The Tay Son peasant uprising movement in the second half of the 18th century was associated with the careers of the three Tay Son brothers: Nguyen Nhac, Nguyen Hue and Nguyen Lu.
A typical example is Emperor Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue , a wise and brave leader who turned the Tay Son movement from a peasant uprising into a national liberation movement.
From a talented general who fought and won every battle, Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue became a national hero, a military genius, overthrowing feudal forces; erasing the Gianh River border that had divided the country for over 200 years; wiping out 50,000 Siamese troops with the resounding victory of Rach Gam - Xoai Mut.
The peak was the historic Ngoc Hoi - Dong Da victory in the year of Ky Dau 1789, defeating 290,000 invading Manchu troops, firmly protecting national independence.
Emperor Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue was not only a military genius but also an outstanding politician with many policies of recruiting talented people, treating them well, winning people's hearts, and establishing friendly relations with neighboring countries in the process of building the country.
The hero "in cloth and red flag" who fought in the South and pacified the North passed away on July 29, 1792, leaving behind many unfinished ambitions and dreams. Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue's life only had 39 springs, but he devoted all his soul, intelligence, talent, and determination to the struggle for national independence.
With his shining justice, talent and noble virtue, Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue has decorated the history of the nation with a brilliant golden page. The Tay Son peasant movement under the leadership of the military genius Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue is the heroic song of our nation.
