Chapter 259 [Yingzong Captured]
On August 18th, the king of Warat Taishi Huai sent an envoy to the Ming army's big account to pretend to negotiate peace with them, in order to paralyze the great tomorrow, the Ming Si Li Supervisor Zhangyin eunuch saw the Wara envoy come to negotiate, he was overjoyed and did not distinguish the truth from the false, and agreed with his mouth, and asked Ming Yingzong to send the Ming Hanlin Academy scholar to be responsible for drafting the edict, and also sent two people to negotiate specific peace matters in the Wara military camp.
In the process of negotiations, in order to confuse the Ming army, King Huai pretended to retreat and deliberately gave up the river water south of Tumubao, and secretly set up an ambush, only waiting for the opportunity of the Ming army to fight for water.
After the hungry and thirsty soldiers got the order, they rushed to the river one after another, just as the Ming army rushed to run around, the tile spur cavalry took the opportunity to kill the artillery array, fire array, and chariot array that broke down the three major battalions of the Beijing army, causing the Ming army to be defeated and instantly fell into the siege!
Ming Yingzong panicked and the cavalry rushed left and right, but there were figures of the Ming army and the Wara army fighting everywhere, Ming Ying Gong: Zhang Fu, Ming Tai Ninghou: Chen Ying, Ming Jiaxing eldest princess and horse Duwei: Jing Yuan, Ming Ping Xiangbo: Chen Huai, Ming Xiangcheng Bo: Li Zhen, Ming Sui Anbo: Chen Xun, Ming Xiu Wubo: Shen Rong, Ming Daning Du Commander: Liang Cheng, Ming Wude General: Wang Jian, Ming Hubu Shangshu: Wang Zuo, Ming Bing Shangshu: Kuang Yi, Ming Han Forestry Academy Scholar: Cao Nai, Ming Wenyuan University Scholar: Zhang Yi, Ming Criminal Department Right Waiter: Ding Xuan, The right attendant of the Ming Ministry of Industry: Wang Yonghe, the right deputy capital of the Ming Imperial Palace: Deng Di, Ming Qin Tianjian Zheng: Peng Deqing, and other ministers all died in the chaos!
During the fierce battle, the commander of the Ming Wuteng Left Guard: Fan Zhong, after holding a double hammer to repel a few barbarian soldiers from the north of Wara, he saw the Ming Si Rite Supervisor who was frightened and ready to escape: Wang Zhen, angry, he immediately rushed up and grabbed the Ming Si Rite Eunuch Palm Seal, and scolded, "Wang Zhen old thief, you are a traitor who misled the country, and buried my 200,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, your crimes are monstrous, I can't spare you today, I want to punish this evil thief for the world!" ”
After saying that, the commander of Ming Wuteng's left guard directly swung the double hammer and smashed the eunuch of Ming Si Li's palm seal to death, and continued to fight into the enemy army until the blood-stained waist armor was killed!
Then the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Fusi of the Nanbei Town of the Ming Dynasty: Yuan Bin, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Fusi of the Nanbei Town of the Ming Dynasty: Ha Ming, the two of them also took their Jinyi guards to protect His Majesty the Emperor from any enemy approach, but this suddenly made Ming Yingzong feel that there was no hope of breaking through! He simply jumped off his horse and sat cross-legged facing south, waiting to be bound.
In the chaos, the Ming priest and eunuch: Xining (Haixi Jurchen) was captured by the Wara army and surrendered to the Wara Taishi Huai Wang, and informed the current Ming Empire's defense and national strength of major military news.
After a while, the brocade guards were all killed! And the commander of the Ming Nanbei Town Fu Si Jinyi Wei and the Ming Nanbei Town Fu Si Jin Yiwei Commander were captured, and the tile spur soldiers began to rush up, and a soldier stepped forward to strip Ming Yingzong's armor, but when he saw that his armor was different, he knew that he was not an ordinary person? So he escorted him to see the king of Warat's Taishihuai: Gulos Yexian, and his second brother Varat Saikan King: Ross Sain Polo, as soon as he saw Ming Yingzong, he first asked, "Who are you?" Is it also first? Or Boyan Timur? Or Sain Polo? Or Bodu? ”
This makes the King of Warat Journals wonder! Under the translation of Tongshi and his own understanding of a few sentences of Daming Jianghuai official dialect, he felt that this person spoke in a very loud tone, so he immediately went to report to his brother.
This matter was known to King Huai, the Taishi of Wara, and he sent the Ming Si Rite Eunuch who stayed in the Wara Army: Xining, to identify him to know that he was His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow, and then let him serve Ming Yingzong to accompany him, so the emperor of the Ming Empire was captured by the Wara army, and the three major battalions of the Beijing army and the Ming army were defeated! Only a very small number of people escaped and survived, and most of the accompanying palace maids and eunuchs were insulted to death! It is known in history as "The Change of Civil Fort".
On August 16th, the king of Warattaishihuai: Gulos Yexian, and the eldest brother Vara Pingzhang political affairs: Gulos Boyan Timur, the second brother of Varat Saikan King: Ross Sain Polo, and the third brother Varat Datong King: Pyros Bodu, after discussion, decided to let Ming Yingzong write a letter to Jingshi to inform him of the situation, so that the court could prepare a ransom.
So the obedient Ming Yingzong asked the commander of the Ming Nanbei Town Fusi Jinyiwei to write a letter, and sent a letter to the Ming Jinwu Right Guard Qianhu: Liang Gui, and sent a letter to Huailaiwei to let the defenders convey the news of their capture, so the defeat spread all the way to the Beijing division, and the Chinese military officials all lowered their headaches and cried after hearing the news! The Empress Dowager of Ming Sun and Empress Ming Qian learned that the barbarians in Wara Beiyu wanted a ransom, so they collected treasures and silk from all over the palace and sent them to the Wara military camp so that they could redeem Ming Yingzong.
On August 18, the Empress Dowager of Mingsun ordered His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Emperor to deal with the government in Beijing, and the younger brother of Prince Mingyu: Zhu Qiyu, who was in charge of the country, to convene the ministers to discuss the strategy of war and defense.
At that time, there were less than 100,000 mobile troops and war horses in Beijing, and the morale was low and the people were panicked. ”
However, the Ming Rites Department Shangshu: Hu Hu, but he strongly dissuaded him and thought that it was impossible, and said, "Since Emperor Taizong Yonglewen was buried here, it has been said that the descendants cannot be moved." ”
But Yu Qian, the left attendant of the Ming Army, said sharply, "Those who move south can be killed!" Jingshi is the fundamental place in the world, and if you move, the big thing has gone, and you have never seen Song Nandu? The top priority should be to quickly gather the army of King Qin and swear to defend the frontier. ”
This move was obtained by the Ming Ministry of Shangshu: Wang Zhi, the right attendant of the Ming Household Department: Chen Xun, and so on all agreed with this statement, especially the Ming Si Rite Eunuch: Xing'an, and the Ming Nanjing Garrison Eunuch: Jin Ying, all said to the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty, "If you go, who will guard the mausoleum?" For the sake of the anger of the Ming Hanlin Academy, it was decided that the military and civilians throughout the country were determined to defend the border.
On August 19th, some soldiers and civilians suggested burning the Tongzhou Sanwei granary to prevent Wara from plundering the grain in the south, which happened to be the Ming Yingtian Governor: Zhou Chen, who was inspecting Beijing, learned of the situation and asked the Prince of Ming Yu to supervise the national road, "There are millions of stones of rice in the Tongzhou Sanwei granary, which can be used for a year's salary of the Beijing army, and it is a pity to abandon it!" It is better to let the officers and soldiers take it themselves. ”
At this point, Zuo Shilang of the Ming Military Department thought that it was okay, so he immediately asked the prince of the Ming Dynasty to order the Beijing army and the sergeants to carry the grain to the Beijing division to give a heavy reward, and also moved the Sanwei granary of Tongzhou to the Beijing division, and commanded the envoy to prepare the army in the north and south, Henan and Henan, Shandong and Zhejiang, and the coastal army, Fujian Xingdu commanded the infantry of the envoy, Guangxi commanded the wolf soldiers, and the grain transportation army of the northern Zhili provinces rushed to Beijing to guard, so the Beijing division began to have food to make people feel at ease.
At the same time, the king of Wara Taishi Huai went south to escort His Majesty the Ming Emperor back to Beijing and commanded the envoy Sixuanfu Town, and then let Ming Yingzong order the guards to open the city gate, and someone in the city replied, "What we are holding on to is Your Majesty's city, and we dare not open the city gate when it is dark, and Yang Zongbing is not here, so I will forgive my fate!" ”
At that time, the Ming general doctor and the right deputy of the Imperial Palace: Luo Hengxin, sitting by the moat under the city with a sword, strictly ordered the soldiers to declare, "Those who dare to go out of the city will be killed!" ”
This made the Wara Taishi Huai Wang know that it was unshakable and led the troops away, but at the suggestion of the surrender of the Ming Si Rite Eunuch: Xi Ning, he hijacked Ming Yingzong to Shanxi Xingdu to command the envoy Datong Mansion Datong Town to ask the defenders for bribes, and Ming Xixingdu commanded the secretary and the general army of Datong Town: Guo Deng, closed the door.
Ming Yingzong and Wara Taishi Huai Wang were angry, and let Ming Yingzong take Ming Yingzong under the city to command the Ming Xixing Commander and say, "I and Guo Deng have always been in-laws, why do you refuse me now?" ”
The commander of the western capital of the Ming Dynasty replied: "The minister is ordered to defend the city, and he does not dare to open the city gate without authorization!" Please atone for your sins! ”
However, the Wara cavalry under the city and the Warat Taishi Huai Wang were very anxious, so that the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Nanbei Town, Yuan Bin, hit the head of the moat and shouted to open the door, forcing the commander of the Ming Dynasty to hurriedly order the soldiers to ride over, wave the flag, and order the suspension bridge to cross the moat.
Subsequently, the Ming Dynasty went west to the command of the minister: Guo Deng, and the Ming Guang Ningbo: Liu An, the Ming Bingke gave the matter: Sun Xiang, the Ming Datong prefect: Huo Xuan, and other ministers went out of the city to greet Ming Yingzong and wept on the ground, and with 20,000 taels of gold and Ming Xianning princess and horse commander and Xining Marquis: Song Ying, Ming Wujin Bo: Zhu Mian, Ming Datong Supervisor: Guo Jing, the family assets were dedicated to Ming Yingzong, and they were confiscated by the King of Wara, so Wara retreated.
On August 23, in the Forbidden City of Gyeonggi in Beizhili, Prince Ming Yu supervised the country: Zhu Qiyu, the early dynasty moved to the left gate of the imperial noon gate, and the Ming capital inspected the right capital of the imperial history: Chen Yi, and the ministers said, "Today, Wang Zhen is in danger of the country's society and has fallen into danger for His Majesty the Emperor, please punish Wang Zhen's family to calm the hearts of the army and the people." ”
However, Prince Ming said: "This matter can only be done by His Majesty's will!" ”
caused all the officials to fall to the ground and cry bitterly, and said, "Wang Zhen's crime cannot be punished, if His Royal Highness the prison country does not immediately punish and exterminate his race, then we will all die in this court today." ”
Even the left long history of the Ming Emperor's Mansion: Yi Ming, also knelt down and walked in front, and was commanded by Wang Zhenzhi's henchman Ming Nanbei Zhenfu Si Jinyiwei Tongzhi: Ma Shun, retreated, Ming Hu Branch gave the matter: Wang Hong, angry and Ming Criminal Department gave the matter: Cao Kai, together pulled the hair of the Ming Nanbei Zhenfu Si Jinyi Wei Commander Tongzhi, and bit his arm and scolded angrily, "You used to help Wang cheer up evil, relying on his good fortune, today the matter has come to this, you still dare to do this!" And he and all the people slew him above the court.
Later, he looked for Wang Zhen's henchmen in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty and the town of Fu Si Jinyi Wei Qianhu: Wang Shan, the town of Nanbei of the Ming Dynasty and the town of Fu Si Jin Yiwei Zhen Fu envoy: Mao Gui, the two were garrisoned by the Ming Nanjing garrison eunuch: Jin Ying, and when they saw the matter, they were hurriedly dragged out for everyone to kill, and the three corpses were placed in the Dong'anmen of the imperial city.
After a while, someone escorted Wang Zhenzhi's nephew Ming Nanbei Zhenfu Si Jinyi Wei to command the affairs: Wang Lin, to the anti-binding kneeling on the court was scolded by the ministers, and for a while, the guards outside the noon gate could not control the scene and the court was in chaos!
This made Prince Ming Yu, who was sitting in the imperial gate, very frightened and frightened! The secretary of the Ming Army: Yu Qian, immediately stepped forward to straighten his body, and asked Prince Ming to supervise the country and proclaim a hundred officials.
Prince Ming Yu conformed to the meaning of the hundred officials and said: "Ma Shun and others deserve death for their crimes, but not for the crimes of others." ”
Only then did everyone gradually subside, and he asked for an order to behead Wang Zhen's people, both young and old, and did not have his family to get sixty treasury of gold and silver, hundreds of jade plates, a total of twenty corals six or seven feet high, and countless other treasures and antiquities.
Soon, the eunuch of the Ming Datong Prison Army: Guo Jing, from Shanxi Xingdu commanded the envoy to Datong Town, Datong Prefecture, and fled back, and was joined by the imperial court without his family to be the warden of the prison department, due to the sudden incident, the Ming Soldier Department Shangshu was in danger and calmly commanded Wang Zhen's henchmen to be ambushed, and when he walked out of the Zuoye Gate, the Ming Officials Department Shangshu: Wang Zhi, the Ming Military Department Shangshu said, "The country needs to rely on ministers like you in order to be safe and stable in the Jiangshan Society." ”
