After he became emperor, he sent his hometown people 18 cylinders of "pickles", and the villagers threw 17 cylinders and poured them out to see that they regretted it
In "Nostalgia," it is written: "Nostalgia is a shallow strait, I am here, the mainland is at that end."
Chinese have a deep obsession with the roots of fallen leaves, so many people still have deep feelings for China even if they have lived overseas for many years, no matter how successful they are, even if they become emperors!
After he became emperor, he sent his hometown people 18 cylinders of "pickles", and the villagers threw 17 cylinders, and the last cylinder was poured out to see it before regretting it!
One Chinese went to Thailand to earn a living, and his son grew up to become a prince of the party
I believe that friends who have traveled to Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, will know that in Thonburi Square, there is a "TakSr darshain Monument", and this monument commemorates the king of the Thonburi Dynasty of Thailand and the head of the five emperors of Thailand. However, do you know that Zheng Huang Daxin was originally named Zheng Xin, and his father Zheng Yong was a native of Huafu Village, Chenghai County, Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province, China! So why did his son become king of Thailand?
It turned out that Zheng Yong was forced to go to Thailand to earn a living because the Qing Dynasty's ban on the sea had cut off his way to make a living. Everyone also knows that the Chaoshan people are good at doing business, and Zheng Xin's father is no exception, he soon settled in Ayutthaya City through his own efforts, and married a wife and gave birth to Zheng Xin.
When Zheng Xin was still very young, his father died young, leaving only their orphans and widows. Because there is no pillar in the family, the life of the mother and son is not good.
Fortunately, his father made many friends before his death, and one of them, a man named Pai Ye Jiexi, adopted Zheng Xin. This beat was not an ordinary person, he was a heavy minister of the Ayutthaya Dynasty at that time! With this status, Zheng Xin received a good education and was later elected to the imperial palace as a bodyguard. Working as a bodyguard in the imperial palace was equivalent to putting gold on Zheng Xin's resume, so he was appointed as an inspector when he became an adult.
The Inspector was a special agent who went on behalf of the King to inspect the local people's situation, which was of the same nature as the Chinese Emperor's Chincha Minister. An errand like this usually gets a lot of oil and water, but Zheng Xin is not a greedy person. He was selfless in his iron face and did many good things for the people, thus gaining a very high reputation.
Later, because of his great achievements, Zheng Xin was appointed as the military and political governor of Dacheng, and he wholeheartedly assisted the old lord of Dacheng. After the death of the old city lord, the young Zheng Xin naturally took over his class and became a prince with real power!
Thailand was annexed by Burma, and eventually Zheng Xin seized the opportunity to regain the lost land and become king
However, in 1763, when burma invaded Thailand, Marsh led his troops to resist, and finally successfully repelled the Burmese army with the joint efforts of many parties. However, in 1767, the Burmese army invaded again, this time they attacked the capital in one fell swoop, declaring the end of the Ayutthaya dynasty.
After annexing Thailand, the extremely inflated Burma actually sent an army north to attack the Qing Empire at that time! This made the Qianlong Emperor furious, and he sent a large army to launch a counterattack, and burma, in order to face the pressure exerted by the Qing army, had to dispatch troops in Thailand, which also gave Zheng Xin the opportunity to recover the lost land.
Under zheng xin's efforts, he recovered the originally lost land. However, due to the fact that the original capital was in ruins, Zheng Xin moved the capital to Thonburi. Because of his ability to rectify the rivers and mountains, Zheng Xin was also elected as the new king and established the Thonburi Dynasty.
After unifying Heshan, Zheng Xin took the initiative to send envoys to Beijing to pay tribute to the Qianlong Emperor, and in 1777 he was recognized by the Qing Dynasty.
Gave the villagers 18 jars of "pickles", I did not expect that it was the "little heart" that made the gentleman's belly
Later, the news of Zheng Xin becoming emperor of Thailand also reached Chenghai in Chaozhou, and the local villagers heard that their descendants in the township had become emperors in Thailand, and they crossed the sea to Thailand to congratulate him.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the villagers to return to their hometowns. On the occasion of parting, Zheng Xin gave the villagers 18 heavy vats, and also instructed the villagers to wait until after home to open it, and the villagers also agreed with joy. However, due to the long sea voyage, the villagers were able to resist their curiosity at first, but after a few days, they still couldn't help but open the cylinder. However, when the villagers saw the contents of the tank, they did not beat it out, and it turned out that the tank was filled with pickles!
Although the villagers are not very rich, who in the homes of the common people lack pickles? Zheng Xin has become the emperor, but only sent them pickles, which made the villagers very dissatisfied, so they felt that the cylinder was too heavy, they threw 17 cylinders into the sea in one go, leaving only one mouth as a souvenir.
When they returned to their hometown, the villagers were ready to pour out the pickles and leave the jar behind, but then they found something that made them both ashamed and regretful - the bottom of the jar was full of gold and silver jewelry.
That is to say, the 17 large vats they threw away at sea were a wealth that they could not spend in their lifetimes, how could they not regret it? What makes them regret the most is that they misunderstood Zheng Xin's kindness, and it is no wonder that they are ashamed.
It turned out that this was not only a good intention of Zheng Xin, but also a painstaking heart of his, after all, there were many pirates at that time, if they blatantly gave them gold and silver jewelry, then they might be killed on the road. And if you directly tell them what this is, Zheng Xin is also worried that if they are poor for a lifetime, they will have the idea of private devouring, and this is what Zheng Xin does not want to see, so he came up with this method.
It's just a pity that the villagers did not understand Zheng Xin's bitterness at the beginning, but they were still angry with him. To this day, the descendants of the Zheng family still retain this jar, and the pickles and treasures inside have naturally been disposed of.
brief summary
This story tells us that when looking at things, we must not only look at the surface, let alone live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. After all, with Zheng Xin's wealth and status, he himself would not be embarrassed to take pickles to the villagers who came from afar, what do you think?
