Chapter 1386 Looting more than 9 yuan of gold and counting jewels

In order to maintain long-term rule, the literary inquisition became a phenomenon-level punishment that occurred from time to time during the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

As long as it is interpreted as dissatisfaction with the government, the author will suffer.

It can be seen from this that although it was in power, there was always a shadow lingering in the hearts of the Manchu government, that is, the lack of confidence in the legitimacy of its own ruling position.

As visitors from outside the customs, these Eight Banners have a noble stomach in the Central Plains, and it is difficult to find a sense of identity, even though they have ruled the Han people for many years.

However, what should come will come sooner or later. Although the Qing government strictly supervised the Han people, the people still set up large and small resistance organizations, trying to drive them outside the customs.

These non-governmental organizations often use the banner of the third prince Zhu, and the leaders show themselves as descendants of the Ming Dynasty to arouse people's nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty and strengthen cohesion.

Therefore, for a long time, the third prince Zhu was like a ghost, making the Manchu government restless.

The second is the Tiandihui. Unlike many organizations, although the Tiandihui also aims to expel the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, it does not rely on the people's nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Tiandihui did not use the descendants of the Ming royal family as a way to gather the congregation, but used ethnic conflicts as the starting point.

Judging from the development of things later, this approach of Tiandihui is more effective.

The reason is that the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed for a long time, and it is really meaningless to restore a dynasty that has perished.

But ethnic conflicts are visible to the naked eye.

The world of the Han people should be decided by the Han people.

Because of this, Tiandihui has achieved long-term and stable development among the people.

During that period, they were so powerful that they became the confidant of the Manchu Qing government.

Among many film and television works, Tiandihui is a very important existence, and it appears as an image of justice incarnate.

According to relevant records, the founder of Tiandihui was Chen Yonghua, who was Zheng Chenggong's military adviser.

After Zheng Chenggong's death, Wanwan was no longer able to contend with the Qing government.

So Chen Yonghua sneaked into the inland and secretly founded the Tiandihui.

But he took a famous pseudonym for himself: Chen Jinnan.

As a result, Mr. Chen has since stepped onto the stage of history and played an important role in many film and television works.

The Tiandihui was not only extremely influential at the time, as the so-called "red flowers, green leaves and white lotus root", the Hongmen, the Green Gang and the White Lotus Sect were all gangs derived from the Tiandihui.

With the wealth accumulated by Zheng Chenggong, Chen Jinnan has absolute economic strength.

So how much wealth did Zheng Chenggong have during his time?

Chen Wenzhe didn't know about the others. He knew about an incident that happened in the fifth year of Yongli. From this incident, it can be seen from the side how rich Zheng Chenggong is.

It was 1651 A.D., Zhang Xuesheng, the governor of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty, and others took advantage of the opportunity of Zheng Chenggong's main force to go south to Guangdong Province, and sent troops to capture Xiamen City.

However, when they returned victorious, not only did they not receive awards from the Qing court, but they were dismissed from their official posts and escorted to the capital for trial.

What's going on here?Let's start with the huge wealth of Zheng Chenggong they plundered.

After Zheng Chenggong's father surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he led his cronies to Nan'ao Island to recruit soldiers and swear to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

...

After that, he vigorously developed foreign trade, and accumulated huge wealth in a few years.

Zheng Chenggong, who has a small territory, snatched Xiamen City from Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers in Yongli four years as his base.

Later, most of the wealth was transferred to Xiamen City, which was used to recruit anti-Qing forces from all over the coast.

After the rapid growth of strength, the supply of food and grass is in short supply.

To solve this problem, Zheng Chenggong sent his uncle Zheng Hongkui to collect grain and grass in the Chaoshi area.

Due to the large number of collections, the local people were dissatisfied and resisted.

What's more terrible is that the Qing army occupying Guangdong Province also took the opportunity to attack.

For a while, Zheng Hongkui fell into a dilemma, so he had to send someone to Zheng Chenggong for help.

After receiving the call for help, Zheng Chenggong left his uncle Zheng Zhiguan to guard Xiamen City, and personally led the main force to go south to Guangdong Province to support Zheng Hongkui.

In March of the fifth year of Yongli, Zheng Chenggong conquered Daxingsuo and other places, and seized the accumulated grain and grass.

The news of Zheng Chenggong's main force's departure spread to Hu Jian. The Qing court Hu Jian's governor Zhang Xuesheng, inspector Huang Shu, and Hu Jian's right-hand soldier Ma Degong were overjoyed and decided to use this heaven-sent opportunity to surprise Xiamen City.

The three of them were so active in attacking Xiamen City, not because they were so loyal to the Qing court, but because they had their own little calculations.

They had heard for a long time that Zheng Chenggong had made a huge amount of wealth through trading, and the money had already been transported to Xiamen City.

When they attacked Xiamen City, they could not only show their loyalty to the Qing court in order to increase their ranks, but also take Zheng Chenggong's wealth as their own.

After the discussion between the three, Ma Degong led the Qing army to cross the sea and attack Xiamen City on February [-]th.

Zheng Zhiwan, who was guarding Xiamen City, was an idiot who drank and had fun all day without taking any precautions. As a result, the defenders and navy of Xiamen City were easily defeated by the Qing army.

What's even more hateful is that when Zheng Zhiwan knew that the Qing army was attacking, he immediately boarded a boat and fled, not even taking Zheng Chenggong's wife Dong and his son Zheng Jing with him in Xiamen City.

When the Qing army entering the city was busy looting, Dong escaped from Xiamen City in a small boat with Zheng Jing in his arms, and boarded Zheng Zhiwan's warship.

After the fall of Xiamen City, almost all of the wealth that Zheng Chenggong transferred to the city fell into the hands of Ma Degong, and a small amount was snatched by Qing soldiers.

After Ma Degong succeeded, he sent his confidants to send a letter to Zhang Xuesheng and Huang Shu, asking them to come to Xiamen to discuss the aftermath. In fact, the three of them shared the spoils.

How much did the three share?According to Zheng Chenggong's letter to his father afterwards, he said: "Plundered more than [-] yuan of my gold, hundreds of thousands of jewels, and hundreds of thousands of rice millet.

While the three were dividing up Zheng Chenggong's property, the Qing soldiers were not idle either. They plundered from house to house and plundered all the people in Xiamen City.

After finishing the work, Zhang Xuesheng and Huang Shu returned to Hu Jian with their property, leaving Ma Degong to defend Xiamen City.

The news of the fall of Xiamen City spread to Guangdong Province, and Zheng Chenggong was shocked.

Worried about what might happen to their relatives, the soldiers under his command persuaded Zheng Chenggong to return to the teacher immediately.

Zheng Chenggong ordered Zheng Hongkui to lead part of the troops back to Shixia City first, and then lead the main force to follow up.

Zheng Hongkui besieged Xiamen City and trapped Ma Degong in the city.

Ma Degong's liver and gallbladder were torn, and he hurriedly sent someone to ask the governor for help.

Zhang Xuesheng immediately sent Feng Junrui, a general of Zhang City, leading 600 troops to support, but was blocked by Zheng Hongkui's subordinates and could not enter Xiamen City.

Ma Degong was desperate and had a whim.

He sent someone to intercede with Huang Shi, Zheng Chenggong's grandmother who lived in Anhai, and asked her to come forward to let Zheng Hongkui withdraw the siege and let him go back to Hujian.

The Huang family lived in the area controlled by the Qing court, and did not dare to violate the wishes of the Qing army, so they wrote to Zheng Hongkui to intercede.

Zheng Hongkui did not dare to dismiss his mother's face, so he ordered the withdrawal of the siege, and sent more than [-] ships to send Ma Degong and his subordinates back to Hu Jian.
