The Yongli regime, with the support of Qu Shiyun, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and other forces, as well as the forces of Zheng Chenggong in Fujian, launched a counteroffensive. At the same time, the original Ming army that surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in various places took the lead anyway, and Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi, Li Chengdong in Guangdong, Geng Xianzhong and Yang Youguang in Guangxi led the troops anyway, and for a while the Southern Ming subdued the provinces in South China.

However, in the same year, the Qing general Shang Kexi led his army to invade again, occupying Hunan, Guangdong and other places successively. Two years later, Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and Zheng Chenggong launched a second counteroffensive, in which Zheng Chenggong once besieged Nanjing, but in the end, due to Sun Kewang's internal rebellion and the anti-Qing forces, the rebellion between them and the discord between them eventually led to a gradual defeat.

The Qing army invaded Yunnan in three ways, and Emperor Yongli went into exile in Mandalay, the capital of Burma, and was taken in by the Burmese king Mangda. Later, Wu Sangui invaded Burma, Mangda's brother Mangbai took the opportunity to launch a coup d'état, killed his brother and launched a curse water difficulty, killed Zhu Youlang's attendant guards, Zhu Youlang was finally killed by Wu Sangui, and Nanming perished.

Zheng Chenggong's mother was a Japanese Tagawa, and she had two sons, who died in the southern invasion of Qing soldiers in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Zheng Chenggong's mother, Tian Chuan Song, Tian Chuan's father Weng Yihuang was a native of Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, he went to Japan to do business and settled, married a Japanese wife and gave birth to Tian Chuan.

Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, was a seaside fishing village in Shijing, where villagers had been engaged in fishing and maritime activities for generations. Zheng Zhilong studied maritime affairs at a young age, and at the age of 18 he went to Xiangshan, Guangdong Province to join his maternal uncle Huang Cheng, and later sailed to Japan with the maritime merchant Li Dan. Because Zheng Zhilong came to Japan empty-handed, this down-and-out Zheng Zhilong, who was in a foreign country, was in poverty, but he was lucky to meet the Tagawa clan for a turning point.

Tagawa is a helpful and discerning Japanese woman, she sees that the poor Zheng Zhilong is a promising young man, and finally agrees with him, and Tagawa and Zheng Zhilong are married. Among the families of Sino-Japanese marriages, none of them can have as much influence as the union of Zheng Zhilong and Tagawa.

After marriage, Tagawa loved her husband, and her father treated Zheng Zhilong as his own son, which ended Zheng Zhilong's down-and-out career and became the starting point of his career. After his marriage, Zheng Zhilong moved from Nagasaki to Hirado and purchased two houses, one for his wife and children to live in, and the other for Mazu.

The following year, the Tagawa clan gave birth to a boy next to the large stone on the shore of the Rinsato of Ura, Kawachi, Hirado, and named Fumatsu, who was later the famous Zheng Chenggong, and the big stone was called the Child's Birth Stone. From the day Zheng Chenggong was born on the full moon, Zheng Zhilong, Yan Siqi and others left Japan and went to Taiwan.

During this period, Zheng Chenggong was raised by his mother, and he was taught from an early age to be filial to his parents, respect for the elderly, and to treat others with kindness, and developed a good moral character. She is both a good mother and a mentor, in order to successfully train her son to be a person who can write and martial arts, let him know Chinese characters, read Chinese books, and send him to a certain house in the samurai flower house to learn the double sword method.

In the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, after Zheng Zhilong accepted the appeasement of the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to the general army of Fujian because of his meritorious service in sweeping away pirates and resisting the Dutch invaders. Chongzhen's seven-year-old Zheng Chenggong returned to China by boat with his uncle Zheng Zhiju, who went to greet him, and Tagawa was blocked by the Tokugawa shogunate from staying in Japan on the grounds that Japanese women did not enter China, and at the end of the year, Tagawa gave birth to his second son, Nanazaemon.

After Zheng Chenggong returned to China, he lived in Anping Town, and he did not forget the teachings and expectations of his mother, Tagawa, and continued to read books such as "Spring and Autumn", "Zuo Chuan" and "The Art of War", and still often practiced swords and martial arts. In the following ten years, due to his diligent study and martial arts, he became a young man with great ambition, patriotism, wisdom and courage. He became a national hero who insisted on leading the resistance against the Qing Dynasty in the southeastern half of the country, expelled the Dutch colonists across the sea, victoriously recovered Taiwan, and made great achievements. Zheng Chenggong has the character of a national hero, of course, it is inseparable from his mother Tagawa's education since childhood and her later influence.

Until the fifteenth year of the first year of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Nanzaemon was fifteen years old, Zheng Zhilong again sent a letter to ask Tagawa's mother and son to come to China to reunite with their families, Tagawa was very happy and ready to set off, but was obstructed by the Japanese side, after Tagawa's arguments, the Japanese side agreed to make a trip on the condition that if Tagawa wanted to go to China, her second son Nanazaemon must stay in Japan, in an attempt to force Tagawa to give up the idea of coming to China on the grounds that it was difficult for mother and son to part.

However, Tagawa weighed the pros and cons, remembering that when her husband and son's careers were still developing, she needed to serve Chendu, and when she could not seek perfection, she put the overall situation first, endured the pain and cut her love, and came to China alone. Before leaving, she burst into tears, and repeatedly told Shichizaemon, who lived with her grandfather, and said: "Woohoo, I will finally abandon my son, I pity my father and brother, and I also pity my son, and I will send my son to a merchant ship with some gold at the age of the year." Woohoo, I will abandon my son, although my son will not forget his father and brother, and do not forget the China where my mother has gone. ”

Tagawa sailed from Japan to Anping Town, Quanzhou Prefecture, where he was reunited with her husband and son. At that time, Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, was exiled in Fuzhou, that is, the emperor, and the Tang king made a meritorious contribution to the establishment of the Longwu regime supported by Zheng Zhilong, and was crowned the Duke of Pingguo.

The Qing Dynasty Dorobelebolo led an army into Fujian, Emperor Longwu was captured and killed by the Qing soldiers, and Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Han Dai of Qinggu Mountain drove his troops to Anping, burned and looted the soldiers, and the Tagawa clan was martyred at the age of forty-five. Zheng Chenggong saw that his biological mother died unexpectedly and that the country was ruined, so he angrily rallied the people to raise troops, swore to the sea, and led the southeastern army and people to start a vigorous struggle against the Qing Dynasty, and expelled the Dutch invaders, recovered the motherland territory Taiwan, and fought for 16 years.

When the news of the martyrdom of the Tagawa clan and Zheng Chenggong's rebellion against the Qing Dynasty reached Japan, Nanazaemon repeatedly sent a letter to his brother Zheng Chenggong, asking him to return to China to participate in the anti-Qing Dynasty.

Zheng Chenggong has a deep affection for his mother Tagawa, and once cast a statue of his mother with gold, and made a bed with agarwood and a curtain with five-color jewelry, and cherished it. This golden statue was later robbed and burned away by the Qing army, and Zheng Chenggong hated the Qing Dynasty even more.

Zheng Chenggong personally led 25,000 troops to conquer Taiwan, ending the 38-year rule of the Dutch colonial regime. Such a great cause has made Zheng Chenggong famous in history and become a well-known national hero in contemporary times.

As for the war itself in which Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan, few people know the details, in fact, God is also on Zheng Chenggong's side, and countless chances have resulted in a great cause. With extremely limited troops, the blunt decision-making of the East India Company's superiors, the unpredictable weather at sea, the Dutch commander who dropped the chain at a critical time, and Zheng Chenggong's own clever political skills, the colonial authorities accidentally twisted the direction of history and jointly achieved the good story of the country's recovery of Taiwan.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the Dutch East India Company began to operate on the southeast coast of China, and after two unsuccessful attacks on Macao, they built a fortress in Penghu to seek trade with China, but Penghu was a place for the Ming army to patrol and defend, and the two sides fought each other. As a result, the Dutch withdrew from Penghu at the request of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time received tacit consent and moved to Taiwan, a foreign country, as a substitute.

The Dutch who had just arrived in Taiwan had little need for military defense, and they were faced with only naked aborigines and unarmed Han Chinese peasants, and how to expand trade was the first consideration of the colonial authorities. So the Dutch built a base on a small sandbar called Dayuan, which was separated from the mainland island of Taiwan by the inland sea of the Taijiang River, and named it Gelanza City.

The city of Geranza was a square castle made of bricks, and the construction was elaborate and the walls were thick enough, but its military flaws could not be compensated for by its fortification. First of all, there is the problem of site selection, not only is there no danger to defend, but also there is a lack of clean water, two wells were drilled in the castle, and all they got were unhygienic salt water, and no one would drink it until it was absolutely necessary.

Then there were no moats and cannons were erected too high, and the walls were defended directly below by soldiers' guns and falling rocks. Finally, there is a deadly hazard, a high sand dune to the northeast of it, which can directly threaten it. The Dutch's solution was to build a stone fortress on the dunes, called the Utrecht Blockhouse, which was extremely inexplicable, and the problem was not solved by the fact that there were sand dunes near the bunker that could threaten the bunker, and bulldozing these dunes was not more expensive than building a fortress, but on the contrary, when the bunker was lost, the entire castle would fall with it.

The biggest weakness of the Dutch was the lack of manpower, their strength was too small, and out of fear of the Chinese attack, the East India Company decided that the defenders of the city of Geranza should not be less than 1,200 men at any time. In fact, this resolution was not really fulfilled, and the more than 1,000 garrisons on the island were always scattered to various places for missions, and when Zheng Chenggong attacked, he never confronted the Dutch army of more than 1,000 men.

When the news of Zheng Chenggong's defeat in Nanjing reached Taiwan, there was a lot of rumors on the island, and the Han gentry began to choose sides. One of them, the third brother, first took the initiative to ask the Dutch to strengthen their defenses, but later denied it, refused to cooperate, and was arrested and tortured by the Dutch. All the intelligence claimed that Zheng Chenggong was going to attack Taiwan on the full moon of March, when the Dutch held a local meeting, and when the colonists convened a meeting of indigenous elders from all over the country.

The colonial authorities had to take this information very seriously, and they postponed the local meeting, detained all the Han elders and virtuous people in the city of Geranza, and asked the Han Chinese from other places to move to the vicinity of the town of Geranza. The doors and windows of the houses were dismantled, the stored grain was transported, the grain that could not be collected was simply burned, the fishermen on the outer islands such as Xiaoliuqiu were also recalled, and everything entered a state of full combat readiness.

At the same time, the head of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan, Kuiyi, urgently asked the company's superiors in Batavia for help to transfer reinforcements. However, the thinking of the Batavian side is different from that of Yuyi, for them, the current Taiwan is just like chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it.

The cost of increasing troops to defend the island is by no means enough to make up for the short-term gains on the island, because Taiwan's finances are in a deficit state, and not only have they rejected their request to build additional fortifications, but they have also criticized them for their unauthorized reinforcement of the city of Geranza; if they abandon the island, not only will the previous development be handed over, but it will also be a loss to the glory of the Netherlands and the company.

Eventually, the Batavian authorities sent a reinforcement of 600 men to Taiwan, commanded by Van der Laan. Hoping to recover the cost of sending troops this time, Batavia arranged two tasks for the reinforcements, first, to help defend Taiwan to see if Zheng Chenggong would really attack, and then to confirm Taiwan's security, and then set off with the Taiwan garrison to attack Macao. It seemed that the priority was to defend Taiwan, but the capture of Macau had always been a long-cherished wish of the East India Company, and Van der Laan coveted the dividends afterwards.

As a result, Vanderland's arrival only added more trouble to the Taiwan authorities, and he could not wait to move to Macao, and he had no intention of focusing on Taiwan's defense. After the meeting with the senior officials collapsed, this man returned to Batavia in a fit of rage, taking all the officers with him, and most of the warships with him, leaving only a few hundred uncommanded soldiers in Taiwan.

The Dutch, who were anxious about Zheng's attack on Taiwan, sent an envoy again to meet the country's surname and find out his intentions and truth. Zheng Chenggong received the envoy and replied to a letter to Yu Yi, in which he first admitted the rumors of the eastward expansion, saying that it was deliberately spread to confuse the Qing army, and expressed regret and accusation that the Dutch had wasted his true feelings and goodwill by the Dutch.

As for the Dutchman's allegation that a merchant ship was detained in Penghu, he deduced that it was a pirate who had committed it under the guise of China, and pursued the case of the seizure of a Chinese merchant ship a few years ago, reminding the Dutch that they had done the same thing.

Unmoved by the letter, he believed in Zheng Chenggong's friendliness, and still judged that birdcatchers would blow a gentle flute when trapping birds. But he was also impressed by Cheng's superb diplomatic skills, and after the loss of Taiwan, the last governor deliberately translated the letter in its entirety as a material to defend himself, asking his compatriots to see that the country and his subjects were not as barbaric, rude and uncivilized as they imagined.
