One hundred thousand Tatar cavalry invaded.

Threaten the capital...

His uncle Wang Chonggu served as governor of Shaanxi, Yan, Ning, Gansu, Jin, and Xuan, and then became governor of Xuan.

Wang Chonggu gained power, and together with Gao Gong, the chief minister at the time, he strongly advocated negotiating peace with the Tatar Khan.

But at that time.

The elites of the Ming Dynasty are not stupid. Although the Ming Dynasty has problems of one kind or another, they have not fallen to the point of asking for peace!

So in the fifth year of Longqing's reign, more than 80% of the courtiers and Wu Xundou did not agree to negotiate peace with me, citing the lessons of the fall of the Song Dynasty.

How could I, the Ming Dynasty, do something as weak as the Song Dynasty? The emotionally weak Song Dynasty was destroyed by others, lost its species, and was bullied by other countries everywhere. Have you forgotten the lesson?

What you are doing is not fooling around.

It has been two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. When have I ever felt so aggrieved and surrendered to the Tatars? It’s a shame you can say it out loud!

So the crowd was excited.

The government and the public were in an uproar.

However.

This seemingly ridiculous thing was actually accomplished by the Gao Gong cabinet with Puzhou Shanxi merchants at its core and a governor named Wang Chonggu who was a Shanxi merchant.

Why this was possible was because the then Emperor Longqing, a wimp who lived in the shadow of his father, was frightened by a hundred thousand Tatar cavalry.

Shivering...

Seeking medical attention in an emergency.

He just wanted to survive in this world and never thought of raising troops to prepare for war. He even let go of his powers wantonly in order to please the Shanxi merchant group headed by Gao Gong.
