However, Ming Yingzong still created a miracle: that is, Ming Yingzong was a rare real case in Chinese history, after the Qin Dynasty , in which a captured monarch was able to return home safely.
Of course, when I say after the Qin Dynasty, I mean that in the pre-Qin era, there were examples of monarchs from vassal states returning home safely after being captured.
1. Those monarchs who were captured and never returned
In fact, after the Qin Dynasty and before the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, there were too many monarchs in Chinese history who were captured by the barbarians in the north and could not return home for life. The most famous of
is of the Northern Song Dynasty , the second emperor of Huiqin . After Emperor Huiqin was captured by the Jin Army, he was exiled to the Five Kingdoms City of the Jin Dynasty (located in today's Yilan County, Heilongjiang Province). Throughout his life, Emperor Huiqin of the Northern Song Dynasty failed to return to the Central Plains.
Of course, the most vicissitudes of life are those of the late Jin emperor. After the Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty came to the throne, he had a tough attitude towards the Liao Dynasty, so Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty Yelv Deguang sent troops south to attack the Later Jin Dynasty. Then various Jiedu envoys from the Later Jin Dynasty chose to watch the fun, which led to Emperor Chu of the Later Jin Dynasty being captured by the Liao Dynasty and then escorted to today's Liaoning. Later, the emperor's title of Emperor Chu of the Later Jin Dynasty was also deposed by the Liao Dynasty court. At the same time, the Liao Dynasty required the Emperor Chu of the Later Jin Dynasty to solve life problems on his own. In desperation, the emperor of the later Jin Dynasty had to become a farmer to support himself.
After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains experienced two monarchs of the Later Han , three monarchs of the Later Zhou , and the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty. The emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty died late in the reign of Zhao Kuangyin. It can be said that after he was deposed, the Central Plains went through two dynasty changes and the replacement of six monarchs. This kind of vicissitudes of life makes people sigh when thinking about it.
Like the two emperors of Huiqin and later generations, the emperors of the later Jin Dynasty also failed to return to the Central Plains.
In addition, there are many similar examples: for example, Emperor Huai of the Western Jin Dynasty and Emperor Min of the Jin Dynasty were all captured by the Hu people.
Therefore, it is really a miracle that Ming Yingzong was able to escape unscathed and return to the Ming Dynasty from Oala. It can even be said that Ming Yingzong created history.
So, why did Ming Yingzong create miracles?
2, backer
The fate of the captured monarch actually really depends on the development of his country. In other words, even if the monarch is captured, his country will still be his backer.
Emperor Huai of Jin and Emperor Min of Jin were killed by the Huns shortly after being captured by the Huns. The reason is very simple: the Huns believed that the Jin Dynasty was actually dead, and at least they had lost the ability to retaliate against the Huns. At that time, the Jin Dynasty (including Jiangdong, where the Eastern Jin was later established) had resistance to the Jin Dynasty everywhere. The Xiongnu leader believed that the Jin Dynasty was about to be defeated, so Emperor Huai of Jin and Emperor Min of Jin had no value in existence.
Emperor Huiqin was humiliated at first, but later received relatively good treatment from the Jin Dynasty. The main reason was that at first, the Jin Dynasty believed that with the capture of Emperor Huiqin, the Song Dynasty had perished. Therefore, letting Emperor Huiqin live was already a great mercy. But I never thought that the Southern Song Dynasty would be established, and there would be generals like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. The Jin Dynasty did not intend to do things absolutely, so it had to leave some room. Therefore, at least Song Qinzong was relatively well treated.
The situation of Ming Yingzong was actually the same. Not long after Ming Yingzong was captured, all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty supported Zhu Qiyu as the new emperor. This was Emperor Jingtai. Jingtai After the imperial court opened, he proclaimed Ming Yingzong as the Supreme Emperor, and at the same time defeated the military attack of the Oara army. This forced the Wala leader to treat Ming Yingzong with caution: after all, the Ming Dynasty was still very powerful, and Ming Yingzong was still the Supreme Emperor. If Ming Yingzong was killed, it would be easy for the Ming Dynasty to take revenge on Wala. If Ming Yingzong was kept for a long time, it would only waste Wala's rations.
So after thinking about it, Wala had no choice but to send Mingying Zongli out of the country and back to the Ming Dynasty.
Assume that if the Ming Dynasty failed to defeat Oara's military attack, perhaps the fate of Ming Yingzong would not be much better than that of the Huiqin Emperors.
