description: "Lan Yu was a Chinese military leader and one of the most influential generals of the Hongwu Emperor, the founder and first emperor of the Ming dynasty. His exceptional military skills and the support of his relative, Chang Yuchun, earned him a high-ranking position in the Ming army. Throughout the 1380s, he rose to prominence as one of the empire's top military leaders. In 1393, he was accused of conspiracy and attempted coup, leading to his downfall and execution. His family and a large number of his relatives and subordinates were also executed, resulting in the deaths of thousands of people during the purge."
