Sheng Feng and Fu Youde were famous generals in the early Ming Dynasty. They were named Song Xianggong and Yinggong by Zhu Yuanzhang, and their exploits were second only to those of Chang Yuchun and Xu Da. They all have similar achievements and the same ending, all of which were killed by the emperor in view of death. Perhaps for this reason, Ming history put their biographies in the same volume, and Zhang Dai is also a stone book.
Sheng Feng and Fu Youde are different from Tang He, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and other generals, and they are not Zhu Yuanzhang's clique. Feng, whose real name is Feng, and his younger brother Feng are all good at reading, the art of war and martial arts. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos. They built a village to protect themselves and became fugitives. Zhu Yuanzhang put them under his command, and Feng became a pro-army. After feng was killed, he joined the army. Since then, Shengfeng followed Xu Da and Chang Yuchun in the war and made great achievements. Hongwu Xiahou _ Song Gong, the title of three years, the year of three thousand stones, gave iron coupons to avoid death.
The situation in Fu Youde and the United States is more complicated. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, I followed the thief Li Xixi into Shu. Li Xixi Xiahou _ lost, he defected to Ming, and could not be reused, so he took refuge in Chen Youliang. When Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Jiangzhou, he led his men to Zhu Yuanzhang. Loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang for so long, Hongwu was named the Hou of Yingchuan for three years. He followed General Tang He of General Zheng to Sichuan. He didn't flinch and led the soldiers to fight to the death. In the year of Pingxi Shu, Zhu Yuanzhang said that righteousness and virtue were the first of all generals. Later, Lan Yu, deputy general manager of the left, and Mu Yingping, deputy general manager of the right, decided to seal the British public in Yunnan and give iron coupons to avoid death.
In the twenty years of Hongwu, with General Lu as the title, he led Fu Youde, the deputy general, to the left and Lan Yuyou, the deputy general, and led 200,000 troops to encircle the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, winning a great victory. With the popularity of Feng, Fu and Lan, suspicion followed. We were told that Shengfeng extorted gold, silver and jewels from the wife of Nahachu, the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and forced her to marry Nahachu's daughter. Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage, deprived Shengfeng of his position as a general, and ordered him to live in Fengyang and not to go out to fight again. Since then, the only job is to train new recruits in Shanxi and Henan with Fu Youde.
Zhu Yuanzhang, an old general in his later years, became more and more suspicious of this hero. In February of the 26th year of Hongwu, the head of the Royal Guards' secret service framed Aquamarine for rebellion and was immediately executed, which implicated a large number of generals. Sheng Feng and Fu Youde's contribution and reputation are above aquamarine. Hou Bo, the hero of Wang Shizhen's Gaudi, said in the preface, however, this is a difficult family, but it almost doesn't exist. Taking Feng Songgong and Fu Yinggong as heroes, his death is inevitable. In other words, the case of Aquamarine Party shows that the contradiction between monarchy and general power is irreconcilable. Aquamarine's death, they are doomed.
Before he died, Han Xin lamented in the Han Dynasty: a sly rabbit dies, and a running dog cooks; High birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden; Destroy the enemy and the counselor dies. Later generations repeated it over and over again. There is a memorable saying: the emperor is immersed in the spring and autumn period, and there is nothing in the world. Wei and Cao used to be Sun's minions. They didn't. They didn't want their general to be a soldier for a long time, so they didn't. Don't contribute. Tang Hemin was keenly aware of this and calmly said to the emperor, I can't stand driving any more, so I want to go back to mine.
As for how to grant death, it is still unclear. Zhang told the story of Tanghe more clearly: Shengfeng's wife and his relatives reported that he had hidden weapons at home. Zhu Yuanzhang called Shengfeng, invited him to drink, and said, I don't want to ask. General, the weapons he collected at home are not enough to constitute a capital crime. In addition, the iron ticket for exemption from death clearly States: except for rebellion, you are exempt from death twice and your son is exempt from death once. Therefore, we can only invite him to drink poisonous wine in the form of no trace. This is the legend of Shengfeng in the Ming Dynasty: the superior shouted to win the wine and the wine died suddenly. People know about sudden death, but they dare not say it. Euphemistically called death.
Fu Youde, the Duke of Ying, expressed it in a slightly different way. Give death. In twenty-six years (1393), Wu Hong was recalled to be with Shengfeng, and was executed the following year. As for the granting of death, neither Tang nor Chuan could explain it clearly. Shi Kuishu added: Dingyuanbi and Fu Youde recalled the capital from the army at the same time, which coincided with the execution of Aquamarine. Fu Youde was frightened, and Wang Bi told him that he would try his best in the spring and autumn last year. What can he do? Zhu Yuanzhang learned about it through an insider and decided to give him the death penalty.
Neither Tong Ming's Brief Biography nor Shi Ming's Biography of Fu Youde recorded anything about "giving death". After reading Ming Tongjian, I finally understand that it is not poisoning with wine, but a more creepy way: aquamarine is used to punish you, and you are afraid of your advantages. Dingyuan Hou calls you to swim in Xian: Spring and Autumn are high, and you and I will never die. When Mao heard this, he gave a big winter banquet and was well-attended. Mao scolded your friend for disrespecting you and said. Call my second son! Youde went out and the guard said, bring him here first. "After a period of time, you have to let your second son take the lead. Mao was surprised and said, "Why do you tolerate others? Youde took the dagger out of his sleeve and said, I just want my father and son to listen to me. And then committed suicide. Zu was so angry that he moved to his hometown in Liaodong, Yunnan, and Wang Bi committed suicide.
Zhang Dai tends to think that Shengfeng has accumulated great military achievements in the long war, but he is always rebellious; Fu Youde and Chang Yuchun were called Tiger Generals, but singing and dancing told them not to die too right. This seems to be biased, which contradicts his later exclamation: a generation of ancient generals have created their achievements, and how many people can accomplish them!
