Koxinga had connections with merchants in many coastal cities, and even some inland vendors would sail out and trade with him. In response to this circumstance, Emperor K’ang-hsi issued this edict to all officials in the Chiangnan and Fukien regions, establishing a strict system of “watch and tithing”. Consequently, beginning in 1662, anyone found trading with Koxinga was tried as a traitor.
