Empress Xiaozhao

Cai Shansan accepted the tour guide and became a member of the Fujian navy. Cai Shisan had been arranged by the Fujian Patrol Officer to be used among the sailors. Cai Shisan had led his subordinates to join the navy team to fight off the pirates and the Dutchman. Cai Zongsheng was highly valued. To Zheng Zhilong, this was undoubtedly very good news.

Thus, when Zheng Zhilong accepted the invitation, he no longer had any qualms. Zheng Zhilong then organized his subordinates, and under the request of the Fujian Patrol Officer, he led his subordinates to fight against the pirates and the Dutchman, who were running amok in the Taiwan Strait. With his outstanding manpower and his advantage in numbers, Zheng Zhilong had defeated the Dutchman and the other pirates that year.

Relying on the resources he had seized as a pirate, Zheng Zhilong quickly became the richest man in Quanzhou, dominating a region. And as the hero who defeated the Dutchman, Zheng Zhilong obtained the sea power from Fujian to Taiwan, then to Penghu and even to the mainland. Ever since Zheng He left the Western Ocean, the matter of sailing had gradually been abandoned by the other emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Hence, the Dutchman was no longer satisfied, paying Zheng Zhilong as a protection fee, in order to pass. The Dutchman wanted to find someone else to replace Zheng Zhilong. It was just that after many wars and battles, Zheng Zhilong's power had not weakened in the slightest. On the contrary, it caused Zheng Zhilong's team to become even stronger. The Dutchman persevered and joined forces with others, wanting to replace Zheng Zhilong. It was just that the communication between the Dutchman and the other pirates was not very smooth.

Zheng Zhilong's wealth had surged for many years, forming a stark contrast with the imperial government. The Dutch could not defeat Zheng Zhilong, but could only always be defeated by him. All the Dutchmen had to give in in the end, and the Zhu clan of the Ming dynasty had no way to stop this, because the drought in the north, especially in northern Shaanxi, had not yet abated. The amount of debt the imperial government owed for disaster relief was less than a point.

If the officials did not act, the people would complain. Outside the northern Yan Jing City, which was only a few hundred kilometers away, the female True Clan could contact the Mongolian to prevent themselves from dying. Ming Sizong has long been out of reach, especially for Taiwan. If Zheng Zhilong could properly keep Taiwan in his hands, then wasn't it a very good thing for Ming Si Sect?

Just like that, with the tacit approval of the imperial government, Zheng Zhilong obtained the hegemony of the entire Southern Ocean region.

Other than East Ocean's Japan, there was also the Southern Ocean's Lu Song Island, Old Harbor and many other places that Zheng Zhilong lived in. And other than the pirates that followed Zheng Zhilong himself all those years ago, Zheng Zhilong had always understood that the reason he could never be defeated was because he had enough manpower and troops. Other than the pirates who came earlier, Zheng Zhilong had been expanding his team's composition to include the Koreans, the pirates, the people from the South Island, and some powerful black people.

Zheng Zhilong had always been developing and strengthening. From a few hundred to a few thousand, to the current domineering force of over ten thousand, from a few hundred to a few thousand, to three thousand ships of different sizes and sizes. Zheng Zhilong's fleet was something many people couldn't even compare to. Ming Si Sect knew of Zheng Zhilong's ambition, but they were still emperors in the end.

After Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutchman again, Ming Si Sect gave Zheng Zhilong a letter of edict on the grounds that the pirates in the vicinity of Fujian were rampant, and ordered Zheng Zhilong to lead the navy to eliminate the pirates in Fujian. Other than Zheng Zhilong, the most outstanding member of the Southern Ocean forces, Liu Xiang. Ming Si Sect did not know that Zheng Zhilong's fleet was strong enough to the point that Zheng Zhilong had completely annihilated Liu Xiang's forces in the Tiger Sect.

After this battle with the Tigers, Zheng Zhilong's reputation once again rose rapidly. Ming Si Sect could only pacify Zheng Zhilong and bestow him with the position of an official, admitting him as the governor of Fujian Province. The position of governor, in the three kingdoms, is the official title of General Zhou Yu, although he is only a Fujian governor. But it could still be seen that Zheng Zhilong was still in Fujian and the Ming emperor's heart. He must also be a person who could make others fear him. If not, he would not have fought against Nu Erhachi again, suspecting Yuan Chonghuan and causing the Great Ming Dynasty's troops to be defeated like mountains.

In the eyes of the Ming Si Sect, Zheng Zhilong was definitely not a trustworthy person.

Chongzhen three years in the north of Shaanxi spread drought, all the way south to the east of the Yangtze River Fujian. There was no rain in the whole of Fujian Province, and in the small heat of the summer, there was no sign of the rain at all. The Fujian drought made the people complain, and the government couldn't rescue them. By the second half of the year, the whole field had no harvest. A majority of Fujian's population fell into poverty, and Zheng Zhilong's military scholars recommended that Fujian's citizens be relocated to Taiwan.

At this time, the Dutchman was already intimidated by Zheng Zhilong's use of force. That was why the Dutchman on Taiwan still existed but had to give Zheng Zhilong some face. The Dutch were only defending 2000 people in the whole of Tainan City, but with the help of Zheng Zhilong's ship, almost 10,000 people moved to other parts of Taiwan.

How could a person who had received Zheng Zhilong's favor not think of the hand Zheng Zhilong had extended to help at this time? In Taiwan, the Zheng Family were like emperors. There was no Zheng's family without Taiwan.

Not only did Zheng Zhilong control the business of Nan Yang, he also established a trade relationship between the entire southern part of Fujian and the island. In this state, the Dechuan Mansion was run by the same bureaucracy as the The Ming Dynasty. Zheng Zhilong did not allow anyone other than Dong Zhou to stay on his own island. He had already married the daughter of one of the officials of the Dechuan Mansion. Compared to the others, Zheng Zhilong was even more popular in the Mu Manor.

In addition to opening up the port to Zheng Zhilong, the Dutch had defeated the Spaniards to rule the region south of Taiwan, bringing the Taiwanese men closer to Honshu. So the Dutch have a chance to trade in the ports of Honshu. Only, it still could not compare to Zheng Zhilong's trust. Zheng Zhilong relied on the commercial transactions between the Mu Clan and the protection fees of the entire Southern Ocean Region. The accumulation of wealth was increasing at a visible rate.

Chong Zhen for thirteen years, Huang Taiji had led his men to take over Jin Zhou, while the Ming Dynasty's main army general surrendered to Huang Taiji. At this point, the troops of the Great Ming Dynasty retreated and defended the Mountain Customs. Once Huang Taiji attacked the Mountain Customs forcefully, the entire country of the The Ming Dynasty would be destroyed.

The Ming Dynasty was destroyed. The Ming Sect hanged itself from the coal mountain to bury the dead for the The Ming Dynasty. It had only been forty-one days since Li Zi Cheng took over the Yanjing. Because there was no rule and because of the internal conflict between the rebel army, the Dashang army entered the Yanjing arrogantly. However, one month later, due to the betrayal of the Mountain Customs, the Great Qing entered the from there, while Li Zi Cheng escaped from there.

The death of the The Ming Dynasty did not affect Zheng Zhilong's position in Fujian. On the contrary, it was because Zheng Zhilong had the authority, wealth and military power. Thus, for the fugitive south to establish Nanming to continue fighting against the Qing Dynasty, the Zhu Dynasty had to rely even more on Zheng Chenggong. Emperor Hongguang Nanming conferred Zheng Zhilong the title of Count Nan'an and guarded Fujian. Responsible for the whole province of Fujian.

The Great Qing marched south, but the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty were not stable at all, instead, there were endless battles going on. In the end, Zheng Zhilong supported the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to ascend the throne, while the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascended the throne as the Emperor of the Empire. This was because from being conferred the title of Duke of Nan An, it was a benefit of Zheng Zhilong's political game.
