Under the talented leadership of General Le Loi, the Lam Son uprising grew stronger and stronger, becoming an elite army with organization, discipline, and close ties with the people. After 10 years of arduous fighting, "tasting honey and lying on thorns", the Lam Son uprising was completely victorious, and the country was reunited.
On April 15, Mau Than year (1428), Binh Dinh King Le Loi ascended the throne as Emperor, took the reign name Thuan Thien, named the country Dai Viet, and established the Later Le dynasty.
