Three Heroes of the Qing Dynasty: Secrets About Historical Figures That Are Better Than Novels
by Xu Zheshen
About This Novel
This book is a classic masterpiece by late Qing novelist Xu Zheshen. The work is based on the anecdotal and secret history of Zeng Zuo and Peng San of the Qing Dynasty, and the cycle of Dao, Xian, Tongguang, and the four dynasties to narrate a period of history in the late Qing Dynasty. The late Qing Dynasty was a troubled time, with raging peasant uprisings and foreign invasions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which shocked the emperor. This exposed the hypocrisy, cunning, stubbornness and corruption of the powerful officials, and outlined the artistic image of the representative figures of the feudal bureaucracy. The structure of the book is rigorous and dense; the events and characters written are terrifying. In the face of internal and external troubles, the three heroes Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Peng Yulin, as loyal defenders of the Qing feudal dynasty, stepped forward to stabilize the country and fight against the outside world. They were the so-called "Three Heroes in Troubled Times". The work is based on the Jintian Uprising, the scene is as real as ever and the image is alive. The writing is simple and interesting, with endless aftertaste, making it hard to put down after reading it.
