He is a typical example of self-reliance and self-made entrepreneurship, who was born in poverty but was able to succeed with his own efforts and intelligence, transforming from a simple and kind village child into the founder of a generation of dynasties. He is unique in the military field, and with the help of strategy and wisdom in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", as well as 13 sets of armor, he dares to conquer the world.

This legendary figure was Nurhachi, the Qing Emperor who laid the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and he was born in 1559 in Hetuala, the left guard of Jianzhou, a remote region of China. He lost his mother in his early years, and his family was poor, relying mainly on picking wild fruits and ginseng for his livelihood. However, his talent was fully revealed, especially in the war, and he joined the Liaodong General Military Office as Li Chengliang's personal retinue.

Nurhachi always followed Li Chengliang to the battlefield, bearing the brunt of every battle, and repeatedly made outstanding achievements. In his spare time, he loves to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which makes Li Chengliang even more important to him.

In 1583, when his grandfather and father were framed and died by Nikanwailan, the young Nurhachi felt deeply hated by the country and his family, so he used the 13 pairs of armor left by his grandfather and dozens of followers to lead the Jianzhou cavalry to carry out revenge operations, and quickly conquered the five parts of Jianzhou in just five years.

The prosperity and growth of the Jianzhou Jurchen caused others.

Horde panic and hostility. Just after the various tribes of the Changbai Mountains were brought under their control, the three tribes of the Haixi Jurchen Yehe and Hadaula Volatilization, as well as the nine allied forces of Horqin, Mongolian Xibegualcha, and Zhusherine, jointly fought and sent a total of three armies in a vain attempt to destroy the increasingly powerful Jianzhou Jurchens as much as possible. Faced with an enemy force that outnumbered him, Nurhachi devised a detailed and meticulous strategic plan that led to a crucial battle victory at Gule Mountain. Nurhachi's prestige in this battle rose sharply, and the military power was terrifying.

On this basis, he returned to the capital to pay tribute to the Wanli Emperor, who canonized him as the Dragon and Tiger General and gave him a dragon and tiger sword symbolizing the status of the emperor. After returning to Jianzhou, Nurhachi ordered the people to use the fusion of Mongolian script and Jurchen phonetics to create a new Manchu system, and also created the yellow, white, red, and black four flag system with dual military and political functions. Later, he moved to Hetuara and established his capital.

By 1615, Nurhachi's army had initially formed a scale, so he changed the four flags to yellow, white, red, and blue four-color flags, and at the same time set up four new flags (yellow, white, red, and blue), so that the colorful eight-banner system was formally established, and the eight-banner banner owner discussed political affairs gradually improved. Unfortunately, Li Chengliang died soon after, and Nurhachi's reward was interrupted.
