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

Chapter 578: Yingzhou Victory
On the canopy.

The emperor, dressed in gilded crimson armor and wearing a golden crown.

He held the sword at his waist and looked at the soldiers in front of him.

A person dressed as a general is directing the soldiers in training.

The scene changes.

Soldiers in full armor marched through the streets of the capital with their chests held high.

The people on the street looked at the military columns and pointed and talked.

……

[Zhu Houzhao's incognito tour was recorded in history books as Jiang Bin "guiding the emperor on a secret tour"]

[The first tour in February of the ninth year of Zhengde was recorded as "The emperor began to travel incognito and went to Jiaofang to watch music at night"]

[Then in June of the tenth year of Zhengde (1515), Zhu Houzhao left Xi'an Gate and returned after staying overnight. The cabinet ministers and others "did not know where he went."]

[In 1517, the Mongolian Dayan Khan Batu Mengke died and left a will that his eldest son's son Bodiarak would succeed him as Khan.]

[But because Bodiarak was young, his third son Barsborot became the 33rd Mongol Khan.]

[In March of the 1517th year of the Zhengde reign (), "the emperor traveled incognito, rode out of Bei'an Gate, and was followed by only a few soldiers. He returned to Shuntianfu Street."]

[In May, he "traveled quietly to Shijing Mountain, Tangyu Mountain, and Yuquan Pavilion" and returned after several days.]

[At the same time, the "four outer armies" of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, and Yansui were active in the streets of the capital and often trained in the imperial palace.]

[Zhu Houzhao "appeared in military uniform, and rode out with (Jiang) Bin, their armors intertwined, almost indistinguishable"]

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"Is there civil unrest on the grassland?"

Liu Che twirled his beard and thought.

This is actually a good time.

If we had an elite force, we might be able to retake the Hetao area.

"This little emperor has very high standards."

"He is the material for being an emperor."

……

Northern Qi Dynasty: Cultural and Propaganda Period
"private……"

Gao Yang sat up slightly.

Is the capital no longer safe?
The emperor was unaware of the whereabouts of the ministers when it came to mobilizing foreign troops, training soldiers, arranging troops, and going on tours.

Remove all subjective descriptions and look only at objective phenomena.

The emperor obviously did not trust the troops in the capital.

……

Northern Zhou Dynasty: Emperor Wu Period
"Those ministers panicked."

Yuwen Yong stroked his beard and suddenly said:

"This little emperor is obviously different from Emperor Hongzhi."

"Dare to think and act, not bound by etiquette and laws."

"It's even very different from Emperor Chenghua."

"Just train the new troops yourself."

"He now trusts neither ministers nor eunuchs."

Little Li Yuan held his chin and said helplessly:
"Given the situation in the late Tang Dynasty, how could the emperor allow eunuchs to take control of the military?"

"Zheng He and Wang Zhi, how many years do you have to wait for someone like them to appear?"

Yuwen Yong agreed with this and sighed:
"In the balance of power at court, the emperor's fate is the worst possible outcome."

"But it is not the right time for the Ming Dynasty to play any balancing game at this time."

If you play again, you will die!

……

大 明
Zhu Yuanzhang sat quietly in the chair.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

"It's difficult..."

The Ming emperors after him were largely unable to do whatever they wanted.

Because it is subject to the constraints of ancestral systems, ethical morals, Confucian norms and the civil service group.

However, these systems, which were established to protect the emperor, became a constraint for the ambitious rulers...

He even became an accomplice of the emperor Zhu Qizhen...

"Girl, are we really wrong?"

Queen Ma looked at Old Zhu, whose face was full of confusion, and silently held his hand.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"We exercised the army and used firearms, never forgetting to improve the army's combat effectiveness."

Zhu Di looked at the sky and said bitterly:
"Let the border troops and the Beijing camp exchange guards, and let the border troops lead the Beijing camp's troops in training."

"We are determined to revive the might of the Ming army!"

"But look! Look!"

"In those stinky mouths!"

"This is the licentious and immoral emperor!"

"Only someone like Zhu Youtang who knows nothing about anything can be a good emperor?"

"I bother!"

……

【Zhu Houzhao was a bold emperor. 】

[He was also an emperor who was unwilling to be bound by rules.]

[To some extent, he is actually very similar to Zhu Qizhen.]...

Ming Dynasty and Zhengde Period
Zhu Houzhao, who had always looked indifferent, suddenly changed his expression.

"Hey!"

"What did you say?!"

"Who is like him?"

……

[In August of the 1517th year of the Zhengde reign in , Zhu Houzhao "went to Changping in disguise" and arrived at Juyongguan, and ordered the gate to be opened.]

[Inspector Zhang Qin resolutely rejected this absurd order, "carried the imperial seal", sat under the gate with a sword in hand, and sternly declared: "Anyone who dares to say that the gate is open will be beheaded."]

【Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to return.】

[You thought he left? No! He has been squatting in Changping! ]

[He waited for several days until Zhang Qin went on a tour of inspection at Baiyangkou. He took the opportunity to "rush out of the pass" and ordered Gu Dayong to block Zhang Qin and other Beijing officials from chasing him.]

[I am stationed in the Zhenguogong Mansion in Xuanfu. 】

……

{Isn't this also a kind of coup d'état? (dog head)}

{…Fuck, this statement is subtle and appropriate.}
{To be honest, I support the civil officials on this point. Without the third eye, this is just a replica of Zhu Qizhen!}
{How can we withstand another "Tumu Incident"?}
{In this respect, Zhu Houzhao is indeed bold...}
……

Ming Dynasty and Xuande period
Zhu Zhanji picked up the teacup with shaking hands and took a sip.

Fortunately, fortunately... Judging from what the sky said, the "Tumu Incident" should not have happened again.

What if there was a civil war at this time?

The Ming Dynasty could directly declare its demise, or move south to Nanjing and establish the Southern Ming.

……

Ming Dynasty and Zhengde Period
Zhu Houzhao curled his lips.

"You know nothing!"

Batu Mongke had just died and Mongolia was unstable.

It’s just the right time to hit him!
If Barsborough stabilizes Mongolia, the Battle of Tumu will be repeated!
……

[At the same time, the new Khan Barsborot sent 60,000 troops to harass Xuanfu, killing and looting nearly 4,000 people.]

[In September, Zhu Houzhao visited Datong and stationed in Yanghe, calling himself the governor-general of military affairs and the mighty general commander.]

[The Ministry of Revenue was ordered to deliver 1 million taels of silver to Xuanfu.]

【The Minister of Revenue Shi Jie refused and only sent half of it. 】

[At the end of the month, Zhu Houzhao left Yanghe and went to Datong. ]

[At the same time, the Tatars went south again and plundered Yanghe. ]

[On the first day of October, the Tatars attacked Datong. They fought with Datong's general Wang Xun, deputy general Zhang Li, and guerrilla Sun Zhen.]

[Zhu Houzhao ordered Xuanfu Guerrilla Shi Chun and Liaodong Left Lieutenant General Xiao Zhe to rush to Wang Xun's aid, while Guerrilla Zhou Zheng, Deputy General Zhu Luan, Datong Right Guard Lieutenant General Ma Xun, and Pinglu City Lieutenant General Gao Shi followed the Tatars.]

[Xuanfu General Zhu Zhen and Lieutenant General Zuo Qin went to Yanghe to join the other troops.]

[On the second day of the first lunar month, the Tatars turned to Yingzhou. ]

【The Battle of Yingzhou breaks out.】

……

On the canopy.

The golden banner flutters in the wind.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the battle formation forming a human wall in front of him, motionless.

Red and black collided with each other, and there was a stalemate.

The Mongolian cavalry circled outside the human wall, howling loudly.

The Ming soldiers held their shields and spears, standing still as a mountain.

Zhu Houzhao saw a ferocious Hu face.

He reached for the longbow at his waist with an expressionless face.

Draw the bow and nock the arrow.

"Boom!"

The bow string sounds loudly!

The general beside him shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty shoots personally! Behead one level!"

The sound spread out.

The morale of the army was greatly boosted!

……

[On the third day of October, Zhang Li, Sun Zhen, Wang Xun and others fought a great battle with the Tatars in the south of Yingzhou City.]

[On the fourth day, there was heavy fog, and the Tatars temporarily retreated.]

[On the fifth day, Wang Xun and others left the city to fight against the Tatars, and Xiao Zi, Shi Chun, Zhou Zheng, Ma Xun and others led their troops to support them.]

[Zhu Houzhao led eunuchs Zhang Yong, Wei Bin, Zhang Zhong, and governor Jiang Bin from Yanghe to support and personally went into battle.]

[On the sixth day, the Tatars took the initiative to attack. Zhu Houzhao commanded his generals to resist. The imperial carriage was almost trapped. The battle lasted from chenshi to youshi, and the Tatars retreated.]

[On the seventh day, Zhu Houzhao and his generals fought and retreated. When they reached Shuozhou, the Tatars retreated and Zhu Houzhao moved to Datong.]

[In the first month of the 1518th year of the Zhengde reign in , Zhu Houzhao returned to Beijing from Xuanfu.]

[Afterwards, the Ming army was counted and found to have 52 dead, 563 seriously injured, 16 Tatar heads captured, and Zhu Houzhao personally shot and killed one person.]

【For several years, the Tatars did not dare to invade the border.】

……

{Isn't it the little prince who is invading this battle?}

{Because Mongolian historical records are brief and contradictory, and Ming Dynasty records are few and have information delays, there has always been disagreement about the date of Batu Mengke's birth and death.}
{The mainstream view is that he ascended the throne at the end of the 17th year of Chenghua.}
{However, because it was close to the end of the year, the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar were out of sync, which led to some Mongolian historical materials believing that it was 1482. Due to the lack of information and delayed information, Ming Dynasty historical materials said it was the th year of Chenghua and the rd year of Chenghua.}
{However, there are huge differences in the date of Batu Mengke's death.}
{One theory holds that he died at the age of eighty, but by then Altan Khan had already taken control of Mongolia, so this theory is self-defeating.}
{Another theory is that he died at the age of 1516, probably in 1517 or .}
{Because of the date difference between the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar or the delay in information transmission, there is also the possibility that he died at the end of the 1517th year of Zhengde or the beginning of .}
{Therefore, the reason why the Tatars did not dare to invade the border for several years had little to do with this war. The real reason should be that Mongolia was in a state of de facto division in the years before and after this.}
{Barsborot was strongly opposed by the Mongol tribes during his reign. After the young Bodiarak ascended the throne, he was faced with the de facto independence of the Mongol tribes. It was thirty years later that Altan Khan actually controlled both wings of Mongolia.}
{Secondly, the actual casualties of this battle were indeed underestimated, but this has nothing to do with the deliberate suppression by the civilian group.}
{The Ming Dynasty used two completely different methods to calculate military merits, namely, the number of heads and the number of battle reports.}
{The former is the various verifications of the Ministry of War and the Censorate. The army is equipped with a considerable number of civil servants when it is outside, and they are responsible for writing various documents and taking into account the rules of officialdom.}
{However, Zhu Houzhao's expedition this time was mainly led by his trusted followers from the Leopard House and generals from the border towns. These people had no connections with Zhu Houzhao and were completely incapable of writing a qualified victory report and attaching relevant physical evidence.}
{In addition, the evaluation of merit was conducted after the battle of Yingzhou ended and the emperor returned to Xuanfu from the northern tour. Several months was enough for the head to rot to the point where it could not be recognized, so it is reasonable that the merit was greatly discounted.}
