The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 542: The Battle of Tumu!
On the canopy.

The king's army marched from Datong to Zijing Pass in the southeast.

……

[If you retreat along the original route, you will be safe. ]

[However, Wang Zhen insisted on returning to his hometown of Weizhou to show off his power.]

[Now the army has to take a detour and return to Beijing from Zijing Pass.]

[At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops with low morale and exhausted from fleeing were directly exposed to the eyes of the Wala army.]

[The ministers are not unaware of the serious consequences of doing so.]

[But Wang Zhen had the emperor behind him, and the emperor trusted Wang Zhen very much, so the ministers were powerless.]

[In the end, even the Duke of Ying, Zhang Fu, who was well versed in military affairs, simply remained silent.]

[After several days of observation, the battle-hardened Yesen figured out the true situation of this Ming army and began to try to follow and pursue them.]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"I understand."

Liu Che licked his lips.

"What's Wang Zhen or not?"

“It’s all a cover.”

Huo Qubing couldn't bear to see such a stupid operation, so he frowned and looked at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that this was Zhu Qizhen's own decision?"

Liu Che flicked his sleeves and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"If you calculate, Zhu Qizhen is already 22 years old."

"He has been in power for fourteen years. Even if he was born in the deep palace and raised by women, can he really let things go on such an important matter?"

Huo Qubing's eyes darkened as he thought secretly, and Wei Zifu was also lost in thought.

Liu Che looked at the sky, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Even if Wang Zhen persuaded Emperor Yingzong of Ming to lead the army in person."

"But after so many incidents at the front, could he really be completely deceived by Wang Zhen and know nothing about the situation at the front and just let it go?"

……

[In fact, the route from Datong to Zijing Pass should have been very safe.]

[As early as the Hongwu period, there were a large number of Ming Dynasty guards along this line. ]

[However, as time went by, the various garrisons were either destroyed or abolished.]

[This route has long been a free passage for Mongolian cavalry.]

[So tens of thousands of Wala troops followed and pursued, and soon approached the Ming army. ]

【However, something strange happened. 】

[According to historical records, after Wang Zhen decided to return to Beijing from Zijing Pass, he was afraid that the army would trample on the crops in his hometown.]

[As they were about to reach Weizhou, he immediately ordered the entire army to turn eastward! ]

【Enter Beijing from Juyongguan instead! 】

……

{No matter how I think about it, this reason is bullshit, what a bullshit spiral ascension idiot!}

{How can a eunuch like you be so powerful that you can make the army move according to your will?! Do you really think you are a eunuch from the late Tang Dynasty?}
{Wang Zhen should talk to Zhu Qizhen.}
{Is it possible that Wang Zhen took the blame for Zhu Qizhen?}
{It seems that Zhu Qizhen's idea of ​​going to war was that Yesen did not dare to take the initiative to confront the Ming army. He led the army to show off his power and then Yesen took the initiative to retreat.}
{The Ming army also collapsed due to logistical failures. The Oirat army did not dare to engage in direct combat with a large number of Ming troops at the beginning.}
{But the Ming Dynasty must have known about Yesen's strength, and had already adopted a policy of appeasement in April.}
｛The description of the process of this march in the History of Ming Dynasty is extremely absurd, which makes people feel that the people who made the plan are not even as good as today's junior high school students.｝
{But just because you know it's written randomly doesn't mean you can "reverse-examine" the real scene.}
……

Ming dynasty.

"Does this even matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang broke countless tea cups!

"Is it true that a large army was urgently sent out to fight in two days?"

"Is it true that we sent out troops without any planning?"

"Is it true that you change your mind every day?"

"Why do you look down on the grassland tribes?"

"Just because of the Northern Expedition?"

"Then have you ever thought about why we have to fight so many northern expeditions?"

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands on his hips and cursed with spit flying.

He has never been afraid after fighting on the battlefield for many years.

But now he was afraid.

A group of nobles were led by a useless guy.

Are they afraid of the eunuch?

No, they are afraid of the emperor!
An emperor who knows nothing!

An emperor who holds great power and acts arbitrarily!

What will such people bring to the Ming Dynasty?
Hu Hai, Emperor Huizong of Song.

The two names kept playing back and forth in his mind.

At this point, even Emperor Yang of Sui is not worthy of being on this list!
Finally, the two words "Hu Hai" gradually disappeared.

Only the three words "Emperor Huizong of Song" kept jumping in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Old Zhu staggered in shock at the thought.

"Do not……"

Queen Ma stepped forward to support him, his hands were shaking all the time.

At this point, it was difficult for him to even deceive himself.

The Ming army’s action was equivalent to a complete turnaround!
The best time to withdraw has long passed!
Doesn't he know how fast and powerful the grassland cavalry were during their heyday?
Unless we abandon our baggage and march all night long, otherwise...

These armies that have lost all their fighting spirit are the meat in the mouths of the grassland cavalry!

……

[On August 11, the emperor's carriage stopped at the southeast of Xuanfu, traveling 56 miles.]

[On August 12, the imperial carriage stopped at Leijia Station and traveled 20 miles.]

[On August 13, the imperial carriage was still at Leijia Station.]

[On that day, "the emperor was about to set out, but after receiving intelligence from spies in Xuanfu that the enemy had attacked our army, we stopped and sent Wu Kezhong, the Marquis of Gongshun, to defend the rear."]

[Yesen's main force caught up with the Ming army that was responsible for the rearguard. ]

……

Song Zhenzong period
Zhao Heng calculated subconsciously.

His eyes widened in shock!

"He stayed in Xuanfu for another day?!"

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
"From the southeast of Xuanfu to Leijia Station, we only walked 20 miles before stopping?"

Li Longji felt that after meeting the three emperors Huizong, Qinzong and Gaozong, no other emperor would surprise him to the limit.

But now he realized that he was wrong. It took him two days to walk such a short distance.

After receiving the intelligence that "the enemy attacked our army", he not only did not order the march to be accelerated.

Instead, while sending out the rearguard troops, they actually stopped!
Is this person sick?
Why don't you run when you should?

Are you so tough now?
Now you should learn how to drift like Emperor Taizong of Song!

……

[Gongshun Hou Wu Kezhong was ordered to lead 15,000 people to resist the enemy, but they were completely wiped out.]

[Afterwards, Duke Chengguo Zhu Yong led another 30,000 men (some say 45,000 men) to resist the enemy, but was ambushed and attacked from both wings by the Oirat cavalry at Yaoerling, and the entire army was annihilated.]

[The most powerful and elite troops of the Ming Dynasty's expeditionary army were completely annihilated. ]

[On August 13, after learning that the army had been annihilated, Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen led the already defeated army to begin evacuating.]

[On August 14, the army arrived at Tumubao.]

……

On the canopy.

Yellow sand is flying all over the sky.

The desolate ancient road was crowded with exhausted soldiers who were still marching.

Some messengers on horseback rode past them, raising a cloud of dust that lasted for a long time.

From time to time, a small group of soldiers were seen squatting on the side of the road.

They were all covered in dust and looked around with squinted eyes.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di sat on the stone pier motionless.

After seeing this scene.

He suddenly felt as if he was in an ice cellar.

My heart sank.

If the army's morale is high, it is not impossible to fight.

But at this time...

Look at the chaos around here...

This doesn't look like the Ming army at all!
They are just a mob!
You know, their opponents are the Wala people on the grassland!
Those people are fierce and brave, good at riding and shooting, and full of blood!
Look at these soldiers who are running around like headless flies...

"It's over..."

……

The scene on the sky curtain followed the army backwards.

There was an open space on the slope, which was filled with densely packed tents.

The tent in the middle is the largest tent here.

Flags were planted everywhere, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids were running around carrying various bedtime utensils like ants moving house.

At this time, a group of people were standing in front of the big tent in the middle.

Led by a minister, the court officials followed closely behind and stood silently.

……

【Tumubao is only 25 miles away from Huailai. 】

[The officials advocated that Zhu Qizhen should be escorted to Huailai first, but Wang Zhen requested to stay here and wait because his own baggage of more than a thousand carts had not arrived yet.]

【The Minister of Rites Kuang Ye tried to persuade Wang Zhen to do so, but was scolded by Wang Zhen and dragged out by his attendants.】

[So, the Ming army stationed in Tumubao, which had no water source and was located at a strategic point on the road.]

……

On the canopy.

Wang Zhen stood in front of the big tent and looked at the ministers being dragged away with a sneer.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead!
A fast horse is galloping from the front!

The scouts immediately shouted:
"Report - Wala is attacking from the front!"

"Swish", Wang Zhen's face turned pale!

He went into the tent in horror.

The ministers in front of the tent were thrown into disarray and chaos reigned all around.

The people in the tent ran out, and the people outside ran inside.

The soldiers couldn't find their general, and the general ran around but couldn't find the messenger.

Soldiers were running everywhere.

At this time,
Dust gradually rose up in front.

Coming in overwhelming numbers!

……

[On August 14, Yesen led the Oirat army to besiege the Ming army in Tumubao.]

[That night, the Wala soldiers attacked Mayukou, 30 miles north of Tumubao.]

[The Ming army unexpectedly showed great fighting power at this time, forming a military formation and repelling the attacks of the Oirat several times.]

[On August 15, Yesen pretended to negotiate peace. When Wang Zhen saw that the enemy troops were retreating, he quickly ordered them to move their camp.]

[After marching less than three or four miles, the Wala soldiers surrounded them again and invaded their formation with their cavalry.]

[The Ming army was in chaos and trampled on each other, "half of them were killed or wounded, and one third died"]

[Wang Zhen, who caused this tragedy, also died tragically in the army.]

[Looking at the list of casualties is even more heartbreaking:]

【Duke of England Zhang Fu, Minister of War Kuang Ye, Minister of Revenue Wang Zuo.】

【Scholars Cao Nai, Zhang Yi and 66 other civil and military officials from the Renzong and Xuanzong dynasties were killed.】

【Only Xiao Weizhen, the Right Prime Minister of the Dali Temple, Yang Shan, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Xian, the Selectman, managed to escape.】

[More than 200,000 mules and horses, as well as a large amount of clothing, armor, equipment and baggage, were all seized by the Oirat.]

……

On the canopy.

On the battlefield littered with corpses.

A Ming Dynasty dragon flag was faintly fluttering in the sky.

Zhu Qizhen, wearing armor, was surrounded by several guards.

He calmly dismounted and put down his sword.

……

[After being identified by Ming Dynasty captives, Yesen's younger brother, King Saikan, also confirmed a shocking fact.]

【The Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen was captured.】
