"What's the matter" Princess Katrina Kafu asked in surprise, she also read the telegram just now, and found no problems, "Isn't it that Ito Hirobumi has met the Kaiser, and this doesn't mean that Germany will support the Japanese, after all, Germany and Britain and France are at odds with each other, will they watch the British continue to expand their power in Asia?"
"I judge from the last sentence of the telegram, it was the Kaiser's attendant officials who personally sent Ito Hirobumi and Shigeru Moriyama out of the palace, which shows that Ito Hirobumi used the old method again this time, not only to send money to the Kaiser, Money was also sent to the Kaiser's attendant officials, and, depending on the situation, the effect was very good. ”President Moe explained.Princess Katrina Kafu was a little incomprehensible, "Such a big thing can be done by sending money, so we are not poorer than the Japanese, do we also send money" "We send money or not, this is not the most important thing, the problem is, I judge that the Kaiser received money from the Japanese, which shows that the Germans are originally inclined to Japan from the heart, after all, we are the largest country in Asia, a great power, and we don't want China to become strong." ”Hua Huang continued to explain.As soon as President Meng said this, Princess Katrina Kafu immediately understood, and said worriedly: "It's Your Majesty who said this truth, and it's very troublesome now." ”President Meng clapped his hands, "Don't be too discouraged, Ito Hirobumi is already a very powerful person, let's continue to work hard." ”Ito's legacy was the military department, which the government could not control.Why did Shanxian set up a military department, and the world's powerful countries set it up like this, who did not have the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Navy, and who did not have the General Staff, and the era of relying on one general to fight a war has passed, and although Li Hongzhang has been using troops for many years, he does not know this truth.The principle of separating the military from the government and the military order was not reflected in either the Beiyang Fleet or the Huai Army.There is such a big gap, and what reason is there to say that Li Hongzhang can do a better job than Ito, and Li Hongzhang is also the same, his knowledge is too backward.In other words, China at the same time was too backward.Emperor Hua believes that even if it is not too much to say that Ito Hirobumi is the Optimus Prime of Japan, he can communicate with the emperor at the top, restrain the military department at the middle, and unite the people at the bottom.I was able to give full play to Japan's national strength on its own.Moreover, although he has been in power for a long time, he has always been arrogant and impatient, and has always kept Japan's international and domestic strategic direction correct.Amazingly talented, so far, the first person in Japan after the Warring States period, however, history is often rewritten by small people.If it weren't for a Japanese lieutenant who insulted the queen of Joseon and provoked the head of the guard, An Shigeun, to assassinate Ito Hirobumi and let him live for another 10 years, although the general outcome of World War II may not change, for China, the price of victory in the War of Resistance may be more than the loss of 50 million people.In the original history, Ito once teased Li Hongzhang and said: I want to think about how majestic the Lord Zhongtang was, and if you can't negotiate, you have to point to the fact that Ito came to China to negotiate with Li Hongzhang in 1884 because Japan wanted to invade Korea, and was categorically rejected by Li Hongzhang, and now it is really beaten, what is the result, I once gave a piece of advice to the adults, hoping that your country will quickly reform its internal affairs, otherwise our country will definitely come from behind, and now ten years have passed, my words have come true, Li Hongzhang sighed and said: Reform internal affairs, I don't want to do it, but our country is too big, The kings and ministers are not in harmony with each other, and they are not as united as your country.If the two of us change places, what will be the resultIto thought for a moment and said: If you were me, you would definitely be better than me in Japan; If I were you, I wouldn't necessarily be better than you in China.It can be seen from the dialogue that Ito Hirobumi is not only capable, but also very broad-minded, if it weren't for this, the emperor would not value Ito Hirobumi so much, Ito Hirobumi is indeed a worthy person, or worthy of being the opponent of the emperor, if the opponent is too weak, life will be boring.In April 1875, the Meiji government issued an edict promising to establish a constitutional government and establish a cabinet, with Ito Hirobumi as foreign minister.The emperor ordered him to draft a constitution, and Ito Hirobumi believed that the German system was the most suitable for Japan, so he used the rsiannsitition as a model to compile the Japanese constitution, and it was at this time that Japan began to accept the ideas of "democracy" and "freedom".In 1889, the Meiji Constitution was promulgated, the first constitution in the history of Japan and in the history of Asia.Although it was described as a superficial constitutional form of government, Japan became the first constitutional country in Asia and a country governed by the rule of law.Not to mention the judiciary, because the independence of the Japanese judiciary at this time was not guaranteed, according to the Meiji Constitution, Ito Hirobumi had a certain influence on Japan and even Asia, and it is undeniable that he was a very good politician.If Ito Hirobumi can live for 20 more years, Japan will most likely not want to occupy the whole of China by force, in that case, the war will actually hurt China even more.Ito Hirobumi was against the annexation of Korea at the time, which was something that could only be done with the vision of a great man.First of all, in the early 20th century, the official name of the unified regime on the Korean Peninsula was the Korean Empire.Around the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, the Guitaft Agreement, the Japan-United States, the Second Japan-Britain Alliance, the Japan-Britain Treaty, and the Portsmouth Treaty, and the Japan-Russia Treaty clearly stipulated that Japan could freely acquire the Korean Peninsula, and that there were no obstacles to annexation or colonization.The reason why Ito Hirobumi opposed the annexation and changed it to the post of Korean Commander actually contained Ito's own ideals.Ito Hirobumi is an Asianist, and in short, he hopes that Japan will lead the backward with the advanced, support the development of China and South Korea, and then join forces to resist the European and American powers.During the Westernization Movement, Ito Hirobumi was very concerned about China's reforms; In 1898, Ito Hirobumi came to China to make many suggestions to Kang Liang, but he also directly angered Cixi, and finally there was a coup d'état.The same was true for South Korea, where he hoped to replicate the Meiji Restoration.In March 1906, Ito Hirobumi officially took office as the first Korean commander-in-chief, and he used Japanese loans to build schools in various places, encourage industrial and commercial development, and establish a political system in imitation of Japan.In order to better integrate South Korea into Japan, Ito Hirobumi even communicated with the South Korean royal family: he brought 10-year-old South Korean Crown Prince Lee Yin to Japan to study and raised him himself, hoping that he could become a bridge between Japan and South Korea in the future.But the problem is that in order for South Korea to listen to Japan, Japan had to deprive South Korea of its sovereignty on a large scale: in 1907, the Korean delegates went to the Hague International Peace Conference, but were expelled by the Russians, and on July 20, 1907, Ito Hirobumi forced the Korean Emperor Gojong to abdicate and set up a new emperor; On July 24, the 3rd Japan-Korea Entente was concluded, and Korea's internal affairs completely fell into the hands of the Japanese; In August, Ito Hirobumi ordered the disbandment of the South Korean army.On the one hand, it deprives South Korea of its diplomatic rights, which is a development towards a colony; On the one hand, it encourages the development of South Korea, which is to develop towards an independent country.After about three years, a large number of opposition forces appeared in South Korea, and Ito's reform was carried out slowly.In June 1909, Ito resigned as the Unified Governor of Korea, and in July, the Japanese Cabinet reached an agreement to promote the merger of Japan and Korea.In October 1909, Ito Hirobumi was assassinated, and in August 1910, Japan took the opportunity to announce the annexation of Korea.Ito's greatest ambition lies in diplomacy.Before the Russo-Japanese War, he repeatedly negotiated with the Russian side, hoping to avoid war as much as possible; Immediately after the start of the war, he sent his envoy Kentaro Kaneko to the United States to seek a suitable time to negotiate peace; Plus he created the old constitution of Japan.Ito Hirobumi himself has the idealistic temperament of a scholar, which is different from the mud legs of Aritomo Yamaguchi, which led to his unsuccessful reform in South Korea in the past three years.Hirobumi Ito has a famous photo, he and his wife are wearing Korean national costumes to take pictures with Koreans, if there is no considerable degree of Asianism, he will definitely feel that the Japanese nation is nobler, how can he wear Korean clothes t1706231537:
