"Yue (Wang Yue) or Fulin Yunnei, or the general town of Guanxi. In the twelfth or thirteenth year of those who came and went on the side, the soldiers and the people were salty and beneficial; One hundred and ninety with the thieves, and the king of Rong was also killed. Ji Wulie, not reducing the Han Dynasty's Wei Huo (Wei Qing, Huo Quai); Essay matter, no shame of Fan Han of the Song Dynasty (Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi). - Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen
Wang Yue, whose name is Shichang, is a native of Jun County, Daimyofu (now Jun County, Henan). Wang Yueshao often felt that the two Song Dynasty were weak and died in a foreign race, but he studied military books hard, often practiced riding and shooting, and had the ambition to serve the country and make meritorious contributions. In the second year of Jingtai (1451), Wang Yue was appointed as the supervisor of Zhejiang Province to supervise the imperial history, entered the official career, and then successively served in various places, all of which had political voices. In the seventh year of Tianshun (1463), the imperial court took Wang Yue as the governor of Datong, Datong was an important town in the north of the Ming Empire, after Wang Yue arrived in Datong, he overhauled the war preparations, trained the border soldiers, and persuaded the farmers to teach the mulberry, so that the border situation in Datong improved rapidly. It was also because of Wang Yue's experience in Datong that he really came into contact with the military and achieved a perfect "cross-border".
In the first year of Chenghua (1465), Zhu Jianshen, the newly ascended Ming Xianzong, grasped and realized a more active defense policy. In February of the third year of Chenghua (1467), Zhu Yong, Marquis of Funing, conquered the Tatar Maoli children's department, Wang Yue was ordered to praise the military affairs, and then repelled the Tatar attacks in Datong and Xuanfu many times, and Zhu Jianshen let Wang Yue concurrently serve as the governor of Xuanfu. In the fifth year of Chenghua (1469), the Tatars invaded the Kouhetao, and Wang Yue led his troops to defeat the Tatar army in Yulin, which shocked the northwest. In the ninth year of Chenghua (1473), the Tatar Mandu Lu Khan, Polo Hu, and Ji Jiaslan led a large army into the Kou, and the troops drove directly to Qinzhou and stabilized. Wang Yue keenly found that the Tatar old nest of the Red Salt Pond (the hinterland of the Hetao grassland) was empty, so he led the Yansui chief military officer Xu Ning and the guerrilla general Zhou Yu to lead 4,600 elite cavalry to the left and right armies, from the Hong'er Mountain in Yulin, sneaking forward, running hundreds of miles long distance, killing more than 1,000 Tatar troops, seizing camels, horses, cattle and sheep without counting the equipment, recovering the Hetao grassland, forcing the Tatars to go away to the desert, and the first war moved the world.
After the Battle of Hongyanchi, Zhu Jianshen promoted Wang Yue to be the secretary of the military department, added the title of prince and Taibao, and set up a trilateral general system (Northwest Frontier Command) in Guyuan, and with Jiang Wan, the Marquis of Dingxi, as the general system, Wang Yue supervised military affairs, and controlled the general army of Yansui, Ningxia, and Gansu, and the governor and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops below. Soon after, Jiang Wan resigned, Wang Yue concurrently served as the trilateral general system, and supervised military affairs, and Wang Yue also became the highest military and political governor in the northwest of the Ming Empire, a proper "king of the northwest".
In the sixteenth year of Chenghua (1480), the Ming army detected that the Tatar Department Yisi Ma Yin was about to enter the Kou. In line with the principle of first strike to be stronger, Wang Yue and Wang Zhi selected 21,000 elites, and the troops went out of Gudian Pass (present-day northeast of Datong, Shanxi) to attack Yisimayin's old nest Weining Haizi (present-day Chaharnan, Zhenghuangqi, Inner Mongolia, and the place where Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong was imprisoned by the Wara people after the Tumubao Change). The Ming army broke the Tatar army, and Dayan Khan Batu Munk (the little prince) was only spared, and the first war washed away the national shame and haze of the Tumu Fort Change. Zhu Jianshen happily canonized Wang Yue as Fengtian Yiwei Tui Cheng Xuanli Shou Zhengwen Chen, Doctor Tejin Guanglu, Zhu Guo, Wei Ningbo, and ate 1,200 stone (according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, this was only the treatment that followed Zhu Di to participate in the Battle of Jingjing). In June of the eighteenth year of Chenghua (1482), the Tatars re-entered Kou Yansui and other places, and Wang Yue once again cooperated with Wang Zhi to defeat the Tatars in Yansui, so that the Tatars did not dare to go south for several years after that.
"It's a service, and it's the most won. …… However, there is no one who dares to repeat the offense, and the soldiers and civilians of Yansui are quite resting. ”
In the nineteenth year of Chenghua (1483), Wang Yue was removed from the title due to political struggles, and was assigned to live in Anlu. In the first year of Hongzhi (1488), Ming Xiaozong Zhu Youzhu ascended the throne and issued an edict to pardon Wang Yue's "sins", but he still did not let him take charge of the army. In the tenth year of Hongzhi (1497), Dayan Khan Batu Munk (the little prince) repeatedly entered Kouyansui, Ningxia, Gansu and other places, and the security situation in the northwest suddenly became tense. After Wang Yue took office, he strictly cultivated war preparations, trained soldiers, and pacified the locality, and the situation in the northwest was very good. In July of the eleventh year of Hongzhi (1498), Wang Yue organized the Ming army to recover Helan Mountain, which was occupied by the Tatars, and destroyed the "bridgehead" of the Tatars entering the interior of the Kou. In August, Wang Yue led an army to inspect Ganzhou (now Zhangye, Gansu), and canonized Hami Zhongshun Wang Shaanba, making the prestige of the Ming Dynasty spread far and wide in the Western Regions. In December of the same year, Wang Yue died in Ganzhou at the age of 73, and a generation of famous generals withdrew from the stage of history. After hearing the news, Zhu Youzhi of Ming Xiaozong issued an edict for Wang Yue to drop out of the dynasty for a day, and posthumously presented the Taifu, giving him the nickname "Xiangmin".
