Bloody Tumu Fort, Ming Yingzong and Wang Zhen

author:North and South Town Fusi

Teacher Wang Zhenwang in the mouth of Emperor Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen also had a title, that is, the first generation of eunuchs in the history of the Ming Dynasty who dared to challenge the highest power, and almost succeeded.

There is a lot of discussion about Teacher Wang Zhen in the society, saying that he was already a person who read poetry books as early as the Xuande years, but Wang Zhen was really not very mixed. In order to change his bleak life, the instructor Wang Zhen did not hesitate to wield a sword from the palace and resolutely applied for the position of a lieutenant in the inner court.

Grand Eunuch Wang Zhen

Due to the death rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, eunuchs were not allowed to read, so Wang Zhen, an intellectual who stood out from many illiterate eunuchs, was fortunately selected by Emperor Xuanzong and became a eunuch and close companion for the children of Prince Zhu Qizhen. Poor Wang Zhen's personal luck, in the future, he will have to pay a heavy price for the entire Ming Dynasty.

Then again, Teacher Wang is funny and humorous, has a good temperament, can handle allusions and gossip, and the relationship between teachers and students is very harmonious. So many years later, the children of Zhu Qizhen, who have recovered a life, are still unforgettable when they think of that time, so he still misses his most trusted teacher Wang.

Ming Yingzong Zhuqi Town

Generally speaking, the two landmark events of Ming Yingzong's ascension to the throne and the death of his grandmother, Empress Zhang, were key factors in Wang Zhen's rise from an ordinary eunuch to a pivotal figure in the Ming Empire.

In 1435, the tenth year of Xuande, The 9-year-old Ming Yingzong ascended the throne. The lord is less suspicious of the country, and the immature Zhu Qizhen has long lived in the deep palace, growing up in the hands of women, and completely lacks the great talent and political and military experience of his father and ancestor.

Empress Dowager Zhang

In 1442, the seventh-year-old grandmother of the orthodox emperor, Empress Zhang, died, and the "Three Yangs", who had been presiding over the cabinet since the Renxuan era, also left in old age, leaving behind a management team that was far away from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

For Teacher Wang Zhen, this is the perfect time to operate, the stage is big enough, all the stumbling blocks and resistance, God has helped him clean up, although Wang Zhen himself does not have much experience in governing the country.

Jinyi Wei

Such a heavenly opportunity, the later Liu Jin will not let go, Wei Zhongxian will not let go, why should he let it go?! He wang zhenshi came and went, ambitious to become the most powerful eunuch in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Before August 15, 14th of the orthodox year, everything was as Teacher Wang expected, all like flowers and dreams, and the splendid rivers and mountains seemed to be infinitely close to him according to his requirements, and once held in his hands. Even the young orthodox emperor had a very strange detour to Weizhou during the Northern Expedition of Laoshi to help his beloved teacher Wang achieve his lifelong wish of returning to his hometown.

Three Yangs: Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu

But I didn't expect to be trapped in the Tumu Fort in the blink of an eye, the Taishi British Gong Zhang Fu has been more than 7 years old, Zhu Qizhen basically does not let him participate in the military aircraft, just with the driver to install the façade, even the consultant can not turn. Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and Jingyuan, the Duke of Cheng, were all directly promoted by Wang Zhen, and Erti was ordered to drink.

Teacher Wang's life and his vanity have finally reached the peak of epilepsy. Secretly, at this moment, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen also reached the "madness" of life.

Royal Conquest

What happened next is known to the whole world. A rash military operation buried almost half of the Ming Dynasty's national strength. What was lost was not only the elite of the three major Beijing camps, but also the vitality of the Ming Dynasty and the spirit of being active and enterprising.

For the twenty-three-year-old Zhu Qizhen child, perhaps it was just a thrilling moment in his career, and if he died because of this, he would be greeted with the supreme honor of the Son of Heaven to guard the gate of the country.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhu did not show the same hatred and the iron-blooded emperor's side, but instead broke through hopelessly, got off his horse and sat on the ground. Is it a Valar who wants to display the talents learned from Teacher Wang, and the tricks are stupid and cute?

The two armies are pitted against each other

Non-also, the young emperor who was born with a calf was instigated. Yuan Bin, the former Jinyi guard, was loyal to the lord, and when he saw the bear-like appearance of the master he was desperately protecting, he almost left in anger, but thanks to the persuasion of his equally loyal colleague Yang Mingli, he achieved a good story of "the commander of the Jinyi guard and the Yingzong Northern Hunting Period during the period of not abandoning".

However, our teacher Wang Zhenwang was not so lucky. Whether he was beaten to death or hacked to death with a knife, it was reasonable. But the most comical thing is the saying of "suicide and martyrdom", which comes from an essay by his beloved disciple Zhu Qizhen after he ascended the throne for the second time in the change of the door - "Missing Teacher Wang Zhen of Yuan", you can find out the product, careful product.

Ruins of the Earth Fort

It is said that Tumu Fort is a conspiracy of the civil official clique, but the civilian officials who died in Tumu Fort, such as Wang Zuo, Kuang Wei, Cao Nai, etc., are more than fifty people, obviously more than the YuanXun generals, which seems a bit unscientific. A serious conspiracy theory is often the most irrational.

Such a tragic accident obviously had to be borne by Emperor Zhu Qizhen. The so-called person in the great position, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility; those who are not able to do so, such as the Era of Renxuan, the cabinet and the monarchy co-rule, the way to keep the success.

Battle of Fort Tumu

As for Teacher Wang Zhen, the main responsibility cannot be turned, but the secondary responsibility cannot be escaped. I don't know that in the eighth year of Tianshun, the once-young Zhu Qizhen who will end his life for the rest of his life, people will die and their words are good, will they think of the scene of the change of Tumu Fort, and repent for their own willfulness and stupidity?
