At the end of the 19th century, ironclads, a new type of warship with both steel armor and steam power, were like heavily armed knights, with strong vitality and attack power, and were a symbol of a country's maritime strength.In 1877, Japan had three second-class ironclad ships, and they were constantly making waves.In the original history, the Qing Dynasty was able to buy the first in Asia and the sixth in the world just by buying.It can be seen that the gap in the world's naval strength in this period is too large, and those who really have the strength to compete with the British at sea are the French, Germans and Tsarist Russia, of course, this is only to say that at the technical level, it is possible that the fleets of these three countries together cannot catch up with the fleet strength of Britain alone.Looking back on the founding process of the Beiyang Naval Division, the Qing Dynasty was like an introverted old man who did not contact with the world, and when he was forced by the foreign powers to the point that he had no choice, he finally opened the door and made contact with the world step by step.When the Qing Dynasty bought mosquito boats, the officials knew almost nothing about foreign countries, so they could only entrust the British at customs to help, and after the ship was built, they also asked the British to help us send it back.Later, I was a little bolder, and I still entrusted the people from the customs to buy it, but after the cruiser was built, it was our people who went to pick it up.In the future, if we want to buy ironclads, we no longer go through customs, but go directly to the shipyard ourselves.Those literati ambassadors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty stationed abroad also worked hard to learn scientific and technological knowledge, independently chose to buy countries and factories, and when they bought them, they also put forward their own design concepts, requiring torpedo boats.In this way, the vision of the foreign affairs officials of the Great Qing Kingdom became higher and higher.But just when it was getting better, everything suddenly stopped again.Comrade Lafayette believed that the Beiyang Navy Division was the private property of Li Hongzhang alone, and this was a factor restricting the development of the navy in the late Qing Dynasty.Otherwise, Greater China is like an eagle, even at the lowest time of flight, it is not something that the people of the island countries can easily catch up with.Ito Hirobumi studied the Qing Dynasty thoroughly.He said that after China's defeat, it would work hard and make progress, but he did not know that a year or two later, he would follow the path of Gou'an, just as Westerners described China as "sleeping".After the two ironclad ships were bought, the Qing Dynasty was indeed peaceful for a few years, but the edict of the "Great Governance Navy" was still in the ears, and the focus of the imperial court had shifted from the long sea frontier full of holes to the "Three Seas" with willow green and lotus fragrance in Beijing, and to the picturesque Summer Palace.In 1891, when one of Ding Ruchang's aides visited Japan with the fleet, he wrote: "Compared with the naval strength of Japan, when the Japanese are in the middle of the best, Japan buys large ships every year, and the moon grows stronger.If I am content with the present navy and do not speak of enterprising skills, the future will not be easy to say. ”The First Sino-Japanese War had both chance and inevitability, but this accidental defeat pushed China into the abyss of no return, otherwise, the Chinese Emperor believed that even the corrupt Qing Dynasty would not have completely become the meat of the great powers in the next few years.If it weren't for the last few years of Empress Dowager Cixi's reign, China would not have been drained of blood, and it would not have been able to slow down for the next half century.Now, the Huahuang is catching up with the time, the rise of the Huaguo, not too late and, the Huahuang of the Huaguo, not only the system is advanced, but also has the biggest advantage, that is, the Huahuang was criticized at the beginning of the age problem, now, the age of the Huahuang, has become a huge advantage, compared with the old leaders of European countries, the young Huahuang, as long as he shows a certain ability, will not let anyone underestimate the future development speed of Huaguo."
I've been talking to Zeng Jize for so long," Princess Katrina Kafu saw Her Majesty come in, and sat down in her clothes.Hua Huang smiled: "You don't have to wait for me, I asked Zeng Jize to go to Germany first tomorrow, so I talked to him for a while." ”"Hmm."
Although Princess Katrina Kafu was a little surprised, why did His Majesty let Zeng Jize suddenly go to Germany first, but he didn't ask much, His Majesty's arrangement always had his reason.President Meng closed his eyes, and a group of beautiful secretaries served His Majesty to change clothes and wash, and in less than five minutes, the emperor lay down.During this period, both Emperor Hua and Princess Katrina Kafu did not speak, mainly because Huang Hua wanted to speak, Princess Katrina Kafu could feel it, Princess Katrina Kafu felt that although Huang Hua often said that there was no pressure, but during this time, His Majesty's pressure was obviously too great, she was very distressed, and gently leaned on the side of Hua Huang's arm.President Meng smiled: "Sleep, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will find an opportunity to talk to Carol I about signing an alliance." ”"Shall we offer it, don't wait for them to do it first," said Princess Katrina Kaaf."
No, since we must sign a secret covenant, whoever proposes it first will be the same, and it will better reflect our sincerity if we bring it up first."
President Moe explained.Princess Katrina Kafu thought about it, and it was indeed the same reason, and smiled slightly: "Okay."
All at the mercy of His Majesty's arrangement. ”Hua Huang smiled and closed his eyes, and after a while, he fell asleep deeply.When the Emperor was about to send Zeng Jize to Berlin for diplomacy, Ito Hirobumi had already completed his diplomacy with Britain and France, and was on the train to Berlin, and he was about to arrive in Berlin."
Sir, the Chinese Emperor and his entourage are still in Bucharest, the capital of the Kingdom of Romania, and according to the latest information, Zeng Jize also went to Bucharest to meet the Chinese Emperor."
Mori Yuri smiled and reported to Hirobumi Ito, who was Hirobumi Ito's deputy for diplomacy.Ito Hirofumi smiled, and then his eyes flashed sharply, "No matter how they are diplomatic, it is all in vain, the British Empire has issued an order to China to withdraw from Japan within a time limit, and he does not look for influential big countries, but specifically for some small states, I don't know what I want to do Xuan Yuemeng has a little talent in governing internal affairs, but in diplomacy, he is still too young." ”"Yes, where is there a person who is an emperor who visits by himself, and it is not that people invite him, he himself sticks a face, and runs from country to country, it's really funny."
Mori said with a smile."
He's catching up with the good time, plus good luck, this kid's luck is really good, he just has some talent in business, who knows, just a small landlord, in such a big China, can actually gain power" Ito Hirobumi slapped his face, seemingly extremely unwilling, "If it weren't for such an extra child, there would be no obstacles to our Japan's restructuring and rise, but there is no need to panic now, as long as the Chinese army is withdrawn from Japan, we will be able to complete the restructuring immediately, With the British and the French to help us industrially, they will definitely try to help us, they don't have to worry about the growth of such a small country as our territory, what they are afraid of is the emergence of a huge enemy like China in Asia, as long as there is the help of the British and French, plus the spirit of our Japanese hard work, I predict that in less than five years, we can catch up with the current Chinese industry, and in less than ten years, we will be able to have an army that can compete with China, whether it is the army or the navy.
Sir's words are very right, when the time comes, we will get back the humiliation we have suffered today, and return ten times the amount to the pedantic Chinese," Mori said fiercely."
Look at the countries he interacted with, the Kingdom of Greece, the Kingdom of Bulgaria, the Kingdom of Romania, I heard that he went to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and people ignored him, alas, what is the use" Ito Hirobumi laughed."
Yes, yes."
Mori Yuli said, saw Ito Hirobumi walking towards the curtain, knew that Ito Hirobumi was going to do something, and hurriedly exited the box on Ito Hirobumi's train.Hirobumi Ito put his arms around a beautiful woman, pulled the two blonde beauties into his arms together, and began to run errands.Hirobumi Ito's good woman is also known to many people."
Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty".Although he was a great statesman in Japanese history, he was also tied with Toyotomi Hideyoshi for being lustful.Most of the women he dated were geisha, and his Lady Plum was also a geisha.After the Meiji Restoration, Hirobumi Ito often played as a prostitute in Shimbashi, Tokyo.Later, in order to avoid people's eyes, he asked the pet artist Akura to open a tea house in Yokohama, and the Fugui Building became a secret place for the Meiji nouveau riche.After Ito Hirobumi took power, he continued to have romances, and once pursued the geisha Erira Kayo.Ega Kayo is a famous gardener, who was the concubine of the political veteran Saionji Gongwang, and later followed Kido Takayo.After Kido's death, Hirobumi Ito pursued Era, but in the end, Era married Genemon Mitsui of the Mitsui chaebol and brought a 19-year-old geisha with him when he went to Korea to serve as the chief supervisor.Even in modern times, such a thing cannot be allowed.From this point of view, he is not qualified to be called a "reformer" at all.Although Meizi is his only main room, there is no shortage of other women around him.Therefore, he once wrote to his eldest son Bobang, meaning that Mrs.
Meizi's love and hard work with him could not be exhausted, and asked his son to give 100,000 yuan from the inheritance to Meizi after his death, which shows that he is not without guilt for his wife.However, after his death, people found that the balance was less than 50,000 yuan when they sorted out his belongings, and later fortunately the Japanese emperor gave 100,000 yuan to fulfill his wish.There are more than a dozen diners under his door, coupled with his attitude of "life must be happy" and "his daughter will come back after being gone", so it is impossible to accumulate much wealth.At the same time, this unabashed personality is also one of the reasons why he was liked by later generations of Japanese people.Ito has a track record in domestic affairs, but he is uncomplimented in foreign policy and women's relations.On this night in 1979, Emperor Hua and Ito Hirobumi were in Europe together, but their moods were completely different.t1706231537:
