Zhu Houzhao, also known as Emperor Wuzong of Ming, the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest son of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming and Empress Zhang, was used as a negative teaching material by the Qing Dynasty, which was a very controversial emperor, the last son of the Ming Dynasty, and also the absurd emperor known in history.
Young Zhu Houzhao could not withstand the temptation, soon abandoned his studies, all day indulged in horseback archery and various small games, in 1505 AD, Zhu Houzhao in the palace to create a "people's street" market, let the palace women, eunuchs dressed as the people and merchants, himself pretended to be rich merchants in the market to buy things, have fun, and later in order to avoid the courtiers, he also built a leopard room next to the palace, raising a variety of rare animals and beautiful women, for his own indulgence, but also often went to Jiangnan to collect beautiful women, waste the government, In this way, Zhu Houzhao seems to be a dimwitted monarch who only knows how to have fun, but this absurd emperor has fought a big victory in the imperial conquest.
In the twelfth year of Zhengde, the little prince of the Mongolian Tatar Khan led an army to invade the Border of the Ming Dynasty and attack Yanghe, Zhu Houzhao received this news, not only harmless, but also greatly excited, he liked to ride and shoot since he was a child, but as an emperor, he could not find the opportunity to fight in actual combat, so this time he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and quickly returned to Beijing to prepare for the conquest.
At this time, less than seventy years after the change of tumu fort, the lessons of the past were in front, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee strongly opposed the pro-conquest, but Zhu Houzhao just did not listen and insisted on leading the troops to fight
Before the expedition, Zhu Houzhao felt that the number of words of his title "emperor" was too small and not domineering enough, so he began to name himself, "ZhenGuo Gong", "Governor of military affairs and mighty general" Zhu Shou turned out of the world, Zhu Houzhao walked out of Juyongguan to meet the Mongol princes. Unexpectedly, this absurd emperor, who usually only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, was quite talented in fighting and personally went on the battlefield to kill the enemy
Ming Wuzong personally went into battle to command the battle, this battle was very fierce, nearly 100,000 people on both sides launched a desperate struggle outside the city of Yingzhou, during which Wuzong and ordinary soldiers ate and lived together, and even killed the enemy with their own hands, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army, Zhu Houzhao sent a small number of troops to lead the snake out of the hole, contained the enemy's main force, and then increased the strength of the enemy to consume the enemy's sharpness, the whole war lasted for several days, and finally the little prince was defeated and retreated, known in history as the "Great Victory of Yingzhou".
Emperor Ming Yingzong led 200,000 troops in the "Change of Tumu Fort" and became a prisoner of The Wallachians, and this time Emperor Wuzong led 50,000 Ming troops to resist the 50,000 Mongol army and achieved a military victory, this battle made the northern border of the Ming Empire stable for a long time, Emperor Wuzong personally arranged for the command, the tactics were correct, the command was correct, and the command was law-abiding, reflecting a high military command ability, and the Battle of Yingzhou became the most glorious moment in Emperor Wuzong's life.
Regarding the great victory of Yingzhou, the History of Ming and the Records of Emperor Wuzong of Ming record: "Sixteen Mongol troops were killed and fifty-two Were killed by the Ming army (there is a great controversy).
