Ming Yingzong was not a good emperor, but he was a good man! He succeeded to the throne at the age of 9, and until the change of the Tumu Fort at the age of 22, Zhu Qizhen was in the imperial palace and had not been exposed to the complex people's hearts and society.
It was precisely because he did not understand the hearts of the people that Zhu Qizhen would reuse the eunuch Wang Zhen after he became an adult, and the relationship between the two was a bit like that of the Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao and the Eight Tigers and Liu Jin. Zhu Houzhao himself was not bad, and during his reign, he personally led troops to fight and win the Mongols, but Liu Jin took advantage of Zhu Qizhen's favor to wantonly collect money and bring calamity to the country and the people. Zhu Houzhao later did not want to believe that Liu Jin's disposition was true, and he also led his soldiers to personally investigate Liu Jin's mansion, but the weapons and dragon robes were searched, which made Zhu Houzhao desperately order Ling Chi Liu Jin.
If you go on with the plot of Zhu Qizhen and the eunuch Wang Zhen, you will be the same as Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin.
Wang Zhen was a traitorous courtier, who not only wantonly collected money and money at home, sold officials and promoted his position, but also communicated with Wallachia and made things that were "exchanged for confessions." That is, The Wallachian sent offerings, and the Ming Dynasty gave back gifts several times. The reason why Walla can grow is actually thanks to Wang Zhen's help. This point is really not a joke, from the later means of Zhu Qiyu's destruction of The Wallachians, we can see how important Daming is to the support of the grassland tribes!
If the steppe tribes want to expand, they will face a huge problem - population expansion, what will everyone eat? The steppe nomads are not good at farming, so there is a shortage of grain and grass, and when it is not suitable for farming seasons or winters, they will forcibly cross the border and loot, so as to obtain the materials needed for the continuation of the tribe.
The growth of Vala is inseparable from the help of Daming, even if Zhu Qizhen was captured later and put back, the Ming Dynasty also followed the previous agreement in terms of trade, and there was not much embarrassment for Vala. However, he was not satisfied with just becoming the king of the steppe, and in October 1453, he also first informed the Ming Dynasty that Wa La intended to rebuild the Yuan Dynasty, and "begged" the Ming Dynasty to agree and give the edict!
Why do grassland tribes need the consent of the Ming Dynasty to rebuild the Yuan Dynasty? Because after the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, many tribes and kings were split, and once recognized by the Ming Dynasty, it was the most orthodox one. Then you can first unite the kings of Lingbei to form the greatest force, thus putting more pressure on Daming and even recreating the Yuan Dynasty on Daming's territory.
Zhu Qiyu was not crazy, and naturally it was impossible to agree to Vala's request. Not only did he not agree, Zhu Qiyu also severed trade with Vala, as well as severed the connection between Vala and the kings of Lingbei. A series of operations by the Ming Dynasty plunged the Wala into civil strife, and there were also tribes on the outside who wanted to eat the Wala.
Eventually, he was assassinated and killed, and It was not until the Qing Dynasty that the remnants of the Wala clan were rebuilt.
Wala has been destroyed during the period of Zhu Qiyu, but interestingly, Zhuqi Town was restored in 1457, and there are rumors on the Internet that Zhu Qizhen was grateful for the care of Vala when he caught himself, so he took out a lot of materials in return! The time is not right, it is obviously black for black.'s
Zhu Qizhen was a good man, and he believed in almost everyone around him, from Wang Zhen before Tumu Fort to Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, and Cao Jixiang after the restoration. Even the nobles of Vala befriended Zhu Qizhen because of his humility and modesty, which shows the strong charisma of his personality. However, it is precisely because of believing that the villain has an opportunity to take advantage of it, resulting in the loyal subject being victimized in vain.
Zhu Qizhen was too benevolent, he was suitable to be a prince, but he was not suitable to be an emperor.
