Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    August 1, 1895 was the day when Nogi Nogi was captured alive and the entire second division of the invasion of Taiwan was destroyed. It was also the day when the Japanese army suffered the most disastrous failure in its invasion of Taiwan. When Yu Xiaocheng looked at the calendar, he couldn't help but understand.  He smiled because he knew that on August 1st, 58 years later, gunshots in Nanchang City rang out throughout the night sky. After several hours of fierce fighting, the rebel army finally occupied the entire city of Nanchang, which also meant a powerful force that would influence future generations for hundreds of years.  The birth of the army, it was this day that became the founding anniversary of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, but it was not until 1933 that Army Day was truly born, and the first festival celebration was held in Ruijin, Jiangxi.

    For Yu Xiaocheng, this day is a day worthy of a special celebration, because this day not only means the coming of Nogi Nogi, but also means the complete failure of the Japanese invasion of Taiwan.

    Whether it was Kitabikawa Nohisa's Guards Division, Fushimi Miya Sadae's Fourth Brigade, or Nogi Nogi's Second Division, they all fell at the hands of the Red Label Army, which had only been established for three and a half months.  The number of Japanese troops annihilated alone exceeded 40,000. This does not include the 100,000 Japanese civilians who were infected and died by being sent back to the Japanese mainland from the wounded who were infected with the plague virus in the Battle of Aodi. The invasion of Taiwan not only  It dealt a very heavy blow to the fighting spirit and confidence of the Japanese army, and also caused an indelible plague disaster to the Japanese mainland.

    This day also meant the complete end of the war in Taiwan. Tens of thousands of Japanese troops sank into Jitai Island, but less than a thousand of them returned to the mainland alive. The stragglers who were scattered across Taiwan were either swallowed up by the jungle or killed by the Red Army.  The Biao Army or the local rebels were rounded up and eliminated. Even if they surrendered to the Red Biao Army, most of them were thrown into prisoner-of-war labor camps to work as coolies and slowly spend the rest of their lives.

    The significance of this day is so great that Yu Xiaocheng, of course, mercilessly designated it as the Army Day of the Red Standard Army. It was also from this day that this new army had its own program, and it also had its own program with  The powerful army of later generations had a common day of festival.

    Yu Xiaocheng was sitting quietly in the inner room of the governor's office. At this time, he was the only one in the inner room. Lin Shixiu, Wu Xueli, Sun Xiaozhen, and Li Yumei were driven to the outer room of the signing room. He was now  You need to have a quiet space and time for yourself to make small preparations for exciting moments.

    He stood in front of the only mirror in the inner room and looked at himself in the mirror carefully. When he had just traveled to the time and space of 1895 three and a half months ago, he was still a year's childish youth, but now he looked tired.  His appearance was shabby, and even the wrinkles on his forehead had a few shallow marks.

    This short period of more than a hundred days was even richer and more thrilling than the 24 years he had experienced before. He never thought that one day he would create an army with his own hands, or even create an army.  The country never thought that it had really changed history, starting with Taiwan and then changing the destiny of the entire China.

    He took a deep breath and reached out his hand to gently touch his face. Now he not only has the elegant and handsome features of Hollywood star Keanu Reeves, which fascinates girls, but also has the features of a mature man.  He is rational, calm, steady, wise, decisive and confident. Any expression between his brows is likely to determine someone's life or death, rapid rise or decline. Now he has not only become the heart of everyone in the Red Label Army  He is sacred and is an idol worshiped by the entire Taiwanese people. He can no longer be the young and energetic young man he once was. As a leader, he leads thousands of people to a path from which they can never look back.  journey.

    "Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door outside. He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the door, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

    What came from outside the door was Lin Shixiu's voice, and she was heard to say: "Report to the leader, it's getting late. The Army Day celebration ceremony will start soon. Everyone is already waiting at the venue. Do you want to go over now?"

    Yu Xiaocheng pondered for a moment and said, "Wait for me for another five minutes!"

    "Yes, leader!" Lin Shixiu saluted outside the door through the door of the inner room on the first floor.

    Yu Xiaocheng turned his gaze back to himself in the mirror. In five minutes, he would leave this small room and attend the first celebration of the Red Label Army's Army Day held outside the city with the participation of tens of thousands of people. This night, the entire city of Taipei was  Shrouded in colorful lights and joy, everyone seemed to be ushering in an extremely grand and sacred program. They all rushed to the celebration site outside the city to celebrate not only the Army Day of the Red Label Army, but also the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War in Taiwan.  Total victory.

    Except for Yang Bin, Lin Qingshu, Xiao Nai, Li Nan, Xu Xiang and Qiu Debiao who were far away in southern and central Taiwan, as well as Wu Yipeng and others who hurried to Budaizui to pick up Lin Shaomao to escort Nogi Xidian back to Taipei, they were unable to arrive in time.  Returning to Taipei to celebrate, Lin Shiming from Keelung, Liu Fuchen and Zeng Zhiqiang from Ruifang, and Li Jiacai from Huwei all rushed to Taipei overnight to participate.This was a grand and solemn event for the Red Label Army, and Qiu Fengjia, who was already far away in the mainland, even sent a telegram to celebrate the Red Label Army's first Army Day, not to mention Zheng Yi, the head of the General Staff in Taipei, and the Taipei City  Changlian Chaogang, Chief Military Instructor Hans Jahn, General Logistics Minister Lin Yonglian, Director of Military Law Zhang Taoqiang, Director of Military Intelligence He Zhiqiang, Grenadier Brigade Captain Sun Shimeng and other ministers who followed the dragon, even supplied a large amount of supplies to the Red Label Army.  Von Deckerby, the head of the arms and ammunition company Zen Chen & Co., as well as the British Consul in Taiwan, Thomas Buckley, the British Consul in Taiwan, Thomas Buckley, the dean of the British Presbyterian Church in Taiwan, and various other foreign businessmen also actively participated in this event.  , because they will jointly prove that after more than a hundred days of bloody battles, a powerful army has been reborn from nirvana and transformed into a new army that can compete with the great powers.

    Of course, not to mention the hundreds of well-known Taiwanese wealthy gentry who heard about this event and came all the way to celebrate. Everyone hopes to get closer to the Red Label Army and get a share of this thriving army.  The organizer didn't even need to pay, and many gentry generously donated money. As a result, Lian Chaogang, who was worried about organizing this event, only had to worry about money.

    For Lin Shixiu and others who were guarding the door, five minutes was a very short time and passed quickly. But for Yu Xiaocheng, these five minutes were extremely long, because in these five minutes, what he was thinking about,  The things he reviewed were like a replayed movie reel, replaying his experiences of more than a hundred days scene by scene at an extremely fast speed, as if in these five minutes, he had experienced more than a hundred days of hardship again.  And turbulent times.

    Before entering the deposit room, he received a secret report about Jinguashi and Jiufen gold mines from Liu Fuchen who came from Ruifang. Jinguashi alone is an area of ??only 5 square kilometers, and can produce 500 tons of gold.  The annual output can even be as high as 5 tons. About two-thirds of the annual gold output of the entire Qing Dynasty came from Jinguashi. It can be imagined that the Jinguashi gold mine is rich, and the annual output of Jinguashi alone can be enough to support  This amounts to a year's cost of raising troops for the Red Standard Army, not to mention the gold mines from the Jiufen area and mineral resources from other parts of Taiwan.

    Yu Xiaocheng has even calculated that due to the premature defeat of the Japanese invaders in Taiwan, the silver salary he consumed in more than a hundred days was only a quarter of what he had on hand, and he also had as much as three million taels of silver from various places.  The donation has not yet been spent. If he can stabilize the situation in Taiwan for a year, with the money he has on hand, he will not only be able to train a powerful new army of 100,000 people, but also have enough silver to buy Western goods.  Battleships truly start the battle for hegemony in the East Asian ocean.

    Although Taiwan is a remote place for the mainland, in Yu Xiaocheng's eyes, it is as full of wealth as Robert Louis Stevenson described in "Treasure Island". As long as it can free him up to run Taiwan with peace of mind,  In a few years, he was sure to change the destiny of China and even East Asia.

    "Navy, Navy!" He let out a long sigh. The disastrous defeat in the Dadonggou Naval Battle of Sino-Japanese War was not only a disastrous defeat for the Qing Dynasty, but also a thorn in the hearts of every loyalist in future generations, making all people with self-improvement  The Chinese people with a deep heart feel a dull pain in their hearts every time they mention it, and they feel even more humiliated and ashamed. Even after the Republic of China, even after the Republic, this shame will never be eliminated unless it is avenged by the Japanese navy.

    "Since the Sino-Japanese naval battle will no longer be seen in the era I traveled through, let me personally ignite it in this new historical era of 1895!" He clenched his fists, and his eyes were burning with boiling.  Flame, although the war in Taiwan is over, he also said that the war has just begun. The war against Japan has begun, just like the moving thunder car, rolling forward and never stopping.

    Standing in front of the mirror, he silently took out a small badge from his coat pocket. It was a cross between a lance and a rifle. He carefully pinned the badge on the top of his left chest.  , then gently touched the x-shaped badge, looking at himself in the mirror, with a knowing smile on his face.

    The five minutes were up. He strode to the door of the inner room and opened it. When Lin Shixiu and others who had been waiting in the outer room saw this, they immediately stood upright and saluted, and said loudly: "Report to the leader, all members of the Internal Security Department.  The members are ready, please give instructions from the leader!¡±

    Yu Xiaocheng¡¯s eyes fell on the same x-shaped badge logo on their left chests, and nodded slightly. Lin Shixiu and others also glanced at the other x-shaped badge logo on the leader¡¯s chest out of the corner of their eyes, and they all smiled excitedly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, the First Day celebration venue is outside the city, still some distance away from the governor¡¯s office, so don¡¯t be late!¡± Yu Xiaocheng looked at Lin Shixiu and others, looked at the x-shaped badges on their chests, and smiled knowingly.

    There were already two neat rows of internal security soldiers standing outside the door of the signing room. When they saw the leader walking out of the signing room,??, an internal security officer shouted loudly: "The highest salute to the leader!"

    With a "crash", the soldiers of the Internal Security Department, who stood neatly and straight as if they were one person, vigorously raised the bayonet of the Mauser rifle and solemnly saluted Yu Xiaocheng with a gun salute. Everyone's face was filled with confidence and admiration.  , everyone also had the same x-shaped badge pinned on their chest.

    "The new army, the new Socialist Party, and the new journey begin on this day!" Yu Xiaocheng raised his head and looked at the night sky above his head. The night at this time was like an endless sheet inlaid with countless dazzling sapphires.  The carpet was constantly shining in the darkness. Looking at the young and energetic faces in front of him, he felt an endless energy all over his body. He also felt an unstoppable momentum that was not afraid of difficulties.  Don't be afraid of hardships and dangers, move forward bravely, and keep charging and moving forward towards the unpredictable and mysterious future.

    "Today is your show and our show, long live the Red Label Army!" When he raised his arms and roared into the quiet night sky, all the surrounding Red Label Army cheered.

    "Long live! Long live the Red Label Army! Long live the leader!"
