Zhu Shugui - Relocation To Taiwan

Relocation To Taiwan

Koxinga died in 1663, whereupon his son Zheng Jing succeeded him. In 1664, in support of the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng Jing invited the Prince of Ningjing to Taiwan. He built a residential mansion for the Prince in the district of Xidingfang, adjacent to Fort Provintia in the city of Chengtianfu (now Tainan City), and provided him with a yearly stipend. Taiwan was newly settled territory, boasting fertile lands, and Zhu cleared dozens of hectares of land at Zhuhu Village, Wannian Prefecture (today Luzhu District, Kaohsiung City) for farming.

Zheng Jing died in 1681, and his son Zheng Keshuang took his place.
