In ancient times, in order to resist foreign aggression, there were many patriotic generals, who were forced to leave their wives and children and go to the front line, making great contributions to defending the territory of the motherland, and their merits have been passed down to this day. And the editor today is also talking about a national hero, who recovered china's important territory, but in the end he was killed by his own son, he is Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong was a famous national hero who single-handedly drove out the Dutch invaders who occupied Taiwan for 38 years and successfully recovered Taiwan. But this is inseparable from the family foundation left by his father Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong originated in Hirado, Japan, and was the first pirate active in Japan and the southeast coast in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Zheng Zhilong had his own maritime armed forces, established an official establishment in Taiwan, and also formed a certain scale of separatist regimes. The Ming government was forced to encircle and suppress Zheng Zhilong, so it recruited him and made him a governor. However, the good times did not last long, the Qing army entered the customs, and the Qing army was unable to encircle and suppress it, so in the form of zhao'an, Zheng Zhilong was tricked into beijing and put under house arrest.
The Qing army was well aware of Zheng Zhilong's strength along the Fujian coast, so they took Zheng Zhilong as a hostage and blackmailed his son Zheng Chenggong to surrender to the Qing army with his family foundation. But Zheng Chenggong refused. When the Qing army saw that the surrender could not be achieved, they brutally killed Zheng Zhilong.
However, at this time, Zheng Chenggong was surrounded and suppressed by the Qing army in Nanjing, and suffered heavy losses. However, his power in the southeast still existed, so he took Zheng Zhilong to leave 25,000 soldiers to attack Taiwan and establish a base area of his own. After 8 months of fighting, Zheng successfully used the tactics he had learned all his life to successfully drive out the Dutch and recover islands such as Taiwan and Penghu.
After Zheng successfully recovered Taiwan, he began to vigorously develop the economy and expand his naval strength, making great contributions to Taiwan's economic construction. But the good times did not last long, when he was 38 years old, he was killed by his own son Zheng Jing, what happened in the middle?
It turned out that zheng chenggong, in order to develop Taiwan's economy, spent all day eating and sleeping outside. But it also created opportunities for his son Zheng Jing and his beautiful concubine, and the two met together privately all day. But often walk by the river, where there are not wet shoes. This matter was known to Zheng Chenggong, and he ordered his credulity to arrest Zheng Jing and punish him.
But Zheng Jing was afraid, so he bought his father's credulity and secretly ran away. People were not caught, and their own people were bribed. It was really difficult to put down his face, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally he was angry and attacked, and he died soon after. It is a pity that the national hero who just turned 38 years old was killed by his own son!
After Zheng Jing became the king of Yanping, he indulged in wine every day, and within a few decades, he destroyed the family business laid down by his father. What do you think about that?
