Wen Kite's defeat has long been buried deep in his character, passionate people are often easy to fall into the trap of pride and arrogance, he is too careless, too contemptuous of the Japanese, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Japan won the battle of Nagasaki, the whole of Japan was boiling, the main battle faction was arrogant, the main peace faction was silent for a while, and even before the Imperial Council, Ito Hirobumi was completely suppressed by Yama Prefecture Aritomo.

At this time, it was replaced by the pride of the Japanese.

Wen Yuan's initial battle was unfavorable, disrupting Zhu Jinglun's plan, he never thought of sending troops to fight deep into the interior of Japan, compared with the way Vietnam dragged the United States, Zhu Jinglun believes that Japan will not do worse than Vietnam, really attack Japan, I am afraid it will fall into a quagmire, ten years can not be pulled out, the key is to fight such a country really has no oil and water to fish, barren land, surplus population, aggressive people, what to do in this kind of place?

Zhu Jinglun originally planned that Wen Kite would be able to successfully take Nagasaki, Japan, and then open the window for landing in Japan, and the Japanese would definitely give in immediately, and then the Ming Dynasty would take advantage of the situation to coerce Japan to agree to reparations and apologize, and so on, so as to understand the Ryukyu case.

But if the Japanese win the war, this will be troublesome, and once the Japanese fall into the fantasy of paranoia, they will be more paranoid than any other nation in the world, and they will not give up if they don't really hurt the Japanese this time.

Moreover, the loss of this battle and the cessation of the war was a great blow to the morale of the emerging army. From the outside to the inside, Da Ming can't afford to lose.

Zhu Jinglun can't help but blame Wen Yuan, it was he who sent back those favorable information along the way, which completely misled the judgment of the General Staff and Zhu Jinglun.

Looking at Wen Kite, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't say a word, Zhu Jinglun scolded him for more than half an hour.

", go take Nagasaki down, or bury yourself there!"

Zhu Jinglun waved his hand, Wen Yuan kowtowed heavily, got up and left.

Walking out of the palace, Wen Yuan felt much better, after losing the battle, when he returned to China, every family and friend he met were comforting him, what victory or defeat is a common thing in the army, and his ears were calloused, but the more others comforted, the more ashamed he was, what he needed was not sympathy, what he wanted was shame.

So he came to the palace to plead guilty, and he wanted a chance to be ashamed and let him continue to serve as an attacking striker. Wen Kite heard that after his defeat, many officers asked to go north to Japan to shame the Ming army, and let others help him to be ashamed, how will Wen Kite live in the future?

Zhu Jinglun scolded him, but he was comfortable, not only because he was allowed to continue to play the role of commander of the attack on Japan, but this kind of unpretentious scolding was more comfortable than those heartless comforts, he did something wrong, who wants his mother's comfort, if he is wrong, he should be scolded, he deserves to be beaten, he must stand up.

Leaving Guangzhou again, Wen Yuan was accompanied by 100,000 soldiers of the Guangdong Military Region. Under the command of Wen Kite, they will complete the unfinished task before, capture Nagasaki, and obtain the landing place.

It was impossible for 100,000 people to be sent to Japan at once, and most of them had to wait in the Ryukyus, and only after they had established themselves in front of them would they set foot on Japanese soil, and most of them would only end up in the decisive battle at Nagasaki.

By this time, it was June 1880, and with the official announcement of mobilization by the Ming Dynasty and the dispatch of a large number of military forces to Japan, the war entered the next stage.

Historians call the war that broke out mainly between the two countries as a result of the Ryukyu disposition incident, and divide the war into two phases, the first stage is called the Battle of the Ryukyu Restoration, and the second stage is controversial, the Japanese call it the War of Invasion of Japan by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty calls it the Punitive War, which means punishing the Japanese for attacking the Ming consulate.

With the landing of a large number of Ming troops in Japan, Wen Kite was still the commander-in-chief, he showed an extremely cautious attitude this time, step by step, giving up the plan to cross the central mountains of the Nagasaki Peninsula, and gradually advancing along the coastline, intending to go around Nagasaki, although the speed will be slowed down a lot, but the army will always maintain the march within the view of the navy, but it will be much safer, and the conditions for the transportation of materials will be greatly improved, which allows him to be equipped with heavy weapons with the army, unlike the last time, almost with rifles and bayonets, Engaged in a battle with Japan's elite army that was overloaded.

The change in the battle plan of the Ming Dynasty immediately made Japan unable to sit still, they have lost all their sea dominance, not to mention warships, but all ships that dare to haunt the war zone, as long as they are Japanese, will all be captured by the navy, and several merchant ships of the Mitsubishi Company have been lost because of this, because their headquarters is in Nagasaki, and it is really difficult to let them completely leave the waters of Nagasaki.

At this time, not to mention the port of Nagasaki, even the island of Kyushu, where Nagasaki is located, was greatly affected, and although I dare not say that the sheets were not allowed to enter, large-scale sea transportation did disappear.

After a long time, the Japanese did feel struggling, Ito Hirobumi once again persuaded the high-ranking officials of the reform faction that they must accept negotiations, otherwise Japan will stop the Restoration, Japan is fortunate to have political struggles at his top, but the two factions of the struggle often fight for how to reform, not whether to reform or not, which is completely different from the Westernization Movement that always can't get rid of the conservatives' insistence on conservatism, it can be said that no matter which faction in Japan is in power, it will try its best to promote reforms, such as when Okubo Ritsu was in power, Vigorously built a government-run factory, and when Shigenobu Okuma took charge of the Ministry of Finance, he tried his best to support private capital, but there was no difference between the two in the general direction, and they both promoted industrialization.

Ito's warning made a large group of radical Meiji senior officials begin to wake up that Japan simply does not have the capital to continue the war at this time, and if it continues for a long time, victory or defeat is placed on both sides, and the current reforms may be ruined, or at least stagnant.

However, after the attack on the consulate, the Ming Dynasty had withdrawn all diplomats and negotiators, and Japan could only ask Britain to mediate again, and the war for several months had greatly affected Britain's trade with Japan, and Britain also wanted to end the war.

But some of them are not very easy to come forward.

The last time they made a guarantee, Japan promised to let the Ryukyus reinstate, the Ming Dynasty agreed to reopen negotiations, but at the negotiation table, the Japanese directly took out the letter of the Ryukyu king, saying that the Ryukyus were voluntarily incorporated into Japan, this kind of fraud, so that the British government was very embarrassed, this time Japan found them again, the British minister first asked Japan to assure, must accept the conditions of the Ryukyus restoration, otherwise Britain is unable to mediate.

The British only then approached the Ming Dynasty, and the reply given by the Ming Dynasty was not to talk about it, and they no longer trusted the Japanese, and if they wanted to talk, they would talk about it in Tokyo, and when the Ming army entered Tokyo, they would not talk to their emperor.

Britain knew very well that a large-scale war was inevitable, and as early as when the Ming Dynasty began to mobilize, the Japanese lost the opportunity for peace, and really did not understand why Japan would insist on such a small place in the Ryukyus.

From 1877 to 1878, Russia and Turkey broke out again into a war, the Russian army approached Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, and signed an alliance with Turkey, in addition to ceding Turkish territory, supported the Slavic country of Great Bulgaria, the biggest change was that Russia forced Turkey to change the rules of passage in the Bosphorus, The passage of warships of countries bordering the Black Sea, such as Russia, is allowed.

This heralded that Russia had finally broken through the blockade of the straits and infiltrated its forces into the Mediterranean, but Britain once again sent warships to threaten and put on an attitude of not hesitating to go to war, uniting with Austria-Hungary, which had ambitions for the Balkans, resulting in the bankruptcy of Russia's plan to expand westward again, and it had to spit out the benefits that had already been obtained, gave up the right of warships to pass through the Turkish Straits of Straits, and greatly reduced the territory of Bulgaria.

This war exacerbated the contradictions between Russia and Britain, but Bismarck, as a mediator, further increased the ties between Germany and Russia, and to a certain extent allowed Germany to get rid of the worries of European countries, especially Britain, about the new Germany after the Franco-Prussian War, and refocus the main energy of prevention on Russia.

Russia's expansion in the nineteenth century was very nomadic, that is, when the West was blocked, it would turn to the East, and with the deliberate guidance of Germany, Russia's intention to move east became stronger and stronger.

The construction of the Kyakhta-Zhangjiakou Railway completely changed Russia's geopolitical situation and greatly strengthened its power in the East. This year, the railway was officially opened to traffic, and Russian merchants transported tea and other commodities from Wuhan, Fuzhou and other places to Tianjin, which greatly shortened the time for passing through the grassland, so that Russian merchants completely pressed the Jin merchants in the tea trade.

This year, the Russians have tried to go south many times with the help of this railway, and they have repeatedly used the excuse that the railway transportation has been threatened by steppe bandits, hoping that the Qing government will allow them to station soldiers along the road, and they intend to exchange the interests of Xinjiang, but the Qing government did not agree, Li Hongzhang strengthened the defense in Mongolia and sent 8,000 Huai soldiers to Kulen.

The military campaign of the Ming Dynasty to the north to attack Japan made the Russians see the possibility of continuing to build up their power in Northeast Asia, so they discussed with the Ming government that they could form an alliance against Japan, they believed that on the Japanese issue, Britain's performance made the Ming government take into account, and Russia believed that if Russia could support the Ming Dynasty, it would strengthen their influence in Japan, and at the same time gain the favor of the Ming Dynasty, and hope to work with the Ming Dynasty to counter the British power in the region.

As a result, Russia transferred two ironclad ships from the west, strengthened the power of Vladivostok, and repeatedly appeared in Japanese waters.

Some historians believe that the biggest geopolitical confrontation in the nineteenth century was not between Germany and Britain, but between Russia and the British family, and it was the Anglo-Russian struggle for hegemony that affected the historical trend of the entire century, which is justified, because judging from the situation at that time, only Britain and Russia were two empires with all-round influence on the Eurasian continent, Russia was confined to Central Europe, France was declining day by day, and the Russians stretched their tentacles in all directions. There was an impact on Britain in all directions.

The adjustment of Britain's strategic objectives made them extremely alert to Russia's appearance in the East, especially when they found that Russia was in contact with the Ming Dynasty, they immediately launched diplomatic actions against the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would not cooperate with Russia, Britain believed that the Ming Dynasty and Britain had common interests, and Russia was not only the impact of British interests, but in the long run, it would also damage the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and Britain hoped to strengthen the diplomatic consensus reached with France and the Ming Dynasty to resist Russia because of the Northern Railway issue.
