Ming History is one of the twenty-four histories, and its revision was put forward by Zhao Zaiqing Shunzhi in the second year. The emperor shunzhi was allowed to open a history museum, and it took four years to complete the manuscript, which lasted 94 years. This is the longest history book in China. For various reasons, it took such a long time in the compilation of Ming history that many scholars died. Those dead literati were convicted because the compilation of Ming history did not follow the requirements of the government. Therefore, there are many sayings in the existing Ming history, and his description of the members of the royal family in the former Ming dynasty is biased.
The Biography of Mu Ying in Ming Dynasty is one of the few relatively complete biographies of the Ming royal family in Ming history. The first paragraph of the Biography of Mu Shiying is a brief introduction to Mu Shiying, briefly introducing his birth, growth and career as an official.
The following paragraphs introduce Mu Ying's life experience in detail. Mu Ying/Kloc-was promoted to captain at the age of 0/8 and began to hold real power. Later, he repeatedly made meritorious military service under Zhu Yuanzhang. After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, Mu Ying helped Zhu Yuanzhang pacify the quartet, and later pacify the Yunnan rebellion and managed Mu Ying in Yunnan. He managed the whole Yunnan well with his own talents and was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, Mu Ying died of illness in Yunnan.
The last paragraph is an evaluation of Mu Ying, full of praise. The evaluation of Mu Ying in The Biography of Mu Ying is mainly pure, diligent and elegant. This sentence mainly says that Mu Ying is loyal and pure, diligent and self-disciplined, knowledgeable and personable. As the son of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he rarely got such an evaluation in the History of the Ming Dynasty compiled by the Qing Dynasty, which shows that this man is a man of real talent and practical learning.
After the death of Mu Ying's tomb, the people in Yunnan were very sad, even the barbarians who were not slaves of Daming were very sad. After hearing the news of Mu Ying's death, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that Mu Ying's body be transported back to the Imperial Capital and buried in Guanyin Mountain, 20 miles away from Zhonghua Gate. Therefore, Guanyin Mountain was renamed General Mountain.
Mu Ying tomb
Mu Ying's tomb has been stolen many times and has not been preserved completely. In recent years, the country began to restore the tomb of Mu Ying, so the tomb of Mu Ying that we see now is not what it used to be. Most of the funerary objects in the tomb are kept in Nanjing Museum, and a plum vase in Mu Ying's tomb is one of the three treasures in the town courtyard of the museum.
The grave robber who stole Mu Ying's tomb was named Kang Yonghai. At that time, he was the boss of the whole Jiangning grave robbery group, and later he was arrested and shot for grave robbery. According to Kang Yonghai, Mu Ying's tomb was excavated in 1949. At that time, when they were digging Mu Ying's tomb, they not only took away all the gold and silver treasures in the tomb, but also pried open Mu Ying's coffin and took away everything that could be taken from Mu Ying's body.
Kang Yonghai was arrested entirely because of a plum vase, which was a relatively advanced funerary object in ancient times. In addition to the royal captaincy, others are not qualified to use it. After the pirates of Kangyong went to Mu Ying's tomb, they began to sell stolen goods at low prices, including this plum bottle. Coincidentally, this plum bottle was bought by a collector at a high price. After identification, this person found that the plum vase was the plum vase buried with Mu Ying, so he reported the matter to * * *, and the mayor of Nanjing at that time was Liu Bocheng. He ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, severely punished grave robbers, and thoroughly eliminated the wind of grave robbery around Nanjing. Finally, the public security organs traced the plum bottle to Kang Yonghai, and then arrested it. After the trial, Kang Yonghai was sentenced to death. After Kang Yonghai's death, the wind of grave robbery around Nanjing was also curbed.
Later, the state organized an excavation of Mu Ying's tomb, which was seriously damaged and lost its archaeological value. The archaeological team also excavated four tombs of Mu Ying's descendants and obtained many cultural relics with research value.
