After Ming Yingzong took up his post for the second time, what did the emperor do? If Zhu Qizhen had no experience as emperor for the first time, he was invited by the Warat people to study in Mongolia for several years. After the change of seizing the door, Zhu Qizhen, who ascended the throne for the second time, grew up, and the civil and military began to pull their hips at the same time.
He first expanded the farm on a large scale to collect wealth for his three sons. However, whether it is maintenance or management, the actual operation of these farms is completed by the eunuchs. So these eunuchs took the opportunity to forcibly occupy a large number of people's fields, and often made a mess around the capital.
However, the emperor who ascended the throne for the second time is also becoming more and more extravagant in life. In order to collect money for himself, eunuchs were sent everywhere to mine. After these eunuchs arrived at the place, they also relied on Ming Yingzong's wanton exploitation. It can be said that in internal affairs, this emperor's swordsmanship is not at all brilliant.
And in military crotch pulling, it is even more terrible. From the early days of Tianshun, the Mongol Tatars often attacked the Hetao region. Zhu Qizhen also knew active defense at the beginning. But the record of this counterattack is really a little embarrassing compared to the Ming Dynasty battle situation before his father's generation. After five years of Tianshun, both sides were annoyed. The Tatars demanded tribute in exchange for a piece of land in the Loop. This kind of behavior is obviously taking advantage of the advantages and having bad intentions, but it was agreed to by Ming Yingzong.
As soon as he agreed, a large number of Tatars poured into the Loop. The Ming Dynasty's control here was also rapidly weakened. Not only Mongolia, but also the Jurchens in the northeast also had problems during the Ming Yingzong period. Because Zhu Qizhen agreed to open the horse market to the northeast, Dong Shan, the chief of the Jianzhou Jurchens, developed. He often made trouble at the border. Ming Yingzong turned a blind eye to this.
The result of these operations in the later period of Ming Yingzong was that after his death, he left a very terrible hidden danger for his son. Because of the connivance of eunuchs and civil officials, the social contradictions in the later period of the Ming Dynasty were already very serious. As soon as Ming Yingzong died, the famous Jingxiang Wanderer Uprising broke out, which made the Huguang area unstoppable. It took nearly seven years for Emperor Chenghua to gradually calm down.
The hidden dangers in the military are even more terrifying. Because the Hetao area was occupied by the Mongols, it was never recovered until the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The Jurchens in the Northeast made trouble for a long time, and finally had to let Ming Xianzong launch the Battle of Dinghai, which is what many people call the Chenghua Plough Court.
After such a comparison, we will feel that after Zhu Qizhen took up his post for the second time, he was even inferior to Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou. After all, although Zhao Gou was a soft bone back then, he at least made great achievements in stabilizing the political achievements of the south. In the wake of the civil revolt in the south, Zhao insisted on ordering tenant farmers in the Dongting Lake area to be allowed to cultivate their own fields, with tax exemption for three years.
As for the administrative team, after the change of seizing the door, the first thing Zhu Qizhen did was to eliminate all the core officials of the Ming Dynasty. According to the record of "Ming Yingzong Record", in the first year of Tianshun after the Yuan reform, Zhu Qizhen first killed Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, Wang Wen, the secretary of the ministry, Wang Cheng, the eunuch of the ceremonial department, and a large number of other officials. almost turned the core layer of the imperial court upside down at that time.
However, after Zhu Qizhen finished cleaning, not only did he not let the Ming Dynasty operate normally, but because the behavior of Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang who he reused was too bad, the court at that time was instantly smoky. The most ironic thing is that the eunuch Wang Zhen, the culprit who killed so many Ming troops, was listed as a martyr by Zhu Qizhen during the Tianshun period. As for the young and middle-aged people who died tragically in Tumu Fort, Ming Yingzong turned a deaf ear to them. After all, in the eyes of the emperor, these are irrelevant.
Many people feel that Ming Yingzong abolished human martyrdom, so he was a good emperor. But such a good emperor connived at his subordinates to do evil. And then these people just take advantage of the situation and toss around. So in any case, what Mingzong did these two times was not qualified.
