Chapter 114 Section 8 "Guo Xing Ye"

Half of Zheng Jun's bloodliness comes from Zheng Chenggong's own bloodliness. It is said in history that Zheng Chenggong was "resolute and resolute, which was passed down from his mother".Zheng Chenggong's Japanese mother is courageous and knowledgeable, with a strong temperament.On the day when Zheng Zhilong came down in hope of the wind, Tian Chuan refused to go with him.When the Qing army invaded Anping, members of the Zheng family fled one after another. The Tianchuan family "holding a sword and refused to go." It is conceivable how much influence such a mother will have on Zheng Chenggong.This Japanese woman has a very strict family education, and she is particularly concerned about the growth of Zheng Chenggong's moral character. "He received the Japanese-style education from his mother, Tagawa, and also received the Bushido education and the 'two-sword style' (created by the Japanese warrior Miyamoto Musashi) swordsmanship from the Japanese samurai flower house arranged by his father Zheng Zhilong before he left Japan."

Zheng Zhilong later surrendered to the Ming government and became a senior naval officer with both wealth and glory.He continued to run his business empire semi-publicly while bringing back seven-year-old Zheng Chenggong from Japan.Zheng Zhilong attaches great importance to this eldest son and provides him with educational conditions that ordinary people cannot match. Zheng Chenggong's celestial appearance was originally very outstanding. After systematic education in both civil and military aspects, the extraordinary appearance of this young man attracted the attention of people around him.Many predicted a great future for the young man.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong's friend Wang Guanguang saw Zheng Chenggong, he said to Zheng Zhilong: "This son's beauty is beyond my reach." Uncle Zheng Hongkui also repeatedly touched Zheng Chenggong's head and said: "This is my family's thousand-mile horse." According to historical records, Zheng Chenggong was both civil and military during his studies. "In addition to crafting, you can dance with swords and shoot, and the poems and sentences of Chu are special things." The son of the warlord grew up into a beautiful man with a handsome face.Huang Zongxi said that he was "beautiful and bright, and a man of great beauty".

Entering Nanjing Guozijian at the age of 22, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the literary world, was delighted at the first sight, saying his article: "The tone is clear and clear, not vulgar. It is a genius for a young man to get this." "It is a great vessel, because it is given another word 'big wood'." The superior family background, outstanding talent and smooth growth experience have cultivated Zheng Chenggong's strong self-confidence, sense of superiority and aristocratic spirit.In the process of receiving traditional Chinese education, he "likes the Spring and Autumn Period, and also loves Sun Wu", prefers to read the Spring and Autumn Stories, appreciates the heroic temperament of the Spring and Autumn Characters who are bold and magnanimous, daring to do things, promises, and sacrifices life and righteousness, and worships his grandson , Wu Qi, these heroes who strategized, won thousands of miles, and changed the future and destiny of the empire with superhuman courage and wisdom. "Youth's thoughts should be clouded."

The mother's strong character inheritance and the ideal personality design of traditional Confucian education made the young Zheng Chenggong full of idealistic expectations for his life.Although his writing style is chic and his calligraphy is outstanding, he never expects himself to be a scholar.Faced with the chaotic state of the world since the end of Ming Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong had an intuition that he would play an important role on this stage. In the first year of Longwu in the Southern Ming Dynasty (AD 1645), Zheng Zhilong introduced the 21-year-old Zheng Chenggong to Emperor Longwu.Emperor Longwu was overjoyed to see that he was personable, a man of talent, fluent in his answers, radiant with heroism. "Fu Sen said on his back: 'I hate that I have no daughters and wives.' So he gave the surname and the name 'Success'", "act in the order of a son-in-law".

When the Qing army went south, his mother was forced by the Qing army to commit suicide by caesarean section. Hearing the news, Zheng Chenggong was so distressed that he hurried back to Anping to take care of his mother's funeral. On the same day, "bringing the clothes and towels I was wearing, I burned them in the Confucian Temple in Nan'an, booed to the sky, and said: 'I was a child in the past, but now I am a lonely minister. I would like to thank the Confucianism for the clothes, only the teacher's lessons!" More than 90 people including Hui Hui and Hong Xu sent troops to Nan'ao and got thousands of people."

From then on, Zheng Chenggong "served Gushuo as a single person, and the heroes of the islands surrendered to his restraint; he migrated to five provinces to avoid the sharp edge. And when the defeated army was breathing, he was able to calm down and fight fiercely. Then, he opened up overseas."All his life, he "was in a hopeless situation and got an unprecedented situation. With the power of his mantis arms, he criss-crossed the enemy, chasing red barbarians across the sea, opening up thousands of miles of land, and being the only one with outstanding achievements."Throughout his life, Zheng Chenggong "knowingly couldn't do it", leaving a chapter of heroism in the depressing history of the late Ming Dynasty.
