The Japanese army, which only has rifles and is more than broadswords and spears, can be the opponent of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which is well-equipped and has artillery of various calibers and even large-caliber naval guns. △¢ small, o battle (not even a fierce battle) but two days later, the British Army, the vanguard of the Eight-Nation Alliance, entered Tokyo first. Subsequently, the city defenses of Tokyo were completely lost, and the Eight-Nation Coalition advanced towards the different occupied areas agreed before the war.

The Eight-Nation Coalition was divided into different occupation zones, with the Germans occupying the northwest of the Imperial City and the British in the southwest of the Imperial City. The east of the imperial city was occupied by the Qing army, the northeast was occupied by the American and French armies, and the southern part was occupied by Russia, Italy, and Austria. The outer city was occupied by British, American, and German troops, and was ruled by military forces......

It has to be said that the resisting Japanese Independence Army attacked the coalition forces one after another, and even if they were arrested, they were mighty and unyielding, and they regarded death as if they were home. But it was the constant attacks of these independent forces that eventually led to the massacre of the Eight-Nation Coalition after the occupation of Tokyo.

However, at this time, the 1st Korean Division, which had been sent to Japan by the Qing State before the war, also arrived in Tokyo. The combat effectiveness of the Korean army of the Qing Dynasty, as a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, has always been criticized by the Qing Dynasty, and they are not even comparable to the Ryukyu Division. Therefore, in order to prove the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army, the North Korean army who had just entered the city subjected various tortures to the Japanese after they captured them, experimenting with how many people could be pierced by a bullet, or deliberately shooting indiscriminately at the body, so that people were shot several times before dying in pain. At the time of the killing, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces were fully armed to "supervise and behead" and take photographs from all angles in an attempt to intimidate the Japanese people, which has now become ironclad evidence of the crimes of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. However, the Qing state of the Eight Kingdoms was replaced by Korea.

The Eight-Nation Coalition often insisted that people were killed by saying that it was the Japanese Independence Army. The coalition forces set fire to the palace of Prince Fushiminomiya, killing 1,800 people on the spot. The German invading army was ordered "in battle." As long as you touch Japanese people, whether they are men, women, old or young. Kill them all." When the French ** team encountered a group of Japanese, they used machine guns to force the crowd into a dead end and fired continuously for 15 minutes. Leave no one behind.

The 6th Division of the Qing Dynasty marched and stationed according to standard military rules, turning a blind eye to what the Koreans were doing. It's not that the Qing army doesn't like to kill, it's that they don't have time. The Qing army, who were familiar with the way, took the lead in transporting 53 tons of the last 80 tons of gold and 1.2 million taels of silver out of the last 80 tons of the Japanese treasury in the night.

Many years later, according to some Japanese records, "On the day the city was broken, foreigners killed countless people; But I heard the sound of gunfire and shelling, the cries of women and children for help, and the corpses on the street. The British wrote: "Tokyo became a real cemetery, full of dead people, and no one buried them." Let the wild dogs gnaw on the lying carcasses." The Eight-Nation Coalition insulted and ravaged women, and it is recorded: "The Coalition tried to drive the women they acquired, young and old, to the alleys and make them live in rows and as official prostitutes." The west end of its alley should be blocked to prevent escape. Only one end is left for the way in and out. Let people supervise, let the soldiers of the coalition and others enter the play, and rape and stay at will. ”……

(Replacing Japan with China is what the Eight-Nation Coalition did in Beijing.) The country is weak and is bullied. This has been the case for thousands of years. )

The only safe place in the whole of Tokyo is the Japanese Imperial Palace, because before the war, the Qing State made it clear that the Japanese royal family was also a relative of the Qing Emperor, and the allied forces of various countries were not allowed to interfere with it. The king of Japan was even more conferred by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, although he was stubborn. However, the coalition forces were not allowed to occupy the Japanese royal palace. But not occupying does not mean that there will be no search, according to the pre-war agreement. The Japanese royal palace was under the administration of the Qing Kingdom. So the Qing army rushed into the Japanese royal palace and executed Prince Atsushi Sadachi, who was hiding in the palace, on the streets of Tokyo. According to later accounts, after the Qing army searched the Japanese palace, there were more than half fewer maids in the palace.

When the main battle in Tokyo was over and Tokyo was officially occupied, Horst, commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, ordered the whole army to have a three-day holiday. These were three days of tacit permission for soldiers of all armies to loot openly, and the entire city of Tokyo was subjected to unprecedented devastation. In addition to the Japanese royal palace, the Eight-Nation Coalition Army looted all kinds of treasures and transported them back to the garrison in large bags and cloth bags. Temples all over Japan were also patronized, and the gilded bronze Buddhas, splendid products, bronze utensils, and even the gilding on the copper jar in front of the Yasukuni Shrine was scraped off with bayonets by the allied forces, and it is still scratched and scratched. The French Catholic bishop Fan Guoliang stole 1 million taels of silver from an official's house, and the commander of the French invading army, Ferray, alone robbed 40 boxes of precious property. The French army looted as much as 2 million taels of silver from the Japanese palace and officials. The entire store was looted, especially the major gold accounts. Seven-eight-tenths of the houses in Tokyo were burned, especially in the southern part of Tokyo, which was occupied by Russia, Italy, and Austria.

At that time, an eyewitness wrote: "In the name of arresting the independent army and searching for firearms, foreign soldiers from all over the world kicked in the doors of various streets and alleys, and went everywhere in the secret rooms of the bedrooms. Every thing that is soft and valuable in a silver coin or a clock is plundered and is mutilated at the slightest obstruction. An Englishman said: "Everything a soldier needs is obtained by sending a detachment of soldiers to rob the property of the Japanese." If a soldier needs something, and the Japanese hesitate a little, they will inevitably die. ”

The allied forces plundered the Japanese wantonly, and the Japanese also carried out various attacks on the allied soldiers at the instigation of the remnants of the independence army. Black guns and dark arrows are all simple goods, the kind of animal traps and poisons used to fight tigers and black bears in the mountains and forests, and even the more chaste Japanese women bite off the foreigners' goods. In the fifteen days of the occupation of Tokyo by the coalition forces, the coalition forces suffered heavy losses under such uninterrupted blows. The British army suffered nearly 300 casualties, Britain, France, Germany, the United States and other countries suffered more than 100 casualties, and the heaviest casualties were Italy, and the Italian army, which had only 85 people in total, had suffered 43 casualties so far, more than half of the losses.

The only relatively peaceful place in the whole of Tokyo was the area to the east of the city occupied by the Qing army, and the Qing army itself rarely camped. This must be a global ** piece, and future history will definitely record the diǎndiǎn didi of the Eight-Nation Alliance's entry into Tokyo. Although Guangxu wanted to avenge Nanjing, none of the damned ministers agreed. There are many reasons why killing prisoners is ominous, killing civilians is unjust, and China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. Therefore, the Qing army stationed in Japan did not dare to act recklessly, so the entire eastern part of the city was actually handed over to the Korean army of the vassal state to occupy, and the goods were naturally handed over by the Korean army. They had to hand over forty percent of their income to the Qing army. As for other happy things, we can't be like that group of uncivilized foreigners, who don't distinguish between good and old. We have high-end goods, otherwise where do you think the maids in the Japanese palace who are missing more than half of them have gone?

The North Korean army was playing recklessly in the east of the city. However, the Qing army still implemented the Qing army's orders not to kill civilians, not to burn houses, and not to commit adultery at will, so the citizens of Tokyo, who had nowhere to go in Tokyo, gradually began to gather in the east of the city, at least the east of the city could save their lives. But then there were also people from the Japanese Independence Army, who hid in the crowd and looked for opportunities to attack the Qing soldiers, who rarely left the camp. The goods were paid tribute by the Korean army, the supplies were supplied by the Korean army, and there was also fun in the camp. Why bother to fight and kill and be bored by others, and besides, the military regulations are strict, so it's better not to offend.

In the meantime. When the Eight-Nation Alliance, which attempted to divide the Japanese treasury, opened the Japanese treasury in the Qing occupation zone, they found that only the remnants of the Japanese treasury remained. In the face of the accusations of the Seven Nations, the Qing army opened its barracks and warships to be searched by the Eight-Nation Investigation Team, but nothing could be found. So the Eight-Nation Coalition took out its fire on the Japanese.

Perhaps it was because the Qing State was too peaceful, and the arrogance of the Japanese Independence Army became more and more arrogant, and they frequently attacked and sniped the Qing soldiers with various weapons and traps. Liu Shengxiu, commander of the Qing occupation forces in Tokyo and commander of the Sixth Division of the Imperial Army of the Qing Dynasty, spoke to the Japanese citizens three times. The Qing Dynasty entered Tokyo this time to fight against the illegal so-called Japanese Independence Army, hoping that the Japanese people would not harbor these rebels and take the initiative to report them. However, it was useless to see the occupation of their own capitals and the wanton slaughter and rape of their people. Who hasn't been able to have a fire in their hearts.

Just a month after the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Tokyo, when the Qing Dynasty's innocent casualties reached 15, Liu Shengxiu once again shouted to the Japanese in the occupied area, but he was shot as soon as he appeared. Fortunately, it was only one of his own soldiers who hit, so Liu Shengxiu's fourth speech ended before it began. At nightfall that day, both Qing armies received orders to return to their camps.

At three or four in the morning. It is the time when people sleep soundestly. At this moment, the gates of the two armies of the Qing Dynasty opened. The Qing Dynasty coalition forces, totaling more than 24,000 people, divided their occupation forces into ten pieces and drove out the sleeping Japanese. Let them start digging a lot of pits in squares, streets, and slaughter on the spot with a slight resistance. Although a few people knew from the beginning that they were digging their own graves, a large number of Japanese were forced by the Qing army to pick up the rudimentary tools at hand and start digging pits.

The Qing army is digging a pit? What is the Qing army doing here? The other Seven-Nation Coalition forces had more than a month of fun and still hadn't had enough, but a large number of Japanese fled into the Qing army's occupied areas, which made the other Seven Nation soldiers have a lot less fun, and their request for the Qing army to drive the Japanese in the occupied areas was refused. Today, it was suddenly reported that the Chinese, who have always been very "honest", were suddenly digging a pit, which made the other seven countries curious and came to watch, but this digging took a whole day.

At sunset, the Qing army suddenly turned its face. The Japanese were forced into the pit, and with a slight resistance, machine gun fire was everywhere. Then let another part of the Japanese bury the Japanese who had already entered the pit, and the mass graves of a thousand people were scattered all over the eastern part of Tokyo. Eventually, all the pits were filled, and the remaining Japanese were escorted to various places. More than 3,000 military and police personnel who laid down their arms were collectively sent to the east gate and fired intensively with machine guns, and many were killed on the spot. The wounded but not the dead were also incinerated in the same way as the bodies of the deceased. That night, more than 9,000 Japanese civilians and disarmed Japanese self-defense soldiers who had been evacuated to the port were slaughtered. The next day, more than 30,000 people were slaughtered along the Kamoda River. 200 people were shot near the Tokyo train station. More than 5,000 Japanese refugees, both men and women, were escorted to the Tokyo dock en masse, with their hands tied behind their backs, lined up. After the Qing army shot them with machine guns, they abandoned their bodies in Tokyo Bay to destroy their traces. Of the more than 5,000 people, only two were shot and wounded and then swam to a hidden place and survived. The Qing army also gathered 57,418 men, women, and children from Japan, except for a few who had been killed, tied up with lead wire and iron wire, and drove them to the police station, where they were intensively strafed with machine guns, and slashed and killed those who were still able to struggle in a pool of blood. Afterwards, all the corpses were poured with oil and incinerated to destroy the corpses. Only one person was burned but escaped from the massacre.

……

The Qing army carried out a mass massacre of the Japanese, and the Koreans even killed them arbitrarily. The Qing army showed the world the art of killing, and under the massacre of the Japanese by the Qing army, those living Japanese not only did not resist, but cooperated extremely much with the requirements of the Qing state, making it easier for the Qing people to kill. If there were still some Japanese resisting and crying in the first few days, the current Japanese are so numb that they take the initiative to line up and take the initiative to bow their heads and expose their necks......

The other seven nations watched in amazement as the Qing army slaughtered endlessly east of Tokyo. So much so that the other seven kingdoms stopped what they were doing to watch the Qing country's killing of the Japanese. The smell of blood at the scene of the massacre made all the soldiers of the other seven countries vomit, and the blood flowed like a stream into the dark ditch and waterway on the side of the road. As the various waterways converge in Tokyo Bay, the water of the entire port of Tokyo is red and smells fishy. The entire Tokyo Bay is dyed pink. So much so that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Horst, had to force the Qing army to stop this "meaningless" massacre, but they had to admire the level of the Qing massacre, and the once rampant Japanese Independence Army suddenly disappeared without a trace in the Qing occupation area, but there were still frequent attacks in the other Seven Nations war territories.

The Qing country is barbaric, the Qing country is an uncivilized country, they raised the cruel butcher knife against the Japanese civilians, and the Qing country is a butcher. As a result, the commanders of the armies of the Seven Nations, who claimed to be civilized countries, regarded this as a brutal and inhumane "Tokyo Massacre." The Seven Kingdoms were angry at the actions of the Qing State, and after the intervention of Khost and other Seven Nations commanders, the Qing army stopped the massacre. Seven days. It is impossible to count how many Japanese were killed in the seven days that the Qing army raised their butcher knives to Japanese civilians, but it is estimated that more than 400,000 people were slaughtered by the Qing army alone.

"The revenge of Nanjing has finally been avenged." After getting the news, Guangxu said something to himself in the face of the ministers, which made everyone baffled. But Guangxu's words were still too early.

On the third day after the Qing Dynasty stopped the massacre, the Allied Forces Headquarters received a report that the head of the Japanese Independence Army, the Japanese Fushimi Miyahiro Gong Wang Aixian, had fled north with the remnants of the Independence Army. When the news broke, the allied commanders quickly agreed that they must firmly destroy this force, otherwise they would become the fire of the Japanese resistance. For this. The Qing army took the initiative to ask for a general attack. The command of the coalition forces highly praised the selfless actions of the Qing state. The Qing army marched north at dawn the next day, leaving the Korean army to continue to occupy Tokyo.

When the Qing army made this move, the commander of the coalition army regretted it. Perhaps the Qing army did not kill enough in the city of Tokyo, and all the cities, villages and towns on the way to the north only had to resist. What the Qing army gave them was destruction. People, animals, and houses were left behind, the fields were burned, the mountains and forests were burned, and the Qing army was not allowed to plunder on the way to the army. It is the destruction of a land. Kawaguchi, Barrel River, Kumagaya, Isesaki, Takasaki, Maebashi, and Shibukawa, all of which were on the way to the Qing army, were returned to the flood because the city gates were not opened in time or someone attacked the Qing army. So much so that the allied command had to put pressure on the Qing State through the envoys of the Seven Nations in China. It was possible to make the Qing army stop this endless massacre. This saved Japanese civilians in Numata and other places.

Maybe the Qing went too quickly and didn't bring enough supplies, or maybe the Qing used too much ammunition to massacre Japanese civilians along the way. After arriving at Shibukawa, the Qing were nearly running out of ammunition, so they stopped at Shibukawa, where there was no longer a single Japanese Japanese, and waited for the Korean army to deliver supplies to the Qing army.

The command of the coalition forces that received the telegram immediately raised a batch of ammunition for the North Korean army to send to the Qing army, and when the North Korean army finally waded through the muddy road of spring rain to deliver the ammunition to the Qing army, it was scolded by Liu Shengxiu: "Do you let Lao Tzu eat gunpowder to live?" ”

The North Korean army only delivered ammunition but forgot to bring food, and the vehicles left by the North Koreans hurried back to Tokyo to raise food for the Qing army. This tossing and turning was a month, and the Qing army was not in vain, and they also escorted a truckload of sealed boxes to the warships that stayed in Tokyo Bay in the rear. However, after a mistake, a sealed box overturned from the car, and the whole box of gold products deeply pierced the hearts of the soldiers of the Seven Kingdoms.

As early as 1860, 40 years ago, the world's gold and silver exchange rate was 1:15, while Japan's was only 1:3, and it was a phenomenon recognized by the world that there was a large outflow of gold from Japan. Although Japan later changed to a gold standard monetary system, this box of gold products from the Qing army undoubtedly proves one thing - Japan's private gold collection is extremely large. Therefore, the commanders of the seven countries who were jealous of the eyes discussed and handed over all the tasks of garrisoning Tokyo to the Xian Dynasty, with the west of Nagoya to Germany, Nagoya to Tokyo to Russia, the north of Koriyama to Britain, Tokyo to Koriyama to France, the coastline from Tokyo to Nagoya to the United States, and the two sides of Tokyo Bay to Austria and Italy. In the name of clearing out the rebel bandits, the Seven-Nation Alliance began to march towards their own goals.

Another month later, the Qing army stationed in Shibukawa announced that they had captured the Japanese King Fushimi Miyahiro and had taken his head. By this time, the other ** teams had already gained a lot, and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces had only ordered the armies to return to Tokyo after consulting with the commanders of the other seven countries.

When the Eight-Nation Coalition returned to Tokyo, each army escorted a long or short convoy of supplies, and no one asked about the other's situation, and a meaningful smile when they met was enough to explain the problem.

The return of the Eight-Nation Coalition to Tokyo was also the beginning of negotiations between the Eight-Nation Coalition and the Japanese government of Saigo Mindo. The process of difficult negotiations is also a day for the eight countries to send supplies to their respective countries. A month later, on August 15, 1900, all the supplies of the Eight-Nation Coalition had been repatriated, and the negotiations were over. Saigo was forced to sign the "Treaty of Tokyo," in which paragraph 6 agreed that the Japanese government would compensate Russia, Germany, France, Britain, the United States, Qing, Italy, and Austria for military expenses and losses totaling 1 billion yen, and for the period from 1902 to 1940 at an annual interest rate of 4 percent.

At the suggestion of the Eight Nations, the Saigo government appointed Kurokawa as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and ordered the rebuilding of Japan's self-defense forces with the Fourth Division to which the Kurokawa Rail belonged as the core. At the same time, the seven countries will also send troops to Japan to protect the safety of their nationals in Japan.

However, the Qing did not ask for a garrison, but Ezo Island officially seceded from Japan, and the Anui Republic was formally established on August 20, 1900, with the support of the Qing State. The first prime minister, Soga Hirano, set out for Beijing in May, and after paying tribute and presenting the credentials of the eternal vassal Qing dynasty, the Qing promised to send a main regiment into the Anui Republic to help the Anui train their own army. The Qing Emperor said during the talks between the Su and I Plains: The entire Anui tribe is less than 50,000 people, and it is unrealistic for these people to develop industry by manpower, so it is better to continue to promote agricultural construction and build the entire Anui Island into a tourist resort. Because of Guangxu's words, various infrastructure investment projects of the Qing State and the Anui Republic have been finalized. The result is Anui Island, the most beautiful island in Northeast Asia.

However, in the case of Japan, which began with the Meiji Restoration in 1868, Japan raised taxes in order to strengthen the army and defeat the Qing state, but it was defeated by the Qing state twice, which led to the independence movement due to domestic resentment. However, the result of this failure was that Japan was completely reduced to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial.

Many years later, an official statistic about the time leaked. The documents show that the number of Japanese, with a population of more than 10 million, has been reduced by 10 percent in the four months when the Eight-Nation Coalition was wreaking havoc on Japan. More than half of the 600,000 people were killed by the Qing state, and 400,000 Japanese were killed under the command of the Qing state during the "Seven Days of Hell" in Tokyo alone. For a time, Japan was shaken, and the Emperor, who was more than 80 years old, published an article in the newspaper about this incident. The order for the massacre was personally sent by Emperor Guangxu himself to Liu Shengxiu, but Liu Shengxiu was only ordered to carry it out. The article said: At that time, our Sixth Division stationed in Tokyo had no intention of killing, but kindness was not enough to influence the Japanese, so it would be better to use the massacre to deter the Japanese.

It has also been proved that the Qing did not carry out unnecessary killings when they first entered Tokyo, and even the Korean army of the subject country mostly looted goods and rarely killed people. It was because the rebels constantly attacked the Qing ** team and even attempted to assassinate Liu Shengxiu that led to the Qing revenge massacre, and the rebellion was the main culprit that led to the Eight-Nation Alliance's entry into Tokyo. However, in any case, the Eight-Nation Coalition still carried out the killing of the entire Japanese country, which is recorded in Japanese history as the Japanese Massacre. (To be continued......)
