Which two characters were shaped by the Battle of Datengxia?

Which two characters were shaped by the Battle of Datengxia? One became the emperor's biological mother and the other became a famous eunuch.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, serious political corruption, strict class system and increasingly serious exploitation of the people led to frequent peasant uprisings all over the country, including some ethnic minorities in remote areas, such as Yao and Zhuang uprisings in Datengxia, Guangxi.

Let's talk about how the Battle of Datengxia was caused. What is Dateng Gorge? Dateng Gorge is located 60 miles northwest of Guiping County, Guangxi. It is named Dateng Gorge because there are many vines in the gorge, which span both sides. In the Ming Dynasty, the Datengxia area was inhabited by Yao and Zhuang. They feed on mountains and strive to develop this mountainous area.

So why did the working people who were so hardworking, sincere and far away from struggle embark on the road of uprising? Blame the Ming rulers for being ridiculous. They describe these ethnic minorities as omnipotent thieves, who not only harass them mentally, but also oppress them in life.

Officials in the Ming Dynasty always doubled the money and food of the Yao and Zhuang people and asked them to pay some chickens, ducks, fish and wine to the officials. Not counting this, these ethnic minorities are often threatened by some small officials, and working people without recourse are forced to sell their wives and children to make a living. The rulers of the Ming Dynasty used bloody slaughter to strengthen their rule over ethnic minorities.

Under the intense oppression, in the seventh year of Jingtai (1456), a large-scale uprising finally took place between Yao and Zhuang, and the insurgents quickly gathered tens of thousands of people. People of all ethnic groups all over the country also responded and joined the insurgents. They attacked the city all the way, and their power developed to Guangdong and other places.

More than 700 people from Datong Gorge Rebel Army bloodbath Wuzhou armory, and the increasing influence of the Rebel Army made the Ming government feel unprecedented pressure. In the first year of Chenghua (1465), the Ming government sent Han Yong, the imperial adviser of Youjidu, to Guangxi with an army of160,000 to suppress the Yao and Zhuang rebels.

Han Yongbing divided into five roads, gradually eliminated the insurgents, killed all the captured insurgents and arrested a group of innocent working people. But what Han Yong didn't expect was that one of these prisoners would become the biological mother of a generation of wise kings in the future, and one would become a big eunuch with power in one's hand.

Li was originally the daughter of a barbarian local official in Yuefu County, Guangxi. Her parents died when she was a child and she was raised by her relatives. She is well educated, smart and talented.

In the Battle of Datengxia, Han Yong was captured by the insurgents, but Han Yong didn't kill her. On the contrary, he saw that she was very talented, introduced her to the palace, and became a "banker" in charge of money. By chance, Li got to know Ming Xianzong. During the conversation, Ming Xianzong was not only infatuated with her appearance, but also amazed at her talent. So she took him into the harem and named him Ji.

Ji was pregnant with Xian Zong's favor, and the harem monopolized the power and persecuted all pregnant concubines. Ji is no exception, but under the cover and protection of the eunuch, she successfully saved the baby in her womb. After the child was born, eunuch Sharla Cheung secretly took the child to his own residence to hide his eyes and ears. This child is Zhu Shitang, the Ming emperor who later started Hongzhi Zhongxing. As emperor, Shu Fei was raised.

Wang Zhi is a Yao nationality in Datengxia. Some people say that Wang Zhi was a hero of the Ming Dynasty. The conquest of Liaodong and the attack on Jurchen made a fortune in Hetao and made a surprise attack on Mongolia, which contributed to the stable rule of the Ming Dynasty in this area. Some people say that Wang Zhi was a big traitor in the Ming Dynasty. As the general manager of the west factory, he has repeatedly set up a prison to harm one side. So how did centralized Wang Zhi become the most favored eunuch around Ming Xianzong?

To say that Wang Zhi can enter the palace is also related to Han Yong. In the Battle of Datengxia, Han Yong killed all the insurgents, but left some affection for young children. However, the fate of these children is also tragic. Although he was not killed, he was also classified as a sinner, commonly known as a "little sinner", waiting for castration and capital punishment, and then sent to the palace to be a eunuch.

Wang Zhi's fate should be the best among many eunuchs. He has been arranged beside Wan Guifei since he was a child. Because he took care of Wan Guifei properly, he won the love of Wan Guifei. He was quickly promoted to the eunuch of the imperial horse, and later took charge of the whole West Factory.
