readx; Beginning in 1933, because China's Red Power launched an unprecedentedly powerful offensive against the warlords entrenched in the four northwestern provinces, the war was declared victorious in only two or three days, and at the same time, the Workers' and Peasants' Army with Ruijin in Jiangxi Province as the center launched superior forces to successfully seize the hinterland of the Central Plains.

They were afraid that a new Soviet/Union would appear in the Far East, and in their own consideration it was also in order to better strangle this new Chinese supply-shovelist country, and the great powers quarreled with each other to prevaricate and compromise, and finally decided to form an expeditionary force under the banner of anti-supply-shovelism in Europe and the United States Before arriving in China, the observer state of the anti-supply-shovelism alliance in Asia, and Japan was responsible for curbing the expansion momentum of China's supply-shovelist forces. This group of European lords is also well aware that the Japanese have coveted that piece of Chinese mainland for a long time from ancient times to modern times.

From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese took the first capture of Korea as a springboard to attack the Central Plains, and finally returned with the powerful military power of the ancient Chinese ancestors.

On July 25, the fourth year of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese Navy attacked Chinese Navy ships in the waters southwest of Toshima at the mouth of Asan Bay in Korea (known as the "Battle of Toshima" in history). Seeing this situation, the captain of the "Naniwa" ship, Togo Heihachiro, actually ordered the "Gao Sheng" to be sunk, and all but 200 of the 950 Qing troops were martyred.

On August 1, 14, the Chinese and Japanese governments declared war. At the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War, the "Battle of Pyongyang" broke out between China and Japan in Korea, and finally the Chinese commander Ye Zhichao made a command error and escaped from the battle, resulting in the defeat of the Qing army, so that the entire war situation was affected.

The Battle of the Yellow Sea ended with the death of most of the main warships of the Beiyang Naval Division, which allowed the Japanese army at that time to control the sea dominance of the Yellow Sea.

In the first five years, that is, in the second year, the battle of the Yalu River and the battle of the Golden Brigade ended with the defeat of the Qing army and the victory of Japan, and the battle of Weihaiwei was a defensive battle to defend the Beiyang naval base area, and it was also the last battle of the Beiyang Fleet. At that time, there were still 26 ships of various types of the Beiyang Navy in Weihaiwei Harbor. However, because it was trapped in the base and the remnants of the Beiyang Naval Division faced the Japanese army advancing by sea and land, and finally the Beiyang Naval Division, which was the largest in Asia at that time with the world's advanced warships, disappeared from China's modern history, leaving endless pain and infinite emotion to future generations.

In the end, the Qing government was defeated and had to send Li Hongzhang, the minister of Beiyang, known as the "pasteur-maker", as the first and plenipotentiary minister, and the former US Secretary of State Kostec as an adviser to Japan's Shimonoseki (now Shimonoseki) to negotiate with Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi and Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu. On 20 March, the two sides met at Chunfan Tower, officially opening peace talks.

At that time, although the Beiyang Naval Division was wiped out, the battle on the battlefield in Liaodong was fierce. Li Hongzhang demanded an armistice before the peace talks, but the Japanese side put forward four harsh conditions, including the occupation of Tianjin and other places, forcing Li Hongzhang to withdraw the armistice demand. After the meeting on 24 March, Li Hongzhang was suddenly stabbed by a Japanese ronin on his way back to the embassy.

Fearing that it would create a pretext for the intervention of a third country, Japan voluntarily declared a commitment to a truce, and on 30 March the two sides signed a truce treaty for a period of 21 days, and the scope of the truce was limited to Mukden, Zhili, and Shandong. At this time, the Japanese army had already attacked and occupied Penghu, posing a threat to Taiwan, and the armistice excluded this area, maintaining Japan's military pressure here.

The Japanese representatives, in the posture of victors, continued to threaten and blackmail. The American adviser Crestec tried by all means to induce Li Hongzhang to accept the conditions as soon as possible so that he could reap the benefits.

On 1 April, the Japanese side put forward very harsh terms for peace talks, and in desperation, Li Hongzhang begged for a lower condition.

On 10 April, Ito Hirobumi proposed the Japanese side's final amendment, the conditions of which were very harsh, and said to Li Hongzhang: "Zhongtang saw that I had made an abridgement this time, but it was only allowed and not allowed. Li Hongzhang asked: "Isn't it allowed to distinguish?" Hirobumi Ito replied, "We can only debate, but not less." Li Hongzhang begged for a reduction in the blackmail, but was refused.

On 14 April, the corrupt and incompetent Manchu government finally telegraphed Li Hongzhang to comply with the agreement.

On 17 April, on behalf of the Qing government, Li Hongzhang signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" with Japan, which humiliated the country.

However, six days after the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, the Russian Empire (formerly Tsarist Russia) intervened with France and Germany because of Japan's occupation of the Liaodong Peninsula and the hindrance of its expansion into Northeast China.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan extorted a huge amount of 230 million taels of silver from China, and this huge amount of money was not intended to be a pie in the sky for Japan, whose financial revenue was not as good as that of other powers.

However, the intervention of the three powers in Liaoliao was still a disaster for Japan, which crushed Japan's attempt to occupy Manchuria (northeastern China) by taking advantage of the victory in the Sino-Japanese War, and also allowed Russia to strengthen its power in the Far East and curb Japanese expansion in Korea. In order to realize the second step (annexation of Korea) and the third step (advance into Manchuria) of Japan's "mainland policy", Japan reorganized its armament and decided to launch a war against Russia ten years later.

The defeat in the Sino-Japanese War marked the defeat of the Qing Dynasty's foreign affairs movement that lasted for more than 30 years, and the achievements of modernization came to naught, breaking the pursuit of national rejuvenation by the Chinese people in modern times.

The payment of land reparations and the loss of sovereignty facilitated the foreign powers' capital transfer and set off a frenzy of carving-up, marking a new stage in the invasion of China by the great powers, greatly deepening China's semi-colonization, and sharply declining China's international status. The Sino-Japanese War directly led to an upsurge in the movement of the Chinese people to save the nation from peril, the bourgeoisie set off a movement for the reform of the law and a movement for democratic revolution, and the struggle of the Chinese people to spontaneously resist aggression, such as the Boxer Rebellion.

Japan's receipt of huge indemnities and strategic locations such as Taiwan not only promoted the further development of its own capitalism, but also facilitated Japan's further aggression and expansion in the Far East, making Japan the only emerging capitalist power in Asia. In addition, in order to confront Russia and the shame of the intervention of the three countries, Japan put forward the slogan of "lying on the salary and tasting the guts" on the one hand, and restarted the ten-year military expansion plan; On the other hand, it led to the formation of the "Anglo-Japanese Alliance" and began a new round of hegemony in East Asia.

The Sino-Japanese War marked the formal end of a millennial relationship between China and the Korean Peninsula, with Korea nominally gaining independence but in fact being controlled by Japan. After the Russian power entered Korea, the rivalry between Japan and Russia in Korea intensified, culminating in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904.

As far as the situation in the Far East is concerned, the signing of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" between Qing and Japan set off a frenzy of the imperialist powers to carve up China and intensified the contention of the imperialist powers in the Far East.

Based on the above history, the West is still afraid that the rise of the Chinese will find itself to settle the previous account, after all, the masterminds behind Japan's victory in the Sino-Japanese War are those old Western imperialists who also play a dishonorable role in it, they finally knocked down the weak Chinese giant and sucked his blood to strengthen themselves, how could they make this giant strong and stand up and knock down the self lying on him and sucking blood?

As a result, several world-famous families hiding behind the scenes as controlling the entire economy and politics of Europe and the United States secretly discussed, and sent people to Japan to reach a series of secret agreements with the Mitsui Zaibatsu, the de facto force that controls Japan, and the Japanese are not stupid to ask for all kinds of resources, including all kinds of heavy weapons and equipment.

To put it bluntly, the emperor was nothing more than a puppet and a pawn in the hands of the Mitsui zaibatsu, and the resulting anti-China shovel meeting was nothing more than a brazen cover for the ulterior motives of the Mitsui zaibatsu.

Then I turned my attention to the beach in Shanghai, where countless shells had formed many potholes of various sizes in the sand, and the air was filled with billowing smoke and the choking smell of gunpowder.
