Since ancient times, the famous founding generals who accompanied the emperor to conquer the world rarely died a happy death. The most cruel emperor among them was Zhu Yuanzhang . Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in mud-legged , showed no mercy to his subordinates whom he had known for many years, and almost dealt with them one by one. Among them is the famous founding general Sapphire . Some people look back on history and can't help but sigh, If Zhu Yuanzhang had not killed Lan Yu, how could Zhu Di have dared to rebel? Who is Sapphire? Why is it so highly rated?

This famous general with a high reputation was originally a subordinate of Chang Yuchun . Because of his intelligence and strategy, he was deeply appreciated by Chang Yuchun. Not only is Lan Yu talented, she is also related to Chang Yuchun and is his wife's younger brother. Sometimes opportunities are far more important than ability. Without Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu's talent may not be able to be displayed quickly.

Sapphire

He participated in many wars, during which he showed amazing abilities. Especially in 1388 AD, Lan Yu led his troops to attack the remaining Yuan army and directly captured the clan ministers and troops of the Yuan Dynasty . Although the Yuan Lord, the prince and others escaped by chance, the battle was of great significance. After learning that the clan ministers were captured, Zhu Yuan Zhang was overjoyed and immediately named Lan Yu the Duke of Liang. For a time, Lan Yu was indistinguishable in the court.

But as time went by, the heroes who once accompanied the founding emperor to conquer the world gradually became a thorn in his side. Husband and wife can only share hardships but not joys, let alone subordinates who hold military power and are too famous. There was so much recognition in the past, but now there is so much fear. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the heroes around him and began to take action, step by step to eliminate the threats in his eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang loved his sons very much, especially his prince Zhu Biao. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to leave the famous general Lan Yu to Prince Zhu Biao. Chang Yuchun, who was related to Lan Yu, became the father-in-law of Prince Zhu Biao. In this way, Lan Yu becomes Zhu Biao's uncle, and there is no need to worry about Lan Yu's betrayal.

Originally Lan Yu was the team left by Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Biao. He was worried that Zhu Biao's character was too kind and could not suppress some ministers, so he tried his best to plan for his son. During this period, Lan Yu repeatedly made military exploits and became famous. His presence makes the territory more stable and peaceful. It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and things are unpredictable. In the 225th year of Hongwu , Zhu Biao suddenly passed away. Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply saddened by the loss of the prince. He quickly reacted and thought of Lan Yu, who had great military exploits.

Now that the prince Zhu Biao is dead and the emperor's grandson is too young, Lan Yu has become a big threat again. What if after his death, Lan Yu "hijacks the emperor to order the princes", or plots to conquer the world under his control? Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to strike first. In the second year after Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang began to frame Lan Yu and deal with the hero on charges of rebellion. He used Lan Yu's incident to deal with nearly 15,000 people. Just killing so many people was not enough, Zhu Yuanzhang stripped Lan Yu's skin and stuffed it with grass, ransacked their homes and wiped out three clans. Unsatisfied after killing many people, he specially sent the skins filled with straw to various places for display.

But what Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect was that it was the execution of Lan Yu's generals that allowed Zhu Di to successfully rebel and launch the Jingkang Rebellion . And what about sapphire? It was early noticed that Zhu Di had different intentions. It is recorded in the history books that Lan Yu once reminded the kind-hearted Zhu Biao and discussed with him how to restrain Zhu Di. It's a pity that fate is unpredictable. Lan Yu, who was once selected as the prince's team, failed to continue to support the prince in the end. In the end, he died because of his military exploits and ended up in such a miserable end.

Soldier

Zhu Di has ambitions and strategies, how could he be willing to be the king of the vassal? Perhaps if there was Sapphire, Zhu Di might not have succeeded in his rebellion, but it was a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang had wiped out a group of capable generals.In the history books, Zhou Yafu led the army to put down the rebellion within three months and made many contributions to the country. However, his character was too straight and he was eventually alienated because he dissuaded the emperor from deposing the crown prince. His child was implicated in Gao Fa's reselling of organs and was imprisoned. , a generation of heroes eventually went on hunger strike and vomited blood and died.

There are countless heroes and generals who have devoted themselves to their country and contributed a lot. However, because of the emperor's fear, they were accused of many unfounded crimes and ended up in such a miserable end. It is really a pity.
