Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan Province Province, also known as the battle of Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan Province Province, refers to the event that Zheng Chenggong, the general of Nanming, expelled the Dutch colonists who stole Taiwan Province Province and recovered the treasure island of Taiwan Province Province in A.D. 16 1 year.
Zheng Jun controversy.
1659 (13th year of Qing Li Yong and 16th year of Shunzhi), Zheng succeeded in attacking Nanking with 100,000 troops, and returned in a fiasco. Zheng Jun was severely weakened, and Zheng Chenggong felt that the rule of the Qing Dynasty was gradually stabilized. However, Zheng Jun was trapped in Siming (Xiamen) and lacked food and grass, making it difficult to supply tens of thousands of troops. He began to think about getting another base area to make up for it.
1660 in March (the 14th spring of Qing Dynasty and 17th year of Shunzhi), He Bin, a former Dutch envoy, fled to Siming because of a debt dispute with the Dutch, claiming to seize Taiwan Province Province to Zheng Chenggong.
He said: "Taiwan Province Province is a real overlord's area thousands of miles away. If you get this place, you can dominate the whole country; If you farm, you can eat. Up to Keelung, fresh water, nitrate, sulfur. Moreover, the copper and iron of the mast and rudder are not needed for crossing the ocean, making external contacts, buying and selling ships. In the meantime, the soldiers who transferred to towns were born for ten years and educated for ten years. But the country can be rich, the soldiers can be strong, and the attack can be retreated, which is really enough to compete with China. "
At the same time, a map of Taiwan is presented to explain the situation of aborigines and the changes of waterways. He Bin emphasized that Taiwan Province Province has abundant grain and military supplies, an ideal trade position and natural disasters in the Straits, which are urgently needed by Zheng Jun, which made Zheng Chenggong very moved. But at that time, Zheng Jun was preparing to resist the attack of the Qing general Dasu, so the discussion of attacking Taiwan was put on hold for the time being.
In June (May) of the same year, Dasu led tens of thousands of troops to capture Xiamen, and Zheng Chenggong lured the other side to a decisive battle at sea, repelled them and revived their military strength.
166 1 February (the fifteenth year of Li Yong, the eighteenth year of Shunzhi), Zheng Chenggong ordered the overhaul of the ship, went out to war, and called the generals to discuss the attack on Taiwan. However, the generals did not agree with the plan. Although I dare not object loudly, I am reluctant in many ways. Only Wu Hao, a general who has been to Taiwan Province Province, said, "Feng Shui is indispensable, and soil and water are sickly", and "Shallow harbor is difficult to enter".
Huang Ting, a former magistrate, echoed Wu Hao's views, but was refuted by Zheng Chenggong. General Ma Xin tried to break away from convention and proposed to send an army to visit first. If it is desirable, the army will follow up immediately, and if the Dutch defense is strong, we will discuss it again.
Chen Yonghua also agrees with Ma Xin. At this time, Yang Chaodong, an assistant military attache in Zhong Jun, pondered the idea and made remarks in support of attacking Taiwan. Zheng Chenggong heard the news and decided to send troops.
