Zhengtong was kidnapped today. Xuande's eldest son, The Emperor only twenty-two years old. Zhengtong having no experience in the army, decided to call a counter-attack.
His army not prepared at all, fought the Mongols. The Mongols got passed the Great Wall as they raced to attack Beijing Zhengtong took poor advice so the Chinese Army was conquered.
The Mongols had no problem overwhelming their opponents. They killed by the thousands but kidnapped one man, The Emperor. They kept him as their hostage to try and compromise with the Chinese. China refused any trade instead they took measures into their own hand.
Instead of taking Zhengtong back they appointed a new Emperor, Jingtai. Very frustrated The Mogols let Zhengtong free because they had no use of him anymore.Though they haven't restored him to power yet. Jingtai will remain The Emperor. This kidnapping caused the government to upgrade the Great Wall. They added a second line of defense. Adding to the Great Wall is because China is wary about The Mongols to the north.
This is a good start, but needs a couple of revisions. First, You need to make sure the sentence structure makes sense. Some of the sentences are confusingly worded. Also, please polish for spelling, etc. Finally, be careful not to interject opinion.
