In the Historic novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, by Luo Guanzhong, Zhu Jun, an officer under the Han Dynasty, campaigned with other famous people against the Yellow Turbans (scarves). He fought in many battles, and was a friend of Sun Jian's. He actually recommended Sun Jian to the imperial court. In 195, Zhu Jun fell ill and never recovered. Zhu Jun died of illness. He had one son, Zhu Fu.
It was during this era that Zhu Yuanzhang led a peasant revolution that was instrumental in expelling the Yuan Dynasty and forcing the Mongolians to retreat to the Mongolian steppes.
He used the motto 'Exiling the Mongols and Restoring Hua' as a call to rouse the Han Chinese into supporting him, and after capturing Dadu, China was unified again under Ming.
