Yu Zhigao

The word Kemai, the son of Yu Dayou.

In the thirty-seventh year of Ming Wanli (1609), in the martial arts, because of his father's meritorious service, he commanded the army, Haitan (now Pingtan), and then tired officers to the general army of Fujian.

The Dutch colonists invaded and occupied Penghu

In 1603, the Dutch colonists sent warships to invade the Penghu Islands for the first time, and in 1604, they were expelled by the Ming army.

Qing Guangxu's "Penghu Hall Chronicles, Volume 11" contains:

"In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), there were Haicheng people Li Jin and profiteers Pan Xiu and Guo Zhen who lived in Waiyi for a long time, and said to their chiefs: 'If you want to pass through the city, there is no one like Zhangzhou. There is Penghu Island in Zhangnan, go to Haiyuan, and it is not difficult to become a tribute city. The chief said, "If the ruler of the land is guarded?" he said: "The tax collector is very greedy for money, and if he bribes him generously, Peter will be negligent and the matter will be harmonious." The chief said, "Good." "Jin Nai is the transfer of the national book, and it is beautiful and shocking. The guard Tao Gong was shocked, and he was in prison, and he was shocked.

At the beginning, Xiu and the chieftain, if there is a proposal, should send a boat to hear about it, but the chief can not wait, in July of the third year (1603), that is, he drove a large ship to Penghu. When the flood soldiers had withdrawn, they landed on the logging and building houses for a long time.

(Wanli Thirty two years, 1604) will be the general army of the government, so that the capital of Shen Yourong will send the soldiers. There is tolerance for courage and wisdom, and there is loud argumentation; The chieftain said, 'I have never heard of this. 'Shi Fu is strictly forbidden to rape the people, and the chief is gone. ”

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli (1609), the Netherlands invaded Penghu again. Lian Heng's "General History of Taiwan, Volume 13, Armament Chronicles" contains: "In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli (1609), the Dutch broke into Penghu, and the heirs were chased by the general soldier Yu Zhigao. ”

In June (July of the Gregorian calendar) in the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), the Dutch colonists again sent the commander of the expeditionary fleet (Admiral) Cornelis Reyersen, or translated as "Reyersen", to lead 8 warships (17 ships) with 2,000 troops, to land from Hongmucheng near Magong (now Magong), invade the Penghu Islands, plunder more than 600 fishing boats, and enslave 1,500 local residents, and build 4 castles and many forts. More than 1,200 people were tortured to death, and the remaining ones who survived were transported to Java, Indonesia, to be sold into slavery.

Qing Guangxu's "Penghu Hall Chronicles, Volume 11" contains: "In the second year of the Apocalypse, the foreign invaders were based in Penghu. "At the end of Wanli, the Waiyi re-entered Beigang (belonging to Taiwan Island); in the second year of the Apocalypse, they left Penghu and built a city to defend it; they also berthed at the end of the ship, and haunted Huyu and Dongdian; and Li Dan reinstated the help of the Haikou, and martial law was imposed on the seashore. ”

Another historical material says: "In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Netherlands took Penghu and built a city to defend it, intending to seek mutual markets. The land guards were afraid of disaster, and said that if they destroyed the city and migrated far away, they would allow each other to exchange markets. The red hair came from it, destroyed its city, and moved the boat. Governor Shang Zhou Zuo migrated to the news in accordance with the instructions, but he was also free from Taiwan. The mutual market has not been completed, the red hair resentment, the city was rebuilt, more than 600 fishing boats were plundered, and the Chinese people transported earth and stones to help build. Looking for Xiamen, the officials and soldiers took it and captured and beheaded several people, which was a trick to ask for money. Then it is allowed to destroy the city and migrate far away, and build it as before. It has been parked in the tail of the wind cabinet again, and it haunts Huyu, Baikeng, Dongchu, Putou, Gulei, Hongyu, Shazhou, and Jiazhou. And Haikou Li Dan replied to help. Marina County is under martial law. ”

Lian Heng's "General History of Taiwan, Volume 13, Armament Chronicles" contains: "In the second year of the Apocalypse, (the Netherlands) returned, and the garrison was scattered. In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Dutch general Gao Wenlu rode into Penghu with more than ten boats. Because the mountain is the city, the sea is the pool, the waves are driven for a long time, and the poisonous Zhangzhang and the spring are wanton. ”

After the Dutch colonists occupied Penghu, they constantly threatened to exchange trade with Fujian, and on the other hand, they colluded with pirates to harass the areas around Xiamen and Haicheng.

Zhou Zuo, the governor of Fujian, repeatedly told Raelsheng that the Dutch withdraw from Penghu and move to Taiwan to exchange trade. According to a letter sent by Batavia to the Board of Directors on February 23, 1923 (the third year of the Apocalypse) in the archives of the British East India Company: "The Chinese envoys proposed to the Dutch that if the Dutch wished to abandon the Penghu Islands and move to Taiwan, they would be allowed to trade. The envoy also proposed to us that if we wish to go to Taiwan, we can do the same. But because the Dutch had already laid a foundation in Penghu, Raelsen relied on strong force and refused to back down.

The ministry agreed to send troops

In the third year of the Apocalypse (1624), Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, sent an envoy to the city of Batavia, Java, Nanyang, to argue with the Dutch East India Company. The Dutch went so far as to spat out wild words, threatening that they had gathered a large number of warships in the Penghu Islands, and if the Chinese court did not allow them to be stationed on the islands, they would meet each other.

Nan Juyi personally inspected the sea area, and sent Yu Zhigao, garrison Wang Mengxiong and others to lead the army to defeat the invading Dutch pirate ships in the waters of Tongshan (now Dongshan, Fujian) and Gulangyu Island in Xiamen, and captured alive 70 people, including Danna and Niu Wenlailu. And on September 5, the third year of the Apocalypse (1623), the "sea ban" was implemented.

Seeing that the Dutch "building the city of Penghu is a long-term plan", the governor of Fujian, Nan Juyi, knew that it was necessary to expel it by force, so his attitude changed to tough, and after summoning the Fujian general Yu Shigao to discuss, he decided to use force to resist.

Qing Guangxu's "Penghu Hall Chronicles, Volume 11" contains: "In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), the governor Nan Juyi said: 'Five ships have returned, and eleven ships have been combined with Fengkui boats, and their momentum is getting hotter, claiming that the country has gathered a large number of warships, and they have gathered in Penghu to seek mutual markets. If you don't see it, you will go to the army. For today's sake, it is necessary to use troops'; The ministry will follow it. ”

There is also information: "First of all, Ju Yi said: 'Since the entry of the minister, five ships have returned, and there is one of ten ships with the wind cabinet boat, and its momentum has become more and more intense. There is a small colonel Chen Shiying, sent to the bite bar to announce its king, to the triangle island, met the red hairy boat, said that the king of the bite bar has gone to the Anan country, because with Shiying to the big mud to tell its king. Wang Yan: The lord of the country has gathered a large number of warships and discussed going to Penghu to seek mutual markets; if he does not see it, he will go to form troops. Gaianan is the country of Hongmaofan, and it must not be theorized if it bites and conspires with it. For today's sake, it is necessary to use soldiers. 'Because of the strategy of raising the soldiers' salaries, the ministry will follow it. ”

Pledge to cross the sea and attack

On the second day of the first month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624) (February 8 of the Gregorian calendar), Nan Juyi personally floated to Kinmen and ordered to cross the sea to attack Penghu.

The commander-in-chief Yu Zhigao and the garrison Wang Mengxiong commanded more than 40 warships and 2,000 soldiers, and approached Penghu with lightning speed, passing through Jibei Island in the north of the archipelago, and took the port of Penghu in one fell swoop, fighting while building the city. The Dutch army was suddenly attacked and retreated from Magongyu to the southwestern Fengkou Weiyu in an attempt to defend it.

Ming "Xizong Record" contains: "On the second day of the first month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Ji Bei broke into the town of the harbor, and attacked and built, and built a stone city as a camp. Repeatedly attacked, each with its own gains, and retreated to defend the wind cabinet city. ”

Qing Guangxu's "Penghu Hall Chronicles, Volume 11" also contains: "In the first month of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the generals were sent to the town and harbor first, and then built and fought. The Fan people retreated to the city of Fengkui. ”

The wind cabinet tail island is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the land is connected with the first line of the island of Yingshangyu, and the Dutch army dug ditches and ships in this island to defend strictly. After Yu Zhigao captured Magongyu, he continued to attack Fengjie Weiyu. However, the Dutch fort at the tail of the wind cabinet was as strong as iron and could not be attacked for a long time.

The second increase in troops

Yu Zhigao suggested to Nanjuyi that the Ming army should attack the Dutch ships with another army to gain sea superiority before the army could land. Nanju Yi saw that the military strength of the Ming Dynasty was inferior to that of the Dutch, and he pinned the heavy responsibility of defeating the Dutch on Zheng Zhilong, so he recruited Zheng Zhilong and others, awarded him an official position, and ordered him to control the Dutch ship.

Nan Juyi asked for reinforcements and went to the sea to supervise the division. Attacking the enemy ships first, they surrounded the Dutch giant ships with warships, fireships, sampans, etc., and the Dutch ships were sunk and damaged, and fled to the tail of the wind cabinet, cowering in the battery, and resisting stubbornly. As soon as the Ming ships approached Baisha Bay, the Dutch warships launched artillery bombardment, and if they left, the Dutch ships would not pursue, and Yu Zhigao had nothing to do.

"Ming Xizong Record" contains: "In the same month, the Southern Yuan sent a second plan to respond to the Zhou Division, and commissioned Gu Sizhong and other commanders to Penghu Zhenhai to meet Qi. ”

The third increase in troops

By May, Penghu had not yet been captured, and the Dutch were still holding out. The Ming army had to send a second reinforcement of more than 100 warships to 10,000 troops, forming an encirclement of the Dutch invading army, preparing to capture Penghu in one fell swoop.

"Ming Xizong Record" contains: "The Southern Army Gate was worried about the lack of wealth of the old master, and in April, he patrolled the sea two roads, experienced the sea, and met with the two provinces of Zhang and Quan, and supervised the third time to receive the boat division. Sun Guozhen, the governor of the water mark, Liu Guerrilla, and Peng Hu drove the general Hong Jiyuan and Hong Yingdou to the front of the mother's palace on May 28 to ......"

deadlocked

At that time, the maritime pirate gangs that were trading privately with the Dutch were eager to support the Dutch, and they were gathering in the waters of Penghu. Yu Zhigao once reported to Nan Juyi on this matter: "Today, the Japanese are in peace, the traitors and thieves are attached, I am alone, the guest and the host are reversed, the interests are judged by Si Su, and the victory or defeat is very difficult." It's urgent!"

On June 15 (July 29 of the Gregorian calendar), after receiving the support of the newly arrived firecracker troops, Yu Zhigao led his army to launch a general attack again, and fought all the way to the Hongmao City of Fengkouzi, bombarded the castle with cannons, and cut off the water source in the city, and then became a stalemate again

Negotiate peace

In the summer, the Dutch Admiral Raersen resigned, and Martinus Sonck succeeded him as commander of the Dutch fleet.

On August 3 of the Gregorian calendar, Song Ke arrived in Penghu and found that the situation was very serious. According to the Batavia Diary (translated by Naojiro Murakami and edited by Takashi Nakamura, Tokyo Heidansha, 1974), written by the Dutch at the time, Song Ke reported: "There were about 4,000 Chinese troops and 150 warships stationed on Baisha Island, and the number of troops gradually increased until the middle of the month, when it increased to 10,000, entering and leaving Penghu Island. Although the Dutch destroyed Taiwowan (present-day Anping, Taiwan) and transferred back their garrisons, there were only 850 whites, including 11 young soldiers, and many sick soldiers, so it was difficult to fight. ”

At that time, the Ming army's determination to persist in fighting had enabled Song Ke to have a deeper understanding of the situation, and the Ming army had a 10:1 manpower advantage! According to the "Batavia Diary," Song Ke admitted: "Chinese not only has 10,000 men and 200 junk ships, including warships, sunken ships, and fireships, but also China has an incredible number of preparations for our side, such as junk ships and soldiers, and the Gai war was carried out by special order of the Chinese king...... If we refuse to leave, they will resort to force until we are expelled from Penghu Island outside China." Therefore, Song Ke believed that the Dutch side had not sent reinforcements, and that there was no hope for his troops to continue fighting, and that a negotiated settlement of the conflict was necessary.

At that time, the Ming government was facing the threat of a great peasant uprising and the growing power of the Manchus in the northeast, and was unable to take care of Taiwan's defense, and after eight months of fierce war, the Ming Dynasty had already spent more than 177,000 taels on military expenditure, causing financial difficulties, and the Netherlands was also facing the dilemma of being isolated and helpless.

On the second day of the seventh month (August 15 of the Gregorian calendar), under the mediation of the Chinese maritime merchant Li Dan, Song Kenai held peace talks with Yu Zhigao, the commander of the Ming army (general army).

The Diary of Batavia City records that the conditions for the Dutch withdrawal at that time were: (1) the Dutch withdrawal from Penghu Island, (2) the Ming Dynasty had no objection to the Dutch occupation of Taiwan, and (3) the guarantee of Dutch trade with China.

Although the Chinese literature only mentions that the withdrawal of the Dutch troops was the result of the Nanju Yili War, and that the Dutch army "ran out of food and exhausted their plans, began to repent of begging and surrendered, demolished the city and fled at night", and "Penghu Xindi still returned to the territory", but also left traces of tacit approval of the Dutch army's occupation of Taiwan. Gu Zuyu [Reading the History of Fang Yuji, Volume 99] mentioned: "The general soldier Yu Zhigao used the intermittent transfer of Hongyi to Beigang (Taiwan's place name) to regain Penghu. It shows that the two sides agreed that if the Netherlands gave up Penghu, the Ming Dynasty would not object to its occupation of Taiwan.

This move reflects the lack of awareness of the Ming people's sovereignty over Taiwan. In the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu implemented a sea ban, abolished the Penghu Inspection Division, and forced Penghu residents to move to the mainland, greatly reducing the chance of contacting Taiwan. The record of He Kaishu's "Aftermath of the Spring and Ming Dynasty" in the Ming Dynasty reflects the concept of ordinary Ming officials: "Taiwan is outside Penghu Island, and the waterway is about two days and nights away from Zhanghu and Quan? Therefore, the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty thought that since Taiwan was not part of the territory, it did not matter if it was occupied by the Dutch first.

Judging from the available historical data, agreeing to the occupation of Taiwan by the Dutch was only a private commitment by Yu Zhigao and other local officials, and was not reported to the imperial court for approval.

The Batavia City Diary records that soon after the occupation of Taiwan, the Dutch clashed with the Japanese because they objected to the payment of customs duties to him. In the dispute, the Dutch pointed out that "the land of Taiwan does not belong to the Japanese, but to the Emperor of China, who has given the land to the East India Company as a condition for our withdrawal from Penghu", and now that the East India Company has become the owner, the Japanese should pay taxes to them. From these words, it can be seen that at that time the Dutch recognized Taiwan as Chinese territory, but it was not true that they said that the Chinese emperor had given them land. Because it was a private promise by Yu Zhigao and other local officials, it was not reported to the imperial court for approval. Therefore, the "Batavia City Diary" also pointed out: "The Chinese have been allowed to go to Taiwan (referring to Anping) to trade with us, but the court has not publicly permitted it, and the military gate, the governor, and the senior officials have tacitly approved it." ”。 It can also be seen from the diary that at that time, only the Anping Port in Tainan was promised, but not the whole of Taiwan.

The Dutch evacuated Penghu

On the third day of the seventh month (August 16 of the Gregorian calendar), the Ming army sent troops, and Nanju Yi ordered Xie Longyi, Yu Zhigao, and Wang Mengxiong to advance in three ways, directly approaching Yicheng, and the Dutch had to agree to evacuate.

"Ming Shilu Fujian Sea Relations Historical Materials" stated: "On the third day of the first month, our soldiers (Ming army) approached Yicheng (Ma Gong), and changed the division of troops ......to advance in three ways; He did not do anything evil; he slowly entered the division, allowed grain and rice to be transported on the ship, and then demolished the city and returned to the city. Sun Haidao (Sun Guozhen) is afraid of an urgent attack, and he will fight to the death, so it is better to reply to the letter first and then exhaust the net to be stable, and let it go. ”

On July 13 (August 26 in the Gregorian calendar), the Dutch began to demolish the city, transferring building materials, rice, weapons and other belongings to the "Dayuan" (called Tayouan by the Dutch, "Taiwowan", present-day Anping, Taiwan), and landed with the first governor in Taiwan, Matti Sunke, from Luermen (present-day Anping Port, then known as Walvis Been by the Dutch) to establish a new commercial base.

"Ming Shilu Fujian Sea Relations Historical Materials" stated: "The Yiguo was dismantled on the 13th, and the rice was transported off the ship; the third floor of the East Gate Building was the residence of the old Gao Wenlu, and he still couldn't bear it. Naidu Wang Mengxiong and others went straight to the wind cabinet and demolished it. Thirteen ships fled to Dongfan (Taiwan). ”

Qing Guangxu's "Penghu Hall Chronicles, Volume 11" contains: "Juyi sent troops and ordered the general soldier Yu Zhigao to supervise the marching of all the troops. Kou was embarrassed, and the two envoys asked for reinforcements, and Rong Yunmi went as soon as he entered the boat. The generals allowed it, and then set sail. Duqu Shuai Gao Wenlu (or translated as "Ge Wenjin") 12 people defended themselves according to the high-rise building, and the generals tried their best to break it and sacrifice it to the court. The police of Penghu are resting. ”

Since then, the Netherlands withdrew from Penghu and moved into Taiwan, and began to stay in southern Taiwan for 38 years, completely changing Taiwan's historical destiny. "Kangxi Records of Taiwan" discussed: "The Dutch Hongmaoyi sought Xiangshan and Penghu in China, but could not, but used heavy coins to seek a mutual market in Taiwan. ”

In this battle, the Ming army increased its troops three times, and the battle dragged on for eight months, but it was 10 times the enemy's strength but was never able to capture the Dutch fortress, and finally forced the Dutch back with siege tactics. There were almost no deeds of naval confrontation in this campaign, and the Ming army used its strengths and avoided weaknesses to decide the outcome of the battle with its superior army, and did a good job in war strategy, and finally recovered Penghu. However, due to the corruption of the DPRK government, the situation of lax armaments has been revealed a lot.

Divide troops to defend Penghu

Lian Heng's "General History of Taiwan, Volume 13, Armament Chronicles" contains:

"The general soldier Yu Zhigao chased it, it was to restore Penghu, build the city of Dark Ao, there are seven high zhangs, eight thick zhangs, open one door in the east, west and south, set up a fort in the north, cover Yayu inside, build barracks, dig wells and garrison troops, in order to control the Ma Palace. The left side of the Ma Palace is the wind cabinet mountain, which is seven or eight feet high. The Dutch dug into it, and the soil was like a pheasant, and it was destroyed.

Divide the army into a garrison, and the case mountain, the west of the horns, the east for the shangao, the pig mother into the water. When the south rushes, the old boat division is strong, and the city is also built to prevent horizontal protrusion. The west is the West Island, the north is the North Mountain Pier, and the north is Taiwu, the slightly inferior is the red embedded, follow the port and enter the town harbor, base the city among them, to choke the sea road.

The same goes for its defense. ”

Defeat the thieves with razing

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625), there were Haikou "pseudo-using the name of Kuanhe year, marshal, general and other banners, claiming to be the first post of Hongyi, and even attacked. ”

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), there was a "Haikoulin Seven Elders" on the sea surface of Zhejiang Province who entangled Hongyi, pretended to be the king, sailed the sea, and killed the enemy with royal goods. ”

In November of the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), the Haikou in the coastal area of Fujian and Guangzhou recruited gangsters and called the king the country, among which Yang Liu, Cai San, Zhong Liu and so on were the most powerful. Fujian and Guangdong navies attacked from north to south, so Cai San went to Japan, Zhong Liu went to the east, and Yang Liu led more than 3,000 people and 72 large and small warships to surrender to Yu Zhigao, the general soldier of Fujian, willing to beg the thief for self-efficacy.

During the Apocalypse, after the Zheng Zhilong Group established a base in Taiwan, it wanted to directly have a base along the coast of the mainland to develop trade, and repeatedly attacked the Ming army along the coast of Fujian, raided the Jin and Xiamen-Ming army and naval divisions, and also erected flags in Tong'an to recruit troops, recruiting thousands of people within a few days.

In desperation, Fujian officials remembered the trick of "using razing to control thieves." Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, plotted to collude with the Dutch to "attack the thieves with raze" and eliminate Zheng Zhilong's maritime power.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), the policy of "controlling thieves with razing" presided over by Yu Zhigao, the general soldier of Fujian, began to be implemented. He promised in writing that the Dutch would be allowed to trade with China and the Emperor, and sent people to seduce them to send troops to attack Zheng Zhilong.

In October of the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627), the second Dutch governor in Taiwan, Waite, saw that the opportunity could not be missed, so he cobbled together all the ships and soldiers in Taiwan and sailed to Tongshan Island in Fujian to attack Zheng's army. Zheng Zhilong was very annoyed by the collusion of the officials and Yi, and fought back mercilessly, dispatching "fire ships" to attack the Dutch fleet. The Dutch commander Werter fled without firing a single shot, and fled back to Batavia with two warships. In the naval battle between the two sides, Zheng Zhilong burned the Dutch speedboat Owock and captured four ships including the Sicapel. This naval battle was the first time that the Dutch colonists invaded the mainland based on Taiwan, but they ended in a crushing defeat and "had to retreat."

In the same month, after Zheng Zhilong and Zhong Bin eased their hands, they quickly broke through Haicheng and entered the Zhongzuo Institute (now Xiamen) on the grounds that the general soldier Yu Zhigao was agitated. Zheng ships are very numerous, all over Zhang, Quan, consult Gao degree is not supported, Yue Cheng night escape back to the county (Quanzhou). Or said: Zhilong therefore had the intention of seeking appeasement, and wanted to reach the Ming soldiers, but he did not chase after Xianchun, and did not kill Lu guerrillas; and advanced from the old town to the Zhongzuo, and the commander Yu Zhigao was defeated and walked away. Zheng Jun burned all the ships of the Ming Jinxia Naval Division, and "the whole Fujian was shaken."

From then on, Zheng Zhilong grasped the sea control on the Fujian side of the Taiwan Strait, and the Dutch ships did not dare to approach the Fujian coast, and as soon as people and ships appeared, they would be intercepted, and the Ming Dynasty sailors retreated into the port.

was imprisoned and dismissed for Zheng Zhilong

"History of the Ming Dynasty: Biography 148: Xiong Wencan" contains: "Xiong Wencan...... In the first year of Chongzhen, he was the political envoy of Fujian Zuobu. In March, he worshiped the imperial history of the right and inspected the place. There were many thieves at sea, Yuan Jin and Li Zhong both surrendered, and Yang Liu, Yang Qi and Zheng Zhilong followed. The chief military officer, Yu Zhigao, recruited six or seven drops, and Zhilong was rampant. However, Zhilong was often defeated by Du Si Hong Xianchun, and was released and not pursued; he was defeated by a guerrilla attack and was not killed; and he was defeated and walked away. When the matter is known, it can be appeased, and an envoy is sent to surrender it. ”

Zheng Zhilong repeatedly broke through the officers and soldiers, and after occupying the Zhongzuo Institute (now Xiamen), he had become a force beyond the control of the government. At that time, all the sins were attributed to Yu Zhigao.

At the beginning, the governor Zhu Qinxiang recruited Yang Liu, Yang Qi and others, Zheng Zhilong begged to return to the mainland, Yang Liuqi and his gold were not passable, and Zheng Zhilong went to the sea.

"National Glory" contains: "In July of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Fujian General Yu Zhigao discussed Yang Lu (Yang Liu), Yang Ce (Yang Qi), etc., and they all obeyed it. Naturally, thieves are getting worse every day. ”

"Long Edition" contains: "The first month of Chongzhen's first year was ugly, when Min Kou Zheng Zhilong was rampant on the sea, and the Fujian people said a lot about Fujian Shuai Yu Zhigao. ”

"Zhangzhou Mansion Chronicles, Volume 27, Eunuch Ji 4, Ming General, Cai Yifan" contains: "Cai Yifan, a native of Quanzhou...... Chongzhen, awarded the Haicheng camp general. After three days of seeing the master, the thief entered the prison...... Aid is desperate, and he dies in battle with the power of the domain. ...... Cheng people lead the county, please set up an ancestral hall to show loyalty to the soul. The county guard Shi Bangyao said: "Sitting on the incense hall and shaping the two escapees, Yu Zhigao and Chen Wen knelt in the court. 'Things don't work out, it's about the wind and teaching, and people say it's a good talk. ”

In the first month of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Yan Jizu impeached Yu Zhigao in the matter of engineering.

Shu said: "The pirate Zheng Zhilong grew up in Quanquan (Quanzhou), gathered tens of thousands of disciples, robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and the people were not afraid of officials but thieves. The general soldier Yu Zhigao's proposal to appease is really full of thieves. The old Fu Zhu Qin listened to his acceptance of pirates Yang Liu and Yang Qi for use. After the husband cares for him, he will be scattered in his place of origin. And the sea of consultation, that is, the sea of place, is appeased today, and tomorrow is the coward. Yesterday, the changes in the left of the center, Yang Liu and Yang Qi disappeared, and the counselor began to shrink his tongue without words, so Min Shuai (Yu Zhigao) had to go. ”

He also said: "The god of money has a spirit, the iceberg is leaning on, and listening to the strong Kou ravaging the inland Tong'an and Haicheng, so Min Shuai must not go." ”

Evacuate in, catch the consultation Gao in Dali Temple.

"History of the Ming Dynasty Biography 139 Qian Longxi" contains: "Emperor Zhuang Lie (Sizong Zhu Youzhen) ascended the throne...... Haikou committed the Zhongzuo office, and the chief military officer Yu Zhigao abandoned the city and fled, and the crime should be punished. ”

In March, Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, was dismissed and replaced by Xiong Wencan.

In November of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), the Criminal Department gave Liu Silai to Zhu Yi and Feng Ming, although Zheng Zhilong had been appeased by the new governor Xiong Wencan in September of that year, he still attributed the blame to Yu Zhigao. "Saying: 'The rebellion in Fujian was caused by Yu Zhigao and was suppressed by Fu Xiu, and the old Fu Zhu Qin was really painstaking, so why is there a suspicion of coix? Zhu Yifeng was punished by the treasury on the day when his fingers were not working, and he was invited to be sick, so why did he sit on the rules of circumvention? ”
