The Long-ish March
27th October 1911
Their comrades were slaughtered in Wuchang while they sat helplessly and without orders. Colonel Shi Chengxian, commander of the 33rd Brigade in Chengdu that took control of the city, glanced sullenly at the blue flag of the Tongmenghui he had raised what felt like an eternity ago. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to lower it. “We’re on our own,” he said grimly.
The next morning, the brigade set off southward, leaving behind a rearguard force to hold Chengdu. That was a week ago. Yesterday, on the 27th of October, the Brigade reached its destination — the Yunnan Military Academy. Along the way, they collected Major Yuan Baoyi’s 32nd Brigade, previously garrisoned in Guizhou, and met up with Major-General Zhong Lintong’s 19th Division in Yunnan. Despite the revolutionary cheers rising up throughout the camp, the mood among the commanders was grim. 
“Huang Xing, that coward!” spat Major Yuan.
Colonel Shi merely reflected solemnly, ��They didn’t come for Wuchang, and they’re not coming for us”. 
“Fine,” General Zhong, the eternal optimist, replied. “then we’ll save ourselves. Lucky for us, I have an old friend. I’m sure he’ll be happy to help.”
Today, the morning of the 27th, China awoke to a new flag and a new power. Spanning Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and with its capital hidden in the mountains of Kunming, the Provisional Military Government of China was proclaimed under the leadership of General Zhong Lintong. In the small village of Huanshang, a despatch rider knocked on the door of a decrepit hut. “Telegram for General Yuan Shikai!”

Biography of Wang Hun
[From JS042]
Wang Hun, courtesy name Xuanchong, was a native of Jinyang in Taiyuan. His father Chang was Wei's Minster of Works. Hun was given to decorum and was a receptacle of capacity. He inherited his father's feudal rank as Marquis of Jingling and was nominated to the staff of the Great General, Cao Shuang. When Shuang was executed, he was dismissed following precedence. He rose to be Prefect of Huai and was Adjutant to Emperor Wen when he was General who Calms the East.
He amassed to move to Cavalier and Gentleman Attendant of the Yellow Gates, and Cavalier in Regular Attendance. In the middle of Xianxi [264 – 265], he was Colonel of Outriders. When Emperor Wu received the abdication, he was promoted to General who Spreads Zealousness, then moved to Inspector of Xu province. That year had a desolate harvest and famine. Hun opened the food granaries to raise support. The hundred families relied on him.
At the beginning of Taishi [265 – 274], added to his fief estate 1 800 households. Later on, he was moved to Commander of the Palace Gentlemen of the East, Overseeing All Army Affairs North of the Huai, stationed at Xuchang. He several times pleaded for demotions and promotions, many saw [him?] and accepted employment.
He was shifted to General who Conquers the Caitiffs, Overseer of All Army Affairs of Yu province, Acting with the Tally, and acting Inspector of Yu province. Hun shared a border with Wu. He circulated and disseminated his power and trustworthiness, front and rear surrendered and adhered to a great extent.
The Wu generals Xue Ying and Lu Shu's multitudes numbered a hundred thousand. Shu turned toward Yiyang, Ying turned toward Xinxi. At the time the provincial troops together put down resting and recuperating. The multitude pared down to a single mass [?], floated the Huai and secretly crossed, setting out without being expected. Ying and others did not worry about the Jin host's arrival. Hun struck and routed him. Due to his merits, enfeoffed his second son Shang as Marquis Inside the Passes.
He was moved to General who Calms the East and Commander-in-Chief of All Army Affairs of Yang province, headquartered at Shouchun. The people of Wu greatly farmed at Wancheng, designing to be a border harm. Hun dispatched the Inspector of Yang province, Ying Chuo, to control the various armies south of the Huai and strike and rout them. Together they routed the various separate garrisons and burnt their stored up 1 800 000 hu of grain, 4 000 qing of rice sprouts, and 600 ships. Hun thereupon deployed troops at the eastern frontier, inspected their forts' weaknesses and strengths, successively observed the enemy's forts, and examined the power to attack and capture them.
Reaching the great enterprise to attack Wu, Hun led the host setting out to from Hengjiang. He dispatched the Adjutant Chen Shen and Chief Commandant Zhang Qiao to attack Xunyang's Lai district. He also struck Wu's Commander of the Serrated Gates, Kong Zhong, always routing him, and seized Wu's generals, Zhou Xing and others, 5 people. He also dispatched to exterminate Wu's Army-Protector Li Chun. He occupied Gaowang city, punished Wu's general Yu Gong and routed him. Many were beheaded or captured. Wu's General who Surpasses the Martial, Chen Dai, and General who Pacifies the Caitiffs, Zhu Ming, were afraid and came to surrender.
Wu's Imperial Chancellor, Zhang Ti, Great General, Sun Zhen, and others led the multitudes, several tens of thousands, to aim for [?] Chengyang. Hun dispatched the Marshal Sun Chou and the Inspector of Yang province, Zhou Jun [JS061], to strike and rout them. He approached in columns and beheaded the two generals, and the captives tallied 7 800 heads. The people of Wu were greatly shaken.
Sun Hao's Minister over the Masses, He Zhi, and the General who Establish Power, Sun Yan, sent seal and tally to Hun to surrender. Then Wang Jun [JS042] routed Shitou, and took the surrender of Sun Hao, his powerful reputation adding to the agitation. The next day, Hun first crossed the Jiang, climbed the palaces of Jianye and filtered beer at the high gathering.
He himself, due to first occupying [the land] above the Jiang, routing Hao's Central Army, then downing armour and not advancing, caused him to be to the rear of Wang Jun. In his thoughts he was considerably ashamed and resentful, and had not the look of peace. Again and again he memorialised Jun's misconducts. People at the time ridiculed him.
The Emperor sent down a decree which said:
The Envoy Holding the Tally, Commander-in-Chief of All Army Affairs of Yang province and General who Calms the East, the Marquis of Jingling, Wang Hun controlled and led his command, thereupon pressuring Moling, causing the traitor Sun Hao to save himself from death and protect himself, and did not get above attending [?]. Using the merits of  the complete western army, he also destroyed the great enemy, seized Zhang Ti and sent Hao on a destitute road exhausted of power, hands tied up and begging for surrender. Thereupon he pacified and settled Moling, his achievements and merits abundantly displayed. Thus, add to his fief 8 000 households, advance his feudal rank to Duke, enfeoff his son Cheng as Marquis of a village, his younger brother Zhan [JS075] as Marquis Inside the Passes. Bestow 8 000 bolts of tabby silk.
He moved to Great General who Conquers the East, again headquartered at Shouyang. Hun did not put importance to the letter of the law, in sentencing and judgement he clarified with confidence [?]. At the time the people of Wu were new adherents and inclined in their breasts to fear and dread. Hun comforted the compliant and restrained travellers, and with a humble breast soothed and admitted. He sat without an empty mat, the [guards at the] gates did not delay visitors. Hence the gentlemen of Jiangdong could not but be pleased to adhere.
He was summoned be designated be Supervisor of the Left of the Masters of Writing, concurrently Cavalier in Regular Attendance. It happened that the court officials set up a discussion on whether the King of Qi, You, must go to his fiefdom. Hun sent up a letter remonstrating, which said:
Crouching to receive the sagely decree, [to follow] the legal sections and the old canons and advance the King of Qi, You, to have the highest office, [or] esteem their customs and rites, and dispatch You to his state.
Formerly when the Zhou clan established the state, they greatly enfeoffed the various Ji [the royal clan of Zhou], using fiefdoms as the Emperor's house, for perpetual generations raising up the law.
Arriving at the Duke [of Zhou], Dan, King Wu's younger brother, left and right in royal affairs, he assisted and aided the great profession and was not made to return to his fiefdom. Next arriving at display of personal righteousness, can not be distant from the court of old [?] Thus formerly the Duke of Zhou managed, due to his sagely virtue, brilliantly aided the young ruler, his loyalty and sincerity is manifest in the Metal-bound Coffer, brilliantly expressing the virtue of Wen and Wu's sagacity.
[The Metal-bound Coffer (金縢) is a chapter in the Book of Documents.]
You in the Great Jin is a relative of Ji Dan. He ought to help the August Court and have knowledge of government affairs. He truly is Your Majesty's belly and heart and is not of divided loyalty. Moreover, You as a man cultivates purity, righteousness and trustworthiness, in addition thereby to being an admirable relative, his aspirations is to be loyal and virtuous.
Now Your Majesty sends out You to his state, making use of him as Commander-in-Chief of an empty title, yet without the fruit of directing armaments personally [?], departing and leaving the Heavenly Court, not arranging the royal government. Wounding mothers and younger brothers arriving at the group of relatives [?], damaging friends in righteousness of earnest sincerity [?], [I?] fear not Your Majesty in narrating the past to the Former Emperor and Empress Dowager Wenming will await past thoughts of You [?].
Suppose, due to the weighty expectations for You [?], those in affairs ought to set out, now using the King of Ru'nan, Liang, to replace You. Liang is the son of August Emperor Xuan and younger brother of August Emperor Wen. Zhou and Jun each reside in the regions with appointments, and have the support of inside and outside. In the debates due to worries for the future, they are likewise not to be made light of. You is now going to his state, going to sufficient length in the debates of differences and similarities, thereby diminishing the beauty of humaneness and benevolence, that is all [?]. Yet now Under Heaven watches Your Majesty not having esteem and feelings for friends and relatives, Your Subject takes the liberty to be not selected by Your Majesty [?].
Suppose, though the Consort and Empress are relatives by marriage, [we] rely on [them] thereby for court and government affairs, then we have the Wang clan upsetting the authority of the Han, and the calamity of Lü Chan monopolizing the court. Suppose we use the same clan to reach familiarity [?], then we have the the disaster of the disobedience and chaos of Wu, Chu and the seven states. In successive examples past and present, when caution in affairs [is both?] light and heavy, there can not but come harm from it.
It is not possible in affairs and events to twist the setting up and suspect wariness [?], and be concerned about those coming from the regions who suffers [?]. We only must trust the correct Way and seek the loyal and good. Suppose we use wise plots to guess on matters, though relatives understand and suspect, coming to those neglecting the distant likewise, how will they be able to protect themselves? [?] People in their breasts are queasy and afraid, not having reasons for being calm [?]. This is exceedingly from having deep envy for those of the state and families [?].
[I am?] too stupid to use as Grand Guardian of the Heir-Apparent and useless [?]. [We] ought to keep You to occupy it. He and the Grand Commandant, the King of Ru'nan, Liang, and the General of Guards, Yang Yao, together will be guardians and tutors, personally managing court affairs. Three people of uniform rank, are sufficient to sustain and correct each other, advancing to assist and admit the promotion of wide righteousness, withdrawing without inclining heavily to the tendency of upsetting each other. Now Your Majesty has truly kindness for friends and relatives, make You meet with benevolence covering over his kindness [?].
Your Subject, similarly with the state's joys and sorrows [?], when righteousness is completely spoken of, seen by his heart [?], is not able to stay silent. [I] privately desires the women of Lu [?] to be the aspirations of the state, daring to plead and stupidly see, colliding and violating the power of Heaven [?]. [I] desire Your Majesty's affairs always to be completely good, hoping to be of aid in the ten thousand parts. If Your Subject then does not speak, who will be the speaking one?
The Emperor did not accept it.
At the beginning of Taixi [290], he moved to Minister over the Masses. When Emperor Hui was enthroned, he was promoted to Palace Attendant, and also at Jingling [?] set up soldiers and officers, like the case of Suiling.
When they executed Yang Jun [JS040], they venerated and esteemed the old vassals, and therefore added to Hun's soldiers. Hun, due to Minister over the Masses being a civil office, the masters and clerks did not command troops. To command the troops therefore the magistrates used scarlet clothes [?]. He himself, used to matching for that reason at the favour of the time [?], the authority to obtain and support troops was not in accordance with the old canons, always ordered black clothes. Debaters were pleased with his modesty and yet understood the limbs [?].
The King of Chu, Wei, wanted to murder the King of Ru'nan, Liang. Gongsun Hong talked to Wei, saying: “Formerly, when Emperor Xuan deposed Cao Shuang, he pulled in the Grand Commandant, Jiang Ji, to take part in the management, thereby adding to his power and esteem. The Great King is now raising up a not common affair. We ought to obtain [someone of] seasoned prestige, to quell the loathing in the hearts of the multitudes. The Minister over the Masses, Wang Hun is seasoned and has a powerful fame. He is trusted and supported by the Three Armies, he can be requested to to manage together [with us], making matters and feeling be dependable.”
Wei followed it. Hun declined due to illness and returned to his mansion. He used his household troops, a thousand people, to shut the gates and resist Wei. Wei did not dare pressure him. Soon after, Wei, due to a false decree, was sentenced to execution. Hun then commanded the troops in attending the officials.
The Emperor once questioned Hun at the Inaugural Assembly, inquiring into the magistrates of the commanderies and states, and the suitability of the reginoal customs. Hun memorialised, saying:
Your Majesty is reverentially enlightened, sagely and wise, shining on the distant and near, clarifying decrees washing away the empty, [your] inquiries reached into fodder and firewood, exceeding therefore Wen of Zhou's requests for who to discuss [with]. Zhongni [Confucius] was not ashamed to send down questions.
In the past at the Inaugural Assembly of the Third Morning first planned the magistrates to reach beneath the carriage [?], the Palace Attendants read the decree, the planning magistrates knelt to accept it. Your Subject, due to the writings of the decrees succeeding each other for a long time [?], is wihtout another fresh voice, is not Your Majesty's idea of keeping eyes on the regions and states [?].
It is possible to order the Palace Writers to point to and circulate the clarifying decree, asking the regions for the differences and similarities of the ground,virtuous talent flowering and unusual, manners and customs harmonious and excellent, origins and fundamentals of farming mulberries, punishments and prisons are not unjust and overflowing, defenders and chiefs are not invading and oppressive.
Thus industrious hearts in government affairs will reform and foster and speedily remove the injurious, conferring thereby the brush on the paper, exhausting ideas and displaying knowledge. Thereby the enlightened sage points to bring down hearts in the four directions [?], not repeatedly because of that comply with regular excuses. Moreover, [by] examining their answers and replies to the written righteousness, [we] thereby observing the truth of the planning magistrates' talents.
Also in the time of the Former Emperor, [you?] after the Corrective Assembly [?] in the Eastern Hall saw the Senior Clerks and Marshals who Conquers and Garrisons, the ministers of the the various royal states, and the Aides of the various provinces.
Now suppose we are not able to separately see [them], then we can first reach beneath the carriage, make the Palace Attendants circulate the inquiry, thereby thoroughly investigate the regions and states, and in affairs be convenient [?].
The Emperor made it so, and also decreed Hun to Record the Affairs of the Masters of Writing.
The posts successively held by Hun, from beginning to end were manifested and renowned. When he resided among the Eminent Assistants, his prestige and popularity daily diminished.
In the 7th Year of Yuankang [297 AD], he passed away, at the time he was 75 years old. His posthumous title was Inaugurating [yuan]. His eldest son Shang perished young, his second son Ji inherited.

#BikerxBossainTaiwan Day 2: Miyahara and Fantasy Story
I’m struggling to finish, or to be more accurate, start, this follow-up entry to my first Taiwan trip with Joey two weeks ago. So much has happened since then! Mama finally underwent her long-delayed surgery to remove her gallbladder and stones and is now thankfully discharged and walking about, Joey and I went to Balesin last weekend for a workation, Coldplay just had their concert in Manila last night (I didn’t go but I was happily browsing through everyone’s posts, hihi), etc, etc. So many things to get distracted on. All this and I still don’t have a phone, what more if I did??
(Note to self: pick your distractions.)
Day 2 in Taichung found me with a very flexible, very open schedule. Joey had a full 8am-8pm schedule with FoxShox. After joining him for breakfast and sending him off, I decided to make use of the running clothes I brought along and did a 5k in the hotel gym. Since this was my first day of venturing alone in Taichung, I decided to take it easy and just visit two places of interest to me: Miyahara and Fantasy Story. (There was a bike tour I wanted to join also but since I was by myself and I had no idea where it is yet, I decided not to anymore.)
I took a screen cap of Miyahara’s location from google maps, asked the hotel concierge to help me explain it to the cab, and off I went. Incidentally and to my surprise, my cab driver was a lady! “How nice!”, I thought to myself. Before long, I was at my destination.
Tumblr media
Miyahara, as it turns out, was a former ophthalmology clinic turned sweets shop. The interior does remind one of Hogwarts, and it was well-attended by well-dressed sales men and ladies who spoke great English. There was a section devoted to chocolates, another to cakes, another to other sweets I didn’t ask about anymore. I asked a sales guy what he would recommend I get if I were to buy only one thing, and he led me to the pineapple cakes. I got a box that cost around P700 containing about 15 little packets of the famous Taiwanese delicacy. It was yum!!
Tumblr media
The charming interior and bookshelves of pastries. :)
Tumblr media
Wanting to check out the restaurant at the second floor and not wanting to think about where to have lunch, I decided to just eat there in Miyahara. The prices were outstanding! Already feeling guilty over my P700 pineapple cake purchase and not wanting to order more than I can finish, I just had egg with fried rice for lunch. Also, since most sites and the saleslady downstairs recommended that I try their ice cream here, this tourist did so! I got ice cream in china casserole for dessert. It came in two flavors, black tea and grapes. Apparently, black tea is a staple here in Taiwan (they cook their century eggs in it!). It tasted okay since I’m not fond of black tea, but the grape ice cream was really good and light and refreshing! No wonder their ice cream is famous.
Tumblr media
Two flavors of ice cream in a china casserole filled with other fruit and sweet tidbits: there were banana slices in there, kiwi, chocolate, red beans, etc. Reminded me of our halo-halo. :)
An insight here: their paper products and designs are so nice, well-thought of and well-crafted, evidenced by the box that the pineapple cake came in and my placemat. Everything seemed to be done painstakingly. The Taiwanese indeed, do their packaging well.
Tumblr media
I believe this shall also be in our bookshelf forever. :)
Another insight: Taiwan is fond of taking over old facilities and breathing new life into them, like Miyahara and my next destination for the day, Fantasy Story. I do not like commercial shopping, but I do love browsing through specialty shops and flea markets. Fantasy Story used to be the two-story staff dormitories of an old water utility, but now it houses creative boutiques, artisan shops, and cute cafes. I had a lovely time browsing through the wares and walking along the alley. Too bad some of the shops were closed! How nice that areas like these would just sprout randomly in their city, how admirable their support for their local artists are.

I didn't buy anything because as specialty shops go, their prices were pretty special, too. Everything was cute, though. :)

This map was posted in the Zhong xing 1st lane as a guide to tourists. Having had a difficult time looking for Fantasy Story, the other shops along Melcun Rd did not register on me; I was only able to check out the ones in Zhong xing lane and shop #7. If and when Joey brings me along with him again to Taichung, i will definitely go back and check out shops 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8 now that I know how to find my way there.
It was a bit hot during my exploring. I wanted to check out another artist’s haven, Rainbow Village, but since I had a hard time talking to the cab driver (I know, I know, I should’ve written the Chinese address, lesson learned) on my way to Fantasy Story from Miyahara, I decided to just go back to the hotel and possibly nap. I was on vacation, anyway. :) When Joey arrived, he rested for a bit, then off we went to the hotel’s Chinese restaurant to have a twelve-course dinner with his colleagues. Didn’t take any pictures there as I didn’t want to be anti-social, hihi. The food was yummy, some were strange, but all I can recall now was how stuffed we were, and how very much I liked the weird-looking dessert, red bean soup.
Day 3 of our Taiwan trip will be posted tomorrow! I am rushing this because we’re going there again on Sunday, to watch Coldplay this time. Yipee!! So excited!!!! :D
Thanks for reading!
Bossa love,
Sitti
