An excellent military commander of the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Milling, was skilled in leading troops to conquest all his life. As a commander stationed on the frontier for many years, Zeng Milling set strict military discipline on his army and was good at insight into every soldier. The Battle of Hetao, a Mongol tribe, perfectly interpreted the talent and wisdom of General Zeng Milling, and also reflected the loyalty to the country.
Zeng Milling fought for the country, not afraid of suffering, not afraid of giving his life. Even such a great general could not escape the evil hands of the jealous people in the DPRK. Therefore, in the elaborate schemes of the sinister people, he was wrongfully killed, thinking that the famous general would fall from then on. The hero was not good at eloquence, and was brutally killed, and his family members were left in a desolate place and exiled to the frontier.
First, anti-Mongolian wisdom and courage are both complete
In this regard, it is also necessary to start from the Loop area of the Yellow River Valley, which has been difficult to collect since it fell into the tiger mouth of the Mongol tribes in the early years. After a hundred years of war and strife, the time of the Three Dynasties has not been recovered by the Ming Dynasty.
The Loop was at the confluence of Mongolia and the Central Plains, and the Mongol Tatars took advantage of this area to build fortifications. Constantly expanding its own army, stationing strong and strong elite soldiers. The powerful Mongol state, since occupying the Hetao region, has invaded the frontier every year. Zeng Milling, a great general, and his excellent command skills allowed him to recover the lost land of Hetao for the Ming Dynasty.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing, in June of that year, Inner Mongolia reorganized its troops, recruited and trained 100,000 cavalry who were brave and good at war, and set out from the Hetao area to attack Xuanfu directly. Like a vicious wolf, he led his troops to the west, and 100,000 cavalry swept all the way to attack Yan'an. In the Ming Dynasty, every year was based on step-by-step defense and the construction of defensive walls. This time, the Mongols committed a crime and encountered the "iron bone" Zeng Milling.
The military of the Ming Dynasty was in decline in the face of Mongol aggression at that time, and general Zeng Milling had only a thousand warriors who could conquer the battlefield. The Mongol elite army was 100,000 strong, and the decaying military system made it impossible for General Zeng Qiao to gather a large army to resist the fierce enemy for a time. When the eyebrows were burning, Zeng Milling was not in danger, and his excellent command ability was like nectar water, which was good at touching the hearts of the soldiers and doubling his confidence.
This first battle, he decided to surprise! In Sun Tzu's art of war, the strategy of virtuality and reality is "to attack and defend.". Li Zhen sent his subordinates to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, taking advantage of its lack of preparation, to attack Maliang Mountain outside the fortress. At this moment, the first rank of more than a hundred Mongol soldiers was killed, and the Mongol soldiers panicked, not knowing the enemy's coming and number.
The virtual reality made the Mongol soldiers bottomless, and in this battle, the spearhead poked at their pain points, thinking that the Ming Dynasty army was going to encircle the saiwai camp. The Mongol soldiers and horses, who were afraid of being wrapped in dumplings, withdrew their troops to protect the camp and stopped invading Yan'an.
When the Mongol soldiers returned, the Ming army retreated early and went home. To attack is to defend, to defend is to attack; to be virtual is to be real, and to be real is to be virtual; black is white, and white is also black. Zeng Milling was good at using every law, and under this sinister war, he pulled back the situation with one blow, turned passivity into superiority, and showed everyone his excellent military command ability.
Second, the development of new weapons
As a general of the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Milling's outstanding features are his deep understanding of the art of war, his ability to understand the trend of war, and his advanced thinking. Zeng Milling attaches great importance to the research of weapons and the manufacture of firearms. He is good at using self-invented chariots and flowering bombs in the battlefield to defeat the enemy.
Speaking of this chariot, this big guy was able to ride a horse in the war at that time. Use firearms to restrain the Inner Mongolian cavalry, leaving the enemy cornered and unable to fight. This is not the end, what is the greatest military invention in Zeng Mill's life
It was he who personally spearheaded the development of the timed flowering bomb, which he named "Slow Gun Method". Taking advantage of the enemy's fondness and curiosity about beautiful items, He packed the timing blossom bombs into particularly gorgeous, colorful packaging. The enemy on the battlefield, seeing such a beautiful thing, thought that he had picked up the treasure, rejoiced, and a group of people were studying around, and the flowering bomb suddenly exploded.
It's such a beautiful thing, blown up to a large piece, dead and wounded. The enemy scattered and fled in horror, and the momentum was low and the momentum was greatly weakened. In the later battles, the enemy was also lured into the city, and the enemy was bombarded with artillery and firearms.
Third, darkness and coldness are framed
After several years of accumulated experience, weapons research and development, soldier training, and careful analysis of the situation, to find out the situation between the enemy and ourselves. This enthusiastic general Zeng Milling proposed to the imperial court to "retake hetao". Led the elite troops to 60,000 strong generals, fifty pay, land and water, straight to the Mongolian River Loop barracks to march
In addition, it was proposed to build a war defense system such as the border wall. The voice in the DPRK is very high, and the DPRK and the DPRK ministers fully support it. Everything went so smoothly, and this idealistic, ambitious celebrity Zeng Milling made ample preparations for the Hetao region rather than blind undesirable suggestions.
Just when this general was full of enthusiasm and single-mindedly collecting the land for the country, he could not have imagined that earth-shaking changes had taken place. The struggle between the DPRK and China was incessant, the emperor in power was selfish and suspicious, the treasury could not make ends meet, and the national grain treasury was empty. The ministers of the DPRK and the CPC have always calculated deeply, worshipped la bang, and gained their own interests, so how can such a loyal and courageous person be able to fight a struggle?
When the war of harvesting was won one after another, the DPRK and China were short of supplies and food, and there was no food to eat, so how could the soldiers fight? At the same time, at the top of the court, Xia Yan and Yan Song were fighting openly and secretly, and their forces were fighting, and they both wanted to kill each other.
This iron-boned Grand Duke Zeng Milling was selfless and acted in a bright and upright manner. Yan Song calculated deeply, framed and fabricated facts, and handed over the so-called evidence to the emperor of the dynasty. A Zeng Miller, who held military power, interacted with Tianzi's bodyguards, which touched the bottom line between the emperor and his courtiers. When Emperor Mingshizong couldn't bear it, Qiu Luan in prison confessed that he had embezzled military pay.
The loyal and courageous people had long put life and death aside, and Zeng Milling did not die for the country, but became a victim of the struggle of the imperial court. In the dark and boundless political arena, the emperor listened to rumors and did not believe in loyal subjects, and was eventually reduced to a prisoner by power.
Such a zeng miller who did practical things for the country became a victim of those who saw the wind and made the rudder and struggled. This ugly phenomenon made Zeng Qiao sacrifice his life. His wife and children were exiled for thousands of miles, and the righteous warrior Wang Huan was grateful for Zeng Milling's kindness and escort for thousands of miles. The change of fortune protected them for the rest of his life, and vowed to clear the grievances of Zeng Milling.
4. Summary

Good and talented generals, conquering the battlefield, helpless official struggle cold and dark.

Wang Huan protected the wife and children of the good general Zeng Milling all his life, and a generation of famous generals died unjustly.
