In the early days of his life, witnessing a divided country, Nguyen Hue, together with his two younger brothers, Nguyen Nhac and Nguyen Lu, raised the flag of rebellion, marking the glorious peasant movement of Tay Son. He quickly became the soul and pillar of this uprising, greatly contributing to ending the chaos and putting an end to the power struggle of feudal forces.
After defeating the Siamese army and stabilizing the situation in the South, he continued to advance northward, wiping out the Trinh forces and restoring power to the Le dynasty. Particularly in 1788, when the Qing army led by Emperor Qianlong with a formidable force attempted to invade Dai Viet, Nguyen Hue ascended to the throne, taking on a historic mission to protect the nation.
