After replacing Yan Siqi, Zheng Zhilong continued to send immigrants from the mainland to Taiwan, continued to expand the great cause, and his power continued to grow, becoming the largest armed group on the sea at that time.Later, he even landed in Xiamen directly with arms, defeated the Ming official army and surrendered to another pirate leader of the Ming Dynasty, his old enemy Xu Xinsu, and occupied the entire Xiamen area.Zheng Zhilong's growing maritime power caused fear among the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, and they sent troops to pursue them many times, but they all failed.The Ming government was unable to exterminate Zheng Zhilong, and in order to use this maritime power to compete with the Dutch and suppress other pirates, it had no choice but to appease Zheng Zhilong.In the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong said that he would take it as his responsibility to "cut off the Yikou and suppress the thieves", and in September, he was appeased by Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, and led his troops to surrender to Ming, and awarded the coastal defense guerrilla general, and served as the general of the Five Tiger guerrillas.At this time, Zheng Zhilong had more than 30,000 troops and more than 1,000 ships.The construction of a luxury mansion in his hometown of Anping lasted 3 years and 2 months.Since then, Anping has become Zheng Zhilong's military base and maritime trade base for self-defense.After Zheng Zhilong was appeased by the Ming Dynasty, he still did some good things, exterminated the pirates who did not obey the management of the imperial court and attacked everywhere, defeated the Dutch, forced them to cooperate with him, did not dare to enter and leave the China Sea arbitrarily, incorporated the sea power into the local government system, obtained the right to control the sea, legally controlled the operation of the trade system between the East and the West, and became the only power in the Oriental Ocean World.In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming court promoted Zheng Zhilong to the chief military officer of Fujian, and the governor of the same department.Since then, the atmosphere of the sea is quite breathing, selling foreign goods, domestic and foreign merchants, all using the Zheng banner, no example, businessmen have 20 times the benefits.Zhilong is full of Haili traffic and noble, and it is very shown. ”He built a mansion in his hometown of Anping Town, Quanzhou, which was directly connected to Haikou, as a navigation and business base, breaking the official sea ban and prospering the sea market.His armed fleet sailed between the coast of China, Taiwan, Macao, Japan, the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia, making full use of his power and financial resources to expand maritime trade, almost monopolizing China's trade with overseas countries."
Since the Fu Dynasty, those who are not allowed to order the flag of the Zheng family cannot come and go.With an annual income of 3,000 gold and an annual income of 10 million, Zhilong is rich enough to rival the country.Since the city was built in Anping and now Jinjiang Anhai, the sea ship can go straight to the bed, the boat can be berthed to reach the sea, and Fujian takes Zheng's as the Great Wall. ”After Emperor Hongguang succeeded to the throne, he crowned Zheng Zhilong and his third brother Zheng Hongkui as Annanbo and Jinglubo.The Hongguang regime collapsed, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Hongkui and Fujian governor Zhang Kentang, the governor of Wu Chunzhi, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Huang Daozhou, etc., supported the Tang Dynasty as the emperor in Fuzhou, and changed the Yuan Longwu.Zheng Zhilong was given the title of Marquis of Pingyu and held military and political power; Zheng Zhihu, the second brother of the Duke of Pingguo of Xuanjin, died in battle, the third brother Zheng Hongkui, formerly known as Zheng Zhibiao, was the Marquis of Dingxi, and the fourth brother Zheng Zhibao was named Cheng Jibo, and his nephew Zheng Cai was also named Yongshengbo, and the official residence of the Zheng family was the best.In August, Emperor Longwu gave an edict, and Zheng Zhilong, the prince of Jinping, added Taishi.It can be seen from this that Zheng Zhilong people are not only smart and capable, but also have extraordinary strength, coupled with their advantages on the sea, there is no shortage of materials and wealth, which is enough to compete with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.The Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian, whom Zheng Zhilong wants to protect, can be said to be the only good emperor among the descendants of the Zhu family who is not greedy for pleasure and has great ambitions.Zhu Yujian is the king of the Tang dynasty and the ninth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.Zhu Yujian's grandfather, the old Tang Wang, suspected that the father of the son Zhu Yujian had a big lump on his mouth and tongue, and he was ugly, and he loved the son born to the concubine, so he secretly imprisoned Zhu Yujian's father and son, and wanted to starve them to death, Zhu Yujian was only twelve years old at the time.Fortunately, someone secretly helped deliver food, and the father and son spent sixteen years in the prison cell.Seeing that he was about to come to an end, Zhu Yujian's father was poisoned by his younger brother who was eager to attack the throne of the Tang Dynasty.The old Tang King died of illness soon after, and as his grandson, Zhu Yujian finally attacked the Tang King under the grace of the imperial court.At this time, it was the last years of Chongzhen, and the country was in trouble.Zhu Yujian was eager to repay the country, and even ignored the national rule that "the vassal king is not in charge of the army", led his troops from Nanyang to the north, and fought with the thieves on the way, and won and lost each other.Ming Chengzu Zhu Di rebelled against the world as a vassal king, and there was a precedent for this, and the Ming Dynasty was extremely strict against the vassal king.The vassal king could eat and drink lawlessly in the palace, get drunk and dream of death, but he could not raise troops and leave the vassal.It is no wonder that these vassal kings are not longer than the other, and the system of the Ming Dynasty determines that they cannot grow longer.Even if Zhu Yujian's motives are pure and he gathers troops to control the brigade, he still violates the ancestral system of the emperor's family.But turning it over, the country is crumbling, it would be good to have someone to help, what kind of ancestral system does it matter, Emperor Chongzhen, who has a bad brain, doesn't think so, he was furious, and sent Jinyi Wei to put the Tang King in Fengyang Imperial Prison.It wasn't until Emperor Hongguang succeeded to the throne that poor Zhu Yujian was released, but he had been imprisoned for more than eight years.This golden branch is really unlucky, he lived to be forty-three years old, and he was imprisoned for twenty-four years.It is precisely because of these hardships that Zhu Yujian is different from other vassal kings and has lofty ambitions.Although Emperor Hongguang released him, he did not restore his prince and ordered him to live in Pingle Mansion in Guangxi.Zhu Yujian had just walked to Hangzhou, the short-lived Hongguang Dynasty had already ended, and Zhu Ming had another prince, King Lu, called himself "Prison Country" in Hangzhou under the recommendation of everyone.After three days of imprisonment, the Qing army came to kill.Zhu Changfang, the prince of Lu, who had always had high hopes, was really happy, and he and his subordinates did not make any resistance, and surrendered directly to the Qing army.Just the day before, Zhu Yujian had left Hangzhou.When the news of King Lu's capture came, Huang Daozhou and other Ming ministers went up to persuade Zhu Yujian to supervise the country.At this time, Zheng Zhilong, who has always been good at seizing opportunities, saw an opportunity again, and Tang Wang was a strange commodity to live in.He immediately went north to welcome the Tang king into his territory.With the support of Zheng Zhilong's brothers, Zhu Yujian was proclaimed the superintendent of the state in Jianning, now Fujian, and twenty days later, he was officially proclaimed emperor in Fuzhou and changed to Longwu.Due to his rough life, Emperor Longwu and Emperor Hongguang were very different, he was good at comforting his ministers, willing to admonish, and even agreed to recruit the rest of the Dashun army to resist the Qing army.At the same time, in response to the Ming army's killing of civilians with shaved hair, he issued an edict to stop: "Wherever the soldiers go, do not kill in vain."
Some are obedient to the people, and none are refugees. ”This edict caused the common people to cheer and cheer and vote one after another.At this time, Duoduo was too brutal, indulged in the looting of the soldiers, and made the people of Jiangnan miserable.Dolgon also saw it, and let his younger brother continue to make trouble like this, Jiangnan Fei tossed him no one, no one can not be no one, the Qing Dynasty still rules who to do this, it is up to Duoduo to do it, he transferred Duoduo back to Beijing, replaced Dorobelle Bolo as the general of the expedition to the south, Hong Chengchou as the Jiangnan Jingluo, assisted Bolo, and continued the southern expedition while pacifying the suffering places in Nanjing.Bolo is young, and in the face of the newly established Longwu regime, and in the face of a group of pirate armies who are not afraid of life and death, he really has no good way.The Longwu regime has a rich rival country, assisted by the experienced Zheng brothers, and there is such a wise emperor who Shi Zhi Zhongxing, Zhongxing should have hope, alas, but unfortunately, although the Manchus have no way to deal with the Longwu regime, but Bolo is still followed by a traitor Hong Chengchou
