Describe the scene when Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan and defeated the Dutch invaders.

In the fourth year of Qi tomorrow (AD 1624), the Dutch colonialists invaded Taiwan, China. In the early Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong was determined to drive away the invading army. In March of the 18th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (the 15th year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty, 1661 AD), Zheng Chenggong personally led 20,000 soldiers and set off from Kinmen in hundreds of warships. They braved the wind and waves, crossed the Taiwan Strait, rested in Penghu for a few days, and prepared to go straight to Taiwan. When the Dutch invaders heard that Zheng Chenggong was planning to attack Taiwan, they were very frightened. They concentrated their troops in two castles in Taiwan (today's Dongping area of ??Taiwan) and Chichi (today's Tainan), and sank ships in the port to prevent Zheng Chenggong's fleet from landing. Zheng Jun took advantage of the rising tide to sail his fleet into the Luermen inland sea. The main force landed at Heliao Port, attacked Chikan City from the side, and cut off the connection with Taiwan City

. During the battle, the invading army attacked with the battleship "Hector". Zheng Chenggong gave the order and surrounded the enemy tightly. More than 60 warships fired their guns together and sank the "Hector". At the same time, the reinforcements from Taiwan City were defeated. The naked Dutch army surrendered to Zheng's army when their water sources were cut off and there was no hope for foreign aid. The invading army entrenched in Taiwan City attempted to resist stubbornly. Zheng Chenggong built an earthen platform around the city and besieged the enemy for eight months before ordering a strong attack on Taiwan City. At the beginning of the first year of Kangxi (the sixteenth year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty, 1662 AD), the leader of the invading army was forced to go to Zheng Chenggong's camp and signed a surrender document. At this point, Zheng Chenggong recovered our country's sacred territory of Taiwan from the Dutch invaders after it had been occupied for 38 years.

In the 18th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (the 15th year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty, 1661), the national hero Zheng Chenggong led his army to expel the Dutch colonists and regain the Chinese territory of Taiwan in a large-scale cross-sea landing operation.

Taiwan was called Yizhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, and Liuqiu in the Sui Dynasty. It has always been Chinese territory. During the Three Kingdoms period, both Wu and Sui dynasties sent officials to Taiwan. During the Southern Song Dynasty, Taiwan was under the jurisdiction of Jinjiang County, Quanzhou, Fujian Province. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Penghu Inspection Department was established to take charge of the area. During the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Taiwan. For a long time, both the Gaoshan and Han people have contributed to the development of Taiwan.

In the second year of Qi tomorrow (1622), the Dutch colonial agency East India Company (stationed in Indonesia) sent warships to Taiwan to inspect the port. The following year, the Dutch ship returned and sent 50 troops to build a fort on the island. They were attacked by the local people and fled. In four years, the Dutch commander Song Ke led 13 ships and invaded southwestern Taiwan. Later, Taiwan City (called Relandja City in Dutch, today's Xi'an Ping Town, Tainan City) and Chican City (called Provencha City in Dutch, today's Tainan City) were built. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), the Dutch army defeated the Spanish colonial army that invaded Jilong (today's Keelung), Tamsui and other places, and occupied northern Taiwan. The Dutch colonists implemented military suppression, political partition, and economic plunder in Taiwan. They used Taiwan as a base to rob merchants and goods along the coast, and captured Chinese as slaves. The people of Taiwan could not bear colonial rule and resisted in various forms. In the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1652), Taiwanese Guo Huaiyi led an uprising of 16,000 people to resist the Dutch. It lasted 15 days but was suppressed. Guo Huaiyi and more than 1,800 of his people were killed by the Dutch army. The colonial atrocities aroused the hatred and resistance of the Taiwanese people.

In the fourteenth year, He Tingbin (also known as He Bin), an old member of Zheng Zhilong's army and a Dutch translator, went from Taiwan to Xiamen to persuade Zheng Chenggong to regain Taiwan. In the 16th year, He Tingbin presented a map of Taiwan to Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Jun was busy resting and reorganizing and resisting the Qing army's march south, so he had not yet decided to invade Taiwan. In the first month of the eighteenth year, Zheng Chenggong held a military conference in Xiamen and determined to regain Taiwan as the basis for resisting the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Jun rushed to repair warships, raise arms and supplies; sent people to guide the port, detect waterways, reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and block information from the outside world. Zheng Chenggong ordered his generals Hong Xu and Huang Ting to assist his eldest son Zheng Jing to stay in Kinmen and Xiamen; he gathered the officers and soldiers who crossed the sea and landed on the ship, strictly controlled them, and were ready to go according to orders.

On March 23, Zheng Chenggong took advantage of the weak strength of the Dutch invaders in Taiwan (more than a thousand people) and their reinforcements were affected by the monsoon and were unable to go to Taiwan. He personally led 25,000 soldiers and hundreds of warships to attack Taiwan. The first batch, guided by He Tingbin and fishermen who were familiar with the shipping route, set off from Liaoluo Bay in Kinmen and arrived in Penghu the next day, waiting for the wind. On the night of the 30th, Zheng's army set sail from Penghu and arrived outside Lu'ermen Port (north of today's Anping Port, Tainan City), which was poorly defended by the Dutch army on the morning of the second day of April. Taking advantage of the high tide at noon, Zheng Chenggong led his division through the shallow North Channel of Daoyu and sailed into Luermen Port. He ordered 4,000 sailors to seize the last island on the northern line and annihilate all the Dutch defenders. He then led his main force through the large bay and directly inserted into Heliao. Hong Kong, and was assisted ashore by thousands of compatriots on the island. The Dutch colonial governor organized many counterattacks. At sea, four Dutch ships attacked the Zheng army outside the last island on the northern line. Zheng Chenggong dispatched generals Chen Guang and Chen Chong to lead 60 warships to surround the Dutch ship, sink the Dutch main ship Hector with artillery fire, and burn the Dutch ship Graslan with fire ships. On land, Captain Thomas Bader was sent to lead 240 gun soldiers to attack the Zheng army that landed on the last island of the northern line. Chen Ze, the general of the Zheng army, sent 800 troops to bypass the enemy and severely damaged the Dutch troops on the island.

On the third day of April, Zheng Chenggong took advantage of his victory to expand his results. He gathered 12,000 troops to surround Chican City, cut off the water source in the city, and deployed firearms around the city to form a military deterrent to the Dutch army. The captured leader of the Chijiang garrison was sent back to the city to persuade his brother and his wife to surrender. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, it is difficult to describe the situation and the situation is poor. Zheng Chenggong treated him favorably, and also sent the Dutch Governor and Council of Ministers to the city of Taiwan to recruit Kui Yi to surrender. On the sixth day of the lunar month, Kui Yi sent someone to see Zheng Chenggong. He promised to pay compensation in exchange for Zheng's army to withdraw, but was sternly rejected. The next day, the main force of Zheng's army moved to Kun, threatening Taiwan City. With the help of a strong city, powerful artillery and thousands of garrison troops, Kui Yi refused to surrender.

On the 24th, Zheng Chenggong isolated the city of Taiwan, so he changed the siege to a siege and awaited surrender; at the same time, he divided his troops to recover other lost lands on the island. In May, Chicai was renamed Dongdu Mingjing, Chengtianfu and Tianxing and Wannian counties were established, and Taiwan City was renamed Anping Town. He also issued settlement orders to meet military needs, strictly enforced military discipline, punished unruly soldiers, and even visited and expressed condolences to the residential areas of the Gaoshan compatriots. Inspired by Zheng Chenggong's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, black soldiers in the Dutch army also defected and surrendered to help in the war. In places such as Jilong and Tamsui before Zheng's army arrived, the Taiwanese compatriots took the initiative to take up arms to expel the Dutch army.

In order to save the defeat, the Dutch East India Company sent naval commander Jakob Kayu to lead 12 ships and 720 soldiers to reinforce Taiwan. On the 23rd of the intercalated month, it joined forces with Kuiyi to attack the Zheng army. . The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour. Zheng Army generals Chen Ze and Chen Jimei led their troops to destroy 2 Dutch ships, capture 5 Dutch ships, and kill more than 130 people below the captain. Ka Yu was defeated and the Dutch army in Taiwan City ran out of food and reinforcements. An absolute dilemma. On the first day of October, Kuei once again asked Batavia for help. The Dutch colonists appointed Kayu as commander and Constantine Nobel as deputy commander to lead rescue forces, but they were repelled by Zheng's army.

Eight months after Taiwan City was besieged, the second batch of Zheng troops landed. On the sixth day of December, Zheng Chenggong ordered the bombardment of Fort Utrecht, an important stronghold outside the city of Taiwan. He fired more than 2,500 artillery shells and breached the city that night. The remaining 600 Dutch troops huddled in the city of Taiwan have almost lost their combat effectiveness due to disability, hunger and disease. The Dutch Colonial Council held an emergency meeting and decided to hand over the castle under preferential conditions. On December 13 (February 1, 1662), Kuei signed the instrument of surrender on behalf of the Dutch side. At this point, Taiwan, which had been occupied by Dutch colonists for 38 years, returned to China.

Zheng Chenggong regained the Chinese territory of Taiwan and won the support of Taiwan compatriots; in terms of combat guidance, he was able to correctly choose fighter planes and strike directions, and used monsoons and tides to surprise the enemy and land; at the same time, he combined military strikes with political disintegration. Cooperate and win. It is a successful example of large-scale sea crossing and landing operations in Chinese history, and has written a glorious page in the history of the Chinese nation's resistance to foreign aggression.

Zheng Chenggong of the Folding Ming Dynasty

The hero Zheng Chenggong is known to everyone. His greatest achievement in life was to regain Taiwan by force, ending the 38 years of Dutch colonization in Taiwan. rule.

Zheng Chenggong is a famous national hero in my country in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. His original name was Fusong and Sen, and his nickname was Damu. He was a native of Shijing Village, Nan'an County, Fujian Province. His father, Zheng Zhilong, was the "Jian'an Bo" of the Longwu Dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He organized immigration to Taiwan and actively developed the island. In 1645 (the first year of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty), 21-year-old Zheng Chenggong was summoned by Emperor Longwu Zhu Weijian in Fuzhou. He was highly appreciated and considered a member of the family. He was given the surname of the country (Zhu) and successfully changed his name. Therefore, he was respectfully called "Master of the surname of the country" at home and abroad. . In 1653 (the seventh year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty), Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty (Zhu Youlang) named him "Prince of Yanping County".

In 1646, the second year of Longwu in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Chenggong tried hard to dissuade him, but failed to stop it, so he led his troops to Nan'ao (now part of Guangdong) and raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Chenggong felt that there was no room for hesitation in regaining Taiwan, so he summoned civil and military officials to discuss the issue of entering Taiwan. He believed that the situation was urgent and "nothing can be done nearby. However, Taiwan is not far from here. If we take it temporarily, we can connect Jin and Xia to care for the islands." Then, "expand foreign countries and train soldiers. If you advance, you can fight and restore the Central Plains. If you retreat, you can defend it without any internal worries." As a result, Zheng Chenggong made the important decision to "conquer" Taiwan personally. This is a fundamental change in Zheng Chenggong's strategy, and it is also a very wise and bold decision. This is of extremely important significance for ending the separatism of the motherland and safeguarding the sacred sovereignty and territorial integrity of the motherland.

In the process of planning and discussing the recovery of Taiwan, Zheng Chenggong reserved food and wages, trained troops and built ships, and reconnoitred the enemy's situation, making careful and sufficient preparations both materially and mentally. Its operational policy is: first recover Penghu as an advance base, then take advantage of the rising tide to pass through Luermen Port, carry out landing operations on the Taijiang River, cut off the connection between the Dutch forces in Taiwan City and Chican City, and encircle and annihilate them respectively. Then regain the entire island of Taiwan.

On February 1, 1662, Zheng Chenggong, our national hero in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, led the army to expel the Dutch invaders and regained Taiwan. Zheng Chenggong is a native of Nan'an County, Fujian Province. He has been good at thinking and brave and promising since he was a child. His father, Zheng Zhilong, was the general military officer of Fujian in the late Ming Dynasty. His boyhood was during a period of great turmoil in China, so the idea of ??saving the country and the people was deeply imprinted in his heart.

In 1646, the Qing army crossed the Qiantang River and occupied Zhejiang. Zheng Zhilong, who held the political power of the Longwu Dynasty, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Zheng Chenggong was devastated by the ruin of his country and the suffering of his people. He refused his father's advice to surrender, burned his clothes to recruit talents, and recruited troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. After a bloody battle, Xiamen was obtained as the anti-Qing base area. After Zheng Chenggong failed in his third Northern Expedition, his troops were severely damaged. He considered the overall situation and felt that it was impossible to achieve the great cause of restoring the Central Plains by relying solely on Xiamen and Kinmen as base areas. If we drive away the Dutch invaders, regain our territory of Taiwan, expand our anti-Qing base areas, and strengthen our own strength, the situation will be much better. Moreover, the people of Taiwan could not bear the atrocities committed by the Dutch invaders and yearned for liberation. So Zheng Chenggong decided to march eastward and regain Taiwan.

Taiwan has been our country’s sacred territory since ancient times. "Taiwan is China's land. If I come to claim it now, the land shall be mine." This was Zheng Chenggong's solemn oath to the Dutch colonists, and it was also his intention to "restore the original foundation in ten years."

The Dutch colonists invaded Taiwan in 1624 and carried out colonial rule and plunder on the Taiwanese people for 38 years. The Taiwanese people suffered a lot and hoped that the motherland would regain Taiwan. On April 21, 1661, Zheng Chenggong, wearing armor and holding a sword, led a mighty army and set sail from Laoluo Bay in Kinmen, crossing the sea to recover Taiwan.

Zheng Chenggong's army encountered a southeasterly headwind and white waves during the march. The fleet was unable to move, so it had to return and anchored among the 36 islands in Penghu. It could not move for several days. Military rations are in short supply and urgent action must be taken. Zheng Chenggong issued an order and solemnly declared: I led the army and risked the eastward expedition to recover the occupied territory, not to seek comfort overseas. He encouraged the soldiers not to be afraid of rough waves or the enemy's ships and cannons. As long as they obeyed the command and united as one, they would be able to overcome the difficulties and regain Taiwan. So the entire army worked together to brave headwinds, heavy rain, and huge waves, and the fleet continued to move toward the southeast. At dawn on April 29, it reached the coast of Taiwan. The fleet avoided the coast of Chikan City and took a detour to land at Luermen. After landing, they immediately surrounded the military stronghold Chican City (today's Tainan), launched a fierce battle with the Dutch colonial army, defeated the invading army, and recovered Chican City. As soon as the Dutch Governor Kui saw that the situation was not going well, he used a delaying strategy and expressed his willingness to pay tribute every year. Zheng Chenggong categorically told the envoys that unless you surrender and return Taiwan to China, there is no other way out. Zheng Chenggong ordered an immediate attack to attack the city of Taiwan (now Anping) where Kuiyi was entrenched. After nine months of siege, the Dutch ran out of ammunition and food, and finally had to surrender with a white flag and sent a letter of surrender. On February 1, 1662, a surrender ceremony was held. On this day, the Dutch invaders bowed their heads in front of the Chinese people.

Five months after Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan, he died of illness due to overwork and unruly military service. He was only 38 years old.
