They may be thinking of Zhu Yujian, the last prince of the Ming Dynasty who escaped the Qing with the help of Zhen Zhilong, who had the christian name of Nicholas Iquan Gaspard.

The most well-known 'treacherous general' (from the Qing perspective) based in Fujian is perhaps Geng Jingzhong who was the paramount feudal lord of the region. He was one of the participants of the 'Revolt of the three fiefdoms/feudatories' with two other similar feudal lords of Yunnan and Guangdong, which ended in a Qing victory after about a decade. After the defeat he was executed, and it is very likely his extended family was punished as well.
It is interesting to note that a concurrent rebellion happened with the Chahar Mongols who were nominally under Qing rule at the time. The extent of direct cooperation between the feudatories and the Mongols is unclear.
In terms of nobility, Geng Jingzhong was wedded to a Qing princess, as were his father and grandfather.
