Zhu Di was very surprised.
Who said that the emperors of the Zhu family would take action on their own family members? If you don’t believe it, look at Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu, what a harmonious pair of good brothers!
His intimacy with his two great-grandsons Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu soared.
[In the 14th year of Zhengtong, the northern Mongolian Oara invaded the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Under the instigation of the eunuch Wang Zhen, the Zhengtong Emperor Zhu Qizhen decided to personally conquer the country. Before leaving, he ordered you to supervise the country. 】
Zhu Di's face changed slightly when he saw this.
What did the emperor think about letting the prince supervise the country?
Zhu Di seemed to have seen a scene of the Ming Dynasty's crisis: Zhu Qiyu, who was ordered to supervise the country, tasted the taste of power and wanted to usurp the throne. Taking advantage of the power of supervising the country given to him by Zhu Qizhen, he took the opportunity to plot to usurp the throne, shut out the emperor from the country, and became the emperor himself...
This was what Zhu Di thought was the crisis of the Ming Dynasty.
He never thought about whether the crisis in the Ming Dynasty in the prophecy would be the defeat of the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen, and then the Ming Dynasty would be invaded by aliens.
Because... the Ming Dynasty was too powerful at this time.
Yongle, Hongxi, and Xuande were the emperors of the Ming Dynasty for three consecutive dynasties, especially the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mobei. They beat the brains of all the grassland people into dog brains and were simply vulnerable. How could the Ming army be defeated when they went on an expedition?
So he naturally attributed the origin of the Ming Dynasty's crisis to Zhu Qiyu.
After all... Zhu Qiyu's status as emperor is too eye-catching.
Zhu Qiyu is just the illegitimate son of Emperor Xuande, and he should not be the one to ascend the throne no matter what!
[You are so grateful that you must take care of your brother's home. When your brother comes back in triumph, he will return it to Zhao intact. As for stealing the country and usurping the throne, you have never thought about it. The emperor's brother is so kind to you, how can you live up to his expectations? 】
[At this time, neither you nor the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen realized that the Ming Dynasty was about to change! 】
[On August 15, the 14th year of the Zhengtong year, the Tumubao Incident broke out. The Zhengtong Emperor Zhu Qizhen was defeated and captured, defeating the aggressive Ola of the Ming Dynasty. 】
[The changes in Tumu Fort consumed all the capital saved during the prosperous times of the Yongle, Hongxi, and Xuande dynasties. Countless romantic figures withered away with the wind and rain. 】
[A list of those killed in battle was sent to the capital, including British Duke Zhang Fu, Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong, Fengning Marquis Chen Ying, Prince Consort Jingyuan, Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai, Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhen, Sui'an Bo Chen Xun, martial arts uncle Shen Rong, guard general Fan Zhong, governor Liang Cheng and Wang Gui, household minister Wang Zuo, military minister Kuang Ye, bachelor Cao Nai Zhang Yi, minister Dingxuan Wang Yonghe, deputy censor Deng Qi... In addition to this In addition, the Ming Dynasty's 500,000 elite troops were also completely wiped out. 】
[The news reached the capital the next night, and the government and the public were shocked for a while, because no one thought that the Ming Dynasty would actually lose to Oara. Everyone in the capital is in danger, some wealthy households are even preparing to transfer their property, and some ministers are also sending their children to Jinling. 】
Zhu Di: "?"
Is he dazzled?
The list of those killed in battle made his scalp numb.
Zhu Di is now very convinced of one thing: Zhu Qizhen is an undercover agent sent to Ming Dynasty by Wala.
How did this battle happen? ! !
The imperial commander went on a personal expedition, and he also brought along the ministers and the scholar's civil servants. He thought he was going on an outing!
Five hundred thousand Ming Dynasty elites went to attack a small Oala. Can the entire army be wiped out?
Along with this, the emperor was captured, and the Ming Dynasty's heritage was wiped out?
Zhu Di couldn't figure out how he lost this battle.
Even if this Zhu Qizhen is a useless snack, and the imperial commander does nothing during the expedition, lying in the old camp drinking and enjoying himself every day, and letting the army wander around, it is impossible to lose this battle!
Even though the British Duke Zhang Fu was already a seventy-five-year-old veteran, there was still the Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong!
Either of these two people can command the Ming Dynasty's 500,000 elites, and they can beat him until he cries for his father and mother, and surrenders to the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Di was so angry that his liver hurt and his head was buzzing!
[Faced with the crisis situation, disputes broke out in the Ming Dynasty over whether to "war" or "relocate". 】
[In August of the 14th year of Zhengtong, Empress Dowager Sun suppressed the battle, and you, the supervisor of the country, chaired an imperial meeting to discuss countermeasures. 】
[First of all, it was Xu Youzhen, an attendant of the Hanlin Academy, who first proposed moving the capital to Jinling to avoid swordsmen based on changes in celestial phenomena. The "southern migration" plan was supported by some ministers. However, Yu Qian, the left minister of the Ministry of War, immediately rejected the proposal, thinking that the imperial mausoleum, ancestral temple, and state affairs were all in Beijing, so how could they be easily moved. Moreover, we must take the Northern Song Dynasty as a lesson and accuse the southward migration of being a country that will be destroyed. 】
[At Yu Qian's request, you ordered to prepare troops from Beijing and Henan, prepare Japanese troops along the coast of Shandong and Jinling, and transport grain troops from various prefectures in the north and north of Zhili. They urgently went to the capital. The people in the capital felt at ease, and then Yu Qian was promoted to Minister of War. 】
[On August 28, the 14th year of Zhengtong, Wang Wen, the censor of Zuodu, wrote a letter, hoping that you would attach great importance to the country and the country and inherit the great unification. The Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen was only two years old. In order to avoid the suspicion of being the master of the young country, Yu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and other ministers jointly reported to the Empress Dowager. Finally, on the 6th of September, you were proclaimed emperor, with the reign name Jingtai, Yaozun. The orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen, who was captured by Wala, became the supreme emperor. 】
Zhu Di's expression softened slightly, but he was still gloomy.
This Yu Qian is a talented person, and he knows that moving south will lead to the destruction of the country.
The lessons of the weak Song Dynasty are clear to our eyes. If we give up the north, the country will perish!
But in times of crisis, they were able to make up their mind to cut through the mess quickly, summoning the Ming Dynasty's troops in the north and along the Yangtze River to defend the capital, and supported Zhu Qiyu as emperor to stabilize the hearts of the capital.
With the Ming Dynasty's peak national power, even if half a million elite troops were wiped out, if time could be delayed to gather troops from all over the country, they would still be able to fight.
Zhu Di was a little depressed. Five hundred thousand elites went to conquer Oala. This was like a general bullying an ignorant child. In the end, Zhu Qi's entire army was annihilated. Now it's "the Ming Dynasty is still capable of fighting"? !
[After you ascend the throne, you will issue an edict that the border guards will not listen to Wala's excuses, which made Wala's attempt to use the name of the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen to defraud property and open doors failed. Wala was furious and sent troops to attack Beijing. You appoint Yu Qian and others to organize the defense of the capital, clean up the interior, mobilize heavy troops, and stabilize people's hearts. 】
[Admiral Yu Qian, Secretary of the Ministry of War, supervised the troops and horses of each battalion, and the leader of Wala also took the Supreme Emperor hostage and broke through the Zijin Pass to get a glimpse of the capital. 】
[Yu Qian dispatched his generals to lead 220,000 soldiers and set up formations outside the nine gates: Commander Tao Jin at Anding Gate, Guangning Bo Liu Andong at Dongzhi Gate, Wujin Bo Zhu Ying at Chaoyang Gate, Commander Liu Ju at Xizhi Gate, and Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Xingzu At the Fucheng Gate, Li Duan was commanded by the Zhengyang Gate, and the governor Liu Dexin at the Chongwen Gate was commanded by Tanglu Xuancheng Gate. Yu Qian himself and Shi Heng led the deputy commanders Fan Guang and Wuxing to form a formation outside the Desheng Gate to resist first. . He handed over the affairs of the Ministry of War to his assistant Wu Ning, closed all the city gates, and personally supervised the battle. 】
[Yu Qian gave an order: If a general retreats before the battle regardless of his troops, he will be beheaded. The sergeant ignored the leader and retreated, and the rear team killed the front team. 】
[You must defend the capital and never give in, even if it fails, the Ming Dynasty will follow the footsteps of the weak Song Dynasty. 】
[How can the great Ming Dynasty show weakness to foreign races! 】
[You have been looked down upon by everyone since you were a child and have a weak personality, but this time you are uncharacteristically tough. You would rather become the king of a subjugated country than surrender your country to a foreign race! 】
"Okay!" Zhu Di was in a good mood, "This is my Zhu family!"
I would rather die in battle and lose my country than surrender my country!
Zhu Di couldn't help but think of Liu Chen, the king of the North during the Three Kingdoms period, who would rather die than surrender!
He admires Zhu Qiyu very much, his great-grandson, who was born to the same father. Look at Zhu Qiyu’s integrity, and look at your bastard Zhu Qizhen’s disgrace!
