On April 17 (May 2) of the twentieth year of Emperor Yuan Shun (1360), Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Dynasty, got up early and was named King of Yan.

In December of the 31st year of Hongwu, in order to guard against Zhu Di's rebellion, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen sent Zhang Yu, a servant of the Ministry of Works, as the political envoy of Beiping, and commanded Xie Gui and Zhang Xin to be the commanders of Beiping.

Subsequently, he ordered the governor Song Zhongtun to garrison Kaiping, and transferred the army under the jurisdiction of King Yan in the Northern Plain. Later, he launched the Battle of Jingyan and raised troops to attack Emperor Jianwen.

In 1402, he ascended the throne in Nanjing and changed his name to Yongle. During Zhu Di's reign, he reformed the organization, set up a cabinet system, recovered Annam, and set up the Nuer Gandu Division in the northeast, the Hamiwei in the northwest, the Dagu Thorn, the Dimasa, and the Diwu Thorn in the southwest, and the Guizhou Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, which consolidated the border defense between the north and the south and maintained the integrity of China's territory.

Zheng He was sent to the West many times, which strengthened friendly exchanges between China and foreign countries. At the same time, he also ordered people to edit the "Yongle Canon" and dredge the Grand Canal.

In 1421, the capital was moved to Beijing. During his reign, he will develop from the devastated situation after the Jingjing Disaster to a prosperous era of economic prosperity and strong national strength, which is said in history

"Yongle Shengshi". After Zhu Di died, he was called Titian Hongdao, Gao Ming, Guangyun Shengwu Shengong, Chunren to Emperor Xiaowen, and the temple name was Taizong, and he was buried in Changling.

In the seventeenth year of Jiajing (September 1538, Ming Shizong changed his name to Qitian Hongdao Gaoming Zhaoyun Shengwu Shengong Chunren to Emperor Xiaowen, and changed the temple name to Chengzu.

From the eighth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty to the twenty-second year of Yongle, the power of the Inner Mongolian aristocracy was rampant, and they did not put Zhu Di, the newly enthroned Ming Chengzu, in their eyes.

Inner Mongolia believes that the Ming Dynasty has just experienced a coup d'état, internal instability, the regime is not completely controlled by the princes and nobles, the country is noisy and chaotic, the people's livelihood is not unified, internal and external troubles, at this time, if the Ming Dynasty is attacked externally, it will be able to make the Ming Dynasty fall and complete the plan of restoring the country and the nation, and at that time, unify the world, trample the Ming Dynasty under its feet, establish the Mongolian regime, and establish the Inner Mongolia Empire.

The Mongols are good at riding and shooting, and they are good at fighting on horseback. Moreover, the Mongols are a people who live on horseback, they are good at warfare, it can be said that war is a way of life of the Mongols, and it seems that in ancient times, the Mongols have been accustomed to and acquiesced in this way of life.

After the Ming Dynasty defeated the Yuan army, the Yuan army retreated to the desert as a whole. However, all along, for various reasons, the existence of this nation has been preserved, and Ming Chaohai recognized his existence.

Just imagine, from the day you defeated the Yuan Dynasty, from the day you drove the Yuan Dynasty back to the desert, from the day you snatched the power back from the Yuan Dynasty, not only can you not destroy him, you have to always admit the existence of this nation, but at this time, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty have long been unable to bear it, so that this nation has always existed, it is undoubtedly a tiger returning to the mountains and raising tigers.

Indirectly, this war with the Yuan Dynasty can be said to have not won so completely, nor did it win so beautifully, a war is nothing more than for the country, for gold and silver treasures, and for beauties.

However, all this seems to belong to us in the Ming Dynasty, and we just took back what belonged to us, and did not get any other benefits and private interests.

This is undoubtedly humiliating and humiliating, which makes us, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, recapture the Jiangshang, but how to explain to the people, how to explain to the dead ancestors and ancestors?

The internal rulers of the Ming Dynasty began to think about these questions. They begin to feel as if they've just taken back what they've had over the years.

Otherwise, it would be a humiliation and a failure. In the hearts of the Mongols, they seem to be planning how to enter the Central Plains again, how to conquer the Han nation again, rule the subjects of the Han nation again, and rerealize the Mongol Empire they were back then.

However, after years of war, not all Mongols think like this, and some of them support the unification of the Han nation, and they do not want to start a war, they just want to live the days of Trojan horses and sheep.

Therefore, the supporters and reactionaries also confronted each other in this way, looking for an opportunity to not only take power within their own Mongols in one fell swoop, but also to attack the Ming Dynasty and unify China on a large scale.

At this time, the Northern Yuan Dynasty of Mongolia was in turmoil because of the usurpation of power in Western Mongolia, and the main leaders of Western Mongolia declared themselves vassals to Ming Chengzu, and the three leaders of Mahamu, Taiping and Polo of Oirat all accepted the canonization of Ming Chengzu and became the king of Shunning, the king of Xianyi, and the king of Anle.

But that was just to get a reward and use it to fight against the Northern Yuan Khan court controlled by Arutai. The Mongolian headquarters was weak in the Golden Family, so the Ming Dynasty claimed that the Yuan had automatically abandoned the national name, and deliberately called the Northern Yuan of Mongolia the Warat and the Tatar Division.

Varat is clearly yes

The transliteration of "Oirat", this is Western Mongolia. The Oirats first lived in the basin of Lake Baikal, Kusupo and the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, where they lived by hunting.

They all belong to the general name

"People of the Forest". At the beginning of the thirteenth century, it was attached to Genghis Khan. In the early days, they lived in northern Xinjiang and western Mongolia, and it is not wrong to see the border between Russia and present-day Kazakhstan on the map, but they had undergone complex changes, blending many Mongol and Turkic tribes, and each tribe was also on the move.

For all these reasons, war seems to be imminent. Oirat and other related tribes were only related to the Genghis Khan family by marriage, not directly subordinate to him, so although they were important in terms of military status and economic status, they were very different from the tribes of the Golden Family in Mongolia proper, and thus became the main factor of instability in the Mongolian region.

Ali Buge, Haidu and others competed with Kublai Khan for the throne, including with the help of the power of the Oirat tribes, they were also very strong in the early days of the Northern Yuan regime, led the abolition of several khans, and killed almost no one of the members of the Golden Family, so it caused great opposition among the Mongolian tribes.

The other Mongol tribes were merciless in their battles against them, so they did not stop the Qing from destroying the Dzungar regime, but instead helped the Qing army, which is inseparable from their historical fear and anger against the Oirat Mongol tribes.

At this time, the contradictions have long been numerous, very serious, and sometimes when human words cannot solve things, only by force, force is the best and most direct way to solve everything.

Thus, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di began his journey to Mongolia...... The autumn wind is bleak, the waves are surging, all of them are so depressed and depressed, I can no longer hear the cry of the knowing, I can no longer hear the cry of the nightingale, I can no longer see the flowers blooming, there is no longer the tall light of the scorching sun on this vast land, the green grass is gone, even the geese are gone, everything is filled with the breath of death, everything is filled with the breath of destruction, everything is shrouded in the dark and terrifying atmosphere.

The sky glows softly, clear and ethereal, making one want to hear the singing of a high-flying lark, just as looking at the blue sea and thinking of a white sail.

The sunset is the wings of time, and when it flies away, there is a moment of extremely brilliant unfolding. So twilight.

The clear sky at the end of late autumn is like an endless calm blue sea, the intense white light beats in the air like the microwave of the sea, the sorghum at the foot of the mountain sways its plump ears like fluctuating red water, and the yellowed leaves give the fields a withered color.

What a bright autumn, here, no longer scorched earth and ashes, this is a vigorous land where thousands of mountain winds are draped in red carpets.

The red pine, covered with elastic skin, is still alive, standing proudly on the high mountain rocks, the whistle is jubilant in the valley, and Bai Wang is flying slowly in the rice fields.

When the fierce west wind paints the sky higher and higher, when the child who calls his head on the Mo Shang looks at the last southern flying goose, when the boundless grass of the vast field is swayed and yellow—at this time, it is autumn, it is the season of trees and leaves, there is a blank inside and outside the Guanhe, and there is also a depressed smell outside the Great Wall.

At this time, although the Mongols no longer had enough strength to recapture the dynasty that once belonged to them, they still put a lot of pressure on the frontiers of the Ming Dynasty.

In the ninth year of Yongle, the Mongols executed an envoy sent by Zhu Di, which was considered the greatest humiliation to the Ming Dynasty, and then the general Qiu Fu and several high-ranking generals were killed in the battle against the Mongols.

This made Zhu Di very angry, and in the tenth year of Yongle (1412), Zhu Di personally led an army of 300,000 to conquer Mobei, which opened the prelude to the five expeditions to Mobei during the Yongle period.

Although the first expedition did not achieve complete victory, it drove the Mongols far away, and five months later Zhu Di's division returned to Nanjing.

In the twelfth year of Yongle, Zhu Di personally conquered again, and the four-month battle severely damaged the Mongol army, but the Ming army also paid a heavy price.

Originally, the other leader of the Mongols had always maintained a tributary trade relationship with the Ming Dynasty, but with the Ming army's conquest of the Mongols, Arutai gained a wider space for development, and gradually expressed dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di then prepared for a third personal expedition in 1421, but was met with unusually strong opposition from some ministers, arguing that military spending had overwhelmed the treasury.

Zhu Di, immersed in the success of the first two expeditions, was reluctant to stop the expedition because of financial problems, and his military attachés also supported the expedition because they needed military merit to get promoted.

Zhu Di himself can be regarded as an excellent general, and the most basic criterion for evaluating military attachés during the Yongle period is how good his military merits are, and he has always given preferential treatment to those soldiers who can win on the battlefield.

Among the officials of his vassal, military generals accounted for most of them, including many Mongolian military generals, and on the battlefield, these generals were also brave and brave, and the war dead even included Zhu Di's horses.

In the game between the emperor and his civil system, the balance of victory undoubtedly belongs to the former. Xia Yuanji was dismissed from his official position and imprisoned, and Xia's deputy, Fang Bin, was even forced to commit suicide.

The third expedition in April 1422 was victorious, and Zhu Di spent five months driving Arutai to Outer Mongolia.

The fourth expedition of the following year was futile, as Arutai lost a battle with the Warats and fled to the depths of the desert.

In April 1424, Zhu Di led his troops on his fifth personal expedition, which failed to reach the Great Tent of Arutai, and some generals asked for a month's worth of food and grass to enable them to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory, but Zhu Di refused.

On the way back to Beijing, on August 12, Zhu Dibintian, who had fought for most of his life. It is said that before he died, Zhu Di remembered Xia Yuanji who was in prison and said: "Xia Yuanji is still the best for me." Perhaps this is just a rumor from later generations, and as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he immediately released Xia Yuanji, and the official was reinstated.

After pacifying the civil strife, Zhu Di took control of the domestic situation, and went to Mongolia five times, so that Mongolia no longer had the heart of rebellion, inside and outside the Guanhe River, a peaceful and prosperous era can be regarded as the beginning.
