"Zheng Chenggong asked the Dutch to keep the wealth they had plundered in Taiwan, the country's territory, and then pack up and get out. After that, the Ming and Zheng regime began an era of rule over Taiwan."

Cheng Yaojin: OK! good! good!

Cao Cao: I admire you, this general is awesome!

Xu Da: This is to regain our land! How can I not be admired? What a great big brother! What a resounding man!

Wu Qi: Brother, you are the one who deserves to enjoy the Ancestral Temple. Just talk about this achievement. Let alone the generals, how many emperors can do it!

Zhang Fei: Brother, although I can’t see you, I’ll put this light curtain aside and give you a bowl!

Zheng Chenggong: Haha! Brothers appreciate it! I also raised a bowl, thank you brothers!

"After Zheng Chenggong came to Taiwan, he started a new regime."

"He established six ministries in Taiwan, customized laws, and built new schools to spread Confucian culture."

"Moving homeless refugees at sea to Taiwan, giving these refugees cattle and grain seeds to encourage them to cultivate their own land."

"As for the aboriginal people with backward production technology, he sent people to teach them how to farm and work."

"Zheng Chenggong also ordered his officers and soldiers to respect the living habits of all ethnic groups and strictly prohibited his subordinates from intruding on Taiwan's ethnic minorities."

"Under his management and development, Taiwan is prospering everywhere, and it can be said that the city is peaceful and the people are safe."

"I thought that this kind of life could continue and develop continuously, but the subsequent blows brought this hero to death step by step."

"It turns out that my father, Zheng Zhilong, had already betrayed and surrendered when the Qing Dynasty conquered the Ming Dynasty government."

"But the Qing government did not kill him, but put him under house arrest in BJ to blackmail and persuade Zheng Chenggong to surrender."

"Because many years later, Zheng Zhilong failed to persuade his son to surrender, and Zheng Chenggong successfully recovered Taiwan and prepared it as a base to resist the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Kangxi no longer had any patience and ordered the execution of 11 members of his family, including Zheng Zhilong."

"The reason for this is actually your own fault - General Zheng."

"Although Zheng Chenggong came from a wealthy family, his journey to turn over was also very difficult."

"He took over the Zheng family's banner and started his business when his father surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and the family's children established themselves on their own."

“Although compared with the self-made rich, it’s still a little easier.”

"But Zheng Chenggong's ability to bring the family business to that scale has exceeded many people's imagination."

"After all, Zheng Zhilong left behind a mess. Zheng Chenggong, who is in his early 20s, had only one year of military experience. His success really depends on his own energy."

"Therefore, Zheng Chenggong also figured out his own strategy for running the army during his many years of military career. To put it simply, it can be summed up in one word: strict!"

"In addition, Zheng Chenggong is actually very suspicious."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Entrepreneurs all have this problem."

"For example, Cao Cao, Zhu Yuanzhang and others were very suspicious."

"This also caused some mistakes in later military management."

"After Zheng Chenggong established a foothold in Baodao, he immediately asked his men to bring his family members."

"After driving away the Dutch, Zheng Chenggong got along very harmoniously with the local Gaoshan people."

"Because the army is very strict, no soldier of the Zheng Group dared to bully the local people. This also won the local people's cheers."

"Zheng Chenggong is very proud and feels that it would be perfect to build this place into his own base."

"As for whether he still has the idea of ​​restoring the Ming Dynasty, I think this idea has gradually faded away at this time."    "After all, with his own strength and the power of an island, it is difficult to compete with the behemoth Qing Dynasty. .”

"Instead of confronting each other head-on, it's better to be submissive. Maybe we can ensure the long-term development of the Zheng Group."

"In order to achieve this goal, Zheng Chenggong issued an order: let all soldiers bring their families to Treasure Island."

"This in itself is a good thing. The reunion of officers and soldiers with their families will also help them serve the Zheng Group."

"With family members by our side, everyone doesn't feel so hard anymore."

"But the problem is that Zheng Chenggong was a little too hasty. This matter can be taken slowly. After all, they still firmly control parts of the coastal areas of Fujian. It is obviously a matter of course."

"However, Zheng Chenggong issued a death order, which caused everyone to have a certain degree of resistance."

"The people around them must be the first to resist. The soldiers who stayed on Treasure Island found that many people around them were not accustomed to the local environment and fell ill in large numbers."

"This can be said to be common sense. The environment is different. You may not be accustomed to living in another place. At least let these people cope with it. Let's get used to it. What should I do if there are no old people and children in my family and they can't cope with it?"

"But Zheng Chenggong still forced them to bring their family members and let them colonize the area. To be honest, these soldiers must have complaints in their hearts."

"Then there are the soldiers guarding Xiamen, Kinmen, Nan'ao and other places. They are reunited, but they have to be separated from their families."

"For Zheng Chenggong to act like this, he most likely treats these family members as hostages."

"So, these soldiers are even more unhappy."

"There are also some soldiers who are determined to restore the Ming Dynasty."

"These people are mainly mid-level and senior generals and a large number of civil servants. They feel that Zheng Chenggong's move means that he has completely given up on confronting the Qing Dynasty, and the great cause of restoring the Ming Dynasty will be far away."

"Once there are complaints in the army, things will be easier to handle."

"Therefore, there was a rebellion in Nan'ao first, and then some soldiers surrendered to the Qing army one after another. This was inevitable."

"So, Zheng Chenggong's recovery of the treasure island is indeed worthy of celebration, but the loss of the coastal areas of Fujian is inevitable."

"Zheng Chenggong's father, brothers, and Emperor Yongli were all executed by the Qing court because of Zheng Chenggong's pride."

"When Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing court, he took several of his sons with him. A total of 11 members of his family were in the hands of the Qing court."

"When Hong Chengchou promised Zheng Zhilong to be the king of the three provinces, it was because Zheng Zhilong had more than 3000 warships and held the military power of one province in Fujian."

"As a result, when Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing court, he brought nothing with him. The Qing court felt that it had been tricked, so it brought Zheng Zhilong to the capital and temporarily took care of him."

"After Zheng Chenggong became bigger and stronger, the Qing court suddenly discovered that Zheng Zhilong seemed to be useful again."

"So, Zheng Zhilong kept asking Zheng Chenggong to write letters to Zheng Chenggong, asking Zheng Chenggong to surrender to the Qing court."

"Zheng Chenggong became arrogant again after receiving the letter. He felt that if he surrendered, Zheng Zhilong would not be safe. As long as he continues to grow bigger and stronger, the less he surrenders, the greater Zheng Zhilong's value will be, and the safer he will be."
