After the treaty of shimonoseki was signed in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, the Japanese government established the Taiwan Province Provincial Affairs Bureau on June 1895, and Japanese Prime Minister Ito Bowen was also the president of the Bureau, in charge of the affairs of Taiwan Province Province. The first "Governor of Taiwan" was personally appointed by Ito Bowen. As soon as he arrived in Taiwan Province Province, he had to face general armed resistance and anti-Japanese sentiment. He adopted the method of "hard before soft". One is to try to make the people of Taiwan Province Province yield through high-handed policies, and the terrorist means are extremely vicious. People who are killed often "violently corpse for several days and throw them into the wilderness". According to records, after Taiwan Province Province was colonized, the Japanese invaders made the Gangsters Punishment Order, and during the period from 1895 to 1903 alone, more than 33,000 compatriots in Taiwan Province Province were killed. 1902 After the people's anti-Japanese guerrillas in Taiwan Province Province were suppressed, the Japanese invaders began to "control the Sect", that is, to suppress the Gaoshan people and other aborigines. 19 10 formulated a five-year crusade plan to deal with Gaoshan compatriots who only had primitive weapons and shotguns with elite armed forces, and carried out 28 large-scale armed "Crusades", which completely suppressed the anti-Japanese struggle of Gaoshan people.

1896, Japan promulgated the first special decree of autocratic rule No.63, referred to as "Law 63" for short. The decree further expanded the "legislative" authorization of the Governor of Taiwan Province, and the Governor of Taiwan Province had autocratic power over the public security, politics and economy of Taiwan Province Province. Later, the Japanese Governor-General in Taiwan Province Province promulgated the so-called "Essentials of Criminal Punishment for Gangsters", giving the Governor special power to suppress the people's resistance movement at will. According to the statistics of the Japanese army at that time, from 1898 to 1902, the death toll in Taiwan Province province exceeded 1 1900, and countless resistance fighters died in Taiwan Province province.

Japan's "Imperial Movement" was also based on a series of cruel laws, such as the criminal orders of gangs issued in Huashan period, the criminal orders of Taiwan Province Province issued by subsequent governors, the amendment orders of court regulations, Garbo regulations, and the Public Security Police Law. Under repression, slaughter and intimidation, Japanese rulers pursued the policy of "imperial democratization".

Japanese colonists established a very brutal and strict police system in Taiwan Province Province. The police force is constantly expanding from 840 in 1895 to 3375 in 1898. On average, there is one policeman for every 65,438+060 residents. By 65,438+0902, the police organs in Taiwan Province have set up 992 police stations in 97 branches, in addition to the extracurricular activities in Hall 65,438+00. Most of the police are Japanese, and only a few people from Taiwan Province Province who are trusted by the Japanese can join the police force, and they are basically junior staff. The governor of Japan has also continuously expanded the scope of the police. In addition to performing general official duties, he is also responsible for supervising public meetings, trying criminal cases, banning opium consumption, managing household registration, collecting taxes, managing health and managing indigenous tribes. Almost any administrative affairs in Taiwan Province Province and the daily life of people in Taiwan Province Province are interfered by the police, making Taiwan Province Province a veritable police society. When people show a little dissatisfaction, they are often accused of "suspicious behavior" and "violating government decrees" and arbitrarily arrested and imprisoned, ranging from fines to torture to shooting.

Japanese colonists transplanted the Baojia system in ancient feudal society in China to Taiwan Province Province and strengthened it. 1898 "Garbo regulations" stipulates that all residents of Garbo must conclude Garbo regulations and guarantee each other to abide by them. If there is so-called "criminal" behavior, "Garbo's people are responsible for sitting together." The essence of Baojia system is to let the people of Taiwan Province Province pay their own money, manage themselves and spy on themselves, so as to realize the vicious purpose of Japanese colonialists to "control Taiwan with Taiwan" and facilitate Japanese "imperial people" rule in Taiwan Province Province. Under the rule of these colonial means, the people of Taiwan Province Province were deprived of all their freedoms and basic rights.

However, even after the promulgation of the so-called "Criminal Punishment Order for Gangsters", the people of Taiwan Province Province sporadically resisted the Japanese occupation in various forms. Among them, large-scale armed uprisings include: 1897 Chen Fa and Huang Maosong uprisings; 1900 Jan Ali Chuanqi Uprising; 1907 Beipu Uprising; 19 12 Puhe Tu Uprising; Xilaian Uprising1915; The Five Societies Uprising in 1930 and the AIA Uprising in 1934, etc.
