Why did Kangxi kill Shi Lang?

Shi Lang was a strategist in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Born in 162 1, died in 1696 at the age of 75. Zunhou, whose real name is Zhuo Gong, was originally the department of Zheng Zhilong, and was later recruited by Zheng Chenggong to fight against the rulers of Qing Dynasty with Zheng Chenggong. He followed Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong successively. After the Qing Dynasty, he was appointed as the deputy commander of Tongan of the Qing army, and was soon promoted to Tongan company commander and Fujian navy prefect. He led troops to Tongan, Haicheng and Xiamen successively to participate in the Qing army's attack on Zheng Jun. In A.D. 1683, he accepted Kangxi's order and led the army across the sea to unify Taiwan Province Province. There has been a great controversy about Shi Lang in later generations. Some people think that he is a traitor, and some people think that what he has done is conducive to the reunification of the motherland. What kind of person Zheng Chenggong is, we might as well start from the source of his controversy. The key question is, Shi Lang, why did he fall?

Shi Lang followed Zheng Zhilong in his early years and later retired with Zheng Zhilong. After Zheng Zhilong's death, he was recruited by his son Zheng Chenggong and joined Zheng Chenggong's maritime anti-Qing team, becoming the youngest, most knowledgeable and most effective soldier under Zheng Chenggong. From here, we know that Shi Lang has fallen not only once. But for the first time, it was obvious that he just followed his general, which didn't mean he wanted to. Otherwise, he would not immediately switch to the camp of the son of the old Lord to fight against the Qing army.

At this rate, Shi Lang should have followed Zheng Chenggong through his life. Why did he choose to settle for the second time? The Great Wall was not built in a day, nor were contradictions accumulated in a day. As early as A.D. 165 1 year, Shi Lang was extremely dissatisfied with Zheng Chenggong's strategy of "keeping water as land and raising wages by plundering" and raised objections.

In this way, Zheng Chenggong was very unhappy, cut the military power, and let Shi Lang return to Xiamen as an idle worker. At that time, it happened that the Qing army attacked Xiamen, but Zheng Zhiguan, the main force of the city guard, panicked and abandoned the city. Only Shi Lang fought bravely, led more than 60 people around him to fight bravely against the Qing army, and killed Ma Degong, the younger brother of the Qing army. Ma Degong was almost captured alive, and the defeated soldiers fled Xiamen hastily. In order to defend the success of the mansion, Zheng Chenggong rewarded the resistance generals, but deliberately "forgot" Shi Lang, which made Shi Lang extremely dissatisfied.

With the occurrence of various events, small contradictions were stimulated into big contradictions, and finally broke out under the stimulation of a fuse. This fuse is Shi Lang Qin Bing Zende. Zeng De once committed a capital crime, fled to Zheng Chenggong's place, and was promoted to confidant. Shi Lang retakes Zeng De and is ready to accept punishment. When Zheng heard the news, he sent someone to convey the order. Shi Lang must not kill Zeng De. Shi Lang said, "I dare not break the law. How can people who break the law escape responsibility? " Then ordered the killing of Zend. Shi Lang's killing of Zeng De was a challenge to Zheng Chenggong's authority, which made Zheng Chenggong very angry. So he ordered Shi Lang and his son to be arrested. Later, Shi Lang tricked him into escaping. Zheng Chenggong was furious and killed his father, Daxuan, and his younger brother, Shixian. At this time, there is no way out in Zheng Chenggong's place. The only thing that can avenge him and protect his safety is the Qing army. It was under such circumstances that Shi Lang surrendered to the Qing court.

Whether Shi Lang is a traitor or not is actually difficult to judge. At that time, all ethnic groups except the Han nationality were not orthodox. The Qing Dynasty was ruled by Manchu. At that time, the anti-Qing forces were still very strong, and Shi Lang was definitely a traitor. He helped foreigners attack the Han nationality, and no matter what the reason, he could not erase his sin of betraying the nation.

But in today's Qing Dynasty and people's eyes, Shi Lang really didn't reach the level of traitors. In the eyes of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, Shi Lang recovered Taiwan Province Province, which was a great hero, and he would never be labeled as a traitor.

Today, Shi Lang's actions are actually beneficial to the reunification of the motherland. Shi Lang minimized the loss of recovering Taiwan Province province. If a Manchu general came, the people of Taiwan Province Province at that time would certainly suffer. Most importantly, Shi Lang didn't stick to personal grudges and didn't retaliate against the Zheng family. After his death, "the two islands and eight people are all virtuous", which has always been praised. /kloc-In the 20th century, there was a workshop called Jinghaihou, in which Yang Yi assisted Kangxi's poem "A general can spread his power, and the southern dynasties were full of romantic feelings", and Tongan and other places set up "Brilliant Copper Pillars", "Zepu Nantian", "Towering Trees" and "Zepei Gan Tang". So judging whether Shi Lang is a traitor is not a matter of one or two reasons. I think this is the reason why this person is controversial.
