With the support and cooperation of Xu's volunteers and the masses, the counterattack won a major victory. At the end of July, when he led the army to attack the city, he was stopped by the Japanese army. Jiang Shaozu led more than 100 soldiers to retreat into the bamboo forest and continue to fight.

In the spring of 1895, hating Japan for forcing the Manchu Qing government to cede Taiwan, and unwilling to be a slave to the subjugation of the country, he scattered his family wealth and raised more than 500 villagers around Beipu to resist the Japanese invading forces from Keelung and Taipei, and contacted Xu Xiang, Wu tangxing and other resistance forces to cooperate and fight together. The Japanese guards division, which once attacked the invaders in the Dahukou area of Hsinchu. Before long, the Japanese army was under heavy pressure and was captured.

In the book "leaving school to present students", it is said that "the book curtain does not come out, changing military clothes, vowing to drive Hu Chen to build a banner of righteousness; the scholar he Gu runs to the national calamity, everyone has the responsibility to settle down in his hometown." In the poem of Jueming, it is said that "the border garrison is a lonely army, and it can be seen from the broken heart that a man should plan for his country, and how dare he give birth to the enemy."

marriage

Chen Manmei (1875-1914) was born into a famous family in Toufen of Miaoli County. She was the daughter of Chen Changqi, the eldest son of the reclamation family. Wei Zao was a scholar. At that time, she was already a famous person in Toufen area, and her poems were unique. In 1894, Jiang Shaozu was 19 years old. Under the arrangement of his mother, he married his 20-year-old man Mei. When the bride got married, she wore a phoenix crown and was carried by a red light four sedan chair. The people who met and saw her off arranged a long line of snakes. Together with countless dowries, she drove from Toufen to Beipu, which made a sensation. The marriage between Shaozu and Manmei can be said to be a match.

Man Mei

On July 11, 1895, Shaozu died peacefully in zhentou mountain. At that time, the Japanese army did not know that Shaozu had died. They searched his home, took his family members and threatened him to spit with knives and guns. However, Manchu's younger sister did not change her color. She calmly told Japanese Army Sasaki Zhaoshan, "my husband has died in the battlefield for his country, and I am his wife. Today, if you want to kill him, you can kill her." As soon as Sasaki listened to his strong words, he finally explained it in terms of Bushido and righteousness. This shows that Chen Manmei is brave and fearless.

The pain of bereavement

The early death of Shaozu not only means the loss of a partner, but also means the loss of the pillars of the family. Even if she has to face the pain of her husband's death during her wedding, her daughter-in-law, as a mother-in-law, naturally becomes her mother-in-law's support. Facing her mother-in-law who has lost her son, she should not only endure her own pain, but also act as her mother-in-law's support. For a daughter-in-law who is still adapting to the new environment, she can only suppress her own emotions and avoid causing the burden of other family members.

Inheritance of blood

For men, losing their partner may be a chance to remarry, but for the conservative and traditional society at that time, the husband was irreplaceable. Chen Manmei still had a posthumous son, inheriting the blood of the Jiang family. Naturally, she became the object of hope and maintenance. When the Japanese were closely monitoring and frightened, she deliberately kept a low profile in the Jiang family 32 days later Under the arrangement, Zhenyi was born in a tenant farmer's house in remote Emeishan district. Because the Hakkas had a roof under which they would rather die than live, so as not to let the baby share the property in the future, Manmei finally built a shed behind the tenant farmer's house, which was very difficult to produce.

fatalism

Chen Manmei married the Jiang family at the age of cardamom. It was supposed to be a family match, but she suffered from the transition of political power and the broken family. In order to protect the dignity of the country, Jiang Shaozu not only lost his life, but also put his family in danger. As a result, Zhen Li, the son of Shaozu, still had some scruples in compiling the genealogy during the Japanese occupation, so he completely deleted the information on his father's column After decades of hard work, Chen Manmei, the wife of the martyr, was even more difficult to explain. Without the male's deeds, the further records of Chen's family can not be found in the family history. Only 19 years later, that is, one week after Chen got married in 1914, he died of illness at the age of 40.

Regime change

Jiang ronghua (1832-1877), the head of the third generation of Jin Guangfu's reclamation households, had two wives, and Hu Yuanmei (1831-1887, died the second year after Liu Mingchuan carried out the cutting of the pass). Song Songmei (1854-1933), Ronghua's second wife, became the main leader of the Jiang family in 1895 when the Jiang family was faced with a great impact from the Qing Dynasty to the Japanese occupation. Song Songmei experienced the change of Liu Mingchuan's policy of cutting the pass in the late Qing Dynasty, and also suffered the pain of the Qing and Japanese regimes rushing down alternately and losing close relatives. Under the cruel test of national death and family hatred, as an important elder in the family, how the Song family led the Jiang family through the ups and downs to maintain the development of the family. The song Songmei, who is called "Mother Song" by the Jiang family, must have a strong character. Song's personality is gentle and gentle. The song's personality recognized by later generations is quite different from that of Dafang Hu's. However, when the family is in trouble, song's toughness is outstanding, which is highly praised by the whole Jiang family.

personality

Song's personality is simple, and he doesn't like to dress up more. In summer, he usually wears linen underwear inside and dark blue Hakka cardigans over the knee outside, and only two or three of them are replaced. In winter, he adds a lamb (sheep coat). At that time, most of the women of the Jiang family lived in their homes. They often brought various styles of cloth to the Jiang family in the cloth merchants to let the women's families choose, and then hired a garment maker to Tianshui hall to make clothes for the women's families. It's a woman's nature to love beauty. There are many women in the Jiang family who like to dress up. However, although the Song family is the daughter of a big family and has no worries about food and clothing, they do not pursue fashion and fashion at all. From this, we can see the frugal and simple personality of the Song family. According to the registered residence data of the Japanese occupation period, Song family was a large Lakers in the Great Lakes township of Hsinchu, and the Song family had considerable financial resources at that time. Song Songmei and Jiang ronghua have two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter marries shuqilin xinhaodipeng house, and the second daughter marries xinpuliwu. They are all married to the local rich and famous families. Jiang Shaozu (1876-1895), the only son of the Song family, marries Chen Manmei (1875-1914), the daughter of the famous family in Toufen district.

Important force

The Jiang family played a very important role in the development of the northern mountainous area of Taiwan, especially the successful land development of the jinguangfu pass in the southeastern mountainous area of Hsinchu, which made the later Jiang family continue to accumulate land and become important landlords in the local area. At the same time, they also promoted the status of the whole family in Northern Taiwan through the participation of political affairs. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early period of Japanese occupation, the family suffered two major blows. One was Liu Mingchuan's policy of cutting down the pass in 1886, which weakened the influence of the Jiang family in land reclamation. The other was the war of 1895, in which Jiang Shaozu, the only adult man of the Jiang family, spent a lot of money to fight against Japan and trained the volunteers of ganziying. With the withering and premature death of the Jiang family's men, the industry is almost in the state of being run by no adult male. Under the condition that the man in charge of the family dies early and the subsequent men have not yet grown up, the women in the family are bound to step forward to maintain the operation of the family.

mistress

Although the eldest son Jiang Shaoan (1853-1870) and the second son Jiang Shaoji (1862-1889) of ronghua Dafang were not born to song Songmei, Jiang Zhengan (1885-1921), who was the son of Shaoji, was still respectful to song's mother when he later took charge of the business of the Jiang family. Before the separation, he had to consult song's opinion before taking action. The decision-making power of land business in his family was in Song's hands They have mastered the important decision-making power in the family and surpassed the authoritative position of family men. When Mozi Shaozu took part in the Anti Japanese sacrifice at the end of the second century and her family was in trouble, Songmei was especially able to deal with the situation calmly and save from danger, which had a great influence on the stability of the Jiang family. In 1933, Songmei finished her life at the age of 80. In the hearts of the descendants of the Jiang family, Songmei is undoubtedly the most noble and influential mother of ronghua Yifang.
