Jinyiwei is a spy agency established by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang in the fifteenth year of Hongwu. There is no written record about the first commander of Jin Yiwei in history, but in general, it is most likely Mao Xiang.
"Ming History" records: "Zixiang (i.e. Mao Xiang), managed a thousand households in the army, accumulated meritorious service and commanded the military affairs, from Dingzhongyuan, entered the command envoy, Tengzhou Duan Shixiong turned against him, and Xiang sought peace. A lot of gains have been made, the governor supervises the affairs, sees his personal appointments, tastes the hands of brocade clothes and guards, and imprisonment." Z1z
Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose in setting up Jinyiwei is to monitor the officials and strengthen the centralization of power. Mao Xiang can be said to have a deep understanding of this intention. The Hu Weiyong case, which had been closed in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, has revived, and its nature has also changed from the previous "trespassing power and betraying the law" to the most heinous "attempting rebellion". During the years, the heroes involved in the Hu Weiyong case included one duke, twenty marquis, and tens of thousands of others who were even seated and executed. There were almost no Chinese ministers, including Li Shanchang, the leader of the early Ming Dynasty. , And in this whole incident, the commander of Jin Yiwei made Mao Xiang a lot of effort. This was also the thing he did most to Zhu Yuanzhang.
As Zhu Yuanzhang’s knife in the palm of his hand, Mao Xiang is undoubtedly very qualified, but he forgot an ancient motto: "Cunning rabbits die, runaway dogs cook, birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden." Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong's heroes are "running dogs". Too. After killing so many people, Zhu Yuanzhang pushed Mao Xiang out in order to calm the anger, and the first-generation Jinyiwei commander ended his mission.
