Xiaoling Guards: The Ming Dynasty's Supernatural Corps

Over the 276-year history of the Ming dynasty, many famous military forces emerged.

There were the Embroidered Uniform Guard, responsible for the emperor's ceremonial escort and the surveillance of officials, and known to all.

There were the Three Guards of Duoyan, who struck fear beyond the frontier and defended the northwest.

But the unit we're talking about today is rarely mentioned in the history of the Ming dynasty.

Back when the Ming dynasty's founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Chen Youliang fought at Lake Poyang, Chen Youliang was on the verge of crushing the Ming army.

Then an arrow pierced the clouds and struck Chen Youliang in the left eye. His wound became infected, and he died, leaving the Han army defeated.

After this battle, Zhu Yuanzhang had no more formidable rivals and ultimately founded the Great Ming dynasty.

Where did the arrow come from? It remains an unsolved mystery.

During the Jingnan Campaign, how did the Jianwen Emperor, Zhu Yunwen, escape the capital while surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops?

After Nanjing fell, why did Zhu Di insist on moving the capital to Yanjing, despite the objections of others?

Why did the black-robed sorcerer-monk Yao Guangxiao die such a gruesome death years later, crying out at the last moment that he had suffered Heaven's punishment?

All of this is connected to that mysterious unit.
