Zhangzhou people but know Zhangpu people Lan Tingzhen, many unknown "Longxi nationality" Yao Tang. Both were the admirals of the Fujian Water Division of the Kangxi Dynasty, and both successively established meritorious deeds with "platforms and governance of Taiwan".
Yao Tang (?) –1723), courtesy name Ersheng, Was a Han Chinese from Shouguang County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong. During the Kangxi Dynasty, he entered Fujian three times and rose to prominence five times. At the age of 20, he guarded Gubeikou for guerrilla warfare. With his superior strength, proficiency in riding and shooting, and excellent martial arts, the chief soldier Cai Yurong praised "this general gate Thousand Mile Colt", so he was promoted to the position of general. This is the first time to ascend. Once, the Kangxi Emperor went on a tour through Gubeikou and saw that Yao Tang had an extraordinary temperament, that is, he consulted Shubian and the zhijun to conspire with him, Yao Tang was talkative, Tao Strategy was possessed, and the Kangxi Emperor praised him for his kindness. Soon, Yu Kangxi forty-five (1705) broke the rules and was promoted to deputy general of the Fuzhou Min'an Town Water Division. This is Yao Tang's first entry into Fujian and his second promotion.
In the past four years in Min'an Town, he has made good achievements in governing the army and the river. "The Northern Rue Flood is a place where merchants can be inspected, and there are many bad boats in the water; please move outside the flood, merchant Dezhi." In the forty-ninth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1710), he was again promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief of Zhejiang Prefecture. This is the third ascension. In Zhejiang, "officials are righteous in their own ranks, chongwen jiwu, and have the style of ancient ministers." "With his outstanding merits, Kangxi Fifty-first Year (1712)" In the seventeenth of October in the winter, Yao Tang, the chief military officer of Zhejiang Prefecture, was transferred to the general officer of Taiwan in Fujian, and the chief military officer of Taiwan Cui Xiangguo was made the chief military officer of Chuzhou. "It's a parity. The Taiwan Prefecture of the Qing Dynasty was subordinate to Fujian, and this time the flat transfer can be regarded as Yao Tang's second entry into Fujian. At the time of Taiwan, "the squad soldiers were arrogant and fierce" and disturbed the people. Yao Tang "moved to Taiwan, Sui Fan Man, cavalry, and forbidden flood mouth needed to be asked." "At the end, leniency and severity are combined, and Enwei is parallel, so that the soldiers will return to the army, and the people will be safe in the city." "The liturgy loves the people, the song throws the pot, there is the ancient Confucian general wind; the strict department, the time is simple, and the soldiers know the law." Rank Man, promoted to Viceroy of Guangdong. ”
After six years of ruling Taiwan and Taiwan, the traitors were screened, and the sea frontier was peaceful. According to the Qing Shilu, the emperor asked, "How about Yao Tang, the chief soldier of Taiwan?" "It is very good to be an official, and it is the strictest to restrain the soldiers." Shangyun: "Han is good at fighting, bowing and horseing, when he was doing guerrilla warfare at Gubeikou, he knew it." When he finished his term yesterday, he was going to be promoted. ”
In the fifty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1718), he was promoted to the post of Admiral of Guangdong. This was Yao Tang's fourth ascension. When leaving the platform, the people cut the stirrups to keep it and send it to the dock. But soon after he left, the anti-Qing forces in Taiwan rose up, social unrest, and finally on May 21, 1721, the sixtieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1721), Zhu Yigui rebelled, and the Qing court rushed to fujian water division admiral Shi Shibiao and the general lan Tingzhen to suppress the rebellion and put down the rebellion. On October 3, when the rain was torrential, Shi Shibiao patrolled all night, braved the rain to get sick, and unfortunately died in the army, only fifty-four years old. In the sixtieth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1721), "On October 25 (壬午), the scholar of the University of Anhui, etc.: The Fujian Admiral Shi Shibiao died of illness, and this deficiency was very important, and Yao Tang, the viceroy of Guangdong, made up for it and went to his post as soon as possible. Guangdong Admiral affairs, deputy governor of Guangzhou Feng Yi acted. ”
With the tone of "this lack is very urgent" and "go to the post quickly", it can be seen how competent the Kangxi Emperor was to Yao Tang. After three years, Yao Tang went to Fujian for the third time to perform his duties. When Yao Tang moved from Guangdong to the post of Admiral of the Fujian Marine Division, Lan Tingzhen was the commander-in-chief of Taiwan. After quelling Zhu Yigui's rebellion, the Bingbu court council moved the commander-in-chief to Penghu, and the Taiwan government only set up a land lieutenant general. Yao Tang and the commander-in-chief Lan Tingzhen deliberated, believing that "if you obey the minister's proposal, you will mistakenly seal the territory", so he wrote a letter to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Jue Luo Manbao, canceled the original proposal, and was approved, so as to stabilize the sea frontier of the town.
The following year, the Kangxi Emperor collapsed and Yongzheng ascended the throne. According to the Qing system, Ding Nai's heavy minister Jin Jing visited the new emperor. Yao Tang made a pilgrimage as usual, but unfortunately died in the Tao. According to volume 12 of the Records of Emperor Shizongxian of the Great Qing Dynasty, "On the twenty-second day of the twenty-second day of the tenth month of winter, yu: Yao Tang, the former admiral of the Fujian water division, was buried, and the governor of the capital was given to Tongzhi. "The specifications are not low, and then give a first-class "Du Dou Tongzhi", a special honor. Although it is a gift of death, it may not be counted as the fifth ascension! It was only one year after returning to Fujian, and he "returned to the Road".
Throughout his life, Yao Tang made great achievements for the military and political cause of Fujian and Taiwan. However, the Fujian Provincial Chronicle, The Prefectural Chronicle and the County Chronicle are very simple. So much so that it is still unknown where his "returning pawn" died? Where is it buried? His military membership is Longxi, and where is his admiral Yamen located? The former residence of Shi Lang and Shi Shibiao's father and son is in Quanzhou, the former residence of Lan Tingzhen and Lan Ri's pet father and son is in Zhangpu, and Yao Tang has his former residence in Xiamen, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou? Are the tombs and former residences in yaotun in their hometown of Yaotun, Fengcheng Township, Shouguang County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province? It is urgently hoped that after reading this "hook sinking", the historians of Fujian and Lu provinces will sink the historical events so that they can all be.
