Chapter 124 The Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War broke out
After Liu Anjiang became an official, he first served as the director of the Ministry of Industry and was awarded the third-grade title of Hualing and the candidate for the fifth-grade official title of Jingtang. He was responsible for the approval and supervision of construction in various places.
After Zhang Jian passed the imperial examination, he was assigned to the Hanlin Academy as a compiler. He was mainly responsible for drafting imperial edicts, compiling historical books, and giving lectures on classics and banquets.
Liu Anjiang had no friends in the capital, so he regarded Zhang Jian as his elder brother. They often spent time together, reciting poems and essays, drinking and chatting. Since Zhang Jian was responsible for editing imperial edicts, compiling historical books, and attending banquets, he also
Liu Anjiang is very interested in the study of literature. He often stays up all night to find some literature and materials to read and study.
One day, Liu Anjiang was reading policies about the Qing Dynasty in his residence. At this time, Zhang Jian led a person in. As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Jian said: Dear brother, come, let me introduce to you, this is the Eighteen Years Two Lists
Tang Shouqian was a Jinshi and a common scholar in the Hanlin Academy. He is currently the associate editor of the National History Museum.
Zhang Jian then pointed at Liu Anjiang and said to Tang Shouqian: That is Liu Anjiang (Liu Jinzao), a new scholar in science and technology. He is from Wucheng County. You can be said to be fellow villagers. Haha.
When Liu Anjiang heard that the person who came with Zhang Jian was Tang Shouqian, he bowed his hands and said: "I'm glad to meet you. I've heard of Brother Tang's name for a long time. Brother Tang's excellent work "Warning Statements" in the 16th year has been read by my brother. Brother Tang proposed to streamline it."
Redundant personnel, reforming the imperial examinations, promoting schools, developing mineral deposits, building railways, constructing water conservancy projects, strengthening naval defense, etc., are really concerned about the country and the people, and are far-sighted and admirable.
Tang Shouqian smiled and said: Where is it? How can a villain change the sky and the earth? The sky is still the emperor's sky, and the earth is still the emperor's earth. I just graffiti at will to express my feelings.
Liu Anjiang immediately gave up his seat to the two of them and made tea.
Zhang Jian picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying: Well, this tea tastes not bad.
Liu Anjiang smiled and said: That is the best Longjing.
Tang Shouqian picked up the teacup, looked at it carefully, and sighed: Tea has three flavors, and people have various expressions. This small teacup is like the world, and every piece of tea is like every life. In this world, life has various expressions.
You sink and I float, you go down and I go up, you squeeze me and I hug. Each demonstrates the glory and precipitation of each person's life, demonstrates the goodwill and ugliness of life, and demonstrates the true meaning of the vicissitudes of life.
Life is like tea. A cup of good tea is like a person's character. Light water, light and elegant, pure and noble, full of fragrance. When you drink it, it is like a stimulant, nourishing people's heart and lungs, making people relaxed and happy.
.
A villain who is despicable, uses power for personal gain, is greedy, benefits himself at the expense of others, and is just like a cup of inferior tea, which is bitter, turbid, and boring.
Life is like tea, all hardships come with joy. It shows the ups and downs and bitterness of life, the hardships and sufferings; only by constantly rolling in this vast world can you have endless aftertaste.
Life is like tea. Holding a pot in your hand, your hands are light and your heart is light, and your heart is light and your hands are even lighter. As long as you have a peaceful and indifferent mentality, drink all the happiness, suffering, sadness and pain that life gives you. When you accept this cup of tea calmly, your mouth will
It may be a bit bitter at first, but as long as you taste it patiently and carefully, life will have a different taste.
Liu Anjiang said: Brother Tang’s words are full of philosophy and have benefited me a lot.
Zhang Jian also said: In life, those who are content are always happy.
They talked happily with each other.
...
1894, this year, was the year when China lost power and humiliated the country.
After the Meiji Restoration and armament expansion, Japan's strength has greatly increased. It has once again ignited its ambition to invade China. Japan has always pursued Toyotomi Hideyoshi's continental policy, that is, to first take Korea and then march into China. In the 16th century, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ruled
During the Japanese period, he once had a dream, that is, to incorporate North Korea and China into Japanese territory. He wanted to "boat on the West Lake and live in Hangzhou". So in his later years, he continued to fight against North Korea until his death. Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty sent troops
He went to North Korea to help North Korea resist the Japanese army. In the end, the Japanese army failed. However, all Japanese rulers with aggressive ambitions in the future will always pursue this policy.
On July 25, 1894, Japan launched an undeclared war and attacked the Qing army troop transport Jiyuan and Guangyi off the coast of Toyoshima, Korea, which was reinforcing North Korea. The Battle of Toyoshima broke out.
During the naval battle, the Naniwa ship of the First Guerrilla Force of the Japanese Combined Fleet sank the British merchant ship Gaosheng, which was hired by the Qing army to transport troops, creating the famous Gaosheng incident in history. At that time, the Gaosheng carried a total of 1,116 Qing officers and soldiers, except for
Except for 245 people who were rescued alive, the remaining 871 Jianghuai descendants all died heroically for their country. There were also 74 ship staff, only 12 were rescued, and the remaining 56 were all buried at the bottom of the sea. The 871 Huai troops under Li Hongzhang's army have been refined for many years.
Disaster.
It directly led to the imbalance of military power between China and Japan in North Korea, and indirectly defeated the Qing army psychologically. Its morale was greatly depressed. At this point, Japan finally detonated the Sino-Japanese War of 1891-1898. On September 15 of the same year, the Battle of Pyongyang broke out, and the Qing Dynasty
The Korean army fought fiercely with the invading Japanese army, but due to the greed for life and fear of death among the Qing army's supreme commander Ye Zhichao, Korea was eventually occupied by Japan. In addition, the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the Battle of Liaodong, and the Battle of Weihai all ended with the defeat of the Qing government.
, the entire Beiyang Navy was almost wiped out.
On April 17, 1895, the Qing government was forced to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which was humiliating and humiliating to the country. According to the treaty, China ceded the Liaodong Peninsula (later failed due to the interference of the three countries in returning Liao), Taiwan Island and its affiliated islands,
The Penghu Islands were given to Japan and Japan was compensated with 200 million taels of silver. China also opened Shashi, Chongqing, Suzhou, and Hangzhou as commercial ports, and allowed Japan to invest and set up factories in China's treaty ports.
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1894, the frenzy of partition became increasingly intense, and "saving the nation and trying to survive" became the main theme of the times. All strata of Chinese society were trying to save the nation from peril in their own way, which caused China's national movement to rise. Its main manifestations are as follows: First, the following strata
The Boxer Rebellion anti-imperialist and patriotic movement with farmers as the main body; the second was the reform movement led by the upper echelons of the national bourgeoisie and the origin of the bourgeois revolutionaries.
In the spring of 1895, Yiweike Jinshi was finishing the joint examination in Peking and waiting for the results to be released. At this time, the news that Taiwan and Liaodong were ceded and the indemnity of 200 million taels of silver in the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" suddenly came, and the people who were taking the examination in Beijing were furious. Taiwan
Ji Juren cried bitterly.
On April 22, Kang Youwei wrote the 18,000-word "Emperor's Letter to the Supreme Being", which was responded to by people from eighteen provinces and signed by more than 1,200 people. On May 2, people from eighteen provinces and thousands of citizens signed
They gathered in front of the "Capital Procuratorate" and asked for a memorial. They proposed "rejecting peace, moving the capital, training troops, and reforming the law". The famous "Bus Incident" occurred.
Although the petition was rejected by the Qing government, it had a huge impact on society. Afterwards, Kang Youwei and others used the call for "reform to strengthen the country" and published newspapers in Beijing, Shanghai and other places to promote reform ideas. Yan Fu and Tan Sitong also published in other places
, Promote reform ideas.
The reform ideas coincided with Tang Shouqian's original thoughts. Therefore, he had frequent contacts with Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, and Tan Sitong, and established the "Qiang Xue Xue", where they often met together to discuss major national affairs. This was very important to Zhang Jian and Liu
Anjiang was also greatly touched. They also felt that it was sad that the imperial court was so weak and had ruined a good country. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Only when the country is rich can the people be strong. They feel that only by rejuvenating the country through industry can the country be rejuvenated.
The only way out. Chapter The Sino-Japanese War broke out
