On the next day, Zhu Jianshen wore a dragon robe and succeeded to the throne in Yinghua Hall. He did not cry or make trouble, but just stared blankly at the officials who knelt down and worshiped him.
In his last life, he was just a primary school teacher. Just two years after returning to the Ming Dynasty, the original history was changed. He ascended the throne more than ten years ago. Even the wings of a butterfly can cause earth-shaking changes.
When all the officials shouted long live, Zhu Jianshen still had a feeling of disbelief and a feeling of being in another world.
After Zhu Jianshen ascended the throne, he issued three imperial edicts in a row under Yu Qian's instruction. The first one appointed Yu Qian as Minister of War, giving him the power to defend the provinces in the northern part of the capital.
The second imperial edict was to absolve all accompanying military attachés from the guilt of resisting and disobeying the edict, and to encourage and appease them.
The third imperial edict was to honor Zhu Qizhen, who was herding sheep in Mobei at this time, as the Supreme Emperor.
After doing this, Zhu Jianshen returned to the Queen Mother's palace. Except that his identity had changed, nothing else seemed to have changed.
Border defense and capital defense have been fully managed by Yu Qian, so he doesn't need to worry about it.
Today's history has changed. The nobles did not sacrifice their country collectively, and the strength of the Ming army was relatively intact, except for the fact that there was an emperor as a prisoner.
Zhu Qizhen went out for a trip and found that the emperor's position had been lost.
The imperial decree reached the important towns of Datong Xuanfu. Zhang Fu and others also breathed a sigh of relief one after another. The imperial court had no intention of holding the emperor accountable.
Zhu Qizhen, who was far away in the Mobei grassland, didn't know that he had been honored as the Supreme Emperor by the Ming Dynasty.
Those who were still excited didn't know that the long-term food stamps in their hands had expired.
Holding the bargaining chip of capturing the Ming Emperor, he traveled around the tribes on the grassland, lobbying with the slogan of his ambition to move south to each other and return the capital, and won the support of more people.
In July of the 14th year of Zhengtong, due to tensions in the tributary relationship and the Mongols not being able to obtain necessary daily necessities, they followed the order of the Grand Master and launched a war against the Ming Dynasty. The troops were divided into four groups and invaded the Ming Dynasty.
The first route attacked Liaodong, the second route attacked Gansu, the third route attacked Xuanfu, and the most important one was Datong, which he personally led his troops to attack.
At this point the war was in full swing.
But at this time, the Ming army was not a soft persimmon. After three dynasties of Emperor Wu, the Ming border troops were brave and good at fighting. They were not as afraid of the Mongols as they were in the former Song Dynasty. The wars were fought back and forth.
The Mongols suffered heavy losses, and their fighting spirit gradually weakened. The same was true for Yexian. After the arrival of Prince Consort Jingyuan, they fought an offensive and defensive battle in Datong, but did not achieve great results.
Just when a truce was being planned, he won a battle of Tumu Fort, killed more than 60,000 Ming soldiers, and captured the emperor who was traveling around.
This was a complete victory over the Ming army. Ye Xian did something that his grandfather Mahamu had not been able to do. Ye Xian did it. The morale of the Oara army was high, and the high-level officials were eager to retake the capital.
A Korean eunuch, Xi Ning, suddenly became a celebrity next to Wang Zhen and became a celebrity in Ye Xian.
In Ye Xian's tent.
Sitting high on the throne, he had yellow skin and his hair was tied into two pigtails according to the Mongolian tradition. He wiped his sword and stared at Xi Ning quietly.
"Grand Master, when you attack Datong, you can bring Emperor Zhu Ming with you and ask the emperor to call the door. If they listen, our Mongol warriors can capture Datong without any blood. Even if they don't listen to Emperor Zhu Ming, it can boost their morale. , disrupting their military morale."
After listening to Xi Ning's words, he put down his scimitar first and said with a chuckle: "This plan is exactly what I wanted. You, you go and tell Zhu Qizhen and let him write the edict first. If he doesn't write the edict, , I took him to the city wall to call the door."
He is planning an attack on Datong.
In fact, he has a bigger goal, which is Beijing.
The safest way is to remove the important towns on the nine sides one by one, and successfully march to the gates of Beijing. At that time, the glory of his ancestors will be restored to its glory in his hands.
The Mongolian Yuan era will come again.
Of course, if we do not cripple Datong, Xuanfu and other important towns and take a detour to Zijingguan, we can achieve the strategic goal. However, we will leave the back to the Ming army. If we fail to attack Beijing for a long time, we will be in danger of being attacked from both sides. This is also why, and also After mobilizing military forces, no military operations were planned for another offensive within half a month after the Battle of Tumu Fort.
Zhu Qizhen was sitting in a tent, looking at the grassland outside the tent, his eyes were blank, and he no longer looked like a young emperor. M.biQuge.biZ
Xi Ning came in with two Mongolian Khans, tidied up the table a little, and laid out the paper. Then Xi Ning began to study ink again. Looking at Zhu Qizhen who was sitting there and unwilling to talk to him, he looked coldly. He said: "Your Majesty, the Grand Master has told you to write an edict to Zhang Fu, Zhu Shou and others in Datong, asking them to present the city and surrender."
Zhu Qizhen said nothing after listening.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Master has said that if you don't write the edict, I will tie you to a chariot and attack the city. It would be a pity if your Majesty, the Nine-fifth Emperor, dies like this."
Zhu Qizhen sighed: "Even if I write it, what's the use? Zhang Fu, Zhu Shou and others didn't listen to my imperial orders when they were in Datong, which is why I ended up like this. If, if..." said At this point, Zhu Qizhen looked ferocious. He and Wang Zhen seemed to have no responsibility at all. It was all because of their unruly behavior and disobedience to the emperor's orders that led to the battle of Tumu Fort and the humiliation of the emperor.
"If it is anything, does the emperor still think that he can return to Beijing? My slave, I would like to advise the emperor to give up this idea as soon as possible. However, there is some truth in what the emperor said. The British Duke and Cheng Guogong look down on the emperor so much. , you dared to disobey when you were high, but now you are a prisoner, and they will not listen to what you say. However, the old general Yang Hong of Xuan Mansion does not have the background of Zhang Fu and Zhu Shou to issue an edict to Yang Hong. , let him open the city gates and present the city to the grand master."
The general in charge of Xuanfu is veteran general Yang Hong, a general who showed his prominence during the Yongle Dynasty's Five Expeditions to Mobei. At the time of Tumubao, Xuanfu was the closest to Zhu Qi Town.
General Yang Hong only knew that a war broke out nearby, but did not send troops to rescue.
First, the situation was unclear. At the time of Tumu Fort, after first besieging the Ming army, they did not rush to attack, but stared at Xuanfu. If Xuanfu sent troops, they would attack the city immediately. Secondly, Xuanfu was very important to the Ming Dynasty. It is too important. To defend Xuanfu is to preserve the power of the Ming Dynasty in the first battle, and to protect the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty so that it will not repeat the mistakes of the two Song Dynasties.
In the real history, General Yang Hong used all his strength in the defense of Beijing. When the Xuanfu troops retreated from Oara, they killed more than 20,000 Mongolians. After stopping Ye Xian's escape and retreat, he joined forces with the pursuing Ming army. At the same time, they killed more than 10,000 people from their own tribe and more than 30,000 people from other tribes. This was also the most serious local war in which Oara suffered the most serious losses in the battle to defend Beijing.
The march and retreat of the soldiers and horses led by Zhu Qizhen were always like a joke. The general officers did not even know as much about the garrison in various places as the eunuchs.
At that moment, Zhu Qizhen thought of what his son Zhu Jianshen asked him that day in the Yangxin Hall: "Father, as a king, you must open up your words and consider the gains and losses. If you win, it will be better if you win. But Father, have you ever thought about what would happen if you lose?"
If you lose, what if you lose?
It seems to be the best choice to die for the country, but it is not the time to die for the country yet. The important cities are all in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has not been defeated, but I, Zhu Qizhen, have been defeated.
The ministers mistook me, and the nobles mistook me.
