Ming Yingzong Zhuqi Town, the change of Tumu Fort, why can he come back alive

The change of Tumu Fort was a huge turning point in the life of Emperor Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, and in the autumn of the fourteenth year of the Ming Dynasty's orthodoxy, because of the tribute negotiations with the chief of the Wallachians, ye Xian, he also led troops to invade Daming first, and the young and vigorous Ming Yingzong Zhu QiZhen marched at the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen.

At that time, the ming dynasty's large army was on the defensive, and could only cobble together 200,000 people from the outskirts of the east, claiming to be a 500,000 army, and conquest of Wallachia was also the first. The ministers of the DPRK and the CENTRAL Government vigorously opposed the imperial conquest of Zhu Qizhen, who had no experience in fighting wars, and the army was all pieced together and had no combat effectiveness. When the army went out, it encountered bad weather, difficulty in marching, and unstable in the army, at this time Zhu Qizhen had the intention of retreating, and the general accompanied him suggested withdrawing. If Zhu Qizhen could heed the advice, he might not have been captured. However, he listened to the advice of the eunuch Wang Zhen and detoured to Wang Zhen's hometown of Weizhou, wang Zhen felt that Weizhou was his hometown, and the emperor and himself returned to their hometown and could honor the ancestors. The courtiers tried to persuade each other, but Zhu Qizhen did not listen to it, and was eventually trapped in Tumu Fort by the Yexian army.

After Zhu Qizhen became a prisoner, he did not know whether to kill or stay. His younger brother Boyan Timur suggested that he be held hostage in order to claim benefits from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was civil strife in Vala, and the Great Khan had been dissatisfied with the fact that he had too much power, and in order to leave a way back for himself, he did not want to make too stiff relations with the Ming Dynasty, so he left Zhu Qizhen behind.

After the defense of Beijing was first defeated by Yu Qian, Zhu Qiyu and others, his brilliant dream of restoring the rule of the Yuan Dynasty was shattered. If used properly, it can create great trouble for the Ming Dynasty, and even eliminate those enemies who defeated themselves. It was also clear that holding Zhu Qizhen in his own hands was no longer worth using. Therefore, it was decided to release the captive emperor unconditionally.

After Zhu Qizhen returned, Zhu Qiyu locked him up for 7 years. In the eighth year of Jingtai, when Zhu Qiyu was seriously ill, the chancellor Xu Youzhen cooperated with Shi Heng and others to release Zhu Qizhen, and instantly seized the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

For such an emperor, many people think that he is a good person, because he abolished the martyrdom system of the Ming Dynasty and released the descendants of Emperor Jianwen, so he was called Yingzong. However, he caused great harm to the Ming Dynasty, and more than 200,000 officers and soldiers died because of him, and the Ming Dynasty fell, laying the fuse from the beginning of ming Zhuqi town.
