Due to the implementation of the Meiji Restoration, Japan seemed to have entered the capital age and the industrial age from the feudal period of the slave era overnight. It gained the recognition of European countries through diplomatic channels. The reforms allowed Japan, a small country, to begin to move closer to European countries, and
It began to gradually join the embrace of Europe, and then became an Asian country recognized by the Western family.
And then, whenever Japan, a small country, encounters trouble, the United States is the latest to stand up, because the United States has long wanted to get involved in Taiwan. It supports Japan because it wants to control Taiwan's territory through Japan's hands, so that it can gain greater
Benefit.
After the United States united with Britain and France, it nominally mediated the conflict between the Qing Dynasty and Japan. In fact, it mainly helped Japan put pressure on the Qing government. With the joint help of the three countries, the cowardly Qing government gave in step by step. Although it gave in to Japan
The ever-increasing pressure of the Qing Dynasty was very damaging to the dignity of the Qing Dynasty, but since the Opium War, there was another time when the Qing government wanted to bow to the great powers.
After several maritime provocations, Japan, a small country that had never been thought of by the Qing government, actually bought a few warships and learned from the great powers to constantly provoke the majesty of the Qing Dynasty. After several various maritime incidents, the Chinese people's
Self-confidence was once again hit. Then, after some intense discussions, the late Qing government decided that Emperor Guangxu would declare an edict to establish two naval divisions, the Nanyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy, and hoped that the two navies would go hand in hand. However, every imperial edict of Guangxu
Behind it, there was more or less the intention of Empress Dowager Cixi. While countless officials in the border areas were speculating, another imperial edict came out. Lin Zexu's son-in-law Shen Baozhen was appointed as the Minister of Commerce in Nanyang, and Li Hongzhang in Beiyang.
Shen Baozhen and Li Hongzhang were both Jinshi in 1847, and both of them were leaders in the Westernization Movement. However, during the development of the two navies, the two were still fighting openly and secretly. Li Hongzhang wanted to quickly strengthen the strength of his Beiyang Navy.
In order to consolidate his position in the court, Shen Baozhen also wanted to seek more space for the Nanyang Navy.
The key point in the struggle was the annual military expenditure of 4 million taels of silver given by the late Qing court to the two naval divisions in the Southern and Southern Oceans. Shen Baozhen could not be Li Hongzhang's opponent at all, because Li Hongzhang held the position of commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of the Huai Army.
There are more than 420 officials in this line. There are 13 people who hold the post of governor, governor and governor of the feudal territory, and there are more than 1,000 people with fifth rank or above.
Because Shen Baozhen was influenced by Lin Zexu and Confucian scholarship, he acted like a gentleman in many disputes and gave in to Li Hongzhang, a politician. Therefore, Li Hongzhang often withheld Nanyang's new warships and exchanged the old warships of the Beiyang Navy for Shen Baozhen's Nanyang.
Navy.
In 1886, the Mawei Shipbuilding Academy was established. The Shipbuilding Academy could be regarded as a new type of naval school, but it was not recognized by many students who wanted to enter the imperial court through the imperial examination. However, it gave a group of students from poor families
It also gave Li Ningyu a chance. At the same time, these people also included famous generals of the Beiyang Navy, Deng Shichang, Liu Buchan, etc.
At Mawei Shipbuilding Academy, all communication here is through English every day. There are always many coincidences. In Japan's Naval War School, the spirit of Bushido has been thoroughly implemented, and for their militarism, there is a culture of risking one's life.
Dissemination also started.
In the struggle between Li Hongzhang and Shen Baozhen, the ironclad ship was the core of their battle. The ironclad ship is also called a battleship. It has huge artillery and strong and thick armor. It has a huge body and has strong lethality. At the same time,
Also known as the sea giant or sea overlord.
And as long as any country's navy has such a ship, it means that that country's navy is an extremely powerful navy, just like that country's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the navy of the 21st century.
Since entering Beijing and being put under indirect house arrest, Li Ningyu has become calm on the surface, but his patriotism has never stopped. Time passes step by step, and every day and every month seems to be firing at any time.
It was as if the gun went off. When the time came to 1887, after the late Qing government and Portugal signed the Treaty of Beijing.
Macau, one of the Chinese territories, was ceded, and Li Ningyu was heartbroken. After secretly feeling sad in the study room of his old house in Beijing, Li Ningyu lost his temper and broke three tea bowls in a row. However, Wan'er, who was a personal maid, saw something in her eyes.
There was a flash of light, because since he returned to Beijing to serve the young master, it has been a long time since he saw his young master getting angry.
Although at this time, the New Army stationed in North Korea has grown to 12 infantry divisions, three infantry corps, one cavalry division, one mountain artillery division, and four special forces brigades, and two of North Korea's three major military ports have been built and in use.
, two battleships, four cruisers, and 16 torpedo ships, but Li Ningyu has no strength to do everything now.
Although after several years of deployment, Li Ningyu has put the matter of fighting abroad on his agenda. In the first step, the dark night intelligence team led by Zhang Jun has penetrated into the vassal countries near the Qing Dynasty, intensifying the hidden conflicts between the Chinese and the exploitative rulers.
Contradictory, at the same time, a large number of merchants were sent to various countries for trade, but without actual troops being sent, everything could only be kept under the table.
Wan'er on the side brought another tea bowl, then stepped away and stood quietly. Li Ningyu sighed and said: "Thank you, Wan'er!".
"This is the young master I should be!" Hearing Li Ningyu's familiar voice of thanks, Wan'er responded politely and politely, and then said involuntarily: "Master, Wan'er has something to say that I don't know if I should say!".
Hearing Wan'er's sudden words, Li Ningyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "If you want to say it, just say it! I don't blame you!".
"Well, thank you, Master! Just now I saw the Master lose his temper, and I thought to myself that the Master must be worried about national affairs, but I think that instead of sulking here, the Master might as well solve it!" Wan'er said cautiously.
The thoughts in his heart, but as soon as these words passed through Li Ningyu's mind, Li Ningyu immediately realized that he was really stupid, why didn't he think of it.
Then Li Ningyu looked at Wan'er gratefully and said: "Thank you Wan'er, go and prepare some gifts for me. I'm going to visit Prince Gong tomorrow!".
"Yes!" Wan'er left softly after responding, and then Li Ningyu began to write quickly, and then letters were sent out from Beijing, some of them were heading towards North Korea, some towards the southeast, and some towards the north.
In the northwest region, in short, Li Ningyu does not plan to stay in Beijing anymore. He wants to go out and stretch his muscles.
