130 years ago today, on February 2, 1895 (January 8, 1895 in the lunar calendar), the Japanese army occupied Weihaiwei. On February 2, 1895, Weihaiwei fell. On January 20th, the Japanese army outflanked the back of Weihaiwei in two ways. Li Hongzhang strictly ordered Admiral Ding Ruchang not to fight and missed the opportunity. On the 22nd, Sun Wanling, an officer of the Qing military camp, led his troops to invade the Japanese army several times at Qiaotou, but was finally defeated due to lack of soldiers. On the 30th, the Japanese army occupied the South Bank Fort. Today, the Japanese army occupied the fort on the north shore again. Weihaiwei is located between Yantai and Chengshan, facing Lushun. Together with Lushun, it is the gateway to defend the Bohai Sea and one of the bases of the Beiyang Navy. In the Battle of Weihaiwei, the Qing army suffered another defeat, and the situation in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 became increasingly sinister.
