Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong hid in the palace and did not show up...

Oh no!

Jiajing ran outside the palace to the newly built Xiyuan, lived in his own nest, and lived to be 50.

Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun simply did not even go to court and lived to be 57.

……

I found no pattern - no one is over 40 years old if they are close to civil servants.

On the contrary, the more isolated you are from civil servants, the older you get!

Tell me - which emperor of the Ming Dynasty died normally?

Even until his death, Zhu Yuanzhang was still asking: "Is King Yan coming?"

However, he was immediately put into a coffin.

Since ancient times, the emperor's funeral has been held for a specified number of days.

On the contrary, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding king of the country, was hastily buried.

They didn’t even dare to record the specific time when the coffin was suspended!

Later generations can only infer from between the lines - definitely not more than seven days!

They say this is an ancestral system. The weather is hot, they are afraid of smell, and they are afraid of wasting people and damaging money...

Pull some eggs!

Zhu Yuanzhang died on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, only five days after the Dragon Boat Festival. Was it very hot?

Do you really think ancient anti-corrosion technology was poor?

If that doesn't work, can the ice in the palace ice cellar be used to preserve it?

I stayed in Wujiazui, Nanjing for a year - at this time, when I got up early in the morning, I had to wear a thin coat!

This is based on the fact that the greenhouse effect is more obvious in today's reinforced concrete buildings.

Will it be as hot as it is now in the Ming Dynasty?

Queen Ma died in August. Isn’t it hotter than this?

Queen Ma stayed in coffin for more than a month, but Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in less than seven days!

And he put it in a coffin on the same day...

Even ordinary people have to leave the body for two days before nailing the coffin before burial!

What’s more, Lao Zhu left a special edict to prevent his son from going to the funeral...

Damn it, if the old man dies, why don’t you let your son go to the funeral?

Have you ever seen an old man die and not let his son go to the funeral?

……

Yup!

If the emperor dies and the vassal princes attend the funeral - will the age of the Ming Dynasty emperor be so short?

Setting the ancestral system is much easier to do!

……

Is King Yan coming?

What a fart Zhu Di can do!

Everyone had arrived in Huai'an and was about to arrive in Nanjing - Zhu Yunwen falsely conveyed the imperial edict and was driven back!

Anyone who has read the history of the Ming Dynasty will find that before the death of the Ming Dynasty emperor, there must be three words - "Shang Buyu".

You see, you have already "not hesitated", so does it make sense to die suddenly?

……

Let’s take a look at Zhu Qizhen’s expedition line:

On July [-], Zhu Qizhen issued an edict to set out for battle.

On July [-], Ming Yingzong immediately left the city with only two days of preparation.

With only [-] soldiers and horses left in the Beijing camp, how many people can he take with him?

If I say [-], it is already as high as the sky!

An interesting army of 50...

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen directly brought almost all the top civil servants in the court with him!

——Chief Assistant to the Cabinet Cao Nai (from Northern Zhili), Minister of War Kuang Ye (from Huguang), Minister of Household Affairs Wang Zuo (from Shandong), Wenyuange Scholar Zhang Yi (from Nanjing), Minister of Justice Ding Xuan (from Jiangxi) People), Wang Yonghe (a native of Jiangsu Province), the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, Deng Qi (a native of Jiangsu Province), the right deputy imperial censor, Gong Quanan (a native of Zhejiang Province), Zuo Tongzheng of the General Affairs Department, Huang Yangzheng (a native of Zhejiang Province), the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Dai Qingzu (a native of Jiangsu Province) ) Wang Yiju (Nanjing native), Li Kezhong Bao Liangzuo (Zhejiang native), Gaishizhong Yao Xian (Fujian native), Supervisory Censor Wei Zhen (Jiangxi native), Sichuan Dao Censor Shenyou (Guizhou native), Ministry of War Qi Wang (a native of Zhejiang Province), the driver's doctor, and Tong Cunde (a native of Zhejiang Province), the supervisory censor...

(I'm too lazy to look it up. If you want to refute, just search for your place of origin.)

Interesting members of the imperial court...

Interesting place of origin...

Zhu Qizhen brought along these big guys and these ministers related to the rebel areas - what was he doing?

——Meat tickets!

As mentioned earlier, Ming Yingzong's three expeditions to Mongolia, brothers should have already understood that the border is Zhu Qizhen's territory.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen absolutely did not believe the news reported to him by the Ministry of War.

He knew there was a conspiracy, so he specially added an insurance policy for himself.

——He directly took away the top ministers of the DPRK!

And they are specially selected, specially selected based on their place of origin!

Maybe this is what he thought at the time:

——I took you away, so I don’t believe you still dare to launch a rebellion?

The courtiers he brought were his meat tickets!

Why did Zhu Qizhen dare to go to Datong?

As early as June, he sent people to Xuanda University. (Xuanda refers to Governor-General Xuanfu, Datong, Shanxi and other places)

Coupled with the second Northern Expedition, he instructed Shi Heng to set up a military residence in Fengzhoutan!

Fengzhou Beach is the Chile River, which is today's Hohhot Plain, also called Tumochuan.

Now in the north of Datong.

The location of the large circle is Fengzhou Beach, the location of the small circle is Datong, the black arrowhead is the Wala invasion route, and the red arrowhead is the Zhuqi Town expedition route.

Can Mongolians fly?

Can they enter the Ming Dynasty's second line of defense without warning at Fengzhou Beach?

Therefore, in fact, as soon as the news from the Ministry of War came out, Zhu Qizhen knew that it was false!

He also understood that by doing this, the court officials were going to attack him!

He believed that as long as he was in Xuanda, he would be even safer than the capital!

Zhu Qizhen went to Datong just to find his team!

Moreover, he thought that as long as these ministers were in hand, they should not dare to take action!

It's a pity that Zhu Qizhen underestimated the shamelessness of the literati group.

The ministers captured by Zhu Qizhen were abandoned by the group behind them!

——In other words, these people have become burial objects...

……

It has to be said that "Zhu Qizhen destroyed 50 troops and caused the Ming Dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline..." that flooded the entire Internet.

Not to mention logical, it doesn’t even conform to common sense!

Can all the 50 troops leave the capital immediately in two days?

Whenever you go to pick up your child after school, you won’t believe it immediately!

Oh buy ga!

The Ming Dynasty army was so fast!

They have probably popularized trains and railways...

In two days, 50 people could be gathered and driven out of the city - even in modern times, there are still many countries that cannot do this!

Never mind whether it is 20 or 50...

No need for any common sense - just cover up the truth anyway!

……

Let’s talk about the timeline of Zhu Qizhen’s capture:

The history books have been perfected for hundreds of years, and the battle process has long been compiled and perfected.

This paragraph can only be used as a reference. If you really believe it, you are being stupid...

Then we can only infer from common sense:

What is unbelievable is that Zhu Qizhen's imperial commander personally went on the expedition, except for the short time!

There are so many shits happening along the way!

We set out on July [-]th. On the night of the [-]th, the army had a night terror.

What do you mean?

Night terrors are camp howls.

——The soldiers were suddenly frightened and started killing each other.

Examples abound in ancient times of total collapse caused by night terrors.

but--

play?

Fighting in the north and south, fighting against all the invincible enemies in the world - I just walked for a day, and I haven't even set foot on the ground of Beijing. Why are you having night terrors?

This is like when Jiajing was on patrol in the south, and a fire broke out and he chased him...

You know, at this time, Zhu Qi Town had just arrived at Longhu Terrace, which is today the south entrance of Changping District, Beijing.

This place is just outside the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing!

The straight-line distance is one hundred miles.

The soldiers from the Beijing camp, who had fought invincible opponents all over the world, had night terrors at the doorstep of their home in the capital?

Can we make a reasonable guess - this night terror was caused by someone who wanted to kill Zhu Qizhen, but was discovered by the soldiers?

In other words, this time the action was not successful!

Tumu Fort is an important turning point. This section is relatively long and will end tomorrow.
