<h1>A large part of the reason why Zheng Chenggong, the grandfather of the country, died young and went away with hatred at the age of thirty-nine was that he was angry with his son Zheng Jing. </h1>

Don't look at Zheng Jing later when he was in Taiwan, he did a good job with the assistance of Chen Yonghua, and won a lot of good reputation in later generations in terms of trade and running schools and public security management, but this did not prevent him from being unreliable when he was young, and contrary to his name "Zheng Jing", his personal emotional life was very "improper".
As the eldest son of Zheng Chenggong, Zheng Jing was once pinned on by his father, in 1661, when Zheng Chenggong led an army to attack Taiwan, he left Zheng Jing in the mainland base area of Xiamen, letting him guard this old territory, Zheng Jing also withstood the test, but far away from the strait, in terms of personal life, Zheng Jing was separated from his father's supervision, a little out of tune.
Zheng Jing had already married a tang girl with a proper wife, who was the granddaughter of Tang Xianyue, a former soldier of the Southern Ming Dynasty, from a famous family, but the family flowers were not as fragrant as wild flowers, Zheng Jing did not deal with the new bride Tang's feelings, liked to dip flowers and grass, and it didn't matter who he was, but he was partial to his fourth brother's nursing mother Chen Shi (also known as Zhao Niang), and the news later reached Zheng Chenggong's ears.

Zheng Chenggong legislated and enforced the law more strictly, regardless of whether he was related to each other, he was punished for the crime, and all adulterers, women's sinking seas, men's chaotic staffs were beaten to death, he was very annoyed after hearing about his son's affairs, but the battle to recover Taiwan had not yet waited for the final surrender letter, and he had no energy to implement the family law, so he had to convey instructions to Zheng Jing to sink Zhao Niang into the sea!
Zheng Jing pretended to obey, did not obey his father's instructions, and hid Zhao Niang instead.
Tang's wife, because Zheng Jing was always ignoring herself, couldn't help but cry with the family, just at this moment, this Zhao niang even gave birth to Zheng Jing, Zheng Jing also knew that it was humiliating, and said that it was born of his own concubine, Tang Xianyue heard his granddaughter crying, and wrote a letter to Zheng Chenggong to accuse: "You don't govern the family correctly, what country do you rule?"
<h1>Zheng Chenggong was furious and sent the generals Zheng Tai and Hong Xu to cross the sea on a mission - to kill his wife Dong Shi (Zheng Jing's biological mother), son Zheng Jing, "wild seed" Zheng Kezang and Zhao Niang. </h1>
Zheng Tai and Hong Xu felt very embarrassed, and could not do anything at all, so they suggested to Zheng Chenggong to kill only the latter two, and let Dong Shi and Zheng Jing go, Zheng Chenggong resolutely refused to allow it, and continued to send people to carry out this order.

This order was eventually identified by the generals as a "correction" and was not carried out, and Zheng Chenggong was very angry.
Zheng Chenggong's mood is very bad, although Taiwan has been calmed, but the bad news is one after another.
First of all, his father Zheng Zhilong was executed in Beijing, although there was obvious discord between the father and son's political stance, but it was his own father after all, and the ancestral grave was dug up, how not to be painful.
The unfilial son Zheng Jing made the ugly thing of hooking up with the nursing mother, which has spread around, not only that, the generals he sent to carry out the task also refused to carry it out, which made Zheng Chenggong feel the chill of rebellion and separation.
Zheng Jing
The news of the execution of the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty came from the southwest again, the death of the Yongli Emperor meant the complete collapse of the Southern Ming Imperial Family, zheng chenggong Yanping County King was sealed by the Yongli Emperor, and now that the skin does not exist, Mao will be attached? Zheng's operation in the southeast for more than ten years, the Northern Expedition, and all his efforts in Taiwan have lost their orthodox legal principles. Coupled with the fact that the qing army has been at a disadvantage for many years, the size of the team is getting smaller and smaller, not only the dream of the Northern Expedition is empty, but even it is difficult to hold Xiamen.
It is difficult to say which factor was the last straw that crushed the 39-year-old grandfather Zheng Chenggong, but the last factor is more likely, Zheng Chenggong attacked his heart in a hurry, suddenly went crazy, self-destructed his face, died of illness, and shouted on his deathbed: "I have no face anymore, see the emperor underground"!
<h1>After Zheng Chenggong's death, the generals in Taiwan were ready to support Zheng Jing's younger brother Zheng Xun, who reacted quickly at this time and sent troops to Taiwan to win the Zheng civil war. </h1>
