Yu Qian was a famous military figure and poet in history, a rare all-rounder of literature and martial arts, after the change of Tumu fort, Wa Lai also took advantage of the situation to lead hundreds of thousands of barbarians to attack Beijing, it was he who advocated a death battle, and commanded Youfang to repel the enemy and defend the crumbling Daming Jiangshan Sheji, but why was he still executed by Ming Yingzong afterwards?
The thing is, in the change of Tumu Fort, half a million Ming troops were almost completely destroyed, and the town of Zhu Qi of Emperor Mingying was also captured by the Wallachians, and at that time the capital was ownerless, and the garrison was weak, and there was great chaos within the imperial court. The Wala people, on the other hand, deliberately used Emperor Ming Yingzong and the threat of force to obtain greater political gains, and even annexed the northern territory of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to rule the Yangtze River with the Ming court.
At that time, there was a lot of discussion in the government and the public, and most people thought that the city of Beijing was difficult to hold, and advocated abandoning the north to study the Southern Song Dynasty and crossing the south, but at this time Yu Qian stood up against the southward migration, and Chen took advantage of the interests, insisted on sticking to Beijing, and also proposed to establish a new monarch, so there was the ascension of Zhu Qiyu, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although it was conducive to the national interests at that time, it was not conducive to the harmony within the royal family, and became the root cause of his future killing.
After the end of the defense war in Beijing, the captured Ming Yingzong became a useless hostage in the hands of the Wallachians and was released, but after Ming Yingzong returned, he was a threat to Emperor Mingzong, so he was placed under house arrest by Emperor Daizong in the deep palace, and later Emperor Daizong was critically ill and had no heirs, so under the planning of some speculative ministers, he launched a "palace coup" to overthrow Emperor Yingzong, and later Emperor Mingyingzong became restored, in order to stabilize the throne, so it was inevitable to purge the courtiers who supported Emperor Mingzong. Yu Qian, who supported Emperor Daizong's ascension to the throne, became the target of Emperor Yingzong's killing of a hundred people.
Yu Qian's death was not largely due to the subjective will of Ming Yingzong, because Ming Yingzong knew the crisis of the situation at that time, Yu Qian was a meritorious hero to the country, killing Yu Qian inevitably had to bear the ancient infamy of a dark lord, so he just wanted to take back the position of power in Yu Qian's hands and make him a nominal old minister, not very much wanted to kill him, but Yu Qian's temper in his daily life, offended too many bureaucratic colleagues, in Xu Youzhen and a bunch of other traitorous ministers fell into the well, Ming Yingzong was also aware of Yu Qian's obstacle to his own restoration, and in order to make the inheritance more legitimate, he eventually killed Yu Qian.
Another point is that Yu Qian, a person who does not have a strong sense of position, is a loyal temperament, only has the position of the state in his heart, and has no intention of mixing with the dispute between the princes of the Zhu family for power and profit, Ming Yingzong and Ming Emperor who are the same as the emperor, are Zhu Ming's world, still the world is too peaceful, so Yu Qian's political stance is not firm enough, but also let Ming Yingzong think that Yu Qian is blind, not a figure who stands in his own camp, will naturally reject him.
