"The emperor's favor for the eunuchs led to the tyrannical power of the eunuchs. At that time, if the minister wanted to see Zhu Qizhen, he had to give Wang Zhen's father-in-law a gift, if Wang Zhen felt that the gift was okay, the minister would be able to meet the emperor smoothly, if he felt that the gift was not valuable enough, let alone wanted to see the emperor, the minister would be thrown out directly, because of this gift, some local officials could not see the emperor once in a few years. ”

When a local official reported that Warat often harassed the people of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Wang Zhen knew about it, and he ran over to encourage Zhu Qizhen and said to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, in order to prove your ability as soon as possible, I suggest that you personally lead the army to conquer Warat." ”

At that time, Zhu Qizhen was in his twenties, and it was an era of strong blood. After listening to Wang Zhen's suggestion, he ignored the opposition of his ministers and wanted to emulate his father Zhu Zhanji to make contributions on the battlefield. But this Zhu Qizhen may have been inflated as an emperor, he doesn't know how to fight at all, and he doesn't know the art of war, but he still has to drive the expedition in person. ”

"The emperor is bent on personally leading troops to conquer Warat, and the ministers can't stop it, what if they can't stop it? had to let Zhu Qizhen come by temperament. ”

In this way, Zhu Qizhen gathered 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty and began to march. Later, when the Ming army was defenseless, Wara also led people to attack decisively, Zhu Qizhen panicked directly when he saw this sudden attack, and desperately shouted for protection, resulting in a fiasco of the Ming army, losing 200,000 elites, and dozens of civil and military officials who followed were all martyred, known as the Battle of Tumubao. Zhu Qizhen's First World War wiped out all the savings saved by generations of the Ming Dynasty, which is why later generations affectionately called him the "God of War of the Ming Dynasty". ”

"In this battle, the elite of the Central Army of the Ming Army who followed Ming Yingzong on the expedition was annihilated, and the loss of the firearms battalion directly affected the future development process of firearms in the Ming Dynasty."

Before the "Tumubao Change", the Ming Dynasty weakened the armed forces of the steppe nomads after many northern expeditions during the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, and adopted a strategic posture of active defense against the steppe nomads. ”

After the "Tumubao Change", the Ming Dynasty contracted the defensive line, almost all the military bases outside the Great Wall were lost, and the Great Wall became the "first line", once it was broken through, it would face a passive situation, and almost lost the initiative to attack, which directly led to the Ming Dynasty moving towards conservatism and focusing inward, directly from active defense to passive defense. ”

The "Tumubao Change" was a sudden disaster for the Ming Dynasty, and even the emperor was captured by the enemy. The emperor was captured, Wara used Ming Yingzong to knock on the internal invasion, and at a critical juncture, the Ming Dynasty under the leadership of Yu Qian elected Zhu Qizhen's younger brother Zhu Qiyu as the new emperor. ”

Originally, Zhu Qiyu was just a vassal king, and the throne was not his turn, and the "Tumubao Change" allowed him to ascend the throne, but this person did have great virtue, and when the tile spur was about to destroy the imperial city, he reused his talents and forcibly redeemed the Ming Dynasty. ”

Originally, the matter came to an end, but who knew that Zhu Qiyu, who succeeded to the throne, was seriously ill, so Zhu Qizhen once again had some thoughts, and some officials who were not taken seriously, in order to get the merit of the dragon, wanted to re-establish Zhu Qizhen as the emperor, and launched the "change of seizing the door". ”

Zhu Qiyu unexpectedly succeeded to the throne caused by the "Tumubao Change", and after the change of seizing the door, Zhu Qizhen became the emperor again, and the two abnormal changes of the emperor directly affected the stability of the court, caused turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, and had a far-reaching impact on the Ming Dynasty. The various consequences caused by the "Tumubao Change" made the Ming Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline. ”

After Zhu Qizhen became the emperor again, he began to operate outrageously, first building a monument and a tomb for Wang Zhen, a ridiculous "general", and building a temple, and even listening to slander and killing Yu Qian, who renewed the national honor for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dark, what? Did he hear it wrong and kill Yu Qian?

Cao Cao: A "gelding dog" is called a general, and he really knows how to play.

Kangxi: Yu Qian is a talent, he has not had an accident after four dynasties, and when he arrived at Emperor Yingming of the Ming Dynasty, he was directly killed.

Ying Zheng: This is on par with the one in the Song Dynasty, another one who was captured by a foreign race, this is the third one.

Zhu Yuanzhang: The fourth child is to blame you!

Zhu Di: What's the matter with me?

Zhu Yuanzhang: This is not your descendants, if it weren't for you to take the throne, Daming would have come up with such a thing.

Zhu Di: Hmph, if I hadn't succeeded to the throne, this Ming Dynasty would have died like the Qin Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao: Emperor Yongle is right.

Zhu Youzhen: I also think that's right.

Kangxi: Indeed, if the Yongle Emperor does not seize the throne, this Ming Dynasty should be destroyed in the hands of Zhu Yunwen.

"A series of coups d'état caused by Emperor Ying of the Ming Dynasty led to the weakening of the Ming Dynasty, although there were several Ming emperors behind them, trying to turn the tide and improve a little, but the prosperity of the early Ming Dynasty was difficult to recover."

"To the last generation of emperor Zhu Youzhen, this is for the benevolent monarch, Zhu Youzhen succeeded to the throne and vigorously eradicated the eunuch party, after that, more than 260 eunuchs were either executed, or sent to war, or imprisoned for life, so that the arrogant eunuch party suffered a fatal blow. Redress the wrongs and reactivate the officials who were deposed during the Apocalypse. Yuan Chonghuan was appointed as the secretary of the military department, gave Shang Fang the sword, and entrusted him with the important task of recovering the whole of Liao. ”

"Diligent in political affairs, frugal in life, once six guilty of his own edict, is a young and promising emperor, but during the reign of the outbreak of peasant uprisings, the Jin regime outside the Guanwai Dynasty is eyeing the tiger, the Ming Dynasty has been in a situation of internal and external troubles."

"Hannan Xujun Chronicles" once recorded, "In the first year of Chongzhen, the whole Shaanxi sky was as red as blood. Five years of great famine, six years of great floods, seven years of autumn locusts and great famine, eight years of drought in Xixiang in September, slightly sunny and waterlogged, all the houses are gone. Nine years of drought locusts, ten years of autumn crops are completely gone, and eleven years of summer locusts cover the sky...... Thirteen years of drought...... Fourteen years of drought". Since the Chongzhen Dynasty, there has been a major drought in Shaanxi every year, and many people have been displaced.

"In the third year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi was hungry, and Ma Maocai, the governor of Shaanxi, said in "Beichen Great Hunger" that the people fought for the grass in the mountain, and after the grass was eaten, the bark was peeled and eaten, and the bark was eaten, and the bark could only be eaten Guanyin soil, and finally died of bloating."

"In the sixth year of Chongzhen, "the drought locusts in Shaanxi, Yaozhou, Chengcheng County, more than half of the people died. ”

"In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Shunde Mansion, Hejian Mansion and Daimyofu all had a major epidemic, and it was an epidemic of virulent infectious diseases, "plague infection, people died eight or nine", the epidemic spread for more than a year, and there was plague, almost every day there were hundreds of deaths, many families, this plague to plague, contagion for three years, resulting in almost half of the deaths in each city. ”
