Why is it said that the Tumubao Incident was an unprecedented military defeat in the history of the Ming Dynasty?

The history of the Ming Dynasty is very complicated, and most of this complexity comes from the two extreme perceptions of modern netizens. One side likes to boast the Ming Dynasty as the best that surpasses all dynasties, while the other side regards the Ming Dynasty as the main culprit for the destruction of Chinese civilization after Yashan. Let’s put these aside for now and talk about the Ming Dynasty’s biggest military defeat. This battle not only brought the Ming Dynasty to a standstill, but also completely demonstrated the most cowardly side of the Ming Dynasty militarily and politically.

Why a military defeat has become a historical mystery. In addition to the confusing secret history of the palace, it is also mixed with political competition among the top officials of the Ming Dynasty. Do you know what this event is?

Is it a conspiracy or a conspiracy?

Many people despisely call some irrational history enthusiasts "filial sons". Maybe they think these people are simply tarnishing history. !

As for the "Tumubao Incident", the most shameful event in the history of the Ming Dynasty, would it be as childish and ridiculous to just shift the responsibility to a few eunuchs as "Qin Hui killed Yue Fei"?

As a young emperor, Zhu Qizhen already had his own complete cognitive abilities. For Zhu Qizhen, who ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor at the age of 8, the various complex power struggles in the palace were the food that drove him to grow the fastest. In fact, doesn't Zhu Qizhen himself have no idea about the imperial commander's personal expedition?

Under the high pressure of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, no matter how hard and hard the civil servants were, fewer than 20 could end well. Under this kind of high-intensity imperial rule, ministers lived in fear all day long. They lost the scholar-bureaucrat's feeling of taking the world as his own responsibility, and also lost the desire to serve as an official by appointing his wife as his wife.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's era, being able to survive was already the greatest wish of officials.

But after the death of political strongmen like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the civil servants who had been suppressed to the limit launched a thorough counterattack, which resulted in a complicated and strange relationship between monarch and ministers in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

The trigger for the Tumubao Incident was originally a small incident. The reason why Zhu Qizhen wanted to mobilize his troops was to take this opportunity to restore the absolute authority of Zhu Yuanzhang. The civil service group was also well aware of Zhu Qizhen's intentions towards Sima Zhao.

In a political contest that was life-or-death, Zhu Qizhen was actually wiped out on his own territory due to a lack of logistical supplies and intelligence.

If there is no conspiracy here, the Ming Dynasty had the most complete intelligence system in the world (Jinyiwei), and could not get any rescue or supplies one day away from its own military town. All this is Isn't it too much of a coincidence?

During the entire process of the Tumubao Incident, hundreds of thousands of elites of the Ming Dynasty, including the most powerful musketeers in the world at the time, were unable to defeat a mere 20,000 troops.

After Zhu Qizhen was captured, the civil servants who stayed in Beijing actually gathered all the surrounding soldiers, horses, and supplies within three days to fight to the end. This comparison before and after has already shown the non-importance of Zhu Qizhen.

What is even more frightening is that after the Tumubao Incident, the civil service group also carried out a series of operations that were inconsistent with the royal tradition of Confucian etiquette. Is this a conspiracy or a conspiracy?

·Who is the mastermind behind the Tumubao Incident

According to Confucian etiquette, even if Zhu Qizhen is killed in battle, his son should inherit the throne instead of His younger brother should be the emperor.

Some people say it's because Zhu Qizhen's son is too young, but Zhu Qizhen was only 8 years old when he ascended the throne. What does he know?

Moreover, even after Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, would he really be able to control the overall situation of the entire Ming Dynasty?

And many people who have the plot of a king also have many incomprehensible questions about Zhu Qizhen. Isn’t it promised that “the king will die in the country”? The Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed by himself. Why didn't Zhu Qizhen commit suicide?

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen also repeatedly acted as a tool for foreigners to blackmail the Ming Dynasty in order to survive?

Is Zhu Qizhen really timid and cowardly, or is he a man who can bend and stretch? Different readers may have different understandings of this!

If it is illegal for Zhu Qiyu to inherit the Ming Dynasty, then it is even more excessive to depose his brother's son and establish his own son as the prince. Moreover, during the transition between Jingtai and Tianshun, Zhu Qizhen's "gate-stealing change" caused even more confusion.

When Emperor Jingtai was about to die of illness, Zhu Qizhen was completely treated as a wife of political opportunists and was manipulated around. When Zhu Qizhen came to his senses, he understood that even if there was no so-called coup to seize the throne, the throne would still be his.

This kind of superfluous and unscrupulous superfluity has become the biggest joke in history.

In the same place, in the same dynasty, two living brothers proclaimed themselves emperors at the same time within half a month. This is unprecedented in history.

When Zhu Qizhen realized that he had been tricked, all the civil servants who had made "great contributions" in the seizing incident were cleared out of the court by Zhu Qizhen.

This incident seems absurd. Isn't it just like the Tumubao Incident, in which the emperor became a "monkey" to be played by the civil servants?

Some people say that Zhu Qizhen’s life was the most successful, while others say that Zhu Qizhen was the most embarrassing emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Regarding Zhu Qizhen’s life before and after the "Tumu Fort Incident" Readers of Three Ups and Three Downs, what do you think?
