I don’t know when Zheng Chenggong got used to the feeling of being at sea.
The feeling of wandering is more reassuring than stepping on solid ground.
Maybe he is destined to be the son of the sea.
Zheng Chenggong was born in Japan and stayed in the homes of local famous people since he was a child.
It was only when I reached the age of studying that my father took me back to my hometown in Fujian.
Crossing the ocean, Zheng Chenggong was very scared at that time.
The waves crashed against the side of the ship, and the crisp sound made one's heart palpitate.
There are also seagulls, they always hover above the ship, circling and circling.
It has been said that seagulls are dead crew members.
Every time a crew member dies, his soul becomes a seagull.
Maybe that's why there are always seagulls around ships.
Those dead sailors were also afraid of loneliness.
Zheng Chenggong remembers that he especially liked counting seagulls at that time.
One, two, three.
I fell asleep while counting.
He spent several such days and nights from Japan to Fujian.
There was a lack of supplies at sea, so we could only eat some pre-pickled pickles and dry steamed buns.
Zheng Chenggong, like other crew members, has no privileges at all.
But he pulled through.
Perhaps since then Zheng Chenggong has developed a character that does not give in easily.
Later, he was sent to Nanjing Imperial College by his father to study.
Later, he met the emperor of the day and went to Huangming Military Academy instead.
Everything seems to be destined.
After graduating from the Huangming Military Academy, he went to Shandong to observe politics and witnessed firsthand how the army built bastions and resisted the brutal Tatar attack.
After that, he went to Shandong and Denglai and became a member of the Denglai Navy.
Under the command of Governor Zhang Kentang, Zheng Chenggong performed better and better and gradually emerged.
Just when he was full of ambition and thought it was time to show off his grand ambitions, he suddenly heard bad news.
News broke that his father Zheng Zhilong secretly communicated with Donglu and had evil intentions.
The news shocked the government and the public like a thunderclap.
Nanjing's civil and military officials were in an uproar.
You must know that Zheng Zhilong is the headquarter of Fujian Province, and was conferred the title of Marquis of Nan'an by the emperor himself.
Such a warlord with a large number of troops actually flirted with Donglu secretly, which simply caused the court to lose face.
As the son of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong was in the whirlpool of public opinion at the time.
It was impossible for him to speak to defend his father, because as long as he spoke, it would be wrong, and it had nothing to do with the content of what he said.
Zheng Chenggong remained silent.
Even if this was the case, the censors would not let him go.
These officials jointly submitted a letter requesting the emperor to severely punish Zheng Chenggong and imprison him as a bargaining chip to threaten Zheng Zhilong.
Just when everyone thought that Zheng Chenggong could not escape disaster, the emperor did not "follow the good deeds" and chose to protect Zheng Chenggong.
To be honest, Zheng Chenggong still hasn't figured out why the emperor would protect him.
After all, Zheng Chenggong has the blood and bones of Zheng Zhilong in his body.
If Zheng Zhilong is really up to no good, it is obviously the best choice to seize Zheng Chenggong.
However, the emperor did not put Zheng Chenggong into prison, and even summoned Zheng Chenggong in person to encourage him.
Zheng Chenggong still clearly remembers every detail of the meeting.
The emperor personally took off his cloak and put it on his body, telling him to practice in the army with peace of mind and not to be distracted by rumors.
Zheng Chenggong was so moved that he immediately fell to his knees and shouted long live the mountain.

When things got to this point, the emperor could still trust him so much.
He was really moved beyond words.
From that moment on, Zheng Chenggong swore that his life had been sold to His Majesty.
Even if His Majesty asked him to go to the Mountain of Swords or get off the Oil Pan, he would not even frown.
With the encouragement of the emperor and the support of the governor, Zheng Chenggong became more and more outstanding.
Only then did he achieve the great victory of Buffalo Island and become famous throughout the world in the first battle.
Zheng Chenggong also transformed from a young and immature young man into a general with rich experience in naval warfare.
I'm afraid only he knows the warmth and sadness in it.
Precisely because all this is hard-won, Zheng Chenggong will cherish it very much.
He fought every battle he commanded as the last battle, and he completed every battle purely.
He firmly believes that only by immersing yourself in the battle itself can you perform at your best.
Later, there was a Japanese invasion in the southeast, and the emperor was worried about it.
After some careful consideration, the emperor decided to order Zheng Chenggong and Han Yangbing to go to Zhejiang to quell Japan in two groups.
The hardest-hit area of Zhejiang's Japanese invasion was in Ningbo, so Zheng Chenggong led his troops to Ningbo without hesitation.
After seeing the devastated scene along the coast with his own eyes, Zheng Chenggong felt his teeth itching with hatred.
He secretly vowed to kill these Japanese pirates with thousands of knives to avenge the dead people.
Everyone must pay a price for what they have done.
These Japanese pirates have done something so outrageous to both humans and gods, and they must not be allowed to escape easily.
Anyone who offends our mighty power will be punished no matter how far away they are.
Even if they fled to Champa, Manila, or Java, Zheng Chenggong would capture them and punish them. call.
The sea breeze blew through the corners of his eyes, and Zheng Chenggong's eyes were slightly red.
"General, we found an island ahead."
When Zheng Chenggong was feeling disappointed, his soldiers reported respectfully.
"oh" Zheng Chenggong pulled away from his thoughts, took the telescope from the soldier and squinted one eye to look at it intently.
The black spots that could only be seen with the naked eye were magnified several times, and Zheng Chenggong could clearly see the scene on the island.
Fortresses, cannons, and even patrolling Japanese pirates.
This thing called a telescope is also an invention of His Majesty the Emperor.
It is said that there are only three books in the entire Ming Dynasty.
One is in the Forbidden City in Nanjing, one is in Denglai Water City, and the other one is about Zheng Chenggong.
Zheng Chenggong brought this telescope with him when he came to Southeast China this time.
Unexpectedly, it worked wonders at this time.
Zheng Chenggong tried hard to calm down and warned himself desperately to stay calm.
The closer you are to victory, the more calm you must be and never let your emotions affect you.
"My general orders the fleet to turn left and go to the flank of the island ahead."
Zheng Chenggong clearly saw through the telescope that the island was well-defended.
If he chose to attack from the front, he would probably not gain much advantage.
He does not fight uncertain battles, and will not rush to order a strong attack before ensuring that nothing goes wrong.
At the moment, taking a roundabout approach is a good idea.
The soldiers clasped their fists to accept the order, trotted to the flag officer, and ordered him to play the flag.
The fleet travels on the sea, and communication between them relies on semaphores.
Very common commands such as turning left rudder, turning right rudder, hoisting sails, and lowering sails are all encoded as semaphores.
As long as they are played, each ship can respond in time.
Sure enough, after seeing the flagship signal to turn left rudder, the other ships followed the order.
The entire fleet headed towards the left port of the island ahead
