In the nineteenth year of Yongle, after moving the capital to Beijing, the Yongle Emperor revoked the Daning Zhuwei. The northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty moved hundreds of miles south. The Mongol aristocracy took the opportunity to expand their power, and was divided into three major tribes, Warat, Tatar, and Uliangha, competing with each other for supremacy.

In the fourth year of orthodoxy, the leader of the Warat tribe also took the throne first, becoming the new Warat Taishi, and after also succeeding to the throne, he used force to force the subordinates to submit. When Fang Buli was in power, he didn't dare to act rashly because of Fang Buli's prestige, but since March of the thirteenth year of orthodoxy, after Fang Buli's downfall, Ye Xian's heart that was unwilling to be lonely began to beat. On the surface, he did become more and more submissive, and exchanged tribute with the Ming Dynasty and asked for intermarriage to ensure reconciliation, but secretly he sped on the reality of the Ming Dynasty, looking for opportunities to raise troops, and tried to restore the rule of the Yuan Dynasty.

The general of the Ming Dynasty's northern border town knew that the Wara army was planning to attack south, and repeatedly strengthened the vigilance to prevent danger. However, the eunuch Wang Zhen manipulated the power of the DPRK and tried his best to whitewash the peace, resulting in the deterioration and precariousness of the northern frontier preparations. In the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, he also sent 2,000 people to Beijing to enter the horses, falsely claiming 3,000 in order to fraudulently receive grain. To say that this eunuch is not completely mixed eating and waiting for death, our Wang Zhen Wang Gonggong is an ambitious and determined to learn from Li Xian, who burned the palace of Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia, in Tiandu Mountain, and become a fighter among the eunuchs. After verifying the number of messengers, he ordered the Ministry of Rites to give a reward according to the actual number of people, and cut the price of the Vara Gong horse by four-fifths, and paid only one-fifth of the goods demanded by the Watts. This caused displeasure among the Warat nobles.

In July of the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, he first thought that the time was ripe to attack the Ming, and on the grounds that the Ming court made it difficult for his tribute envoys and broke the marriage contract, he made every effort to attack the Ming in four ways. Ordered to take off the Khan to lead the east road to attack Liaodong, Arazhiyuan led the middle road to attack Xuanfu, and sent another part to the west road to attack Ganzhou, and led the elite cavalry to attack Datong. On July 11, he also led his division to Maoerzhuang and killed Wu Hao, a general of Datong. When the Ming court heard of the defeat, he ordered Song Ying, the governor of Datong, Jing Yuan, the commander of the horses, Zhu Mian, the general of the army, and Shi Heng, the general of the left staff, to lead 10,000 troops out of Yang and Kou to resist.

The Great Wall had not yet been completed at this time, and the imperial expedition had almost become a practice in the Ming court before Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. Yingzong obeyed the eunuch Wang Zhenyan on weekdays, and refused to listen to the repeated admonitions of the civil and military ministers such as Kuang Ye, the secretary of the military department, Yu Qian, the left servant, and Wang Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, and ordered his younger brother Zhu Qiyu to stay in Beijing. On the same day, in the battle of Yanghekou, the Ming army was defeated again, Song Ying, Jingyuan, and Zhu Mian were killed, Shi Heng was defeated and fled to Datong, and Saibei Castle fell one after another. At the same time, the Thorn Department attacked the monolith, broke the Yongning City, and entered the Juyong Pass. The Tokhtobuhua Department besieged the Calm Fort, but was resisted by the Ming army and withdrew from the siege.

On July 16, Yingzong and Wang Zhen hastily led an army of 500,000 to Datong to meet the battle. He was accompanied by more than 100 civil and military officials, including the British official Zhang Fu, the military secretary Kuang Ye, the household secretary Wang Zuo, and the cabinet university scholars Cao Nai and Zhang Yi, but Yingzong did not let them participate in military and political affairs, and handed over all military and political power to Wang Zhen alone. On July 19, on the way to the army, Kuang and other ministers repeatedly asked to return to the division, but they were all refused. July twenty-three, to Xuanfu. On July 24, he also first detected that the main force of the Ming army was going on the expedition, and it was like an ant, and it was difficult to take care of the beginning and the end, so he pretended to be afraid, took the initiative to retreat north, and hid outside the plug, and the Ming army was arrogant, looking for an opportunity to fight. On the twenty-eighth day, the Ming army arrived in Yanghe, and saw corpses all over the field, and the soldiers were terrified.

On the first day of August, when the division arrived in Datong, Wang Zhen saw no trace of the Wara army, and was eager to march north to show off his military might. At this time, Guo Jingmi, the eunuch guarding Datong, reported to Wang Zhen that the Wara army was very sharp, and the Ming army in the north of Datong was defeated. Wang Zhen then decided to return to the division and ordered Liu An to be the general of Datong and Guo Deng to be the general, to guard Datong and cover the eastward retreat of the main force. On the third day of the first month, the Ming army began to return to Beijing from Ulzhou through Bauhinia Pass according to the established route. After forty miles of military marching, Wang Zhen changed the route of the march and ordered the whole army to turn to Xuanfu and return through Juyong Pass.

The soldiers tossed and turned between Xuanfu and Datong, hungry and thirsty. He also first noticed that the Ming army was heading north, and the command was chaotic, so he concluded that it was not a strategy, and immediately changed the ambush strategy, giving full play to the characteristics of the Mongolian cavalry coming and going, flexible and maneuvering, and waving his division to break into the Great Wall and follow the pursuit. On July 13, the Warat army chased after him, and after Gongshun Bo Wu Kezhong and Du Governor Wu Keqin led their troops to break off, they died on the battlefield. Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong and Yongshun Boxue Shou led 50,000 horsemen to come to the rescue, and when they arrived at Harrier Ridge, they died in ambush, and all 50,000 cavalry were annihilated.

On 14 August, the army arrived at Tumubao, a fortress only 20 miles away from Huailai City, because the baggage of more than 1,000 Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles could not arrive as scheduled, Wang Zhen ordered to camp on the spot despite the opposition of hundreds of civil and military officials. The next day, the Wara army besieged Tumubao, the Ming army had to hastily respond to the battle, the British Gong Zhang Fu, Taining Hou Chen Ying, the horse Du Wei Jingyuan, Pingxiang Bo Chen Huai, Xiangcheng Bo Li Zhen, Sui An Bo Chen Xun, Xiu Wu Bo Shen Rong, Du Du Liang Cheng, Wang Gui, Shangshu Wang Zuo, Kuang Ye, cabinet university scholars Cao Nai, Zhang Yi, Shilang Ding Xuan, Wang Yonghe, the right capital of the imperial history Deng Di, etc., all died in battle, Ming Yingzong sat cross-legged, and was soon captured, Wang Zhen was killed by the guard general Fan Zhong with a sledgehammer, Fan Zhong was also killed soon after. More than half of the Ming army died in this battle, and a large number of baggage were plundered first, and only Xiao Weizhen, the right temple of Dali Temple, and Yang Shan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, escaped by chance.

The change of Tumubao was transmitted back to Beijing, and the government and the opposition were shaken. Yu Qian, the squire of the military department, took the opportunity and asked to return to Liaodong to study and not leave. Wang Zhi wanted to defeat Yu Qian's idea on the grounds that Liaodong Road was far away, and the matter was urgent, and he was afraid that it would be too late to ask him to return to Fang. But at this moment, Fang Buli appeared. It turned out that on the day of the army, the Empress Dowager Sun, who had never asked about political affairs, knew that this time her emperor was destroyed by Wang Zhen's eunuch, and maybe even the country was not guaranteed, so she wrote a decree overnight and sent it to Liaodong.

On the day Fang Buli received Yi's order, laughter resounded throughout Shenyang Mansion. Before dawn, the city gate of Liaoyang Mansion opened, and more than a dozen black shadows on horseback galloped towards Jingshi along the official road. When I arrived, I happened to meet the court dispute.

When Fang Bu arrived, all the ministers fell silent. They knew the power of this man, and when the righteousness and orthodoxy of the imperial court blessed him, there was nothing in the world that could stop him.

Ordered in danger, Fang Buli finally became the first prime minister of Zhongshu Province since Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, died more than 40 years ago. Because the original Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was full of Ink Fort, and now the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has no Governor. After the prime minister of Zhongshu Province did not leave the request, he issued an order signed by the governors of the former front, rear, left, and central capitals, and transferred the reserve army of Liangjing and Henan, the reserve army of Shandong and Nanjing, and the grain transportation army of Jiangbei and Beijing to the Beijing division. However, perhaps Fang Buli was old, and he forgot the 50,000 new troops he trained in Liaodong, and maybe he didn't forget, because he ordered the Liaodong New Army to wait for deployment.

Fang Jinglu... No, now it should be Fang Xiang who has returned to the capital and mobilized a large army to settle in the capital, and the people's hearts are decided. Because their past experience tells them that there is nothing in this world that can be difficult to live in Fang Xiangguo. I also received the reinstatement first... No, after being promoted to the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, he originally planned to return to Zhu Qizhen and fight among the monarchs and ministers of the Ming court, but he was a little unwilling and lost a group of fierce generals and elite soldiers.

On the first day of October, about 200,000 troops of Warat attacked the Beijing division in three ways. The 20,000 men and horses of the Eastern Route Army attacked Miyun from the direction of Gubeikou. The 50,000 iron cavalry of the Middle Route Army attacked Juyong Pass from the direction of Xuanfu. The 100,000 troops of the Western Route Army were led by Ye Xian himself, and after holding Zhu Qizhen hostage from Jining through Datong and Yanghe, and capturing Baiyangkou, he waved his army south and approached Bauhinia Pass. After hearing and learning that the Wara army had advanced to the Beijing Division, the Zhongshu Province and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies ordered martial law to the capital.

On the fifth day of the first month of October, the Zhongshu Province and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies jointly issued an edict to the kings to send troops into the guard. On the eighth day of the first month, the prime minister of Zhongshu Province did not leave the orders of Admiral Qian, and the soldiers were all under his control. Liu An and Wang Tong were pardoned and released from prison to assist in guarding Beijing. On the ninth day of the first month, he also arrived at Bauhinia Pass to personally supervise the battle. The eunuch Xi Ning of the Ming Dynasty, who surrendered to the Wara army, was familiar with the defense deployment of the Bauhinia Pass, and guided the Wara army to sneak across the mountains, and attacked the fortified city with his belly and back, and the guards Han Qing and Sun Xiang were killed in battle, and the Bauhinia Pass was breached. The Warat army then marched into Beijing from Bauhinia Pass and Baiyangkou.

On October 11, the Wara army arrived at Xizhimen in Beijing, in a vain attempt to force the Ming Dynasty to surrender with Zhu Qizhen. But he was also unlucky, and one of them was lost, taking Zhu Qizhen's life. also took away the last trump card in his hand.

Just when he was about to withdraw his troops, he learned that his Eastern Route Army was completely wiped out by the Liaodong New Army. Although the Liaodong New Army also lost thousands, this was an unknown blow to Yexian, 20,000 horses were still second, and his most beloved sons and grandsons were still inside. Heartbroken, he lost all his sanity, leaving 30,000 iron cavalry to monitor the movements of the Ming army. He led an army of 70,000 to join the 50,000 iron cavalry of the Middle Route Army and pounced on the new army in Liaodong. In the end, the Warat army left more than 40,000 corpses behind and fled to the desert, and the situation in the desert changed.

However, the Liaodong New Army was not completely undamaged, and in the end, only more than 25,000 people survived to the Beijing Division...

Fang Buli was in power, drew his sword and looked around, but found that he had no enemies, and his heart was at a loss, and he suddenly remembered his old enemy twenty years ago-Huashan faction. Huashan sits on two provinces, and there are countless disciples, in case of rebellion, the consequences are unimaginable. Fang Buli hurriedly asked for the will, with Xue Jian as the governor of the right army, and took charge of the army of the seven capital divisions of Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou, to prevent the Huashan faction from taking advantage of the fire to rob and disturb the world.

It's a pity that he was still a step too late ... (To be continued.) )
