Zheng Chenggong asked hurriedly, "How did Eastern Fan fall into such chaos?"
He Bin explained, "Last year, Wu Sangui and his followers fled to Eastern Fan. To secure a foothold, they avoided antagonizing the Dutch, choosing instead to buy grain from them with silver while clearing land for farming, hoping to achieve self-sufficiency."
"However, they understood neither the local climate nor farming methods. In the end, not only did they fail to harvest any grain, but they also wasted a vast amount of seed for nothing."
