明末清初,发迹于东南的郑成功异军突起,三次北伐严重威胁了清王朝在长江中下游的统治。北伐失败后郑氏转而东征台湾,建立了同清朝隔海对峙的明郑政权,其割据思想对其后二十余年的台海关系产生了重大影响。 In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zheng Chenggong, who made a fortune in the southeast, emerged as a meteoric rise. The three Northern Expeditions seriously threatened the rule of the Qing dynasty in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Following the defeat of the Northern Expedition, Cheng turned to march toward Taiwan and established the Ming regime that opposed the Qing dynasty across the sea. His separatist thinking had a significant impact on the Taiwan Strait relations for the past two decades or so.
