My system is not decent

After the Battle of Xiamen City, Zheng Hongkui later mentioned this matter in a letter to his elder brother Zheng Zhilong.

"Ma Degong in Quanzhen is insatiably greedy. He still stays on the island and is surrounded by various boats. He fought three times and three north. He is desperate for help. He is begging for his life. Brother Lianhai, millions of souls have fled and cannot live and work in peace. , Gu Xuqi asked, and then the boat crossed all the people and horses, so that Gongsheng returned to Quanjun, and my brother's strength is also."

Incidentally, at that time, the Zheng family was divided into two groups, living in the area controlled by the Qing army and the area controlled by Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Zhilong and others in the area controlled by the Qing army were resettled to the capital by the Qing court.

In addition, Zheng Zhilong's mother, Huang Shi, Zheng Zhibao and others lived in the Anhai area in the area controlled by the Qing court.

Among the ships that the Qing army attacked Xiamen this time, 8 ships were provided by Zheng Zhibao.

After Zheng Chenggong returned to his teacher, he was very emotional.

"Uncle Chengji (that is, Zheng Zhibao) who came to cross the captives, Uncle Dingguo who went to cross the captives (both are his own people), Uncle Zhiguan who abandoned the city with the captives, the family is in trouble, what do you have to do with the captives?"

Zheng Zhiwan was subsequently beheaded by Zheng Chenggong to tell the army that Zhang Xuesheng, Huang Shu, and Ma Degong had made the most profits in the battle of Xiamen City, and the so-called wealth of Yidun was nothing more than that.

They spent money to open up various relationships, so that the Qing court knew nothing about their division of Zheng Chenggong's property.

In the second year, when the Qing court intended to recruit Zheng Chenggong, they learned about it.

The Qing court was very indignant at the fact that the three divided up the treasure and concealed it.

So they were ordered to be dismissed and escorted to the capital for joint trial by the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Judiciary of Dali Temple.

The three should have made a confession long ago, so when they were interrogated, they all insisted that there was no treasure in the city, and even swore that if they shared it privately, they would "be willing to be executed early."

At the same time, their family paid a lot of money to bribe the interrogation officials.

With the help of Brother Kong Fang, the matter finally came to a hasty conclusion, and the three escaped punishment successfully.

I have to say that in the Qing Dynasty, the rich really could do whatever they wanted!

Since the corrupt officials of the Qing Dynasty had money and could do whatever they wanted, then the Zheng family also had money!

Unfortunately, they were defeated in the end, so what about their wealth?

In fact, in the Haimen Island area, the legend of Zheng Chenggong's treasure has been circulating.

The Zheng family started out as an armed merchant group at sea. Even during the war with the Qing soldiers, they never stopped foreign trade.

Zheng's group occupies the three sea areas of Hai, Jin, and Xiamen to fight against the Qing court and vigorously support the non-governmental organization-Tiandihui.

The Tiandihui's gang regulations clearly established the origin and purpose.

At the same time, a mysterious place called Qilin Island is also marked as a holy place guarded by the Tiandihui for generations.

Modern neon scholar Satoshi Miki, based on "Minqiao" and "Puyang Jiaodo", made various speculations about Qilin Island, and believed that Qilin Island is the location of Zheng Chenggong's treasure.

In addition to training sailors to fight against the Qing court, Zheng Chenggong secretly built ordnance and hoarded military pay.

These treasures and the dragon robe and jade seal prepared for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty are secrets jointly guarded by the Zheng family and the Tiandihui.

Judging by the shape of the island, Qilin Island mentioned in the regulations of the Tiandihui should be one of dozens of islands at the mouth of the Jiulong River.

Following the death of Zheng Chenggong, the descendants of the Zheng family descended to the Qing Dynasty. This treasure and this little-known story have always been spread in the sea, Jin and Xiamen areas.

The Zheng family has been rampant in the southeastern waters for decades, and through maritime trade and wars, they have accumulated huge wealth unimaginable to ordinary people.

How powerful was Zheng Zhilong at that time?Ships sailing in the East China Sea will not be able to sail safely if they do not raise the flag of Zheng Zhilong.

If his flag is to be erected, each ship must pay 2000 silver.

In its heyday, Zheng Zhilong had an army of 20 people and a fleet of more than 3000 ships. He was truly wealthy.

Because their annual trade volume reached 3000 million taels of silver, which exceeded the fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty government at that time.

According to some literature estimates, the annual profit of Zheng Zhilong Group at that time could reach 2000 million or 3000 million taels of silver!

In addition, he has other sources of income such as rent, land proceeds and bribes.

Little is known about it today, but the sum must have been considerable.

And in Zheng Chenggong's period, the accumulated wealth must be incomparably rich.

Therefore, the Tiandihui supported by Mrs. Zheng certainly has no shortage of funds.

Relying on the advantage of strong financial resources, Tiandihui can expand rapidly, and has sub-helms all over the country.

In order to show their identities, members of the Tiandihui will use code words to confirm. If they can match the codewords, it means that they are members of the Tiandihui.

The most well-known is "Gaogang, a local town, with a beautiful river and mountains through the ages; the gate looks at the sea, and the three rivers join the river for thousands of years".

Art comes from life and is higher than life, so these incisions must not have been created for nothing.

Many modern works of art are based on real history and have been passed down to the present.

Tiandihui is a legend. They solved the problem of cross-domain communication, leaving only the problem of funds.

In order to develop sub-rudders, the master rudder has prepared sufficient funds for each sub-rudder.

These funds have become the capital for the development and growth of sub-rudders. Therefore, many legends about the treasures of Tiandihui are also widely circulated among the people.

In 2001, a huge mansion in Zhouhu Village, Xijiang Province was made public.

The mansion covers an area of ​​more than 6000 square meters, and there are 108 houses in it.

Such a huge mansion, even now, is a huge project to build.

The building looks like a ship from a distance, with bow, front cabin, back cabin, deck, and even a boat canopy.

The bows of the boats all face southeast, with the green hills on the side, and they are built along the water. Standing on a high place and looking at each other, it is like a giant ship riding the wind and waves, which is very spectacular.

What's even more strange is that there are 108 houses in the boat house, and all of them have brick and stone as the bottom, bamboo and wood walls, blue bricks and gray tiles, and cornices with corners.

The village where the houseboat is located is located in a large mountain depression more than 40 kilometers away from Lichuan City.

The traffic here is blocked, the mountains are high and the roads are steep. It seems that there is only a river called Hongshui in front of the village, which can lead to the outside world and maintain connectivity.

However, who would have imagined that this is a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and raising a family live!

When this ancient house was discovered, it still caused a sensation.

Chen Wenzhe remembered very clearly that the ancient house was triangular in shape, narrow in the east and wide in the west, like a boat running from west to east.

The courtyard wall is more than 6 meters high, and the bricks are ground to each other, forming a seamless whole. Surrounded by several ancient houses and guards, it forms a rather spectacular building group.

This kind of ship-shaped ancient building is the first time that it has been discovered in ancient Chinese buildings.

Maybe because the boat-shaped ancient house is the largest building in the village, the closer you get to it, the more you will feel its tallness.

As for the number of rooms in the ancient house, there has been no conclusion.

Even the people who live in the ancient houses can't tell clearly. Some say there are more than 200 rooms, some say 107 rooms, and some say 108 rooms.
