The United States has always been stubborn about China's Taiwan issue. In recent times, it has frequently made small moves in an attempt to obstruct China's unification and development.
In fact, history has long proved that the US's evil intentions are doomed to fail.
As early as 1867, two warships of , , landed in Taiwan, attempting to invade Taiwan with armed forces.
According to the records of " Taiwan General History Volume 14. Diplomacy Chronicles. The Battle of the American Ship" , the whole story is as follows:
On the ninth day of March that year, the American merchant ship Rofo hit a reef near Langqiao (now Hengchun Peninsula) in southern Taiwan, and the captain Masid took his crew ashore in Langqiao.
Taiwanese indigenous Scarot people Generated live there for generations. They are brave and good at fighting and have a strong sense of territory. He was merciless to the invaders and killed Masid and others.
But one of the Guangdong sailors hid in the grass and escaped. After escaping from death, he ran to the government office established by the Qing government in Taiwan overnight to report to officials.
But the Qing government at that time was powerless against the indigenous people of Taiwan and could not control it at all.
At that time, a British warship was in Anping . The British did not take the Scarlo people seriously and agreed to go and avenge the Americans. As a result, after going there, I was beaten back and didn't get any benefits.
So the United States had to send troops on its own. This time, Bell, commander of the East India Fleet, personally led two warships, a total of 181 soldiers, and rushed towards Langqiao with great momentum.
But Scarot people have the right time and place. They are good at using the terrain, and they have proper tactics and are brave.
In the dense primeval forest, with the steep terrain, the Scarots cleverly avoided the disadvantage of weapons, and were elusive and caught the invaders off guard.
In the end, the Americans paid a heavy price. Deputy Commander Markkick drowned , and the remaining soldiers had to return to the ship. After the defeat of
, the Americans still did not give up. They wanted to pull the Qing government to send troops together. But the Qing government did not send troops, so this battle could not be fought at all.
Now the Americans finally understood that the problem could not be solved by force, so they had to send someone to negotiate.
In fact, the Scarot people are not unreasonable. The two sides only have different cultures and different ideas.
The two sides finally reached an agreement that if anyone landed in the future, they would raise the red flag as a signal and be safe and sound. After
, there is no event like Rofo .
But things didn't really end...
, who was negotiated with the Scarlets, , who used his understanding of Taiwan, became the leader of Japan's invasion of Taiwan soon after.
