Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Chapter 484 No wonder

"The death of these civil servants can be used to blur the line of sight..."

Zhang Xin also thought of it at this time.

She hadn't thought about it this way before because she felt that a large number of civil servants had died, and they would not betray their own people.

"One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men, and the same is true for civil and military officials. Besides, do you think they are all of one mind?"

Zhang Sanfeng nodded and asked back.

"Ugh."

Zhang Xin could only sigh.

Even if everything has become the past, what happened has happened.

Some people have evil hearts.

It was really beyond her imagination.

"After Zhu Qizhen was restored to the throne, did he attack the civil officials? If so, my deduction would be basically correct."

Zhang Sanfeng does not have the unclearness of Zhang Xin's characters in the game.

Many times, for some things, the result can be inferred from the process, and vice versa, the process can be inferred from the result.

"Correct."

Zhang Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

No wonder Zhu Qizhen killed Yu Qian after his restoration.

She thought Zhu Qizhen was confused at the time, but in fact she was the one who was stupid.

The records of what happened later are more detailed in the Merit Bureau than the records of the Battle of Tumu.

After the Battle of Tumu, the elite troops of the entire Ming Dynasty, including a large number of capable and battle-hardened generals such as Duke Yingguo Zhang Fu, died on the battlefield. Zhu Qizhen was also captured. The 300,000-strong army was almost wiped out in the Battle of Tumu.

Not only were people killed, but a large amount of weapons, equipment and supplies were also severely lost.

Armor, weapons, and food were all lost in the battle.

After the court received the news that the emperor was captured, the palace prepared treasures to redeem the emperor.

This matter came to nothing.

At the same time, news came from the front that the Oirat was preparing for a large-scale invasion.

Empress Dowager Sun appointed Zhu Qizhen's son as the crown prince, ordered Prince Zhu Qiyu of Qin to be regent, and summoned ministers to discuss strategies for war and defense.

Some court officials advocated the Mandate of Heaven and proposed to move south for safety, while Yu Qian, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, believed that the capital should be defended.

Because there was a precedent of the Song Dynasty's failure after moving south, Yu Qian's proposal was supported by many officials.

Zhu Qiyu then decided to hold on to Beijing.

The purge of Wang Zhen's followers began here.

Ma Shun, commander of the Imperial Guard, and eunuchs Mao Gui and Wang Changsui were beaten to death on the spot during the court meeting.

Wang Zhen's nephew Wang Shan was taken to the execution ground and was executed by slow slicing. Wang Zhen's entire family was confiscated.

In August, Zhu Qiyu was still in charge of government affairs as regent, but the newly appointed crown prince Zhu Jianshen was only three years old and unable to govern.

On the first day of September, court officials petitioned the Empress Dowager to make Zhu Qiyu the emperor to reassure the people.

After Empress Dowager Sun agreed, Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne on September 6 and respected Zhu Qizhen as the Supreme Emperor.

While Yu Qian was actively preparing for war to increase the defense of the capital, Yesen accompanied the retired emperor to Datong, Xuanfu and other places to ask the garrisons to open the gates.

The Ming army defenders held the city tightly and refused to leave, so Yesen failed.

In October, the Oirat troops directly invaded the capital.

At this time, Yu Qian had mobilized 220,000 troops to strengthen the defense of the capital and protect the safety of the capital.

When the Oirat army arrived in the capital, Yu Qian led his generals to guard the city gates and fought bloody battles with the Oirat at Deshengmen, Xizhimen and other gates to stop the Oirat attack. After five days, he successfully forced the Oirat to retreat and won the battle to defend the capital.

After this battle, Yu Qian continued to reorganize the Ming Dynasty's military, and urged the Oirat to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, and finally succeeded in winning Zhu Qizhen back to Beijing.

After Zhu Qizhen returned to Beijing, he was imprisoned in the Southern Palace.

In the eighth year of the Jingtai reign, Zhu Qizhen, under the planning of Shi Heng, Xu Youzhen, Cao Jixiang and others, launched the coup d'état, restored the throne, and lavishly rewarded those who supported him. At the same time, many officials headed by Yu Qian were purged and executed.
