Ming campaign against the Uriyangkhad horde edit
Late 1386, the Hongwu Emperor ordered them destroyed.[1] He ordered General Feng Sheng and Prince Zhu Di (Prince of Yan) to prepare a punitive campaign against the Uriyangkhad horde.[2]
In October 1387, Naghachu surrendered to General Lan Yu through the diplomacy of Nayira'u.[3]
Chang Mao (Feng Sheng's son-in-law) had earlier stabbed Naghachu in the shoulder during the formal surrender at Lan Yu's tent.[2] Feng Sheng appropriated the rarest horses, tricked Naghachu's wife into handing over priceless jewelry and treasures, and coerced a Mongol princess to be his bride.[2] Chang Mao would slandered Feng Sheng to the Hongwu Emperor, accusing him of taking the best horses and of mishandling the army during the situation that led to P'u Ying's death.[1] On 8 September 1387, Feng Sheng was relieved from his military command.[1] In late 1387, Chang Mao would be stripped from his titles and exiled for his misconduct during the military campaign.[4]
In October 1387, the Hongwu Emperor received reports of General Feng Sheng's misconducts.[3] This may have been the reason that Feng Sheng was stripped from his military authority, but it may also have been due to his increasing military influence that was viewed as a threat.[3] The Hongwu Emperor may also have been suspicious about a dangerous military alliance between General Feng Sheng and Prince Zhu Su (Prince of Zhou), whose wife was one of Feng's daughters.[3] In November 1388, the Hongwu Emperor ordered Feng Sheng to take residence at Feng-yang in Nanjing.[3] Feng was removed from his military command and deprived from his estate in Henan.[3] This effectively removed him from close contact with Prince Zhu Su, who was based in Kaifeng, Henan.[3]
Battle of Buyur Lake edit
General Lan Yu was recalled and returned to Nanjing on 25 September 1388.[5] On 26 September, he presented himself before the Ming imperial court.[5] The Hongwu Emperor praised him for his military successes, but was displeased about the reports that he took Yuan princesses and palace ladies as his concubines.[5]
