A great Chinese- Japanese Man loyal to the Ming Dynasty who inherited his father's great fleet of warriors and traders and pirates and military men , fought the Manchu Qing Dynasty and brought terror, humiliation and defeat to the arrogant Westerners, be they dutch or spanish or portuguese.

"This island was the dominion of my father and should descend to none other than myself. Foreigners must go."
"You Hollanders are conceited and senseless people; you will make
yourselves unworthy of the mercy which I now offer; you will subject
yourselves to the highest punishment by opposing the great force
I have brought with the mere thousand men which I am told you have in
your Castle; you will obstinately persevere in this. Do you not wish to
be wiser? Let your losses at least teach you, that your power
cannot be compared to a thousandth part of mine."
"You have by this time surely seen with your own eyes what your iron
ships, with which you think you can accomplish wonders and on which you
boast so much, can do against my junks; how one of them has been burned
by one of my junks and has disappeared in smoke; how the others would
have met with the same doom had they not taken to flight and gone out to
sea."
"On land you saw how the pride of your Captain was so much humbled that
he with his men, who are as foolish as himself, could not even bear the
look of my men ; and how, on the mere sight of my warriors, they threw
down their arms and willingly awaited their well-deserved punishment
with outstretched necks. Are these not sufficient proofs of your
incompetency and inability to resist my forces?"
"I will give you more and stronger ones. But if you
still persist in refusing to listen to reason and decline to do my
bidding, and if you wish delibrately to rush to your ruin, then I will
shortly, in your presence, order your castle to be
stormed. My men will attack it, conquer it, and demolish it in such a way, that not one stone will remain standing. If I wish to set my force to work, then I am able to move
heaven and Earth. Wherever I go I am destined to win. Therefore take
warning, and think the matter over."
