Hearing that the emperor was full of confidence in Zheng Zhilong, the king of Tong'an, Hongyi was not surprised.

In fact, for Zheng Zhilong, even he himself didn't believe that he would one day openly betray the Qing court again! Not to mention anything else, Zheng Zhilong is a pirate, which can be regarded as the first rebellion; to Quanzhou to surrender and sail away, this is another rebellion; Descend to the Ming and return to the Qing, this is the three rebellions. If he rebelled against the Qing court again, he would not even be a "second minister", and the result could only be "not a person inside and outside, and the Manchus and Han were not pleased"! The cost of betrayal again is too great, and there is no good thing to make him make such a choice, as a maritime businessman and a big businessman, he will never make this kind of risky investment.

"Erchen has only one thing to worry about, but it is not King Tong'an, but Zheng Shisen, King of Haicheng!" Hongyi judged that it was time to talk about Zheng Chenggong!

"Why?" Fu Lin's heart was cold, but he pretended to be calm.

For Zheng Sen, the young emperor is very familiar.

Since Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the third year of Shunzhi (1646), Zheng Sen persuaded his father to go to the Confucian Temple to cry and burn Confucian clothes, so he led his troops to the sea under the banner of "betraying his father to save the country" and continued to resist the Qing Dynasty in the Jinxia area. During the fourth to seventh years of Shunzhi, Zheng Sen led his father's maritime powerhouse and original team to break through Tong'an, Haicheng, Zhangpu, Quanzhou and the coastal areas of southern Fujian in Fujian, and entered Kinmen and Xiamen. Zheng Sen even renamed Xiamen "Siming Prefecture[1]", which became the political center and base of the anti-Qing resistance.

Until the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Zheng and Qing fought several times, in addition to the battlefield, mainly on the issue of surrender and surrender. Especially after the ninth year of Shunzhi, Fulin and Zheng Sen were on the issue of how to surrender. There was a broad and in-depth "partial agreement" -

In the ninth and tenth years of Shunzhi, Fulin issued several decrees, explaining that the specific reason for Zheng Sen's refusal to surrender was nothing more than Dolgon's constraints, unfavorable conditions, etc., and successively named him the Duke of Haicheng and the General of Jinghai, and issued a seal edict to him, and gave him a reward of silver. Zheng Sen also had several written correspondence with the imperial court and conducted in-depth negotiations. In April of the 11th year of Shunzhi, in addition to the three issues of "retaining hairstyles and clothes", "exercising local jurisdiction", and "collecting taxes on foreign ships", the Qing court agreed to Zheng Sen's requests, such as stationing the four prefectures of "Quanzhang Huichao", allocating military salaries, managing civil officials, military attachés under the original jurisdiction, preventing and suppressing pirates, and inspecting foreign ships.

Why can't the above three questions be discussed?

Needless to say, shaving hair is easy to wear, this is a knot in the hearts of the Manchurian comrades.

Exercise of local jurisdiction. Zheng Sen wanted to have the final say. The Qing court also had to appoint officials at all levels of the "state capital and daotai" to manage local government affairs, which was modeled on the common practice of the three major vassal kings with different surnames in the early Qing Dynasty, except for Wu Sangui—you can claim the locality, but you can't cover the sky with one hand. Therefore, Fu Lin repeatedly emphasized: "The magistrate's evaluation of civil, lawsuits, money and food, etc., are all in charge of duties. Own supervision and management. [Zheng Sen] must not intervene".

As for the collection of foreign vessel tax. But it is the most interesting - Zheng Sen summed up the experience of his father Zheng Zhilong, and believed that it was difficult to support his huge sailors by taxing the agricultural economy. And it is not conducive to winning people's hearts, so it is necessary to extract heavy profits from the red hair. And the Qing court is not a stupid hat, the Westerners have a lot of oil and water, how can they give it up and let you Zheng Sen use it to grow and develop? As a result, Fulin clearly demanded that "the tax on foreign ships be collected and still handed over to the political envoy to Jiejing".

Although the three difficulties are tricky, the two sides have always maintained contact, and each has always strived to maximize its own interests. But in July of the eleventh year of Shunzhi, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, which can be found from a will of Fulin at that time-

"Ji Chou (the second day of the seventh month), Zheng Chenggong, the general of Chenggong and Jinghai, said: Since ancient times, Junjie met the lord who treated people sincerely, and he was obedient and loyal to him, so that he could establish meritorious deeds and be famous. Those who do not suspect and wait and see, can be called a person who knows his fate. I inherit the blessing of the emperor and heaven, there are thousands of directions, a corner of the sea, why is it difficult to choose the master? But the people of Minqiao are all innocent, and they can't bear to be diligent. He also remembered that his father Zheng Zhilong was the earliest, loyal and commendable, so he pushed the favor and extended the reward, and the Duke of Fenger gave him the seal. Baer was stationed in Quan, Zhang, Hui, and Chao Prefectures, and allocated salaries to the camp soldiers, and raised the soldiers under the army. I can say that I am the most honest to you! You should be devoted to your heart, and you will no longer care about righteousness. ”

"Today, according to Ershu, although it has been sealed, it has not yet been raised, and I hope to commission the whole of Fujian. He also falsely claimed to use troops to slash Zhoushan, and gave money and grain to Wen, Taiwan, Ning, Shao and other places nearby. The words are so good, and the requirements are tireless! Naifu excused himself by not completely [withdrawing] the defense troops of the four prefectures. If you have not yet returned to sincerity, how can you first defend the army? If you are suspicious and hesitant, and you have no intention of being honest, you should understand what Chen said. Both ends of the line and the opposite, a word can be decided! If you follow the edict you receive, you will return to obedience, if you do not return to obedience, you will carefully review the plan, and you will not regret it! ”

It can be seen that the focus of the contradiction between the two sides lies in two things: whether to shave their hair and whether the four prefectures of Quanzhang and Huichao are stationed by Zheng Sen's army alone.

Fortunately, Hongyi crossed the sky and turned the tide in September of that year, adopting the method of "advancing and retreating": shaving his hair and obeying the Qing court; Not only the four prefectures of Quanzhang and Huichao, but even the garrison rights of the whole province of Fujian were all given to Zheng Sen! One fiction and one reality, which is more important, Zheng Sen has his own considerations. Coupled with Fulin's sacrifice to the Ming Dynasty, the recognition of his Zhengshuo status, Zheng Zhilong's hard persuasion, and the fact that he can harm his mother's enemies with his hands, all kinds of advantages, Zheng Sen finally became the king of Haicheng in the Qing Dynasty!

If it weren't for Hongyi, in November of that year, the Qing court began to order all governors and towns in Fujian to rectify their military camps, stick to the border, and prepare to compete with Zheng Sen. In December, the prince Jidu would have been the general of Dingyuan, and the troops would go south, and the real swords and guns would start to fight! Although Zheng Chenggong went north and south separately in history, he fought quite effectively, and even besieged Nanjing in the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, which frightened the young man Fulin, but in the end it fell short and failed to change history.

In this case, in Hongyi's view, it is better to rescue the people from the long-term war, let the Manchus and Han integrate earlier, recover the whole island of Taiwan a few years earlier, and make time to fight with foreign devils and open up another 300-year-old great cause of China!

"Huang Ama, King Haicheng is very different from King Tong'an. King Tong'an was born in a family of small officials, and he wanted to make a lot of profits and glorify his ancestors. King Haicheng was born in the Wa Kingdom, and was bullied many times when he was young. In particular, he has a soft spot for Central Plains Zhengshuo. Compared with his father, this person does not value fame and fortune, but values the so-called Zhengshuo lineage! ”

Hongyi's finishing touch is a big truth! This really made everyone's hearts tremble.

"You mean, he has always refused to admit my Fengtian carrier of the Great Qing Dynasty?" Fu Lin hated others for treating him as a barbarian, and his eyes were suddenly full of murderous intent!

Is it just him? Even the few Hanchen sitting in the main hall, how many of them sincerely thought that your Manchu Qing Dynasty was in the Zhengshuo vein when you entered the Central Plains? - Hongyi thinks so, but he can never say so.

"Huang Ama, this may not be. Therefore, the number of tomorrows is exhausted, and the Qing Dynasty is like the sun rising in the east. This is providential. No one dares to go against the sky! Xiao Xuanye's words can be regarded as freeing several Hanchen who were sitting on pins and needles, and they praised and swore one after another.

"What Erchen is worried about is King Haicheng's remembrance and reluctance to 'dominate the Han family'!" I can't kill the national hero Zheng Chenggong, but I put it in the concept of the "big family of the Chinese nation" in later generations. Let's interpret Zheng Sen before the recovery of Taiwan. It's still okay, right?

"Alas. It seems that he still has good intentions. The Manchu and Han families, not only are Manchuria puzzled, but even the Han people have failed me! Fulin soothed his emotions. but he became grieving.

"How dare the ministers live up to the holy will? Don't dare to die! Liu Chang took the lead in showing his loyalty, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to be vague.

"Everyone, get up, I'm out of shape." Fu Lin beat his spirit and comforted several Hanchen.

"Xuan Ye, in that case, your third defense is used on Zheng Shisen, the son of King Tong'an and the king of Haicheng?" Fu Lin guessed wisely.

"Emperor Ama Shengming!" Hongyi took a deep look and admired the appearance of throwing himself to the ground.

I can't let Zheng Chenggong jump out and ruin my good deeds! Although you are a national hero, you are just taking back the island of Taiwan, which originally belonged to us, China, and what I want to do is by no means a major event that can be compared to the island of Taiwan! I'm sorry, my surname!

[To declare: Hongyi will never dare to slander and shake Zheng Chenggong's status as a national hero, this is a big question of right and wrong! ] As for the views in the novel, it is the words of a family, and it is just a literary processing in the historical view of international relations in the seventeenth century. But then again, if the maritime trade network of Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen could be accepted and put to good use by the Qing court, Hongyi thought that by the Qianlong period, the Qing Dynasty and Britain would basically be able to rule Shijie...... In other words, if the Southern Ming Longwu Dynasty did not adopt the Zodiac Zhou's policy of defending the land exclusively, but obeyed Zheng Zhilong's policy of maritime progress, and seized Taiwan earlier, thinking that if the base entered the west, maybe the Shunzhi Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty would return to the white mountains and black waters...... As a result, perhaps the current map of China may reach north to the vicinity of the Arctic Ocean......]

[1] At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Xiamen was called the "Zhongzuo Institute". In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1394), in order to resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders, Xiamen City was built in Xiamen, and the name of Xiamen began from here. After the completion of the city, the imperial court set up a guard here to guard a thousand households. Moved to Yongning Weizhong and Zuo on Xiamen Island, with 20 warships and 1,204 soldiers, the local administration of Xiamen was still under Tong'an County. In the third year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1646), the Qing army marched into Fujian, and Zheng Chenggong, who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, occupied Xiamen and Kinmen as the base of "restoring the Ming Dynasty". In February of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, Zheng Chenggong changed the left of the center to Siming Prefecture, which means missing the Ming Dynasty. The state bureau has set up six officials, including governors and officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, and recruited officials who have been left behind to handle military and political affairs. As an integral part of the national political region of the Southern Ming Dynasty. In January of the seventeenth year of Yongli (A.D. 1663), Siming Prefecture was changed to Siming County. In the nineteenth year of Kangxi (1680 AD), the Qing army captured Xiamen and Kinmen, abolished Siming County, and Xiamen Island rebelonged to Tong'an County. In 1935, when the Nationalist Government established a city in Xiamen, it was an integral part of the urban area, and in 1946, it was the central district office. In 1950, the People's Government changed the urban area of Xiamen to "Siming District" to commemorate the national hero Zheng Chenggong. During the Cultural Revolution, Siming District was renamed Xiangyang District until October 1, 1979, when it was renamed back to its original name. (To be continued......)
