Let's talk about Mu Ying, the ancestor of Mu. Mu Ying and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang are both from Anhui. Mu Ying, 1344, from Dingyuan County, Bozhou City, Anhui Province, is now from Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu who is sixteen years older than him, was born in Anhui Haozhou Zhongli, and the two families have a very close relationship.
By the end of the Yuan Dynasty, people's lives were bleak and society was in turmoil. At this time, the Red Scarf Army raised the flag to launch a peasant uprising, and the war quickly spread in the Jianghuai area. The Yuan court immediately sent troops to suppress it, and the land war in Jiangbei continued, making a mess. Mu Ying, who had already lost her father, lived a life of wandering and exile with her mother. But a year later, Mu Ying's mother died on the way to escape. Mu Ying, who was only 8 years old, became a lonely outcast.
After the establishment of the Daming regime, Mu Ying was promoted to be a town general and a prefect's office, and transferred to the prefect's office as his assistant. As the military central unit of the Ming Dynasty, after the establishment of the new regime, military affairs were as chaotic as Sang Ma. Mu Yingsi is clear, smart and agile, efficient, and handles all kinds of things in an orderly way.
Mu Ying finally made a difference, and Ma Huanghou was amazed at it, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, was also moved by it. Mu Ying left, and his eldest son, Chun Mu, succeeded him. After Mu Chun's death, Mu Ying's second son Mu Sheng succeeded to the throne. 1406 (the fourth year of Yongle), Mu Sheng made great contributions to the surging conquest of Annan, and Ming Chengzu made him the Duke of Qiandongnan. After his death, he was posthumously named "Dingyuan King".
