1900: Dr. [[Sun Yat-sen]] staged '''Huichow Uprising'''

When the [[Boxer Rebellion]] was in full force and the [[Eight Allied Powers]] invaded, Dr. [[Sun Yat-sen]] led members of the [[Revive China Society]] (Hsing Chung Hui) to [[Hong Kong]] to organize an uprising. Stopped by British colonial forces at the shore, they held their meeting aboard the ship and decided to launch the uprising in the Sanzhou Tea Farmland in [[Huichow]]. [[Zheng Shiliang]] was put in charge of command, while Dr. Sun went to Taiwan for aid.

The uprising army defeated the [[Qing]] army in every battle and expanded to 20,000 soldiers in no time. As they reached [[Xiamen]] (Amoy) in Fujian Province, ready to coordinate with Sun Yat-sen and receive munitions ordered from [[Japan]], however, Japanese Prime Minister [[Ito Hirobumi]] unexpectedly changed his former policies with [[China]] and gave an order to stop exporting munitions. He also prohibited activities by [[Sun Yat-sen]] and other revolutionaries in [[Taiwan]].

After more than half a month of bloody battle, with the ammunition exhausted, Zheng had no choice but to disassemble most of uprising army and lead a portion of the soldiers to find safety in [[Hong Kong]] and await instruction from [[Sun Yat-sen]].
