# Koxinga

> A Ming loyalist who refused to surrender after the dynasty fell, he fought the Qing for nearly two decades from coastal bases, then turned on the Dutch East India Company when they kept raiding his supply lines — besieging them off Taiwan in 1662 and founding a kingdom that outlasted him by two decades.

## Bio

Born in Japan in 1624 to a Chinese merchant and a Japanese mother, Zheng Chenggong was serving as a scholar in Nanjing when Beijing collapsed to rebels in 1644. He pledged himself to the Longwu Emperor, who granted him the rare honor of the imperial surname Zhu in 1645 — a name Zheng used for the rest of his life, earning him the title Koxinga. The Yongli Emperor named him Prince of Yanping in 1655 after years of anti-Qing campaigns. When the Dutch East India Company kept harassing his maritime routes, he besieged Fort Zeelandia in 1662, expelled them, and established the Kingdom of Tungning on Taiwan. He died suddenly that same year while planning an invasion of Luzon in response to the Spanish massacre of Chinese residents in Manila.
