosperity in various places. As long as they work hard, it is no problem to find a job to support their families. If they have some brains, it will be better to make a fortune from this.

As for those stubborn Manchus, the Ming Dynasty naturally had a way to deal with them. Sun Jiagan's several methods made these people look bad, and in a very short time, Beijing was the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to the people, the most important thing is the Forbidden City. In fact, as mentioned earlier, Sun Jiagan started to restore and transform the Forbidden City when he took office, but this project cannot be completed in a short time, especially those messy things added by the Qing Dynasty in the Forbidden City later had to be removed, but they also had to be redecorated and repaired in the Ming Dynasty. This project is quite large.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty has been fighting. Although the treasury revenue has soared due to the prosperity of business, the expenditure has remained high. Naturally, the funds for the recovery of the Forbidden City are insufficient. The Ministry of Revenue can only allocate a very small amount of these funds, and most of the expenses are paid out by Zhu Yicheng from his pocket. Unfortunately, Sun Jiagan could only do what he could and did it step by step. However, a while ago, news came that the recovery of the Forbidden City has almost been completed.

When it comes to the impression of the Forbidden City, perhaps the first reaction of later generations is the unique decorations that can be seen everywhere, and the most obvious of them is the Manchu decoration similar to cloisonné and the omnipresent blue patterns.

In fact, although the cloisonne craft began to emerge in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the color of blue is an "evil" color in the eyes of the Han people, that is, a very unlucky color. Even in the era when cloisonne was most popular, the items made were often related to Buddhist instruments, sacrifices, etc., and the use of blue is extremely cautious. More importantly, it is rarely used directly for decoration of the palace.

From the perspective of historical color evolution, blue is not only a bad color, but also an alien color, which is the color that was brought to the Central Plains after the rise of nomadic peoples. Moreover, compared to the Han people, these aliens liked this color very much when they didn't know how to go back. This was also the fact that after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and occupied Beijing, it continued to use blue to decorate wildly inside the original Forbidden City, thus forming the later decorative color.

Therefore, except for a small part of these colors, most of them must be removed directly to restore their original appearance. Zhu Yicheng had already explained these things specifically, and Sun Jiagan, who was in charge of this matter, was naturally very clear about them.

With the gradual recovery of Beijing City, including the entire Northern Zhili, after the end of the Central Plains War, Sun Jiagan wrote several letters to Zhu Yicheng and suggested that the capital be returned as soon as possible. Although Zhu Yicheng was moved, he temporarily suppressed this matter considering a series of factors.

Although Sun Jiagan did this out of the orthodox Ming Dynasty and declared the public intention of the world, he also had his own little plan. You should know that as the prefect of Shuntian, he was a parent official in Beijing. Although his position was low, his power was not small, but this premise was to return the capital.

Only by officially returning to Beijing City can he be worthy of his reputation as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. Moreover, although Sun Jiagan is an upright official and has strong abilities, he also has a desire for power. Once he returns to Beijing, not only will his power rise, but more importantly, he can re-enter the center from his current foreign official status and become a popular candidate for the next Military Affairs Office. You must know that there is not much time left to change the military ministers. If you cannot join the military affairs at this time, you will have to wait for several more years. But who knows what will happen in the future?
