With the war just around the corner, Emperor Kangxi made another effort for peaceful reunification and sent personnel to Taiwan for help. Zheng Keshuang stubbornly said: "Please follow the example of Ryukyu, North Korea and other foreign countries and pay tribute, don't shave your hair and don't want land." Emperor Kangxi insisted that Taiwan Province Province is the territory of China and flatly refused: "The thieves in Taiwan Province Province were originally from Fujian, so they can't compete with Ryukyu and North Korea."
By May of the 22nd year of Kangxi (1683), Shi Lang had made all preparations for the crusade across the sea, and Emperor Kangxi issued imperial edicts to forge ahead in Taiwan Province Province.
At the beginning of June, the Qing navy assembled on the surface of Tongshan. 1 1 On that day, Shi Lang will assemble and allocate schools, explain their respective responsibilities and declare military discipline. /kloc-a grand ceremony was held on 0/3.
Following Emperor Kangxi's strategy of destroying the elite enemy forces in Penghu, the whole Taiwan Province will be invincible. Shi Lang decided to fight Zheng Jun in Penghu and strive to annihilate its main force.
14 in the morning, 2 10 Qing navy sailors and 230 warships sailed from Tongshan to Penghu. The masts on the sea are like forests, the sails are like clouds, the trumpets are loud, and the colorful flags cover the sky, which is spectacular.
After a day and a night, the Qing army has approached Penghu, and Liu Guoxuan ordered to take the initiative. He thought it was June, the sea was windy, and the Qing army was defeated without fighting.
16 at dawn, Shi Lang tentatively attacked. After finding out the actual situation of Zheng Jun, he made a plan to concentrate superior forces to destroy the main enemy. Strategically, 65,438+006 strong and tall warships were specially built to attack Ma Miyagi in Zheng camp from two directions, and 80 ships were used as reserve. Tactically, it is stipulated that every five ships will besiege an enemy ship.
On the morning of the 22nd, the decisive battle against Penghu was unprecedented in scale. Shi Lang led 56 ships to charge ahead, and Liu Guoxuan, commander of Zheng Jun, ordered the ships to leave Hong Kong to fight.
Shi Lang strikes first. When he was only a stone's throw away from Zheng Jun, a rocket exploded and the fireboat was released. He galloped with the wind. Zheng Jun's ships caught fire one after another, and the foot soldiers dived to escape. Shi Lang waved the flag, and the Qing army took the opportunity to enter the enemy line. People in the distance shoot arrows, while people in the vicinity stab arrows. Because the ship of the Qing army was particularly high, and Zheng's ship was small and disrepair, it was knocked over and damaged one after another.
In the middle of the war, Shi Lang put the new force of the reserve into the battle, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce. According to historical records, at that time, artillery fire and stones were like raindrops, and smoke covered the sky and could not be distinguished at all. When the two armies were at war, the water was red.
After an afternoon of fierce fighting, Zheng Jun gradually lost his strength, and the Qing army pursued him like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves. When Liu Guoxuan saw the tide ebbing, he cried sadly: "Heaven and tide wait for no man." With the remaining 30 ships, he went out to sea from the roar gate and fled back to Taiwan Province.
Bay. Nearly 5000 people still on the island all surrendered, and the Penghu Islands were occupied by the Qing army. During the battle, Zheng Jun was killed or injured and captured1.20 thousand people, and 1.94 warships were either burned or overturned, or became the fighting interests of the Qing army.
Products.
Shi Lang made proper arrangements for the captured Zheng Jun officers and soldiers, and treated the injured. People who want to go back to Taiwan Province Province to reunite with their relatives not only do not stop them, but also return to the boat and ask them to tell the military and civilians on Taiwan Province Island: "Recognize the situation clearly and surrender as soon as possible, you can enjoy preferential treatment, otherwise Penghu will be second." When these people go back, they communicate to each other that the morale of Taiwan Province Province is increasingly lax, people are in panic and nervous!
On June 26th, Shi Lang went to the imperial court to report the success of Penghu. Emperor Kangxi issued an edict to reward San Francisco, ordering him to discuss merits and reward merits. Some ministers called on Jiang Yi to chase the poor bandits and rush into Taiwan Province.
Island. Emperor Kangxi did not adopt it and issued an imperial edict saying, "The elite of the Zheng army has been completely lost in the battle of Penghu. At this time, once again, he will have no strength to fight again, and he will probably give in. The soldiers and civilians on China Island are all from Taiwan Province. If they are caught by force, they will hurt lives. Therefore,
It is not appropriate to wage war again. "
He was in a dilemma when the unification of Taiwan Province Province collapsed. Kangxi made a promise of letting bygones be bygones with a broad mind, and used it naturally, so that the great cause of cross-strait peace could be realized.
Zheng Keshuang saw Liu Guoxuan's defeat and was completely annihilated. He was surprised and scared, and he was at a loss. Some of his subordinates advocated conquering Luzon's ideological residence, while others advocated sticking to Taiwan Province Province and risking their lives.
Fight. Liu Guoxuan urged the Qing government to submit to the Qing court: "The Qing army is strong and unstoppable, and our army is unable to fight any more, and we are even more afraid that Taiwan Island will be shattered. The sea route to Luzon-Li Qianhai is unpredictable, so how can it be light?
Rate? Maybe die in the belly of a fish. For today's plan, we have to accept the appeal. "Leaders from personal life, tend to Liu Guoxuan's opinion.
Zheng Keshuang reluctantly sent Li Pingying and Ke Qinglin to Penghu to meet Shi Lang, promising to pay the money to surrender, but still not mentioning the tonsure. Shi Lang sternly refused: "Never allow it without shaving your head and landing. If you are not sincere, the army will arrive tomorrow. Don't say it's unexpected! "
Qiang Bing was cornered, Zheng Keshuang hesitated. Under Liu Guoxuan's persuasion, he finally made a choice to conform to the general trend, accepted the terms of the Qing court, and sent Lawrence Ah Mon and Feng Xifan to Shi Lang on July 1 1 to submit the drop-off table, table map and household registration book.
Shi Lang sent Wu Qijue, accompanied by Zheng Biao and Taiwan Province, to make him enter Beijing, and won a decisive victory for Emperor Kangxi.
Some Manchu ministers, who held a grudge against Zheng for more than 20 years, disagreed with Zheng's surrender and called on them to take Taiwan Province Province and destroy Zheng. Emperor Kangxi, a well-deserved monarch, said to his deputies, "How can a gentleman repay evil with good?"
Have you been complaining for a long time? The soldiers and civilians on Taiwan Province Island are descendants of the Chinese people. Since they are willing to give in, they should accept it so that Deng Xian can enjoy peace and prosperity. Why should they add up with the blade? "He decided to seize this favorable opportunity to make Taiwan Province Province return peacefully.
Issued a stern edict:
