After that day, Yang Shiqi formed an alliance with Taisun, and Yang Rong soon joined. otbnkotgt But in private, they ordered people to secretly spread the secrets of the court, and those jokes about Wang Xian killing Wang and killing the king, and having an affair with Xu Miaojin were also instructed by them.
This kind of thing, as long as the wind is released, it can spread all over the city, and no one can find out who made the rumor first 。
Taisun Mansion, in the lecture hall.
Yang Shiqi told Zhu Zhanji about the Mongol Koubian.
When the first emperor was there, the Mongols were all broken, and they were naturally honest, and they did not commit any crimes in autumn.
For more than a decade, the Mongols who did not belong to them had a very hard time.
They are not engaged in agriculture, they have no industry, and they do not produce almost anything except beef and mutton, cattle and sheep skins, and cow and goat milk.
But you can't just rely on cattle and sheep to live, the clothes on your body have to be clothed, the bedding on the bed has to be made of cotton, you have to have herbs when you are sick, you have to use iron pots to boil water and cook, and you have to have tea bricks to relieve greasy when you eat too much beef and mutton.
And the stew always has to put salt, eat boiled meat all day long, who can stand it The Mongols did not have all these things, and they originally obtained them by plundering the interior.
After being crippled by Zhu Di, he could only honestly go through the border market and exchange precious furs for these cheap daily necessities.
But not every tribe is qualified to trade with the Ming Dynasty, it must be a small and medium-sized tribe that has always been obedient and has no threat to the Ming Dynasty.
A guy like Arutai, who is powerful and ambitious, always wants to unify Mongolia and restore the former glory of the Mongolian Yuan, is naturally always excluded.
Arutai didn't want to bow his head, he sent his son to Xuanfu several times to ask for peace and ask for a seal, but Zhu Di had already decided that he was a wolf cub who couldn't be fed, and he was resolutely unmoved.
The Tatar tribes of Arutai have never been deprived of much-needed supplies, and their lives have become miserable.
It is said that in their entire tribe, only Arutai and his sons had iron pots, and the rest could only boil meat in bags made of animal skins.
Because there was no cloth or cotton, they had to wear clothes made of animal skins, both men and women.
In the summer, when animal skins could not be worn, men and women were almost naked, disgraced to their Genghis Khan.
Under Zhu Di's military attack and economic blockade, many small tribes attached to the Tatar tribe secretly moved inward and took refuge in the Borzigit tribe in the Hetao.
If it weren't for the strong suppression of the Arutai father and son, the entire Tatar department would have fallen apart long ago Just when Arutai was about to lose his hold and was about to surrender unconditionally to the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongle died.
On the day the news reached the steppe, the Tatar tribes were like a festival, and everyone was indulging in songs and drunkenness, celebrating the fact that the boulder that had been pressing on the heads of the Mongols for more than 20 years was once wiped out Subsequently, Arutai rekindled his thief and began to tentatively attack the Mongol tribes who had joined the Ming Dynasty.
After plundering, he led the crowd to flee to the desert, and after hiding for a long time, he did not see the Ming army come to punish him.
Arutai became more and more emboldened, not satisfied with plundering the Mongol tribes who had little oil and water, and began to fight the idea of the Ming people.
During the Yongle period, many people in the interior either fled or followed the army, migrated to the border areas, established villages and towns, and cultivated farmland, which was already very large-scale.
The people of these border areas have forgotten the threat of Mongolian bandits, many villages and towns are built far away from the army garrison area, there is no deep relationship between the army and the people in this era, the border army of the Ming Dynasty plundered the people, and the bandits are no different.
When Arutai led his army to break into these villages and towns, he did not encounter any decent resistance at all, so he could burn and loot at will, and when they returned with a full load and left for several days, the Ming army was late.
In fact, this is not entirely because as soon as Zhu Di died, the border army of the Ming Dynasty picked a son, but the generals of Xuanfu and Datong responded to Zhu Gaochi's call and took the army into King Qin.
The lieutenant generals who stayed behind were not strong enough and were unwilling to take responsibility, so how could they rashly attack News of frequent harassment at the border soon spread to the capital.
But at that time, everyone's attention was on the battle for the throne, and His Royal Highness Taisun, who was temporarily in charge of the government, only conveyed the news to King Qin's generals.
And those generals didn't care, for so many years, the Mongols had already been beaten into rabbits by them, as long as they took their troops back, they would ensure that Arutai was scared and hid as far as they could.
In the turn of the year, those generals of King Qin were rewarded by the emperor and returned with the army satisfied.
He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to teach Arutai, the turtle grandson who took advantage of the fire, to teach a lesson.
So after receiving the news of Arutai Kobian the next time, the chief military officers of Xuanfu and Datong respectively ordered 10,000 cavalry and rushed towards Arutai with great momentum.
As expected, as soon as the Ming army arrived, Arutai's army dropped the loot and fled without his life.
Seeing this, the Ming army became more imposing, and pursued closely behind, rushing to the depths of the grassland in one go, and a small group of enemy soldiers appeared.
The Ming army poured all their anger on these hundreds of enemy soldiers, and surrounded and annihilated them in a blink of an eye.
Interrogating the captives revealed that these Mongols did not dare to fight the Ming and secretly fled from the Tatar army.
The Mongols also told the Ming army that the Arutai army had been chased and could not run, and that the morale of the army was weakened, and that they would rest by the Tru River, thirty miles to the north, and that the attack would be a complete victory.
Xu was too confident, and the generals of the Ming army had no doubts, and let those Mongols be their guides, leading them to attack the Tatar army in front.
Under the leadership of the Mongols, the Ming army came to the Tru River, and sure enough, they found the Tatar barracks, but there were only a full camp of supplies and a few hundred Tatar soldiers.
The Ming army easily routed these Tatar soldiers, and interrogated the captives to learn that Arutai had just received a report from the scouts and fled with his army, and that he should have just crossed the river at this time.
The Ming army chased for half a month, and finally caught the tail of the Tatar army, and the soldiers were so excited that they rushed to the river with a roar, and sure enough, they saw that there were still many Tatar troops crossing the river.
The general of the Ming army, who was carried away, didn't think about it, so he rushed forward with the army.
The Tatar cavalry, who were crossing the river, panicked and desperately urged their horses to swim to the opposite bank.
The cavalry of the Ming army rushed into the river like dumplings, only to realize that the calm river surface was not as safe as imagined, not to mention the extremely high water level, and the undercurrent was turbulent.
If the horse was not careful, it stumbled and drowned in the river, and the cavalry on the horse was also overturned in the water.

But at this time, the Ming army, which had already ignored it, didn't care about this trouble at all, and in a blink of an eye, most of the army entered the river, and the wide river surface was densely packed with Ming officers and soldiers As soon as the vanguard came ashore, they rushed straight towards the fleeing Mongols without waiting for the troops behind.
Although the smoke and dust were billowing in front of me, there were a large number of enemy troops at a glance.
But according to the usual experience, no matter how many soldiers the Mongols had, as soon as the Ming army arrived, they would all flee.
However, this time, they guessed wrong, and when the smoke and dust cleared, the vanguard of the Ming army saw a Mongol army that was ready to fight and bow and arrow Arutai, who led this army, drew his long knife, looked coldly at the deceived Ming army, and roared behind him: "Descendants of Genghis Khan, the time has come to repay the blood debt from the enemy and wash away your shame for many years."
Saying that, the long knife pointed forward, and the horse rushed out first: "Kill" "Kill" The Tatar cavalry rushed up like a tide, and they opened their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows rained down and shot towards the Ming army The soldiers of the Ming army were hit by arrows one after another, screaming and falling off their horses, looking at the disparity between the enemy and us, they couldn't help but look back, wanting to see when the army behind them could catch up.
Who knew that when he saw this, he was in a state of disarray, only to see that the army behind him had become a pot of porridge It turned out that Arutai had also ambushed the army on the other side of the river, and the Mongolian cavalry took advantage of the fact that half of the Ming army crossed the river and the soldiers were in chaos, and suddenly came out of the air and attacked the Ming soldiers from behind By this time, even fools understood that they had fallen into a trap carefully crafted by the Mongols.
Those Mongol routs that were caught before were deliberately released by Arutai to lure them into the bait step by stepWhen they finally fell for it and began to cross the Tru River, the Tatar army that had been ambushed on both sides of the river was killed and attacked halfway In this battle, the Ming army was defeated very badly, although they still maintained the bravery and fearlessness of the Zhu Di era, but they were too light on the enemy before, and they hastily put themselves in the Jedi, and as a result, after the enemy launched a surprise attack, the soldiers could not find the generals, and they could only fight separately without headless flies The morale of the Tatars, on the other hand, was in full swing, and they finally swept away the gloom of the Yongle era, and vaguely saw the hope of restoring their former glory, allowing them to burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness and launch wave after wave of attacks on the Ming troops on both sides of the strait Soon, the vanguard of the Ming army, which was the first to cross the river, was killed and wounded under the onslaught of the enemy army.
The soldiers in the river continued to land on the shore, which was not enough for the Tatar army to stuff their teeth Seeing this, the soldiers of the Ming army did not dare to cross the river again, and many men and horses turned around one after another, but they committed the taboo of the soldiers, and the men and horses who turned back collided with the advancing Ming army, and the scene was completely out of control, and the battle finally inevitably fell into a one-sided massacre In this battle, 20,000 elite Ming troops, more than 10,000 people died on the banks of the Trulu River, the blood dyed the river red, and the corpses of the dead Ming soldiers could be seen all the way to a hundred miles downstream.
The remaining Qianming army desperately broke through the siege, but was pursued and beaten by the Tatar army that became completely crazy, and only more than 2,000 people fled back to Xuanfu after half a month, and the rest were either killed or taken prisoner by the Tatars This is the worst defeat of the Ming Dynasty after the defeat of Qiu Fu in the seventh year of Yongle, and the news was transmitted back to the capital, and the government and the opposition were shocked:
