From the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it was accompanied by various strange things, such as the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang did not pass the throne to his son, but directly passed it to his grandson Emperor Jianwen, which made Zhu Di, who originally only wanted to be the King of Yan, express his disobedience. Therefore, after Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne and became emperor, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the Battle of Jingnan in the name of "Qing Junfang", and in the fourth year of Jianwen, King Yan led an army to attack the capital Yingtian, resulting in Emperor Jianwen's life and death being unpredictable and his whereabouts unknown. Zhu Di, the King of Yan, immediately proclaimed himself emperor and was the Yongle Emperor. The uncle took the throne from his nephew, and so did the strange things. There was also a strange man, who was the eldest son of Zhu Zhanji, the fifth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, who later became Ming Yingzong. Ming Ying Zongqi was surprised that everyone else was an emperor for one term, but he had been an emperor for two terms, namely the sixth and eighth emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and there was a gap between them. Because the middle one was his half-brother, Emperor Zhu Qiyu of the Ming Dynasty, which was also a rare thing in Chinese history. But why do people call Ming Yingzong the "God of War"? This is related to the "civil change" that occurred later--the young and vigorous Emperor Yingzong, at the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen, led 250,000 soldiers and horses from the east to attack the northern Wallachians, and the ministers were afraid before the war began. So he hurriedly moved his division back to the dynasty, and when the army marched to Tumu Fort, he was besieged by the Wala army, with heavy casualties, and even Yingzong himself was captured by the Wala people. Therefore, people gave Zhu Qizhen an ironic nickname - the God of War of Daming.
Only four months after Emperor Mingying's birth, Zhu Qizhen was crowned crown prince by Emperor Xuanzong, and in the 10th year of Xuande, Emperor Xuanzong zhu Zhanji died, and Zhu Qizhen, who was only nine years old, ascended the throne as emperor. Because Emperor Yingzong was too young at that time, the ministers asked the empress dowager to bow the curtain to listen to the government, but the empress dowager Zhang Shi did not allow it, she also refused to appoint her own family, and even more resolutely opposed the interference of foreign relatives in politics, which can be said to be a more far-sighted and virtuous empress dowager. Even so, the real power at that time was still in her hands, after all, the emperor was young, and many ministers still had to report to her and listen to her opinions and decisions. The empress dowager selected xianchen to assist Emperor Yingzong, such as: Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, who were known as the "Three Yangs" in history, Yang Shiqi had Xiangcai, Yang Rong had Xiangye, and Yang Pu had Xiangdu. After the empress dowager ordered them to serve as assistant ministers to the cabinet, from then on, the Border Defense of Daming was stable, the imperial court was in order, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the Ming Dynasty presented a thriving scene. However, the iron had to be hard itself, and the good times did not last long, and with the successive deaths of the empress dowager and the "Three Yangs", there was a serious lack of success among the virtuous and loyal subjects of the imperial court. As the saying goes, "Without loyalty, there will be adultery", and sure enough, the eunuch Wang Zhen, who had been favored by Emperor Yingzong, began to walk to the front of the stage, making the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty that had not been easy to appear like a flash in the pan, and then fell into another abyss. Although Emperor Yingzong was full of enthusiasm and ambition, how could he be close to the traitors and villains and appoint flattering people, so how could he establish the country and make Daming prosperous?
Moreover, since Emperor Yuanshun was driven to the north of the desert by The Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, Mongolia split into two major tribes, namely the Wa La and the Tatars. In order to completely solve the hidden dangers in the north, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di deliberately sent the capital from Yingtian to Yanjing, and personally conquered the desert north five times before and after, dealing a heavy blow to the Tatar department of "Arutai". Later, the Mongol Wallachians rose, and the leader of the Wallachians killed the Tatar leader Arutai. After The Death of Dehuan, his son "Ye Xian" became the head of the Wallachian tribe again, and unified the various tribes of the Mongolian steppe, once again forming a minority force that could compete with the Central Plains Dynasty. In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, that is, in the spring of 1449 AD, the leader of the Walla tribe "Ye Xian" led a four-way army to the south to attack the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Yingzong had originally been unable to tolerate the southward migration of the Walla people, not to mention that the people took the initiative to set foot on the territory of Daming to engage in aggression. Emperors have a common problem, that is, they allow themselves not to be more promising than the kings of the previous life, but they must not psychologically accept that they are more incompetent than the kings of the previous lives. This is also determined by the cultural habits of Chinese, and who wants to admit that they are "losers"? The fact that Walla was driven to the north of the desert was the painstaking efforts and credit of the previous emperors, and how could he zhuqi town watch the Wala people move from the north of the desert to the south of the desert and become a hidden danger that threatened the national security of Daming? In the afternoon of June 30, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qi held a late dynasty at Zuoshun Gate in Yanjing, and hurriedly ordered Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to lead Pingxiang Bochen Huai and Tuoma Du Wei Jingyuan to lead 45,000 men and horses to Xuanfu and Datong respectively to strengthen border defenses and block the invading enemy. Subsequently, Emperor Yingzong summoned his ministers inside the Forbidden City to discuss countermeasures to break the enemy. The eunuch Wang Zhen, who was favored by Emperor Yingzong's Zhu Qizhen, seemed to see through Emperor Yingzong's thoughts, so he instigated Emperor Yingzong to march in person. Emperor Yingzong thought it was relatively simple at that time, because after all, he had never gone on a campaign, and he always thought that the imperial conquest was not much different from the military parade, and anyway, he did not need to personally go into battle to kill the enemy, and once he defeated the enemy, then he could be compared with Emperor Taizu Hongwu and Emperor Chengzu Yongle. Thinking of this, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was full of expectations and confidence in the imperial conquest. So Emperor Yingzong led 250,000 soldiers and horses from the east to the west to set out from Beijing to fight the Wala people to the death.
After marching for eight days, the army arrived at Xuanfu, but the result was that the heavens were not beautiful, and suddenly the wind was fierce, and the rain was continuous, and the ministers of culture and military affairs who followed Emperor Yingzong's personal conquest advised Emperor Yingzong to camp in Xuanfu first, and then go to Datong after the wind and rain. Emperor Yingzong felt that they were afraid of the enemy and was furious, so he ordered the eunuch Wang Zhen to take the officials who "obstructed" the advance of the army to the military camp and let them line up with the soldiers. From then on, no one dared to dissuade him in front of Emperor Yingzong. When the army reached Jiming Mountain, the closer to the front line, the more serious the fear of the enemy in the army. In order to rectify the cowardice of the ministers, Emperor Yingzong let Wang Zhen deliberately insult the courtiers in order to relieve his anger. The front line was in a hurry, and Peng Deqing, a confidant of Wang Zhen's side, said to him, "The enemy is coming fiercely, and we must not dare to venture forward again, and once the emperor is captured by them, then we will die and die." Wang Zhen also felt some worry and fear at this time, but he knew Yingzong's temper, he was young and competitive, he dreamed of establishing military merit compared with his ancestors, and he asked him to go back before he fought with the enemy, and he would never agree. Moreover, the imperial conquest was still instigated by wang zhen, and at this time he persuaded Yingzong to return to the dynasty, only afraid that Yingzong would not let him go. It is indeed strange to say that when Yingzong led a large army to Datong, the Tatar army of "Ye Xian" actually retreated to the desert. At this time, Datong also had a weather situation similar to that of Xuanfu, and it was windy and rainy, accompanied by lightning and thunder. Guo Jing, the eunuch of Datong Town, secretly told Wang Zhen that if the army continued to advance, it would be ambushed by the enemy, and once the emperor really had an accident, everyone's glory and prosperity would be gone. After hearing this, Wang Zhen felt that it was very reasonable, and after weighing it up again, he went to persuade Emperor Yingzong: "Previously, in Xuanfu, the weather was abnormal, and now in Datong, this kind of celestial phenomenon has appeared again, I am afraid that this is a sign of heaven, and we are advised to go back." Emperor Yingzong was a little surprised, and Wang Zhen continued, "It is not that Your Majesty is not a divine martial artist, nor is it that our army is afraid, but that there is indeed a clear edict in heaven, and it has to be obeyed." Emperor Yingzong was eventually persuaded by Wang Zhen and promised Banshi to return to the dynasty.
The leader of the Wallachians, "Ye Xian", was very excited when he heard that the Ming Emperor was personally marching, so he withdrew the army attacking Datong to Saiwai and laid out a good net of heaven and earth to wait for Ming Yingzong, but Emperor Yingzong ignored him. This disappointed him a little, and then adjusted the direction of the battle in time. On the way back to the dynasty, Emperor Yingzong also led his troops to attack Datong and Xuanfu. After receiving the news, Emperor Mingyingzong immediately sent Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, and Xue Shuo, yongshun Bo, to lead 40,000 elite troops to meet the enemy. After the army entered Harrier Ridge, it was suddenly attacked by the Wallachian army that had already set up an ambush here, and the 40,000 elite Ming Dynasty troops were completely destroyed, and the main generals Zhu Yong and Xue Shou were both killed. It was only then that Emperor Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen seemed to realize that "pro-conscription" was not a military parade, but a fight between you and me. On August 14, the remaining more than 100,000 Ming troops retreated to Tumu Fort, and the army was scattered and had no fighting spirit. In the evening, the Wala army attacked the Mayu Pass north of Tumu Fort overnight, and the Ming army resisted desperately for a while, and finally lost the battle. Seeing that the army was in a desperate situation, the general Fan Zhong, who was responsible for protecting Yingzong, killed Wang Zhen in a fit of rage. The next day, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the Ming army was completely destroyed, and the town of Yingzong Zhuqi was captured by the Wallachian army. When the news of Yingzong's capture by Wallachia reached the capital, the government and the public were shocked. After all, the Wala people were barbarian people, and if Yingzong was captured by them, he would definitely die nine times. The country could not be left without a master for a day, and with the support of Yu Qian and other ministers, Emperor Yingzong's half-brother Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne and became emperor, and in the following year changed the yuan to "Jingtai" to be Emperor Ming, and "Yao zun" Emperor Mingyingzong Zhu Qizhen as Emperor Taishang. Emperor Mingying's Zhuqi town was captured by the Walas and taken to the Mongolian steppes, and he did not know whether to kill or stay. At this time, Ye Xian's younger brother Boyan Timur proposed that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a treasure and must leave him behind to bargain with the Ming Dynasty and ask them for all the property. So Emperor Yingzong saved his life in this way. However, what Ling did not expect was that when he opened his mouth to the Ming Dynasty and proposed that he could exchange his belongings for Zhu Qi Town, the Ming People actually ignored it. Annoyed and angry, Yi Xian immediately led his troops into the Ming capital Beijing, and Emperor Jingtai of the Ming Dynasty ordered Yu Qian to lead his troops to resist, and finally defeated Ye Xian and drove him back to the desert grassland.
Seeing that the town of Zhu Qi was not much use in keeping Emperor Ming Yingzong, the Wala people were repeatedly defeated by the Ming army led by Yu Qian, so they sent people to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty. So Emperor Jingtai sent Yang Shan and others to investigate, who knew that Yang Shan took the opportunity to welcome back Zhu Qizhen, who had been detained in northern Saibei for a year. Fifteen days later, Emperor Yingzong returned to the capital and was imprisoned in the palace by Emperor Jingtai for seven years. Seven years later, Emperor Ming died, and Zhu Qizhen returned to the throne through the "change of seizing the door". Twice ascended the throne in his lifetime, he tried hard to rule how to meet people who are not ladylike, dream of martial arts but have no strength, can not talk about wisdom, not faint, this is the double emperor in the eyes of netizens, "a generation of war gods" - Zhu Qizhen!
