Mu Ying's family is full of loyalties. Starting from Mu Ying and following the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years, there has never been any separation.

During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Sheng was defeated in an attack on Gaoligong Mountain and died in Chuxiong.

The imperial court gave a posthumous gift to King Dingyuan, and his youngest son Mu Bin assumed the title and settled in the capital, while his younger brother Mu Ang took charge of Yunnan.

After Mu Ang's death, he was granted the title of Dingbian Bo and was succeeded by his nephew Mu Bin.

Starting from Mu Ang, although the titles of the Mu family gradually decreased, the imperial court still relied heavily on the generals of the Mu family to quell the frequent wars on the border.

It can be said that with the Mu family guarding the border, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty felt particularly at ease sitting on the throne of the Golden Palace in Beijing.

After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Nanming regime established by the royal family surnamed Zhu was still surviving in the south. As a prince in Yunnan, Mu Tianbo chose to follow the last emperor of the Nanming Dynasty, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang, and began his life in exile.

Mu Tianbo is the eleventh grandson of Mu Ying. In the first year of Chongzhen, his father Mu Qiyuan died suddenly. Mu Tianbo, who was only ten years old, inherited the title and served as the general of the Southern Conquest.

In the 18th year of Shunzhi, the Qing army invaded Yunnan, and the chieftain Kaiyuan of Yunnan took the opportunity to rebel. Mu Tianbo was forced to flee, and the Mu family was almost wiped out.

Zhu Youlang fled to Myanmar with the assistance of Mu Tianbo and others.

The king of Myanmar, Mangtala, took them in, and Mangbai killed Mangtala and established himself. The new king, Mangbai, had long thought of abandoning these Ming Dynasty old and young people, and even wanted to disguise them on the surface.

In July of that year, King Mangbai of Myanmar asked someone to send a message, agreeing that Emperor Yongli would cross the river, and the two of them would drink the cursed water and swear an oath to become friends forever.

Emperor Yongli was also suspicious, but he was under the protection of others and had to obey their arrangements. Emperor Yongli, military general Mu Tianbo, academician Ma Jixiang and other civil and military officials hurriedly went there, but were unexpectedly surrounded by three thousand Burmese troops.

At the critical moment, Mu Tianbo grabbed the knife and resisted.

Unfortunately, they were outnumbered, and all 42 Nanming officials were killed. The Burmese army then rushed to the residence of Emperor Yongli and killed all 300 of his followers. This incident is known as the "Curse Water Disaster" in history.
