Zheng Jing, a prominent leader of the Zheng dynasty, withdrew from his last stronghold on the mainland following a critical shift in loyalty among his commanders. The defection of Zhou Quanbin, a key commander in Zheng's forces, significantly weakened Zheng Jing's position. This event marked a turning point for the Zheng dynasty, which had been a formidable power in the region, particularly in its resistance against the Qing dynasty. The loss of the mainland stronghold forced Zheng Jing to reassess his military strategies and ultimately led to a shift in the dynamics of power in the area. The withdrawal not only diminished the military presence of the Zheng forces on the mainland but also signaled a decline in their influence, as they retreated to their bases on Taiwan, where they would continue to operate but with reduced capacity to challenge the Qing authority on the mainland.
