Mu Ying: the emperor Holocaust survivor

in 1380, after the first Ming emperor came to power, launched a large Themovement of the Qing Qing heroes of scale. First, Prime Minister Hu wasaccused of conspiracy to violate the law and was killed, then important figuressuch as Tudao Xiangxiang and Zhong Cheng. Ten years later, he still didnot forget to promulgate the "Record of the Revealed Party," andexecuted founding heroes such as Gong Li, a good man of South Korea, LuZhongheng, a descendant of the late Teng Guogong, and Gu's descendants, convictedof conspiring with Hu.

In 1393, Zhu Yuanzhang's cleaning campaign reached its climax. CommanderJiang Zhan condemned Sapphire's rebellion, which not only killed Sapphire butalso implicated thousands of others. At this point, a large number of outstandingmilitary personnel were basically cleared up in the early MingDynasty. Only Mu Ying, who is in Yunnan, can be said to be an evergreentree in the political circles of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's cleanup work is unique in ancient history.

As early as 1381, Zhu Yuanzhang began to deploy large-scale offensives in thesouthwestern region, because he failed to recruit soldiers to buy horses onseveral occasions, and calmed down the Mongolian king Wang Xiliang. TheMing Army advanced in two armies, meeting Fu Youde, Lan Yu, and Mu Ying west ofHuguang, while Guoying and Hu Haiyang went straight south fromSichuan. Weak Mongolian and Yuan local troops have succumbed to suchattacks. By early 1382, the last king Liang personally killed Zarawami,and the Ming army basically controlled most of Yunnan's key areas.

Prior to the invasion of Yunnan by the Ming army, the rule of the CentralPlains dynasties in the past was not very stable. From the Emperor Hanwu'sadministration of Kunming to the comprehensive retreat policy of the SongDynasty, the emperor could not effectively realize his wishes for theYunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Even the Mongol Yuan Empire in its heyday endedthe shogun general that controlled the Dali government and continued to acknowledgethe existence of the Duan clan. Only the Ming Army, whose style isextremely violent, will resolutely resolve their subordinate requirements inaccordance with the old calendar and be prepared to hold all places in theirown hands.

When the Mongolian army invaded Dali, it retained the original Duan clan.

However, the Ming Dynasty soon discovered that the situation in Yunnan wasextremely complicated, and the cost of direct control was veryhigh. Therefore, it can only be the same as local toast. Zhu Yuanzhangis obviously not satisfied with the near-freedom situation in Yunnan, but hecan only take advantage of this situation. The Ming Army calmed down thelocal Wei Suo Army in Yunzhou in accordance with established practice. Inaddition, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty defected to military assistance,mainly controlling large cities and military fortresses. The followingyear, when Fu Youde and Lan Yu returned to North Korea, Mu Ying remained incharge of the military and political situation as a general.

Yunnan at the time actually had a relatively independent culture. After600 years of governance in Nanzhao and Dali, the local people have becomeaccustomed to using their own unique Bo language and have a large number ofancient books and records. The founding father of the early Ming Dynastywas born of a great old man. He knew the importance of protecting localcustoms, and unilaterally launched a large-scale culturaldestruction. Many ancient books and records of Nanzhao and Dali,regardless of their content, were collected and destroyed. Therefore, iffuture generations want to study the local history in detail, it is difficultto find reliable first-hand information.

When the Ming army attacked Yunnan, it planned to change the local pattern.

Mu Ying's achievements in governing Yunnan are also quite gratifying. Inaddition to suppressing several chieftain rebellions, he also presided overpopulation migration and construction of barracks. With the support of ZhuYuanzhang, millions of people were rushed from Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi,Huguang and other places to the southwest. Become a people's livelihoodsystem project that fully served the Ming garrison.

As a reward, Ming Taizu also changed his original intention of keeping Mu Yingtemporarily in the town and ordered him to protect Yunnan for generations sothat the central government can manage Yunnan for a long time. But from apersonal point of view, this arrangement is also a form of protection.

Portrait of Mu Ying himself

Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless towards heroes, but Mu Ying was adopted by him whenhe was 8 years old. He is the typical son of his family. Therefore,Mu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang have deep feelings for each other. When sheadded

that, due to the mass slaughter of heroes, the military commander of the MingDynasty quickly withered. In contrast, Mu Ying, who has a special personalrelationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, is particularly important. This may alsoexplain why Zhu Yuanzhang felt particularly sad for his death. Judgingfrom the process of the Jingjing battle, Ming Taizu
