A generation of national heroes, who died suddenly at the age of 39, and ordered to kill his own flesh and blood relatives before he died, what is the secret in this? This national hero is Zheng Chenggong, a famous general who once recovered Taiwan.
Only half a year after the recovery of Taiwan, this hero unfortunately died of a violent illness, and his violent death began with a ** incident within the family:
In April 1663, Zheng Chenggong received a letter from his eldest son Zheng Jing, in which the son reported good news to him, saying that he had a son with his concubine, which made Zheng Chenggong very happy, because he had ten sons under his knees, and the eldest son Zheng Jing has been cultivated as a son, and now he has a grandson, and there are successors, so he is rewarded everywhere, which is also human nature.
When there was a joyful singing and festivities, a second letter followed, but Zheng Chenggong broke down several times, this is a letter of reprimand from his father-in-law, it turned out that the child was not born to Zheng Jing and his concubine, but had an affair with his fourth brother's nurse Chen, and gave birth to a son. For such things that go against the family, Zheng Chenggong not only did not blame, but rewarded him, which attracted the dissatisfaction of his wife and father-in-law.
In ancient times, ** fornication was a big shame, not to mention Zheng Chenggong, who was strict in military regulations and led by example, and his reputation was ruined by his own son, which was simply absurd.
But after the order was issued, no one dared to carry it out at all, after all, one was the future son, the other was the princess, and although the grandson Zheng Kezang zāng was not born to his wife, he was also of royal blood. In case Zheng Chenggong regrets it later and misses his wife and son, won't his subordinates suffer.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong was supervising the battle on the front line in Tainan, the weather was very hot, he had heat stroke, and he was very irritable. Someone else suggested that only Chen and her son should be killed, but Zheng Chenggong certainly disagreed, but only intensified his anger and sent more men to Xiamen to carry out the order.
It was this move that made Zheng Chenggong make a big mistake, because this is no longer as simple as executing military orders, but fermenting into a political issue, after all, the eldest son he wants to kill is the future ** person in the eyes of outsiders, and a large group of political forces have already gathered around him.
At this time, Zheng Chenggong had just experienced the killing of his father, the murder of Emperor Yongli in Burma, and the joint efforts of the generals, a series of blows made him sad and angry, and finally died violently.
Rong Ma has been in his life, but in the end he was defeated in family affairs, in fact, many things are like this, chaotic inside, collapsed inside, and finally died inside.
