In the Tian-Chi Period of the Ming Dynasty, after expelling the Dutch, the Ming government arranged a large scale military disposition in the Peng-Hu islands, and established a ”Peng-Hu Mobile Corps Commander” to be responsible for all of the tasks. However, since the Peng-Hu islands are isolated from Fu-Jian by sea and communication and transportation was difficult, the Ming government could not effectively supervise the military in the Peng-Hu islands. As a result, the military leaders were bribed by the Dutch, and this corruption greatly troubled the Ming government. In addition, the invasions of the Man-Zhou people in northeast China cost the Ming government a great deal of money; consequently, the Ming government asked the local government to increase taxation. To fulfill the Ming government's order, the local government of Fu-Jian, already was in a poor financial situation, curtailed half of the manpower of the military in the Peng-Hu islands who were performing poorly and difficult to supervise.
