In 1449, Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen led an army of 200,000 men, claiming to be half a million to kill Wala in a mighty way, and when passing through Tumu Fort, due to the disturbances of Wang Zhen and Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen, the 500,000-strong army was also wrapped in dumplings and copied the back road by Wala.
Since then, Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen has been captured, and since then he has received titles such as "Daming God of War" and "Walla International Student", but for Daming, the change of Tumu Fort was really a devastating blow.
The elites of the three major battalions of the Daming Divine Machine who participated in the battle with the army were all reimbursed, and it should be known that these people were all elite generals who followed Zhu Di's Northern Expedition to Wala, and only in the past twenty years, all the generals of the Northern Expedition were killed in battle, although Yu Qian later restored the three major battalions of the Divine Machine, but the combat effectiveness could no longer be the same day.
In addition, the most important thing is that the losses of the Daming Wuxun group are very serious, and there is a heavyweight figure among the people accompanying the trip, that is, the British GongzhangFu, to put it bluntly, this person should be the famous general second only to Zhu Di in the Yongle Dynasty, however, this war even the British Gongzhang Fu has been reimbursed, which shows what kind of consequences the "Walla Students" brought to the Ming Dynasty, and in addition to Zhu Neng's son Zhu Yong also died in the army, which led to the ming army's middle and young generation all faults, no longer able to suppress the civilian official clique, It also led to the expansion of the civilian-official clique in the future.
As a famous general of the first class in the DPRK at that time, Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong and others could give Zhu Qizhen a little advice, why did not give Ming Yingzong some advice when the change of Tumu Fort, after all, the identity was there, and Ming Yingzong would still consider his opinion.
Ming Chengzu's five expeditions to the north of the desert did not crush the grassland tribes
In 1368, The Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang established Daming, after which he ordered Xu Da to march north in the name of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China", after which he recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
After unifying the Central Plains, the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to continue to use troops towards the north of the desert, but was defeated by Wang Baobao, so Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the idea of inheriting the territory of the Yuan Empire, and after that, the Great Wall was bounded by the Mongol forces for 200 years.
After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ascended the throne, because he had to make a career if he did not have the right position, he made five expeditions to the north of the desert after this.
Although the Northern Yuan dynasty at that time had perished, there were still three major forces in the desert steppe, the Wallachians, the Tatars, and the Wuliangha, although Zhu Di's Northern Expedition subdued the grassland departments, but the problem was that the Ming army could not last in the grassland, so it would withdraw after a period of time.
At the same time, in order to make the grassland unable to be unified, Zhu Di adopted the method of "turnips and sticks" to contain the grassland departments, that is, to use one force to contain another force.
Zhu Di had the Mongol elite in his hands, that is, the "Duoyan Sanwei" of Zhu Quan, the King of Ning, and after Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zhu Di gave them a part of the land and asked them to help Daming Shubian.
When Zhu Di himself was there, he could completely rely on his military ability to subdue the grassland departments.
However, with the death of Zhu Di, the grassland gradually lost its restraint, and at the same time, after Zhu Gaozi and Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne, they began to shrink the defensive line in order to recuperate, positioning the border of the Ming army on the Great Wall, and a large amount of land outside the Great Wall was left to the grassland, because the Ming army at this time contracted the defense line, the three parts of the grassland were no longer contained, and in the same period, the Vala talents were abundant, and by the first period, the Wala had basically subdued the grassland departments and repeatedly invaded the Daming border, which had after that there was a "change in the tumu fort".
The famous general Zhang Fu hero is late
On the eve of the Tumubao Incident, the famous general Zhang Fu was 75 years old at this time, and he was one of the few veterans who had participated in the Battle of Jingnan.
After the Battle of Jingnan, Zhang Fu attacked Annan many times, which can be described as outstanding merit, it can be said that if Zhang Fu was too young and too shallow in seniority, it was Zhang Fu who replaced Qiu Fu's northern expedition.
It was precisely for this reason that before Zhu Zhanji died, he entrusted the young emperor to Zhang Fu and Sanyang's old courtiers.
During this period, Zhang Fu was supported by Empress Zhang, and Sanyang was also the strongest cabinet of Daming, and although the little emperor did not understand things at this time, Daming was still thriving and did not weaken because of this.
However, with the death of Empress Zhang and Sanyang, Zhang Fu gradually lost his patron, and his situation in the court became more and more difficult.
At that time, after Zhu Qizhen was pro-government, he was very fond of the eunuch Wang Zhen who accompanied him in his growth, and thus Wang Zhen grasped the great power of the dynasty, and in the middle of the dynasty, he made great efforts to go along with us and those who rebelled against us died, and the courtiers who engaged in it were all in danger.
Zhang Fude is highly respected, naturally it is Wang Zhen's eye nail, but Wang Zhen is very clear about Zhang Fu's weight, so he did not attack him, but at this time Zhang Fu was dismissed from military power because of his advanced age, although Wang Zhen was not enough to harm his life, but he has become a "decoration", a de facto "auspicious doll", he only has the right to suggest and no decision-making power for major matters in the DPRK.
At that time, after Zhu Qizhen was pro-government, many things were handed over to Wang Zhen to deal with, as the elder of the Four Dynasties, Wang Zhen may sometimes consider Zhang Fu's opinion, but it is only a question, as for not using your advice, this Zhang Fu can't manage it at all.
It is precisely because he is far away from the center of power and no longer trusted by the emperor, at this time, Zhang Fu's advice to the emperor is really minimal.
On the eve of the Tumubao Incident, when the Ming army invaded the border, Yang Hong, the veteran general of Xuanfu, who had made outstanding achievements in the DPRK, Song Ying, the military affairs officer of Datong, and Zhu Ying, the Marquis of Xining, and others proceeded from a practical point of view, believing that the Ming army had been in a position of sparse battle for a long time, its combat effectiveness was not good, and its strength was somewhat insufficient, so it did not agree with Daming's attack on Vala, and at this time Daming should do more than to fight back in Xutu after strictly defending the nine-sided departments, at least to be invincible.
As the elder of the Four Dynasties, Zhang Fu had been in battle for a long time, and he also agreed with Yang Hong and others from a practical point of view.
However, at this time, Zhang Fu was after all a man of few words, and at that time, the government was controlled by the civilian official clique and Zhu Qizhen, and in the face of the provocation of Wa La, Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen advocated a counterattack, and the civilian officials who had always been incompatible with Wang Zhen actually agreed to Wang Zhen's suggestion, and at this time the opposition in the court was not proportional.
At this time, Zhang Fu saw this result, and knew that no matter how much advice was useless, he was already seventy-five years old and had experienced a lot of wind and rain, but he was also a hero who began to become a promise, and when he saw that Zhu Qizhen could not listen to it, he thought that more was better than less.
However, as a famous general, Zhang Fu still keenly felt a hint of danger, and even the spirit hall was arranged for himself before leaving.
In the end, as Zhang Fu predicted, the 200,000 Ming army had no power to fight back in the face of The Wallachia, and the troops almost collapsed at once, and they no longer had the courage of Zhu Di's northern expedition.
Therefore, although Zhang Fu was there at that time, there was no change in the court, because for Zhu Qizhen, Zhang Fu would not listen even if he said it, and it was better to do less for the sake of the family interests.
And such a meritorious veteran did not die on the battlefield, but was indirectly killed by Zhu Qizhen, so he left in a nest.
