Thirteen relics rose up and embarked on a majestic journey to rewrite the history of East Asia.
In the vast wind and snow of white mountains and black waters, how can a down-and-out tribal youth fight his way through the cracks with only thirteen pairs of armor? This book reproduces the magnificent life of Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing Dynasty, with a literary touch.
From the unification of the Jurchens to the aspiration for Liaodong, from the "Seven Hatreds" swearing to conquer the Ming Dynasty to the shocking reversal in the Battle of Saarhu, he was not only a god of war on horseback, but also a politician who was well versed in maneuvering. The book not only details the grand war scenes that determined the direction of history, but also deeply explores Nurhaci's loneliness and struggle behind the peak of power - killing his brother, imprisoning his son, and complicated marriages...
The author clears away hundreds of years of historical fog and uses vivid and concise language to restore a flesh-and-blood Nurhaci. He is no longer a cold symbol in the history books, but a hero who fights between love, hatred and ambition for his family and country.
This is a heroic epic about iron and blood, and it is also a journey to explore the origin of the power of the Qing Empire.
