By the Tang Dynasty, Japan had the ambition to get its hands on the mainland plate. North Korea in the Three Kingdoms period gave Japan a chance. At that time, Baekje formed an alliance with Japan, and the Tang Dynasty formed an alliance with Silla. First, Baekje attacked Silla, Silla turned to the Tang Dynasty for help, and Baekje perished. Later, Japan supported the remnants of Baekje against Tang Jun, and as a result, the Japanese Baekje Coalition forces were completely annihilated. The desire to get their hands on the mainland for the first time was eliminated.
The Japanese who were frightened in the Tang Dynasty were honest and did not intervene in mainland affairs. Maybe they don't have the courage to get their hands on the mainland. But because of Kublai Khan's two failed conquests, they saw the arrogant Mongols defeated by themselves and instantly overwhelmed by glory. They think that the Mongols can conquer the world, and we can defeat the Mongols, so we naturally have the strength to conquer the world.
This is also a prelude to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's plan to use the Korean Peninsula as a springboard to attack and destroy the Ming Dynasty and then move the capital. In this context, Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched the Nonchen War. As a result, North Korea was defeated and was on the verge of national subjugation, and turned to Emperor Wanli for help. At that time, in order to safeguard Korea, the Ming Dynasty devoted itself to the decisive battle with Japan at all costs, and finally went through seven years of hard struggle. The Japanese didn't get any benefits, so they were honest for hundreds of years.
Times have changed. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese once again had the ambition to get their hands on the mainland. But in view of the painful failure lessons before, they became cautious at this time. In order to make a breakthrough on the mainland issue, they settled down to study the experience of Manchuria and Mongolia.
Especially, Mongolia, a nomadic people in Mobei, almost wiped out all the advanced forces at that time decades ago when it rose in the13rd century. The Japanese who worshipped the strong were envious to death and had Japanese who conquered the world. Therefore, Genghis Khan and his Mongolian army, as idols, not only respect but also respectfully learn from the Mongolian experience.
At the beginning, the Japanese tried to please the princes of Mongolia at that time, and even gave them everything. On the one hand, they set personal favors for themselves; On the other hand, they compete with the Soviet Union for spheres of influence; On the other hand, they earnestly study and study the experience of Mongolians.
However, this time, the Japanese still failed, and the defeat was even worse. Although Japan's economy recovered rapidly after World War II, and there was still no way to restore its former glory militarily, their genes of learning and worshiping Mongolia did not disappear, but they were more frequent in order to find a way out.
After the war, Japan invested a lot of olive branches in Mongolia, providing various assistance to Mongolia, and Mongolia reciprocated in order to find a third way out. The two sides have good relations and frequent cultural exchanges.
Or is Japan still obsessed with its own ambitions? After all, this culture in the bones is not easy to destroy.
