Lan Yu was an outstanding military figure in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, and his military ability was not even inferior to that of his contemporaries Li Wenzhong, Chang Yuchun and other famous generals, but because of his shallow seniority, he mostly used the position of deputy general to conquer the battlefield, conquer Sichuan, solicit Tubo, and attack the Northern Yuan, which can be described as a meritorious achievement, and was later executed by Zhu Yuanzhang for conspiracy to commit treason, and the number of people in the company reached tens of thousands, known in history as the "Blue Jade Case".
I think that if blue jade rebels, the probability of success is not large, just on military ability and bravery value, blue jade may not be inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang, but if you want to defeat Zhu Yuanzhang, it is not only by brute force, blue jade success conditions are not sufficient, so it is difficult to achieve things.
First, sapphire does not have enough soldiers and horses to feed and grass
The most basic thing in fighting a war is soldiers, horses, grain and grass. The grain and grass consumed by the Blue Jade Department in the past operations were obtained only by Zhu Yuanzhang's allocation, and once it was separated from Zhu Yuanzhang, Blue Jade had no stable logistical supplies.
The same is true of the soldiers and horses, Blue Jade's soldiers and soldiers are all eating the grain of the old Zhu family, most of them are more aware of the orthodox status of the Ming Dynasty, and the family hostages of the army are almost all in the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, it is difficult to commit rebellion for blue jade's own selfish desires, and blue jade's control over his own army is obviously insufficient.
On the other hand, after the founding of the people's republic, Zhu Yuanzhang had the resources of soldiers, horses, cities, grain and grass throughout the country, and even if a blue jade with a name and no real name wanted to rebel, he had no conditions.
Second, Sapphire does not have a complete entrepreneurial team
But those who win the world must have a perfect entrepreneurial team. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, there is Xu Da who leads the army to fight, Li Shanchang who engages in logistics, and Liu Bowen who gives advice, so he can be invincible and unfavorable, and who is Blue Jade? In addition to a few martial arts generals who can fight, what else, the division of labor in the team is unreasonable, even if Blue Jade has the talent of heaven, it is impossible to do all the work of allocating grain and grass, killing the enemy, giving advice, pacifying the people, and so on.
In addition, the few henchmen under Lan Yu 's henchmen (such as Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong) were also brave and unscrupulous, not enough to take on a big responsibility.
Third, the Blue Jade Division is unknown
The Establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Taiping Days longed for by the common people have arrived, the country is in a time of rapid development and prosperity, at this time Blue Jade will rise up because of personal grievances, so that the people will fall back into war, not only the division is unknown, but it is still moving against the current, which is bound to be unpopular.
In addition, Lan Yu is Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and Chang Yu Chun is the father-in-law of Prince Zhu Biao, so Lan Yu is the uncle of the Crown Princess, who is related to the Prince, and has an extraordinary relationship with the old Zhu family, if there is a rebellion, it is a rebellion that is not tolerated by the state law and family rules.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Blue Jade's rebellion was not enough to worry about, and it was almost impossible to happen, but he was still very jealous, just like he knew that although the dog could not beat people, it would still hurt if he was bitten, and finally decided to strike first and kill this hidden danger for the Ming Dynasty.
