He served as the commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army of the Kuomintang during the Wuchang Uprising.

Baisha Water Turtle Village Fort
"Baisha Shuiwei Village" was originally called "Backwater Turtle Village Fort". It is located in Baisha Village, Humen. It was built in the Chongzhen Period of the late Ming Dynasty as Humen It was built by Zheng Ru, a native of Baisha. Zheng Ru was a Jinshi in the late Ming Dynasty, and his official position was Taisi Shaoqing (a fourth-rank official in ancient times). The whole village is square, located in the northeast and facing to the west. It covers an area of ??6889 square meters and has a side length of 83 meters. The village fort is surrounded by a protective wall 6 meters high and 0.6 meters thick. The layout of the village fort is based on the shape of a turtle. Because there is a stream coming from the north, it is called the turtle against the current. The village fort is surrounded by an 18-meter-wide artificial river that protects the village. Because it is surrounded by water, people also call the village fort the Baisha Shuiwei Village.
In front of the main entrance of the village fort is a cement bridge. It used to be a wooden bridge. It is the only way in and out of the village fort. It is also the tail of this turtle against the current. The small towers at the four corners of the village fort are the four corners of the turtle. The foot, the fortress building above the protective wall in the north is the turtle head, and the red bricks on the blue fortress building are the turtle eyes.
The door frame of the main entrance of the village fort is made of red sandstone. On the forehead of the door are engraved four simple characters "Lilvbaoju". There is a stone couplet beside the door. The first couplet is "Qiandieling and Houlongtan" The landscape is full of elegance," and the second line is "The peaks on the left, the tigers on the right, the sea, the clouds, the clouds, and the glow."
After entering the gate, there is a straight alley running from north to south in the village fort, with a width of 2 meters. There are four horizontal alleys on both sides of the straight alley, each 1.4 meters wide. The 72 houses in the village have a unified layout and are distributed on both sides of the straight lane. The small rooms within the surrounding walls are stables. All the houses are one-story, with blue bricks and blue tiles. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, there are only a few stone carvings on the houses.
The drainage canals and wells in the village are well set up. The most amazing thing is the criss-crossing drainage canals in the village. The drainage channel is about 20 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters deep. An old man who has lived in the village for decades said that no matter how hard it rains, such a small drainage channel can drain away the rainwater in time and has never been flooded. Relevant experts from Germany and South Korea have sent inspection teams many times to inspect the drainage canal system in the village.
The house on the left at the end of the straight alley was occupied by the founder Zheng Yu. Most of the houses have collapsed. There is a blocked well inside the house, which is said to be a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the village.
According to research, Baisha is an ancient village. In the early Ming Dynasty, an inspection department was set up. The sea was regarded as a salt port, and it was also the first production site of my country's Folangji cannon. Baisha Shuiwei Village is a typical Ming Dynasty building with such a scale and complete preservation, which is rare in the province.
