Life of the characters

Wan zhengse joined the army when he was young. In the third year of the Qing Dynasty (1664), Wan zhengse was promoted to the rank of guerrilla in Xing'an prefecture (now Ankang City, Shaanxi Province) for his meritorious service in recruiting pirates Chen can and others. In the 12th year of Kangxi (1673), Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, fought against the Qing Dynasty, and Wan zhengse followed Xi'an general varka to invade Sichuan. Tan Hong, Wu Sangui's chief soldier, led his troops to defend Yangping pass and resist the imperial army. Wan zhengse defeated Tan Hong in Yegu mountain. He seized Chaotian pass with a plan, seized Qipan pass with an opportunity, and recovered Guangyuan and Zhaohua counties in Sichuan Province. When they arrived at Baoning prefecture (now Langzhong County, Sichuan Province), the Qing army was besieged by the rebels in Panlong mountain. The grain route was cut off for more than 30 days, and the soldiers were starving. One day, he was ordered to break through the encirclement at night. Wan zhengse took the lead with a big knife, cutting more than ten soldiers of the enemy. He rushed out of the encirclement and arrived at Hanzhong prefecture (now Nanzheng County, Shaanxi Province). When Wan zhengse was young, he practiced martial arts in Renying Academy of his cousin Huang Xiguan's family, and changed his name to Huang zhengse, so he was called "Huang Dadao" in the army. Later, Wan zhengse was promoted to General of shanxiping Luwei (now Pinglu County, Shanxi Province), and his surname Wan was restored. Soon after, Wan zhengse was ordered to pacify the coup in Xing'an Prefecture. He was summoned and praised by Emperor Kangxi, and was promoted to the commander in chief of the navy in Yuezhou (now in Yueyang County, Hunan Province). At that time, Wu Sangui heavily defended Yuezhou, controlled the area of Dongting Lake, and planted toon trees to prevent the Qing army from attacking. In 1678, when Wan zhengse took office in Yuezhou, he sent a light boat to attack the rebels on the shore at night. He personally led the strong men into the reeds and cut down all the Toon trees planted by the rebels. The Qing army went ashore, set fire and yelled. The rebels were in a panic, fighting each other and retreating in a hurry. Wu Sangui's generals Jiang Yi, Ba Yangyuan, Du Hui and others led 200 ships to attack liulinzui. Wan zhengse cut off the rebel's pay, led the guerrilla Tang Shan and others to fight against the rebels at Luxikou, burned the Rebel fleet, and killed the rebel generals Zhang Bing, Zhao Youku and others. In August of the same year, Wu Sangui died in Hengzhou (now Hengyang County, Hunan Province). His son Wu Yingqi, Du Hui and Jiang Yi retreated to Yuezhou. Wan zhengse used the "estrangement plan" to write 14 letters in person. He sent Qian Zong Wei to send these letters to Du Hui, Jiang Yi and others, who killed him. Wu Yingqi suspected that these ministries had an affair with the Qing army, so he killed 13 ministries including Du Hui. The rebels fought against each other and lost their strength. The rebels, Chen Hua, Li Chao, Wang duchong and others, left the city to surrender. Wu Yingqi abandoned the city and went to Changsha. Wan zhengse then recovered Yuezhou. Wan zhengse asked the imperial court for Wei Shizeng's sympathy, so the imperial court gave Wei Shizeng as a gift. In 1679, the imperial court recalled Wan zhengse's achievements in conquering Yangpingguan and appointed him as the left governor. At that time, General Wang Jieshu and Kang Qinwang invaded Fujian. Geng Jingzhong, the rebellious king of Jingnan, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, while Zheng Jing, the son of Zheng Chenggong, the governor of Yanping, occupied Jinmen and Xiamen, captured Haicheng and confronted the Qing army across the sea. Wan zhengse put forward the proposal of sea and army defense and cooperation in the battle, which was praised by Emperor Kangxi. He specially granted the title of Prince Shaobao, transferred to Fujian Navy chief, and then promoted to navy commander. In the first month of the 19th year of Kangxi (1680), Wan zhengse set up six teams as the vanguard, led the giant warships as the successors, and sent light warships around to the left and right sides to attack Zheng Jun, fired guns to sink Zheng Jun's warships, drowned more than 3000 people, so he seized Haitan. General Zhu Tiangui of Zheng army fled, and Wan zhengse pursued him to pinghaiwan (now Southeast of Putian City, Fujian Province); Zhu Tiangui fled to Chongwu, and Wan zhengse attacked and defeated Zhu Tiangui. Then he joined general lahada, Fujian governor Yao Qisheng, Fujian Governor Wu xingzuo and Fujian Governor Yang Jie to seize Xiamen. Zhu Tiangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and Zheng Jing fled back to Taiwan. Wan zhengse presented the book of the aftermath of minhai to the court, suggesting that troops should be divided to guard the important coastal areas. In 1681, Emperor Kangxi ordered Wan zhengse to march into Taiwan. Wan zhengse thought that "Taiwan is difficult to attack and there is no need to attack". Therefore, Emperor Shengzu of Qing Dynasty called Wan zhengse the land governor. In the 25th year of Kangxi (1686), Wan zhengse was transferred to Yunnan. He was at odds with Wang Zhen, chief of Heqing Prefecture, and attacked each other. The governor fan Chengxun impeached Wan zhengse for "taking bribes" and sentenced him to death. Later, he was pardoned for the crime of death, dismissed from office and returned home. After returning to Quanzhou, Wan zhengse once presided over the reconstruction of Luoyang Bridge in Quanzhou, donated money to dredge baguagou in the city, and built the guild hall of Jinjiang county. In 1691, Wan zhengse died at the age of 55. The house is located in the third lane of today's East Street. The old place is called wancuocheng. There is a "Gong Bao Ti Du" square near the house, which is now abandoned.

Historical evaluation

Zhao Erxun and others wrote in the draft of the history of the Qing Dynasty that "the Zheng family suffered from the sea for more than 30 years, and the Jie and zhengse were struggling to defend themselves. They settled in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, and collected money and buildings from abroad."
