What measures did Zheng Chenggong take to develop Taiwan Province Province?

After Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan Province Province, he took a series of measures to restore and develop production and close ethnic relations, thus creating a new situation for the development of Taiwan Province Province.

Zheng Chenggong arrived in Taiwan Province Province for more than a month, that is, he changed the land of Chiqian to Tokyo Mingjing, and set up Chengtian, Yifu, Tianxing and Wannian counties, which was the beginning of setting up special zones in Taiwan Province Province. Judging from this set of counties, it completely follows the Ming system and is consistent with the form of political power in the mainland of the motherland. Zheng Chenggong has always named Taiwan Province as the East Capital and marked it as "Mingjing", which shows that he still regards himself as an overseas orphan in Zhi Ming. After his son Zheng succeeded to the throne, he did not give up his ambition and persisted until the day of prime minister. Zheng Jing heard that after the death of Emperor Zhu Youlang, if he did not change the total number of Du Dong, he was suspected of forgetting the hegemony. Therefore, Du Dong was changed to Dongning, and Tianxing and Wannian were established.

Zheng Chenggong attached great importance to uniting compatriots in Taiwan Province Province, especially the ethnic minorities in Taiwan Province Province (collectively referred to as the Fan nationality at that time), and adopted the policy of national harmony. Shortly after landing, Zheng Chenggong went to Xingang, Madou, Xiaolong, Mujialiuwan and other places to express his condolences to the local minority compatriots, hosted a banquet for the village leaders who came to meet him, and presented official robes, hats and boots to local officials as a token of comfort. Compatriots of all ethnic groups were deeply moved, and people from the north and the south heard about it followed. Zheng Chenggong also presented them with a lot of tobacco, cloth and silk. In order to help them develop production, Zheng Chenggong also distributed cattle and iron farm tools to various cooperatives according to Angelababy's suggestion, and sent experienced Han farmers to teach them advanced agricultural production techniques.

In order to protect the interests of people of all ethnic groups in Taiwan Province Province, Zheng Chenggong attached great importance to the rectification of public security after recovering Taiwan Province Province. He strictly prohibited soldiers from disturbing the villages and communities of people of all ethnic groups and from invading the farming property of local people and people. If they break the law, they will be prosecuted and severely punished. Zheng Chenggong always used harsh language, and even close friends, criminals could not be pardoned. His ministry Wu Hao was sentenced to death for robbing people and hiding Su Mi. You Huwei Chen Python was guilty of the same crime and was "tied and dismissed". Yang Chaodong, the magistrate of Chengtianfu, was beheaded by the whole family for "distributing food with small fights". Ma Xin once advised Zheng Chenggong to "use lenient codes". Zheng Chenggong replied: "Law is more expensive than strictness, so that ordinary people will not abuse it and those who follow it will be easy to cure their ears."

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and solve the serious problem of military food and supplies, Zheng Chenggong personally issued a letter to the reclamation clause, vigorously promoted reclamation, and implemented the policy of "involving soldiers in agriculture". After the promulgation of the reclamation clause, when the Dutch colonialists in Taiwan Province provinces and cities were still recalcitrant, he resolutely decided to set aside towns and camps for reclamation during the flood season.

In addition to leaving Ma Xin and his men to carry out the military affairs of besieging the provincial capital of Taiwan, the rest of the officers and men all divided fields according to the town, reclaimed land according to the land, planted bamboo for the society, cut grass for the house, plowed cattle around, made the field barren, and the army had surplus grain. The gap in agriculture is to train military affairs and fight with the police, and there is no police to plow the fields. This not only solved the problem of rations, but also made great contributions to the development of Taiwan Province Province.

Zheng Chenggong also changed the confiscated Wang Tian from Dutch colonists into official land, and the official government provided the means of production, rented it to farmers for farming, and collected real land rent. The land reclaimed by the garrison generals is called Yingpantian, which is self-sufficient and only needs to pay one-third of the harvest to the government every year. In addition, civil and military officials and gentlemen are encouraged to collect land for land reclamation, and the cultivated land is called private land, which can be spread all over the world, thus leading to the situation that civil and military officials compete to occupy land and lease land for land reclamation.

In order to develop Taiwan Province Province, after arriving in Taiwan, we ordered Jin and Xiamen to move to Taiwan as soon as possible, and sent people to Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Huizhou, Chaozhou and other coastal areas to attract the displaced people who were banned by the Qing court to enter Taiwan for reclamation. At that time, although not many officers and men moved to Taiwan Province with their families, and coastal residents were unwilling to move inland, many people crossed the border to Taiwan Province Province. As a result, the population of Taiwan Province has greatly increased. By the eve of the Qing government's unification of Taiwan Province Province in the 22nd year of Kangxi (1683), more than 200,000 people had moved to Taiwan Province Province from the mainland. The Han people in Chinese mainland who emigrated to Taiwan Province and compatriots of all ethnic groups in Taiwan Province Province have made great contributions to the development of Bao Dao.

Zheng Chenggong and his son Zheng Jing managed and developed Taiwan Province Province, which made the social economy of Taiwan Province Province develop by leaps and bounds, especially in the plain area in the southwest of Taiwan Province Province. Many new towns, such as Langjiao, Yunlin, Changhua and Hsinchu, began to take shape during this period. Even the distant places such as Danshui and Keelung have laid the foundation for future prosperity because of the garrison reclamation. The land in Taiwan Province Province is increasing day by day, and the output is also increasing day by day. "I am afraid of travelers, but now I am happy to be a paradise."

Zheng Chenggong also advocated education Setting up township schools in villages where ethnic minorities live in concentrated communities and stipulating the people who send their children to school can reduce corvee and taxes and greatly improve the cultural level of all ethnic groups.

In the first year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, on the eighth day of May in the 16th year of Li Yong in Nanming (1662), Zheng Chenggong died in Taiwan at the age of 39. His immortal feats of expelling Dutch colonists, recovering Taiwan Province Province and developing Taiwan Province Province will go down in history forever. He is worthy of being a hero of the Chinese nation and deserves our eternal commemoration.
