The story of Zheng Chenggong

Zheng Chenggong is a famous national hero at home and abroad. He lived in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties more than 300 years ago. He led the people of China to defeat the Kulan people who occupied Baodao Island in Taiwan Province Province, China, and made Taiwan Province Province more beautiful and rich.

Zheng Chenggong is from China, but he was born in Japan. What's going on here? It turned out that his father was very poor and went to Japan from China to support his family. Then I got married in Japan and gave birth to Zheng Chenggong. There are several legends about Zheng Chenggong's birth. One story is that Zheng Chenggong's mother was pregnant with a small success, and one day she fell asleep at the bedside. When she was asleep, she suddenly dreamed that she was standing by the sea. She is happy to look at the sea. She caught a small fish and then picked up a shell, not to mention how happy she was. At this moment, I suddenly saw a big fish swimming towards her. Zheng's mother was anxious to dodge, but the fish plunged into her stomach.

Zheng's mother suddenly woke up from her sleep, and it was not bright outside the window. At this time, Zheng Chenggong, who was sleeping in his mother's stomach, suddenly moved. Is he awake?

There is also a saying that Zheng's mother went to the seaside to play and picked up many shells. The sky is so blue and the sea is so blue. Mother Zheng is very happy. She wore a string of shells and made a beautiful shell necklace to hang around the neck of Zheng Chenggong, who was born later. Zheng's mother thought of many people around and said, "Your shell necklace is really beautiful. Who gave it to you? " At this time, she thought Zheng Chenggong would proudly say, "My mother made this for me herself.

Zheng's mother fell asleep thinking about it, but soon Zheng's mother was awakened by the pain. It turned out that Zheng Chenggong heard the sound of waves in his mother's stomach and thought what was going on. It was really fun, so he wanted to go out, and he ran hard in his mother's stomach, kicking his mouth and shouting, "Mom, mom, I want to go out, I want to go out and play ..."

In this way, Zheng's mother gave birth on a rock. This stone is still in Hirado, Japan, and is called "Birthday Stone", which means that a child was born on this stone.

These are two kinds of legends, especially how the big fish got into people's stomachs, but it also shows that many people like and respect Zheng Chenggong very much, so they wrote a story about his birth. Here are some true stories of Zheng Chenggong.

When Zheng Chenggong was very young, his father decided to go back to China to do business and prepare his family to return home. But at that time in Japan, the shogunate wouldn't let them go back, and finally Zheng Chenggong's father returned to China alone.

So Zheng Chenggong stayed in Japan with his mother and brother Saemon. When Zheng Chenggong was a child, he was often bullied by Japanese children because he was not Japanese. However, Zheng Chenggong is proud to be a China native. He often listens to his mother's historical stories about China and knows a lot about China. He knew from an early age that if he didn't study hard and grow up, he wouldn't win glory for his motherland. If China is not rich and strong, it will suffer from foreign countries. So every day before dawn, he secretly got up to study, and then practiced sword in the yard. He hopes that one day he can do a lot for China. He wants to make China strong and never be dragged down by foreign countries again. He wants thousands of ordinary people in Qian Qian to live a happy life.

At that time, because my father returned to China, my family was very poor, and sometimes I couldn't even eat a steamed bread. My brother is still young, so Zheng Chenggong helps my mother wash clothes for others. The water in winter is so cold that Zheng Chenggong's hands are red with cold. He is very, very painful, but every time his mother asks him, he always shakes his head and says "no pain". So after he fell asleep, his mother secretly opened the quilt and saw Zheng Chenggong's little palm scabbed. His mother sat under the lamp and cried. When Zheng Chenggong heard someone crying, he woke up and saw that it was his mother. He knew that his mother had looked at his hand, and he also plunged into his mother's arms and cried: "Mom, mom, don't cry. When I grow up, I will study hard and be a useful person to the country. " Zheng Chenggong and his mother cried into a ball.

A few years later, after Zheng Chenggong's father returned to China, he made a lot of money in business and sent people back to Japan to take Zheng Chenggong, his mother and his brother back, but the Japanese shogunate refused to let them all go back. In the end, he only took Zheng Chenggong back to China.

On the day he left Japan, his mother stood on the dock with her brother on her back. Zheng Chenggong's eyes were swollen with tears. He is reluctant to leave his mother. As the boat slowly sailed away, Zheng Chenggong desperately cried to his mother: "I want my mother, I don't want to go ..."

The ship sailed for the sea, and it was already dark ... Zheng Chenggong stood on the front deck, looked at the sea and said to himself, "Mom, I will definitely come back to pick you up when I grow up." I will study hard and be a useful person to China. "

After returning home, Zheng Chenggong's father found the best teacher and many good children to study with him. The teacher has a long beard and small round glasses. He always hits children who don't study hard with a big board. But Zheng Chenggong is not afraid of him at all, because Zheng Chenggong is the most diligent and obedient child, and the teacher often praises him in front of his classmates.

After school, he often plays with children, among which he likes Tai Long best. The dragon has a round face and is chubby. You can eat five big buns at a time, but Dalong doesn't like studying and is often spanked by the teacher. Every time he pulled up his pants and showed Zheng Chenggong his red ass, Zheng Chenggong always smiled and said, "Dalong, Dalong, if you study hard, you won't be spanked by the teacher." ~\

Since then, when other children are playing outside, Zheng Chenggong always helps Dalong review his lessons. Soon Dalong's academic performance improved, and the teacher stopped spanking Dalong. Once he praised Dalong in public, and Zheng Chenggong was very happy to hear it below. Later, the teacher knew that Zheng Chenggong had helped Dalong and was better for Zheng Chenggong, and asked all the children to learn from him.

Zheng Chenggong not only studied hard, but also practiced martial arts very hard. It is very cold to practice martial arts in winter, but when he thinks of his mother and brother in Japan, he is not afraid of the cold and often practices with his big head. Zheng Chenggong's martial arts is getting better and better, but he never bullies other children with martial arts. I also use martial arts to help children.

There is a Spring Festival, and it is very lively outside. Firecrackers have been ringing. There are many people in the street, and some children set off firecrackers outside. After Zheng Chenggong finished his studies, he asked his father for leave to go out to play. Just then, he suddenly saw a child much older than him grabbing firecrackers from a child. The child who was robbed of firecrackers began to cry. The big man just wanted to turn around and walk away when someone behind him shouted, "Don't bully people and give them back." The big man was startled just now, because robbing others is a very bad and guilty thing. But when he saw it clearly, it turned out to be Zheng Chenggong, who was half shorter than him. The big man smiled: "haha, who are you?" It's none of your business. Go away. " I saw Zheng Chenggong's little hand moving, and he turned over several times in a row. He stopped as soon as he appeared. He didn't blush and didn't jump: "Give the firecrackers back to others, or I will be impolite." Zheng Chenggong said that the big man was shocked and said, "Who are you?" . Zheng Chenggong stood up and said loudly, "I am Zheng Chenggong." The big man said, "So you are Zheng Chenggong. Don't hit me. Don't hit me. My things can't be returned to him." After returning the firecrackers to the children, they ran away without a trace. At this time, Dalong and several children heard the noise and ran over. After Zheng Chenggong finished, Dalong asked, "You shouldn't hit people, should you?" . Zheng Chenggong smiled. "We learn martial arts just to keep fit. I won't hit him. I'm just scaring him to learn his lesson. Don't bully other children in the future. " Zheng Chenggong had a good time with all the children that day. They set off a lot of firecrackers, which made their ears buzzing. They had a very happy New Year.

There is a lot of snow in winter and a lot of flowers in spring. Many years later, Zheng Chenggong grew up to be a big boy. Zheng Chenggong's father finally took his mother and brother back from Japan. Zheng's mother's hair turned white and she hugged her and cried. They remembered the scene of Zheng Chenggong helping his mother wash clothes for others in Japan, and the scene of Zheng Chenggong hiding in bed and secretly calling his mother every day for so many years. Dad looked at his taller brother with tears in his eyes.

This year the Ming Dynasty perished, and the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty hanged himself on a high mountain. The Qing army occupied Beiping (note: Beiping is now Beijing). Because Zheng Chenggong's father and they were both from the Ming Dynasty, and later Zheng Chenggong's father became a big official in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty sent many troops to attack them. They wanted to occupy Fujian and the place where he became the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing army sent many big ships at sea and many soldiers with knives to Fujian on land. Zheng Chenggong's father and his "Zheng Jiajun" are ready to fight. They climbed many hills, secretly put big stones, and secretly ambushed many people in the trees with bows and arrows, only to start fighting as soon as the Qing army arrived. As soon as the Qing army brigade came to the back of a mountain, they heard a gunshot, huge stones fell like a rainstorm, and archers on the tree roared and shot arrows. The Qing army was killed with a scream and ran back quickly.

Zheng Chenggong's father and his "Zheng Jiajun" are very happy. They ate a lot of food and drank a lot of wine to celebrate. What if the Qing army can't beat Zheng Jiajun at first sight? Belleboro, the general who led the Qing army to conquer the south, couldn't sleep and his hair was scratched. Finally, a bad idea occurred to him. He sent someone to cheat his father, saying that if Zheng's father surrendered, he would serve his officials, not kill them. Father Zheng Xin thought it was true and only took a few people to the camp of the Qing army. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the Qing army camp, I saw Belle Boluo's moustache sticking up and shouted, "Somebody, tie them up quickly and don't let them get away." Zheng's father realized that he had been cheated.

Zheng Chenggong was very angry when he heard that his father was arrested by the Qing army. Because he hates people who don't keep their promises. He sent many "Zheng Jiajun" to save his father, but Zheng's father had already been secretly sent to Peiping.

Zheng Chenggong later organized an army composed of many people to fight against the Qing army. Before leaving, they stipulated a lot of disciplines, such as: no harm to women, friends and the elderly; Don't rob other people's things and so on. Because their troops were disciplined and did not rob the people, they quickly fought from Fujian to Nanjing and won many victories. Every day, Zheng Chenggong rode his big horse with a sword around his waist and marched with the soldiers, so everyone was in high spirits. "Zheng Jiajun" soon surrounded Nanjing, and the city outside Nanjing was crowded with "Zheng Jiajun" people. However, the Qing dynasty soon sent a large group of soldiers with knives. That night, Zheng Chenggong and his soldiers were sleeping. They heard the killing outside. It turned out that the Qing army secretly attacked Zheng Jiajun at night. Zheng Chenggong and his men fought bravely, but many people were killed because they were completely unprepared, so they had no choice but to retreat from Nanjing to Fujian.

After returning to Fujian, Zheng Chenggong was very angry because many people died in the war. But it took him a long time to understand that after many battles, many China people died (explanation: the Qing army was also from China), and China people should not be allowed to kill each other.

At this time, Taiwan Province Province, which is separated from Fujian by water, was occupied by the Dutch. They bullied the old people and children on Taiwan Province Island. They let China people carry big stones on their backs and transport them far away. They didn't give food on the way. Whoever wants to catch his breath on the ground, they beat the people of China with a big whip. China people on the island of Taiwan Province Province don't have a good dress and a good meal, and even their shoes show a few toes. The children are sallow and emaciated and have no toys.

Zheng Chenggong was very angry when he heard the news, because Taiwan Province Province has always been China people's own place, but foreigners can still bully China people's own land, deny China people food and let China people work for them.

Zheng Chenggong didn't sleep well for several days. He leaned against the window and looked at the sea. His eyes seemed to cross the sea, and he saw the old people and children begging along the street with small wooden bowls. What should I do when I see China people bleeding while working on a hot mountain?

Six,

After careful consideration, Zheng Chenggong decided to send troops to rescue Taiwan Province Province, so that all the people in Taiwan Province Province could have food and clothing, and all the children could go to school happily. Zheng Chenggong has not slept for several days. What is he doing? In Zheng Chenggong's room, he is drawing a battle plan on the map. His eyes were red and bloodshot, and he was full of hatred for the Dutch invaders. ~\

Zheng Chenggong quickly prepared dozens of big ships and many soldiers, who hated the Dutch invaders as much as he did. When soldiers are training in the playground, no one is lazy, because their hearts are full of the suffering people of the motherland and the island of Taiwan Province Province.

The ship finally set sail. These ships will sail for Taiwan Province Province to drive away the Dutch invaders. The dock was crowded with people who came to see me off. Zheng Chenggong and the soldiers shouted excitedly.

Zheng Chenggong's big ship sailed quietly to Bao Dao at night, but unfortunately it was seen by a Dutch soldier on duty. The foreigner with a big nose wanted to have a good sleep with a gun, but a mosquito stung his red nose. He mumbled something we didn't understand and stood up to fight mosquitoes. When he looked up, he found several big ships coming. Those dozens of big ships are like dozens of swords plunged into the enemy's chest in the dark.

The sentry with a big nose is in a hurry. As he ran back, he shouted in half-baked Chinese, "No, no, there are troops calling."

Dutch troops on the island of Taiwan Province Province hit Zheng Chenggong's big ship with artillery, but they all exploded far away from the ship, "rumbling, rumbling", and they didn't hit the ship at all, but only caused waves on the sea. It turned out that Zheng Chenggong had marked the distance of enemy artillery on the map, so of course the artillery couldn't hit them.

As soon as Zheng Chenggong's big ship docked, the soldiers on board rushed out like generals in the sky. They drove the Dutch devils all over the mountains and finally got into a stone castle and dared not come out. When people on Taiwan Province Island heard that Zheng Chenggong's army was coming, they all ran out with their only food and wine to meet "Zheng Jiajun" and cheered loudly around them. The common people cried and cried, which was tears of joy. The whole island of Taiwan Province Province is boiling. A Dutch soldier wanted to see how busy it was outside, but as soon as his head stuck out, a child hit his eye with a slingshot, screaming with pain, and his head shrank back. Make everyone laugh.

The Dutch in the castle refused to surrender, but Zheng Chenggong did not order an attack on the castle, because many people would die in China. Surround the castle. In this way, after a few days, the Dutch in the castle had no water to drink and no food to eat. They were so hungry that the corridor twisted like a drunk, so they surrendered.

Since then, the treasure island of Taiwan Province Province has returned to the embrace of Chinese mother. People there lived a happy life again. Now, many temples have been built in Taiwan Province Province to commemorate Zheng Chenggong, and July 12 every year is taken as the day to commemorate him.
