Yutoto of Shan County is the highest general in Xiaguan City and the highest general in the entire battlefield, but he is not a direct commander. The officer who directly guards the city in Xiaguan City is Xixiang Congdao.

Saigo Congdao and Xuan Jianzhang are old opponents, and they fought against Ryukyu battlefields many times in Taiwan.

After the capture of Xiaguan City, Xuan Jianzhang asked the First Regiment to clear the battlefield in the city as soon as possible, and the Second Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army defended the positions north and west of the city, and did not take the initiative to attack the Japanese government forces, because the Japanese government forces still had more than 25,000 troops outside Xiaguan City and still had the advantage of military strength. At the same time, the war of attrition was not what Xuan Jianzhang wanted. Xuan Jianzhang's purpose was to kill as few casualties as possible and kill more of the Japanese government forces' vitality.

"The Chinese army treats prisoners preferentially and refuses to kill them." The city was filled with shouts of Chinese army.

Xuan Jianzhang stood on the city wall and saw with a telescope that he was fleeing in a hurry. Yutoto, who was outside Japanese troops came up to pick him up. Yutoto of Yama County only brought more than twenty people, all riding horses.

"I'll take people to chase you, the teacher's seat." Xuan Jianzhang's guard battalion commander said.

"Forget it, let him go." Xuan Jianzhang put down the telescope expressionlessly, "It doesn't matter whether he or she escapes."

"Yes, the division seat." The guard battalion commander glared at Yutori Yama County and others in anger.

After Xuan Jianzhang got off the city wall, he rode his horse straight to the command headquarters of the Japanese army in Xiaguan City, which was already in a mess.

It has temporarily become a temporary hospital for resettlement of injuries.

The Chinese army suffered heavy casualties. Although they quickly captured Xiaguan City, more than 700 people were killed or injured by the troops.

"Don't be sad, rest assured to recover from the wounded." Xuan Jianzhang said to the wounded as he walked, and stopped beside a wounded man covered in blood and squatted down.

Because there was no anesthetic, the injured man was sweating all over his body after the operation to remove the bullet.

"Mr., our platoon is all gone, and I am the only one who dies." The soldier said weakly.

Xuan Jianzhang nodded, "Don't talk, have a good rest. Don't worry, your rank will not disappear. As long as you are here, wait for you to recover from your injuries, you will be the rank leader!"

The wounded soldier blinked his eyes in tears.

"Do you know what seeds are? Our army is an army led by the Huacui Party. Each of us is a seed. As long as one person is there, our army will not die." Xuan Jianzhang said with a smile.

The wounded soldier's eyes were full of perseverance, he pursed his lips and nodded firmly.

"Sleep well and recover from the wounded. Next, we have many big battles waiting to fight. Remember, behind us is a powerful China." Xuan Jianzhang patted the bed beside the wounded soldier and stood up.

All the wounded soldiers were boosted by Xuan Jianzhang's condolences. Xuan Jianzhang continued to walk inside, where more than 300 Japanese government prisoners were imprisoned.

A soldier was beating a Japanese officer. Xuan Jianzhang was immediately angry and asked, "Don't you know that the Chinese army's policy is to treat prisoners preferentially?"

"Second...the teacher seat." The soldier was frightened when he saw Xuan Jianzhang, "He wanted to bite me just now."

Xuan Jianzhang said angrily: "He has been caught. Can you be bitten by prisoners? He also argues, goes back to write a checkup, and is in jail."

"Yes, the division seat." The soldier said hurriedly.

Xuan Jianzhang went to see the officer and was happy. He realized that it was Xixiang Congdao, his old acquaintance. He originally thought that Xixiang Congdao had escaped with Yuto Yama County.

Saigo Congdao and Saigo Takamori are two very interesting brothers. Saigo Congdao has been staying in the Japanese government army, while Saigo Takamori formed a samurai army.

Saigo Tomo was born in Shigajiya-cho in Kagoshima Castle, Satsuma vassal state. He served in the Satsuma vassal state as a vassal state. He participated in the Satsuma vassal state's Satsuma vassal state's Satsuma vassal state's self-imposed expelling barbarians, and the Battle of Toba Fushimi in the Hokage War that overthrew the Tokugawa Shogunate.

In the second year of Meiji (1869), Saigo traveled to Europe to investigate the military system from the Dojo and Akitoshi Yama Prefecture, who was born in Changzhou. Yama Prefecture later became the founder of the modern Japanese army.

Saigo Congdao's brother Takamoto Saigo did not resign because of his failed leadership in the conquest of Korea. His resignation and his disciples made a statement that he also opposed the invasion.

At that time, under the control of the United States, Britain and other countries, the great powers advocated invasion of South Korea. At that time, North Korea was hostile to the great powers. Even because Japan cut off diplomatic relations with Japan from the barbarians, American warships invaded the Datong River were also repelled. The great powers hoped that Japan would conquer South Korea.

Japan was also actively preparing to conquer South Korea. However, Saigo wanted to attack Taiwan in the Dao and had conflicts with the great powers. Both he and his brother opposed the conquer South Korea. This was based on Japan's own interests and was unwilling to be controlled by the great powers and wanted to seize Ryukyu and Taiwan.

Although in essence, invasion of South Korea and Taiwan are invading China, in terms of interests, invasion of South Korea is the mainland policy of the great powers to push Japan to invade China and govern Russia. The maritime policy of invading Tainan threatens the maritime interests of the great powers, developing towards the Nanyang Islands, and the two basic policies of militarist factions. Western powers support mainland policy factions, and maritime policies are mainly supported by pro-China and ex-barrier factions.

During the Meiji Restoration period, the social structure was reorganized, and many gentry (old samurai) were unemployed, causing great social problems. Incidents of gentry rebellions occurred in various places. In the seventh year of Meiji (1874), the Saga Rebellion occurred in Kyushu Island. Although it was quelled in just over ten days, in order to appease the Satsuma gentry with the strongest sense of resistance and Takamoto Saigo, who lived in seclusion in Sago, he specially appointed Sago Congdao as the governor of the Taiwan Venue Affairs Bureau. He bought two merchant ships and installed cannons to pretend to be warships for transportation. He led more than 3,000 troops to southern Taiwan to attack the indigenous tribes and attempted to establish a colony. The Japanese side is known in history as "Taiwan's dispatch of troops" (called the Chinese side's Peony Society Incident).

When Saigo Congdao and his troops were on standby at Nagasaki Port, Western countries led by Britain and the United States expressed opposition to Japan's military operations and prohibited their own countries from renting ships to Japan, so the Japanese government ordered the suspension of troops.

But Saigo Congdao said: "Delaying troops will damage morale. If the government forcibly stops it, I am willing to return the emperor's full-powered appointment letter and directly attack Shengfan's nest as a thief, and will never affect the country!" Okuma Shigetsu, who was also in Nagasaki, failed to persuade him, so he had to telegraph the central government: "Mortality is strong, and its momentum is difficult to stop." Saigo Congdao immediately ordered the troops to set out one after another, and his actions were later recognized by the central government. This move was known in history as the "Saigo riot" and became the prototype of Japanese militarism in the future, that is, military advancement and political recognition.

In May of that year, the Japanese army landed in Sheliao (now Sheliao Village, Checheng Township, Pingtung County) and attacked the indigenous tribes mainly from Mudan Society. They then stationed for a long time in Guishan (near the Checheng Township National Marine Biological Museum).

The Chinese army then attacked, and Xuan Jianzhang met Xixiang on the Dao that time.
