First, the high-profile Mu Ying was originally an orphan. His parents died when he was 8 years old, and he lived on the streets as a little beggar. When Mu Ying lived in Haozhou, she met Zhu Chongba, a lifelong aristocrat. Zhu Yuanzhang himself was born as a bitter child and a waif. After a narrow escape in troubled times and suffering from war and famine, I feel the same way about Mu Ying. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Shi regarded him as their own and tried their best to raise him. In a sense, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted Mu Ying and had the idea of training him as his successor.
But then Zhu Yuanzhang adopted several children one after another. With the birth of Zhu Di and other biological sons, Mu Ying was no longer regarded as an heir by Zhu Yuanzhang. But anyway, Mu Ying first followed Zhu Yuanzhang, which made him learn the most from Zhu Yuanzhang, and his excellent relationship with Ma Huanghou and Zhu Biao made Zhu Yuanzhang highly valued him.
Second, guarding the frontier. Later, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Mu Ying was named Pinghou Xi. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang still believed MuYing and entrusted him with the important task. MuYing would naturally go all out. At that time, due to the loose political system in the Yuan Dynasty, Yunnan was not a unified administrative unit before the Ming Dynasty, and there were many unstable forces. In order to ensure the stability of remote areas, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Mu Ying and other generals to lead 300,000 troops to pacify the remnants of Yunnan.
After the pacification of Yunnan, in order to effectively control this place, Mu Ying was selected as a famous minister and a respected person to guard Yunnan and implement the central policy, thus opening his first generation of Mu Wangmi era. Since then, the Mu family has been hammering and guarding Yunnan for nearly 300 years, and has been loyal to their duties until the demise of the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be in the same strain as the Ming regime.
