During the reign of Dayong Jingzhi, the power of the feudal states was immense.
The only son of Lord Zhu Sheng of Changting, concealed his identity and assumed the name Zhu Yong. Rising from humble beginnings, he rallied the armies of the feudal states and marched southward. In just two years, he occupied four provinces. Those who have seen the Beixiang Army describe it as disciplined, possessing the momentum to devour mountains and rivers.
Currently, Yuzhou, one of the nine critical border towns, is largely under the control of the Beixiang Army.
The word 'Xiang' implies undressing and farming. As described in 'Explaining Written Characters', Xiang signifies the invigorated state of undressing to farm, embodying an upward and exuberant spirit. It can be metaphorically used to mean high, remove, assist, or succeed.
