On this day 119 years ago, on July 23, 1906 (June 3, 1906 in the lunar calendar), the fourth governor of Taiwan, Son Yuyuan Taro, passed away. The fourth governor of Taiwan, Son Yuyuan Taro (March 16, 1852 - July 23, 1906), the branch of the Changzhou Domain - Tokushan Domain was born (Zhounan City, Yamaguchi County), and the fourth governor of Taiwan during the Japanese rule (1898-1906). During his tenure as governor, Son Yu also held several positions in the central government (concurrently serving as the Minister of Army, Minister of Military Affairs, Minister of Education and Culture, etc.), and even led troops to participate in the Russo-Japanese War, so his time in Taiwan was very short. The person who was actually responsible for government affairs in Taiwan was Shinping Goto, the civil affairs chief. During this period, Taiwan's modernization was established, which was called the "Kodama and Goto era". In 1894, during the Sino-Japanese War (known in Japan as: daily clearance war), he served as a junior officer of the army, and was later promoted to general of the army. Later, he also served as the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Education and Culture, and was named a count. June 1899: Taro Yuyuan proposed a memorandum "concerning the past and future of Taiwan's rule", exposing the motivation for operating the Xiamen Port on the other side of Taiwan, and proposed the idea of setting up a branch (branch) of the Bank of Taiwan in Xiamen, in order to pave the way for Japan's strategy of moving south. In early November 1897, Chen Shaobai founded the Taiwan branch of the Xingzhong Association in Taipei, Taiwan under Japanese rule. The members were Yang Xinru, Wu Wenxiu, Zhao Manzhi, Rong Qinian, Zhuang and other five or six people, and gradually opened up the situation. Chen Shaobai went to Taiwan many times to guide the Taiwan branch of the Xingzhong Association, and successively obtained the support and assistance of Taiwan Governor Son Yuyuan Taro and Goto Shinping. In 1900, Sun Yat-sen planned an uprising in Huizhou, and Taiwan Governor Son Yuyuan Taro agreed with Sun Yat-sen's plan. He planned to support the Xingzhong Association to launch the Huizhou revolution and ordered the civil affairs chief Goto Shinping to assist Sun Yat-sen in Taipei. Later, due to the Japanese cabinet reorganization and policy changes, the new cabinet was unwilling to assist the Chinese revolution. The Huizhou revolution failed, Zheng Shiliang fled, and the Japanese Ueda Liangzheng and many Xingzhong Association members were killed by Manqing. Sun Yat-sen took the alias "Wu Zhong" on November 10, and took the "Yokohama Maru" with Goto Shinhei to set sail from Keelung to return to Japan. In 1903 (Meiji 36), Kodama (also known as Third Kong Ming), the successor of Lieutenant General Yoshiyuzao Tamura, became the army's deputy chief of staff (the chief of staff was Oyama). During the Russo-Japanese War, Taro Yuyuan was promoted to general and transferred to Manzhou Army Chief of General Staff, and supported Nogi Hidiori as the commander-in-chief of the battlefield in the battle for the 203 Heights. In 1906 (Meiji 39), Taro Yuyuan was transferred back to China and appointed to serve as the founding chairperson of the "Nanman Railway Co., Ltd." in Northeast China. After taking office, Taro Yuyuan formulated a plan to 500,000 the immigration of Northeast China in an attempt to modernize Northeast China. In 1907, while going to Northeast China for duty, he died of sudden illness on board, ending his life. Comments: The aggressor who once invaded China and committed crimes against China
