The Hereditary Romance of the Pingyue Guards in the Ming Dynasty

In the middle of the Ming and Ming Dynasties, the guards collapsed, military households were in poverty, and the war on the border continued. The Xi family has been guarding the border for generations, and has the hereditary position of commanding Tongzhi. The legitimate son Xi Chengye inherited the ancestral duties and took charge of the military affairs of the First Guard. He maintained internal military discipline, revitalized farming, appeased military households, defended against powerful enemies externally, quelled chaos, and stabilized border defenses. In the midst of strife in the officialdom, strife among the aristocratic families, and the long-standing malpractices of the guard, he used his iron blood and strategy to prop up the general's glory, and wrote a passionate story about the hereditary generals of the Ming Guard.
