late Qing Dynasty arrest

The city of Dagou (Kaohsiung) is [-] miles south of Taiwan.There are a large number of Japanese troops here to contain Liu Mingchuan's "Mingwu Army".

It turned out that the Japanese army was lax in detecting and fighting dogs.There are multiple cannons on it.But no gun mounts.There are only fixed cannons (old-fashioned Hongyi cannons).The Japanese army can build several forts in suitable places outside the city.No fierce fighting is required.The Qing army can easily surrender.Break through the dog.

Dagou is surrounded by a thirty-foot wall of granite.Even though the city wall that beats the dog is strong.But it is also difficult to resist the Japanese artillery.

early may.Lieutenant General Xixiang led two brigades of the Japanese army from Daoqin. More than 2000 Japanese soldiers and more than 4000 Beidong rebels.Jointly attack the dog.But at this time, the garrison fighting dogs has become the "Mingwu Army".Liu Mingchuan sent his most trusted lieutenant colonel Nie Shicheng to Dagou.The artillery of the Mingwu Army was fierce.The defense is tight.Nie Shicheng led two thousand Mingwu troops to fight fiercely with several times the enemy.The Mingwu army guarded the gate of the Taiwan government. .beat the dog.The Japanese army did not dare to invade the central plains.

The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties under the city of Dagou.In the end, it failed.The Japanese army's attack on Dagou ended in failure.Cut off the initial idea of ​​the Japanese army's development to the Midwest.This is also the fundamental reason why the Japanese army colonized the Shengfan area in eastern Taiwan. "Mingwu Army" has gained a reputation in the defensive battle against dogs.Nie Shicheng became famous in the first battle.

at this time.Only then did the Japanese find out.The weapons and equipment of the Qing army in Taiwan.It has been refreshed.The intelligence work of the Japanese army was backward.Misjudged the combat effectiveness of the Qing army. "Killing God" Liu Mingchuan is stationed in Taiwan.Put a lot of pressure on the Japanese army.Lieutenant General Xixiang inspected it moderately from the road.Change strategy.No longer take the initiative to attack the fortress of the Qing army.In order to occupy a place in "barbarous Taiwan".The Japanese army did not retreat from the Dagou area.Instead, stick to rural areas.Continue to fight with the Qing army.Want to defeat the Qing army in the wild.

after.Liu Mingdeng, the commander-in-chief of the Taiwan government, did not understand the situation clearly.I thought the Japanese army was vulnerable.The correct strategic goals were not formulated.Instead, he took the initiative to lead the 1000 "Jianwu Army" to attack.Lured by the Japanese army to Papaya Creek in the Pingtung Plain.The [-] Jianwu Army killed and injured more than [-] people.Liu Mingdeng led less than [-] defeated soldiers and fled back to Keelung Port.

After this battle.The morale of the Japanese army was greatly boosted.On the one hand, increase troops to Taiwan.While clearing the Paiwan tribe in Guishan.Exploitation of colonies in eastern Taiwan.

The Battle of Wangyue Township became a turning point in the battle on the Pingtung Plain.The Qing army took the initiative in terms of strength and psychology.Li Guolou implemented the strategy step by step tactically.Politically implement the policy of national reconciliation.Initial results.The hearts of the Beidong people are not in harmony.Leaders of various tribes surrendered to the Xinwu Army one after another.

In the small-scale battle on the Pingtung Plain.The Xinwu Army and the Changsheng Army carry forward the spirit of dedication.Charge ahead.At the cost of blood, they started round after round of contests with the Japanese army.The price of blood was exchanged for one victory after another.Annihilated more than 1000 Japanese troops.More than 3000 rebels.The Qing army won the initiative on the battlefield.Restore the disadvantages of the Qing army.The morale of the Qing troops from all walks of life was high.Started to actively attack the Japanese army.

The Qing army began a strategic counter-offensive.In order to regain the Pingtung Plain in one fell swoop.The Qing army joined forces.Li Guolou's 3 Xinwu Army (expanded), Bai Langning's [-] Ever Victorious Army (expanded), Liu Mingdeng's [-] Jianwu Army, and Liu Mingchuan's [-] Mingwu Army.And the armies of various ethnic minorities.A total of more than [-] Qing troops marched along the southern end of the Yushan Mountains.Launched an oppressive attack on the Japanese army.It is known as the one hundred thousand Qing army.

The Taiwan Mountain System is parallel to the northeast to southwest trend of Taiwan Island.Runs through the middle.Form a terrain that is high in the middle and low on both sides.Most of the mountains are concentrated in the east-central part.Form the eastern mountainous area.The Midwest fell.Finally, a vast coastal plain is formed in the western coastal area.

The central mountain range starts from the vicinity of Suao in the north.Nanda Eluanbi at the southern tip of Taiwan.It runs through the north-south center of Taiwan's main island.Become the backbone and watershed of the whole island.It is known as "the roof of Taiwan".Divide the entire island of Taiwan into two asymmetrical parts, the eastern small and the western large.

The Yushan Mountains run southwest.The upper reaches of Geezhui River at the northern end are adjacent to the Snow Mountains.From the southern end to the northern part of the Pingtung Plain.The total length is about 240 miles.The main peak of Yushan Mountain is 4000 meters above sea level.It is the highest peak of the entire island and the eastern part of the mainland.The top of Yushan Mountain is covered with snow all the year round.The color is as white as jade.Therefore, it is called "Jade Mountain".

fight.In fact, most of the time is marching.Want to win the initiative on the battlefield.First point.It is to expand the force.advantage geographically.In order to have the upper hand on the battlefield.This is what everyone in the Art of War calls "foresight".This time Liu Mingdeng learned the lesson from the failure of the previous conquest of the Pingtung Plain.There is no direct access to the hinterland of the Pingtung Plain.Instead, he personally led four thousand Jianwu troops to cross the snow-capped mountains.

Four thousand Jianwu troops raised food and fodder.It needs to pass through the Lumen Mountain area.It has been cut off by the people who were swept up by the Japanese army.It was barren.There is nowhere to raise food.The Jianwu army needs to carry two months' food and grass with the army.Difficulty.The conflict between Liu Mingdeng and the ethnic minorities in Taiwan was highlighted.At this time, coercive means cannot be used against ethnic minorities.Fortunately, the Taiwan Strait is unblocked.Shen Baozhen transported a large amount of food and grass to support the Jianwu Army.Shen Baozhen led the fleet to Keelung Port.Solved Liu Mingdeng's urgent need.

Liu Mingdeng saw Shen Baozhen coming.Then he complained full of complaints: "President Shen. Why did you come here? Taiwan should be taken care of by you. How can you take a heavy burden off. Instead, leave it to a young child."

Shen Baozhen laughed.There is no interface.Turn to look at the pier.There are some things that everyone complains about.Why doesn't he want to be the commander-in-chief of Taiwan.It's a pity that there are many difficulties that he can't solve.Fighting a war is fighting logistical support.Li Guolou lent 500 million silver dollars to the Qing government.In the early stage, he paid 500 million silver dollars out of his own pocket.This made Li Hongzhang buy a large amount of military supplies from the British Empire and Prussia.Li Guolou wants to be the commander-in-chief of Taiwan.Who dares to mess with Li Guolou.After all, Li Guolou's power was bought with money.

Who doesn't envy Li Guolou's luck.Both Shen Baozhen and Liu Mingdeng envied Li Guolou's military exploits.I also thought about if they commanded the battle against Japan.The war in Taiwan can end as soon as possible.

The pier is full of long husbands who carry goods.Carrying various strategic materials.I saw traces of the small steel cannon and the mountain splitting cannon.Liu Mingdeng was as excited as a child.The Jianwu Army finally looks like a modern army.

Shen Baozhen asked: "Liu Zhentai. How is the war going now? It was reported in the mansion newspaper that [-] Japanese troops were wiped out. Is it true?"

Liu Mingdeng said with a smile: "Our army has already started a strategic counterattack. The battle on the Pingtung Plain. Although our army suffered heavy casualties, we have a strong rear. The losses will be made up soon. The rebel army is getting weaker and weaker. It will be over soon. The Japanese army dare not move out. As for the nonsense in the mansion newspaper. Why do you go to see it."

"Then how many troops are there in the Japanese army? Can you give me a real number." Shen Baozhen is most concerned about the strength of the Japanese army.Want to get it from Liu Mingdeng's mouth.Hear the truth.

Liu Mingdeng said seriously: "The Japanese army failed in the Diaoyu Islands naval battle. The Japanese navy has become more and more cautious. Logistics transportation is often attacked by our army. It is becoming more and more difficult to supply. The main force of the Japanese army is huddled in the Guishan area. It should not exceed [-] soldiers and horses. According to my opinion, the maximum is [-] soldiers and horses. If it is fought until next spring, I think the Japanese army will cause a famine. It is a pity that Li Guolou does not use my strategy. This person is too weak. He is not expected to be a commander.”

Shen Baozhen didn't know the conflict between Liu Mingdeng and Li Guolou.Asked: "Liu Zhentai. What plan do you propose to Li Guolou?"

"During the war, war means must be used. Charity doesn't command soldiers. I proposed to Li Guolou. Burn all the crops and villages on the Pingtung Plain, so that the Japanese army cannot harvest autumn grain in Pingtung. As long as the winter is moved, the Japanese army will be defeated. Unexpectedly, I was scolded by Li Guolou. He said that I would drive the Beidong and Paiwan people to a dead end. He also said that I was a sinner through the ages. The crime of betraying the motherland by the Beidong people was pinned on my head. You said you are not angry." Liu Mingdeng kicked his feet angrily.Put a gravel on the ground.Kick out three feet away.

Shen Baozhen still knows the general situation.Consolation: "Liu Zhentai. Don't be angry. Li Guolou has his own reasons. This kind of tactical disagreement is harmless. Li Guolou is quite generous. He is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable. As long as he recovers Taiwan lost ground. The credit cannot be missed.”

"He's the commander-in-chief. Whatever you say, I'll do. You know that. I'm a person who can't hide my words. It's just a few complaints. I don't need Lao Tzu's strategy. It's just that Li Guolou's strategy is too conservative. .Professing to have the true biography of Commander Zuo. I think it is a tiger that is not a dog. It is more courageous than a mouse. If I were Xixiang, I would definitely kill him. Let me tell you?????? "Liu Mingdeng dragged Shen Baozhen along.Together to the command room.Liu Mingdeng looked down on Li Guolou's strategic deployment from the bottom of his heart.Nothing new.Talk about it.It's a quick attack.Li Guolou is not as good as one of his counselors.This kind of person can still be the commander-in-chief of Taiwan.There are still a few wins.It doesn't make sense.I only blame myself for losing in the first battle.Let the Jianwu Army still can't lift its head up to now.Not even the right to speak in the military.He actually wants to listen to the military orders of a young child.

Liu Mingdeng trained eight thousand soldiers and horses.Coupled with the supply of a large number of weapons and ammunition.Emboldened.Just want to approach the Japanese army's lair. .Kameyama.Fight to the death with the Japanese army.But the tactical deployment, Li Guolou, has already been formulated.He can only obey military orders.Fight step by step.Many tactical constraints.Let Liu Mingdeng be full of complaints.

Shen Baozhen kept comforting Liu Mingdeng.Ask Liu Mingdeng to focus on the overall situation.Don't violate Li Guolou's military orders.

Liu Mingdeng expresses his feelings.Make big plans in the war room.Pointing to the mountains and rivers of Taiwan.The tactical deployment he formulated.The biggest difference is where to attack first.

Liu Mingdeng wanted the [-] Qing army to be the main force.Straight to the Pingtung Plain.Recover large areas of lost ground first.And the tactical deployment formulated by Li Guolou.The primary goal is to recover strategically important areas.There is no decision to aggressively capture the Pingtung Plain.The two have different philosophies.

As for who is right and who is wrong.Heroes speak their minds.The benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

How dare Liu Mingdeng disobey military orders.Let out a grievance.Just follow the tactics formulated by Li Guolou.Arrange all kinds of soldiers and horses.

Liu Mingdeng's meticulous demeanor.Shen Baozhen was relieved.Allow so many officers to carry out military orders.Explain the tactics developed by Li Guolou.There are no major flaws.At least it won't kill itself.

When he entered the army, Liu Mingdeng sent troops to specialize in transshipment.Order the rear of the Jianwu Army to store grain and grass in Lumen Mountain and other places for three months.Autumn grains in the Pingtung Plain are harvested at the end of September.Liu Mingdeng then chose the timing of the march to be in the harvest season.to get food locally.

the end of July.Liu Mingdeng thought everything was ready.He considers himself superior to Li Guolou.Already impeccable.He ordered more than 7 battalions of the Qing army to advance in three ways.

On the middle road, Fu Xianchu led his army to cross the river thirty miles north of Didao.On the left, Yang Shidai led his army to enter Xiacheng through Nanping, south of Didao.On the right, Liu Mingdeng led his troops from Maying to the Datu River via the Red Clay Kiln.To prevent the Japanese attack.It is stipulated that half of the troops in the middle road should be stationed on the north bank.Half of them crossed the Datuo River to build fortresses.The left and right roads waited for the middle road to gain a firm foothold in Henan before crossing the river.

Everywhere the Qing army entered.Each faction branched out and swept forward.In an attempt to drive the Beidong Army, which was scattered on the south bank of the Datu River, to Paijiaya.Force him to fight back.To achieve the goal of "gathering and annihilating them".

Beidong Army to shorten the front.Harassment and blocking were carried out on the north bank of the Datuo River.After killing the Qing army.That is to say, it was withdrawn to Henan.It was stationed in the Armorji area ten miles from the south bank of the Datuo River.Want to stop the Qing army with dense jungle.

Liu Mingdeng's strategy for Li Guolou.Actually full of complaints.Let the strong "Jianwu Army" go through the jungle and climb the snow-capped mountains.Slow down and rush.To fight the Beidong Army who betrayed the Qing Dynasty.Isn't this overkill.But now Li Guolou is the highest military officer in Taiwan.Liu Mingdeng failed to convince Li Guolou.Instead, he was persuaded by Li Guolou.He personally led the [-] Jianwu Army to take the lead in a decisive battle with the main force of the Beidong Army.

also.Li Guolou ordered Admiral Bai Langning to lead the Changsheng Army to accompany Liu Mingdeng to cross the Datu River.at the same time.Li Yunchu was sent to lead the fifth battalion of Xinwu troops stationed in Pinglin and Pingxi towns.He also transferred the chieftain of the Heishan nationality to Yu Ronggu to bring "Fan Yong" to each pass.Both were controlled by Browning on the left.He also transferred the second battalion of Nie Shicheng's army and the third battalion of the cavalry.[-]st Battalion of Artillery.From Dagou to Baiji Mountain.Prevent large groups of Japanese troops from advancing northward.And take into account Liu Mingdeng's army.Li Guolou himself also visited the Xindian area of ​​the Pingtung Plain.Take direct command of the battle.

The Beidong army stepped up preparations to defend against the Qing army's attack.The Beidong army retreated to the south bank of the Datuo River.Together with the Japanese army, they built some fortresses on the south bank of the Datu River.Begin to rely on the fort.Take the tactics of blocking the Qing army step by step.Want to rely on fortress tactics.The Qing army was massacred.

Armor collection and Didao on the south bank of the Datuo River.These are the two entrances and exits of Beidong Army.There is no danger to retreat further.Since Liu Mingdeng crossed the Datu River.The three-way army stormed Didao.With powerful firepower.Didao regained in one fell swoop.Eliminate more than 1000 Beidong troops. More than 200 Japanese troops.

After the Jianwu Army occupied Didao.The Armor Collection became the only way for the Beidong Army and the Japanese Army to enter and exit Yushan.therefore.The Beidong Army focused on strengthening the defense around the armor set. The "King of Beidong" Luo Xingban did not want to go back and went to fight in the Pingtung Plain.The Beidong Army fought on the plains.Not an opponent of the Qing army.

Military weaknesses in plain warfare.Both the enemy and the enemy know each other clearly.usually.Plain warfare is a war of attrition.In the end who consumes the troops.Both the enemy and the enemy are very clear in their hearts.The Japanese army, who is not afraid of death, is also unwilling to compete with the Qing army for consumption.What's more, the number of Beidong Army is getting smaller and smaller.

The strategy formulated by the Japanese War Department.It is to let 6000 Beidong troops stick to the armor set.Relying on natural dangers to block the Qing army.In order to boost the morale of the Beidong Army.Lieutenant General Xixiang Congdao stationed [-] Japanese troops in Paijiaya.A total of more than [-] people gathered at the armor set.The Japanese army no longer believed in Taiwan's ethnic minorities.In order to prevent the [-] Beidong troops from "revolting" on the battlefield. "Prince of Beidong" and "Minister of Prime Minister" Luo Shijie personally led an army of [-].
