Chapter 76 This is the Ming God of War (please read it!)
Tumu Fort!
These three words were instantly imprinted into the hearts of all the emperors.
Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, the defending kings who did not fight much, may not know that Tumu Fort is a small fortress on the northern defense line.
However, Lao Zhu, Xu Da and several Zhu Di are all the leaders who have been fighting with the Mongols all year round, so they are naturally well aware of the terrain of the northern border.
Even after Lao Zhu founded the country, he had never personally conquered the grassland.
However, during the Hongwu period, he personally planned every route of military service. Therefore, although he did not personally fight, he had already been familiar with every stronghold on the route of the Northern Expedition.
"It's not right."
Xu Da frowned and leaned back to Lao Zhu's ear and whispered.
"Tumu Fort is only a few dozen miles away from Juyong Pass, how could Can Yuan come here?"
In the eyes of this Duke of Wei who swept across the Northern Yuan Dynasty, this was simply an incredible thing.
Old Zhu also frowned.
"Let our brother finish speaking first."
Old Zhu Di on the other side frowned even tighter, and he always felt something was wrong.
His first two Northern Expeditions had already extended the territory control territory of the Ming Dynasty to Sakhalin Island. This Tumu Fort can be regarded as the hinterland in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. How could a large-scale battle take place in Tumu Fort?
Ji Boying glanced around everyone, and his expressions were taken into his eyes and spoke indifferently.
"Our first practical observation class is Zhu Qizhen, and we analyze the changes in the destiny of the Ming Dynasty from Zhu Qizhen."
"And about Zhu Qizhen's legendary life, you can use the following five words to summarize it, and listen carefully."
Taking a breath, Ji Boying was stunned for a moment.
"The God of War in the Ming Dynasty, called the emperor of the Men, the student of the Ola, the emperor of the Seizure, and the Baozong."
Once the five words were released, except for the first Ming Dynasty war god, it was obvious that the crown princes of the Emperor could not quite understand it.
“First, we interpret the first word.”
"The fourteenth year of Zhengtong, on August 15th, the battle of Tumu Fort."
When the battle at Tumu Fort fell, it was obvious that both Lao Zhu and Lao Zhu Di and others all looked excited and straightened their backs, for fear of missing this glorious moment.
"Wala also made a butcher's knife, and the three camps in the capital were destroyed, and the 200,000 elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were all destroyed."
"The British Duke Zhang Fu, Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Yong, Taining Hou Chen Ying, the son-in-law Jing Yuan, the Minister of War Kuang Ye, the Minister of Revenue Wang Zuo, the Left Minister of Personnel Cao Nai, the Right Minister of Justice Ding Xuan, the Right Minister of Works, Yonghe, the Right Deputy Censor of the Censorate, Deng Li and other 52 noble officials died in the chaos."
"Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was captured in the central army."
"This is the Ming Dynasty God of War."
After the words came to an end, the entire Zuixian Tower main hall was as quiet as ink, and even the buzzing sound of the newborn mosquitoes flying by the mother could be clearly heard.
After Ji Boying finished speaking in one breath, he did not continue speaking, but sat back on the Grand Master's chair.
He took the hot tea presented by Xiyu, picked up the tea lid, blew the white air, and took a sip.
He knew that cruel facts often take some time to digest, especially in advance that there were wrong expectations.
"We, we..."
After a brief silence, Lao Zhu's chest began to fluctuate extremely. He opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't finish this sentence.
The 200,000 elite troops accumulated over decades were lost, and more than 50 important officials and nobles died in the chaos, and became a prisoner of the Oirat as the Emperor of Ming Dynasty...!
Any of them can make Lao Zhu angry and vomit blood, let alone three of them happen together.
When he thought of the eight words "The God of Ming War, Invincible" written by himself last night, Lao Zhu suddenly felt a burning pain in his face, and he really wanted to slap himself a few ears.
"We must chop this guy!"
Lao Zhu said this sentence, gritted his teeth.
‘Pa’!
Old Zhu Di even slapped the table and stood up with a fierce light in his eyes.
"Such a waste, I don't deserve to be my children and grandchildren!"
Among these three Zhu Di, Zhu Laosi, and Zhu Di, only the Yongle period of Lao Zhu Di experienced the real northern expedition to the north of the Mobei region, and the emperor personally fought.
With the power of Emperor Yongle, Mongolia was forcibly tied into three pieces, and the Ming Dynasty's control territory was directly north to Sakhalin Island, and the Nurkandus was established to control the entire northeastern region.
The Oirat and Tatars and Urianha that were divided from Mongolia were unable to eat grass under the power of the old Zhu Di, so they could only eat farts.
The reason why Old Zhu Di worked so hard that he was not willing to fight for his illness and forced himself to launch a northern expedition was to prevent the suffering of the grassland tribe from being harmed by the grassland tribes, and to make these grassland Tartars kneel in front of the Ming Dynasty and sing to conquer.
And Old Zhu Di did do it. In the era of Emperor Yongle, whether it was the Tatar or the Oirat, they could only be grandsons in front of the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to say more.
But how many years have passed, from the 22nd year of Yongle to the 14th year of Zhengtong, and only 20 years have passed. Yongle's power has disappeared, and the offense and defense have completely distant. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty ran to his tent to conquer.
The more I thought about it, the more angry he became. Old Zhu Di punched him again, and the table was almost cracked.
‘Yesen.’
Old Zhu Di noticed what Ji Boying said about Ola Yesen. He remembered that when he was discussing the northern expedition the day before yesterday, his second son mentioned Tuohuan's son who was looking at the eagle Gulang.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a prophecy!
Old Zhu Di made up his mind and waited for the end of the Japanese conquest, he would launch a northern expedition as soon as possible and personally conquer the northern desert.
The purpose of this Northern Expedition was simple. He pressed the Oirat and beat it to death, especially to hammer Tuohuan's son to death and strangle it into the bud.
"Grandpa, it hurts your body..."
Yongle Zhu Zhanji just spoke.
The fierce look of Old Zhu Di's knife-like look scared the Yongle Xiao Zhu so much that his neck shrank.
Although Yongle Xiao Zhu and Hong Xi Xiao Zhu, although these two people were a little embarrassed, they felt a little aggrieved. After all, Zhu Qizhen had not yet been born in the time and space where they were.
But Emperor Xuande lowered his head at this time and did not dare to raise it at all.
Because, he was born.
In his Xuande Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen was not only nine years old, but also had been appointed as the crown prince and almost ascended the throne.
He felt that the eyes of these fathers, grandfathers and great masters in different time and space were all on him.
It seemed like he was just saying: What kind of cannons are you firing randomly? You should have thrown him against the wall back then!
"There are direct and indirect reasons for the Tumu Fort's change."
"Before we officially set out, I will spend some time explaining the indirect reasons to you. This is also the background of the Tumu Fort Incident."
Ji Bo's eyes swept across the crown princes who were still immersed in anger and continued to speak.
He mentioned Tumu Fort not only to arouse their anger, but to allow these emperors and crown princes to see the essence through the changes in Tumu Fort, see the corruption of the system, and then reform and prevent the future, so as to extend the country's destiny.
"The direct reason is Zhu Qizhen."
"And indirect reasons."
Ji Boying's eyes glanced at the two slightly awkward Yongle Xiaozhu and Hong Xi Xiaozhu, and finally fell on Emperor Xuande who was lowering his head.
"It's Zhu Zhanji."
