Three Dynasties Competition: Records of Jin Xia Huanyu

At the end of the Dajiang Xia Dynasty, harsh government was like a knife, natural disasters continued, the red land was thousands of miles away, the people were displaced, the officials forced the people to rebel, and there was no pure land in the troubled times. Zhu Yuanzhang of Haozhou, whose whole family was devastated during the famine years, started out as a beggar monk and was forced to raise an army. He rose up in armor at the age of twenty-five, just to find a way for the people at the bottom to survive; Li Shimin of Hedong saw the decay of the court and the ruin of his family and country, but the young man saved the world. His aspirations were shattered, and at the age of seventeen he gave up all his family wealth to pursue righteousness, vowing to recreate a peaceful and prosperous age; Liu Bang of Peixian County, who was nearly fifty years old, just wanted to live a stable life, but was sentenced to death for overdue corvee service, and was driven to a dead end by cruel law. At the age of forty-eight, he killed the snake and rebelled against Xia. The heroes of the Han, Tang, and Ming dynasties rose at the same time. They knew each other's existence from the beginning, checked and balanced each other, and competed vertically and horizontally. Their power swept the Central Plains and expanded to the world. None of the three had ambitions to become emperor. They were all trapped by the troubled times and could not help themselves. Each of them encountered a fatal enemy: Zhu Yuanzhang fought against the hero Chen Youliang, Li Shimin faced his brother Li Jiancheng, and Liu Bang faced off against the overlord Xiang Yu. The first generation established the Central Plains and destroyed Jiang Xia; the second generation defended the territory and expanded the territory, carved up the four seas and opened up the global territory; the three generations of heroes faced each other to conquer the world and the ultimate global competition. Zhu Xiongying, Li Longji, and Liu Che inherited the destiny of the country for three generations, relying on wisdom, popular support, and foundation to determine victory or defeat, crushing without brains, and defeating without humiliation. The whole book describes the passion of armored battles and cross-oceanic expeditions, the destiny of the people who are displaced, the loneliness of the princes, and the unrequited ambitions. It depicts the magnificent and regretful ending of the war between the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the eternal character. In the end, the Ming Dynasty ended a century of chaos and unified the world.
