The battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not only occur once or twice, nor did it only happen in the Jiajing Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty captured Dadu and Emperor Shun of Yuan fled north, the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan Dynasty never stopped. By the time of the Jiajing Dynasty, the two sides were intermittent, and they had been entangled for nearly two hundred years.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty had an absolute advantage. After the Hongwu Dynasty's eight northern expeditions, the Yongle Dynasty's five out-of-the-north destiny, the Northern Yuan Dynasty had only the ability to resist and had no power to fight back. Especially the powerful general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the King of Henan, the right prime minister of the Central Secretariat Kuo Temur, the famous Wang Baobao, the tribes of the Northern Yuan were beaten to the point of being unable to raise their heads by the Ming Dynasty, and countless surrendered.

Originally, as the Ming Dynasty became increasingly powerful, it seemed only a matter of time before the collapse of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Whether it was a competition of economy or military, the Northern Yuan that fled outside the Great Wall could not be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty that dominated the Central Plains.

However, during the Zhengtong period of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, an invasion of Yeshen, the Ola tribe of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, completely overturned the world's perception.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was strong and powerful, with a large number of troops stationed in the nine major towns. There were also 500,000 elite soldiers left by Chengzu when he left the north of the desert in the capital. The Ming Dynasty's national strength was at its peak. It can be said that no country in the whole world could compete with it.

At that time, the Northern Yuan Taishi Yesen of the Ola tribe was attacking the Urianha tribe of the Northern Yuan Tatar tribe. He only had tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, and he couldn't even raise all military rations, so he had to beg for grain from the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty did not provide food, so it became angry first and led its army southward and began to attack the Ming Dynasty.

His original intention is actually just to grab some food. I lowered my head and beg for food from you. If you don’t give it to me in the Ming Dynasty, I can only snatch it myself.

This kind of robbery invasion often occurs. There is no grain produced on the grassland, and the hungry tribes of the Northern Yuan will go south to grab grain. Anyway, they are all cavalry. As long as they don’t get entangled with the Ming border army, the Ming border army will have no choice.

At the beginning, Yexian really never thought about defeating the main force of the Ming army, nor did he think about capturing the Ming Emperor. He had only tens of thousands of cavalry under his command, which was not the same order of magnitude as the millions of border troops and the 500,000 imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty. How could he have imagined these things? His original intention was to grab some food.

However, at this time, Emperor Yingzong of Ming actually believed the slander of the eunuch Wang Zhen, and led an army of more than 200,000 to the front line of Xuanfu.

To be honest, Wang Zhen never thought of fighting with Yexian and defeating the Beiyuan Ola tribe. The reason why he took Yingzong to personally expedition was just to go back to his hometown to show off, because his hometown was in Xuanfu Town and Weizhou.

He was now in power, and even Yingzong obeyed his own words and was so awesome that he wanted to take Yingzong to Weizhou for a walk, meet his relatives, and have a good glory.

Unexpectedly, something happened during this turn, because he led the main force of the Ming army around, and the Ming army on the front line collapsed. When he heard that the Ming army on the front line collapsed, he was even more frightened. He wanted to take Yingzong back to Beijing, and sometimes he wanted to take Yingzong to his hometown of Weizhou to show off. At this moment, the Ming army's marching route became like a storm. He ran towards the capital, and sometimes he ran towards Weizhou, running around and running on the road.

In fact, at this time, as long as he brought Yingzong into Juyong Pass, he would be fine. Even the gods in Yesen could not lead tens of thousands of cavalry to break through Juyong Pass, which had more than 200,000 Ming troops stationed.

However, he still wanted to take Yingzong to his hometown Weizhou for a walk. So, like a lunatic, he took Yingzong to run around Xuanfu Town, exhausting more than 200,000 Ming troops. Not to mention killing the enemy, he would have cramped his calves even when he stood there without moving.

As a result, Ye Yi first chased Tumu Fort, picked up a bargain and an emperor for nothing. More than 200,000 elite Ming troops defeated without fighting. Yingzong was captured, and famous generals such as British Duke Zhang Fu, Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong were all killed in battle.

As the saying goes, the eunuch Wang Zhen and the Beiyuan Taishi Yexian "joined" to create a miracle in the history of human war. More than 200,000 elite Ming troops collapsed without fighting a war with the Tatar cavalry. You must know that the total of Yexian's cavalry is less than 80,000!

This ridiculous battle also became the turning point of the century-old war between the Ming and the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty inexplicably declined from prosperity. The Northern Yuan tribes began to take the initiative in the battlefield, and from then on, they turned into defense to offense.

The Battle of Tumu Fort ended nearly a hundred years, and the Ming Dynasty was also "invaded" by the Northern Yuan Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. The important towns on the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty were increasingly deteriorating. The Ming Dynasty border army also became increasingly weak due to the prevalence of corruption in the court and the officials' struggle for power and profit, which led to the Northern Yuan tribes bullying the Ming Dynasty even more unscrupulously. As long as the heroes who could show their talents on the grasslands, they would almost lead their troops to the Ming Dynasty to rob.

This is especially true for Ji Nang, the right wing of the Tatar tribe of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Since he dominated the grassland, he has come to the Ming Dynasty to fight the autumn wind almost every year.

The same is true this year. In February, he assembled more than 100,000 troops in Hetao and prepared to go to the Ming Dynasty to fight Qiufeng.

At this time, going to the Ming Dynasty to fight Qiufeng had already formed a certain routine, that is, leading the army to go around Yansui, Ningxia, Ganzhou and other towns in Shaanxi to see if there is any cheapness. If it really doesn't work, then go to Xuanfu, Datong and other towns in Shanxi to rob.

Ji Nang was also familiar with this. He even arranged spies in various border towns, and he knew the movements of the Ming border army.

He first led his army to Ningxia Town, closest to Hetao, and prepared to try the Ming army's condition. As a result, he reported it carefully that Ningxia Town was well defended and the border troops were quite ambitious. If he rushed in, he might suffer heavy losses. So he immediately turned his head and led his army to Yansui Town next to him.

As a result, Yansui Town’s detailed work also came to report, and the defense here was very tight.

He had suffered a great loss here. If he tried his best, he would not have gained a lot of losses. So he turned his head and led his army to Ganzhou Town to the west.

At this time, the meticulous work finally came to report that the defense in Ganzhou Town did not seem to be very strict and seemed to have great potential.

However, just as Ji Nang was about to lead his army to advance and robbed him happily, the general of Ganzhou Town Xianning Hou Qiuluan sent an envoy.

What's the situation?

Could it be that the Xianning Hou Qiuluan is preparing to lead his army to surrender?

This kind of thing has not happened. Although the Ming border army is very loyal, the generals leading the army are not necessarily loyal to the emperor and the country. There are always some cowards who are corrupt and use their relationships and means to become generals or governors in order to corrupt food and pay, and become generals of a town or governor. Once such people encounter powerful enemies, it is not impossible to surrender.

Ji Nang naturally has great expectations for such people. It would be great if he could take down a border town without bloodshed, and even use it to drive straight into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and robbery it at will.

He quickly sent away his generals and guards, and then ordered people to invite the envoy of the Xianning Hou Qiuluan into the commander's tent. This surrender is not a glorious thing, so he naturally wants to give people a chance to meet alone.

The person who came was Shi Yi, the confidant of Hou Qiuluan of Xianning. He did not come to discuss surrender with Ji Nang. Hou Qiuluan of Xianning is very ambitious. How could he surrender to Ji Nang for no reason and ruin his future?

After Shi Yi entered the tent, he respectfully bowed to the marquis of Xianning Hou Qiuluan and said, "The villain Shi Yi met with the king."

Ji Nang nodded with a smile and said, "Well, what's the matter with Marquis Xianning who sent you here?"

Shi Yitian said shamelessly: "King, our marquis doesn't want to fight with the king, so he specially sent villains to make peace."

It turns out that I am here to seek peace, it’s okay. If I don’t beat you, I have to give you some benefits, but he is here to get benefits. He naturally cannot get such things that can get benefits without a single soldier.

However, he also deeply understood the way of negotiations. He knew that at this time he could not show a very interested appearance, but should have shown no interest.
