After the failure of Li Zicheng's remnants to resist the Qing in Hunan, he moved to the Sichuan and Eshan mountains to carry out activities, and continued to resist the Qing in the area east of Kuizhou Prefecture, known as the Kuidong Thirteen Army, and the Qing army began to attack until the leader Li Laiheng was killed and died.

After the defeat at the Battle of Nanjing, Zheng Chenggong retreated to Kinmen and Xiamen, and led his army to capture Dutch-occupied Taiwan and set the capital at Dongning. His son, Zheng Jing, once participated in the rebellion of the three feudatories, and led his army to participate in the counteroffensive and failed. Emperor Kangxi ordered Shi Lang to attack Ming Zheng, Shi Lang defeated Liu Guoxuan to conquer Penghu, posing a strategic threat to Taiwan, and finally Zheng Kexuan shaved his hair and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and Zhu Shugui, the king of Ningjing in the Ming Dynasty, committed suicide and martyrdom with his five concubines, and the last anti-Qing force was destroyed.

Zheng Chenggong led 100,000 Northern Expeditionary troops to march to Nanjing, and the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had high morale all the way, conquered Ningbo, raided Jiangyin, captured Guazhou, and restored Zhenjiang, and reached the outskirts of Nanjing. Zheng Chenggong personally came to the Ming Tomb to worship Zhu Yuanzhang, and wrote a heroic verse: "Su Linjiang swore to destroy Hu, the male master swallowed Wu with 100,000 angers, tried to teach the moat to throw a whip, and did not believe in the Central Plains or Zhu." ”

Soon after, the Qing government's Jiangnan Governor Guan Xiaozhong, who was already powerless to resist, wrote a letter to Zheng Chenggong, expressing his willingness to surrender, but he had to wait for thirty days. Because the Qing government has a rule, any general who defends the city and insists on it for more than 30 days, even if he loses it, his wife can not be punished. Zheng Chenggong expected that the Qing army would be defeated, but he didn't suspect it, and really didn't move.

The purpose of Guan Xiaozhong's letter is actually a delaying tactic, he is waiting for reinforcements, sure enough, the Zheng army has not had time to attack the city, the Qing army's Su Songshui Division's brigade has been killed, and bombarded the vanguard of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Qing army in the city also rushed out of the city after war preparations, two flanking attacks, so that Zheng Chenggong, who was not prepared, was in a hurry, panicked, the forward collapsed, and the whole army was defeated and retreated.

Zheng Chenggong's intestines were so regretful that he was green, and he reviewed it to his generals, saying that it was all my fault for underestimating the enemy. After Zheng Chenggong's defeat, the Qing army took advantage of the situation to attack and issued a ban on the sea, burning all the coastal houses in Fujian, leaving no stone behind. The fire burned for two months, and more than half of the displaced refugees who were forced to move were killed.

The Qing government's relocation and ban on the sea was simply a draw from the bottom of the kettle for Zheng Chenggong, and in order to support him, he had to open up a new anti-Qing base. Zheng Chenggong had no choice but to do his best to recover Taiwan.

Zheng Chenggong ordered his son Zheng Jing to stay in Kinmen, Xiamen and other islands, and he led more than 25,000 people, divided into hundreds of warships, and set out from Kinmen, crossed the Taiwan Strait, and went to Penghu to rest and prepare to take Taiwan directly. The Dutch who invaded Taiwan saw that something was wrong, and they relied on their advanced weapons, concentrated their troops in the two castles of Taiwan and Chichi, and blocked the port with sunken ships, in an attempt to prevent Zheng Chenggong's fleet from landing.

On the other hand, they hoped to get Zheng Chenggong to withdraw from the army through peace talks, and Zheng Chenggong solemnly warned the Dutch: "I have no other demands, this is my family's land, return me." ”

He also gave an ultimatum to the Dutch leader: "Taiwan, the land of China, has long been occupied by your country, and if I come to claim it today, the land shall be mine." ”

The Dutch have a ridiculous belief that one Dutch army can withstand twenty-five Chinese, and they think that Zheng Chenggong's army is equally vulnerable. Zheng Chenggong's army sailed from Luermen to Taiwan Port, and more than 200 warships quickly entered the port and were distributed in the vast bay, and the islanders poured out one after another to use various tools to help Zheng Jun's landing, and in just two hours, all 20,000 horses and horses went ashore.

The next day, the Dutch army of 240 men divided into two to attack the Zheng army, but they were beaten to the ground, only 80 of them fled back, and the commander was killed on the spot.

At the same time, fierce fighting broke out over the waters of Geranza, with warships of both sides shelling each other. The largest Dutch warship, the Hector, was blown to pieces, killing more than 100 people on board, and another large ship, the Graflan, was attacked by Zheng Jun and set on fire, and fled to Japan. Subsequently, Zheng Chenggong ordered the siege of the Dutch city of Geranza, and forced the Dutch to surrender with a long-term siege.

Zheng Chenggong's army, which defeated the Netherlands, shocked Southeast Asia, and Zheng Chenggong sent a letter to the Philippine governor, full of domineering. After Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, the Spaniards entrenched in the Philippines were dumbfounded, the awesome Dutch army was not Zheng Chenggong's opponent, let alone the strength of the Spaniards in the Philippines, a total of 600 Spanish garrisons, 200 people were sent to guard the city wall, and less than 400 people could be mobilized. At this time, Zheng Chenggong's warships were like clouds, thousands of miles away, hundreds of thousands of troops, and the power of victory, once he went south, the Philippines was simply at his fingertips.

The missionary Li Krot sent by Zheng Chenggong came to Marila in the Philippines as a special envoy and delivered Zheng Chenggong's letter to the Spanish governor in the Philippines, in which Zheng Chenggong described his defeat of the Dutch, saying: "The hateful Dutchman knows the height of the sky, and dares to abuse our people, rob merchant ships, and become like thieves." They were obsessed and made me angry, so I led my division to fight in April, and the soldiers arrived in Taiwan to hunt and kill countless Dutch, and the Dutch fled and stripped and begged for surrender, and in an instant, the city treasury was all mine. ”

He warned the Spaniards: "You are no different from the Dutch, I pacified Taiwan today, with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of warships, and I originally wanted to lead my division to fight in person." Besides, from Taiwan to your country, the waterway is fast, you can set off in the morning and arrive at night; if you know the stakes and come to pay tribute every year, then we can still do business, if you blindly play cunning, then my warship will be in place immediately, I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible, and do not regret it when it expires. "It can be said that it is very domineering.

At the critical moment, the news of Zheng Jing's scandal came, which greatly stimulated Zheng Chenggong, and the bad news was repeated, and he finally died suddenly. Zheng Jing is Zheng Chenggong's eldest son, when Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan, Zheng Jing was only nineteen years old, he married the daughter of Tang Xianyue, the secretary of the Southern Ming Military Department, but the relationship was not good after marriage, Zheng Jing's fourth brother had a wet nurse surnamed Chen, and I don't know why the two of them were together, Zheng Jing liked Chen very much, and soon Chen became pregnant and gave birth to a son.

Zheng Chenggong was fighting abroad, and although he was strict in governing his family, he was beyond his power. Zheng Jing told Zheng Chenggong the news that he had a son, and lied that he was born to his wife Tang, Zheng Chenggong was very happy after receiving the letter, not only praised Zheng Jing and Tang, but also personally named the child. At this time, Zheng Chenggong received a letter from Tang Xianyue.

It turned out that Tang told his father all the things after learning about Zheng Jing's scandal, Tang Xianyue was furious when he heard about it, and immediately sent a letter to Zheng Chenggong, in which he explained the truth of the matter very clearly, and reprimanded Zheng Chenggong for teaching his son without a way, saying that he was not strict in governing his family and could govern the country in peace. Zheng Chenggong was completely shocked at that moment, and when he learned the truth, he was ashamed and indignant, and immediately ordered that his brother Zheng Tai, who stayed in Jinmen, clean up the door for him, first kill Zheng Jing's mother, then Zheng Jing and Chen, and finally kill the child born to Chen.

Zheng Tai received the order, but did not carry it out, he said to the others: "Can we kill the master mother and the little master?" and then staged a coup d'état, took control of Kinmen and Xiamen, and openly defied Zheng Chenggong's order.

At the same time, the bad news kept coming, first I heard that my father and the whole family who surrendered to the Manchu Qing were ordered to be executed by the Qing government. Then the rebel Huang Wu dug up the ancestral grave of the Zheng family, Zheng Chenggong learned of the murderous letter, gritted his teeth and swore that he must break Huang Wu's body into ten thousand pieces and take revenge; the most deadly news is that the Yongli Emperor who had taken refuge in Burma was handed over to Wu Sangui by the Burmese king, Wu Sangui had killed the Yongli Emperor, and Zheng Chenggong could only cry bitterly when he heard it.

Zheng Chenggong learned that the generals would jointly disobey the order and not kill Zheng Jing, his heart was painful, and he climbed high every day to look at the direction of Penghu to see if there was a boat coming, and finally unfortunately contracted the wind and cold, Zheng Chenggong grabbed his face with both hands when he was dying, and shouted loudly: "What face do I have to see the first emperor underground." ”

The poor hero died young, and Zheng Chenggong was only thirty-eight years old when he died. If Zheng Chenggong did not die, with the powerful maritime weapons in the hands of the Zheng clan at that time, the appearance of China's modern coastal defense would certainly be greatly changed, and the history of the entire East Asia would also be rewritten.

A generation of heroes, the commander of the anti-Qing Dynasty, self-disciplined and strict, has the merit of recovering Taiwan, and the ambition of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty has failed, but he is still a hero, but it is a pity. It is a pity that the barbaric and backward Manchu court has been able to ravage the land of China for nearly 300 years.

After Zheng Chenggong's death, the son Zheng Jing was in Xiamen, and the generals on the Taiwan side supported Zheng Chenggong's fifth brother Zheng Xi to inherit Zheng Chenggong's throne.

Zheng Jing immediately consulted Chen Yonghua and joined the army Feng Xifan as a guard, and the army returned to Taiwan, and finally Zheng Jing's army was defeated, Zheng Jing took the leadership position and established the Zheng dynasty in Taiwan, and foreign merchants called him the king of Taiwan.

Zheng Jing failed to participate in the rebellion of the three feudatories, lost Xiamen and other original bases, and was depressed and drunk and obsessed with beautiful women every day, and handed over the government to Chen Yonghua and Feng Xifan, and the two factions began to fight, the eldest son Zheng Kezhang and Chen Yonghua's faction, Feng Xifan and Liu Guoxuan, and Zheng Jing's second son Zheng Kexuan's faction, led to the collapse of the Zheng dynasty.

Chen Yonghua was deceived by Feng Xifan, and he also played to retreat from the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect Zheng Jing to approve it, Chen Yonghua had to end up depressed, and the government fell into the hands of Feng Fanxi.

After Zheng Jing's death, the eldest son Zheng Kezang was supposed to succeed him, he was wise and decisive, quite like his grandfather Zheng Chenggong's momentum, and often stopped the corruption and domineering of his uncles, causing his uncles to be dissatisfied. Zheng Jing died suddenly, Feng Xifan and Zheng Jing's brothers came out to oppose it, insisting that Chen Yonghua's son-in-law Zheng Kezhang was not the eldest son but a moth, and that Feng Xifan's son-in-law Zheng Kezhang, who was only twelve years old, should ascend the throne.

And Zheng Cong, Zheng Ming and other uncles spread rumors to Mrs. Dong, saying that Zheng Kezhang was not, so Mrs. Dong wanted to see Liu Guoxuan and Feng Xifan to understand the situation, Liu Guoxuan did not attend the appointment because he was sick, so Mrs. Dong ordered to summon Zheng Kezang.

Zheng Kezhang did not doubt that he had him, and when he entered Mrs. Dong's mansion and did not see his grandmother, he was stabbed into the abdomen by Feng Xifan's entourage Cai Tian, and then Zheng Cong, Zheng Ming, Zheng Zhi, and Zheng Rou were beaten to death with wooden sticks, and Mrs. Dong learned that it was too late for her grandson to be killed.

In the end, he had to change the twelve-year-old Zheng Kezhang to the throne, three days after Zheng Kezhang was killed, his wife also committed suicide while pregnant with Liujia, and Mrs. Dong thought that she had indirectly contributed to the killing of her grandson, and she also died of resentment and boredom. Chen Yonghua's nephew Chen Shenwu was also ostracized by Feng Xifan and dismissed, and since then all state affairs have been presided over by Feng Xifan.
