Regarding Liang Guogong Lan Yu, Xiao Chen heard his master mention it more than once.
As Liao Xianghe said, he is just a martial artist through and through.
Lan Yu is from Dingyuan, Anhui Province. She first served under her brother-in-law Chang Yuchun. She charged into battle and was invincible. As a famous general of the generation, Chang Yuchun had a very high self-esteem and could be said to be arrogant. However, he only had a preference for Lan Yu, often in Mingtai.
Zhu Yuanzhang praised him in front of his ancestor.
This is not to say that Lan Yu is related to himself, but that Lan Yu's ability to lead troops in battle really makes Chang Yuchun admire him very much.
But Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe Chang Yuchun's words easily. He had too many famous generals. Lieutenant General Xu Da, 'Chang Shiwan' Chang Yuchun, nephew Li Wenzhong...each of them has made great achievements in battle.
, the junior blue jade was not ranked at all, and could not enter the eyes of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
If the young Lan Yu is expected to become a famous general in the Ming Dynasty, then what he needs is experience. Fortunately, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were strong captives in the north and barbarian vassals in the south. After Chang Yuchun died early, Lan Yu often served as his deputy.
Go on an expedition with your seniors.
From the fourth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu followed Fu Youde to conquer Sichuan and Xu Da to conquer the desert... Mountain warfare, cavalry warfare, and firearms warfare were all well-experienced.
In the 14th year of Hongwu's reign, during the campaign against Yunnan, Lan Yu captured Kunming without spending a single soldier, then captured Dali, and finally captured Can Yuan Pingzhang alive in Qujing. He looked like a rookie general.
Lan Yu's bravery was recognized by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, in the evaluation of the Yunnan Campaign, Lan Yu's contribution was particularly great. Not only did Lan Yu's salary increase by 500 dan, but Lan Yu's daughter was also canonized as Concubine Zhu Chun, King of Shu.
For most people, such treatment should have reached the pinnacle of life, but for Lan Yu, this is not his pinnacle, because he still has regrets in his heart.
He will never forget that in the fifth year of Hongwu, he accompanied Xu Da on the northern expedition. As a pioneer of the Central Route Army, he witnessed tens of thousands of brothers being buried in Mobei and buried in the wilderness.
This is a pain that Lan Yu will never forget in her life.
The person who made Lan Yu fall into the sand was Wang Baobao, a famous general in the late Yuan Dynasty who was hailed by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty as the "wonderful man in the world". Wang Baobao feigned defeat and lured Lan Yu to go deep alone, eventually leading to the defeat of coach Xu Da.
He made a mistake in judgment and suffered a disastrous failure in his life.
It can be said that Wang Baobao is a thorn in Lan Yu's heart. For a military commander with ambition, only by defeating those who have defeated him again can he surpass himself and be considered complete.
Unfortunately, Lan Yu will never have this opportunity. Wang Baobao died in the eighth year of Hongwu. But although Wang Baobao died, the Mongolian iron heel still exists.
In the 20th year of Hongwu, Naha, the Taiwei of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, sent troops to Jinshan and repeatedly invaded the Liaodong area of the Ming Dynasty.
This Nahachu was once captured by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Taizu thought of his young age and let him return to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. But thirty years later, the full-fledged Nahachu actually began to invade the borders of the Ming Dynasty again.
Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was furious and appointed Feng Sheng as the general, Fu Youde, and Lan Yu as the left and right deputy generals. He led the Ming army of 200,000 people to march north. This time, Lan Yu was the pioneer officer - the left deputy general.
On the third day of February, the coach arrived in Tongzhou. After learning that Yuan soldiers were stationed in Qingzhou, he ordered Lan Yu to lead a light cavalry raid in the snow.
Attacking is Lan Yu's specialty. From Tongzhou to Gyeongju, covering more than 1,300 miles, Lan Yu led his elite troops to reach their destination with flying colors. The Mongolian garrison was not prepared at all and was captured in one fell swoop.
Lan Yu worked hard to pursue the victory. When the elite troops arrived at Jinshan, Nahachu's home base, Nahachu weighed his own strength and finally had to abandon the city and surrender.
After defeating the Mongolian iron hoof in one fell swoop and pulling out the thorn that had been stuck in her heart for many years, Lan Yu was in a very good mood and her merits were considered complete.
Xiao Chen had always believed that Lan Yu's unjust case was just a victim of the political struggle in the imperial court and a burial party of Prince Yiwen. When Liao Xianghe suddenly said that the current emperor was also a participant in Lan Yu's case, he couldn't help but feel stunned.
"It was Taizu who killed Lan Yu. Even if he was skinned, it was Taizu's intention. What does it have to do with the current emperor?" Looking at Liao Xianghe, Xiao Chen couldn't help but ask.
"Liang Guogong is the brother-in-law of Kaiping King Chang Yuchun, and Kaiping King Chang Yuchun is the father-in-law of Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao. As the uncle of the crown prince, Liang Guogong tried his best to protect Prince Yiwen's status as the crown prince, and he was in conflict with the prince who had always coveted the throne.
The king of Yan, Zhu Di, made enemies."
"Because they are related to Prince Yiwen, the two of them are very close. When Liang Guogong returned to the court from Mongolia and met Prince Yiwen, he once said to Prince Yiwen, 'I observed that King Zhu Di of Yan was in his fief.
Every move is exactly the same as that of the emperor. King Yan is not an ordinary person. I have found someone to see his appearance and he has the spirit of an emperor. I am afraid there will be rebellion, so you must be careful." It was these words that made Zhu Di feel resentful.
.When Taizu later convicted Liang Guogong, Da Jin slandered and jealously stirred up the anger in Taizu's heart, so that Liang Guogong was skinned alive in the end."
The anger in Liao Xianghe's eyes was almost burning.
"You are enemies of the Yongle Dynasty because you want to avenge Liang Guogong?" Xiao Chen asked softly.
According to Liao Xianghe, since Lan Yu supports the prince, he must be the enemy of King Yan. Attacking one's enemies, no matter how cruel, is within the understandable scope.
In political struggles, no one is right or wrong. As a former member of Lan Yu, it is normal for Liao Xianghe to be filled with such indignation. But as a bystander, the emperor's attack is understandable.
"Revenge? With this kind of hatred, even if you kill Zhu Di ten thousand times, you can't relieve the hatred in our hearts. Liang Guogong has made great military achievements in his life, and he strongly supports the crown prince. But you Zhu family members are not in good health, and you can't
He died young but insisted on dragging others along with him to be buried with him. In order to prevent future generations from saying that he killed innocent people indiscriminately, he even accused Liang Guo's police of unwarranted treason. This Zhu Yuanzhang's face was really ugly.
pole."
"We not only want to overthrow the Yongle Dynasty, we want to make the entire Zhu family have no foothold in the Ming Dynasty."
Liao Xianghe's words became extremely cold at the end.
Looking at Liao Xianghe, Xiao Chen shook his head gently: "From my personal point of view, I sympathize with what happened to Duke Liang, and I don't object to you avenging him. However, since you are from Dongchang, I have to deal with it."
The emperor is responsible and responsible to the court. Therefore, I have no regrets in arresting you and killing all the forces you have hidden in Jinyiwei."
"Well, I am a prisoner, and we are two opposites. How can I ask for your support?" Looking at Xiao Chen, Liao Xianghe smiled faintly.
