Ming: I am fake, walking on thin ice

Chapter 4: Zhu Qizhen, the Wala Student
The main camp of the Wala army.

The bonfire was blazing, and a celebration banquet was being held. Yesen, the Great Khan of the Oirat tribe, raised his wine glass and said, "In this battle, we seized a lot of gold and silver treasures, all of which belonged to that eunuch. I will give them all to you!"

The great eunuch he was referring to was Wang Zhen.

Without Wang Zhen's instigation, Zhu Qizhen would not have hastily led the army in person.

This eunuch who dreamed of leaving his name in history was finally beaten to death by the veteran general Fan Zhong.

"Thank you, Great Khan!" The generals happily raised their glasses to Yesen.

Compared with the excitement of the Oirat generals, there was a person in the tent who was dejected and even wanted to die. He was the Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

"Emperor Taizu restored our Han dynasty. General Xu Da and General Chang Yuchun gathered their troops in Dadu and marched straight to Yanyun, driving the Mongols out of the Central Plains!"

"During the Yongle reign, Emperor Taizong went on five expeditions, drinking snow when thirsty and eating felt when hungry, leading the troops and defeating the Arutai tribe."

"The previous emperor also went on many expeditions. How come in our dynasty, we allow a few clowns to kill our officials at will? They even sent their heads here. It's such a shame!"

"How dare a small Wala hurt my subjects? How dare you kill my subjects? I think the Wala clowns are waiting for my Ming Dynasty to send troops. Only then will they know what a king's army and thunderous wrath are."

These were his bold words before he went to war.

Thinking about it now, he felt ashamed. This defeat made him understand what war was.

In war, it's not the numbers that count.

I regret not listening to Yu Qian's advice.

Before the expedition, Yu Qian stood up and strongly opposed it.

But Zhu Qizhen still led the army to fight because he wanted to be an emperor with military merits like his great-grandfather and his father.

……

Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne at the age of nine.

But at the beginning, Empress Dowager Sun was the regent, and the three Yangs (Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu), the civil officials in the cabinet, assisted in the administration.

After he became an adult, he wanted to make his own decisions, but Sun was always influencing him from behind.

"I am the emperor, I have the final say."

"Emperor? What kind of emperor are you?"

"I am no longer just a child. I want to be an emperor with military merits like my great grandfather and my father."

Queen Mother Sun told him.

Emperor Taizong was cruel, but he knew right from wrong.

Emperor Renzong was mediocre and weak, but he had a kind heart.

Emperor Xuanzong was playful, but brave and kind.

And what does Zhu Qizhen have?
Zhu Qizhen wanted to prove himself, and he thought he had finally gotten the chance. However, he didn't expect that he would lose the main force of the Ming Dynasty in one battle.

The clinking of glasses and talks among the Oirat generals in the military tent was the biggest irony to him.

"Come on, let the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty pour us some wine, hahaha." A Wala general shouted.

When the other generals heard this, they all followed suit.

Is there anything more refreshing than having the almighty Emperor of the Ming Dynasty pour wine for you?
"Great Khan, the Ming emperor survived the chaos, which means he was blessed by God." Bayan Temur stood up and bowed, "After all, he is the emperor of Ming, give him due respect."

He was Yesen's younger brother. After he said this, all the generals were disappointed and did not continue to make things difficult for Zhu Qizhen.

"Great Khan, Great Khan." A man from the Central Plains appeared and bowed to Yesen, "The 200,000 elite main forces of the Ming Dynasty were destroyed. Now the capital of the Ming Dynasty is empty, with not even 30,000 people. As long as we move south quickly, we can capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Great Khan, I also know the defense map of the Ming army. This is a great opportunity."

Yesen's eyes fell on this man and he laughed: "Mr. Xining, you are the first to contribute in this trip south."

Zhu Qizhen stared at Mr. Xining, because Xining was also his eunuch and his favorite eunuch.

After being captured, this eunuch directly surrendered to the Oirat and suggested several times that Yesen go south to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty. …

It is obvious that Yesen adopted Xining's suggestion and made use of him.

"Everyone, do you want to get rich?" Yesen glanced at the generals, "With the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in my hands, how much ransom do you think I should ask for from their court?"

"Think about it." The generals became very interested.

Yesen slowly turned his head, his eyes gleaming, and said in a deep voice:
"Our goal this time is not just the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Don't stop after you take the capital. The three Wuliangha tribes will cross the Yellow River and take Shandong. I will personally lead the other elite troops, cross Zhili, go down the Huai River, and completely drive them out from the north of the Yangtze River."

"Boyan Temur's troops will enter Shanxi and clear the northwest. Jiangbei will definitely fall into our hands. By then, the Ming Dynasty will not dare to come and provoke us easily. We will never have to go back to the bitter cold land of Mobei again."

When the generals heard this, their eyes were filled with longing.

Yesen stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it:

"May the Eternal Heaven bless us. Those devilish Ming emperors have been slain by the heavens. We will never lose this opportunity again. Everyone, follow me. The long-cherished wish of the Yuan emperor to unify the world will be realized once again."

"Dry!"

All the generals raised their glasses and their morale was high.

After drinking, Bayan Temur asked Yesen for permission to allow the Ming Emperor Zhu Qizhen to stay in his tent temporarily.

Yesen agreed, but he kept Xining by his side because this eunuch would be of great use.

After Zhu Qizhen was brought to Boyan's military tent, he finally had a full meal.

This Boyan was very polite to him, unlike other crude Oirat people, and Zhu Qizhen felt much more at ease here. However, Yesen still sent three people to guard him.

These three people were all from the Central Plains, but they had entered the grassland early on, and they were very polite to Zhu Qizhen.

After dinner, Zhu Qizhen looked at the night sky of the grassland. He didn’t know if he could go back. Perhaps he would not live for more than a few days.

……

Zhu Qizhen, the true emperor of the Ming Dynasty, started his study abroad career.

The fake emperor Zhu Qizhen was heading south.

Along the way, they continued to gather the remaining troops and spread the word that the emperor had not been captured.

The opinion of Duke Yingguo Zhang Fu was to return to the capital as soon as possible, to gather troops from all over the country to defend the king, and to organize a good defense before Yesen's troops arrived at the capital.

Furthermore, there were previous rumors that the emperor had been captured, and the capital must have received the news. It was estimated that the court was in chaos, and the emperor was urgently needed to return to calm down the ministers.

Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting in the carriage, was very panicked.

"I'm so nervous!" Zhu Qizhen held a book in his hand. "What if I get caught when I return to the palace? I'm not ready yet, why am I rushing back like this?"

After looking at the "Diary" in his hand, he took a deep breath and continued to recite.

No one knew where Zhang Fu got the emperor's daily record from, but he asked Zhu Qizhen to memorize it as soon as possible to avoid any flaws after entering the palace.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's rest up front." Zhang Fu's voice came.

The carriage stopped, Zhu Qizhen got out, and looked up to see a small post station in front of him.

Zhang Fu came to his side and bowed: "I have no choice but to inconvenience your majesty."

"Where is the grievance?" Zhu Qizhen walked towards the tent, "I eat and live with the soldiers."

Zhang Fu was stunned.

This guy is acting more and more like the character.

I'm just asking for votes. I went to chase Chengfeng last night and got up late. Yes, I chased the two Chens and became a double C.
