In the fourteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen led the elite imperial conquest of the whole country, but he was also captured at Tumu Fort and became the captive emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The best way to treat captives is to imprison and snipe. However, he did not do this first, and still ate and drank well to serve him, and finally let him return to the Ming Dynasty, didn't he want to kill Zhu Qizhen first?
If the captive this time was the emperor of a small country, he might not think about it at first, and directly chop up Zhu Qizhen, but he captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it was Daming who experienced the prosperity of Yongle and Renxuan, and at this time, the Ming Dynasty was strong and strong, and he also wanted to kill first, but he did not dare. Why didn't he dare, today we will analyze why he did not dare to kill Zhu Qizhen, and why he let Zhu Qizhen go back.
After the tumubao change, the Ming court was in an uproar, which was the biggest war defeat since the founding of the country, and they lost not only hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, but also their supreme emperor. Daming's morale was suddenly at a low point, and at this time, there were two voices in the DPRK, one was to move the capital to take refuge, and the other was to advocate a decisive battle with Wa La, and would never back down.
As for the reasons for not daring to kill Zhu Qi Town, the following will be discussed, here is the first to talk about how they are going to use It when they keep Zhu Qi Town.
With meat tickets in hand, ask for a ransom. After Empress Daming Qian learned that her husband was kidnapped, she sent a ransom at the first time, of course, this little money is not nothing for the first time, and this is not his purpose. But first of all, he did not refuse, he first accepted the money sent by the Empress Qian, thinking that Daming would continue to send money later, after all, the emperor was in his hands.
Using Zhu Qizhen as a stepping stone, he tried to lay down Datong and Xuanfu. Also first with Zhu Qi town clearly after daming, Xuanfu called the door did not open, why did not attack first, to lay down these two military towns, this is actually a cost problem, fighting a war is to spend money, spend resources. After five northern expeditions in Yongle, after more than 20 years of cultivation, Vala has become a hegemon of the steppe, but not all of these territories have obeyed him.
Daming's mindset
After Zhu Qizhen was captured, Empress Sun and Yu Qian quickly chose to make Zhu Qiyu emperor and make Zhu Qizhen the emperor, a move that appeared to be abandonment, but in fact it was a key step in saving Zhu Qizhen.
First of all: Zhu Qizhen is not an emperor, and for Vala, he has lost value, but also Vala does not dare to kill him, because killing Zhu Qizhen is to openly make enemies of Daming. Although Wala won at Tumu Fort, the Ming Dynasty was still in Jiangshan, and in addition to the army wrapped in dumplings at Tumu Fort, there were other garrisons that could be mobilized, so for the Ming Dynasty, it was not a loss, and Wala did not have an absolute advantage.
Wallachian mentality
The capture of Zhu Qi Town by Vala was also a hot potato for them, so why did they say that?
First of all: Wala does not have the strength to fight with Daming, or Wala does not have an overwhelming advantage over the Ming Dynasty, and easily kills the former emperor of the Ming Dynasty, that is, openly becoming an enemy.
At this time, he was the taishi of The First, and he was the Great Khan of the Wallachians, although the real power was in the hands of the First. But if you also committed suicide in Zhu QiZhen first, then this pot is definitely not back, the Ming Dynasty is accountable, just handed over to Daming to deal with, but it helps to get rid of the flower, and at this time, the flower is also secretly in contact with the Ming Dynasty, trying to make peace, in terms of strength, the sum of the strength of the people who take off and Agadorji is equal in strength.
Secondly, although the Wallachians have cleaned up the small khanates on the steppe, such as Wuliangha and Hami, although they are the vassal states of the Wara, they have no loyalty, and once Daming and He also go to war first, these small countries can take advantage of the situation at any time to attack back and forth, and the last thing that is finished may be the first.
Therefore, it is really difficult to deal with Zhu Qizhen first, do not dare to kill him, do not abuse him, and have to raise him, which is a loss-making business. And if Zhu Qizhen is let go back, it will definitely be good for Vala.
How the Tumu Fort was fought, the initial contradiction was the issue of tribute, which was one of the reasons why Vala did not dare to move Zhuqi Town. After all, the information on the grassland is limited, and if there is no tributary relationship, the most uncomfortable thing is actually the grassland people. Therefore, When Wa Lai put Zhu Qi Town back, he also hoped to continue to establish tributary relations.
In addition to this layer, Vala also has a mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
After all, a mountain does not allow two tigers, at this time the master of the Ming Dynasty has been replaced by Zhu Qiyu, and Zhu Qizhen will certainly not be able to become an emperor when he goes back, so letting Zhu Qizhen go back must be a good play of brotherly infighting. But what he did not expect was that Zhu Qizhen was directly imprisoned as soon as he returned, and the drama of infighting was not seen at first, but instead staged a big drama of infighting in Vala himself.
Therefore, many books say that Zhu Qizhen was not killed because he could speak well, he was a natural diplomat, he saved himself with his own strength, but in fact, the whole incident was put strategically, even if Zhu Qizhen did not say a word, he did not die, the state of the two sides had already determined the outcome, although Vala won the Battle of Tumu Fort, but strategically Wala has been in a passive state. I also thought about whether to kill Zhu Qizhen first, I think he thought, but he didn't dare.
