Classic Novels of the Qing Dynasty: Three Heroes of the Qing Dynasty (3 Volumes in Total)

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 peasant uprisings raging and foreign invasions frightening the emperor. 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 takes the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established by the Jintian Uprising as the main line, exposing the hypocrisy, cunning, stubborn corruption and the ugly faces of the powerful officials, and outlines the artistic image of the representative figures of the feudal bureaucracy.
