This war was called the "Great Victory of Huailai" in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
In this battle, the Wala army captured more than 30,000 people, and the Ming army obtained more than 30,000 heads, tens of thousands of horses, and countless swords, armors, etc.
Ye Xian was not only severely damaged, he had already lost all his money.
The main force of Oara was completely wiped out in this battle, and all the young men of the generation were buried outside Huailai City. After this battle, the Oara army was afraid when they heard the name of the Ming army, and they all said that the Ming people would help them.
When Alazhiyuan learned that the troops entering the customs were defeated, he immediately led his troops back and tried to compete with Ye Xian for the position of the leader of Wala.
Suddenly, the grassland fell into chaos.
However, there are also benefits. The governors of Jizu Prefecture, seeing that Wala was getting stronger and that the Ming Dynasty could not do anything about them, were a little ready to take action.
Fortunately, the battle in Huailai directly interrupted the layer of Wala. The power of the Ming Dynasty shocked the entire grassland and directly gave up their thoughts.
When the Ming army gathered troops to enter Eastern Mongolia to rectify Jisu, they cooperated very well, and Jisu was re-established smoothly.
And the Ming Dynasty was not at peace after the war ended.
After Zhu Qizhen returned to Beijing, he held a grand ceremony in the southern suburbs to worship heaven and earth. This time, he was particularly serious.
The previous sacrifice was just to calm people's hearts, after all, but in this sacrifice, every step he took was respectful from the bottom of his heart.
Everyone thought that the orthodox emperor was worshiping the heaven and earth that helped him defeat Wala.
Only Zhu Qizhen himself knew who he worshiped.
And Yan Yan was inexplicably rewarded the next day.
He was given credit for his merits. Not only was his salary doubled again, but Zhu Qizhen was also rewarded with a large amount of gold and silver, a luxurious mansion in the capital, and was granted the title of Grand Tutor. If it weren't for the ancestral system, The surname Zhu cannot be crowned king, so Zhu Qizhen must be treated as a prince.
The Ming army also suffered more than 40,000 casualties in this battle, but overall it was a great victory.
However, Zhu Qizhen was still scolded.
After all, the Gong Gong princes in the court at that time all went out with the army. At that time, the war was in turmoil, and the Wala soldiers were wielding sharp swords. The sight of blood and heads flying everywhere frightened all the big guys.
There were even a few unlucky officials who received the lunch boxes on the spot. Of course the civil servants were not happy.
They wrote letters one after another to impeach Zhu Qizhen for the wrongness of his personal expedition, calling him "a great success."
If it were not for the "lucky invitation from heaven", then the orthodox emperor might have suffered "unspeakable" disasters, and the Ming Dynasty would have been in danger of "shaking the world" because of his hasty behavior.
Zhu Qizhen could only smile bitterly when facing these memorials, which were almost like pointing at his nose and scolding him. He was really embarrassed to get angry and punish him. After all, he was indeed sloppy this time.
Things that could easily be solved by appointing a brave general or calling Wang Ji back from the south, he had to conquer in person, so much so that Oala almost overthrew the Ming Dynasty.
The son of a rich man could not sit down in the hall, but he finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
Not only that, the battle in Huailai is also very powerful.
For the ministers, the lesson is:
We must not allow the guy on the throne to lead the expedition himself, otherwise our lives may have to be paid for.
This view directly affected the direction of Ming Dynasty history, and caused a certain emperor behind Zhu Qizhen to suffer a lot because of it.
But in fact, it was Zhu Qizhen who had the greatest influence. After all, a strong wind directly turned defeat into victory.
This is to manage a government with a hammer and train a soldier with wool!
A piece of jade pendant attracts strong winds, and the father's prophecy comes true. What does this mean? Gods and immortals really exist!
Imagine that an ordinary modern person suddenly knows that cultivating immortality is real...
After returning, Zhu Qizhen plunged into the Ming Dynasty's library and searched for countless Taoist classics.
He summoned many Taoist priests from famous mountains and rivers into the palace to lecture him, and also forced them to make wind and rain for them and teach him celestial arts.
It’s easy to say that preaching the scriptures can make the wind and rain rain. How could this be possible? If I knew magic, why would I need to kneel here for you?
Several Taoist priests had no choice but to collude secretly, and when they met with Zhu Qizhen, they all agreed:
"Your Majesty, since the beginning of the world, the essence of the world has been continuously lost, and now it is the age of the end of the Dharma. Even those of us who practice Qi refining, it is difficult to seek immortality, and it is difficult to perform magic. We can only cultivate our moral character and prolong our lives according to ancient scriptures. "
"Then why have I seen someone who can call the wind and rain?" Zhu Qizhen questioned.
Damn it, which colleague is pretending to be a ghost?
Taoist priests judge others by themselves, so naturally they don't believe that someone can really control the situation, but they can't expose themselves on the spot, right?
So they said:
"It's not like there are no people who can practice Taoism and have great supernatural powers, but such people are hard to find throughout the ages..."
Not only did these words fail to persuade Zhu Qizhen to return, but they made him even more obsessed.
Doesn’t this mean that immortal cultivators are real?
When Yan Yan came to the palace to meet him, he discussed with Yan Yan enthusiastically:
"Chen Guogong, what do you think this 'Tao' is? I have studied the classics given to me by several Taoist priests, and I have gained quite a lot in recent days. I only feel that my mind is clear and my body is much lighter."
"Could it be that I have the talent to practice Taoism? Do I have the talent to become an immortal?"
…
Yan Yan was speechless and could only echo.
Fortunately, at this time, although Zhu Qizhen was very obsessed with cultivation matters, he did not neglect the government affairs. Various memorials were still being approved, so although the ministers were unhappy and often wrote letters to advise, but when they saw Zhu Qi There was no strike in the town, but there was no deadlock either.
After all, the Ming Dynasty has many things to be busy with now.
For example, during the post-war reconstruction, the land that Oala passed through was thousands of miles away, and there were ruins everywhere. The court had to send officials to search for survivors, rebuild villages and towns, and move people from the interior to fill the gaps. These were all major projects.
There are also more important armaments.
Wala's invasion exposed many things, especially its weakness in military strength.
The border troops are essentially still guardsmen, but because the border has been in constant war, they have gradually retired from their jobs and specialized in war. However, the peace between Oara and the Ming Dynasty lasted for eight years. Due to the lack of fighting in the frontier army, coupled with the generals' empty pay and embezzlement of military pay, their combat effectiveness dropped sharply. In the end, they were defeated by Oara who lacked weapons and armor. A large amount of supplies were provided.
Not to mention the three major battalions. As the guard troops of the capital, they are extremely well-equipped and have a very high armor rate. Logically speaking, their combat effectiveness should be very strong. However, because they have stayed near the capital for a long time, they have not really experienced a war. The warriors who go to the battlefield to fight are unable to fight against the enemy.
Everyone knew that the war was far from over. Although Wala was now in civil strife, the Ming Dynasty was unable to carry out an expedition.
A few decades later, they will still be a band of heroes, and the Ming Dynasty's borders will be harassed again.
The regulations must be drawn up immediately and the army must be reorganized!
