It's just that the arrival of Warat changed everything. According to the past practice, Warat would pay tribute to the Ming every year, and the Ming would set a price for the horses, and then give the same amount of money, of course, some additional rewards. Because of Wang Zhen, the price is often outrageously high. Warat liked the reward of the Ming Dynasty too much, and this time, he gave away 3,000 horses, but pretended to be 5,000, and traveled 2,000 people, pretending to be 3,000 people. Of course, the gift to Wang Zhen is still the same as always. I don't know if Wang Zhen was hot-headed, or he woke up, while receiving bribes from Wara, on the other hand, he asked people to strictly count the number of horses and personnel sent by Wara, and at the same time lowered the price of horses and lowered the reward, which undoubtedly broke Warat's dream of receiving rewards.

He was also angry and sent someone to question Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen was furious, Lao Tzu ate your benefits, what can you do? Not only did he not give the Warat envoy a good face, but he even ordered the closing of the transaction between the two sides.

Wars have always come for trade, and no matter how much land is occupied, food comes first. So, the roaring warriors, led by the furious Yexian, divided their troops and began to attack the border defense of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Zhen has been in power for many years, as if he was already the "fake emperor" of the Ming Dynasty, and in the eyes of some people, the so-called national affairs are not as important as watching a person slowly fall. The Ming army's years of Shen Ke led to constant defeats. And the defeat of the Bianting was a big thing and a small thing. Although the urgent documents at the border began to be reported to the imperial court, there was no news of them afterward. The court was quiet, even terrifyingly quiet. It looks like the ministers who are only promised, and they intertwine their eyes with each other, intentionally or unintentionally, and they know what is going on in the side court! The emperor and Wang Zhen noticed it, but they couldn't know the result. The hot-headed Wang Zhen instigated the emperor to go to war, on the one hand, he first sent a horse to lead the army, and sent a eunuch as a supervisor to investigate in person. On the one hand, he felt that everyone was unreliable, and decided to drive the expedition himself. Wang Zhen was a Confucian at best, the emperor was a young man, two naïve people, thinking that a single order could be used to establish a world-famous feat, but I don't know how many people are gone.

On August 17, the autumn rain continued, and the emperor drove from the capital to Xuanfu. Previously, the civil officials were still worried about the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor drove the expedition in person, which was child's play! The civil officials kept asking the emperor not to go on the expedition, and even knelt in the rain and begged the emperor to stay, but Wang Zhen sternly refused, and he felt more and more that the civil officials were tired, and he thought that he would come back to clean up these civil officials when he pacified Wara.

After the army arrived at Xuanfu, it did not stay too long, and continued to drive the next day, and did not encounter a single Mongol along the way, and the emperor and Wang Zhen were very happy, and even thought that it was the news of their own imperial expedition, which made Wara frightened. The 19th was safe and sound, but there was no news of the horses that had gone out before, the emperor thought that the horses were deep into the land, early in the morning of the 20th, the car was about to be driven, and the eunuchs who had been sent to do the supervision ran to the front of the imperial camp, and informed the ferocity of Wara, as well as the previous defeat of the Ming army, he was lying in the grass, only to save his life, the emperor and Wang Zhen were surprised, at this time, Xuanfu sent someone to report that the Wara army followed behind the large army, ready to attack the Ming army. The emperor decided to stop the battle, and he sent Wu Kezhong, the Marquis of Gongshun, to lead his men and horses to meet the enemy behind. As a result, Wu Kezhong fought with all his might, and the whole army was annihilated. In the evening, the news of defeat came, the emperor and Wang Zhen were shocked, and sent Zhu Yong, the prince of Chengguo, and Xue Shou of Yongshun to lead the army of 40,000 to it.

It was very sudden and very bizarre. An emperor, marching on his own land, but also a military town, north is the Great Wall fortress, behind is the Xuanda town, there was no outpost battle before, there was no wolf smoke warning, in the place where it was only a day's journey away from the important town of Xuanfu, the emperor's army was attacked by the northern cavalry! Xuanda didn't take any action except for sending someone to tell the emperor: There are people and horses that are fighting your rear army!

And this is not a small-scale attack, this is a large-scale attack by enemy forces! And the emperor sent is not incompetent, Zhu Yong is a general, his father is the famous Zhu Neng, has rich experience in fighting nomadic cavalry, and must teach by example. And Zhu Yong is the military teacher of the sons and daughters of the nobles in the capital, there is no problem with his ability, he led 40,000 horses and died in a battle. The Wu Kezhong brothers, who were destroyed in the first wave, also fought to the final death, and did not collapse at the touch of a button. This shows that what they encountered was the elite main force of the Yexian Army, and the scale was not small, at least more than 10,000 people.

When I arrived at Tumu Fort the next day, I found that the water source had been cut off by the Yexian army! What does this mean! I also know the situation in the Xuanda area well! Either there is a mole, or they often come and go here, just like their own backyard! The elite of the first one continuously annihilated the Ming army behind them, and at the same time, a large number of Warat, which at least made the Ming army unable to disperse for a while, occupied the water source. What does this mean: the emperor was actually surrounded first!

The 200,000 Ming troops were cramped in the civil fort within a radius of less than ten miles, and what was even more terrifying was that there was no water ten meters underground in the civil fort! Not far away was the Warat army, which controlled the water source but did not attack.

The young emperor was flustered, Wang Zhen was also flustered, and the two people who insisted on going their own way encountered the biggest problem in life. This is the land of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no support army. They don't understand why, they just think hard about how to get out of the sea of suffering. A day passed, the hungry and thirsty Ming army almost lost its combat effectiveness, and the Warats threw out the hydrangea of peace talks. The emperor no longer had the courage to go on a campaign, and he agreed to come down.

The next day, the Ming army really found that the Warat army had retreated, and the peace talks were successful!? The Ming army swarmed out and went directly to find the river, and many of them drank the last bowl of water in their lives, and the Warat people were killed!

Without resistance, without consciousness, most of the Ming army was captured and even killed. Before the massacre, the Warats shouted: Disarm and surrender!

The Ming army did not resist, including those princes, but the massacre of the Warat people still began, and a third of them died, including sixty-six ministers of the court!

The emperor may have seen through life and death, sitting on the ground, his pro-army, that is, the Jinyi Guard, tried his best to resist the swarming Warat army, and the number of pro-army was only 300 people, and people kept falling, and the angry general Fan Zhong shouted: I will kill this thief for the world! Killed Wang Zhen. Immediately, he led the remnants of the pro-army and the swarming Warat army to fight, and almost all the army was wiped out. The Emperor is captured! It's for the change of civil engineering!

Lin Sheng said slowly, we listened quietly, and the scene at that time appeared in my mind from time to time, the fierce and vicious Warat soldiers galloped wildly, killing the Ming army who gave up resistance, and those courtiers who were usually arrogant fell in a pool of blood.

The emperor was captured, and it was a great shame!

Yin Zhou listened, thoughtfully, and said: "Brother Lin's words, I can hear that there is something in the words!" That Wang Zhen was arrogant at that time, and he regarded the ministers of the court and the central government as a mustard, and there were many people who wanted to deal with it quickly, but if he dared to hand over the emperor to the enemy, I am afraid that ordinary people would not have the courage to do so. If it weren't for his detour, the emperor would not have been caught, you know, Tumubao is at most a day's journey from Huailai City, but they have stagnated, and I heard that many ministers have begged the car to enter the customs first, but Wang Zhen resolutely refused. ”

Lin Sheng glanced at him and said: "Everyone in the world thinks that it was Wang Zhen's unauthorized diversion that caused Emperor Rui to be captured, do you know that if you go back to Beijing via Ulzhou through Bauhinia Pass, it will be nearly sixty or seventy miles closer than returning to Beijing from Juyong Pass, but it is a pity that you gave up halfway." ”

Batu has been speechless, and when he heard this, he said: "This is indeed the truth, go through Ulzhou to Bauhinia Pass, and then come to the capital, it is indeed closer." ”

Lin Sheng glanced at Batu with a smile and said, "It's still a shrewd businessman, and the road is good!" "When I heard this, my heart was shocked, Lin Sheng told me that they were not merchants at all, but Tatar officials, and as for the difference between Warat and Tatar, it seems to be the name of a Mongolian tribe.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "We Han people have a saying, no profit can not be early. The merchant is like this, he has to calculate the distance. ”

Yin Zhou smiled and said, "Brother Lin, you said that Wang Zhen gave up halfway, then when he arrives in his arms, he should let the emperor enter the city quickly, instead of stagnating." Lin Sheng sighed heavily and said: "At this moment, the Ming army is already in chaos, imagine that this is the inner Great Wall, the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but there are no reinforcements, and the Warat people are in all directions, sneaking attacks from time to time." Everyone is cautious and cautious, and they dare not leave the team without permission, in case Huailai City falls into the hands of the Warat people, will they not be caught in the net. I think they also miscalculated, so that the next day the whole army was wiped out. Facts have also proved that Huailai City has already fallen, and it was foggy at that time, but unfortunately these people were still in the dark, desperately rushing to this side, and walked most of the way before they knew the news! ”
