At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, wars broke out, the Yellow River burst its banks, the harsh government was fiercer than the tiger, the people at the bottom were displaced in the famine and war, and the spark of the Red Turban uprising gradually turned into a prairie fire. Zhu Yuanzhang, who had suffered the pain of family destruction and death, raised a rebel army in Hezhou. Xu Da's courage, Tang He's stability, and Lin Yue's wisdom became his most solid arms.
The story begins in a grain store in Hezhou, but it hides the original intention of stabilizing the country. From setting the goal of "taking Jiqing and establishing a family business" to splitting their troops to outwit Yingtian, the four brothers used swords to split the way out, and even used sweet potatoes and grain stores to build a solid foundation - Xu Da wielded a knife to defend the soil at the top of the city, Tang He stored grain in the warehouse to prepare for shortages, Lin Yue taught skills and seeds in the fields, and Zhu Yuanzhang painted mountains and rivers in the government office. When Zhang Shicheng's secret sentry was spying on the grain fields, they fought back the enemy with wisdom; when Guo Zixing was trapped in Haozhou, they used clever strategies to rescue the siege and finally formed an anti-Yuan alliance.
There is no "golden finger" that comes out of thin air, only the struggle and pursuit that fits the times. From the grain stalls in the alleys to the high walls of the city, from the unity of brothers to the alliance of heroes, the book contains not only the passion of fighting on the battlefield, but also the warmth of farming and persuading people to die. In the troubled times, a group of people use the simple wish of "feeding the people" as a light to forge a peaceful road in the sorrow of death. This is not a simple history of the emperor's fortune, but a magnificent scroll of ideals and brotherhood, people's livelihood and righteousness intertwined in the war years.
