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

Chapter 543 "Those who advocate migration to the south shall be beheaded!"

{From the siege of Baideng to the siege of Yanmen to Gaoliang River, the emperor's visit to the border was itself a high-risk act.}
{It's true. If the emperor leads the army in person, it's fine if he wins, but if he loses, the impact is huge. It's like betting 10,000 yuan on 100 yuan.}
｛Those who were good at fighting, such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, were fine, and basically all had positive returns.｝
｛In fact, I personally feel that with the team left by the three generations of Chengzu, even if Baozong became a king who maintained the status quo, the Ming Dynasty would have another era of peace.｝
{However, his three generations of ancestors had made great achievements, which made him a little arrogant. He thought that he was capable of anything, so he led an expedition against the Oirat Mongols and was captured.}
{Cold knowledge: When a person has no military ability, his military ability has surpassed Zhu Qizhen.}
{Pig is a negative number, right?}
{The greatest sin of Emperor Yingzong of Ming was that he did not escape. If he had escaped, he would have been Emperor Taizong of Song.}
｛Although Zhao Guangyi failed to conquer the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, he was not someone Zhu Qizhen could challenge. Whether in terms of civil and military skills or the ability to escape.｝
{Zhao Guangyi was trying to recover lost territory, so he basically never lost a small-scale battle, but he lost every decisive battle. Ming Baozong was just a direct result, and he was just courting death.}
{If you gave Zhao Guangyi this number and quality of Ming army, he would probably turn Liao into a scorched earth and destroy the country three times.}
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
“I never thought that one day even Zhao Kuangyi would be able to brag about his martial arts.”

Liu Che admitted that his understanding had been refreshed again.

"An army of five hundred thousand men."

"Did nothing."

"Gone!"

"I now seriously suspect that Zhu Qizhen is using me as a scapegoat in order to eliminate the power of the prime minister!"

"That's outrageous!"

“It’s totally inexplicable!”

Huo Qubing stroked his chin and said thoughtfully:

"Your Majesty, do you think it is possible that there are grassland spies among the Ming army?"

Liu Che, who was maintaining his IQ to avoid pollution, diverted his attention.

"Zi Xu...what you said does make some sense."

Liu Che was thinking in his mind based on what was said in the sky curtain.

Half of the Ming army suffered casualties, and almost all the ministers during the Renzong and Xuanzong periods were wiped out.

Plus the emperor was captured.

This shows that before the attack, the grassland had already clearly formulated the strategy of decapitation as the first priority and annihilation as the second priority.

That's why they were so eager to negotiate peace and instigate the Ming army to make mistakes!
After the attack, they concentrated their forces to eliminate the Ming army's command, and then quickly withdrew their troops in order to regroup and come back again!

So, who could this spy be?
As everyone knows, only the emperor can command matters such as peace talks and relocation of camps.

"The spy is Zhu Qizhen!"

Huo Qubing:...

……

Period of Emperor Guangwu of Yanhan Dynasty

"Broken bones."

Liu Xiu lamented the bad luck of the Ming Dynasty.

A frivolous war dealt a devastating blow to the central military power of the Ming Dynasty.

The pattern of the Ming-Mongol War and even foreign policy will be completely changed.

In the Battle of Tumubao, the three elite battalions all suffered devastating blows, whether the entire army was wiped out or half of them were killed or wounded.

In the past, we had the ability to proactively launch a war against other countries but did not use it.

There will be no troops available in the future.

"Zhu Zhanji, you may have thought of this scene."

The strategy of recuperating and recovering the border turned into a strategy of defending the border with all one's strength.

……

Song Taizong period
The expression on Zhao Kuangyi's face seemed to be neither crying nor laughing.

You compare this kind of person to me.

It’s hard to be happy even if I win!

……

{Why didn’t Fan Zhong go into detail about killing Wang Zhen? What a classic scene!}
{In fact, how Wang Zhen died has been a focus of debate among historians of all generations.}
{According to the "Ming History Chronicles: Wang Zhen's Affairs", this powerful eunuch was beaten to death on the spot by his bodyguard Fan Zhong.}
{In the Ming Book, Fu Weilin believed that Wang Zhen was killed by the Oirat soldiers.}
｛Then in the "Emperor Yingzong's Instructions to Wang Zhen", Zhu Qizhen said that he saw with his own eyes that Wang Zhen first committed suicide and died for his country.｝
{Fan Zhong's expression of "I will punish this thief for the sake of the world" is more like the writing style of later writers.}
{Fu Weilin's statement may be closer to the truth, but it lacks historical evidence.}
｛Zhu Qizhen's point of view is to whitewash himself. He must be more responsible than Wang Zhen for the defeat at Tumu Fortress.｝
……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky with a gloomy face.

The veins on the hand holding the corner of the table bulged.

"Ha" a cold laugh.

"Wang Zhen was an agitator for the Northern Expedition, but Zhu Qizhen was already an adult at the time, so he must have been the one who made the final decision."

"In their eyes, our Ming Dynasty is just their plaything!"

"The Emperor will not trample on his playmate just because his plaything fell into a ditch!"

"After all, it was done by two people together."

"To trample on others is to trample on yourself."

"Well, how shameless!"

Zhu Yuanzhang restrained his smile and stared at the sky.

"We had imagined that he could save the Ming Dynasty's reputation."

"It seems impossible."

"Row……"

He straightened his back slightly.

Keep watching.

He wanted to see how far he could go.

But no matter what.

Zhu Qizhen's fate had also been predetermined.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"The three major camps are gone."

Zhu Di stared straight at the sky, muttering:

"The nobles who practiced together are gone."

“Decades of accumulation are gone.”

"Zhu! Zhan! Ji!"

The old tiger roared.

The three people in the garden fell to their knees at the same time!
"You gave birth to a wonderful son!"

Zhu Di stood up angrily and walked over, kicking Zhu Zhanji to the ground.

"Can't you teach him properly?"

"You're just that busy!"

"Did the Renxuan Reign mean that you could let the border guards run wild?"

"do you know!"

Zhu Di suddenly leaned over, and his pair of dry hands tightly gripped Zhu Zhanji's shoulders like a pair of pliers.

"I want to kill you now!"

Zhu Gaochi, who was standing by, quickly shouted "Dad!"

"you shut up!"

Zhu Di turned his head and roared:
"I am not confused yet! I don't need the prince to teach me what to do!"

Zhu Gaochi shrank back and kowtowed silently.

Zhu Di's chest heaved violently.

He looked around.

Then he turned around and returned to his place and sat down.

He had two main concerns.

First, the Oirat would use the emperor to threaten the Ming army to open the gates of important towns and delay the enemy.

Second, the capital Beijing will soon become the next target of the Oirat.

The 500,000 Beijing troops were taken out of Juyongguan by that bastard. There were no more troops to be deployed near Beijing!

How to defend the capital is the most realistic, important and urgent matter!

The three people over there continued to kneel.

until……

"You, you always speak without thinking when you get excited."

At the gate of the garden.

Empress Xu looked at Zhu Di and smiled.

Zhu Di looked at her and his cold expression melted.

"Ugh……"

……

[The Ming Dynasty almost lost half of its territory, and even perished. ]

[This is an impact of the Battle of Tumu that is often glossed over.]

[The reason is simple: this has almost no practical effect.]

[In addition, the Battle of Tumu failed to change the military and economic advantages of the Ming Dynasty over its neighboring regimes.]

【Therefore, traditional historians often only touch upon the subject and do not elaborate in depth.】

[But, in the final analysis, this is the most important impact of the Tumubao Incident! ]

[To measure the importance of an impact, one must first consider how widespread it is and how long it lasts.]

[On the other hand, we also need to see whether it is fatal and whether it has reached the so-called historical turning point. ]

[In ancient China, was there any historical turning point more significant than one that could have changed the fate of the country? ]

【The impact of Tumubao did not expand to that of Song Huizong, only because a minister similar to Li Gang also stood up in the court. 】

【His name is Yu Qian.】

……

On the canopy.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The prince, dressed in a dragon robe, sat on a high seat with an uncertain expression on his face.

The ministers below were clamoring.

A minister bowed to the superior and said:
"Your Highness, I observed the celestial phenomena yesterday and checked the calendar. I found that there will be a great disaster. This is destiny and cannot be defied. The only way to avoid this disaster is to move south."

As soon as the words came out, a chorus of agreement followed.

"What Minister Xu said is absolutely right. In such a critical moment, it is of great importance to preserve the state!"

"Yes, yes. Besides, the Queen Mother is old, how can she be frightened by this? The best strategy is to stabilize the rear after moving south and then come up with countermeasures."

"Yes, and the elite troops of the three camps are all lost. Even if there are many civilians in the capital, it would be a joke to fight against the Wala cavalry with bare hands."

As soon as the words came out, voices of agreement arose.

The prince sitting on the upper throne showed some sign of movement.

……

Ming Dynasty and Xuande period
"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhu Zhanji coughed violently.

"Ahem! Xu Yun!"

"You are a person who misleads people with your lies!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Migrating south at this time would mean following in the footsteps of the Song Dynasty!

……

"Anyone who advocates moving south will be killed!"

An angry roar resounded through the sky.

The Howlers stepped out of the ranks.

He wore a black gauze cap and a blue official uniform.

The tall and straight figure like a pine tree looked back at the ministers.

……

[On August 1449, , news of the "Tumu Incident" reached the capital, shocking the whole country and causing chaos in Beijing.]

[Hanlin Academy lecturer Xu Youzhen (originally named Xu Yun) observed the stars at night and found that there was a trend of moving south. He believed that the destiny had changed and only moving south could avoid this disaster.]

[Yu Qian, who was in charge of the Ministry of War, could not bear to hear Xu Youzhen's escapist tone.]

[He shouted loudly: "Anyone who talks about moving south should be beheaded. The capital is the foundation of the country. If it moves, everything will be ruined. Haven't you seen the Song Dynasty's migration to the south?"]

[Yu Qian's opinions won praise from a group of upright ministers in the court, such as Hu Yi, Wang Zhi, Chen Xun, Shang Lu, and Wang Hong.]

[The eunuch Jin Ying, the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, even had Xu Yun driven out of the palace.]

[Under such circumstances, even the ministers who advocated moving south remained silent, and the court immediately reached a consensus.]

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there are still wise people.

In the case of a recent defeat, both the border and Beijing would be lost.

North China and Northwest China will fall under the ravages of the Mongolian cavalry.

The best situation is to divide the country and rule it separately.

If the court was filled with people like Xu, the Ming Dynasty would have had no chance of escaping the fate of moving south.

He patted his chest to catch his breath.

Looking up...

My heart felt warm.

"puff!"

Blood mist spurted out of his mouth!

……

【On August 18, Empress Dowager Sun ordered Prince Zhu Qiyu of Qin to serve as regent.】

[On August 21, Yu Qian was officially promoted to Minister of War, taking full responsibility for the defense of Beijing.]

【At the same time, a big one came from Zhu Qizhen’s side. 】

……

On the canopy.

Wild sand swept around the gate of Xuanfu city.

The defending general leaned against the top of the city wall and looked down at the city, his face full of shame, anger and sadness.

The soldiers standing on both sides also lowered their heads.

Under the city gate.

The golden armor sparkled brightly under the scorching sun.

"I am the emperor today!"

"Open the city gate quickly!"
