The clouds were gloomy and the sea was dark, and Wang Junlou swore to kill the thief.

In the fierce battle between the two armies, the thunder was sonorous and the sky was different.

The descendants of Gaomi are true heroes, and they are loyal to each other.

The cannon stone attacks were like rain, and the flesh was red.

Many enemy ships were destroyed, and our boats sank when they were exhausted.

Regardless of apes, cranes and sandworms, the whole army was buried in the belly of the fish.

The general was born in an adventure, and he should stay in this life for another day.

Aiming to destroy the captives again, is it said that the general's day is lost?

The general shouted otherwise, it would be better to break the jade than to be whole.

Swear to live and die with the soldiers, how can I be ashamed of my life when I die?

Woohoo life is not dead, and death must be expensive.

Heavy as Mount Tai light feathers, flowing fragrant and stinking through the ages.

The general regards death as sweet, and the history of the world is dying.

The predecessor of the other army was in the law, and he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger?

Shi Lang of the Qing Dynasty. After Shi Lang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was appointed as the deputy general of Tong'an of the Qing army, and was soon promoted to the general of Tong'an, the admiral of the Fujian Naval Division, and successively led the division to garrison Tong'an, Haicheng, and Xiamen, and participated in the Qing army's attack and appeasement of the Zheng army. He was the most successful admiral in ancient China.

Shi Lang, ancestral home in Yakou, Longhu Town, Jinjiang City, Fujian Province. In his early years, he was Zheng Zhilong's subordinate general, and in 1646 (the third year of Shunzhi), he descended to the Qing Dynasty with Zheng Zhilong. Due to Zheng Chenggong's recruitment, he joined Zheng Chenggong's anti-Qing team and became the youngest of Zheng Chenggong's subordinates, who knew the soldiers and was good at fighting.

Later, because of the opposition to Zheng Strategy's practice of "giving up water to land and raising military salaries by plundering", Zheng Chenggong was very unhappy, cut the military power, and ordered Shi Lang to return to Xiamen with idle personnel, when the Qing army Ma Degong sneak attacked Xiamen, Zheng Zhiguan, the lord of Xiamen, abandoned the city in panic and fled, Shi Lang personally led more than 60 people around him to take the initiative to resist, unstoppable, killed the Qing army Ma Degong's brother, Ma Degong was almost captured alive, and led the remnants of the army to flee from Xiamen in panic. Zheng Chenggong, who was in Nanao at the time, saw that the army's heart was shaken, and it was impossible to continue to go south, so he had to return to Xiamen.

Zheng summoned the generals to resist all the rewards, but did not mention anything about the "fake idle member" Shi Lang bravely resisted the enemy, only rewarded 200 silver, and Shi Lang's left vanguard was not restored to his post, many reasons caused Shi to be dissatisfied with Zheng, at this time, Shi Lang's personal soldier Zeng De committed a capital crime and fled to Zheng Chenggong's place, and was promoted to his personal entourage. Shi Lang captured Zeng De and prepared to punish him. Zheng Wenxun hurriedly sent someone to convey the order, and Shi Lang was not allowed to kill Zeng De.

Shi Lang said: "Lang does not dare to violate the law, how can the person who violates the law escape responsibility?" Then he ordered Zengde to be killed.

Shi Lang's murder of the law's personal soldier Zeng De angered Zheng Chenggong again, so the conflict between Shi and Zheng escalated, and Zheng then ordered the arrest of Shi Lang's father and son. Later, Shi Lang escaped with a trick, and Zheng Chenggong was furious and killed Shi's father Daxuan and his brother Shi Xian. Shi Lang was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, first served as the deputy general of Tong'an, then served as the general of Tong'an, and was promoted to the admiral of the Fujian Navy Division in 1662, and then pacified Taiwan and successfully appeased the Zheng group.

And the Qing court included Taiwan in the Chinese territory. Finally got the support of Emperor Kangxi. In 1683 (the twenty-second year of Kangxi), Shi Lang led the army to the platform, and after that, he actively called on the Qing court to garrison troops in Taiwan, and advocated the protection of Taiwan and the consolidation of Xinjiang.

He has made outstanding contributions to the integrity of the motherland and has been widely praised, but he has also been criticized by some people. The evaluation of Shi Lang is a controversial issue in the historiography circles at home and abroad. The reason for this is mainly due to the difference in historiographical viewpoints.

In the process of sinking to the bottom of the sea, his dog bit him and wanted to save him, but he was determined to repay the country with death, so he ruthlessly drowned the dog first, and drowned himself!

When Zeng Guofan first debuted to fight against the Taiping Army, he was defeated and wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river twice, but was stopped by his subordinates.

There is also our national hero Deng Shichang, who swore to live and die with the ship, and in the process of sinking to the bottom of the sea, he ruthlessly drowned the dog first, and drowned himself!

Deng Shichang, there is a section on the naval battle of the Yellow Sea in history textbooks.
