Tai Chao - chuen incident The Tai Chao - chuen Incident ( ) was one of the three major rebellion s in Taiwan during Qing Dynasty was rule . The rebellion lasted from 1862 to about 1865 . The incident was caused by the suppression of the Tiandihui by the government , and affected Central Taiwan , spreading as far north as Dajia and as far south as Chiayi . Although the rebellion was led by Tai Chao - chuen ( ) , many rich and powerful people from all over Taiwan , like Lin Ri - cheng and Hung Tsung , were also involved . At this time , the Qing Dynasty was facing the Taiping Rebellion and therefore had little military force to spare to put down rebellion in Taiwan . In addition , many powerful local leaders participated in the rebellion , causing the Qing to initially rely on the militia of the Wufeng Lin and other clans . The rebellion was not brought under control until after the Qing had dispatched Ding Yuejian and Lin Wencha to suppress it in 1863 , and did not end until 1865 . Once the Qing had succeeded , the Wufeng Lin clan emerged as the most powerful in central Taiwan . This would eventually lead to conflicts between the clan and the KMT government after the end of Japanese rule . Origin . Tai Chao - chuen was originally a landowner in Sichangli ( 四張犁 ; ) , Changhua ( present - day Beitun District , Taichung ) . At one point he was an assistant to the military governor of central and northern Taiwan ， though he lost it after being blackmailed by a high - ranking official . He succeeded his elder brother Tai Wan - guei as the head of his clan , and its associated Lord of the Land Society and Eight Trigram Society . He expanded these societies and converted them into branches of the Tiandihui while winning official approval by helping the government capture bandits , thereby expanding the power of the Tai clan . Because of the rapid expansion of Tai Chao - chuen ' s power and rumors of his follower ' s lawlessness , the government decided to act against Tai Chao - chuen . On April 3 , 1862 , the Taiwan Military Director Kong Zhaoci arrived in Changhua , executed Hong Shi , the leader of the Eight Trigram Society , and then summoned former Changhua County magistrate and then - Tamsui Prefecture magistrate Qiu Yuejing to discuss mopping up anti - government forces . Consequently , Qiu Yuejin led 600 soldiers , in addition to supporting forces of 400 each led by Lin Dianguo and Lin Richeng , to destroy the Tiandihui . However , on April 15 , just as the government forces were going to battle with several thousand members of Tiandihui at Dadun , Lin Richeng defected and killed Qiu Yuejian . Lin Dianguo , seeing that the situation was not favorable , retreated to Azhaowu Village ( present - day Wufeng District , Taichung City .

Quick to spot a wounded marine lying in an open field beyond the front lines following the relentless assault against a strategic Japanese hill position , LESTER unhesitatingly crawled toward the casualty under a concentrated barrage from hostile machineguns , rifles , and grenades . Torn by enemy rifle bullets as he inched forward , he stoically disregarded the mounting fury of Japanese fire and his own pain to pull the wounded man toward a covered position . Struck by enemy fire a second time before he reached cover , he exerted tremendous effort and succeeded in pulling his comrade to safety where , too seriously wounded himself to administer aid , he instructed 2 of his squad in proper medical treatment of the rescued marine . Realizing that his own wounds were fatal , he staunchly refused medical attention for himself and , gathering his fast - waning strength with calm determination , coolly and expertly directed his men in the treatment of 2 other wounded marines , succumbing shortly thereafter .

Coventry - class frigate These 28 - gun sailing frigates of the sixth rate were designed in 1756 by Sir Thomas Slade " to the draught of the " Tartar " with such alterations withinboard as may be judged necessary " . A total of twelve ships were built in oak during the Seven Years ' War , all ordered from private shipyards ; eleven of them were built over the relatively short period of three years ; the twelfth was completed following the close of that war in a royal dockyard as its original contractor became bankrupt , and one further ship to this design was also built postwar in a royal dockyard . A variant was designed for building with fir hulls rather than oak ; this variant design , to which five further vessels were built ( see second batch below ) , all in the royal dockyards , differed in some respects , notably by having a square tuck stern . The use of this material meant that they could be built much more rapidly than their oak near - sisters , but the fir deteriorated quickly , so that they had a considerably shorter life . More than a quarter - century after the design was produced , two further oak - built ships to this design were ordered to be built by contract in October 1782 . One of these was cancelled a year later when the builder became bankrupt . Ships in class . First batch . 4 oak - built ships Second batch . 5 fir - built ships Third batch . 9 oak - built ships Final batch . 2 oak - built ships , only 1 completed
