() Carry out production, do training, watch exercises, do deductions, listen to reports, and make decisions. These are basically Liu Fu's daily tasks in the past few months, which lasted until the summer of 1894. News came from Liu Ming's office that the imperial court wanted to
To send troops to North Korea, it seemed that there was a rebellion in North Korea. Liu Fu also got information from his "Golden Elephant Pharmacy" that the imperial troop transport ship had already set off.
"Let's start, it should be North Korea this time. Why is it 1994? Doesn't the tourist map say that the Japanese occupied Taiwan in 1995? Did it take a year for the Japanese to come?" Liu Fu held the tourist atlas.
, looking through the sentences he had read countless times, puzzled.
"We'll wait and see. If North Korea starts a war, it will be this time." Liu Fu stopped analyzing and thought in vain. What is certain is that the Sino-Japanese War started in North Korea. As long as it started, it would be correct.
.
In July 1894, Liu Mingchuan received another telegram from the court, saying that the Japanese had increased their troops in North Korea. The old man was trusting Liu Fu more and more now, and the Japanese actually started to take action. But Liu Fu still did not dare to move, because if he moved
Even if it is a killing move, there is no way out, and the fight must be made sure.
At the end of July 1894, Liu Mingchuan received successive telegrams from the Beiyang Navy and the imperial court. The Japanese attacked Beiyang troop transports in the waters near Korea and sank a British ship. This news was very familiar to Liu Fu.
, although I can’t remember the year clearly, but the specific
I can still roughly remember the actual process. The Japanese sank the Qing Dynasty's troop transport ship and the British cargo ship, and the war began. Liu Fu immediately discussed with Liu Mingchuan for half a night, and decided to start preparing for the war immediately. Regardless of whether the court agreed or not, anyway, now
The imperial court no longer cares about Taiwan.
On July 31, 1894, Liu Mingchuan ordered that martial law be implemented across Taiwan. All Japanese people, Japanese trading companies, and Japanese ships were required to leave Taiwan within 5 days. If they expire, they would be arrested and confiscated. He also ordered all seaports, forts, and waterways to leave Taiwan within 5 days.
The divisions all entered a state of preparation for war.
At that time, there were some Japanese trading companies and Japanese people in Taiwan, especially in the central and southern parts of Taiwan. They were mainly engaged in the sugar and camphor business. Of course, it is hard to say whether there was a spy agency like the "Xuanyang Society". But this
One order eradicated Japanese forces from Taiwan from the root. Those who left early were lucky, while those who left late, and those who went to the local government to cause trouble, were all killed by New Army soldiers after the order expired.
Arrest and imprison them, and their property will be confiscated.
Liu Fu's navy was also well prepared. Submarines equipped with long-wave radio stations were patrolled in batches in the northeastern waters of Taiwan, mainly in the Ryukyu area. Liu Fu felt that if they wanted to land in Taiwan, they would probably use Ryukyu as a transit station.
On August 1, 1984, the imperial court formally declared war on Japan in a telegram. On that day, Liu Fu ordered the blockade of the Taiwan Strait and the outer sea. Whenever a Japanese ship was seen, it would be sunk immediately. Only when it was certain that it would not be exposed,
Only then can we take prisoners.
In the following more than a month, first the Huai army was beaten and retreated steadily in North Korea, and the Beiyang fleet also met the Japanese combined fleet as scheduled. History was like a stopwatch, going exactly as it should. Liu Mingchuan was defeated by the Huai army, and the Beiyang fleet also met as scheduled.
The news that the fleet had been damaged and avoided the battle made Wu Shan angry. After reading the telegram, he relapsed and became bedridden.
Liu Fu, who rushed back after hearing the news, looked at Liu Mingchuan who could no longer speak and held his father's trembling hand. He felt very uncomfortable. There was obvious complaint and unwillingness in Liu Mingchuan's turbid eyes. This was for the sake of everyone.
The veteran soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who had worked hard all their lives could not bear to see their court being beaten and defeated by land and water.
Liu Fu was willing to help, but he really didn’t have a boat that could go that far. Submarines were not suitable for fighting people all over the sea, and torpedo speedboats couldn’t reach the Yellow Sea. These two weapons could only be hidden at home.
At the door, when someone is unprepared, he goes up and takes a bite, and this bite is not gentle.
Although I couldn't go to the Yellow Sea to help, I still gained a lot in the Taiwan Strait. More than 10 Japanese cargo ships were suddenly sunk and the people on board were killed. A total of 4 cargo ships were captured by submarines, and all the people on board were imprisoned.
Whether you can come out of the mine depends on your physical fitness and resistance.
Liu Fu commended the most efficient boat No. 017. Under the leadership of captain Huang Dayong, this boat sank 7 Japanese cargo ships and tracked a Japanese cargo ship for a long time until it was completely dark and could not see all around.
After reaching other ships, he surfaced and captured it with a machine gun. For this reason, Liu Fu promoted Huang Dayong to deputy captain of the First Submarine Group.
We can't just talk about eating meat and not talking about being beaten. During this month's hunting operation, two submarines were operated improperly. One was scratched by a cargo ship and the other was directly stranded in the strait. If they weren't all equipped,
Longwave radio can call for help,
They must have been discovered by passing ships. Liu Fu did not show any mercy to the two captains who made mistakes. He went back to training again, passed the assessment and then took up the post. Anyway, submarines were being produced continuously, so there was no need to worry about not having captains.
I am worried that there is no boat to sail.
Now Japan seems to have realized that there are basically no Japanese ships in the Taiwan Strait. With so many ships missing in a short period of time, it goes without saying that it must be related to the Qing Dynasty, but Japan himself has no time to care about this matter.
Japanese cargo ships can be allowed to divert first.
The war started from the Battle of the Yellow Sea in August to the fall of the Liaodong Peninsula in November, and lasted until the annihilation of the Beiyang Fleet at the Weihai base in January 1895. Liu Fu had been watching nervously in Taiwan, but it was not until March 1895 that the two sides
During the peace talks, it was not discovered that the Japanese wanted to attack Taiwan.
Liu Mingchuan's illness completely broke out in April. From the telegram sent by the imperial court, Liu Mingchuan learned that the imperial court had sold Taiwan and ceded it to Japan. That night, after reading the telegram, Liu Mingchuan vomited blood and died. This Wanqing Westernizer
The pioneers in the movement, the chargers who took the lead in fighting against the foreign invaders, were betrayed by their own country without even consulting.
Liu Fu learned the news after the fact, so he hurried back to the governor's office. After finishing the funeral, he arranged for Liu Fu to put down everything he was doing and take a boat north to bei.
Jing, take the eldest son and the second son back to Taiwan, and then go to his hometown in Anhui on the way, and bring back Liu Mingchuan's family members who are still in their hometown. In the name of attending a funeral, all the family property that cannot be taken away will not be moved.
Come back as fast as you can, and deal with the imperial court in Taiwan as long as you can. If you really can't handle it, then there's nothing you can do.
On April 25, at Tamsui Port where Liu Mingchuan led his army to fight against the French, Liu Fu and his old subordinates in the Huai army who had followed Liu Mingchuan in battles buried Liu Mingchuan on a small hill and renamed the hill the Tomb of Heroes.
The park is where all Taiwanese New Army soldiers who died in battles will be buried here.
After finishing Liu Mingchuan's funeral affairs, Liu Fu used the tens of thousands of new troops and "stormtroopers" at his disposal to start a purge across Taiwan. All officials sent by the imperial court were re-identified and were willing to stay in Taiwan.
You can choose to stay, but the original position is not guaranteed and you will wait for a new appointment. Those who are unwilling to stay in Taiwan will have to leave within a time limit. All property and fields that cannot be taken away can be purchased by Liu Fu at market prices.
On April 30, Liu Fu established a new Taiwan Military Government and persuaded Yu Degui, the former Taiwan Army Commander, to serve as the president of the Taiwan Military Government. In fact, this was a nominal president with the power to make suggestions but no financial power, no military power, and no personnel power.
, let Liu Fu stand in front as a shield. Then in the name of Taiwan’s presidential office and military government, he asked the Qing government
Fu sent a call to various consulates to announce the riot. It also set the waters near Taiwan to a state of war. All ships coming to Taiwan can only enter and exit Tainan's Citong Port. All remaining ports are closed, and all ships are constantly warned. Taiwan
They will be treated as hostile ships and finally declare war with Japan.
The April 30 Declaration did not bring any big fluctuations. The Qing Dynasty and the envoys of various countries stationed in the Qing Dynasty did not express anything about the entire declaration. The Qing Dynasty was probably still fighting internally to defeat the war and had no time to pay attention to any declaration of Taiwan, and it had already ceded
I've given you a copy, du li no du
It has nothing to do with the imperial court; envoys from various countries saw that the entire Qing Dynasty had failed and how could a small island continue to fight, so they just regarded it as a way for some politicians to gain attention. It is estimated that when the Japanese warships
Once logged in, it disappeared.
Liu Fu doesn't care whether they pay attention or not. This declaration is mainly for the ideological unification of the island and the future fighting goals. You can't just do nothing and let everyone follow you to fight.
