After silently watching a big scene, the Qing and French families were a little disappointed, but the ending of Manchuria and the British Empire was both satisfied. No matter what I looked forward to or worried about before, it doesn't exist now, and the two families will still play their own in the future.

The French saw that the British warships greatly surpassed their own, of course, they wished that their old opponent was unlucky, and the Manchurian Empire was temporarily unable to participate in the Qing-French war due to heavy losses, and the French were still very happy. The Qing army has always been worried that the British and French will join forces again, and this time the British have broken their feet, and the Qing Dynasty can be regarded as relieved. It's a pity that half of the Manchurian Navy is disabled, and the support outside the customs that the Qing Dynasty wants to penetrate is also useless.

External factors have to take a good breath and lick their wounds, and Qingfa can only fight again. Except for Vietnam, the Qing army had almost no room to attack, and could only defend it. Vietnam is already like that, both sides can't be arched, and there are many opportunities along the southeast coast, but the opportunities are all French. The French wanted to attack, but they could not move Vietnam, so they could only exert their strength along the southeast coast. However, the French army had limited troops, and they did not dare to go to war everywhere and go deep into the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, and they also knew that they would die an ugly death. Then a point that the French army has been concerned about for a long time appeared in the eyes of everyone, that is, Taiwan.

Cixi was very clever and ordered the Qing army to withdraw from Taiwan early, wanting to throw the burden of Taiwan to Manchuria, but she also made the common mistake of overestimating the mobility of the Qing army. The imperial court ordered the Qing army to retreat, but a large group of tens of thousands of people, where is it said that they can withdraw back. Therefore, when the French army attacked, although the Qing army was ready to retreat, they were still stationed in various parts of Taiwan.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the whole division of the Fayi army is coming, will our army retreat after the imperial court's decree, temporarily avoid the enemy's edge, and then retreat to the mainland from other places, and let the Manchurians and Fayi entangle!" The commander of the Far East Fleet, Gu Ba, personally led five warships and 3,000 French troops to attack the chicken coop again, and Cao Zhizhong, the chief soldier of Funing Town, did not know whether to fight or make peace, so he could only retreat to test the attitude of Liu Mingchuan, the governor of Fujian who had just taken office and the minister of the Qincha.

"The land of Taiwan has fallen into the hands of the feudal towns, but the only ones defended by our army are the land? If you retreat today, although there is no sin of abandoning the land, but the feelings of abandoning the people, how can my generation do it! Prepare for war and protect the neighbors of Sangzi Township! "Liu Mingchuan is not perfect, and he has a lot of problems, but let him throw his Taiwan compatriots to the French and kill him.

"Obey the teachings of your lords!" Cao Zhizhong is not greedy for life and afraid of death, what he wants is an attitude from Shangfeng.

As soon as the French approached the chicken coop, they began to bombard them heavily. Liu Mingchuan recruited militia groups from central Taiwan to rush north to help, and blocked the mouth of the Tamsui River, intending to prevent French ships from sailing into the riverbank. Two days later, Taiwan's military garrison Liu Xuan also sent Lin Chaodong and others to lead the Central Township Brave People's Regiment north to help defend the chicken coop and prevent the French army from landing. Liu Xuan also issued the "Regulations of the Whole Taiwan Fishing Group," ordering that all fishing groups be incorporated into water training groups to investigate the situation of French ships and prevent Han Chinese from smuggling with the French army. Liu Zhang's method was just in case, but he did not know that at this moment, the entire military and people in Taiwan were bent on meeting the enemy, and there were absolutely no traitors who betrayed the country and sought glory.

After five days of fierce shelling, the French army finally cleared the Qing army batteries on the periphery of the chicken coop and occupied the port of the chicken coop. However, when the Marines were dispatched to attack Jilong Street the next day, they were ambushed by Cao Zhizhong, suffered heavy losses, and could only retreat to the ship. Lonely had no choice but to lead the fleet back to Matsu. After joining the main force of the fleet, Guba returned to the chicken coop again, personally led five warships to the sea off the chicken coop, joined the six French ships that had been anchored here, and then sent his deputy commander Li Ships to lead four warships to attack Huwei, and he himself attacked the chicken coop with seven warships.

Because of the serious damage to the fort, Guba occupied Sheliao Island on the same day that he began to attack the chicken coop, and then landed in the chicken coop port, and the residents and foreign merchants in the city fled in large numbers. The next day, Cao Zhizhong led the Qing army to engage in street battles with the French army, and repelled the French army twice, but the French warships had destroyed all the nearby batteries, and the Qing army suffered heavy casualties under the suppression of the ship's guns. In the end, Liu Mingchuan decided to give up the chicken coop, so he ordered the chicken coop Qing army to retreat to Nuan Nuan and confront the French army in Qidu. After capturing the chicken coop, the French warships began to bombard Huwei in an all-round way, firing a total of one or two thousand shells, but only causing more than ten casualties among the Qing army.

Three days later, the French found help, bombarded Huwei again, and detonated* with the assistance of the British navigators, breaking through the naval blockade of the Qing army. Although the Qing Dynasty had begun to comprehensively clean up foreign navigators, it did not achieve immediate results, and many remnants remained in Taiwan. This British devil just wants to give full play to his spare heat before being laid off, help his white brothers, and pit his old club.

After the French army successfully landed, it immediately sent 800 marines to launch a landing battle. Because Liu Mingchuan did not send troops to support, Sun Kaihua, Zhang Gaoyuan, Liu Chaogu and others, the commander-in-chief of Zhangzhou Town, who were guarding the local area, could only lead 3,000 lone troops to ambush everywhere and attack the French troops. In the course of the battle, the Qing army was relatively numerous, commanded in an orderly manner, and did not lose to the French army, so the French army was trapped in the hollow woods by 1 p.m., suffered heavy casualties, and was forced to retreat back to the ship, and the Qing army successfully held Huwei. The next day, the French lowered their flags at half-mast to mourn the fallen soldiers, and the Qing army began to reinforce Huwei, with a local garrison of 6,000 troops. Three days later, the main force of the French battleships began to sail towards the chicken coop, and the landing force crossed the seven walls and approached Dadaocheng.

In the face of the French offensive, the Qing army's tactics were very flexible, and they did not blindly defend to the death, but began a tactical counteroffensive. Cao Zhizhong led a battalion of more than 1,000 soldiers to attack Shiqiuling in an attempt to regain the strategic location, but after being discovered by the French army, they shelled it from the top of the hill and strafed it with machine guns, and the Qing army was forced to retreat after suffering more than 40 casualties. At the same time, the French army encountered the Qing army when it was exploring Nuan Nuan, and with the support of Zhou Yuqian, the leader of the regimental training, and the support of Lin Chaodong and Cao Zhizhong, the French army was repulsed for three consecutive days.

After Liu Mingchuan led his descendants to move closer to the chicken coop, the Qing army began to plan to surround the chicken coop. However, more than 2,000 French "Afrika Korps" arrived at the chicken coop and began to advance towards Nuannuan, and the atmosphere of the decisive battle between the two sides was strong. Then it was a misfire, and the battle of Bird's Beak Peak broke out between the two sides. Due to the rapid reinforcement of the Qing army, the French army was forced to retreat the next day. Both Guba and Lesps believed that a land war should not be waged on Taiwan, but the French government, in order to increase the bargaining chips in future negotiations, still demanded that Guba win at least one victory and occupy the chicken coop mine. In July of the 10th year of the Chinese Revolution, about 3,000 members of the French Foreign Legion arrived at the chicken coop, and the total strength of the French Marine Corps reached nearly 13,000 men, which was enough to launch a land battle.

On 25 July, Lieutenant Colonel Li Weilin of the French Army commanded 10 squadrons with a total of 4,600 French troops to attack the Qing army's defense line in four ways, one of which attacked the rear of Shen'ao Keng, and the other three main forces attacked the Qing army's weakly defended Yuemei Mountain, so the first Battle of Yuemei Mountain officially broke out. At the beginning of the war, the militia stationed on Yuemei Mountain was defeated, and the French army captured the top of the mountain, but the next day Zhang Rengui and others led the army to counterattack, and Cao Zhizhong and Lin Chaodong, who defeated the French army on the other side of Shen'ao Keng, also rushed to support, and the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle. Under the command of Cao Zhizhong, the Qing army gradually forced back the French army, recaptured the top of the mountain, and finally the two armies established pillboxes at the top of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain respectively. After consolidating the defense, Cao Zhizhong and Lin Chaodong launched a night attack, and the two sides fought fiercely until the early morning of the next day before withdrawing their troops, and the battle ended. On the other hand, the Qing general Nie Shicheng arrived on 1 August with 800 Huai troops, while the French army finally captured Shiqiu Ridge, and the Qing army retreated to the south bank of the Jilong River. Subsequently, the Qing army reinforced several times, and the French army tried to capture the Dawulun fort guarded by Lin Chaodong, but they were unsuccessful.

The two sides rested for half a month, and the French army sent another 3,000 men to attack the Qing army's defense line, and the fire of the battle on Yuemei Mountain was ignited again. The French army first captured the defensive earthen wall of Shen'ao Pit, cut off the Xitai Mountain defended by Liu Chaoku, and then defeated the 800 reinforcements sent by Su Desheng, and surrounded the troops of Cao Zhizhong's headquarters on Yuemei Mountain, occupying the top of Yuemei Mountain. Cao Zhizhong launched a counterattack, slightly repelled the French army, and attacked the French army on the top of Yuemei Mountain the next day, but failed, and the militia group guarding Bird's Beak Peak was defeated on the same day, and the French army changed to besiege Cao Zhizong's headquarters by Pillow Mountain, Zhusong Mountain and Longtan Block, and sent troops from Bird's Beak Peak to the rear of Shen'ao Pit, and defeated Su Desheng, Liu Chaoku, Cao Zhizhong and other troops in order. By the end of August, the Qing army was left with only Lin Chaodong who was guarding the Dashui Cave and Su Shusen who was guarding the Sijiao Pavilion and retreated, but due to the rout of the main force, the two armies had to abandon their positions and cover the retreat of the main force of the Qing army to Nuannuan and Wudu on the south bank of the Keelung River. Liu Mingchuan personally led 800 Ming troops to rush to the aid of the six blocks, while the French army retreated to the north bank of the Keelung River due to the exhaustion of ammunition and the continuous heavy rain that night, and the water of the stream swelled sharply.

The chicken coop war did not go well, and the French government stopped the reinforcement of the chicken coop war and ordered Gu Ba to capture Penghu. Gu Ba could only lead the Far East Fleet eight warships to attack Magong City, the Qing army general Liang Jingfu defended the fortress of Sijiaozi and returned fire with artillery bombardment, but the French army had strong firepower, and by the beginning of September, the entire fortress was almost razed, and the Qing army defending the city suffered heavy casualties and completely collapsed, and the French army was able to successfully occupy Penghu.

After completely occupying the Penghu Islands, the French army once again turned to Taiwan. The Qing army no longer had the support of the mainland, and the imperial court repeatedly issued orders urging them to retreat, which was a good opportunity for the French army to capture Taiwan. As soon as the French ships approached Taiwan, seven destroyers flying the eight-star flag and holding the Japanese flag stopped in front of them. In front of the battleships of the British, the Seawolf-class destroyers were a little inadequate, but they still had a lot of surplus to pack up the outdated products of the French.

"The Qing Dynasty has handed over full power to Taiwan to the government of our Manchurian Empire, and Taiwan is now under the jurisdiction of the general of our Manchurian Empire, and all Qing troops will return to the mainland within three days. I ask your army to immediately stop all attacks on Taiwan, and all attacks on the land under the banner of the Eight Stars and the Sun are all provocations to His Majesty the General of the Manchurian Empire. If our Manchurian Army intervenes in the war, the French flag will completely disappear from the territory of Asia! "The Manchurian army sent an envoy, not only explaining the situation, but also issuing a threat to eat the fruit.
