When it comes to emperors, everyone can always think of those domineering portraits of emperors, and in their hearts they can't help but think that their images are all air-swallowing and self-respecting. But in fact, the emperor is also a human, his appearance is also very ordinary, and he also has seven emotions and six desires. Historically, there were some emperors who had their own petty fetishes.
For example, the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty not only liked to appreciate calligraphy and painting, but also liked to leave his own seal on the calligraphy and painting. Every time he saw the ink treasure that he praised, he always had to stamp it with excitement. There are some calligraphy and paintings, and even densely covered with different seals, Qianlong's behavior is simply "stamping madness".
And the Northern Qi Hou main high latitude, it is even more strange. He not only built a dilapidated village in the palace, but also liked to dress up as a beggar and lived in this "village in the palace". No one knows what he really thinks, probably to find something for himself.
The emperor we are going to talk about today also has a very strange habit, that is, he likes to fight. The average emperor likes to batch or wait for people in the palace, and this emperor is not only eager to fight on the battlefield, but even really fights a victory. He was Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao did have a certain military talent, but under the favor of his father, he became willful and playful. The ministers didn't have any way to deal with him, and they didn't complain about him behind his back. After he gave himself a heroic official position, he set out for the border with his soldiers and horses. At that time, when the little prince of Mongolia led the attack, the always aggressive little emperor could sit still, and under the obstruction of the ministers, announced his decision to march in person.
The little emperor did have some skill, under his strategic arrangement, the little prince of Mongolia was tricked into the group, and finally had to order the retreat, and even frightened for a long time did not dare to invade. This war, under the leadership of Zhu Houzhao, was victorious. Although it sounds incredible, there are indeed detailed records in the history books, and the name of this war is called the "Battle of Yingzhou". Strangely, there is a saying about the record of the war - "16 Mongol troops were killed, 52 Ming troops were killed, a total of 68 people."
You know, since ancient times, wars have always fought to the death, and it is impossible to have such a small number of casualties, not to mention that the number of people on both sides participating in the war at that time was as high as 100,000, and the fierce battle lasted for 10 hours. Historians expressed doubts about the authenticity of the war, believing that in fact, the Ming army had not won at all, and the ministers had long been dissatisfied with the wayward foolishness of the little emperor, so they deliberately recorded such a stroke in the history books to discredit his reputation. After all, these records of the war began to be recorded only after Zhu Houzhao's death.
We don't know exactly what the truth of history is, but this battle result has indeed shocked future generations and has also become a brilliant stroke in Zhu Houzhao's wayward deeds.
