In the fourteenth year of Zhengde (1449), in the face of the increasingly powerful Wa La and the increasingly obvious disobedience of the Wa Thorn, Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong, at the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen, decided to emulate the story of Emperor Taizong Zhu Di and march in person.
At this time, above the court, the three Yang Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pu had all died, and without the persuasion of the heavyweight ministers, the young emperor was still determined to go his own way and personally lead the army to go out on the expedition. In the end, after ordering 500,000 troops, Zhu Qizhen took more than 100 officials such as Zhang Fu of the British Gong, Zhu Yong the Duke of Chengguo, Shangshu Kuang Ye of the Bingbu Department, Wang Zuo of the Hubu Shangshu, Cao Nai, and Zhang Yi of the Cabinet, and of course, his confidant eunuch Wang Zhen.
However, due to his lack of strategy, military and political affairs were decided arbitrarily by Wang Zhen. So a unexpected, unexpected fiasco of the Tumu Fort broke out. To say that it was expected that such an employment would undoubtedly lead to defeat; to say that unexpectedly, it was the shocking casualties in the tumu fort change, and more than half a million troops were lost, including the annihilation of the three thousand battalions, the Shenji battalion, and the five military camps of the world's most advanced army established by Zhu Di at that time, and the martyrdom of 66 ministers such as Zhang Fu and Kuang Ye.
Of course, emperor Ming Yingzong Zhu Qi was also captured by the Wala army. After the victory of the Wallachian army, it did not give up on this, and with the trump card of the Ming Emperor in hand, it was natural to do the process of maximizing interests. He also first followed the order to the army to Beijing, which was empty at this time.
The shame of Jingkang? At this time in beijing, Zhu Qiyu, the auxiliary prince of Yi, did not know why, Xu Youzhen and others even proposed to move south to avoid disaster, but Yu Qian, who was then a military attendant (similar to the current minister of national defense), stood up, and he supported Zhu Qiyu as emperor (zhu Qiyu, the crown prince of Zhu Qizhen at that time, was only 2 years old) and organized people to defend Beijing to defend against Wallachia. In this way, The Walla could not attack the city, and Ming Yingzong also became his predecessor and had no use value.
The Wala army also had to retreat, and Ming Yingzong was also wrapped up in the Mongolian steppe. The time is even longer than a year, so how did he spend more than a year in Wala?
Speaking of the king's captivity, the first thing that comes into sight is the shame of Jing Kang. In the catastrophe of 1126-1127, the Jin people burned and plundered, and the second emperors of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were escorted north without the face of a human monarch; the princesses, empresses, and concubines in the royal family were also under the sheep ceremony, mostly humiliated. Presumably, the captured Ming Yingzong Zhu Qi Town would do the same, right?
In fact, compared with the tragic situation of Song Huizong and Song Qinzong being humiliated, his "prisoner treatment" was still excellent. Although all the way to the boat and car, the Wala, as a nomadic people, has migrated a lot, which has also made this noble body have slept in a "pig house" and lived in a simple state; but in the end, he has not been physically and mentally humiliated. "The emperor has entered the desert, and the dwelling place stops at the desert, and there is a cart and a horse next to it, and it is only a matter of turning his back" is also.
And although in this change of tumu fort, Vala also became the victor first, but compared with the Ming Dynasty that was stable in the ascendant period, it was undoubtedly a grasshopper shaking the tree. Therefore, in terms of etiquette, it is even more "dazi Dafu meets on the way, and all of them prostrate themselves on horseback, and follow the way into wild game and tits." "There is a hint that this is not a prisoner, but a "grandfather" has been invited.
Ming Yingzong may not be able to govern the country, but he is first-class in making friends. During his time in Wala, he also made a good friend named Bo Yan, who was straightforward and arrogant, and also allowed Bo Yan not only to worry about food and clothing, but also to arrange maid service for him even in his living.
More than a year after Wala, under the wisdom of Zhu Qizhen and the consideration of political interests, Zhuqi Town was released to Daming. But unlike the relative comfort of Walla, in the Forbidden City of Beijing, what awaits him is a 7-year long seclusion life.
