Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao (era name Zhengde), the 10th emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is also a very personality of the emperor, the most impressive to everyone is greedy play, the representative work is to build a leopard room. In fact, in addition to being greedy, Zhu Houzhao also had outstanding "military ability", and from his nickname "Wuzong" alone, it can be seen that he is an emperor who can fight well and advocate martial arts.
Zhu Houzhao's dream since childhood was to ride a horse like his ancestors Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, march south to the north, and defeat the invincible hand in the world, but due to environmental reasons, he has not realized his childhood dream.
In 1517 AD, Zhu Houzhao received an urgent report from the border pass: the Mongol prince led an army of 50,000 to attack, zhu Houzhao heard the news, not panicked, but overjoyed, because he finally waited for the opportunity to show his grand plan. When the courtiers heard the news that the emperor wanted to march in person, they sternly refused the emperor's request.
Of course, the ministers were for the safety of the emperor. You know, it has only been more than 70 years since Emperor Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was captured, and the Ming ministers still have shadows in their hearts, so ten thousand are not willing to let the emperor drive the conquest. Zhu Houzhao was determined to go out, so with the help of his subordinate Jiang Bin, he successfully left Juyongguan and then came to Xuanfu.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to fight a war, but as an emperor, he could not do it, and he himself created an official: the governor of the military affairs and the mighty general of the general, and also set the rank and the rank and the fenglu, which looked decent.
In October 1517, the 50,000-strong army of the little prince of Mongolia was preparing to attack Datong, and the border guards and the people under them were anxious, and bitterly advised the emperor to return to Beijing quickly, but Zhu Houzhao had already made up his mind to duel with the Mongol army. Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry, dispatched troops, and calmly responded to the battle.
The first few were small-scale contact battles, and there was no winner or loser. The real battle between the Ming army and the Mongol army was in yingzhou city, the Mongol army was responsible for attacking the city, and the Ming army was responsible for defending the city. The battle lasted from dawn in the morning until sunset in the afternoon, and the Mongol army could not hold out, so the little prince had to order the retreat.
History is called "Yingzhou Great Victory" (the process of the battle of the Great Victory to make up for itself). It is commendable that Zhu Houzhao himself also killed a Mongol soldier with his own hands.
Strangely, after Zhu Houzhao's death, the ministers wrote the "Records of Emperor Wuzong", which recorded a very strange result: sixteen Mongol troops were killed, and fifty-two Ming troops were killed. We know that at that time, the Mongol army was 50,000-60,000 people, the Ming army was more than the Mongol army, and the two sides added up to more than 100,000 people, fought in a firefight for more than ten hours, and finally died so many people, which was obviously problematic.
It can only explain one result, the descendants are in Heizhu Houzhao, after all, this emperor is cynical and playful, and naturally does not receive the treatment of the ministers. In addition, judging from the history books, for a long time after that, the Mongol Tatars never dared to invade the Ming Dynasty again, which had to leave a psychological shadow on the Mongols before they dared to attack?
If only a few dozen people died, they would not dare to invade, which would be too inconsistent with the Mongolian bloodline. Obviously, in the Battle of Yingzhou, the Mongol army suffered heavy casualties and was frightened. And this inconspicuous battle has also become the only proof of Zhu Houzhao's "bravery and fearlessness".
The historical documents of the Ming Dynasty, when the Qing Dynasty was established, had almost been destroyed, so most of the Ming history we see now was compiled by the Qing Dynasty. It is obvious, then, that falsifying history is itself the usual tactic of the victors.
If you imagine, Zhu Houzhao is known as ming wuzong, and the word wu not only means that he likes kung fu, but also expresses his wisdom and divine martial arts, and he will use the word wu. If you don't believe it, you can see what other dynasties are worthy of Emperor Wuzong and what kind of figures Emperor Wudi are.
So you see, the emperors who have achieved achievements have all been magnified and reduced their advantages, so can other ordinary emperors still have good? If it is explained that the emperors of the Dynasty are faint, then how did the Ming Dynasty persist for more than two hundred years?
