1645 (the second year of Qing Shunzhi, the first year), the Qing army invaded Jiangnan, and soon Zheng Zhilong fell to the Qing Dynasty, and Tian committed suicide in the disorderly army; Zheng Chenggong led his father's headquarters to fight against the Qing Dynasty on the southeast coast of China, and became one of the main military forces in the late Ming Dynasty. At one time, jiangning house (formerly Nanjing in Ming Dynasty) was surrounded by a sea raid, but it was finally repelled by the Qing army, so it could only rely on the advantages of naval warfare to hold on to Xiamen, Jinmen and other islands in Quanzhou.
16 1 year (18th year of Qing Shunzhi, 15th year), led the troops across the Taiwan Province Strait, defeated the troops of the Dutch East India Company in Taiwan Province Province (now Tainan City, Taiwan Province Province) the following year, recovered Taiwan Province Province, and opened Zheng's rule in Taiwan Province Province.

Zheng Chenggong is the son of Zheng Zhilong, Lao Tzu Qing, and his son is fighting! Entering the Yangtze River from the coast, the enemy came to Nanjing to confront the Qing Dynasty, and the southeast half of the city did it one brace up. A corner of the south of the Yangtze River was suddenly enlightened, but the veteran was defeated by Xiamen.
As it happens, "Dutch general manager He Bin fled the mainland with negative taxes and took the initiative to seek Taiwan Province Province". This Mr. He Bin, a former subordinate of Zheng Zhilong, went to Taiwan Province Province with Zheng, then stayed in Taiwan Province Province to study Dutch, and worked as a Dutch general manager. It is said that the Dutch asked him to collect taxes. He took the tax money and ran to the mainland to find Zheng Chenggong, urging Zheng Chenggong to win Taiwan Province Province first and then plan the Central Plains.
Zheng Chenggong accepted He Bin's suggestion to take back China's sea power, because there is no hope of taking back this country for the time being.
During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Spanish slaughtered overseas Chinese, but Zheng Shizhen crossed the China Sea. Who dared to slaughter overseas Chinese? In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zheng Zhilong drifted between Fuming and Jiang Qing, relaxing the supervision of sea power, so the Spanish took the opportunity to slaughter overseas Chinese again, this time killing about 30 thousand people.
Overseas Chinese power is a part of China's folk sea power, and its growth means the expansion of China's folk sea power. During the Zheng Dynasty, the basis of China's folk sea power was not only in the southeast coast, but also in Nanyang.
Zheng Chenggong expelled the Dutch from the provinces and islands, then sent envoys to Luzon (now the Philippines), submitted credentials to the Spanish governor, condemned the massacre, and informed overseas Chinese, contacted Jia Bidan, the overseas Chinese leader, cut off trade with Luzon, and mobilized troops to prepare for the capture of Luzon; The intention was to occupy Taiwan Province Province first, then Luzon, then Karoba (present-day Java) and control the Straits of Taiwan Province Province and Malacca.
Then unite with Japan and recover China. The poor soldiers and horses did not move, and the hero collapsed first. Such a great dream of sea power is unfortunately not "successful". Zheng Jing, the son of Zheng Chenggong, strongly supported the isolated Taiwan Province Province, when Taiwan Province was surrounded by the Manchu Dynasty and western powers.
If Zheng Chenggong's dream can be "successful", it can not only "expel the Tatars and restore China", but also make China become a sea power as early as17th century. It's a pity that his dream went with him and he didn't inherit it.
