Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

Zhu Zhanji's policy had already been implemented when he was alive, and the supervisor of ceremonies at that time was able to approve the red for the emperor.However, under Zhu Zhanji's strict supervision, the eunuch who was in charge did not dare to do anything wrong.Because although Zhu Zhanji didn't intend to write so many words, he often checked and watched the red-picking homework of the Supervisor of Rites. The cabinets put forward their opinions on the handling of major national affairs, and drafted them out and sent them to the emperor. After the emperor revised them, he added his own opinions, or directly agreed, and let the eunuch approve the redemption on his behalf.

It's a simple yet effective workflow. The Ming Dynasty moved forward peacefully in such a process. However, this tranquility will soon be broken. Chinese people have a very strong concept of passing on the family line, so although a job like eunuch has no worries about food and clothing, after all, he has to be stabbed, has less things than others, and cannot have children.If there is a eunuch in the family, it would be very embarrassing to tell it. Based on this, people at that time also formed a consensus: never be an eunuch unless it is absolutely necessary! As the old saying goes, there are always exceptions.

In the last years of Yongle, the imperial court issued a decree, which roughly meant this: all officials of the education bureaus of various provinces and cities, if they did not perform well in their work for a long time, they could be transferred to the capital to serve as officials. Is there such a good thing?He can't do well in the local area, but he can even be transferred to the capital to work as an official! It is said that such good news should attract countless people to sign up, but in fact, few people paid attention to it. why?Are people willing to miss this opportunity to make a fortune?

Of course not, the mystery that no one cares about is that the job they do after being transferred to the capital is quite special-"clean themselves into the palace to train female officials". What a joke!Even if I don't want to be a school official, I can still be a commoner, so why should I go to the palace and become a eunuch? ! Yeah, who would do such a foolish thing? Just when everyone didn't take it seriously and took the decree as a joke, a school official who was about to be punished for making a mistake was hesitating at his home. He already has a wife and children, and although his life is not rich, he is not poor either, so he can live in peace of mind, but in his heart, there is an ambition that others cannot understand.

He longed to be famous since he was a child, and studied hard for many years. Although he became a Confucian scholar and was selected as an academic officer, he was still unable to get a title on the gold list.Now he has a family, but Liye has been missing for a long time.Now that the academic officer can't do it any more, is this the end of his life? No, I will always wait for the opportunity. Now the opportunity has finally come. Unfortunately, although it is an opportunity, it is not a good opportunity. If you embrace this opportunity, what awaits you is bound to be a difficult road. You will encounter countless people's eyes and discrimination.

No matter how much, if you want to stand out, you have to pay the price! If others don't do it, I will do it! The person who did things that others dared not do and did not want to do was Wang Zhen. It was this person who broke the original intention of Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji and the good atmosphere he created, and affected the rise and fall of a dynasty. Wang Zhen, whose date of birth is unknown, was born in Weizhou, Shanxi (now Hebei). He studied at a young age and served as a local instructor. Later, he voluntarily entered the palace to educate the people in the palace. With the courage to dare to do what others do not do, Wang Zhen entered the court, and to his great surprise, in the palace, he, an academic officer who was not good at teaching, was respected by everyone, which is actually quite natural. Because he has no one to compete with him for this job.

Because he stood out among a bunch of illiterate and elementary school educated people, he was called Mr. Wang by everyone, and his reputation became bigger and bigger, and he received Xuanzong's attention. Zhu Zhanji felt that he was a talent, so he sent him to serve Prince reads. From then on, this eunuch named Wang Zhen formed an indissoluble bond with Zhu Qizhen, who was still the prince at that time. It should be said that Wang Zhen is indeed a good teacher. He taught the prince to study and strictly managed him, so that Zhu Qizhen dared not call him by his name, but actually called him "Mr."

Leaving aside Wang Zhen's right and wrong later on, he and Zhu Qizhen did have an extremely deep relationship, but it was this overly deep relationship and trust that eventually led to a catastrophe. The reign of Zhu Zhanji and his father Zhu Gaochi was a prosperous age in Chinese history, and the two of them are collectively called Renxuan, not only because they are father and son, in fact, they have many similarities.The enumeration is as follows: First of all, they are all surnamed Zhu. Secondly, they are all good emperors and wise monarchs. In the end, neither of them lived long. Zhu Gaochi lived to be forty-eight years old, but because his father was too capable, he worked as a prince for twenty years and only became emperor for one year.

Zhu Zhanji lived ten years less than his father, but because his father died early, he became emperor at the age of twenty-seven and served as emperor for ten years. These eleven years were the golden age of the Ming Dynasty, and there are too many beautiful words in historical materials for the rule of this period.The Ming Empire was unprecedentedly prosperous and powerful, and everything seemed to be developing in a better direction. But the habit of watching TV dramas for a long time tells us that usually at this time, there will be a turning point, and the TV scriptwriters will specially create some conflicts and make troubles, such as the male protagonist killing someone, and the female protagonist has a terminal illness and so on.If the flowers are always full and the moon is full and everyone is safe, then the ratings of this TV series will not be high, and the advertisements will not be sold.

The god of history (if there is one) seems to be a good screenwriter, and he may also find such history boring, so he put an end to this comedy. This full stop finally ended the golden decade of the Ming Dynasty. In the tenth year of Xuande (1435), Zhu Zhanji, the hero of a generation, died after rescue and was only 38 years old. This is the end of Renxuan's rule. Before Zhu Zhanji died, he chose five Ministers of Gu Ming for his nine-year-old son. Although his son was still young, Zhu Zhanji was not worried because he believed that these five people would never let him go. Disappoint yourself.

These five people are: Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Zhang Fu, and Hu Wei. It is indeed a luxurious lineup. There are three Yangs in Wen, Zhang Fu in Wu, and one who specializes in secret work. Zhu Zhanji should leave with peace of mind. But what he didn't expect was that these five influential figures, the court elite finally let him down. A storm is coming. Speaking of this Zhu Qizhen, some people may grit their teeth and hate him to the bone, but in fact, if you analyze the historical data carefully, you will find that he is not a bad person, and his ability to handle government affairs is not bad. He is also very diligent. Although there are two major flaws (fighting a wrong battle and killing a wrong person), it does not completely erase his ability and contribution. Among all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of the legendary life and the ups and downs of fate, it is estimated that no one can match this emperor except Zhu Yuanzhang. In this era of Ming Yingzong, in addition to his own legendary experience of emperor-captive-prisoner-emperor, the appearance of a person who can be called the second strongest man in the Ming Dynasty also made the affairs of this dynasty even more exciting. Let's start here. Wang Zhen is not a simple person. He said goodbye to his wife and children, he was willing to be castrated as an eunuch, and endured the discrimination of others. It was definitely not just for making a living. In his heart, he had great ambitions. And he is very wise to realize that if he wants to realize his ambition, he must firmly grasp the rare treasure in his hand - Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen was brought up by himself, and he can be regarded as his student. Although he is still only a prince, although he is only nine years old, he will eventually grow up and become an emperor. With the support of this belief, Wang Zhen patiently waited for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to monopolize the power and dominate the world. The opportunity seems to have come, Zhu Zhanji passed away, this shrewd emperor passed away, leaving only the young Zhu Qizhen, and Zhu Qizhen obeyed his words, the day when he was in power is not far away! Is the truth really like this? Probably not, because on Wang Zhen's way to seize power, there are two obstacles blocking him. In fact, for Wang Zhen, it can be said that it is impossible to overcome these two obstacles, and he has no good way, because the two obstacles that block his progress represent a wave of his own strength. Absolutely unrivaled force. When Yingzong came to the throne, Yang Shiqi was seventy-one years old, but this veteran who had gone through four dynasties still seemed invincible, from the cruel and cunning Zhu Di, the sinister and shameless Zhu Gaoxu to the kind and tolerant Zhu Gaochi, and the shrewd and capable Zhu Zhanji, He has seen all kinds of people, and he has dealt with all kinds of things.After experiencing the test of great wind and waves, he became calm, deep and mature. If Wang Zhen wants to monopolize power, he must first pass his test, but this seems impossible. If the little Wang Zhen wants to make a fool of himself in front of Yang Shiqi, he has to go home and practice for decades. In addition, Yang Rong and Yang Pu are not idle people. These three veterans are there, and Wang Zhen can only be his slave and eunuch obediently. The power of this civil servant group was the first obstacle on Wang Zhen's way to power, but unexpectedly, it turned out afterwards that it was the second obstacle that could really contain Wang Zhen, and this obstacle was composed of a woman. Can a woman have more power than the civil society? Yes, in my opinion, more than that.This great woman can not only control the government, but also abolish the emperor! This person is Zhu Qizhen's grandmother - Empress Dowager Zhang. Eleven years ago, she was Queen Zhang, ten years ago, she was Queen Mother Zhang, and now she is Queen Mother Zhang. During these eleven years, she lost her husband and son, and what is ironic is that every time she loses a relative, her rank increases. This is probably the most painful promotion in the world. The dead are dead, and the living have to work hard. Empress Dowager Zhang wiped away her tears and began to assist her grandson. In fact, if it wasn't for her decision, Zhu Qizhen would not be able to be emperor. After Zhu Zhanji's death, because the prince was very young, and there were rumors that the prince was not born to his mother and grandson, but was born on behalf of a court lady, the status of the prince was very unstable, and rumors of foreign vassal kings coming to be emperor spread all over the sky. .At this critical moment, Empress Dowager Zhang firmly supported Prince Zhu Qizhen and made him emperor. Such a person, not to mention ability, can scare people to death even if he has seniority. And this grandmother-level character is not just talking but not practicing. Wang Zhen was once abused by her once, and this incident has become an eternal pain in Wang Zhen's heart. In February of the first year of Zhengtong (Yingzong reign) (1436), Empress Dowager Zhang called five ministers into the court for a meeting. After the five people arrived, Empress Dowager Zhang brought the emperor over to let him see the five people clearly , and then said earnestly: "These five people were left to Your Majesty by the late Emperor. If Your Majesty wants to do anything, you must discuss it with these five people." Then she uttered another word of great weight: "If something is not approved by these five people, you can't do it!" The young Zhu Qizhen looked at his grandmother in fear, and nodded with a vague understanding. The five ministers on the side were very moved, but what they didn't expect was that the Empress Dowager didn't just call them here to express her trust in them, she also had an important job to do. After a while, Empress Dowager Zhang ordered Xuan Wangzhen to enter the palace. After Wang Zhen got his order, he went to the palace to meet him immediately. He never imagined that the biggest nightmare in his life was about to begin. After Wang Zhen entered the palace, he saw that the five ministers and the emperor were all present. He was probably holding a high-level meeting and summoned himself. Could it be that he was entrusted with an important task? Something unexpected happened. Before that, Empress Dowager Zhang had finished speaking, and the reason why she didn't leave the meeting was to wait for Wang Zhen. After Wang Zhen knelt down and saluted, the empress dowager, who had been amiable just now, suddenly changed from a loving mother to a wicked one (the color suddenly changed)!She suddenly shouted at Wang Zhen: "You are just an eunuch serving the emperor's daily life, but you have committed many illegal acts. Today, I will kill you!" At the same time as the Queen Mother shouted, the guards in the hall pulled out a shiny knife and put it on Wang Zhen's neck. Immediately after scolding, he started to act without saying hello. Judging from the proficiency of his movements and the time connection, it is believed that this series of actions should have been rehearsed in advance. The originally peaceful hall suddenly became murderous, and Wang Zhen suddenly lost his mind. He never imagined that the purpose of letting him enter the palace today was not to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, but to prepare him to visit the gate of hell. The queen mother with a murderous expression stood on the hall, and she drew out her shiny sword. Facing everything that happened suddenly, Wang Zhen was so frightened that he trembled all over his body and kept trembling.The sudden appearance of this scene not only surprised Wang Zhen, but also confused the five ministers present. Only then did they realize that the queen dowager, who usually looked gentle, had such a fierce side, and the purpose of having them present was not only to explain the matter, but also to assign them the role of audience. Zhu Qizhen was so surprised that he knelt down and begged his grandmother for mercy, and the ministers also begged for mercy.In fact, Empress Dowager Zhang didn't really want to kill Wang Zhen, because Wang Zhen was an honest person at that time and didn't make any mistakes, so she pushed the boat along and forgave Wang Zhen, but at the same time warned him viciously: "Today, because someone is pleading for you, I will spare you, and you will not be allowed to interfere in state affairs in the future!" Wang Zhen retreated in embarrassment, the empress dowager's terrifying eyes left a deep impression on him, and caused his psychological shadow. From then on, whenever he saw the empress dowager, he would be like a mouse. Like a cat, he immediately backed away and fled. The fact is also the same, Empress Dowager Zhang did not relax her beating of Wang Zhen, she would call Wang Zhen to scold him every now and then. With these two obstacles, Wang Zhen's road to power can be said to be a long way to go, so he changed his strategy in time and paid respect to Sanyang. Seeing the old man, he stood timidly outside the door, not daring to enter. When San Yang found him standing outside and asked him to come in and ask him to sit down, he would act flattered, as if being able to talk to San Yang was a blessing from his previous life. His actions made San Yang do the same. Made a wrong judgment and thought it was a nice person. However, under his humble appearance, he continued to form gangs to expand his influence. He used the power of the chief inspector to install his nephew Wang Shan as the Tongzhi of Jinyiwei, and formed a group of cliques to control the courtiers. This Mr. Wang Shan heard that his uncle was prosperous and came to seek refuge from afar. He was very proud of being such a high-ranking official, but if he knew what was waiting for him in seven years, I am afraid that even if he was killed, he would not come to be this high-ranking official. official. Sanyang can handle it, but that old woman can't handle it. Every few days, Wang Zhen will always be dragged over and scolded. It's something he can't handle. We can only wait for her old man to die naturally. The day has finally arrived. In October of the seventh year of Zhengtong (1442), the empress dowager Zhang Taizu, who had gone through four dynasties, passed away, and the biggest obstacle on Wang Zhen's way to seize power dissipated. At this time, Yang Rong of Sanyangzhong had passed away, and the remaining Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu were old and sick, unable to return to heaven. Wang Zhen's chance came. From then on, he monopolized the power and formed a group of allies. Not only did he control the Jinyiwei, but he also took in many subordinates, many of whom were well-educated and disciples of saints, and the most shameless one was none other than Wang You, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. This Mr. Wang You once visited Wang Zhen's home.In the Ming Dynasty, all the ministers had beards, but Wang Zhen had no beard (he couldn't reach his body, but his heart yearned for it), but when he saw Wang You, he found that the minister didn't have a beard either, so he asked him why. Mr. Wang You answered him like this: (The following content may cause vomiting, please be prepared first) "Master doesn't have a beard, how dare I keep my son?" In my opinion, Mr. Wang You has truly reached the realm of being shameless and boundless, so shameless that smoke rises from the ancestral graves. It was with the help of these shameless people that Wang Zhen became more and more powerful in the court. He ruled out dissidents, took advantage of the murder of Yang Shiqi's son, attacked him for teaching his son, and finally defeated the veteran of the four dynasties. He successively framed ministers who disobeyed him, such as Liu Zhong, Shangshu of the household department, and Li Shimian, who offered sacrifices to wine, and drove them out of the capital. At this time, Wang Zhen, with the trust of the emperor internally and the help of thugs externally, was in charge of the power alone, with all kinds of officials. He had infinite glory and became the most powerful eunuch since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The powerful Wang Zhen was not satisfied, he decided to do something that his predecessors dared not do or even imagine. Fifty years ago, in order to prevent the phenomenon of Wang Zhen from appearing today, Mr. Zhu Yuanzhang specially erected a three-foot-high iron monument at the gate of the palace, with eight characters cast on it: "Officials must not interfere in political affairs". But as the saying goes, when people walk away from the stele, it doesn't matter who wrote it or where it stands, what matters is whether someone manages it and whether it is implemented. No one cares about the certificate of merit. Everyone ignored it, but Wang Zhen was different. He always felt that this thing was too dazzling, so he ordered someone to remove the monument. If Lao Zhu was still there, he would definitely arrest Wang Zhen, cut him three thousand knives and let him die, but the times are different, and it really can't be done. Everyone went to court the next day and saw that the handwriting of the founding emperor suddenly disappeared, but they all kept collectively silent. They all knew who did it, but in the end it became that I would not say anything if I was killed, and I would not care if I was killed. The government is like this, so what's the use of talking? ! But when Wang Zhen was so arrogant, there was also a person who refused to buy his account, and this person was really not an idle person. Although he suffered a bit, Wang Zhen still couldn't do anything to him after all. What happened was like this. In the sixth year of Zhengtong (1441), the Empress Dowager Taizu was critically ill at that time and could no longer reprimand Wang Zhen, and San Yang was helpless. Wang Zhen had actually controlled the power of the government, and all governors from other places had to return to Beijing as usual. It doesn't matter how much gold and silver treasures are filial to Wang Zhen, but you have to show your respect to this dead eunuch. It was also at this time that this person came back from the governor of Shanxi, not to mention gold and silver, and he didn't even bring back a bottle of mature vinegar.Wang Zhen was so angry that smoke came out of his seven orifices, and he was furious, and immediately locked this person up. Wang Zhen is an extreme person, he will not show mercy to this kind of person who obviously does not show face, he was already prepared to weave a crime and kill this person.But to his surprise, this person seemed to have a lot of background. Not only the local bureaucrats and ordinary people spoke for him, but even Yang Shiqi, an important minister in the court, and others pleaded for him. (Princes are not easy to deal with) Wang Zhen, who has always punished people to the end, finally realized that although this person is not high in power, he is not simple and cannot be "humanely destroyed", so he uncharacteristically let this person go (he can't let him go). This person is indeed powerful, he was treated badly, but he never said a soft word, he kept scolding Wang Zhen, didn't give him any face, and insisted on fighting him to the end.You have the aura of what you can do to me. This tough guy with a background is Yu Qian. It's a pity that there were too few such people at the time. Controlling the state affairs and commanding the officials may be majestic, but this is not Wang Zhen's ultimate goal. In fact, Wang Zhen is not just a greedy person for money and power, he also has his own ambitions to pursue. Wang Zhen also has his own idol, and his dream is that one day, like his idol, he will sweep away thousands of troops and be unstoppable.His idol is Zhu Qizhen's great-grandfather Zhu Di. Although he was only a literati in the past (he is now a eunuch), he yearned for the majesty of leading an army, and the great achievements of his predecessor Zheng He kept encouraging him. Couldn't the eunuch cut him straight away?I'll show you right away! Now the problem is serious. A person will find something to eat if he is hungry because it is his basic need. What if he is already full?Then he'd hang around, find something to do, be idle anyway. If a person who is full can't find anything good to do, he may do bad things to realize his self-worth. Wang Zhen probably falls into the latter two situations. He was already in control of the power, his family was rich, and he had both power and money. This dead eunuch also had a new life pursuit - to make contributions and leave his name in history. It should be said that it is good to have such ambitions, but the crux of the problem lies in the quality of the aspiring eunuch himself. Just like a corrupt official who usually only accepts bribes, such evil deeds are certainly indignant, but this is not the highest level of their evil deeds. The highest level of the so-called evil is to do some so-called good deeds without such talent. This is the best of villains. Wang Zhen is such a top quality. He is obviously a worthless teacher, a speculative dead eunuch, and a villain who is greedy for power and position. We don't care about these.But now he actually wants to rely on military geniuses and war heroes, it is really shameless. But the current situation at that time gave him such a shameless opportunity. We said earlier that Mahamu, who was beaten to death by Zhu Di, had a good son. This is true. In the sixteenth year of Yongle (1418), Mahamu’s son Tuohuan inherited his father’s title, and The military campaign to dominate Mongolia began. Facts have proved that this man is indeed capable. After only six years, Tuhuan defeated other tribes in Oara, unified Oara, and became the unique leader of Oara. After that, he supported members of the Golden Family Tutuobuhuaweihan, and began to attack Alutai. Because of being beaten so badly by Zhu Di that year, Arutai lacked vitality and was defeated in the battle with Wala. In the ninth year of Xuande (1434), Arutai was defeated by Tuohuan and finally died in the desert. The influential figure who had dealt with Zhu Di, the number one general in Yongle for decades, ended his life thus. Tuohuan is a very ambitious person. His dream is not limited to being a grand master. His real ideal is to restore the world of Dayuan and reoccupy the Central Plains, but God did not give him this opportunity. In the fourth year of orthodoxy (1439), Tuo Huan, whose ambition was unfulfilled, died, but the Ming Dynasty did not get peace because of this, because he was replaced by a more terrifying opponent-Ye Xian. He is also the son of Tuo Huan. He is stronger and smarter than his father. In just a few years, he attacked Hami to the west, controlled the passage to the Western Regions, and threatened the northwestern border of the Ming Dynasty. He attacked Wuliangha to the east. In the tenth year of orthodoxy, Oala completely defeated the three guards of Wuliangha, and controlled the Jurchen tribe, which was very weak at that time, and even threatened North Korea. At this time, Mongolia had been unified, and like his father, he also dreamed of restoring the Great Yuan Dynasty all day long. Therefore, after everything was ready, he pointed his finger at the Ming Dynasty. Although attacking Mingchao Daily first had its own political purpose, in my opinion, the biggest reason for this conflict was money. The Mongols are very good at fighting, but they are also very poor. They don't farm or spin yarn. There are only two ways to get the necessities of life, one is exchange and the other is robbery. In Zhu Di’s era, the Mongols mostly used the second method, which was quick and convenient. However, after Zhu Di’s several military teaching classes and the education method of fists, kicks and swords, Mongolia gradually realized that it would lose money if it continued to rob. And when robbing, they often can't get what they want. For example, your house is short of clothes and you want to grab a few pieces of cloth, but you can't meet them when you go out several times (they can't be ready for you to grab). Although the Mongols are good at fighting, they are not invincible.They also only have one head, and robbery is a bloody business, and it may end at any time.It is really not worthwhile to lose your life for a few bolts of cloth. So, after that, Mongolia began to take the first road - the road of peaceful development. They started doing business with the Ming government, but what business was there in Mongolia? Don't forget that although they don't engage in agriculture and handicrafts, they also have animal husbandry. Every household in the Mongolian tribes raises horses and sheep, and the way to get rich begins here. Under the initiative of the tribal leaders, the Mongolian tribes began to graze in large quantities, and the business grew bigger and bigger. The form of trade was mainly tribute. Every year, Mongolia regularly traded in Beijing, often bringing more than a thousand heads of livestock and thousands of furs. In our impression, there should be only one or two envoys, but the number of envoys sent by the Mongolian tribe should add a thousand words—one or two thousand. From ancient times to the present, it is estimated that no country will send thousands of diplomatic envoys at once, and these so-called envoys are actually small merchants in Mongolia. They are all driving their own cattle, sheep and horses to engage in foreign trade. It would be good to continue doing business in this way. After all, everyone gets what they need, and the Ming Dynasty is always in a dominant position in trade, with a trade surplus every year. Because the production of handicraft products has already formed a large scale, from the analysis of historical data, the Ming government at that time was indeed suspected of raising prices. The prices of various porcelain and textiles were indeed somewhat high, but the Mongols could only accept them in their entirety. The reason is also very simple, there is only one store in the world, there is no other branch, you can buy if you want, sell if you want, or disband if you don't want to! People in the Ming Dynasty could not eat beef and mutton, but the Mongols could not live without textiles and daily utensils, so they could not break up. However, in this seemingly lucrative business for the Ming Dynasty, there is a hidden crisis. In the Yexian period, due to the large demand, the tribute trade increased sharply. Originally, the business was only done once a year, but gradually developed to count tribute every year. Thousands of people came to do business each time, and the number of livestock fur and horses also increased greatly. .You must know that these livestock furs are not given away for free. The Ming Dynasty government needs to exchange a lot of things. Due to the large number of furs and handicrafts that do not fall from the sky, the Ming Dynasty government cannot find such furs for a while. More available from stock. The Ming government gradually realized that it seemed to have fallen into a trade trap, and the seemingly ignorant Mongolian tribes were actually very shrewd.They chose these cattle and sheep as trade products with deep consideration, because grazing cattle and sheep is almost free for these nomads. The labor cost required for grazing is actually negligible, because their daily life is grazing, and there is no other work to do other than this, so naturally there is no need to calculate lost wages.Cattle and sheep eat grass, which are natural resources. In the days when woolen sweaters were not popular, grassland desertification seemed to be a distant dream. After the cattle and sheep were raised, they were sent directly to the Ming Dynasty for exchange. One cow could be exchanged for many agricultural products and handicrafts of the Ming Dynasty.The export products of the Ming Dynasty did not fall from the sky. Sooner or later, the supply would exceed the demand. If this continues, what will happen to the country. And first, backed by his prestige and force to unify Mongolia, he played a few tricks. He used inferior horses as good ones and asked for higher prices. In addition, he reorganized his emissary team, stuffed a large number of robbers and thieves among them, and disturbed the residents along the way. Later, the thousands of people he sent Almost not for business, but for robbers along the way. The dumping behavior of the Mongolian tribe made the ministers of the Ming Empire very dissatisfied, and some ministers deliberately implemented some trade protection measures to limit the impact of Mongolian meat products on the domestic market. Among these ministers, there was one who was the most active in promoting this policy. I believe that to the surprise of many people, this person turned out to be Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen is a person who only cares about himself and does not care about the country. How can he be so active? It turned out that before this, every time he came to do business, he would bribe Wang Zhen, but after a long time, he forgot about it. So Mr. Wang suddenly became angry, ordered to verify the number of envoys, and then subtracted four-fifths of the amount due. Even if he did business first, he was dishonest and a profiteer, but he was still trustworthy after all, and the cattle and sheep were still given to you, but Wang Zhen suddenly became a foreign trade inspector, confiscating almost all of them, not even giving an invoice. He was also completely irritated first. Originally, it was only a threat of force, and on this basis, it was nothing more than to engage in some profiteering activities, but this time it was caught by the Wang Zhen inspection team, and it was severely fined once, and it also lost everything . He was eager to try something and wanted to make a name for himself, but he finally couldn't sit still. This incident made him find an excuse. He polished his sword, prepared his horse, and prepared to launch an attack. Thirty-five years ago, grandfather Mahamu was defeated by the huge empire in front of him, and now the opportunity for revenge has come!
