Chen Yonghua, the most important civil servant after the Zheng Group entered Taiwan, recognized Zheng Chenggong as "the Wolong of today" and even asked Zheng Jing, who was only a few years younger than him, to treat him as a teacher.

During the Zheng Jing period, Chen Yonghua was the administrative head of the Zheng Group in Taiwan, and was also in charge of the army. He was even called the prime minister of the Zheng Dongning Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty by many people. He also made great achievements in running the place and greatly improved the country's economy.

Taiwan's economic and cultural level has been praised by later generations. Moreover, this Chen Yonghua, who is only twelve or thirteen years old now, will become the prototype of Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of the Tiandihui.

If you don't know Chen Jinnan, it's useless to call him a hero!

If that's all, that's it. After all, it's not like Chen Kai has never met any celebrities. Isn't Zheng Chenggong more famous, more admired and deplored than Chen Yonghua? But more importantly, when Chen Kai realizes that this young man is

After Chen Yonghua, the floodgates of memory suddenly opened, and he suddenly recalled the war next year and the outcome of some people he had met recently.

In 1648 AD, on the tenth day of April in the second year of Yongli, Zheng Chenggong led Lin Xishan, Gan Hui and other generals to invade Tong'an County in the west of Quanzhou Prefecture by land and water. The Qing army came out of the city to fight, but was defeated by the Ming army. More than half of them were damaged, and the remaining troops retreated into the city. Arrived.

The next day, Zheng Chenggong led his troops to directly capture the county seat.

After taking Tong'an County, Zheng Chenggong appointed Ye Yiyun, a Jinshi, as the magistrate of Tong'an County, and Chen Ding, an elected official, as the magistrate of Tong'an County. He ordered Qiu Jin, Lin Zhuangyou, Jin Zuoyu and other generals to garrison the city.

Capturing Tong'an County was the first step in the strategy. However, Fujian suffered from continuous wars, and this province was already a province with very low grain output. As a result, due to the lack of local grain, Zheng Chenggong had to lead his army to move to Dongshan Island.

On the one hand, it was to alleviate the local food shortage, and on the other hand, it was to find ways to go to Guangdong to prepare food and grass. In addition, it was also due to waiting for the imperial edict of the Yongli court, which was already a secondary reason.

However, in July, most of the anti-Qing uprisings in central and northern Fujian were suppressed by the Qing army, and the army went straight to Tong'an. The siege lasted for more than a month, and the envoys seeking help could not come out for a long time. By the time Zheng Chenggong got the news, it was already August.

In mid-August, the city of Tong'an fell. The defenders Qiu Jin, Lin Zhuangyou, and Jin Zuoyu all entered the street fighting with the Qing army and died in the battle. The magistrate Ye Yiyun and others were captured, refused to surrender, and died calmly. Chen Ding was instructed to serve in Minglun.

He hanged himself in the hall. During this battle, the Qing army massacred the city, and blood flowed into the ditches. About 50,000 people died unfortunately, and it was known as the Tong'an Massacre in history.

As for the reinforcements led by Zheng Chenggong, due to the prevailing north wind on the road, their speed was affected. The journey was only about 300 miles or 100 nautical miles. Under normal circumstances, it could be reached in about one day. In the end, it took a full five days.

They barely arrived at Kinmen Island. By that time, Tong'an City had already fallen, and all Zheng Chenggong and his soldiers could do was to pay homage to the heroes in Kinmen.

Tongan bloody ditch!

In that battle, 50,000 people died under the butcher's knife of the Qing army. Zheng Chenggong lost a lot of the strength he had managed to accumulate in the first two years of his army, and almost returned to the state before attacking Quanzhou.

Even if I don't talk about this, it is just Chen Ding. Through recent interactions, Chen Kai has also determined that this person is a comrade who can become a close friend. Such a good person should not be alone and commit suicide in Tong'an County.

In Minglun Hall. Although sacrifice is unavoidable, if possible, people like Chen Ding should still live to see the day when the Tartars are expelled. Even if they die on that day, they will still be spared the "family sacrifice without forgetting report"

"Weng" regret.

After leaving the main town hall, Chen Kai, Chen Ding, Chen Yonghua and his son took their boys and servants all the way to Lu Xiufu's tomb. Lu Xiufu himself was actually from Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, which in the Ming Dynasty was Yancheng County in Huai'an Prefecture, South Zhili.

He and Wen Tianxiang, another civil official among the three outstanding figures in the late Song Dynasty, were actually Jinshi in the same ranking.

Under the general background of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, individual choices were different. For example, Chen Yizhong went into exile to occupy the city, and Liu Mengyan dedicated himself to serving the Yuan Dynasty. But there were also heroes like Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, and Zhang Shijie who were unyielding until death. Just like today

Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan, Li Laiheng and those who like them fought bloody battles to restore the Han Dynasty, this is the backbone of the Chinese nation!

On the way to Lu Xiufu's tomb, what was on his mind was more about next year's Tong'an Massacre. With all these thoughts in his mind, Chen Kai's ease of sightseeing was no longer there. This pressure was really unbearable.

It was so light that I felt a little dazed along the way. However, when I arrived at Lu Xiufu's tomb, Chen Ding had written a memorial in advance, and Chen Kai also prepared a large sacrifice, and made a promise to restore the Han Dynasty in front of Lu Xiufu's tomb.

The ambition of a family.

On the way back, Chen Kai was still as restless as when he went there. During the daily interactions, Chen Ding understood this situation to mean that he was still thinking about the weapons workshop and could not play with peace of mind.

He tried to persuade Chen Kaiyi or two on the grounds that "the weapons workshop system has been established".

In response to this, Chen Kai just responded with a wry smile. He knew very well that it was not him who should be comforted, but Chen Ding, Ye Yiyun and other civilian and military generals, who were the 50,000 dead souls in Tong'an County!

However, even if it was just to comfort him, he couldn't do it at all, because he couldn't explain to Zheng Chenggong and Chen Ding how he predicted the tragedy in Tong'an. Even if they could believe it, they would not do it because of it.

And gave up the recovery and persistence of the lost territory. And the failure was the general trend of the deterioration of the strategic environment at that time. Even if it was predicted in advance, it could not be reversed in the face of the absolute power gap.

Returning to the main town hall in a daze, Chen Kai finally thought about it all clearly with a huge sense of powerlessness. Before leaving, he half-crouched in front of Chen Yonghua, stretched out his hand to touch the young man's forehead, and there was something on his face.

It's the color of love and affection that ripples through it.

"Brother Shangtu, I like your son very much. It's a pity that I have no children or daughters. Otherwise, men could be brothers and women could be married. It would be a great regret in life." At this point, Chen Kai couldn't help but sigh.

, but before Chen Ding had a chance to comfort him, Chen Kai said seriously: "I have a presumptuous request, and I dare to ask Brother Shangtu to grant it."

With that said, Chen Kai bowed to the end. Chen Ding could not help but be stunned for a while, but he immediately responded and helped Chen Kai up with both hands.

"Brother, you and I have the same aspirations. We can just speak up if we have anything to say. Why do we have to do this?"

"My younger brother wants to recognize your son as his adopted son, is it possible?"

It all depends on manpower, and he will try his best to try to rewrite the history of the Tongan Massacre. Along the way, Chen Kai has made up his mind and will not allow any wavering. However, manpower is sometimes poor. If things really fail, he can only do it on his behalf.
