SOME ISSUES CONCERNING THE LAM SƠN UPRISING AND THE TWO REIGNS OF LÊ THÁI TỔ AND LÊ THÁI TÔNG

Abstract

The leader Le Loi who led the victory of Lam Son uprising and enlightened the Le dynasty in the history of the feudal system of Dai Viet in the fifteenth century was a Muong ethnic person. The majority of the lieutenants under his command and his administration at first were Muongs in the Thanh Hoa province. The banner of righteousness and creativity in the art of warfare under the command of Binh Dinh king had been able to gather a large number of people that became the main forces for the success of the uprising. Despite the skepticism of the elite and the mountainous adversaries, the soft and persuasive measures of Le Loi and his successor had put their imperial to a stable position and created conditions for the dynasty to reach its peak.
