Tûng-nèn

Dongning was a maritime state of the Zheng family, based in southwestern Taiwan. It grew from the Ming loyalist cause, centuries after 1337.

In 1661 Zheng Chenggong attacked the Dutch on Taiwan, forcing Fort Zeelandia to surrender in 1662. He intended to use the island to restore the Ming on the mainland. His son Zheng Jing renamed the territory Dongning in 1664; the regime controlled Penghu and traded from Japan to Southeast Asia until its Qing annexation in 1683.
