In Anping Town, southern Fujian, a young man wearing a beaded hat, a jade belt around his waist, and a unicorn brocade robe, with a long face, thin eyebrows and eyes, and a short beard is reading a letter. He is Zhu Chenggong, whose courtesy name is Mingyan.
The national surname given by Emperor Longwu, the loyal and filial uncle of the Ming Dynasty.
(As for the appearance of the man with the surname Guo, the author refers to the portrait of Zheng Chenggong collected in the Taiwan Museum. In the portrait, Zheng Chenggong has small eyes and a short beard. However, Philip May, a Dutchman who was once captured by Zheng Chenggong, is in his
The diary describes Zheng Chenggong like this: "His eyes are big and black, and they rarely stay still and flash constantly. He doesn't have much beard, and it grows to his chest. His voice is very stern, roaring and passionate..." The question arises.
Okay, why does Zheng Chenggong in the portrait have small eyes, but the Dutch say his eyes are big and black? It is probably because Mr. Guo surnamed him angrily when facing the Western colonists, and his small eyes widened.)

The letter was written by Zheng Chenggong’s father, the Pinglu Marquis of the Ming Dynasty. No, it was written by Zheng Zhilong, the first-class elite Qinihafan of the Qing Dynasty.
The content of the letter is very simple. He advises Zhu Chenggong to recognize the situation clearly and submit to the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible. Do not block the car with your arms and do not overestimate your own capabilities.
Father, father, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you are not loyal to the Ming Dynasty. What is the reason?
The more Zhu Chenggong read, the more sad and angry he became. He picked up his pen and wrote furiously: "Fathers have always taught their sons to be loyal, but they have never taught their sons to be loyal. Now my father doesn't listen to my son. If something unexpected happens in the future, my son will only be in a state of indifference."
There is a reason why he is so angry.
Not long ago, Zhu Yihai, the governor of Lu, was preparing to swear an oath to conquer the Qing Dynasty at Changyuan. His cousin Zheng Cai invited him to meet in Kinmen to discuss the major anti-Qing affairs. Although he has not yet made up his mind on whether to support King Lu,
The goals of the anti-Qing movement are the same.
Zhu Chenggong happily went to Kinmen.
When I came to Kinmen, I saw a huge crowd of people. There were too many righteous people who fought against the Qing Dynasty, including high-ranking officials and dignitaries from the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people, and even bandits. These people were closely united around Lu Jianguo and vowed to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
Expel the Tartars and restore China.
Zhu Chenggong was both happy and ashamed. What he was happy about was that people cared about the Han people, and with so many loyal ministers and righteous people, the Ming Dynasty would not fall; what he was ashamed of was that his father had failed the Ming Dynasty, and his father had put the Tartars into Fujian, killing the late Emperor Longwu and the Ming Dynasty.
Countless Fujian people are guilty!
"Let me clean up my father's sins," Zhu Chenggong thought.
Zhu Chenggong decided to fight against the Qing Dynasty together with Lu Jianguo, but he did not use the name of Lu Jianguo, but the title of Zhongxiao Bo and the country name given to him by Emperor Longwu.
In the 20th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty and the second year of Lu Jianguo's reign, in January, Zhu Chenggong swore an oath to fight against the Qing Dynasty in the name of "loyalty and filial piety to recruit the generals and sinners of the country" in Xiaojinmen (Lieyu Township, Kinmen County), and officially joined the Qing Dynasty.
The magnificent struggle of the Fujian people against the Qing Dynasty.
The word "guilty minister" reflects the guilt and shame caused by his father's surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
After discussing the anti-Qing plan with Lu Jianguo, Zheng Cai and others, Zhu Chenggong happily led his army back to his base camp, Anping Town, Quanzhou Prefecture.
When I went back, I saw that misfortune fell from the sky, my home was robbed, and my mother was killed by the Qing army.
Boluo, the Qingpingnan general, saw that Zheng Chenggong was still unwilling to submit, so he sent Gushan Ezhen Han Dai to Anping Town to put pressure on Zheng Chenggong.
Since we are exerting pressure, we naturally have to kill some, burn some, and rob some.
Zheng Chenggong led his troops to Kinmen, and there were not many Anping garrison troops. Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Peng and others were afraid of the power of the Eight Banners and did not dare to fight, so they fled in panic.
Han Dai arrived at the door of Zheng Chenggong's house. Zheng Chenggong's biological mother, the Weng family (named Tagawamatsu in Japan. The Weng family was originally a master craftsman in Quanzhou, Fujian, and was good at making swords. After moving to Japan, they changed their surname to Tagawa) holding a Japanese sword and guarding the family. With the sword
He stabbed the Qing army and was stabbed in the abdomen by the Qing army.
It's pity that there are so many big men in Lao Zheng's family. When the robbers come, they don't behave as well as a woman.
Bending the bow and fighting to become a man,
I once had a dream with Huamei.
How many times have I thought about returning the wine?
Congratulations to Concubine Ming on the cloud pile.
"Mother!"
After taking care of his mother's funeral, Zhu Chenggong was so distraught that he cast a seated statue of his mother in gold, decorated it with jewelry, and offered it to her day and night.
After worshiping my mother, I worship Confucius again.
"Take all the clothes and scarf and burn them in the Nan'an Confucian Temple. He looks up to the sky and sighs, saying: 'I used to be a child, but now I am a lonely minister. I would like to thank you for your Confucian clothes, but I am a great teacher!'" Then he worshiped and left. He said to Chen Hui and others.
More than 90 people gathered in Nan'ao and gained thousands of people."

Mr. Zhu Chenggong, whose surname is Guo, is a chronic man.
Zhu Yihai, the Supervisor of Lu, worked vigorously and resolutely. In January, he swore an oath to fight against the Qing Dynasty in Changyuan, and immediately sent his subordinates to attack various places. Quick! As fast as an arrow leaving the string, in the blink of an eye, Fujian and Zhejiang were turned upside down. Because he moved quickly, he succeeded
The first enemy of the Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Chenggong was very slow. In January, he swore to fight against the Qing Dynasty. For seven months, he made no major moves.
In these seven months, he has only done one thing: training.
It's too slow, so slow that even my subordinates can't stand it.
"The surname of the country is that the people of Fuzhou Prefecture have rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. When will we fight the Tatars?"
"Don't worry, let's train our troops first."
"Master, the people of Jianning Prefecture have rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. When will we fight the Tatars?"
"Don't worry, let's train our troops first."
"The surname of the country is that the people of Xinghua Prefecture have rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. When will we fight the Tatars?"
"Don't worry, let's train our troops first."
"The surname of the country is Mr.??"
"Not in a hurry??"
This trick is very useful.
First, they successfully confused the officials of the Qing Dynasty. They believed that Lu Jianguo was their biggest enemy and that Zhu Chenggong was a worthy candidate. They kept asking Zheng Zhilong to write letters in an attempt to induce Zhu Chenggong to surrender. Zhu Chenggong also kept trying to make excuses.
, accumulate strength and prepare for battle.
The second is to have enough time to build a well-equipped and well-trained army.
He patiently recharged his energy and trained his soldiers, just like a beast in the jungle, quietly staring at his prey, waiting for the moment to take action.
In August, Zhu Chenggong finally took action.
In the name of his uncle, Deputy General Zheng Hongkui, Duke of Ding, he appointed Hong Zheng and Zhen Hui as the left and right vanguards; Yang Cai and Zhang Jin as the Qin Ding Town; Guo Tai and Yu Kuan as the left and right towns; and Lin Xishan as the Lou Chuan Town. He attacked Quanzhou Haicheng. ,Zhazu Mountain Top.
The first battle was not fought well.
A few days later, reinforcements from the Qing army arrived. Hong Zheng was a target, and he and the supervisor Yang Qihuang died, so they withdrew.
The creation of a strong army requires not only training, but also actual combat.
It doesn’t matter if you lose, let’s fight again.
He reunited with his uncle Zheng Hongkui, attacked Quanzhou again, and formed a camp at Taohua Mountain.
The second battle was fought beautifully.
The Qing admiral Zhao Guozuo led hundreds of cavalry to charge into the camp, and Zhang Jin and Yang Cai fought against him. Zheng Hongkui sent Lin Shun and others to attack from both sides, and defeated Zhao Guozuo.
Don't send sailors to destroy the Liushi Artillery City and kill General Xie Yinglong, which greatly boosted the military's power.
Zhao Guozuo, the governor of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, was a ruthless man who used iron-blooded means to defend Quanzhou. The son of Quanzhou gentry Guo Bichang wanted to serve as Zhu Chenggong's internal correspondent, so Zhao Guozuo killed him and destroyed his family. He also killed Huang Jingfang, the former prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and others. Zhao Guozuo was cruel and cruel, but the people of Quanzhou did not dare to do so. Breathe.
In September, Wang Jin, the deputy general of Zhangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, led his troops to help. They were attacked from inside and outside, and Zhu Chenggong was defeated. On the 28th, he withdrew his troops and sailed into the sea, returning to his hometown of Anping.
After returning to Anping, Zhu Chenggong continued to play the same old tricks. While playing Tai Chi with the Qing Dynasty, he recruited troops to expand his power.
Civil officials such as Lu Ruoteng, the former governor of Zhejiang Province in the Ming Dynasty, Ye Yiyun, a Jinshi, Chen Ding, etc. came here because of their fame; military generals such as Hong Xu and Gan Hui came to join him one after another.
Zhu Chenggong carefully reorganized the army, established extremely strict military organization and discipline, and slowly became a true commander-in-chief and the great enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
In the 20th and 21st years of Chongzhen's reign in the Ming Dynasty, during these two years, the power of Guo Xingye was very small, like a sapling. The Qing Dynasty's biggest enemy in Fujian was Zhu Yihai, the Supervisor of Lu.
One day, the sapling will grow into a big tree.
