The bright stars in the depths of history - Zheng Chenggong: the light of the Ming Dynasty forgotten by time
In the vast river of history, every magnificent chapter is like a bright star, which is bright or dark, but together constitute the bright starry sky of our nation. However, in this endless sea of stars, there is a star that seems to be obscured by the dust of time, and its light is forgotten by the years. This star is Zheng Chenggong, the hero of the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng Chenggong, this name may not be unfamiliar to many people, but not many people really know his life deeds. He was not only an outstanding general in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, but also a national hero who recovered Taiwan. However, his story is often drowned by the torrent of history and distorted by the imagination of later generations. Today, let's brush away the dust of time and rediscover the true face of this forgotten hero.
Zheng Chenggong was born into a family of eunuchs and received a good education from an early age. However, the era in which he lived was the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a period of ups and downs, internal and external troubles. In the face of the decline of the country and the crisis of the nation, Zheng Chenggong did not choose to escape or sink, but was determined to revive the glory of his family and be loyal to the country. He followed his father Zheng Zhilong to fight in the north and south, and after hardships, he gradually grew into an outstanding general.
In the great changes of the Qing army's entry into the customs and the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong firmly stood on the side of the Ming Dynasty and continued to resist the Qing army. With his extraordinary courage and wisdom, he defeated the Qing army's sailors many times and reserved a pure land for the Ming Dynasty. However, as the power of the Qing army continued to expand, Zheng Chenggong's situation became more and more difficult. But he did not give up, but actively looked for a new way out.
For Zheng Chenggong, the recovery of Taiwan is not only a military operation, but also a defense of national dignity and faith. He is well aware that Taiwan, as China's sacred territory, must not fall into the hands of foreign races for a long time. Therefore, he made up his mind to expel the Dutch colonists and return Taiwan to the embrace of the motherland.
In order to recover Taiwan, Zheng Chenggong made careful planning and preparations. He actively trained soldiers to improve their combat effectiveness, and at the same time, he also established contacts with the local people in Taiwan and received their support and help. After everything was ready, Zheng Chenggong led the army on a journey to recover Taiwan.
The battle was extremely fierce, but Zheng Chenggong won the battle with his excellent command skills and the heroic fighting of the soldiers. Taiwan has returned to the embrace of the motherland, and Zheng Chenggong has become a national hero.
However, recovering Taiwan was only part of Zheng Chenggong's career. He has also demonstrated outstanding political wisdom and leadership in Taiwan's governance. At the same time, he also paid attention to safeguarding national unity and national dignity, so that the people of Taiwan could feel the warmth and care of the motherland.
However, despite the brilliant achievements of Zheng Chenggong's career, his life is full of ups and downs and regrets. Under the consolidation of Qing rule and internal strife within the Zheng family, his career gradually declined. Eventually, he died in Taiwan at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. The death of this hero has made countless people feel regret and grief.
Zheng Chenggong's life is full of legends and far-reaching influences. He was not only an outstanding general in the last years of the Ming Dynasty and a national hero who recovered Taiwan, but also a great man with firm beliefs and outstanding talents. His deeds and spirit will always inspire us to move forward.
However, such a heroic figure is often overlooked or misunderstood in later historical records. Many people only know that he is a national hero who recovered Taiwan, but they do not know the various hardships and perseverance he experienced in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of forgetting and misunderstanding is not only an unfair treatment of Zheng Chenggong himself, but also a lack of our national memory.
Therefore, we should revisit this forgotten history and reacquaint ourselves with this neglected hero. By understanding his life deeds and spiritual outlook, we can better understand the changes of that era and the inheritance of the national spirit. At the same time, we should also remember those who have worked hard for the country and the nation, and their deeds and spirit will always inspire us to move forward.
Zheng Chenggong's success is not accidental, but behind him is a strong belief, outstanding talent and unremitting efforts. He spent his whole life fighting for the interests of the country and the nation, and this spirit is worth learning and inheriting from each and every one of us.
In today's era of peace, we may not be able to personally go to the battlefield to fight for the country like Zheng Chenggong, but we can internalize his spirit in our hearts and externalize it in our actions. Whether in work, study or life, we should uphold firm beliefs and have the courage to face challenges and difficulties, and at the same time, we should also actively improve our ability and quality, and contribute our own strength to the development of the country and the nation.
In addition, Zheng Chenggong's deeds also tell us that national unity and cooperation are the key to overcoming all difficulties. In the face of aggression and oppression by foreign enemies, only by uniting as one and resisting together can we achieve ultimate victory. Therefore, we should cherish national unity and national dignity, strive to promote exchanges and integration among all ethnic groups, and jointly promote the prosperity and development of the country.
In short, Zheng Chenggong is a light of the Ming Dynasty forgotten by time. His life deeds and spiritual outlook are not only an important window for us to understand history and the nation, but also an important source for us to learn and inherit precious spiritual wealth. At the same time, we should also remember those who have worked hard for the country and the nation, and their deeds and spirit will always inspire us to move forward and continue to strive on the road of national rejuvenation.
In the days to come, let us take Zheng Chenggong as an example, pass on his spirit, and contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
