Empress Xiaozhao

As the Marquis of Nan An, Zheng Zhilong was in charge of all the military affairs in Nan Ming, while Emperor Long Wu was just a nameless emperor. For a moment, Zheng Zhilong's power had reached its peak, so it was not excessive for Zheng Zhilong to have authority in the imperial court. Emperor Long Wu was not willing to give up his position as the Han Emperor, while Zheng Zhilong was the Cao Mengde who had seized the heaven's gift to order the dukes.

Only Zheng Zhilong was the one who had the true power, he did not have the ambition to fight for the land with the Emperor. Zheng Zhilong did not agree with Emperor Long Wu's request at all, thus, Zheng Zhilong rejected the Emperor's request. Zheng Zhilong didn't wish at all that the money he earned would be wasted for nothing, just like that.

Zheng Chenggong naturally would not approve of his father's words. After being persuaded many times, Zheng Chenggong did not succeed. The Chinese, especially the scholars, had always loved to worship Confucius. Thus, Zheng Chenggong went to the Kong temple to wail and plead. After that, he returned back to and said to his father, "Since ancient times, filial piety cannot be satisfied on both ends. Father must forgive this child's unfilial actions." On the second day, Zheng Chenggong led his subordinates and headed to Taiwan.

In order to pacify Zheng Chenggong, no matter if it was Emperor Shun Zhi, or the Empress Dowager Zhuang, they had always treated him with courtesy. Compared to the other surrendering Korean Army, Zheng Zhilong had already given him preferential treatment. Zheng Zhilong also knew that his current position was closely related to his son. On one hand, Zheng Zhilong hoped that his unfilial son would not surrender. On the other hand, Zheng Zhilong hoped that his own son would surrender.

Zheng Zhilong had written a lot of letters to his son, but Zheng Chenggong had never replied him with a letter. Shun Zhi was impeached for 12 years, his son betraying the nation. This was the reaction of the Qing Dynasty towards Zheng Zhilong when he lost his patience, and this matter had once caused a storm in the city. Emperor Shun Zhi hoped that Zheng Chenggong would take care of him, his father. However, Emperor Shun Zhi did not understand that in the eyes of the Confucian Scholars, surrendering to the Qing Dynasty was akin to bending one's waist.

Back then, when Zheng Chenggong cried as an offering to the temple, all the scholars of Fujian knew about it. Why did Zheng Chenggong do such a face-smacking thing now? In the past, when Zheng Zhilong had unknowingly offended many people, it was reasonable for the wall to be pushed down by the masses. After Zheng Zhilong was imprisoned, he was also sent to the Ming Dynasty as a general. The Tidor Huang Wu then sent a letter to the Emperor, saying, "The families of the traitors should be expelled from the Yanjing and sent to Shengjing."

However, the Empress Dowager Zhuang didn't allow it. With regards to the matter of Zheng Zhilong, he still held some hope. Empress Dowager Zhuang felt that Zheng Zhilong would definitely still have a kind heart. He had always valued his father's filial piety, so Zheng Chenggong would definitely not ignore his father. When Emperor Shun Zhi took away Zheng Zhilong's title, Zheng Zhilong himself stayed in the Yanjing.

It had been up to Shun Zhi for seventeen years, but the Xiao Zhuang empress dowager no longer held too much hope. At this time, there were also many letters intercepted by the Fujian Patrol Officer, claiming that they were's private messages with his son, Zheng Chenggong. After his title was taken away, Zheng Zhilong had become a real prisoner. Let alone writing to Zheng Chenggong, even if he had to leave the house, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Therefore, anyone who knew the truth of this matter would understand.

It could only be that Zheng Zhilong was being loathed by the emperor, so the council of ministers decided to sentence Zheng Zhilong to the crime of betraying the country. After that, Emperor Shun Zhi ordered for the sentence to be changed to exile in Ninggueta. Thus, Zheng Zhilong set foot on the northern borders. When Zheng Zhilong was exiled, Emperor Shun Zhi announced to the world, even Zheng Chenggong who was far away on Taiwan could know about it, but in the end, Zheng Chenggong still gave up on negotiating with the Qing Dynasty.

In these eighteen years, Emperor Shun Zhi had ruled over the Forbidden City, and as one of the four great auxiliary authorities appointed by the Emperor, Su Kesaha ordered for the execution of all members of the Zheng's family that were imprisoned in the Yanjing to be carried out. Zheng Zhilong was executed on the spot in Ninggueta.

Zheng Zhilong had been executed, and Zheng Chenggong had paid respects to his admiral in the same month, when Zheng Chenggong had left for Taiwan's Dutchman. This was also the reason why Zheng's family was executed as a member of his race after Zheng Zhilong was sent off. When Zheng Chenggong left Taiwan, the political ministers of the Qing Dynasty quickly understood that the people of the Zheng Family were using the island as a base to constantly resist Qing Jun.

How could the Qing Dynasty allow such a thing to happen? So whether it was to frighten Zheng Chenggong or to warn the other surrendered Korean Army, Zheng Zhilong was definitely dead.

The Zheng Jiayan had already taken over the island of Anping by the middle of April. The number of Dutch garrison troops in Tainan had not increased, and there were still less than five thousand people. Zheng Chenggong led her subordinates and attacked Ta Nan first. The Dutch were defeated and in terms of numbers, Zheng Chenggong had the absolute advantage. And that year, because of the Zheng Family, many of the Han people who settled in Taiwan secretly told Zheng Chenggong about the Dutch people's situation.

This was also the second reason why Zheng Chenggong could quickly take over Ta Nan. After taking over Tainan, Zheng Chenggong began to recuperate, but it was not because of the rapid pace of pursuit. By May, Zheng Chenggong had taken over the Eastern Capital of Taiwan and changed the name of the Eastern City to the Sky Bearing Empire. So far, the entire island had been ruled by Zheng Chenggong. The people of Zheng Family began, the long journey to defeat Qing Jun and reverse the awakening of light.

Ever since the Hongguang Emperor was captured by the Qing Dynasty, King Duo Duo, in Yangzhou, Zheng Chenggong had been hiding in the southern part of the river and leading his subordinates to contend with the forces of the Qing Dynasty. After Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong gained importance from the Monarch Long Wu. In Emperor Long Wu's eyes, compared to Zheng Chenggong, the father, Zheng Zhilong was much more trusting.

Different from the reluctance or evasion that Zheng Zhilong had always shown, Zheng Chenggong was always active in reverting back to reality. So, the Monarch had always liked Zheng Chenggong. Not only did he bestow Zheng Chenggong with the surname of Zhu, he even bestowed him with the title of an official.

However, all of these developments were not beneficial to Zheng Chenggong. The nobility of the three provinces were enough to make Zheng Zhilong, a person with wealth and status, feel at ease, but Zheng Chenggong did not think so. Emperor Long Wu did not have much luck compared to Emperor Hong Guang. In just a short year, Emperor Long Wu was surrounded and annihilated by Qing Jun. Zheng Chenggong could only escape elsewhere, starting from the third year for Emperor Qing Shun Zhi to the eighteenth year for Shun Zhi, because he was dissatisfied with the Ladies's order to "leave no hair at all". More and more people joined in the struggle against the resurgence of light and light.

Zheng Chenggong was one of the most powerful teams among them. For many years, he stayed in Jiangnan, especially at the Fujian Golden Gate s. During the year of the Emperor, Zheng Chenggong had never given up on fighting against the Qing Dynasty s. Until after Shun Zhi had been around for eighteen years, Zheng Chenggong had listened to his advisor's advice and used Taiwan as his base. Only then would he have a place to store food.

In Pingdingfan, the Zheng Family took the opportunity to send troops from Fuan, Golden Gate and many others to occupy Quanzhou and other places along the coast. Back then, after Geng Jingzhong had betrayed them, he had used a letter to contact Zheng Jing, hoping that he would be able to send troops to capture Fu Jian. Afterwards, the cooperation between Geng Jingzhong and himself had always been harmonious. At one point, Geng Jingzhong believed that Zheng Jing's forces were too small, it was difficult for him to achieve great feats. At this time, the conflict between the two teams intensified. On the other hand, later on, when Emperor Kang Xi received the news.
