Also first

During his reign, he devoted himself to strengthening the ruling power of the Great Khan and controlling the chiefs of various tribes, and in the fourth year of Ming Jingtai (1453), he also arrogantly called himself "Great Yuantian Grand Khan" after defeating Dai Zong Khan, and the jiannian name was "Tianyuan", but it also caused some dissatisfaction and resistance, and was later assassinated by his subordinate Arachi, and after his death, the Walla gradually declined. It was later divided into two parts: the Durbert department under his eldest son Boronahal and the Dzungar tribe under his second son Azuma Timur.

March south to Ming

In the winter of the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty (1446), he also attacked Wuliangha first, sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty border town of Datong to beg for grain, and requested to meet with the garrison eunuch Guo Jing. Zhu Qizhen ordered Guo Jing not to meet with him first, nor to give him grain. In the twelfth year of the Ming Dynasty (1447), he also wrote a letter to Yang Hong, the ming Dynasty Xuanfu defender. After Yang Hong reported to the imperial court, Zhu Qizhen asked him to treat the envoys of Vala with courtesy. Soon after, some of Ye Xian's subordinates came to surrender, saying that they also wanted to attack the Central Plains first, and they did not spend any money to stop him, but they did not listen first, and soon he would ally with other tribes to attack the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty went to Wala, and they also waited for the request of others, and the envoys did not allow it. When the envoys of Vala came to the Ming Dynasty, they actually increased to three thousand, and they lied about the number of people to receive more rewards. The Ministry of Rites gave rewards according to the actual number of people, and the first envoys received only one-fifth of the requests, and they were also very upset at first.

In July of the fourteenth year of the Ming Dynasty (1449), he also lured the Mongol tribes and invaded the Ming Dynasty in several ways. He led Wuliangha's soldiers and horses to attack Liaodong, and the Ara zhiyuan attacked Xuanfu, besieged Chicheng, and sent other soldiers and horses to attack Ganzhou, and first personally led the troops to attack datong, an important border defense town of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty general Wu Haozhan died in Maoerzhuang, and the war report flew to Beijing. However, the Ming Great Wall was not yet completed at this time, and the imperial conquest of Mongolia had almost become a ming dynasty practice before Emperor Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, and Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen obeyed the eunuch Wang Zhen on weekdays, wang Zhen, despite the opposition of Wang Zhi and other courtiers, encouraged Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen to march in person, and in July, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen ordered emperor Zhu Qiyu to stay behind, and Zhu Qizhen led an army of 500,000 (about 200,000). Emperor Ming Yingzong entrusted all military and political power to Wang Zhen alone.

When Emperor Ming Yingzong went out on this expedition, the Ming Dynasty was in a hurry because it had only prepared for a few days, and the military food was not continued on the way, and the military's morale was already unstable. In August of the fourteenth year of the Ming Dynasty (1449), he also defeated the Ming army on the front line, and When Wang Zhen heard about it, he began to retreat in panic and withdrew from Datong. However, Wang Zhen wanted to retire from Zijingguan (紫荆關, northwest of present-day Yi County, Hebei) and sent Emperor Mingying to his hometown of Wei prefecture (蔚州, in modern Wei County, Hebei), and hastily changed the route of the march in spite of opposition from Datong commander-in-chief Guo Deng and university scholar Cao Nai. After forty miles, fearing that the large army would cross the border and damage the crops of his hometown, he urgently ordered the army to turn to Xuanfu (present-day Xuanhua, Hebei), at which time the large army of Wala also caught up with him, and wu Kezhong, the governor of the capital, led the troops to die on the battlefield. Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and Xue Shou of Yongshun Bo led 50,000 horses to block Ye Xian, and when they reached Harrier Ridge, they were ambushed by Ye Xian, and all 50,000 horses were destroyed. Ming Yingzong arrived at Tumu Fort (tumu fort) on August 14 (southeast of Huailai County, Hebei), only 20 miles from Huailai City, and Wang Zhen thought that more than 1,000 Heavy Wugang cars had not arrived, and ordered them to camp on the spot.

Capture of Emperor Ming

In the face of the pursuit and killing of the Yexian army, the Ming Dynasty soldier Shangshu Kuang Ye repeatedly asked to rush into Juyongguan to ensure safety, but Wang Zhen was not allowed. He also led the army to wait for no attack, the terrain of tumu fort was high, there was no spring and no water, and he also waited for the Ming army to be thirsty and impatient, and the army was scattered before attacking.

However, there was only a river fifteen miles south of Tumu Fort, which was also occupied by the Large Army of Wallachia led by Ye Xian, and the Ming Generals were hungry and thirsty, and there was still no water for digging wells. The next day, an army was also sent to besiege the fort. Also dispatched to make a deception and take the initiative to evacuate,

The Change of Civil Engineering

To paralyze the Ming Army. Zhu Qizhen did not doubt that he had him, and sent Cao Nai to draft an edict. Wang Zhen ordered the camp to be moved to the water, and when the Ming army moved, the hungry and thirsty sergeants rushed up and ran to the river, and the men and horses were out of order, and they also took the opportunity to launch an offensive first. The Ming army had to rush into battle, and the British Gong Zhang Fu, The Marquis of Taining Chen Ying, the Du Ma Du Wei Jing Yuan, the Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai, the Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhen, the Sui'an Bo Chen Zhen, the Xiu Wu Bo Shen Rong, the Du Governor Liang Cheng, Wang Gui, Shangshu Wang Zuo, Kuang Ye, the Cabinet University Scholars Cao Nai and Zhang Yi, the Attendant Ding Xuan, Wang Yonghe, and the Deputy Governor Yushi Deng Tang were all killed in the battle, and only Xiao Weizhen of the Right Temple of Dali Temple, Yang Shan of the Left Attendant Lang of the Rebbe, and Li Xian of Wenxuan Lang all escaped by chance.

Emperor Mingying dismounted and sat cross-legged and was soon captured. The guarding general Fan Zhong beat Wang Zhen to death with the sword he was holding from Ming Yingzong and said, "I will kill this thief for the whole world!" "The breakthrough killed dozens of Valar soldiers, and finally died in battle. In this battle, the Ming army died more than half, more than 200,000 mules and horses, and the armor and equipment were heavily plundered. The Ming eunuch Xi Ning surrendered and told Ye Xian the truth of the Ming dynasty capital. I also listened to the car driving of Emperor Yingzong Zhuqi Town first, very shocked and could not believe it, after seeing Zhu Qi Town, very respectful, let Ming Yingzong Zhu Qi Town live in his brother Boyan Timur's camp. When he first wanted to do something rebellious to Ming Yingzong, just when the great thunder killed the horse that he was riding first, and saw that Ming Yingzong's big tent was different, he did not dare to act rashly.

Brutally assassinated

In the sixth year of Ming Jingtai (1455), the Arachi-in attacked Yaxian and was assassinated first. The Tatars killed Arachi, taking Yashin's mother and wife, as well as his jade seal. After his death, Wala gradually declined. It was later divided into two parts: the Durbert department under his eldest son Boronahal and the Dzungar tribe under his second son Azuma Timur.
