On the day of the landing of the second group of so-called instructors of the Japanese Army, and the same day that Sun Wen secretly left, on the night of May 4, personnel from the Northeast Military Intelligence Bureau in various parts of Taiwan began operations throughout Taiwan.

Located in Taipei's Taiwan Governor's Mansion, after dark, hundreds of people suddenly appeared around the streets outside the mansion, although these hundreds of people wore different clothes, but each of them had a white cloth tied to their right arm, and hundreds of people were silent outside the governor's mansion, silently watching the gate of the governor's mansion.

Not long after hundreds of people came out, the door of the governor's mansion slowly opened with a creak, and out of it came out three soldiers wearing the uniforms of the patrol battalion, also wearing a white cloth tied to their right arms.

Hundreds of people outside poured into the governor's mansion under the command of one person in charge, and inside the gate of the governor's mansion, there were three soldiers of the patrol battalion who were tied up against the wall with five flowers, and there was a ball of cloth in their mouths, and the three soldiers of the patrol battalion who were tied up watched with a look of horror as hundreds of people with guns rushed into the gate of the governor's mansion.

The three soldiers of the patrol battalion who were tied up have not yet recovered their souls, and the other three colleagues who had just been guarding the gate in the governor's mansion with them suddenly became troubled and forced them to tie them up with rifles, and then the three colleagues took out white cloth and tied it on their right arm, and opened the gate of the governor's mansion, attracting hundreds of people to pour into the governor's mansion, what is going on?

However, the three soldiers of the patrol battalion who were tied up knew that the sky in Taipei was about to change.

() Taiwan Governor Tang Jingsong had just fallen asleep, and was woken up by a chaotic sound outside, Tang Jingsong frowned and was about to call his chief to ask what was going on outside, when he heard a bang. The door of his room was kicked open, and Tang Jingsong got up immediately. A group of men dressed in miscellaneous clothes and armed with firearms were spotted rushing in. "Governor Tang, we are members of the Xingzhong Society, and you have been captured by us!"

Tang Jingsong was stunned for a moment, and then his face was like ashes, it's over, how could the traitorous party suddenly pop up in Taipei, and he entered his governor's mansion lightly and blocked himself in the bedroom.

Before Tang Jingsong finished sighing, he was hugged by the people who came in. Tied him up, then put him in a side room, and left him alone.

These hundreds of people are the intelligence officers arranged by the Military Intelligence Bureau in Taiwan Province, and after the entire governor's mansion was charged, one intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau came to the side of the person in charge of the military intelligence bureau and said: "Section chief, Taipei's patrol battalion, telegraph office, treasury, and Taipei government have all been charged, and the brothers have not even fired a single shot, and our people have not lost, and now the whole of Taipei has been charged with us." ”

The head of MIA operations nodded in satisfaction. The fact that Taipei was able to fall into the hands of the Military Intelligence Bureau so lightly is also the result of the silent development of the Military Intelligence Agency in Taipei for many years, and what happened tonight will not only be played out in Taipei, but will also appear in all prefectures and counties of Taiwan Province.

"Wait for news from other provinces in Taiwan Province. Immediately use clear code to send a report announcing the recovery of Taiwan Province, and the name of the Xingzhong Association will be marked on the signature. ”

"Section chief. Don't worry, I know how to do it. ”

"In addition, I sue my brothers all over Taiwan. Prepare to welcome the stationing of the Dingbei Army brothers. ”

"Yes, Chief."

On the morning of May 5, a shocking news spread throughout the Qing Dynasty. Taiwan Province was completely occupied by the Xingzhong Society overnight, which made many people stunned and couldn't close their mouths, didn't the Xingzhong Society rely on the so-called instructor corps of the Japanese Army in Fujian Province to survive? How can we have the energy to occupy the entire Taiwan Province at once?

Although the 5,000 new troops in Taiwan Province have left Taiwan and entered Fujian Province to quell the rebellion, there are still thousands of officers and soldiers of patrol battalions in various parts of Taiwan Province.

Even the ordinary members of the Xingzhong Society were surprised, when did their organization arrange the restoration of Taiwan Province? There was no news at all beforehand.

As soon as Sun Wen left, there was something unbelievable to the high-level leaders of the Xingzhong Association, what Taiwan Province was recovered, and his own organization had no arrangements at all! What's going on? The high-level leaders of the Xingzhong Association immediately ordered people to investigate the situation in Taiwan Province, and prepared to find out the details of Taiwan Province and see where the revolutionary comrades appeared.

However, people have not yet recovered from the astonishing news that Taiwan Province has been occupied by the Xingzhong Society, and another thunderous news has come that Lin Daxin, the governor of 13 northern provinces, announced that in view of the situation in Taiwan Province, the Dingbei Army has decided to send troops to Taiwan Province to quell the rebellion, and at 4 p.m. on 5 May, the entire Taiwan Province has been recovered, and the rebel forces in various parts of Taiwan Province have been exterminated, and Taiwan Province will be temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Northern Governor-General's Office in the future.

When this thunderous news reached the ears of the Qing court, the Xingzhong Society, and foreign powers, the First Fleet and the Second Fleet of the Northeast Navy escorted more than 50,000 people from one infantry division of the 10th Field Army of the Dingbei Army to land at several ports on the island of Taiwan at the same time, and then, under the guidance of the personnel of the Military Intelligence Bureau, they took over the urban defense of various prefectures and counties in Taiwan Province.

At the same time, he followed the Dingbei Army to Taiwan Province, and the administrative personnel transferred from several northern provinces began to take over the administrative work of various prefectures and counties in Taiwan Province.

And Lin Daxin also sent a telegram to the Qing court, meaning that he was shocked to hear that Taiwan Province was occupied by the rebellious party of the Xingzhong Society, how could he, as the governor of the 13 provinces of the Qing Dynasty, let the rebel party be so rampant, in order to relieve the worries of the imperial court, he Lin Daxin has sent the Dingbei Army to quell the rebellion of the rebellious party of the Xingzhong Society, he Lin Daxin does not need to thank the imperial court, this is what he should do, if the imperial court has to thank him, it is better to hand over the post of governor of Taiwan to him Lin Daxin, if the imperial court is unwilling to give him the post of governor of Taiwan, then he will not let Taiwan out, You can't let him work in vain!

Emperor Guangxu took the telegram sent by Lin Daxin, and shouted angrily: "This Lin Daxin is so shameless, does he think he can't see through this little trick!" What kind of revival of the Chinese meeting, what kind of chaos in the party, it is obviously a play directed and acted by him Lin Daxin, just to rob our Taiwan Province, does he Lin Daxin still have a little courtesy, righteousness and shame! ”

I can't complain that Emperor Guangxu is angry, you say that you, Lin Daxin, are you not clearly taking Taiwan Province by force? And it was so obvious that in the morning Taiwan Province was occupied by the rebellious party of the Xingzhong Society, and then your Dingbei Army landed in Taiwan Province, wiped out the rebellious party of the Xingzhong Society with lightning speed, and announced the recovery of the entire Taiwan Province at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

It doesn't matter if you Lin Daxin delayed this time, it is more reasonable, now it is really beating the face of the Qing court!

The Empress Dowager Cixi sighed on the side and said: "If that rebellion had a little bit of courtesy, righteousness and shame, my Qing Dynasty would not be what it is now, but now is an eventful season, and the counterinsurgency in Fujian Province is the most important, I hope that the rebellion can be stopped by Taiwan Province." ”

Emperor Guangxu said unwillingly: "Dear father, do you want that Lin Daxin to succeed so lightly?" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi said helplessly: "Otherwise, what can I do?" Looking at the situation, that Lin Daxin is determined to win Taiwan Province, what method can we use, not to mention that Taiwan Province is isolated overseas, that is, next to the mainland, is Lin Daxin going to occupy it by force, what other way can we not do? ”

At this time, Prince Gong Yixin also smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, it seems to the ministers, let's bear it this time!" After all, Lin Daxin hasn't torn his face yet, and he has used the chaotic party to cover it up, if Lin Daxin blatantly occupies Taiwan Province, it will be a big trouble! ”

Emperor Guangxu suddenly drooped his head when he heard this, now Taiwan Province has been held by Lin Daxin, that Lin Daxin's greed has been recognized by the world, and it is difficult to let Lin Daxin spit out Taiwan Province, Emperor Guangxu said with some dejection: "When do we have to endure Lin Daxin?" The four northeastern provinces were occupied by him, we endured it, Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia were occupied by him, we also endured, Xinjiang was occupied by him, we still endured, and now it is the turn of Taiwan Province, that Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army is so strong, it is better to let Lin Daxin send troops into Fujian Province, and fight to the death with foreign troops and the army of the chaotic party, and the province will damage the army that the imperial court has worked so hard to raise! ”

"No!" Empress Dowager Cixi and Prince Gong Yixin shouted almost at the same time.

Prince Gong Yixin said: "Your Majesty, if Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army is allowed to enter Fujian Province, after driving away the foreign army and eliminating the rebellious army, Lin Daxin will inevitably swallow Fujian Province in one bite on the grounds that the imperial court asked him to send troops, so that Lin Daxin will drive a nail in the middle of our southern provinces, the threat to our southern provinces is too great, our Qing Dynasty's taxes mainly come from the southern provinces, and the southern provinces cannot let Lin Daxin interfere in it, which is the bottom line of our imperial court." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded and said: "What Prince Gong said is what Lao Cheng said, Fujian Province must be solved by ourselves, what is the situation in Fujian Province?" And what's going on with the reinforcements? ”

Emperor Guangxu also looked at Prince Gong Yixin, Guangxu just said that it was also angry to let Lin Daxin send troops into Fujian Province, he actually knew that Lin Daxin's Dingbei Army could not be allowed to enter Fujian Province, otherwise Fujian Province would not be surnamed Qing. Only by relying on the new army built by the imperial court at great expense over the years to quell the rebellion in Fujian Province.

Prince Gong Yixin replied: "Lafayette, Emperor, the 2nd town of the Wuwei Army, the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th towns of the Beiyang Army, and the 12th town of the Dingwu Army have set out from their respective stations and assembled in Handan, and then the army of the 6th town will go directly south to support the counterinsurgency army of Iktanga. This time, Li Zhongtang was very face-saving, and originally the minister was going to mobilize the Beiyang Army in 3 towns, but Li Zhongtang said in the telegram that because of the intervention of foreigners, the problem of Fujian Province was no longer as simple as counterinsurgency, and it was better to have more troops to fight with the armies of the great powers, so Li Zhongtang personally ordered the Beiyang Army of the 4 towns to raise troops to go south.
