Shi Lang made Deputy Commander of Tongan

Shi Lang, originally a military leader under Zheng Zhilong, played a crucial role in the Qing conquest of Zheng Taiwan. After a conflict with Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Zhilong, Shi Lang managed to escape imprisonment and subsequently defected to the Qing dynasty. His military expertise was instrumental in the successful assault on a Zheng stronghold, which marked a turning point in the conflict between the Qing and Zheng forces. Following his defection, Shi Lang was appointed as the Deputy Commander of Tongan, where he continued to lead campaigns against the remaining Zheng forces. His leadership and strategic acumen contributed significantly to the Qing dynasty's efforts to consolidate power in Taiwan, ultimately leading to the decline of Zheng influence in the region. Shi Lang's actions not only shaped the military landscape of the time but also had lasting implications for the political dynamics in Taiwan and its integration into the Qing empire.
