Later, Tongan people in Quanzhou were defeated in the battle of Mongga classification in 1853, and had to move the whole clan to Avenue City to do business, which also developed. At this time, a lively Taipei settlement supported by Mongga and Da Daocheng has begun to take shape. However, at that time, Mengga and Dadaocheng, which had a large population, were still under the jurisdiction of the remote freshwater hall.
187 1, which happened in the Peony Society in the south of Taiwan Province Province, hundreds of kilometers away from Taipei, was the remote cause of Taipei's establishment. Due to the Peony Club incident, the Qing Dynasty, which lost the suzerainty of Ryukyu, finally realized the ambition of Japanese imperialism to expand its territory. On the other hand, the Qing court also greatly changed the cognition of Taiwan Province's strategic position. The Qing Empire finally understood that Taiwan Province Province was an outpost to stop Japanese aggression against China. Therefore, I wanted to use Taipei to upgrade my defense against Emperor Guangxu of North Taiwan Province Province, and approved the memorial of "Building Three Counties in Taipei" written by Fujian Governor Shen Baozhen in 1875. At this point, Taipei Fucheng was formally established. Shortly after the proposal of building a government in Taipei was approved, in order to meet the needs of national defense, Lin Daquan, the governor of the pilot program, made a field survey at 1878, and initially decided to build Taipei City on the uncultivated wasteland between Mongga and Avenue City. It is also envisaged to set up important buildings such as government agencies and ancestral halls in Taipei. Unexpectedly, before Taipei officially opened its government, Lin Daquan died of overwork.
Taipei officially opened 1879. The first magistrate and 188 1 Fujian Governor Cen actively raised funds for the construction, and finally the construction of Taipei City was officially started by 1882 in Liu Ying, Taiwan Road. With the cooperation of Chen Xingju Magistrate and Taiwanese Daoliuying, the last Fengshui Stone Town in Qing Dynasty-Taibei City was finally officially completed in 1884.
On the occasion of the completion of Taipei City, the Confucian Temple, the Martial Arts Temple, the Temple, the City God Temple, and the Tianhou Temple, which were started in succession, were also completed. In addition, the city also has the Freshwater Hall, the Taipei Mansion, the Minister in Charge, the Governor of Taiwan Province Province and other yamen. At this time, Taipei has officially become the religious and political center of Taipei and even Taiwan Province Province. 1884, during the Qing-French War, the French army that marched from Keelung into the northern part of Taiwan Province Province marched into warm areas and was repelled by the Qing army. Because of this, Taipei, which was rushed to finish the work, was lucky to escape the first trial. However, with the War of 1895, Taipei did not play its original defense function. The Japanese invaders crossed the fortifications of Taipei City without bloodshed and easily entered Taipei City.
That's true. Gu, who was on a business trip in dry port at that time, was a key figure. At that time, Gu watched the Qing officials working in Taiwan Province leave Taiwan Province one by one, and the island of Taiwan Province Province, with the Qing Dynasty as the suzerain country, was destroyed. In order to avoid unrest in the city, he volunteered to go to Keelung to bring Japanese troops to Taiwan Province. The anti-Japanese history of Taiwan Province Province in this period is described as follows: "Lin Weiyuan, Lin Chaodong and Qiu went hand in hand, and Mr. Meng, Wu Lianyuan and Chen argued for it and could not control it. Please go to Li Chunsheng, a businessman in Daocheng, and ask the Japanese for help. No one dares to go. Ku Rong Xian of Lukang saw something urgent in Taipei, went to Keelung to visit the Governor's Office, demanded chaos and permission, and the Japanese soldiers went in. 18, Prince Nengyu arrived. On 2 1 day, Governor Hua Shanji also arrived, so he opened a government here to manage the government of the military and civilians. 」
In addition, the Records of the Governor's Office of Taiwan Province Province also recorded the following: "Taipei is a hell on earth, and the gentry decided to send businessmen to welcome the Japanese troops into the city. On the 7th, the Japanese army finally entered Taipei without bloodshed. 」
On June 7th, 1895, the Japanese army led by Gu arrived at the north gate. Chen Fa, an old woman in the city, and her family braved the turmoil in the city to climb the north wall and put down the bamboo ladder, so the Japanese army easily entered the north city. After entering Taipei, Japanese rulers held different views on the existence value of Taipei, which mainly defended Japan. 1897 The Taipei Urban Planning Committee was established to discuss the demolition of the city wall. Then, in the first urban renovation plan published by 1899, the Governor's Office of Taiwan Province Province, together with the Confucian Temple and Wu Temple in the city, began to demolish some Taipei city walls on the grounds of street arrangement and road connection. 1900, in the urban planning officially implemented for the first time in Taiwanese history, the "Urban Planning of Taipei" carried out by the Governor's Office of Taiwan Province Province not only filled all moats, but also planned the open space between Taipei city wall and moat as a park. On the grounds of adding nine city gates, the small-scale demolition of the Taipei city wall, which blocked road traffic, began at this time.
The real large-scale demolition of city walls should be before and after 190 1 officially announced the second urban amendment plan. The plan focuses on speeding up the demolition of the city wall, which is already under way. In the plan, all the city gates in Taipei should be demolished. However, because of the rebound of public opinion after the removal of the West Gate, the Governor's Office changed its mind, leaving the North Gate, the East Gate, the South Gate and the Xiaonanmen Gate intact. By the end of 1904, except for four deliberately reserved gates, almost all the walls of Taipei City were demolished by the Governor's Office of Taiwan Province Province. Most of the removed stones were transported to the East Gate, and later Taipei Prison and Permanent Barracks (now "War Department") were built.
1909, based on the existing city wall lines and cornerstones, the construction of the "third line" with a width of 40 meters was officially completed. It is called "three lines" because there are two green spaces on the road, and the road is divided into "three". However, Taipei Minor, which describes how many people lost their city walls in Taiwan Province Province, describes these three lines like this: "Lonely and listless, banyan trees are in rows, and even the shadow of the moon looks like firewood to those who are waiting. Wandering hearts also wander around the three lines. Knowing that you won't give up, I won't let go of love. 」
