Scene description of Zheng Chenggong's heroic struggle to recover Taiwan Province

Zheng Chenggong was born in 1624. His father is Zheng Zhilong, the leader of Han immigrants mentioned earlier. Zheng Chenggong's youth coincided with the defeat of the Ming Dynasty in China and the occupation of Taiwan Province Province by the Dutch. He witnessed these two events with his own eyes, and his heart was full of hatred for the Qing Dynasty and Dutch colonists. He secretly made up his mind to realize the ideal of defeating the Qing Dynasty, restoring the Ming Dynasty and recovering Taiwan Province Province. 1647, he led a group of people to South Australia, the border of Fujian and Guangdong, and announced the anti-Qing dynasty. From this year to 166, Zheng Chenggong had a tenacious struggle with the Qing army, but it was difficult to win because his troops were too small. In this case, he decided to recover Taiwan Province Province and take Bao Dao as the base area before making long-term plans.

166 1 in March of the lunar calendar, Zheng Chenggong led 25,000 soldiers to set off from Jinmen Island in Fujian and stopped at Penghu, launching a great feat of recovering Taiwan Province Province. In his surrender letter to the Dutch Governor, the Lord solemnly pointed out: Taiwan Province Province is the land of China, but it has been occupied by your country for a long time. Today, we will take it back and return the land you deserve to us.

The action to recover Taiwan Province Province is just and supported by the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. It can be said that when Zheng Chenggu's army landed in Taiwan Province, he paid attention to the work of striving for and uniting Gaoshan compatriots. During his busy military affairs, he took time to visit several Gaoshan tribes living near Tainan and distributed tobacco, cloth, clothes, shoes and hats to the leaders of Gaoshan tribes.

There is a legend that one day, when Zheng Chenggong led a group of generals and soldiers to visit a Gaoshan tribe, four Gaoshan compatriots came out of the welcome crowd, and each of them came to Zheng Chenggong with a plate of gold and silver, weeds and dirt. Originally, the Dutch colonists heard that Zheng Chenggong wanted to recover Taiwan Province Province, so they ordered their missionaries to drill into the Gaoshan people, saying that Zheng Chenggong's army was "killing and setting fire" everywhere. I came to Taiwan Province Province this time to plunder gold and silver. Therefore, when the tribal leader heard that Zheng Chenggong was coming, he came up with a way to test Zheng Chenggong with money, silver, grass and soil.

Zheng Chenggong looked at the four plates in front of him and understood something. Therefore, I asked the translator to tell my Gaoshan compatriots with a smile: "I came to Taiwan Province Province with an army to expel the Khmer Rouge (the Dutch) and recover our country, not to ask for gold and silver." Later, he asked Qin Bing to accept two plates filled with weeds and dirt and return two plates filled with gold and silver to the tribal leader.

Within a few days, the news that Zheng Chenggong didn't want gold and silver spread all over the island. Many Gaoshan communities sent their own leaders to visit Zheng Chenggong and expressed their willingness to accept his leadership and cooperate with the army to expel the Dutch invaders. When Zheng Chenggong's vanguard troops landed in Lu 'ermen, Tainan City, thousands of local people in Taiwan Province ran out happily to welcome them.

Zheng Chenggong's troops fought a lot of fierce battles with the Dutch army on the western coast of Taiwan, and finally surrounded Granza, the stronghold of the Dutch army, and constantly beat back the reinforcements sent by the Netherlands at sea. The Dutch colonists couldn't support it any longer, so they had to surrender and withdraw from Taiwan Province Province, so that Taiwan Province Province, which had been occupied for 38 years, finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.

After Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan Province Province, he changed chibi city to Chengtianfu, governing two counties, Tianxing County in the north and Wannian County in the south, calling Taiwan Province Province the "East Capital". He abolished the Dutch colonial system, carried out various reforms, developed trade and set up schools. At the same time, he called on the mainland people to emigrate to Taiwan Province Province to cultivate land, which made the economy and culture of Taiwan Province Province develop rapidly and wrote an important chapter in the history of Taiwan Province Province. However, due to years of continuous battles and extremely busy work after recovering Taiwan Province Province, Zheng Chenggong finally broke down from constant overwork and died five months after recovering Taiwan Province Province. He was only 39 years old.
