Hongyi didn't pay enough attention to and think deeply about Fu Lin's admonition to Tuhai's "ulterior motives", but he took care of himself to analyze Zheng Zhilong's decisive role in the collapse of the Longwu regime in the Southern Ming Dynasty and the pacification of Fujian by the Qing Dynasty, especially when he thought of the first time in Chinese history that he valued the most, the maritime merchant shili was involved in the central ~ central government ~ power, although it was the central ~ central government ~ power that lasted for a long time, and he believed in the horses and opened his mind-

From a macro historical point of view, what Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong represented during the Ming and Qing dynasties was actually a marine shili along the southeast coast. China is primarily a continental country, and historically, China's maritime shili has rarely played a significant role. But in the late Ming Dynasty, the southeast sea shili rose on the sea, and a considerable shili had been formed.

The characteristic of this shili is that it attaches importance to the sea more than the land, and when the Ming and Qing dynasties, this ocean shili hovered between the two major shili of the Ming and Qing dynasties. No matter which side they move towards, it will have a big impact. Earlier, under the influence of Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Cai and Zheng Chenggong, they chose the path of supporting the Ming and resisting the Qing Dynasty. However, their cooperation with Emperor Longwu was resisted by the civil official clique, and finally Zheng Hongkui retired and Zheng Cai was degraded. Zheng Zhilong, on the other hand, represented the Shili of the Qing faction within the maritime merchants, who from the very beginning opposed being too involved in the Ming and Qing disputes, which was the reason for Zheng Zhilong's cold action against the Tang Dynasty as emperor.

The strategy Zheng Zhilong adopted throughout his life was to cooperate with the imperial court and develop towards the sea. From the reduction of the light to the reduction of the clear, in fact, it is the realization of his line. He believed that there was no way out of confrontation with the Qing Dynasty, and that only by cooperating with it could he maintain his rights. and develop towards the ocean. In the East Asian Sea at that time, Zheng Zhilong's development was increasingly under pressure from the Dutch, and the two faced off across the sea, and sooner or later they had to fight again. Looking at Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty from this perspective, we can understand that he wanted to rely on the Shili of the Qing Dynasty to develop towards the sea. However, this faction is a moral failure and can only become an undercurrent. In the early days, they followed Zheng Hongkui and took the road of cooperation with Emperor Longwu. After failing to cooperate with Emperor Longwu, Zheng Zhilong took advantage of the dissatisfaction with Emperor Longwu in the army. Lead it to the path of lowering the clearing. He overwhelmed the internal anti-Qing shili. And make most of them believe that there is a way out only if they are cleared. In this situation, he finally completed the deployment of the Qingqing.

In the 17 years since the arrival of pirates, Zheng Zhilong has served in Fujian and Guangdong. During his years in Guangdong, he deeply felt that the development potential of this province was far greater than that of Fujian. And. Guangdong was the second major maritime province after Fujian during the Ming and Qing dynasties. In the Teochew area of the province. The ocean shili who has been active against the Zheng family. Zheng Zhilong's dream is to be the governor of Fujian and Guangdong. Dominate China's oceans shili. However, although he served as the commander-in-chief of Guangdong Province, when he was in charge of the finances of the Longwu regime. was still resisted by Guangdong, "Fujian salary is insufficient, Zhilong sent Liang Yingqi to Guangdong to supervise the salary." In response to the strange past, dozens of people were delayed. Ask questions. Neither should it. Yang Qiu, the prefect of Chaozhou, stopped crossing the border. Zheng Zhilong was always seeking to occupy Guangdong, and he once said to Su Zhonggui, a spy of the Qing Dynasty: "Su Guansheng of Guangdong once sent troops to meet me, but I did not go. He also said that the two of us can be the head town when they go to Guangdong, and after I take Guangdong, they can be attached. ”

One of the purposes of Zheng Zhilong's surrender to the Qing Dynasty was to take possession of Guangdong through the Qing Dynasty. "The Legacy of Longwu" recorded his smug calculation: "Liangguang is a subordinate subordinate, if Liangguang is recruited to work for himself, the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou can be obtained, and the king of southern Judah is also." If what Tuhai said was true, Bolo took advantage of his weakness and also used Guangdong as a bait: "And the two Cantonese are not peaceful, and now the governor of Fujian and Guangdong will treat each other." That's why I want the general to come to see him, and I want to discuss local talents. "How straightforward, how explicit, if it is a righteous minister like Hu Shi'an, even if he has already surrendered, he will definitely shirk it. But Zheng Zhilong, who was born in the maritime business, is willing to take risks for the sake of this great benefit!

However, after Zheng Zhilong swallowed the bait, he was forced to be sent to Beijing by Bolo. Zheng Zhilong not only did not get the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, but also did not even give him any real position, but only gave him the title of Jingqi Hafan.

Bolo's coercion of Zheng Zhilong to go north to Beijing was precisely one of the stupidest decisions of the Qing court.

After the Qing court entered the Central Plains, it always controlled its leaders and used their subordinates. Therefore, such as Zuo Mengeng, who just died in the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Liu Zeqing, who was killed in the second year of Shunzhi because of the capriciousness of the Qing court, and other Ming Dynasty generals, were all coerced to Beijing after the Qing Dynasty, and their subordinate generals were reused, such as "Jiading Three Massacres", "Eliminate the Second Emperor" and "Sweep the Two Guangzhous", but finally "oppose the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming", "fall from a horse and drown" The "controversial figure" Li Chengdong, as well as Ma Degong and others who were given a top belt and went out of Quanzhou in the eleventh year of Shunzhi because of their previous merits.

On a large scale, this policy is right, but it is a mistake to use this strategy against Zheng Zhilong's ministry. In addition to Zheng Zhilong's sincere surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zhilong's eldest son Zheng Chenggong and others are all pro-Qing factions. Many of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates' original intentions were not clear, but seeing that the Qing court coaxed Zheng Zhilong into Beijing under house arrest, they knew that the Qing Dynasty was not treated like this, and they were all cold-hearted, and they all became pro-Ming and anti-Qing factions in the future. If Bolo didn't break his promise and get fat at that time, but really used Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong pacified Fujian and Guangdong for him, it can be said that it was just around the corner. The Qing court's mistakes allowed the war in the southeast to continue for decades, which it did not expect.

On the 10th day of the fifth month of the tenth year of Shunzhi in the official history, Fulin once said on this matter: "Zier Zheng Zhilong went south as a soldier, and before he arrived in Fujian, he sent people to Shun, moved and withdrew the troops, father and son brothers, returned to the heart of the dynasty, and made great contributions." King Mollegan [Dolgon] was inconsiderate, only from the thin narrative, suspicious, too strict precautions, and in Fujian dependents were not allowed to be nurtured, so that the door was frightened, and could not be at ease. This speaks to the true mentality of the Zheng Group at that time, and also shows that Zheng Zhilong and the Qing army should cooperate with each other, and Fulin knows it. didn't mention anything else, and it showed that he knew that at that time, Bolo's big mouth made a wish back then was still unknown to the imperial court!

In the case of Zheng Zhilong, his personal tragedy is not only personal, it is also the tragedy of China's marine shili.

If we look at Zheng Zhilong's surrender from a personal standpoint only, we can say that he is a traitor. But looking at Zheng Zhilong from the movements of all strata, we should admit that Zheng Zhilong was an "outstanding" representative of China's marine shili, which had risen at that time.

Zheng Zhilong was a maritime merchant and a pirate. From a pirate to a general of the Ming Dynasty's naval division, and then from a minister of the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, his actions actually reflected the political trends of China's maritime merchants. As a new class, the Chinese maritime merchants had a struggle and compromise with the Ming Dynasty. Under pressure from the Dutch colonists, this group eventually chose the path of compromising with the Ming Dynasty and fighting against the Dutch. In the last decade or so, this strategy was successful. With his back to the mainland, Zheng Zhilong controlled the course of the Taiwan Strait, thus confronting the Dutch in Taiwan.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, in fact, he also wanted to inherit the effective strategy in history. Coordination with the Qing Dynasty, which had no maritime interests. Strive for their support, so that they can fight against the Dutch and fight for hegemony in the East Asian seas. If his strategy of unification is carried out, he will be able to contend with the competition of Western colonialists at sea. There will be more advantages. Therefore. He moved closer to the Qing court. It is not a matter of personal likes and dislikes, but of deliberate action, in the long-term interests of maritime merchants. His strategy may have been more favorable to the development of maritime business.

However, at the beginning of the Qing court's entry into the Central Plains, they were not yet able to understand the position and sincerity of the maritime merchants. They just regarded Zheng Zhilong as a powerful man in the secession area, and used the method of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle to trap Zheng Zhilong. If Zheng Zhilong had only been an army on land, the Qing court's strategy would have succeeded. But Zheng Zhilong was fundamentally the representative of the Chinese maritime shili, they had maritime armaments that were difficult for the imperial court to control, and the Qing Dynasty did not yet understand this shili: the Chinese maritime merchants were already a powerful class at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and they would put out their own representatives anyway, and if one Zheng Zhilong disappeared from the political scene, they would introduce several Zheng Zhilong to represent them. Therefore, the Qing court's entrapment of Zheng Zhilong only made the anti-Qing faction gain power among maritime merchants. Since then, Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian, Zheng Chenggong and others have successively stepped onto the stage of history and adopted a strategy of confrontation with the Qing Dynasty.

For Haiyang Shili, Zheng Zhilong's failure to surrender to the Qing Dynasty shows that the Qing Dynasty did not understand and accept the maritime liliang in the southeast. They could only develop by taking the path of union with the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Chenggong was a practitioner of this strategy. During the nearly twenty years that Zheng Chenggong had sailed along the southeast coast, the Chinese maritime merchants had built up a formidable armed force that had the goal of expelling the Dutch and dominating the seas of East Asia. However, the development of Shili at sea is fundamentally inseparable from the support of the mainland. This is because most of the goods they trade come from the production of cities on land. In order to control these commodities, they had to fight on the mainland, and they fought against the Qing army on land, so they had the possibility of defeat and increased the cost of obtaining commodities, which was contrary to the law of capital operation. Therefore, the ultimate way out for the Chinese maritime shili in the Ming and Qing dynasties was to reach agreement with the imperial court in order to obtain a cheap source of goods.

In real history, after decades of war, the Qing court also gradually understood the sea shili in the southeast. After the Kangxi Emperor came to power, the Qing court adopted a strategy of focusing on appeasement and supplemented by strikes; Since the rebellion of the three feudatories, the Qing Dynasty has also gradually adjusted its maritime policy, moving from the strictest maritime ban to allowing foreign trade, and opening ports after the surrender of Taiwan to legalize foreign trade. In this context, the southeastern maritime shili and the Qing court eventually coordinated with each other. After a detour, history has finally returned to the inherent track of its development.

But, in Hongyi's eyes, it was still too late at that time. During the Shunzhi Dynasty in which he participated, he wanted to give this sea shili a big chance to make a comeback, so that they could grow stronger in advance and more smoothly......

"Xuanye ......"

Hongyi is in the sea and the sky, but he hears Fu Lin calling his "official name"!

"Erchen is here!" In a hurry, Hongyi hurriedly answered.

“……”

Fu Lin was a little strange, he just said, "Do you still have any objections?" What Xuan Ye said, I thought I could be allowed to ......", but the youngest son said halfway that "the son is here"!

Oh, this kid is distracted! It seems that his style towards Tuhai just now has attracted his attention, which is very good! Dad, I'm thinking about you, you're too young to catch fire! It's good to understand!

So, Fulin smiled and said:

"Today, you participated in the meeting, and there are many good words for the policies discussed, and the heart of the emperor is very gratified. Is there anything else you would like to say? ”

"The sons have thanked Huang Ama and nothing else."

Hongyi is very distracted, so he is concise and to the point. But in the eyes of Fu Lin, it is a wise move!

"What else do you have to say?"

"Slaves (ministers) are all subject to holy judgment!"

Fu Lin was very satisfied with the affirmative statements of the ministers of the Manchu and Han dynasties, and began to sort out the main results of this imperial meeting.

"The Ministry of Rites drafted the edict. On a certain day, he sent his right-hand minister to the DPRK to inquire about the incident. "Blessings

"Minion Command!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Engde and Hu Shi'an knelt down to receive the holy message.

"The Criminal Department will immediately find out the bad deeds and crimes of the North Korean envoys and horse dealers, Ma Youde and others, and severely punish them according to the law!"

"Minion Command!" Shang Shu Tuhai and Liu Chang of the Criminal Department also knelt down.

"The three departments under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War, together with the firearms battalion, will list the military supplies in detail and draft the "Military Quartermaster Regulations" to be approved by the Emperor."

"Minion Command!" Luo Langqiu and Dai Ming, the secretaries of the Ministry of Households, Guo Ke and Wei Zhouzuo, the secretaries of the Ministry of Industry, and the Secretaries of the Ministry of War, Ka Dahun and Li Jiqi, knelt down one after another to receive the order.

As everyone said, this matter is complicated and time-consuming, and it takes a few capable ministers to take the lead. Toma Law. Are you willing to do it? ”

"The old minister will definitely go all out and live up to his holy hope!" John Tang hurriedly accepted the order.

"Good! I'll give you a few more Operators! Jueluo Kolkun, Scholar Zhekune, you help Tomafa, you must do your best! ”

"Minion Command!" Colcoin and Ori Kune accept the task.

"Good! All of you are dependent ministers, and today's meeting. They all know everything, and they say everything. I am very happy. You can all go back and get ready as soon as you can. Wu Liangfu is a good student to spread all doors, let them go as soon as possible, and do not entangle. Oh yes. Kadahun, Ming'an Dali, Tomma Fa...... And Xuan Ye, you stay a little longer, I still have a few words to say. ”

Fu Lin ended the Imperial Council, but after careful consideration, four more people remained.

"The minions (ministers) are retired."

The others were relieved, hurriedly bowed down, withdrew from the temple, and hurried away......

For some of them, it's not time to go to bed yet!

[Volume 5 - Ninety-Nine Double Ninth Festival, the end.] 】

I finally finished writing this long and boring volume. Hongyi breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the poor clicks, and smiled with relief.

The online text has its form of survival, just like when I started coding words, many netizens kindly reminded: "You wrote a "Introduction" as "A Longer Introduction", do you know that many book friends found that you couldn't get into the main topic in five or six chapters, and they didn't even read it. Hongyi was speechless at the time, full of grievances, because in this long introduction, he conceived for a month and arranged a lot of so-called "foreshadowing......

Later, there were more code words, and I had to admit that this kind of processing was a mistake, in fact, there were many ways to choose from, but I didn't have to admit this dead reason. After all, online literature is fast food literature, and everyone is trying to have fun: the more you write, the more readers will buy it. Therefore, in the process of rewriting again, the introduction really becomes concise and clear. It doesn't even matter if there is an "Introduction" or not.

I thought I had adapted to the online text and the needs of the public, until I wrote this volume - a lengthy meeting. Looking back, I found that I still hadn't changed, and I still accepted death so much.

A meeting is full of people "bangbang", so boring. But Hongyi is very persistent, because this lengthy memory represents the ideological context of the protagonist for a long time later, and it is also mixed with a lot of thinking about history and reality, so he can't stop. What kind of situation is it, maybe there will always be two or three, three or five readers who have the patience to read through it will understand me. However, I can guarantee that the following chapters will be more uplifting, and the pace will be significantly faster! And such a lengthy meeting, in the history of Dream through Kangxi, there will be two more at most...... ⊙_⊙b Khan!

Zuihou, I dedicate this volume to my dearest little girl, Jiujiu. [Hehe, do you know why this volume is called "The Double Ninth Festival for a Long Time"? 】

Watching my little girl grow up day by day, as a father, I always want to leave something for your daughter. Someone left behind an inexhaustible wealth, but unfortunately my father entered the wrong industry and became a civil servant who is now very miserable and inferior to the lower ninth rate. Didn't someone say that if you want to get rich, you shouldn't be a civil servant? Dad, I'm pretty good at that. Fortunately, when you were four or five years old, you decided not to be a civil servant, because you said that when you were a civil servant, you didn't dare to ask for leave to leave your post, and you didn't dare to ask for leave to go home after overtime, and your salary was not as high as the father of a certain kindergarten classmate...... Well, Dad uses practical actions to prove that you are right!

So after being a father for a hundred years, what can I leave you behind? There is only spiritual wealth - writing this, my father himself is blushing, and I am cautious when I post a **Weibo, for fear of becoming the target of the public, what spiritual heritage will I leave you to evaluate and be proud of? Even this online article probably won't make you think that your father will become tall and majestic, first of all, I don't agree! Because, there are only two words in this whole article: "crossing"! In other words, running a train with a mouth full of mouths, there is no truth!

But after careful consideration, my father decided to solemnly "dedicate" this unique and boring volume in the article to you, my beloved daughter for a long time!

Because in the process of writing this chapter, Dad endured the cold treatment of most readers every day, and a small number of attacks and abuses from dung Qing, the reason for this is that Dad was silent in his own thoughts, writing persistently and stupidly.

In fact, being a human being should be the same as the state of my father when he wrote this volume - insist on yourself and not be moved! The process must be difficult, and the result may not be satisfactory, but we should all know clearly what we want! What Dad wants in this volume is to seize that opportunity in the middle of the seventeenth century and make all the Chinese who live in the illusory Shijie in Daddy's mind laugh at the world in a few decades! If this is the case, when you come to "this" shijie, you will be a dignified and upright "Chinese" who does not care about white, black or red, but all foreigners will respect you when they see you and give you a nod and a bow!

Dear for a long time, the children in the school can be friends with you or not, I am fortunate to have it, but I have lost my life. You don't understand it yet, it doesn't matter, dad put it another way: you have the best and most haode friend, you haven't found it yet, she will always be there for you, although she will deny you, hit you, and even hurt you, but she will always be there for you. Who is she? In fact, it is your true inner self. Find her, get along with her well, whether it's intimate or intimate, whether it's open and secret fighting, she's the most real.

Dear Jiujiu, be yourself, no matter what others say or do, don't be afraid of how difficult and difficult the process is, just be yourself......

By the way, Dad will accompany you to find yourself and love you deeply, and yourself! (To be continued......)
