In fact, the Chinese emperor did not care very much about occupying only the area east of Fukuoka and Kurume, or occupying the entire island of Kyushu, for a small country like Japan, cutting off Kyushu Island and not allowing Kyushu Island to enter the entire administrative region of Japan, this is enough, and China's industrial products have a channel to continuously import to Japan, which is enough, and China's industrial system, even in the initial stage, with an agricultural country like Japan, without tariff obstacles, is enough to wash Japan to ancient times.The Meiji Restoration of the Japanese and the reform of serfdom in Tsarist Russia began almost simultaneously.Russian serfdom was a top-down reform with a capitalist nature implemented by the Russian tsar in view of the growing strength of Western Europe.In the same way, the Meiji Restoration was ostensibly promoted by Emperor Meiji, but in fact the real mastermind of the reform was not the emperor, but the feudal clansmen of the former Choshu Satsuma feudal clan of the Imperial faction during the Imjin War.The emperor is the spiritual and religious symbol of the large landlord class in Japan, and the administrative power has been elevated for hundreds of years, and the feudal clan is the representative of the samurai of the landlord class with Japanese characteristics.Therefore, the leadership class of the Meiji Restoration was also the original class of large landowners, and after the Meiji Restoration, they either became professional bureaucrats and feudal lords of the government, or became the emperor of the highest religion and symbol of power of the country, or lost their land control and exchanged for a large amount of wealth to become the original daimyo of the chaebol.The reason why the Kawa Emperor allowed the existence of the samurai army was to facilitate the consumption of the living forces of Kyushu Island, and on the other hand, it was to pave the way for the re-introduction of Tokugawa Yoshiki, Saigo Takamori certainly could not be a candidate for the head of the puppet regime, and Tokugawa Yoshiki was different.Tokugawa Yoshiki was born in the Mito family, one of the three Tokugawa royal families, his father was Tokugawa Saiaki, and his mother Tominomiya Yoshiko was the main family of Saiaki, and Keiki was the seventh among many brothers.In 1847, Honghua inherited the Itotsubashi family in 4 years.On the issue of the successor of the shogun's family, he was supported by the so-called Hitotsubashi faction, and he fought with Ieshige, who was elected by the Nanki faction such as Ii Naobi, and failed.When Anzheng was in prison, he was punished by "seclusion" and "prudence", and Jing Yi was pardoned after his death.In the face of declining business, Keiki hoped to use French assistance in Westernization after the inheritance, obtain a French loan of 6 million US dollars to recruit French officers, purchase weapons and ships, and form a Japanese-French company to develop industrial and commercial trade, and re-propose the integration of public and military forces to reform the shogunate.In 1862, after the shogunate reform in the second year of Bunjiu, he took office as a shogun, and implemented a policy of maintaining shogunate power and combining public and military forces.In 1866, after the death of the 14th shogun Ieshige in Keio 2, Keiki was appointed as a shogun.At the suggestion and assistance of the French Minister Roche, he carried out shogunate reform based on the European-style system, and envisaged the establishment of a unified power structure centered on the Tokugawa clan.Unexpectedly, in July 1866, the new French Foreign Minister Musti took charge of the government, and no longer supported the diplomatic line of the French Minister Luo Shuya to connect with the shogunate, but instead took the same line with the British, and tended to form a public government system that dissolved the shogunate; In late 1866, Emperor Komei, who had been supporting the combination of public and military forces and opposing the fall of the shogunate, was said to have been the work of the Shogunate faction, which further destroyed Keiki's dream of maintaining the legitimacy of the shogunate.As a result, in June 1867, Ryoma Sakamoto and Zojiro Goto of the Tosa Domain established the "Eight Policies in the Boat", advocating that the shogunate should return the government to the daimyo and form a daimyo public government under the leadership of the emperor, and that the Satsuma Domain, Tosa Domain, and Aki Domain signed a letter of agreement to support it.In September 1867, the Satsuma Domain and the Choshu Domain reached an agreement to send troops, and later joined the Aki Domain to form the Shogunate Alliance.
In October, representatives of the three feudal clans gathered in Kyoto and obtained a secret edict from the emperor and decided to send troops.In order to avoid a Japanese civil war, Keiki took the initiative to hold a ceremony to return the Daisei to Nijo Castle, and on October 14, 1867, he returned the Daisei to the Emperor.The Emperor promulgated the Imperial Decree to abolish the shogunate.Keiki hopes to use this as a bitter ploy in order to eventually retain his strength under the new regime in order to regain dominance.However, the Shogunate did not trust the shogunate's actions and decided to launch a coup d'état in the name of "Imperial Rebellion" and establish a new government led by the emperor.Tokugawa Yoshiki faced the harsh demands of the imperial court and the shogunate faction, and was forced to lead the shogunate army of 15,000 men from Osaka to attack Kyoto, and the decisive battle of the government army of 5,000 men was defeated, but in the end the shogunate army was defeated in Toba and Fushimi, and Keiki had to flee back to Edo.In the end, Keiki agreed to surrender under the persuasion of the navy director Katsukaishu, and in May 1868, Tokugawa Yoshiki surrendered Edo, changed the title to Shizuoka, and received 700,000 stone land, ending the 265-year rule of the Tokugawa shogunate in Edo.In 1868, when the Tokugawa clan was disposed of, it was decided that the Tokugawa family would be succeeded by the Tokugawa family by Tayasu Kamenosuke, and he was sealed with 700,000 koku in Sunfu.In July, Kyungki moved to Sunfu.Tokugawa Yoshiki, as the last shogun of the shogunate, took the initiative to return the government, he was not a "king of the fallen country" in the general sense, and was deeply sympathetic to the Japanese people, at least, at this time in 1879, when the Chinese emperor was located, the spirit of bushido had not yet taken deep roots in the army, let alone in the whole society.Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was the emperor for seventeen years, but the death of the Ming Dynasty began in the last years of Wanli and the Apocalypse.Pu Yi has been the emperor for three years, and some people will say that the Qing Dynasty is to blame for the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and he only has the position of general for one year.Like all last rulers, Keiki wants to reform.But by the time he took over, it was too late.In terms of enemies, when he came to power, Sa Chang had already become a climate.Internally, it was too late for the combination of public and military forces that he advocated, because Emperor Xiaoming died.The Shogunate faction was ordered by Emperor Meiji, which is reasonable.Externally, both France and England felt that it would be more advantageous for the shogunate to fall.Therefore, the return of the great government was already the best solution that Tokugawa Yoshiki could do as a shogun at that time: to transfer power with as little bloodshed as possible, and to avoid the Japanese civil war.retained its strength and gained a certain amount of public opinion support, so there was a royal government retro.Dazheng Feng is not necessarily selfless, after all, there is the attempted restoration war of Wang Zheng's retro behind.He must have selfish intentions, but in terms of effect, Japan has experienced less war and entered the next era.This is what the Emperor did not allow, the Emperor did not allow the Japanese to enter the state of the zombie militarism, once they entered the orbit of the zombie militarism, this small country was a situation of endless death.Of course, even if the Emperor uses so many means, it is impossible to avoid that Japan will still go on the road of zombies in the end, but until then, infinitely weakening this zombie is the best way for the Emperor and the country.After the Restoration, there were many local battles of all kinds, and Tokugawa Yoshiki was not the most noisy.In the Battle of Toba Fushimi, Tokugawa Yoshiki did not show his military talent against the sky, and the public morality and motives of politicians cannot be evaluated in detail, and they are too subtle and intricate.From the point of view of effect, the return of the Great Politics and the failure of the Wang Zheng were relatively good choices for Japan at that time.Tokugawa Yoshiki did not fight to the death, but he avoided the Japanese bloodbath, which can be regarded as meritorious.Compared to Ieyasu's fight against Osaka again and again, he is less tormented.There are many doomsday rulers who have taken over power, and Tokugawa Yoshiki is the one with the harshest external conditions and relatively enlightened actions, so the ending is relatively good.I am also very cooperative with the new era.This is a better outcome for those in power in the apocalypse.Whoever puts it on him may not do much better, at most, in the new era, to fight for more rights and interests for the shogunate faction.As for personal morality, he is a person who doesn't care about politics.Oil painting, photography, driving a car, a very trendy person.He has received a very formal education since he was a child, and he is quite upright.In short, Tokugawa Keiki is an irreplaceable candidate who meets all the conditions of a puppet boss in all aspects, which is why Li Hongzhang proposed that either Tokugawa Keiki come to Kyushu Island, and the Chinese army can retreat to the area west of Fukuoka and Kurume, or let the Japanese government cede the entire Kyushu Island to China as war compensation for Japan's invasion of Korea.Li Hongzhang reached a consensus with the Emperor Hua before and obtained the approval of the Emperor Hua, but in the process after that, the Emperor gave full authority to Li Hongzhang and Xuan Jianzhang to control, and this time the attack on Xiaguan City was mainly because the Emperor temporarily came to the telegram, in order to cooperate with the Emperor's diplomacy in Europe, and the campaign was launched.After Xuan Jianzhang took Shimonoseki Castle, the First Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army was stationed in Shimonoseki Castle, and the Second Regiment of the First Brigade of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army was stationed in Kitakyushu Castle."
How is the situation over there," Li Hongzhang personally dialed Xuan Jianzhang's intercom.The two of them were in Shimonoseki Castle and the other in Nagasaki Castle, but they seemed to be by their side.Xuan Jianzhang and Li Hongzhang already used radio intercom, and Huaguo was at the forefront of the entire era in electronic communications."
Very good, the army has finished repairing, and the ammunition is enough to support a high-density campaign."
Xuan Jianzhang replied."
Don't take it lightly, I've heard that the British and French are already helping Japan to transport armaments from Europe," Li Hongzhang reminded.Huaguo has a single person in charge of the statistics bureau in Japan, but Xuan Jianzhang of the military knows faster and more detailed than Li Hongzhang, so Li Hongzhang is not very sure.Xuan Jianzhang nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that a large number of armaments were transported, and it seems that the British lent them money again." ”Without naval support, it is so passive, Li Hongzhang was silent for a few seconds, and asked: "Then are you sure to win again" t1706231537:
