This person was born as a beggar, but he guarded the Jiangshan for Zhu Yuanzhang for 300 years, and was still loyal after the fall of the Ming Dynasty
Speaking of the Mu Wangfu, everyone will think of the Mu Wangfu on the "Deer Ding". Mu Wangfu sat in Yunnan for many years, guarding the Jiangshan for the Zhu family. This Mu Wangfu was a rare palace with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty, which accompanied the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years. What is the origin of this Mu Wangfu? It actually reassured Zhu Yuanzhang, who was too suspicious. Today, I will listen to the editor carefully.
The first prince of the Mu Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son, who followed Old Zhu to fight the world. When Zhu Yuanzhang established Daming, he made him king and guarded Yunnan. At this point, the descendants of the Mu family guarded Yunnan and guarded the world for the Zhu family.
In the last year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army revolt led to great chaos in the world and the displacement of the people. 8-year-old Xiao Muying followed her mother to escape the chaos of the soldiers, and as a result, her mother died on the way to escape. Mu Ying became a little beggar. Mu Ying asked for food all the way to Fengyang, Anhui. At this time, he met Zhu Yuanzhang, the general of the peasant rebel army. Probably Zhu Yuanzhang saw Mu Ying and touched the scene for a while. Therefore, Mu Ying was adopted as a righteous son, and it can be said that Mu Ying was the first son of Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang received Mu Ying, Mu Ying was called Zhu Ying. Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang had his own son, in order to break Mu Ying's thoughts, he gave Mu Ying a surname, that is, "Mu", which as the name suggests is like the meaning of Mu Huang'en. Zhu Yuanzhang's move is also to let Mu Ying recognize himself and find his own position. Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning is very clear, although you are my son, after all, you are a son, don't try to compete with the descendants of the Zhu family for the world. Mu Ying's command ability is very good, but he has never thought of anything else, his heart is loyal to Daming, and future generations are Daming town to guard the southwest.
Mu Ying followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the world, and at the age of eighteen he held an important position in the army. Zhu Ying can be called a generation of generals, from Jiangxi to Fujian, from Gansu to Sichuan, almost half of China. It has made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Mu Ying's sealing of the king can be said to be well deserved. Mu Ying's honor was given by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also deserved it. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Ying followed Fu Youde and Lan Yu to lead 300,000 troops to conquer the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan. After taking Yunnan, Fu Youde and Lanyu Banshi returned to the dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang asked Mu Ying to stay in Yunnan. Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in this righteous son even surpassed that of his own son. Otherwise, he would not have entrusted such a large piece of land to him to guard. Zhu Yuanzhang has the grace of reconstruction for Mu Ying, and Mu Ying is also bowing to the Zhu family world. Only such a father-son relationship has the mu wangfu, which has been famous for a hundred years.
Zhu Yuanzhang was kind to the Mu family, and the descendants of the Mu family also respected the old Zhu family from the heart. In the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family swore to guard Yunnan to the death, and never did anything out of the ordinary. Even in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Mu Dynasty still respected the Zhu family as always. This affection and respect is by the heart. The Mu family has guarded the Jiangshan for the Zhu family for three hundred years, after all, they have become accustomed to this kind of respect.
It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang kills the Demon King and does not talk about feelings, but in the matter of Mu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang is very affectionate. It is precisely because of Zhu Yuanzhang's rare family affection that he has returned to the stability of Yunnan for three hundred years. In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he always regarded Mu Ying as a son, and compared with Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, Mu Ying's threat was far greater than theirs. Despite this, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not get rid of Mu Ying. What is certain is that Zhu Yuanzhang is not a good monarch, but a good father.
