A fort | Zhijun was colonized by the Zhong Dinasty during the maritime campaign of the Yuanjian Emperor in the late 1680's, as part of Zhong efforts to explore and establish Corummese outposts in Australis. A fort town named Yishi was founded in 1682 with 60 families. The Yishi colony was governed initially by Xi Ling, captain of the vessel who had transported the colonists to the island. Two years later the Zhong authorities sent another ship with ten more families of colonists, three-hundred soldiers to serve as the town's garrison and several bureaucrats to order the affairs of the island and take over from Xi Ling. Crucially, the new ship also brought five smoothbore cannons of which only three were mounted on the walls of Yishi. The remaining two would be used the Yishi garrison in raids against the, up until now, peaceful island natives. | ||

The Hluttaw rebellion of the late 1980's was the longest and most severe period of unrest on the island. | The Republican era saw renewed attention on the island by metropolitan authorities due to its vulnerability during the [[Great War]].
