Chengbu County Chronicles" contains, the ancestor of the famous general Lan Yu of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Changjian, who followed Yang Zaisi to be sealed in Fucheng in Chengbu during the Five Dynasties. In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, due to the war, Lan Yu's father Lan Chunying moved to Dingyuan County in Anhui with his family.
Therefore, Lan Yu's hometown is both in Chengbu and Dingyuan, and his ancestral hometown, that is, his grandfather's hometown, is Baoqing Chengbu. This is a complete explanation of the issue of Lanyu's ancestry.
Lan Yu, a brave and warlike general, once made great achievements in the wars of the early years of the Ming Dynasty. Born before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang's army, and served as the commander of the army under the account of his brother-in-law Chang Yuchun.
With his bravery and resourcefulness, he gradually rose to the rank of Senhu and Commander, and later to the rank of Governor. He followed Fu Youde, the general of the expedition to the west, to Sichuan and conquered Jinli; followed the general Xu Da's northern expedition and defeated the main force of the Yuan army in Chaoshan Mountain, Tushu River and other places; He led his troops to capture Xinghe and captured 59 people including Yuan Guogong Tieli Michi.
In the eleventh year of Hongwu, he joined forces with another fellow countryman, Mu Ying, to fight against the rebellion in Xifan, and in the second year, he put down the rebellion and returned to the dynasty, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Yongchang, given a world coupon, and 2,500 stones.
In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, he and Mu Ying once again joined forces to march to Yunnan, and defeated Yuan Pingzhang Darima in Qujing, and the Liang King of the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan was forced to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. In this expedition, Lan Yu's military exploits were the greatest, so he increased his appetite by 500 stones, and his daughter was also canonized as the concubine of Zhu Chun, the king of Shu.
Lan Yu's life was full of bravery and glory, and his deeds have always been praised by people.
In the twentieth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1389), Lan Yu was awarded the title of "Deputy General of the Left Expedition" for his merits, and accompanied the general Feng Sheng to the Yuan Dynasty Taiwei Naha. When the army marched to Tongzhou, Lan Yu learned that the Yuan army was stationed in Gyeongju, so he led a small number of light cavalry to attack the Yuan army by surprise, beheaded Yuan Ping Zhangguolai, and captured his son Bulanxi.
The Ming Dynasty army pursued the victory until Naha's old lair, Jinshan, where Nahachu attempted to fake surrender, but was spotted and captured alive by Lan Yu. In this conquest operation, it coincided with Feng Sheng's conviction, and Lan Yu became a general, in charge of the military.
In the twenty-first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Timur inherited the throne of the Yuan Dynasty and constantly harassed the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Lan Yu to lead 150,000 Ming troops to the north.
Timur, who lived far away in the fishing sea, believed that the Ming army would not attack because of its fatigue and lack of food, and because of the windy and sandy weather. However, Lan Yu skillfully led the army to take a shortcut and attack the fishing sea day and night, and the Yuan army was defeated.
The Taiwei barbarian was killed, and the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty fled north with the crown prince and dozens of retinues. Lan Yu commanded the army to chase closely, capturing more than 3,000 of the Yuan Emperor's second son, concubines, princesses, princes, and dignitaries below Pingzhang, capturing more than 70,000 Yuan Dynasty people, seizing a large number of treasure seals, talismans, gold medals, gold and silver seals, and destroying countless Yuan Dynasty ordnance.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and named Lanyu as the Duke of Liangguo. After that, Lan Yu put down the rebellions in Shi Nan, Jianzhong, Duyun, Shumao and other places, showing his bravery and wisdom.
Lan Yu's military prowess in the Blue Jade Cemetery was highly appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, but his growing arrogance and imperiousness worried Zhu Yuanzhang. He thought that Emperor Jianwen could not control such a strong general, so in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu (1393), Lan Yu was accused of rebellion, arrested and executed, and his family and thousands of ** were conspired.
In order to warn the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the publication of the "Records of Rebel Ministers" to be distributed nationwide, creating a rare "blue prison" case in history.
In order to protect the bloodline of the Lanyu family, Mu Chun, the Duke of Qianguo, risked the danger to hide Lanyu's pregnant concubine in the mansion. Lan Yu's widow, Lan Changjian, was secretly sent back to the "Shishou Wang's Tomb" in Fucheng by Mu Cong after the end of the "Blue Prison" case, so that the Fucheng Lan clan can continue to this day and reproduce.
Lan Yu Muying, the two of you, have been loyal all your life and have no sins. And the world said, Ye died unjustly, and your hearts have been harmed by the wicked. You died because you love your country and can't tolerate traitors, your blood is shed for the country, and you are real heroes.
Your loyalty, heaven and earth, your spirit is immortal. Although you have passed away, your name will always be remembered, and your heroic deeds will always be celebrated. ”
