Antonio Tzeng

Antonio Tzeng (Chinese: 曾義言; Zēng Yìyán; May 15, 1913 - August 1, 1951) who was born Tzeng Lan-ching (曾瀾清) was a Tsengian revolutionary and politician who served as the 2nd Prime Minister of Tseng from 1949 to 1951.

Early life
Tzeng was born on May 15, 1913, in Callentown, Talasides. He went to a Spanish school, where he was given the name Antonio. At school, he met Bo Junming (薄君明), and the two became quick friends.

Involvement with the Tseng independence movement
Tzeng was 10 when the Republic of Hsu was created (and put down) in 1923. The event influenced him greatly. In 1927, the 14-year old Tzeng joined the Chengtseng militant group, and along with several other teenagers looted European businesses. Tzeng stayed away from any businesses who looked small or poor, but his mates didn't care.

Months later, Chengtseng disbanded, but Tzeng and some former Chengtseng members continued the protests.

Bombings
Tzeng had become more irritating over the years, including setting fire to the Talasidean governor's office in Bonaparte-Meriot in 1930. The governor Alexandre Archambault ordered the police to arrest Tzeng. When Tzeng was arrested and sent to prison, he escaped, so Archambault ordered the police to assassinate him.

On May 15, 1930, Tzeng received a package on his door. He opened it, and the bomb detonated, destroying his left arm and paralyzing his right leg. In 1933, he was given the name Yiyan, which means "righteous speech" in Chinese.

On June 8, 1944, Tzeng was bombed again, but somehow he survived.

Political career and death
In 1949, Tzeng became the Prime Minister of Tseng. He served for two years before he was assassinated when his yacht exploded in Arbre-Rose.
